	9:02pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: ""Dream Thieves" [Excerpt 1]" by "Max Headroom" This was one of the best episodes.
	9:02pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:01 You're always welcome! Love this show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:02 Certainly one of my all-time favorite episodes of television.
	9:03pm Imaginos: ↳ Mr. X @9:02 I agree. Shame about Paddy. I would have loved to see a spin off with him as the main character
	9:04pm Geoff-U: Hello :waves:
	9:07pm Imaginos: ↳ Geoff-U @9:04 Ahoy
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: Make a donation to WFMU, and you could own this excellent record by James Fella & Gabriella Isaac. A steal at any price! www.discogs.com...
	9:15pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Dead Air Fresheners" by "She Dreams Herself In Bo... I like how Ricardo includes his kids in his band and his radio show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Austin Rich: Or, you could enjoy this fantastic record by MX-80, the oddball mavericks who just keep going, like the Energizer Bunny. This is a cool record that I would love to own, but it could be yours, instead! www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:15 I could be wrong, but that song might have been recorded before he had kids. Of course, he would know better than I...
	9:18pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 Good point. I was making an assumption without noticing the date.
	9:18pm Obadiah: Hello everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:04 Geoff-U! Always wonderful to have you in the Digital Salon. How did those earphones work for you? Weren't you listening to the show on something different recently?
	9:19pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: Ahh the dream palace ☁️🏰 :~) a very familiar place. Neat followup track ✨
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @9:18 Obadiah! Lovely to see you in the Digital Salon.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @9:19 red_door! I do love when you can enjoy our program. Have a seat! I think there's some hot water for tea over there...
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:18 Perhaps the oldest was already born, but probably not old enough to record yet.
	9:22pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Digital Dream" by "The Android Sisters" ❤
	9:23pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 Why thank you! Delighted to be here. 🛋️🍵 What an awesome show. I'll have some of these digital chips, please. I wonder if SAM the Wake And Bake computer is here too... Am I dreaming? ☁️✨
	9:23pm Obadiah: No such thing as too much Django.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @9:22 Slightly belated love for The Android Sisters! swoon I was getting ready for the evening but was tuned in and so happy to hear then!
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @9:23 Those digital chips are pretty good. Very little FAT sectors...
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dreams" by "Yo La Tengo" It's not Marathon without Yo La Tengo playing a cover song...
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @9:23 Agreed. We should have a Django playlist for when we're schleppin' records.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:26 Ruby Gumshoe and The Android Sisters make things better.
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: Fleetwood Mac seems to be following me around everywhere I go, and it seems like everyone is into it, again. So I'm trying to embrace it. By listening to the band Schlong play all of Rumors in 12 minutes: www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:36 They sure as heck do! As does Mid-Valley Mutations!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Austin Rich: "Ironical, isn't it?" I used to think "ironical" was poor usage, until I heard it in this show.
	9:40pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:38 Yeah, I was going to say, there were a few years there where you couldn't escape the Rumors album. I'm assuming this Yo La Tengo version was a reaction to that.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dream of Sleeping Sheep" by "Eleventh Dream Day" One of the best albums of 1991 that no one knows about.
	9:41pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Austin Rich @9:34 I'll just have a byte!
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:40 I'm not sure what their particular inspiration is, but they have made it a tradition to play covers at benefit shows for WFMU for a number of years, so it made sense to play the "dream" related cover they do...
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @9:41 <Flavor Loading... Please Wait...>
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Let Me Dream If I Want To" by "Mink DeVille" I finally replaced the Mink DeVille record that was stolen from me when we had a house break-in several years back. That took FAR too long.
	9:46pm Obadiah: I've never listened to much Mink DeVille. I like this track.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @9:46 And under-rated part of the NY scene.
	9:47pm Geoff-U: ↳ Austin Rich @9:19 AirPods™ work great for multi-tasking, listening to WFMU while simultaneously making dinner :)
	9:49pm Geoff-U: Given my druthers, I'll listen on my main stereo speakers but sometimes you gotta cook
	9:52pm Imaginos: Short wave?
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Heather Z: What I like most about stations like Sheena's is you hear things you can't hear anywhere else! All the individuals programmers have their unique spins (heh) on things so, even if someone is playing songs I already know, they're doing their mic breaks and have their own ways of doing those.
	9:54pm Obadiah: It's all about discovery. The algorithm's got nothing on the creative vision of a great DJ like Austin.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: www.wfmu.org...
	10:00pm Geoff-U: This is gonna sound weird, but I love stations like WFMU and KFJC and their very wide variety of programming because there's those times when I tune and and hear something I don't really like (at first anyway). I will keep listening to it anyway because this kind of texture of experience is really awesome, and important, I think! We shouldn't just be spoonfed everything we are guaranteed to like.
	10:01pm Obadiah: My wife Kat just laughed from the other room and said there's at least on other Kat listening.
	♥ 10:03pm Aitch: My cat listens most weeks
	10:04pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy. Have a great night everyone
	10:04pm Mr. X: One of many things that keeps me coming back to Sheena's and Mid-Valley Mutations is our little digital salon here. It's my weekly social event. I always look forward to shootin' the breeze with you guys. So thanks to programmer Ken Garson for building it!
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm Heather Z: ↳ Geoff-U @10:00 I totally get this! And then there's also the times when I hear something I've never heard and I'm, like, omg omg omg I love this!! The older I get, the harder it is for things to really grab my ears. An example of this is when Austin had TV-MA on and I got so excited I had to buy the CD right then and a copy for a friend who is going to love it when he gets it from me for his bday.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Arvo Zylo: I often play that one track on a release that I do like, and sometimes radio is that motivation.
	♥ 10:05pm WR: ↳ Heather Z @10:04 👍
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Austin Rich: "It took me hours to get that wrong, you're brilliant!"
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Arvo Zylo: I <3 Frankie Stein & His Ghouls!
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "How To Remember Your Dreams" by "King Missile" "This is it. This is Mystical Shit."
	10:06pm Mr. X: I liked TV-MA, too. Thanks for showcasing TV-MA, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:06 Oh, hell yeah! I listen to those Frankie Stein records, year-round.
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: So much love for TV-MA! I hope they tour again, so I can have them back on the show. I really like that album they put out.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "A Thousand Dreams" by "Ken Nordine" Ken Nordine is an endless well of music to re-visit. I played his collaboration with Tom Waits on the show. He collaborated with a lot of people over his lifetime, and only stopped recording just before he died, only a few years back. For someone who started as a beat poet in the 50's, that's a pretty impressive career, and his records are all very unusual and fascinating.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Song: "A Thousand Dreams" by "Ken Nordine" I used to love to listen to Ken Nordine's "Word Jazz" on the radio. Never knew he was a thing outside of Chicago until the Cramps mentioned him.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: We have a grand prize tonight, as well, that I'll announce now: A Swans 2 LP set that comes with a poster. It's a very cool record, and for someone who makes our highest donation tonight, it could be yours! www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:16 He was on public radio out here, too. But I mostly know him because Don Joyce would play Ken Nordine clips all the time, and eventually i figured out who that voice was.
	10:19pm Mr. X: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:16 When I did website work for an interior paint company, my client got permission from Ken Nordine himself to use some pieces from his "Colors" album on the paint website.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Arvo Zylo: I used to work in a video store with an adult section, and in that adult section there was a film by "Rinse Dream", it was actually featured in WFMU's Beware of the Blog at one point, wherein a woman is having sex with a man inside of a cream of wheat box. Essentially dreams are being projected on a screen, similar to what is going on with Max here, apparently. en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr. X @10:19 Nice!
	10:22pm Obadiah: I'm excited to get it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm univac: Hello, all!
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm univac: Diggin the vibe Austin!
	10:25pm Obadiah: I'll start smoking now, but I suspect being the highest donor is going to be tough with this crowd.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm univac: Hello!
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Heather Z: Hi univac!
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:20 Strangely, I have seen parts of this film! It's one of the strangest things I have seen, the Cream of Wheat scene in particular.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Romantic Space Dream [Live]" by "The Human Genome... I had this band on my show before I had a digital camera, so I don't have any visual evidence of this performance. But this was a Portland band that has members that still play around in other bands. This particular arrangement was a lot of fun to see live.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm univac: This is really excellent!
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Romantic Space Dream [Live]" by "The Human Genome... This is the singer and primary keyboard player, Amoree Lovell: www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: The gentleman singing with her / playing other keyboards went on to form a pop rock band called, "The Bugs of Lightning." The guitar player went on to play other stuff, but it escapes my mind now.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Romantic Space Dream [Live]" by "The Human Genome... If memory serves, they told me that they were named after the science discovery that you can make in the game, "Civilization."
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm univac: Austin, how do I request a specific donation perk?
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:33 You can leave a comment in your donation. (Make sure to select MVM when you do.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm univac: So just choose a sticker, for example, and then nothing else? Not the DJ Premium?
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Heather Z: Hey yeah! Cleaners!! It was Martin Newell's birthday yesterday, if I remember correctly!
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Broken Dreams For Boys" by "The Cleaners From Venus" Heather and I are still sitting on an interview we did with Martin Newell / The Cleaners From Venus. Only part of it has been seen / heard anywhere. I need to get that edited and on the show. Martin was a delight to talk with.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm univac: Cool. I really dig this.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:35 If you make a donation, you might be eligible for other premiums, too. But make sure to mention that you are donating in the name of MVM, and leave a comment for what premium you want from me, and it will be yours. (I guess you could tell me here, too.)
	10:36pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 If I could have all the hours I played Civ back, I would have enough time for a prolonged tropical vacation somewhere.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:36 I played a bit too much of it for a while. I might have been one of the last video games I got hooked on.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 He is such a lovely person! Jeesh, it was a huge honor to be able to talk with him..
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: www.criterion.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:36 I put it in the comment to you. Viva Sheena!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm univac: I love that film!
	10:41pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:37 I saw an interesting biographical video on YT somewhere about Sid Meier, the creator of Civilization. It's fascinating how he kind of floated through all the business machinations associated with that title.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dream Dream Dream" by "The Mekons" I do love that the "SIN" Records logo for The Mekons records is styled to look like the SUN RECORDS logo.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Heather Z: Reg 🥰
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Big Gold Dream" by "The Fire Engines" If your band is only so-so, you can always use male nudity to sell your records.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:48 (That's not fair, I actually like The Fire Engines. But those gents look a little oiled up, if you ask me.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Arvo Zylo: If anyone wants a vintage post card from me in addition to whatever they pledge, feel free to get in touch with Austin...
	10:50pm Obadiah: I'm not sure I could use male nudity to sell my records. Not all male nudity is created equal.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 Just how we relax after a hard day at work.
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Arvo Zylo: I'm a just a gigolo, everybody knows...
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:50 Well, when we do it it's not weird.
	10:51pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 They're not exactly Charles Atlas types...
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 No, not weird at all. No.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @10:50 Certainly. Sometimes the people who want to take their clothes off the most, shouldn't.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 True.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Arvo Zylo: "I got a little bitty baby's ass, but I'm a mean machine" - Lux Interior
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:53 I feel like I learned more from listening to Cramps records than any of those Sex Ed classes I had to take in High School.
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 My sex ed teacher was a former wrestler or something like that, and said that oral sex was gross, but he did have SGT. SLAUGHTER visit us and do a speech on the importance of protected sex...
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:55 Woah. Did you get to meet Sgt. Slaughter... for a sex ed class? That's sort of amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:55 There was another wrestler too who I don't remember, but it was part of some twin wrestlers tag team thing, if I recall.
	10:57pm Mr. X: Also not weird at all.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:56 I did! He had a baton or something, not a billy club, not a wand, but you know...
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Arvo Zylo: He was in costume, like a military man, too.
	10:58pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: Greetings from the Lurker's Corner of the Digital Salon 🍵🛋️☁️✨ Immersed in the immaculate vibes and looking forward to the extended program. Dream on, friends! ☁️🏰✨ Thanks for welcoming us into the dreamer's castle DJ Austin Rich 📻🎶
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm univac: Cool! Thx Austin. I look forward to the Swans LP set!
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm univac: Arvo, I am catching up, and am floored. Definitely not weird at all.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ univac @11:01 The guy from Survivor also played an acoustic set in a tiger print velvet shirt at that school, particularly relevant when he sang "Eye of The Tiger".
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Austin Rich: When I go long like this, sometime sthe comments get moved to the bottom of the page, instead of on the side of the page. You can still comment, and the show will continue. But the page will look weird...
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Arvo Zylo @11:04 This was not in a sex ed class, though.
	11:05pm Obadiah: I have a weird love of the band Generation X.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm univac: ↳ Arvo Zylo @11:04 Whew! I was just about to ask....
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm Austin Rich: I remember some religious body builders came to our school, and tore phone books in half, and bent rebar, and stuff like that, all in the name of the lord. After the event, on our own time (not on school time), we could talk to them, and of course they wanted us to go to their church...
	🎸 ♥ 11:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @11:05 They're great! I love them too.
	🎸 ♥ 11:06pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Obadiah @11:05 They are great. Almost wanted to see Generation Sex, but I am still of the opinion that Covid is real.
	🎸 ♥ 11:06pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo Zylo @11:04 I wish I'd gone to your school! Though Max Roach did come in to play with the talented jazz kids at my high school. That was pretty cool.
	🎸 ♥ 11:07pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @11:05 One time I worked a catering/bartending job with students at the Moody Bible Church school, and they gave me a ride to a MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT show. They didn't try to get me to go to their church anymore after that...
	11:08pm Obadiah: Might be the greatest posers in the history of Punk.
	🎸 ♥ 11:08pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Heather Z @11:06 Rock N' Roll High School and The School of Hard Knocks taught me more than regular high school did!
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm Austin Rich: I love the way Reg yells, "Wakey Wakey!" That's such an english thing to do.
	11:09pm Mr. X: Wakey wakey, rise and shine. -- Reg
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @11:08 Totally. I used to say that House of Records in Eugene raised me...
	🎸 ♥ 11:10pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Obadiah @11:08 Billy Idol has my respect, because he stole his own master tapes from the record label and made sure that his heroin dealer held them hostage until the label agreed to use the cover art as he wished. Sex Pistols just happened to do a great record. It happens with boy bands sometimes.
	🎸 ♥ 11:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Max Ernst's Dream" by "Mission of Burma" I got to see Mission of Burma twice during their reunion period, which was nice for a band I assumed I would never get to see, ever.
	🎸 ♥ 11:10pm Arvo Zylo: I love Sigue Sigue Sputnik, by the way.
	🎸 ♥ 11:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Max Ernst's Dream" by "Mission of Burma" Max Ernst is one of my favorite painters, and Mission of Burma clearly love him, too; they have two songs about Max Ernst.
	🎸 ♥ 11:13pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @11:12 I like his paintings, but his collages like the book "Une Semaine De Bonte" are really groundbreaking incredible works to me.
	🎸 ♥ 11:14pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @11:09 I was raised by Village Gate, the weird mall that had a vintage shop, a used record store, and a Gelato place that sold lemon ice. I'll be chasing that lemon ice dragon for the rest of my life.
	🎸 ♥ 11:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dream(s)" by "Gary Wilson" univac might recall that I joked about being the head of the Gary Wilson fan club. While not that far, I do have a HUGE soft spot of Wilson's records. They are all very weird and great.
	🎸 ♥ 11:16pm Arvo Zylo: I had Gary on a comp that I did once, met him in Chicago. Nice fellow.
	11:18pm Obadiah: I do have a few Sun Ra records that I'll be adding it to.
	♥ 11:18pm Aitch: Cat here asleep
	11:18pm Mr. X: Good show, great music, profound Max Headroom episode, happy Tuesday, thanks Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:19pm Arvo Zylo: Good times!
	🎸 ♥ 11:20pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @11:05 Super fun show Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @11:18 I do love that you have been listening, Aitch! Our cats are probably asleep here, too.
	🎸 ♥ 11:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "In Your Dreams" by "The Riverdales" I liked Screeching Weasel. I LOVED The Riverdales.
	11:22pm Obadiah: Fun show! Thanks Austin.
	🎸 ♥ 11:22pm Heather Z: Awesome show, Austin, and thanks for a fun chat, all! Have a great rest of your days or nights, whereever in the world yall are!
	11:22pm GorillaFella: Phenomenal show today just loving every second! Loving the chats and interludes and each song is entirely new to me! Thanks for this 🙏✨️🛌🌙🌌
	🎸 ♥ 11:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ GorillaFella @11:22 Thanks GorillaFella! Nice to have you listening.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone. We raised some dough! That's awesome!
	11:23pm Obadiah: I liked the Riverdales. I LOVED Screeching Weasel. Agree to disagree.
	🎸 ♥ 11:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @11:23 Fair. Either way, I'm sad that Ben Weasel is so dumb, and his music is so good.
	11:24pm Obadiah: Although, there is probably nothing more pointless than a heated debate about 90's pop punk.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @11:24 VERY true.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @11:23 Yay! More support for freeform radio!!
	11:26pm Obadiah: Another great show Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:27pm univac: Mitch is so funny!
	🎸 ♥ 11:27pm Austin Rich: Yeah. I need to talk to them about ad libbing the outro...

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from March 4, 2025

View austinrich's profile

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:01 Thanks Krys O! Let's hope listeners are feeling generous!
	9:02pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: ""Dream Thieves" [Excerpt 1]" by "Max Headroom" This was one of the best episodes.
	9:02pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:01 You're always welcome! Love this show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:02 Certainly one of my all-time favorite episodes of television.
	9:03pm Imaginos: ↳ Mr. X @9:02 I agree. Shame about Paddy. I would have loved to see a spin off with him as the main character
	9:04pm Geoff-U: Hello :waves:
	9:07pm Imaginos: ↳ Geoff-U @9:04 Ahoy
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: Make a donation to WFMU, and you could own this excellent record by James Fella & Gabriella Isaac. A steal at any price! www.discogs.com...
	9:15pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Dead Air Fresheners" by "She Dreams Herself In Bo... I like how Ricardo includes his kids in his band and his radio show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Austin Rich: Or, you could enjoy this fantastic record by MX-80, the oddball mavericks who just keep going, like the Energizer Bunny. This is a cool record that I would love to own, but it could be yours, instead! www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:15 I could be wrong, but that song might have been recorded before he had kids. Of course, he would know better than I...
	9:18pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 Good point. I was making an assumption without noticing the date.
	9:18pm Obadiah: Hello everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:04 Geoff-U! Always wonderful to have you in the Digital Salon. How did those earphones work for you? Weren't you listening to the show on something different recently?
	9:19pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: Ahh the dream palace ☁️🏰 :~) a very familiar place. Neat followup track ✨
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @9:18 Obadiah! Lovely to see you in the Digital Salon.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @9:19 red_door! I do love when you can enjoy our program. Have a seat! I think there's some hot water for tea over there...
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:18 Perhaps the oldest was already born, but probably not old enough to record yet.
	9:22pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Digital Dream" by "The Android Sisters" ❤
	9:23pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 Why thank you! Delighted to be here. 🛋️🍵 What an awesome show. I'll have some of these digital chips, please. I wonder if SAM the Wake And Bake computer is here too... Am I dreaming? ☁️✨
	9:23pm Obadiah: No such thing as too much Django.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @9:22 Slightly belated love for The Android Sisters! swoon I was getting ready for the evening but was tuned in and so happy to hear then!
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @9:23 Those digital chips are pretty good. Very little FAT sectors...
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dreams" by "Yo La Tengo" It's not Marathon without Yo La Tengo playing a cover song...
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @9:23 Agreed. We should have a Django playlist for when we're schleppin' records.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:26 Ruby Gumshoe and The Android Sisters make things better.
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: Fleetwood Mac seems to be following me around everywhere I go, and it seems like everyone is into it, again. So I'm trying to embrace it. By listening to the band Schlong play all of Rumors in 12 minutes: www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:36 They sure as heck do! As does Mid-Valley Mutations!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Austin Rich: "Ironical, isn't it?" I used to think "ironical" was poor usage, until I heard it in this show.
	9:40pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:38 Yeah, I was going to say, there were a few years there where you couldn't escape the Rumors album. I'm assuming this Yo La Tengo version was a reaction to that.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dream of Sleeping Sheep" by "Eleventh Dream Day" One of the best albums of 1991 that no one knows about.
	9:41pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ Austin Rich @9:34 I'll just have a byte!
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:40 I'm not sure what their particular inspiration is, but they have made it a tradition to play covers at benefit shows for WFMU for a number of years, so it made sense to play the "dream" related cover they do...
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @9:41 <Flavor Loading... Please Wait...>
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Let Me Dream If I Want To" by "Mink DeVille" I finally replaced the Mink DeVille record that was stolen from me when we had a house break-in several years back. That took FAR too long.
	9:46pm Obadiah: I've never listened to much Mink DeVille. I like this track.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @9:46 And under-rated part of the NY scene.
	9:47pm Geoff-U: ↳ Austin Rich @9:19 AirPods™ work great for multi-tasking, listening to WFMU while simultaneously making dinner :)
	9:49pm Geoff-U: Given my druthers, I'll listen on my main stereo speakers but sometimes you gotta cook
	9:52pm Imaginos: Short wave?
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Heather Z: What I like most about stations like Sheena's is you hear things you can't hear anywhere else! All the individuals programmers have their unique spins (heh) on things so, even if someone is playing songs I already know, they're doing their mic breaks and have their own ways of doing those.
	9:54pm Obadiah: It's all about discovery. The algorithm's got nothing on the creative vision of a great DJ like Austin.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: www.wfmu.org...
	10:00pm Geoff-U: This is gonna sound weird, but I love stations like WFMU and KFJC and their very wide variety of programming because there's those times when I tune and and hear something I don't really like (at first anyway). I will keep listening to it anyway because this kind of texture of experience is really awesome, and important, I think! We shouldn't just be spoonfed everything we are guaranteed to like.
	10:01pm Obadiah: My wife Kat just laughed from the other room and said there's at least on other Kat listening.
	♥ 10:03pm Aitch: My cat listens most weeks
	10:04pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy. Have a great night everyone
	10:04pm Mr. X: One of many things that keeps me coming back to Sheena's and Mid-Valley Mutations is our little digital salon here. It's my weekly social event. I always look forward to shootin' the breeze with you guys. So thanks to programmer Ken Garson for building it!
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm Heather Z: ↳ Geoff-U @10:00 I totally get this! And then there's also the times when I hear something I've never heard and I'm, like, omg omg omg I love this!! The older I get, the harder it is for things to really grab my ears. An example of this is when Austin had TV-MA on and I got so excited I had to buy the CD right then and a copy for a friend who is going to love it when he gets it from me for his bday.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Arvo Zylo: I often play that one track on a release that I do like, and sometimes radio is that motivation.
	♥ 10:05pm WR: ↳ Heather Z @10:04 👍
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Austin Rich: "It took me hours to get that wrong, you're brilliant!"
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Arvo Zylo: I <3 Frankie Stein & His Ghouls!
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "How To Remember Your Dreams" by "King Missile" "This is it. This is Mystical Shit."
	10:06pm Mr. X: I liked TV-MA, too. Thanks for showcasing TV-MA, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:06 Oh, hell yeah! I listen to those Frankie Stein records, year-round.
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: So much love for TV-MA! I hope they tour again, so I can have them back on the show. I really like that album they put out.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "A Thousand Dreams" by "Ken Nordine" Ken Nordine is an endless well of music to re-visit. I played his collaboration with Tom Waits on the show. He collaborated with a lot of people over his lifetime, and only stopped recording just before he died, only a few years back. For someone who started as a beat poet in the 50's, that's a pretty impressive career, and his records are all very unusual and fascinating.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Song: "A Thousand Dreams" by "Ken Nordine" I used to love to listen to Ken Nordine's "Word Jazz" on the radio. Never knew he was a thing outside of Chicago until the Cramps mentioned him.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: We have a grand prize tonight, as well, that I'll announce now: A Swans 2 LP set that comes with a poster. It's a very cool record, and for someone who makes our highest donation tonight, it could be yours! www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:16 He was on public radio out here, too. But I mostly know him because Don Joyce would play Ken Nordine clips all the time, and eventually i figured out who that voice was.
	10:19pm Mr. X: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:16 When I did website work for an interior paint company, my client got permission from Ken Nordine himself to use some pieces from his "Colors" album on the paint website.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Arvo Zylo: I used to work in a video store with an adult section, and in that adult section there was a film by "Rinse Dream", it was actually featured in WFMU's Beware of the Blog at one point, wherein a woman is having sex with a man inside of a cream of wheat box. Essentially dreams are being projected on a screen, similar to what is going on with Max here, apparently. en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr. X @10:19 Nice!
	10:22pm Obadiah: I'm excited to get it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm univac: Hello, all!
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm univac: Diggin the vibe Austin!
	10:25pm Obadiah: I'll start smoking now, but I suspect being the highest donor is going to be tough with this crowd.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm univac: Hello!
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Heather Z: Hi univac!
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:20 Strangely, I have seen parts of this film! It's one of the strangest things I have seen, the Cream of Wheat scene in particular.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Romantic Space Dream [Live]" by "The Human Genome... I had this band on my show before I had a digital camera, so I don't have any visual evidence of this performance. But this was a Portland band that has members that still play around in other bands. This particular arrangement was a lot of fun to see live.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm univac: This is really excellent!
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Romantic Space Dream [Live]" by "The Human Genome... This is the singer and primary keyboard player, Amoree Lovell: www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: The gentleman singing with her / playing other keyboards went on to form a pop rock band called, "The Bugs of Lightning." The guitar player went on to play other stuff, but it escapes my mind now.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Romantic Space Dream [Live]" by "The Human Genome... If memory serves, they told me that they were named after the science discovery that you can make in the game, "Civilization."
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm univac: Austin, how do I request a specific donation perk?
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:33 You can leave a comment in your donation. (Make sure to select MVM when you do.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm univac: So just choose a sticker, for example, and then nothing else? Not the DJ Premium?
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Heather Z: Hey yeah! Cleaners!! It was Martin Newell's birthday yesterday, if I remember correctly!
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Broken Dreams For Boys" by "The Cleaners From Venus" Heather and I are still sitting on an interview we did with Martin Newell / The Cleaners From Venus. Only part of it has been seen / heard anywhere. I need to get that edited and on the show. Martin was a delight to talk with.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm univac: Cool. I really dig this.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:35 If you make a donation, you might be eligible for other premiums, too. But make sure to mention that you are donating in the name of MVM, and leave a comment for what premium you want from me, and it will be yours. (I guess you could tell me here, too.)
	10:36pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 If I could have all the hours I played Civ back, I would have enough time for a prolonged tropical vacation somewhere.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:36 I played a bit too much of it for a while. I might have been one of the last video games I got hooked on.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 He is such a lovely person! Jeesh, it was a huge honor to be able to talk with him..
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: www.criterion.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:36 I put it in the comment to you. Viva Sheena!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm univac: I love that film!
	10:41pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:37 I saw an interesting biographical video on YT somewhere about Sid Meier, the creator of Civilization. It's fascinating how he kind of floated through all the business machinations associated with that title.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dream Dream Dream" by "The Mekons" I do love that the "SIN" Records logo for The Mekons records is styled to look like the SUN RECORDS logo.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Heather Z: Reg 🥰
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Big Gold Dream" by "The Fire Engines" If your band is only so-so, you can always use male nudity to sell your records.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:48 (That's not fair, I actually like The Fire Engines. But those gents look a little oiled up, if you ask me.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Arvo Zylo: If anyone wants a vintage post card from me in addition to whatever they pledge, feel free to get in touch with Austin...
	10:50pm Obadiah: I'm not sure I could use male nudity to sell my records. Not all male nudity is created equal.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 Just how we relax after a hard day at work.
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Arvo Zylo: I'm a just a gigolo, everybody knows...
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:50 Well, when we do it it's not weird.
	10:51pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 They're not exactly Charles Atlas types...
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 No, not weird at all. No.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @10:50 Certainly. Sometimes the people who want to take their clothes off the most, shouldn't.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 True.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Arvo Zylo: "I got a little bitty baby's ass, but I'm a mean machine" - Lux Interior
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:53 I feel like I learned more from listening to Cramps records than any of those Sex Ed classes I had to take in High School.
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 My sex ed teacher was a former wrestler or something like that, and said that oral sex was gross, but he did have SGT. SLAUGHTER visit us and do a speech on the importance of protected sex...
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:55 Woah. Did you get to meet Sgt. Slaughter... for a sex ed class? That's sort of amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:55 There was another wrestler too who I don't remember, but it was part of some twin wrestlers tag team thing, if I recall.
	10:57pm Mr. X: Also not weird at all.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:56 I did! He had a baton or something, not a billy club, not a wand, but you know...
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Arvo Zylo: He was in costume, like a military man, too.
	10:58pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: Greetings from the Lurker's Corner of the Digital Salon 🍵🛋️☁️✨ Immersed in the immaculate vibes and looking forward to the extended program. Dream on, friends! ☁️🏰✨ Thanks for welcoming us into the dreamer's castle DJ Austin Rich 📻🎶
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm univac: Cool! Thx Austin. I look forward to the Swans LP set!
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm univac: Arvo, I am catching up, and am floored. Definitely not weird at all.
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ univac @11:01 The guy from Survivor also played an acoustic set in a tiger print velvet shirt at that school, particularly relevant when he sang "Eye of The Tiger".
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Austin Rich: When I go long like this, sometime sthe comments get moved to the bottom of the page, instead of on the side of the page. You can still comment, and the show will continue. But the page will look weird...
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Arvo Zylo @11:04 This was not in a sex ed class, though.
	11:05pm Obadiah: I have a weird love of the band Generation X.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm univac: ↳ Arvo Zylo @11:04 Whew! I was just about to ask....
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm Austin Rich: I remember some religious body builders came to our school, and tore phone books in half, and bent rebar, and stuff like that, all in the name of the lord. After the event, on our own time (not on school time), we could talk to them, and of course they wanted us to go to their church...
	🎸 ♥ 11:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @11:05 They're great! I love them too.
	🎸 ♥ 11:06pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Obadiah @11:05 They are great. Almost wanted to see Generation Sex, but I am still of the opinion that Covid is real.
	🎸 ♥ 11:06pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo Zylo @11:04 I wish I'd gone to your school! Though Max Roach did come in to play with the talented jazz kids at my high school. That was pretty cool.
	🎸 ♥ 11:07pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @11:05 One time I worked a catering/bartending job with students at the Moody Bible Church school, and they gave me a ride to a MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT show. They didn't try to get me to go to their church anymore after that...
	11:08pm Obadiah: Might be the greatest posers in the history of Punk.
	🎸 ♥ 11:08pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Heather Z @11:06 Rock N' Roll High School and The School of Hard Knocks taught me more than regular high school did!
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm Austin Rich: I love the way Reg yells, "Wakey Wakey!" That's such an english thing to do.
	11:09pm Mr. X: Wakey wakey, rise and shine. -- Reg
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @11:08 Totally. I used to say that House of Records in Eugene raised me...
	🎸 ♥ 11:10pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Obadiah @11:08 Billy Idol has my respect, because he stole his own master tapes from the record label and made sure that his heroin dealer held them hostage until the label agreed to use the cover art as he wished. Sex Pistols just happened to do a great record. It happens with boy bands sometimes.
	🎸 ♥ 11:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Max Ernst's Dream" by "Mission of Burma" I got to see Mission of Burma twice during their reunion period, which was nice for a band I assumed I would never get to see, ever.
	🎸 ♥ 11:10pm Arvo Zylo: I love Sigue Sigue Sputnik, by the way.
	🎸 ♥ 11:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Max Ernst's Dream" by "Mission of Burma" Max Ernst is one of my favorite painters, and Mission of Burma clearly love him, too; they have two songs about Max Ernst.
	🎸 ♥ 11:13pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @11:12 I like his paintings, but his collages like the book "Une Semaine De Bonte" are really groundbreaking incredible works to me.
	🎸 ♥ 11:14pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @11:09 I was raised by Village Gate, the weird mall that had a vintage shop, a used record store, and a Gelato place that sold lemon ice. I'll be chasing that lemon ice dragon for the rest of my life.
	🎸 ♥ 11:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dream(s)" by "Gary Wilson" univac might recall that I joked about being the head of the Gary Wilson fan club. While not that far, I do have a HUGE soft spot of Wilson's records. They are all very weird and great.
	🎸 ♥ 11:16pm Arvo Zylo: I had Gary on a comp that I did once, met him in Chicago. Nice fellow.
	11:18pm Obadiah: I do have a few Sun Ra records that I'll be adding it to.
	♥ 11:18pm Aitch: Cat here asleep
	11:18pm Mr. X: Good show, great music, profound Max Headroom episode, happy Tuesday, thanks Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:19pm Arvo Zylo: Good times!
	🎸 ♥ 11:20pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @11:05 Super fun show Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @11:18 I do love that you have been listening, Aitch! Our cats are probably asleep here, too.
	🎸 ♥ 11:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "In Your Dreams" by "The Riverdales" I liked Screeching Weasel. I LOVED The Riverdales.
	11:22pm Obadiah: Fun show! Thanks Austin.
	🎸 ♥ 11:22pm Heather Z: Awesome show, Austin, and thanks for a fun chat, all! Have a great rest of your days or nights, whereever in the world yall are!
	11:22pm GorillaFella: Phenomenal show today just loving every second! Loving the chats and interludes and each song is entirely new to me! Thanks for this 🙏✨️🛌🌙🌌
	🎸 ♥ 11:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ GorillaFella @11:22 Thanks GorillaFella! Nice to have you listening.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone. We raised some dough! That's awesome!
	11:23pm Obadiah: I liked the Riverdales. I LOVED Screeching Weasel. Agree to disagree.
	🎸 ♥ 11:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @11:23 Fair. Either way, I'm sad that Ben Weasel is so dumb, and his music is so good.
	11:24pm Obadiah: Although, there is probably nothing more pointless than a heated debate about 90's pop punk.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Obadiah @11:24 VERY true.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @11:23 Yay! More support for freeform radio!!
	11:26pm Obadiah: Another great show Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:27pm univac: Mitch is so funny!
	🎸 ♥ 11:27pm Austin Rich: Yeah. I need to talk to them about ad libbing the outro...
