	🥁 ♥ 9:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: In one of those bits of Droll Yankees, I think I heard a redwing blackbird, one of my favorite bird calls. It sounds like a dot matrix printer's carriage returning. haha
	♥ 9:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:23 That whole label is fantastic! Such strange records.
	🥁 ♥ 9:24pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Falling" by "Flipper" Every time I hear Flipper, I think, "I should listen to more Flipper." Thank you, Rich!

	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm pot8o: julee cruise was born not too far from where i live! only about an hours' drive away
	🥁 ♥ 9:37pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @9:33 David Lynch lived about a ten minute walk from where I am now, in the late 60s
	♥ 9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:33 I really loved her music. It's a shame she had such horrible health struggles.
	♥ 9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:37 Oh wow. You're in the genesis spot of Eraserhead!
	🥁 ♥ 9:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: New Ex! Yay! (I mean the band, not someone's former sweetheart / spouse)
	🥁 ♥ 9:41pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:37 I actually don't live in the "Eraserhood", that's a little ways from me. I live near where he lived right after he got married and was going to art school. I walk by it all the time.
	♥ 9:43pm Rich in Washington: I'm gonna write a David Lynch-ish country song that's called All My Ex's Live In Philadelphia.

	♥ 9:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:43 I really loved their Ethiopian Jazz phase, too but kinda lost track of them since.
	🥁 ♥ 9:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:44 I saw them outdoors at Lincoln Center during that phase! It must've been 2009 or so.
	♥ 9:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:47 I've never seen them live but have seen plenty of well shot concert videos of them and they're definitely on my must-see list if they ever come my way.
	🥁 ♥ 9:48pm ultradamno: it's (ex) on my shortlist for next BC Friday, along with the Nape Neck album...
	🥁 ♥ 9:49pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Polygon" by "Pugilist & Forest Drive West" I played Forest Drive West a LOT when I was doing radio. I played Pugilist too.
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:48 Yay! I would love to see them again, too. If they play halfway between our respective homes, let's meet there.
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:44 What is this? Was it like a Hailu Mergia vibe or what? I'm ignorant of this happening.
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm ultradamno: Their ...with Tom Cora phase also not to be slept on
	♥ 9:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:49 When are you doing radio again? Soon I hope.
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:50 I second that.
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:50 that'd be my neck of the woods!
	🥁 ♥ 9:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @9:50 Yay! We three can meet there. That would be the sweetest.
	♥ 9:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:50 Oh that's right! That's the first time I heard of The Ex, although I didn't get those releases. I remember them being in the orbit of the weirdo avant/jazz people I was listening to at the time and I thought it was weird that Cora would play with what I thought were Anarcho Punk people.
	♥ 9:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:51 ..but then, I had some growin' up to do, as Jack Handey would say.
	🥁 ♥ 9:52pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:50 When I get my shit together I guess? Right now I'm trying to find a better job.
	♥ 9:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:52 You don't have to have your shit together! Look at me! JK.
	🥁 ♥ 9:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:52 Sending you "get a job you like" juju.
	🥁 ♥ 9:54pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 You know what I mean. This comp is definitely Stuff Kat Likes! I just checked it out on bc.
	♥ 9:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:52 I second Wendy's juju. Jujujuju.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:54 THANK YOU and thank Rich for jujuing! Damn though, people used to retire at my age.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:55 Jujufest! (Now I'm thinking about gummy candies)
	🥁 ♥ 9:57pm pot8o: why is it that the off-brand gummy bears are always better than the name-brand ones?
	🥁 ♥ 9:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:56 Ugh. Fuck c(r)apitalism. May you find a job you like so much you'll retire from it in a few years.
	♥ 9:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:56 Me too but I'm doing radio. Too many buttons to push, levers to pull, etc.
	🥁 ♥ 9:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:57 It's also really hard to do a mic break while eating jujubes. Oh wait, I've actually never tried that...
	🥁 ♥ 9:59pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:58 I think you just gave yourself an assignment for a future Snack Time.
	🥁 ♥ 9:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:59 grins
	🥁 ♥ 10:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Le Système Déraille" by "Pierre Bastien & Michel ... This is beautiful.
	🥁 ♥ 10:01pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:51 The first I heard of them was a review for History Is What's Happening, that and Disturbing Domestic Peace definitely gave off a Crass label vibe off the covers...when that Spanish Civil War double single came, I remember re-evaluating them altogether
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:01 (review in Touch & Go, by Tesco Vee, as I recall)
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm newton: shortly only the rich will be able to retire, and it's not like they worked first
	♥ 10:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:01 I've been slowing buying their earlier stuff and it's fantastic. Love it. Another one of those bands where I'm kicking myself for not getting inot earlier.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ newton @10:02 We should eat them.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm newton: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:03 we should write a cookbook!
	♥ 10:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Ghostly Pain To The Inflictor" by "Eleonora Kampe" This album's fantastic. I had no idea it existed until I heard it on Ken's show this week.
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: iirc tom cora was friendly with fmu and there was a lot of airplay during that period… im pretty sure there MUST be a live performance at fmu...
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ newton @10:03 bwah hahaha
	♥ 10:05pm Rich in Washington: I keep meaning to see the Comic Strip Presents movie Eat The Rich again. So bad, yet entertaining.
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm WR: checking, checking, checking... Oh, looks like I didn't write a hello. I'll blame the rabbit hole that the Issinibin Portrait by Stanisław Szukalski sent me down. Hello Rich and folks.
	♥ 10:05pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:05 Lots of the Young Ones cast, Lemmy as a spy, tons of interesting cameos.
	♥ 10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @10:05 Hi WR! Szukalski's an obsession of mine.
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm tom tom the pipers son: hi newton….
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:05 OMG, I have a vague memory of seeing the "Bad News" one on late-night teevee when I was a wee teenage girl...
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm newton: Hi WR
	10:06pm still b/p: I've got an unopened bag of Haribo Gummi Bears brought from Germany 25 years ago. I posted a comment about the bag before on WFMU, in 2012 on Scott Williams show. Now them bears are another 13 years better.
	♥ 10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:06 The Beatnik one is really good, too. Maybe the funniest.
	🥁 ♥ 10:07pm newton: hi tomtom
	🥁 ♥ 10:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ WR @10:05 Hey WR!
	🥁 ♥ 10:07pm tom tom the pipers son: www.facebook.com... tom cora period…?
	🥁 ♥ 10:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:07 Adding it to the list...
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm tom tom the pipers son: in ’04 blog.wfmu.org...
	♥ 10:08pm Rich in Washington: ↳ still b/p @10:06 Hi sb/p! I always liked Mike Rogers' joke about Haribo, based on how his Japanese born children pronounced words. "How do these gummies taste? - Haribo!" I guess you had to hear it from him.
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:08 I like that!
	♥ 10:10pm Rich in Washington: Mike Rogers, former host of The Mike Rogers Show (maybe still is in some capacity?), Japanese American, in punk bands in the 70s in L.A., then moved back to Japan and became super prolific radio DJ and had a show on the Sheena stream. Did anyone listen to it here?
	🥁 ♥ 10:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ still b/p @10:06 Ever since seeing "Hedwig," I can't think about gummy bears without pronouncing it like Hedwig did. "Gummibähren."
	♥ 10:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:10 Super nice guy. Had a debilitating heart attack and stroke but I understand is making wonderful progress with his recovery. Hopefully will be back on the air someday.
	♥ 10:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:11 Ha ha! I need to see Hedwig again! It's been far too long.
	🥁 ♥ 10:11pm newton: we didnt have gummies, we had licorice and swedish fish which were always red but everyone had to mention that part. And there were jujubes as Wendy mentioned, which I guess are like petrified gummies?
	10:12pm still b/p: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:11 Adopting that now and permanently.
	🥁 ♥ 10:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:10 I checked it out, it wasn't really my thing, but I know he had a following. I really hope he gets well!
	🥁 ♥ 10:12pm Ike: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:11 Holy crap! I heard his shows a few times. Hope he fully recovers.
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @10:11 dots figure in here somewhere in pre gummie candy
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:11 SAME. This week they showed it in Amherst with John Cameron Mitchell there to speak about it. Woulda been a great birthday event... except it sold out in three seconds or so.
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ newton @10:11 haha, no, they don't frighten that easily. (Sorry. I couldn't resist.)
	♥ 10:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Ike @10:12 Hi Ike! I see he posted a YT video several months ago and can talk again.
	🥁 ♥ 10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Imouhar (Injustice Version)" by "Mdou Moctar" I'm going to see this band, minus Mdou, in a few weeks.
	🥁 ♥ 10:14pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:13 dots. not quite gum drops
	🥁 ♥ 10:16pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Sonny's Dance" by "Marshall Allen" This dude...
	🥁 ♥ 10:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @10:14 the were not a ‘go to’ candy for me back then…even then, had a mass produced industrial aura which was not appealing
	♥ 10:17pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:14 So, just Moctar?
	🥁 ♥ 10:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:17 Haha, well, they call themselves Takaat. It means "noise" in Tamashek, which is a Taureg language. I only know this from the show listing... www.novaarts.org...
	♥ 10:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:19 Oh wow. I had no idea.
	🥁 ♥ 10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:19 Yeah, a guy I know saw them last year and said it was kickass. I'm pretty psyched for this show.
	10:20pm still b/p: Saw a couple young girls in Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard years ago darting and chasing around and pitching something hard at each other and laughing. I asked what they were throwing. "Swedish fish," said one, with an air that suggested she was curious about my curiosity, and almost with a "Duhh!" note in it for me.
	🥁 ♥ 10:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Summerland" by "Kim Deal" boy this album has som stellar work on it...
	🥁 ♥ 10:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: Beautiful segue between Marshall Allen and Kim Deal, Rich.
	♥ 10:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:21 Thank ye! Both albums are dreamy.
	🥁 ♥ 10:26pm pot8o: meeko!
	🥁 ♥ 10:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:16 i remember a video of women producing candy from their cut finger nail in an ersatz factory set up….. it was pretty engrossing / funny…can’t remember the artist's name...
	🥁 ♥ 10:27pm Ike: Meow?
	🥁 ♥ 10:28pm newton: flat on my back
	♥ 10:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Paralyzed" by "Gang of Four" not to be confused w/ daevid allen...
	♥ 10:30pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:29 Or Dave Allen the English footballer
	🥁 ♥ 10:30pm newton: I was disappointed with this album when it came out, but really how could anyone have lived up to Entertainment?
	🥁 ♥ 10:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:29 I was confused for a moment, it's true. Also, I effin' love Gang of Four.
	♥ 10:30pm Rich in Washington: Or the Irish comedian
	🥁 ♥ 10:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:30 ...especially this song Rich is playing now. Holy cow. So good.
	♥ 10:31pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @9:18 been sick, haven't been outside. but i did see a pair of otters during the dawn hours on tuesday... (too many mocking birds, jays, and corvids to count), oh, and the robins. two weeks ago i think i saw a sturgeon, would be the first one on this side of the dam since the 19th c (the dam has a fish ladder)
	♥ 10:32pm Rich in Washington: The Gong Daevid Allen died many years ago.
	♥ 10:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:31 You missed the nature report earlier. Maybe I'll play it some more later - it's still on turntable 3 because I'm too lazy to take it off.
	♥ 10:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:32 TIL 10 years is many years ago! /technically correct, the best kind of correct!.gif
	🥁 ♥ 10:33pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: Hiya Rich
	🥁 ♥ 10:33pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:30 Oh yeah, I vaguely remember Dave Allen at Large
	♥ 10:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Oleh in Pittsburgh @10:33 Hi Oleh!
	♥ 10:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:32 sorries, i was listening to a lecture on decartes, and then the call of nature kept me away....
	🥁 ♥ 10:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "I Found That Essence Rare" by "Gang Of Four" OMG this one, too! Never heard the Peel Sessions version. Yay!
	♥ 10:35pm listener john from nj is stuck in florida: ↳ Song: "Love Like Anthrax" by "Gang Of Four" Thanks for the info that this version is from their debut EP. I've heard it before, but didn't know whether it was an official version release.
	🥁 ♥ 10:36pm ultradamno: ↳ newton @10:30 I remember they were vocally dissatisfied with continuing that direction though. I remember a quote, possibly from Hugo, along the lines of "we just wrote a new song that sounds just like a Gang Of Four song" (then went on to lay out the Entertainment formula)...it kind of had to happen.
	♥ 10:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ listener john from nj is stuck in florida @10:35 It can be had for pretty cheap via the comp I'm playing. I've had that record since I was a teen. Also has Mekons and early Human League and more on it.
	🥁 ♥ 10:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Damaged Goods" by "Gang Of Four" <3 <3 <3
	♥ 10:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ listener john from nj is stuck in florida @10:35 www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm newton: ↳ ultradamno @10:36 Hugo's alright
	🥁 ♥ 10:40pm wimpy: huh, gang of four was supposed to come through town next month, wonder if thats off now
	♥ 10:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ wimpy @10:40 They also posted that they were hoping to have Dave join them on stage for a song in Portland but alas it was not to be.
	♥ 10:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Damaged Goods" by "Gang Of Four" i had damaged good on different comp, from around 99.....
	♥ 10:42pm listener john from nj is stuck in florida: Thanks for the info and the link to discogs.com about this record!
	🥁 ♥ 10:42pm Kat in the chat: ↳ wimpy @10:40 I heard on another show that they are continuing with the tour
	♥ 10:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ listener john from nj is stuck in florida @10:42 You're welcome. it's a fun compilation and one I'm very fond of.
	♥ 10:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:42 Yeah, Allen hasn't been in the band for many years. It was just going to be a one-off in Portland, or perhaps their hope, as I understand he's been struggling with dementia for a couple of years until now.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46pm ultradamno: It's a terrific comp. Love Mekons, Scars, Flowers, 2.3, early Human League I know Damaged Goods is also on this comp www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 10:47pm ultradamno: (though that's much earlier than 99)
	🥁 ♥ 10:48pm wimpy: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:44 that's a bummer. been debating on if I should go because the tickets are $35 before service fees which is an arm and a leg for me, not to mention the koch family owns the venue they're playing. still, shows like this don't come through here often, if ever
	♥ 10:49pm Rich in Washington: I keep thinking there was another Mutant Pop comp but now I think it was the Mandela effect. Love that comp a lot. I also still have the twin Virgin comps Machines and Cash Cow, both of which I played to death as a teen and was among the first records I ever DJ'd with.
	♥ 10:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ wimpy @10:48 THOSE KOCHSUCKERS!

	♥ 10:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ newton @10:51 GIMMEE IT!
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:51 I was just thinking that. Tonight I hadda cancel my plans with my ex because I'm having a goddamned allergy attack. The plans included a cheeseburger! Waah!
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm ultradamno: Guillotine was another great Virgin comp, I doubt I would know about The Table and Avant Gardener without it, first time I heard Roky too.
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:14 Saw them in Feb with JanelLeppin. One of the verybest concerts I’ve ever been to. Mdou Moctar is an incredible guitarist

	🥁 ♥ 10:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:53 Thanks, Rich. It has me majorly bummed out. I've been feeling awful all day, even though it's otherwise been a pretty damn good day. Silver lining: instead of going out, I'm staying home listening to your show!
	🥁 ♥ 10:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:54 Thanks, Kat. Just when I was done with MRSA (took the last pill today), this fucker creeps in. My nose has been a faucet all day. I'm so grouchy about it.
	🥁 ♥ 10:56pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:54 Jannel Lippin knocked me out too. She’s maried to guitarist Anthony Pirog of the Messethics. Second time seeing Moctar, even better than the first. Much more intimate venue

	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ wimpy @10:57 Thanks, wimpy. It was pretty annoying but it coulda been much worse. We nailed it quickly and I'm totally on the other side of it now.
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:58 Haha, thanks, Kat. Otherwise, many things are going very well!
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Nemesis" by "Shriekback" This has been a favorite of mine since it came out. Love a good singalong chorus, especially one that rhymes "nemesis" with "parthenogenesis."
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:56 MRSA.sorry! I worked as a therapist and always worried about getting it or C-diff, and then Covid. Doged those bullets, until last year when I finally got Covid. Take care if yourself.

I was on anti-biotics for staph (I get it now and again) and all of a sudden my GI tract, well... It wasn't C-diff. Just a stomach virus that was going around. I hope COVID wasn't too terrible for you. You take care, too!
	🥁 ♥ 11:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm actually pretty healthy! In spite of what I've written here. haha.
	♥ 11:10pm ironybread: Hello lovers
	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:04 Thanks Wendy. It presented as a familiar head cold to chest , my usual course. It all turned into a nagging bronchitis forweeks. You too! Take care Lotsa crapola out in the aether
	♥ 11:12pm ironybread: hi Wendy where the hell are you I need to buy you lunch but I probably cannot because I live in the southern of the Californias
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Police Truck" by "Dead Kennedys" This song goes through my head fairly often.
	♥ 11:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @11:10 Hiya Mr. ironybread!
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm wimpy: excited for primal ice cream, I actually get off right when the show starts. I'm pumped!
	♥ 11:13pm ironybread: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:13 went and met another archivist in Burbank tonight and he is a super mutant obsessive like me and we got on like a house on fire!
	🥁 ♥ 11:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ironybread @11:12 ironybread! I'd love to have lunch with you. I live in the southern of the Vermonsters. I do have a fantasy of taking a cross-country Amtrak trip some time this year. I just have to conjure up some money. Stay tuned!

	♥ 11:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:18 You betcha
	🥁 ♥ 11:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:19 Do I win a prize?
	11:20pm still b/p: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:14 Get a sleeper! Took Amtrak from West Texas to San Francisco once with a special deal that didn't include a lie-down, and, man, sleeping in a regular seat for a couple overnights is noooooo good. Add crying babies and malfunctioning AC and it was a rail adventure not fondly recalled, except for the most scenic portions.
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ still b/p @11:20 Oh, I have already had that haribo experience, still b/p. I took an overnight from NYPenn to Florida and didn't get a sleeper car. Never again! Wendo needs her sleep and her privacy!
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Dicks Hate Police" by "The Dicks" YES! YES! YES!
	♥ 11:22pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Dead Cops/ Americas So Straight" by "MDC" one of my fave houston hardcore bands!
	🥁 ♥ 11:23pm ultradamno: Dicks may hate police, but as much as a Weezer bassist's wife?
	🥁 ♥ 11:24pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:22 I like how you immediately employed "haribo" as an adjective
	🥁 ♥ 11:24pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:24 It's too good not to!
	♥ 11:25pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:23 I hate the police but not as much as I hate Weezer
	🥁 ♥ 11:26pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:23 In fairness, an author in her own right www.nbcnews.com...
	♥ 11:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:24 well, when you're bouncing here and there and everywhere
	🥁 ♥ 11:28pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @11:27 she's been here and she's been there and she's been in between
	🥁 ♥ 11:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @11:28 Huh? What have I done this time?
	🥁 ♥ 11:31pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:30 (i can't tell if you're asking me to explain the joke or if you're adding to the joke so pretend there's a witty riposte here)
	🥁 ♥ 11:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @11:31 I don't get the joke. This is not uncommon.
	🥁 ♥ 11:32pm pot8o: (it's a lyric from i talk to the wind by king crimson for the uninitiated: "said the straight man/to the late man/where have you been i've been here and/i've been there and/i've been in between")
	♥ 11:32pm ironybread: I hope that Feederz album cover isn't one of those Magic Eye things or I'm going blind
	🥁 ♥ 11:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @11:32 Ah yes, that song. I thought we were talking about Gummibähren.
	♥ 11:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @11:32 It's sandpaper. Literal sandpaper
	♥ 11:34pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:28 high adventures that are beyond compare /the 80s gummi bears cartonn lyrics...
	♥ 11:34pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @11:34 errr, cartoon
	🥁 ♥ 11:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @11:34 There was a cartoon of candy?!? Oy gevalt.
	🥁 ♥ 11:36pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @11:34 that show was probably old enough to go to college when i was born
	🥁 ♥ 11:39pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:33 Hah! Best texured cover I have ever felt was by John Bender a synth guy. It was slatherered in plaster. Called appropriately Plaster Falling circa 1983 Damn thing got all over your hands and clothes. Had to be very careful to not get it on the record isseff
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:33 really good song! there's a really great demo version floating around, it's got judy dyble instead of greg lake on vocals
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Police on My Back" by "The Clash" \m/
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Police on My Back" by "The Clash" Ahhhhhhhhh

	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: ↳ Song: "Theme From SWAT" by "S.W.A.T." Great!
	11:45pm still b/p: Shaft...?
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm pot8o: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:43 oh yeah, it's a lot more folksy and... i don't know, down to earth? i feel like her vocals work better than greg lake's on that track, and she'd probably ace a lot of the other cuts off that record too (although greg lake does a top notch on his own too)
	♥ 11:46pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:36 i used to watch cartoons decades before i was born (ok, mostly disney and looney tunes, but also hanna-barbera about a decade before i was born)
	🥁 ♥ 11:47pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Theme From SWAT" by "S.W.A.T." I remember the theme from SWAT being very different. Not an Issac Hayes imprint at all.
	11:47pm still b/p: The Gummies and Jujubes of different cop and detective themes are all sticky-wadded/mashed up in my ears now.
	🥁 ♥ 11:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Police Story" by "Black Flag" YES!!! This is one of the first comps I ever bought, back when I was just a kid. It explains a lot...
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Cops Are The Only Real People Left" by "S.W.A.T." this feels like if negativland made a rock album
	♥ 11:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:49 Me too!
	🥁 ♥ 11:51pm ultradamno: static1.srcdn.com...

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from April 11, 2025

View Rich in Washington's profile

The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

	🥁 ♥ 9:16pm Kat in the chat: ↳ newton @9:15 I guess they have a less cute side. I always felt like they were good luck when I saw one in Chi.

	🥁 ♥ 9:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: In one of those bits of Droll Yankees, I think I heard a redwing blackbird, one of my favorite bird calls. It sounds like a dot matrix printer's carriage returning. haha
	♥ 9:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:23 That whole label is fantastic! Such strange records.
	🥁 ♥ 9:24pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Falling" by "Flipper" Every time I hear Flipper, I think, "I should listen to more Flipper." Thank you, Rich!

	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm pot8o: julee cruise was born not too far from where i live! only about an hours' drive away
	🥁 ♥ 9:37pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @9:33 David Lynch lived about a ten minute walk from where I am now, in the late 60s
	♥ 9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:33 I really loved her music. It's a shame she had such horrible health struggles.
	♥ 9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:37 Oh wow. You're in the genesis spot of Eraserhead!
	🥁 ♥ 9:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: New Ex! Yay! (I mean the band, not someone's former sweetheart / spouse)
	🥁 ♥ 9:41pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:37 I actually don't live in the "Eraserhood", that's a little ways from me. I live near where he lived right after he got married and was going to art school. I walk by it all the time.
	♥ 9:43pm Rich in Washington: I'm gonna write a David Lynch-ish country song that's called All My Ex's Live In Philadelphia.

	♥ 9:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:43 I really loved their Ethiopian Jazz phase, too but kinda lost track of them since.
	🥁 ♥ 9:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:44 I saw them outdoors at Lincoln Center during that phase! It must've been 2009 or so.
	♥ 9:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:47 I've never seen them live but have seen plenty of well shot concert videos of them and they're definitely on my must-see list if they ever come my way.
	🥁 ♥ 9:48pm ultradamno: it's (ex) on my shortlist for next BC Friday, along with the Nape Neck album...
	🥁 ♥ 9:49pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Polygon" by "Pugilist & Forest Drive West" I played Forest Drive West a LOT when I was doing radio. I played Pugilist too.
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:48 Yay! I would love to see them again, too. If they play halfway between our respective homes, let's meet there.
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:44 What is this? Was it like a Hailu Mergia vibe or what? I'm ignorant of this happening.
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm ultradamno: Their ...with Tom Cora phase also not to be slept on
	♥ 9:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:49 When are you doing radio again? Soon I hope.
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:50 I second that.
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:50 that'd be my neck of the woods!
	🥁 ♥ 9:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @9:50 Yay! We three can meet there. That would be the sweetest.
	♥ 9:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:50 Oh that's right! That's the first time I heard of The Ex, although I didn't get those releases. I remember them being in the orbit of the weirdo avant/jazz people I was listening to at the time and I thought it was weird that Cora would play with what I thought were Anarcho Punk people.
	♥ 9:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:51 ..but then, I had some growin' up to do, as Jack Handey would say.
	🥁 ♥ 9:52pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:50 When I get my shit together I guess? Right now I'm trying to find a better job.
	♥ 9:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:52 You don't have to have your shit together! Look at me! JK.
	🥁 ♥ 9:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:52 Sending you "get a job you like" juju.
	🥁 ♥ 9:54pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 You know what I mean. This comp is definitely Stuff Kat Likes! I just checked it out on bc.
	♥ 9:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:52 I second Wendy's juju. Jujujuju.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:54 THANK YOU and thank Rich for jujuing! Damn though, people used to retire at my age.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:55 Jujufest! (Now I'm thinking about gummy candies)
	🥁 ♥ 9:57pm pot8o: why is it that the off-brand gummy bears are always better than the name-brand ones?
	🥁 ♥ 9:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:56 Ugh. Fuck c(r)apitalism. May you find a job you like so much you'll retire from it in a few years.
	♥ 9:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:56 Me too but I'm doing radio. Too many buttons to push, levers to pull, etc.
	🥁 ♥ 9:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:57 It's also really hard to do a mic break while eating jujubes. Oh wait, I've actually never tried that...
	🥁 ♥ 9:59pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:58 I think you just gave yourself an assignment for a future Snack Time.
	🥁 ♥ 9:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:59 grins
	🥁 ♥ 10:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Le Système Déraille" by "Pierre Bastien & Michel ... This is beautiful.
	🥁 ♥ 10:01pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:51 The first I heard of them was a review for History Is What's Happening, that and Disturbing Domestic Peace definitely gave off a Crass label vibe off the covers...when that Spanish Civil War double single came, I remember re-evaluating them altogether
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:01 (review in Touch & Go, by Tesco Vee, as I recall)
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm newton: shortly only the rich will be able to retire, and it's not like they worked first
	♥ 10:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:01 I've been slowing buying their earlier stuff and it's fantastic. Love it. Another one of those bands where I'm kicking myself for not getting inot earlier.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ newton @10:02 We should eat them.
	🥁 ♥ 10:03pm newton: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:03 we should write a cookbook!
	♥ 10:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Ghostly Pain To The Inflictor" by "Eleonora Kampe" This album's fantastic. I had no idea it existed until I heard it on Ken's show this week.
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: iirc tom cora was friendly with fmu and there was a lot of airplay during that period… im pretty sure there MUST be a live performance at fmu...
	🥁 ♥ 10:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ newton @10:03 bwah hahaha
	♥ 10:05pm Rich in Washington: I keep meaning to see the Comic Strip Presents movie Eat The Rich again. So bad, yet entertaining.
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm WR: checking, checking, checking... Oh, looks like I didn't write a hello. I'll blame the rabbit hole that the Issinibin Portrait by Stanisław Szukalski sent me down. Hello Rich and folks.
	♥ 10:05pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:05 Lots of the Young Ones cast, Lemmy as a spy, tons of interesting cameos.
	♥ 10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @10:05 Hi WR! Szukalski's an obsession of mine.
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm tom tom the pipers son: hi newton….
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:05 OMG, I have a vague memory of seeing the "Bad News" one on late-night teevee when I was a wee teenage girl...
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm newton: Hi WR
	10:06pm still b/p: I've got an unopened bag of Haribo Gummi Bears brought from Germany 25 years ago. I posted a comment about the bag before on WFMU, in 2012 on Scott Williams show. Now them bears are another 13 years better.
	♥ 10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:06 The Beatnik one is really good, too. Maybe the funniest.
	🥁 ♥ 10:07pm newton: hi tomtom
	🥁 ♥ 10:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ WR @10:05 Hey WR!
	🥁 ♥ 10:07pm tom tom the pipers son: www.facebook.com... tom cora period…?
	🥁 ♥ 10:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:07 Adding it to the list...
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm tom tom the pipers son: in ’04 blog.wfmu.org...
	♥ 10:08pm Rich in Washington: ↳ still b/p @10:06 Hi sb/p! I always liked Mike Rogers' joke about Haribo, based on how his Japanese born children pronounced words. "How do these gummies taste? - Haribo!" I guess you had to hear it from him.
	🥁 ♥ 10:10pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:08 I like that!
	♥ 10:10pm Rich in Washington: Mike Rogers, former host of The Mike Rogers Show (maybe still is in some capacity?), Japanese American, in punk bands in the 70s in L.A., then moved back to Japan and became super prolific radio DJ and had a show on the Sheena stream. Did anyone listen to it here?
	🥁 ♥ 10:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ still b/p @10:06 Ever since seeing "Hedwig," I can't think about gummy bears without pronouncing it like Hedwig did. "Gummibähren."
	♥ 10:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:10 Super nice guy. Had a debilitating heart attack and stroke but I understand is making wonderful progress with his recovery. Hopefully will be back on the air someday.
	♥ 10:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:11 Ha ha! I need to see Hedwig again! It's been far too long.
	🥁 ♥ 10:11pm newton: we didnt have gummies, we had licorice and swedish fish which were always red but everyone had to mention that part. And there were jujubes as Wendy mentioned, which I guess are like petrified gummies?
	10:12pm still b/p: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:11 Adopting that now and permanently.
	🥁 ♥ 10:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:10 I checked it out, it wasn't really my thing, but I know he had a following. I really hope he gets well!
	🥁 ♥ 10:12pm Ike: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:11 Holy crap! I heard his shows a few times. Hope he fully recovers.
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @10:11 dots figure in here somewhere in pre gummie candy
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:11 SAME. This week they showed it in Amherst with John Cameron Mitchell there to speak about it. Woulda been a great birthday event... except it sold out in three seconds or so.
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ newton @10:11 haha, no, they don't frighten that easily. (Sorry. I couldn't resist.)
	♥ 10:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Ike @10:12 Hi Ike! I see he posted a YT video several months ago and can talk again.
	🥁 ♥ 10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Imouhar (Injustice Version)" by "Mdou Moctar" I'm going to see this band, minus Mdou, in a few weeks.
	🥁 ♥ 10:14pm newton: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:13 dots. not quite gum drops
	🥁 ♥ 10:16pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Sonny's Dance" by "Marshall Allen" This dude...
	🥁 ♥ 10:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ newton @10:14 the were not a ‘go to’ candy for me back then…even then, had a mass produced industrial aura which was not appealing
	♥ 10:17pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:14 So, just Moctar?
	🥁 ♥ 10:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:17 Haha, well, they call themselves Takaat. It means "noise" in Tamashek, which is a Taureg language. I only know this from the show listing... www.novaarts.org...
	♥ 10:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:19 Oh wow. I had no idea.
	🥁 ♥ 10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:19 Yeah, a guy I know saw them last year and said it was kickass. I'm pretty psyched for this show.
	10:20pm still b/p: Saw a couple young girls in Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard years ago darting and chasing around and pitching something hard at each other and laughing. I asked what they were throwing. "Swedish fish," said one, with an air that suggested she was curious about my curiosity, and almost with a "Duhh!" note in it for me.
	🥁 ♥ 10:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Summerland" by "Kim Deal" boy this album has som stellar work on it...
	🥁 ♥ 10:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: Beautiful segue between Marshall Allen and Kim Deal, Rich.
	♥ 10:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:21 Thank ye! Both albums are dreamy.
	🥁 ♥ 10:26pm pot8o: meeko!
	🥁 ♥ 10:26pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:16 i remember a video of women producing candy from their cut finger nail in an ersatz factory set up….. it was pretty engrossing / funny…can’t remember the artist's name...
	🥁 ♥ 10:27pm Ike: Meow?
	🥁 ♥ 10:28pm newton: flat on my back
	♥ 10:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Paralyzed" by "Gang of Four" not to be confused w/ daevid allen...
	♥ 10:30pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:29 Or Dave Allen the English footballer
	🥁 ♥ 10:30pm newton: I was disappointed with this album when it came out, but really how could anyone have lived up to Entertainment?
	🥁 ♥ 10:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:29 I was confused for a moment, it's true. Also, I effin' love Gang of Four.
	♥ 10:30pm Rich in Washington: Or the Irish comedian
	🥁 ♥ 10:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:30 ...especially this song Rich is playing now. Holy cow. So good.

(too many mocking birds, jays, and corvids to count), oh, and the robins. two weeks ago i think i saw a sturgeon, would be the first one on this side of the dam since the 19th c (the dam has a fish ladder)
	♥ 10:32pm Rich in Washington: The Gong Daevid Allen died many years ago.
	♥ 10:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:31 You missed the nature report earlier. Maybe I'll play it some more later - it's still on turntable 3 because I'm too lazy to take it off.
	♥ 10:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:32 TIL 10 years is many years ago! /technically correct, the best kind of correct!.gif
	🥁 ♥ 10:33pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: Hiya Rich

	♥ 10:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Oleh in Pittsburgh @10:33 Hi Oleh!
	♥ 10:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:32 sorries, i was listening to a lecture on decartes, and then the call of nature kept me away....
	🥁 ♥ 10:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "I Found That Essence Rare" by "Gang Of Four" OMG this one, too! Never heard the Peel Sessions version. Yay!
	♥ 10:35pm listener john from nj is stuck in florida: ↳ Song: "Love Like Anthrax" by "Gang Of Four" Thanks for the info that this version is from their debut EP. I've heard it before, but didn't know whether it was an official version release.
	🥁 ♥ 10:36pm ultradamno: ↳ newton @10:30 I remember they were vocally dissatisfied with continuing that direction though. I remember a quote, possibly from Hugo, along the lines of "we just wrote a new song that sounds just like a Gang Of Four song" (then went on to lay out the Entertainment formula)...it kind of had to happen.
	♥ 10:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ listener john from nj is stuck in florida @10:35 It can be had for pretty cheap via the comp I'm playing. I've had that record since I was a teen. Also has Mekons and early Human League and more on it.
	🥁 ♥ 10:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Damaged Goods" by "Gang Of Four" <3 <3 <3
	♥ 10:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ listener john from nj is stuck in florida @10:35 www.discogs.com...

	♥ 10:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ wimpy @10:40 They also posted that they were hoping to have Dave join them on stage for a song in Portland but alas it was not to be.
	♥ 10:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Damaged Goods" by "Gang Of Four" i had damaged good on different comp, from around 99.....
	♥ 10:42pm listener john from nj is stuck in florida: Thanks for the info and the link to discogs.com about this record!
	🥁 ♥ 10:42pm Kat in the chat: ↳ wimpy @10:40 I heard on another show that they are continuing with the tour
	♥ 10:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ listener john from nj is stuck in florida @10:42 You're welcome. it's a fun compilation and one I'm very fond of.
	♥ 10:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:42 Yeah, Allen hasn't been in the band for many years. It was just going to be a one-off in Portland, or perhaps their hope, as I understand he's been struggling with dementia for a couple of years until now.
	🥁 ♥ 10:46pm ultradamno: It's a terrific comp. Love Mekons, Scars, Flowers, 2.3, early Human League I know Damaged Goods is also on this comp www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 10:47pm ultradamno: (though that's much earlier than 99)
	🥁 ♥ 10:48pm wimpy: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:44 that's a bummer. been debating on if I should go because the tickets are $35 before service fees which is an arm and a leg for me, not to mention the koch family owns the venue they're playing. still, shows like this don't come through here often, if ever
	♥ 10:49pm Rich in Washington: I keep thinking there was another Mutant Pop comp but now I think it was the Mandela effect. Love that comp a lot. I also still have the twin Virgin comps Machines and Cash Cow, both of which I played to death as a teen and was among the first records I ever DJ'd with.
	♥ 10:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ wimpy @10:48 THOSE KOCHSUCKERS!

	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm ultradamno: Guillotine was another great Virgin comp, I doubt I would know about The Table and Avant Gardener without it, first time I heard Roky too.
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:14 Saw them in Feb with JanelLeppin. One of the verybest concerts I’ve ever been to. Mdou Moctar is an incredible guitarist

	🥁 ♥ 10:54pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:51 how about a piece of pie? we've got good pieces of pie you know
	♥ 10:54pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @10:54 Lol. Was just thinking about that track the other day.
	🥁 ♥ 10:54pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:52 Oh no, phooey :(
	🥁 ♥ 10:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:53 Thanks, Rich. It has me majorly bummed out. I've been feeling awful all day, even though it's otherwise been a pretty damn good day. Silver lining: instead of going out, I'm staying home listening to your show!
	🥁 ♥ 10:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:54 Thanks, Kat. Just when I was done with MRSA (took the last pill today), this fucker creeps in. My nose has been a faucet all day. I'm so grouchy about it.
	🥁 ♥ 10:56pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:54 Jannel Lippin knocked me out too. She’s maried to guitarist Anthony Pirog of the Messethics. Second time seeing Moctar, even better than the first. Much more intimate venue
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:54 plate of shrimp!
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm wimpy: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:56 mrsa's a bastard! sorry wendy
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Oleh in Pittsburgh @10:56 Good to know! I saw The Messthetics a year ago. That was a great show.
	🥁 ♥ 10:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:56 I was just wondering about the MRSA. Jeez, give Wendy a break, whoever's in charge there.
	🥁 ♥ 10:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:57 They were just here but I couldn't go.
	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ wimpy @10:57 Thanks, wimpy. It was pretty annoying but it coulda been much worse. We nailed it quickly and I'm totally on the other side of it now.
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:58 Haha, thanks, Kat. Otherwise, many things are going very well!
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Nemesis" by "Shriekback" This has been a favorite of mine since it came out. Love a good singalong chorus, especially one that rhymes "nemesis" with "parthenogenesis."
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:56 MRSA.sorry! I worked as a therapist and always worried about getting it or C-diff, and then Covid. Doged those bullets, until last year when I finally got Covid. Take care if yourself.
	🥁 ♥ 11:04pm newton: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:00 just like jesus
	🥁 ♥ 11:04pm Kat in the chat: Rich with the extended disco mix here
	🥁 ♥ 11:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Oleh in Pittsburgh @11:00 Thank you, Oleh. I was worried I'd had C-diff a few years ago. I was on anti-biotics for staph (I get it now and again) and all of a sudden my GI tract, well... It wasn't C-diff. Just a stomach virus that was going around. I hope COVID wasn't too terrible for you. You take care, too!
	🥁 ♥ 11:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm actually pretty healthy! In spite of what I've written here. haha.
	♥ 11:10pm ironybread: Hello lovers
	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:04 Thanks Wendy. It presented as a familiar head cold to chest , my usual course. It all turned into a nagging bronchitis forweeks. You too! Take care Lotsa crapola out in the aether
	♥ 11:12pm ironybread: hi Wendy where the hell are you I need to buy you lunch but I probably cannot because I live in the southern of the Californias
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Police Truck" by "Dead Kennedys" This song goes through my head fairly often.
	♥ 11:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @11:10 Hiya Mr. ironybread!
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm wimpy: excited for primal ice cream, I actually get off right when the show starts. I'm pumped!
	♥ 11:13pm ironybread: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:13 went and met another archivist in Burbank tonight and he is a super mutant obsessive like me and we got on like a house on fire!
	🥁 ♥ 11:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ironybread @11:12 ironybread! I'd love to have lunch with you. I live in the southern of the Vermonsters. I do have a fantasy of taking a cross-country Amtrak trip some time this year. I just have to conjure up some money. Stay tuned!
	♥ 11:15pm ironybread: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:14 roger that
	♥ 11:16pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @11:13 Nice!
	♥ 11:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Nemesis" by "Shriekback" didn't know dave allen was in shriekback...
	🥁 ♥ 11:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: Was that "I'll kill you" clip from Taxi Driver?
	♥ 11:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:18 You betcha
	🥁 ♥ 11:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:19 Do I win a prize?
	11:20pm still b/p: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:14 Get a sleeper! Took Amtrak from West Texas to San Francisco once with a special deal that didn't include a lie-down, and, man, sleeping in a regular seat for a couple overnights is noooooo good. Add crying babies and malfunctioning AC and it was a rail adventure not fondly recalled, except for the most scenic portions.
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ still b/p @11:20 Oh, I have already had that haribo experience, still b/p. I took an overnight from NYPenn to Florida and didn't get a sleeper car. Never again! Wendo needs her sleep and her privacy!
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Dicks Hate Police" by "The Dicks" YES! YES! YES!
	♥ 11:22pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Dead Cops/ Americas So Straight" by "MDC" one of my fave houston hardcore bands!
	🥁 ♥ 11:23pm ultradamno: Dicks may hate police, but as much as a Weezer bassist's wife?
	🥁 ♥ 11:24pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:22 I like how you immediately employed "haribo" as an adjective
	🥁 ♥ 11:24pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:24 It's too good not to!
	♥ 11:25pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:23 I hate the police but not as much as I hate Weezer
	🥁 ♥ 11:26pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:23 In fairness, an author in her own right www.nbcnews.com...
	♥ 11:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:24 well, when you're bouncing here and there and everywhere
	🥁 ♥ 11:28pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @11:27 she's been here and she's been there and she's been in between
	🥁 ♥ 11:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @11:28 Huh? What have I done this time?
	🥁 ♥ 11:31pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:30 (i can't tell if you're asking me to explain the joke or if you're adding to the joke so pretend there's a witty riposte here)
	🥁 ♥ 11:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @11:31 I don't get the joke. This is not uncommon.
	🥁 ♥ 11:32pm pot8o: (it's a lyric from i talk to the wind by king crimson for the uninitiated: "said the straight man/to the late man/where have you been i've been here and/i've been there and/i've been in between")
	♥ 11:32pm ironybread: I hope that Feederz album cover isn't one of those Magic Eye things or I'm going blind
	🥁 ♥ 11:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @11:32 Ah yes, that song. I thought we were talking about Gummibähren.
	♥ 11:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @11:32 It's sandpaper. Literal sandpaper
	♥ 11:34pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:28 high adventures that are beyond compare /the 80s gummi bears cartonn lyrics...
	♥ 11:34pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @11:34 errr, cartoon
	🥁 ♥ 11:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @11:34 There was a cartoon of candy?!? Oy gevalt.
	🥁 ♥ 11:36pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @11:34 that show was probably old enough to go to college when i was born
	🥁 ♥ 11:39pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:33 Hah! Best texured cover I have ever felt was by John Bender a synth guy. It was slatherered in plaster. Called appropriately Plaster Falling circa 1983 Damn thing got all over your hands and clothes. Had to be very careful to not get it on the record isseff
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:33 really good song! there's a really great demo version floating around, it's got judy dyble instead of greg lake on vocals
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Police on My Back" by "The Clash" \m/
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Police on My Back" by "The Clash" Ahhhhhhhhh
	🥁 ♥ 11:43pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @11:40 I only found out about the Giles, Giles and Fripp version when Judy Dyble passed. I love it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Oleh in Pittsburgh: ↳ Song: "Theme From SWAT" by "S.W.A.T." Great!
	11:45pm still b/p: Shaft...?
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm pot8o: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:43 oh yeah, it's a lot more folksy and... i don't know, down to earth? i feel like her vocals work better than greg lake's on that track, and she'd probably ace a lot of the other cuts off that record too (although greg lake does a top notch on his own too)
	♥ 11:46pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:36 i used to watch cartoons decades before i was born (ok, mostly disney and looney tunes, but also hanna-barbera about a decade before i was born)
	🥁 ♥ 11:47pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Theme From SWAT" by "S.W.A.T." I remember the theme from SWAT being very different. Not an Issac Hayes imprint at all.
	11:47pm still b/p: The Gummies and Jujubes of different cop and detective themes are all sticky-wadded/mashed up in my ears now.
	🥁 ♥ 11:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Police Story" by "Black Flag" YES!!! This is one of the first comps I ever bought, back when I was just a kid. It explains a lot...
	🥁 ♥ 11:50pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Cops Are The Only Real People Left" by "S.W.A.T." this feels like if negativland made a rock album
	♥ 11:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:49 Me too!
	🥁 ♥ 11:51pm ultradamno: static1.srcdn.com...
