	12:18pm TDK60: Hey Bryce. I saw Daniel Menche at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn @ 2 years ago, along with Horse Lords. Mr Menche is an intense presence onstage.
	♥ 12:18pm coelacanth∅: this sound resonates with me.
	♥ 12:21pm uıʇsn∀: from wikipedia, "In 1980 to 1985 Daniel Menche was a successful juggler"
	12:23pm Cheri Pi: Woof woof!
	♥ 12:23pm coelacanth∅: this actually sounds like my forced air heat's fan, which i've recorded several times throughout it's sonic evolution.
	12:24pm Bryce: :)
	12:24pm Bryce: halluuuu
	♥ 12:25pm steveo: sometimes my air conditioner gives me a little miami vice theme excerpt
	12:30pm BronwynB: hey bryce and everyone!
	12:30pm TDK60: I am sometimes erratic, Bryce; but I can still listen.
	♥ 12:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: ᕕ(⌐■_■)ᕗ ♪♬ <<< Just look at this guy resonate!
	12:31pm mjgoins: I wonder if the thing about being a juggler is true? Never know with wikipedia...
	12:32pm chris in london: This track is awesome! perfect soundtrack for packing pre-moving house. thanks Bryce!
	12:32pm Chris from DC: Th'Menche!
	12:33pm Bryce: mjgoins, i'm sure it is. i can verify that he's currently a (beloved) elementary school librarian!
	12:34pm sphere: hello peops
	12:35pm Bryce: kenw, me too! i had a bunch of his 7"s from forever ago and thought they were real nice. but one day i thought to check the fmu cd wall. this was the 1st thing i pulled out, and my brain popped.
	12:37pm chris in london: its brain-poppingly amazing!! i've never heard of him before. when was this recorded?
	12:38pm KenW: And a proud Papa of a little dog named Arrow
	12:42pm △: :) - me
	12:44pm KenW: Bryce, it was revelation when you first played this entire album, allowing this space and time was what really really REALLY turned me onto your show <3
	12:44pm Bryce: deltacuck
	12:44pm Bryce: chris, mid-2000s, i think. 2005 or 6?
	♥ 12:44pm Rich in Washington: Daniel Menche was also on Portland morning kiddie show Bumpity, doing his juggling routine.
	♥ 12:47pm coelacanth∅: i thought you were saying MMXV
	♥ 12:47pm Rich in Washington: The first time I ever saw Menche perform was him opening for Negativland at The Pine Street Theater some time in the early 90s.
	12:47pm KenW: It's ALL great, but Beast Resonator was my first intro and totally blew me away ! danielmenche.bandcamp.com
	12:47pm TDK60: I lived in Portland mid '00s and discovered Menche via a CD in the public library.
	♥ 12:49pm coelacanth∅: i've known a professional clown (female, so only 66% as creepy), a professional juggler, and an emt who was going to clown school. it happens.
	12:50pm sphere: bandcamp is the totally awesome. i can dash off and grab Brycemusik for my very own! so great.
	12:52pm chris in london: @ken w- i am having that revelation experience right now :0) I can't wait to check out more Mr Mench!
	12:52pm Mark Williams: hey I missed the beginning of this piece. Can you start over, Bryce?
	12:52pm sphere: *no i do not work for bandcamp at all not even a little bit. but my bandcamp nym is metawyrd.
	12:53pm Bryce: rich, that's so neat! was he doing noisy stuff? negativland actually makes sense. i know he really loves People Like Us....
	12:53pm sim: I am enthralled at what I've been hearing.Thank you.
	12:53pm KenW: @ Chris> YAY! There have been soooooooooooooo many revelations for me durning Bryce's sets, ENJOY!
	♥ 12:54pm coelacanth∅: i discovered Mr.Menche a few years ago while image searching "odradek". 6 albums have helped me sleep ever since then, but never heard "sleeper" until a few months ago when some folks on these here comment boards suggested it. it's my favorite for now.
	12:55pm TDK60: When I saw him, he had a table full of electronic stuff. He also had a long hollow tube hooked up; hummed into it and got massive vocal sounds like some big monster. His whole body vibrated. Offstage, mild-mannered.
	12:55pm chris in london: thanks Ken, thanks Bryce :0)
	♥ 12:56pm Polyus: Sleeper has been on my "need to remember to mailorder that" list for a while now. Obviously I keep forgetting.
	12:58pm Bryce: ps he stopped by m. blumin's, summer '16. spun a bunch of records he likes. capital bloke! wfmu.org...
	♥ 12:59pm coelacanth∅: (my other favorites are "bodymelt",which is a lot like this, & "creatures of cadence")
	12:59pm chris in london: I was feeling pretty bummed out packing my stuff in preparation for to moving form my huge lovely flat to somewhere smaller. This LP has lifted me up no end :0)
	♥ 1:00pm Rob (Jerzcity): G'dafternoon, Bryce, all
	♥ 1:00pm coelacanth∅: how did i miss that Blumin appearance?
	1:01pm KenW: Also freemusicarchive.org...
	♥ 1:01pm Rich in Washington: Daniel is a really reserved, down to earth guy when he's not on stage. He's very cool. I once watched a performance by him and two or three little kids during a street fair. The kids where going absolutely apeshit on guitar and bass. One kid was screaming into a microphone. I don't remember what Daniel ws doing. It was insane. Then they threw hundreds of super balls in the room, which went everywhere. After the set, I asked a sweat-drenched, exhausted Daniel if those were his kids and he said 'No! I WISH!'. They were students at the school where he worked. He talked them into doing a crazy performance. It was brilliant.
	♥ 1:04pm coelacanth∅: haha i Love that!
	1:05pm Chris from DC: @Polyus, "Sleeper" is great, so is the follow up "Slumber".
	1:07pm Bryce: rich, that's just the best. kenw, thanks! fma!!
	1:07pm Cheri Pi: After this can we hear something from the microwave, with lots of bloops?
	♥ 1:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Superball in a blender. Who's got that?
	1:10pm KenW: I also remember hearing him guest host another show on FMU, only for an hour, maybe vocal fry, for some reason I can't find it online,,,,??? But he played some of his favorite vocal pieces, AMAZING show!
	♥ 1:15pm Rich in Washington: I have a field recording somewhere of that street fair performance. I think i recall that it was way distorted, due to the extreme volume. It was done in a tiny gelato shop during a great noise experimental festival that used to occur in North Portland called No Fest.
	♥ 1:17pm Michael 98145: WHew: "Aural intensity is not a representation of confusion or the chaotic, but a concerted effort to provoke and stimulate the listener’s imagination by generating intensely powerful sounds and music." danielmenchebiography.blogspot.com
	♥ 1:18pm coelacanth∅: i remember hearing about nofest. it was a consideration when i was window shopping for a new home several years ago.
	♥ 1:19pm Rich in Washington: The first couple of years of No Fest were fantastic. Really a shambolic mess, in terms of lack of organization, scheduling, booking, but just amazing performances.
	1:21pm KenW: AHHHHH! Finally found it Do or DIY, great guest host for half hour segment called ACAPOCALYPSE!!!!!! wfmu.org...
	♥ 1:21pm Rich in Washington: I think the 'organizers' eventually managed to alienate every act in town and it eventually withered away. I think it's still happening, but it's nothing like it was when it started.
	1:21pm sphere: Embarker is killing me. Mesmerized.
	♥ 1:24pm Rich in Washington: I produced the live remote simulcast for KBOO in, I think 2010 and it was just a mess. The people coordinating the main stage and doing the sound didn't have a clue of what they were doing. It was a technical nightmare. So many great live acts, though.
	1:26pm KenW: Loving Embarker, WOW!!!!!
	1:27pm Chris from DC: Yeah, didn't know there was any recent Embarker material. This is great.
	♥ 1:38pm Michael 98145: fantastic set
	1:39pm △: We are in a generalized crisis in relation to all the environments of enclosure–prison, hospital, factory, school, family. The family is an “interior,” in crisis like all other interiors–scholarly, professional, etc. The administrations in charge never cease announcing supposedly necessary reforms: to reform schools, to reform industries, hospitals, the armed forces, prisons. But everyone knows that these institutions are finished, whatever the length of their expiration periods. It’s only a matter of administering their last rites and of keeping people employed until the installation of the new forces knocking at the door. These are the societies of control, which are in the process of replacing disciplinary societies. “Control” is the name Burroughs proposes as a term for the new monster, one that Foucault recognizes as our immediate future. Paul Virilio also is continually analyzing the ultrarapid forms of free-floating control that replaced the old disciplines operating in the time frame of a closed system. There is no need to invoke the extraordinary pharmaceutical productions, the molecular engineering, the genetic manipulations, although these are slated to enter the new process. There is no need to ask which is the toughest regime, for it’s within each of them that liberating and enslaving forces confront one another. For example, in the crisis of the hospital as environment of enclosure, neighborhood clinics, hospices, and day care could at first express new freedom, but they could participate as well in mechanisms of control that are equal to the harshest of confinements. There is no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons.
	1:40pm 89Prock: brice is not "my man" but damn does he play the music that Kosovo likes!!!! luv it!!!
	1:41pm skwirl: need final line for corpse
	♥ 1:45pm Devin B.: Sweet Tolkien jams
	♥ 1:45pm Michael 98145: ▼▲◀▶▲▼
	1:50pm Cecile: I'm making up my dream Eurovision program. It will feature Zombie Khatchaturian for Georgia, Enslaved for Norway, King Diamond for Denmark, and hockey players for the Czech Republic.
	1:51pm Cecile: I can't decide if I want to send a dog TV star fronting a Russian ska band or zombie Falco for Austria.
	♥ 1:52pm Polyus: Hey when are the two semifinals anyway?
	1:54pm Cecile: First week in May. I like Czech Republic, Armenia and Moldova this year. UK, Norway and Netherlands are terrible.
	1:54pm Cecile: For Cyprus I just am going have a Turkish act sing half of the song, and a Greek one sing the other half.
	♥ 1:55pm Polyus: I am way behind, have only watched about 10 entries.
	1:55pm Mister Dobalina: Roboman checking in for my weekly dose of roboMusic and more..
	1:56pm Cecile: I just watched the recap that Eurovision put out. I think Russia may be doing something batshit crazy this year, but I don't want to get my hopes up.
	♥ 1:57pm coelacanth∅: back to work - Thank you Bryce! tchau, aliens
	1:58pm Cecile: Interval act: Three former Euro=divas try to break a plate glass door with their voices. 2015 winner Mans Zmerlerlow reenacts all Eurovision clothing reveals. Verka Seduchka in Riverdance
	1:59pm Cecile: Here you go, Polyus: www.youtube.com...
	1:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: am witchu.
	2:01pm 89Prock: Sarcopterygii are so crazy!! @coelacanth.....do you work with them??? PS ;uv brycxe :))
	2:01pm Cecile: nd alzo witchu
	2:01pm 89Prock: ^ luv bryyce, that is!
	♥ 2:03pm Polyus: Oh cool, thanks. Much easier than having to plow through all of them.
	2:05pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'SPOIM!
	2:05pm Carmichael: Heya Bryce and peeps. State holiday today, so I ‘m kicking it in the man cave.
	2:05pm Cecile: Yeah. Some of them it is a slog. I will just wait until this time next year and save myself a headache.
	2:05pm Chris from DC: Cecile, anyone for Finland yet? That would be a hard choice.
	♥ 2:10pm Michael 98145: thanks for the link! @Cecile
	2:11pm Cecile: Yeah. They will probably land in the middle of the pack. I'm bummed about last year, their entry was so great and it didn't even make it to the finals.
	2:11pm Cecile: Saara Aalto
	2:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: As long as Denmark is in that team, I'll endorse it. #PostVacationGlow
	2:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also worth noting: I have no idea what I'm talking about.
	2:12pm Chris from DC: I'm thinking for the dream program Circle, or Demilitch, or something like that.
	♥ 2:13pm Polyus: pretty much time I go somewhere for vacation, I decide I want to move there.
	2:14pm Daniel Menche: Dang Bryce! Dank you for the Beast Resonator resurgence! A forgetting nugget even for myself!
	2:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Polyus: that is heart-breakingly so in this case.
	2:14pm Cecile: I was thinking Elakelalaiset or Korpiklaani, but Circle...
	2:16pm Cecile: For Azerbajian, I'm doing a cage match between Elnur and Samir and Aysel and Arash.
	2:16pm Bryce: :) hello!!
	♥ 2:17pm Polyus: @Rev - is that a spendy place to go? I was there for a couple of days over 20 years ago, but just passing through.
	2:17pm Cecile: The former created something amazingly deranged for their entry. I kind of love it in its awful way. www.youtube.com...
	2:18pm Chris from DC: I think I have the entry for Circle www.youtube.com...
	♥ 2:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: Do the continents of Asia or Africa have something similar to Eurovision?
	2:18pm Mister Dobalina: This track is really speaking to me.
	2:19pm Cecile: I don't think so, Ken.
	2:19pm Cecile: Chris, you convinced me. Circle!
	2:20pm Daniel Menche: Fun Fact! Yes I am still a elementary school librarian and yes I was a full on turbo juggling freak from 80-86. Now ya know!
	2:21pm Chris from DC: Yay
	♥ 2:21pm George of Troy: Hello, Bryce and crew!
	2:23pm Bryce: i wanna see a 5- or 7-ball one of these days, lol....
	2:23pm TDK60: Rich in WA: I saw you mentioned No Fest, ages ago. I went to one, in St. Johns. Fun. Too bad it no longer exists.
	♥ 2:25pm Rich in Washington: It still exists. It's just a pathetic shell of its former self, they tell me. I haven't gone for the last three or four years.
	♥ 2:25pm Scott Williams: I wish to hear this forever...
	2:25pm TDK60: Morning to ya, D.M. Still the rainy season in Rose town?
	♥ 2:25pm Rich in Washington: I think the last one I went to, 20 Foot Man tore up the main square. It was probably the pinnacle.
	2:27pm KenW: This GB Niagara Suite is GORGEOUS <3 <3
	2:27pm Bryce: i know, right? i think this is all.....one guy?? yellowfaithful.org
	♥ 2:30pm Michael 98145: does anyone else recall the group on the left coast that made big, fire-belching machines that destroyed themselves in violent ways ?
	♥ 2:31pm Scott Williams: thanks for linkee Brycee! oooh, Foom'll doo toooo
	2:31pm Mister Dobalina: I'm with Scott Williams on this one. Good stuff.
	2:31pm Chris from DC: Survival Research Labs
	2:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @Polyus: Spendy? I'd say yes. Due to the high tax/high benefit social structure, all stages of production of "stuff" just heaps on cost. That combined with the exchange rate being so wacky, prices seem enormous, but they're actually just big. But freakin' gorgeous place.
	2:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also: FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
	2:33pm TDK60: Yes, first heard about S.R.L. in a feature in Maximum Rock and Roll punk zine.
	2:33pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also-also: Cheers to Menche & Capt. Arrow...
	♥ 2:33pm Michael 98145: yes! thanks, @Chris. i couldn't remember that name
	2:33pm Linda Lee: Foom piece is so nice. not sure why.
	♥ 2:34pm Michael 98145: cuz it sounds backwards ? :)
	2:34pm Cecile: Wasn't Survival Research Labs Mark Pauline and co?
	2:35pm KenW: Brilliant show today Bryce> as always THAANKS!
	2:35pm 89Prock: @cecile: yes
	2:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: aye, cecile. They just had a gallery installation on the east coast with some of the classic machines, I think. apologies if that was covered already, been in & out..
	♥ 2:36pm Michael 98145: talk about fun ... www.srl.org...
	♥ 2:36pm Polyus: @Rev - we were just in London and Amsterdam a few weeks ago and yeah, the exchange rate is not good right now.
	2:37pm KenW: Yes Cecile, I also saw them live at a huge spectacle of a show in Queens around 1986? with FMUs own Fabio, INSANELY wonderful!!!!
	2:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: used to have some of the old performance films on VHS. Titles like "a bitter message of hopeless grief" or some similar happy chappy stuff..
	2:37pm 89Prock: SRL et all still available for private hire - banned from performances in San Fran(&etc) like in old days, unfortunately.....
	2:38pm TDK60: Never seen a video of an S.R.L. performance. I always thought it might be dangerous to be in the audience. But did anyone ever get hurt?
	♥ 2:39pm Rob (Jerzcity): @Daniel Menche - thanks for making good sounds! First time hearing your work. And thanks, Bryce for playing!
	2:40pm 89Prock: they used to give out pritective eye gear with the entrance charge to warehouse gigs in USA. But no bullet prooff vests :P
	2:40pm Linda Lee: @Michael98145 ~ .lla ta em ot sdrawkcab dnuos t'nseod eceip siht
	2:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: As I recall they would aim air-pulse cannons at the audience, so the idea was to be somewhat affronted, physically. Great old interview footage with Pauline in the RE/Search PRANKS video from a million years ago.
	♥ 2:40pm Michael 98145: @LL, :)
	2:41pm KenW: @TDK60, YES We had to duck and cover when the fluorescent light tubes were being launched, not the most accurate devices, LOL!!!!!!!!
	♥ 2:42pm Michael 98145: this has been one heck of a show, Bryce thanks again
	♥ 2:42pm Rob (Jerzcity): @Rev: Saw Black Dice a number of years ago - felt like they had some air pulse cannons, but I think they were just LOUD
	2:42pm Chris from DC: Wow, Foom. This is fantastic.
	♥ 2:43pm Granny Spicy Tuna: I was at an SRL show in 1989 getting blasted with some gawdawful machinery. I only lost my stuffed bunny, Pat.
	♥ 2:43pm Michael 98145: ¶_¶_¶¶¶¶¶¶
	2:46pm 89Prock: @KenW: any of the places they used to play still around? Zero of the ones from Califirnia are :(
	2:47pm 89Prock: (in NY, i mean)
	2:47pm Bryce: didn't SRL make a non-trivial part of chicago lose power during one show? or something vaguely like that.......?
	2:48pm KenW: 89 Prock, not sure. Bryce, yes, I remember hearing that. Saw this same tour with Fabio when it came through NYC, insane! www.youtube.com...
	2:50pm KenW: 89 Prock, they had to find an outdoor parking lot or event space that would allow them to blow stuff up, impossible to believe it could happen now, but that kind of insanity was allowed in 1980s NYC, hahahaha
	2:50pm TDK60: I like that: "a non-trivial part of Chicago" hehe.
	♥ 2:51pm Michael 98145: = the night i said no =
	2:52pm Linda Lee: @KenW ~ with room for ours as well. ;-)
	♥ 2:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: TIL orchestras are loud enough to cause hearing loss. www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 2:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Checks date of the news post I've been April-fooled. Hoo boy.
	2:54pm TDK60: I have hearing loss from live electric music. (Being in restaurant/bars is hard as all the chatter piles up on me.) Never thought about acoustic orchestras!
	2:55pm northguineahills: I love Tereault's work W/ Otomo. (and Marclay).
	2:55pm 89Prock: @Ken: yep, in Califirnia as well - used to be easy to find a place for that in SF. Now....100% impossible. Sad////
	2:55pm KenW: I believe the SRL Queens show took place in some part of the old World's Fair grounds, really wild, some machines just failed, some blew up when they were supposed to, some when they weren't supposed to. No soundtrack at the time, just the sound of these crazy scenarios of killer bots and severed pig/chicken heads, and mark Pauline and crew running around like maniacs. Priceless!
	2:56pm spodiodi: sf bit the dust
	2:57pm KenW: WOW Bryce, extra amazing outdo with Tetreault, phenomenal show today, THAAAAANKS!!!!!!!
	2:57pm Bryce: bye, all! thanks for being around and so nice. :)
	2:58pm Chris from DC: Great show.
	2:58pm TDK60: Bryce, I appreciate all the enticing sounds today, oh and the good penmanship too.
	2:59pm spodiodi: thanks for another nice show, Bryce
	3:00pm David in London: Really liking this Tom Recchion.
	3:00pm Mister Dobalina: Later Bryce... good stuff as always!
	3:01pm OfficerDowney: TICK TOCK....

Bryce: Playlist from March 30, 2018

I never miscue a record. I am punctual, well-prepared, and dislike clutter. Outgoing and helpful, I'm always appropriately dressed. I do not behave erratically and have excellent penmanship. My CD's never skip, and I am in good health. I like all the notes, in any order.

	♥ 12:49pm coelacanth∅: i've known a professional clown (female, so only 66% as creepy), a professional juggler, and an emt who was going to clown school. it happens.
	12:50pm sphere: bandcamp is the totally awesome. i can dash off and grab Brycemusik for my very own! so great.
	12:52pm chris in london: @ken w- i am having that revelation experience right now :0) I can't wait to check out more Mr Mench!
	12:52pm Mark Williams: hey I missed the beginning of this piece. Can you start over, Bryce?
	12:52pm sphere: *no i do not work for bandcamp at all not even a little bit. but my bandcamp nym is metawyrd.
	12:53pm Bryce: rich, that's so neat! was he doing noisy stuff? negativland actually makes sense. i know he really loves People Like Us....
	12:53pm sim: I am enthralled at what I've been hearing.Thank you.
	12:53pm KenW: @ Chris> YAY! There have been soooooooooooooo many revelations for me durning Bryce's sets, ENJOY!
	♥ 12:54pm coelacanth∅: i discovered Mr.Menche a few years ago while image searching "odradek". 6 albums have helped me sleep ever since then, but never heard "sleeper" until a few months ago when some folks on these here comment boards suggested it. it's my favorite for now.
	12:55pm TDK60: When I saw him, he had a table full of electronic stuff. He also had a long hollow tube hooked up; hummed into it and got massive vocal sounds like some big monster. His whole body vibrated. Offstage, mild-mannered.
	12:55pm chris in london: thanks Ken, thanks Bryce :0)
	♥ 12:56pm Polyus: Sleeper has been on my "need to remember to mailorder that" list for a while now. Obviously I keep forgetting.
	12:58pm Bryce: ps he stopped by m. blumin's, summer '16. spun a bunch of records he likes. capital bloke! wfmu.org...
	♥ 12:59pm coelacanth∅: (my other favorites are "bodymelt",which is a lot like this, & "creatures of cadence")
	12:59pm chris in london: I was feeling pretty bummed out packing my stuff in preparation for to moving form my huge lovely flat to somewhere smaller. This LP has lifted me up no end :0)
	♥ 1:00pm Rob (Jerzcity): G'dafternoon, Bryce, all
	♥ 1:00pm coelacanth∅: how did i miss that Blumin appearance?
	1:01pm KenW: Also freemusicarchive.org...
	♥ 1:01pm Rich in Washington: Daniel is a really reserved, down to earth guy when he's not on stage. He's very cool. I once watched a performance by him and two or three little kids during a street fair. The kids where going absolutely apeshit on guitar and bass. One kid was screaming into a microphone. I don't remember what Daniel ws doing. It was insane. Then they threw hundreds of super balls in the room, which went everywhere. After the set, I asked a sweat-drenched, exhausted Daniel if those were his kids and he said 'No! I WISH!'. They were students at the school where he worked. He talked them into doing a crazy performance. It was brilliant.
	♥ 1:04pm coelacanth∅: haha i Love that!
	1:05pm Chris from DC: @Polyus, "Sleeper" is great, so is the follow up "Slumber".
	1:07pm Bryce: rich, that's just the best. kenw, thanks! fma!!
	1:07pm Cheri Pi: After this can we hear something from the microwave, with lots of bloops?
	♥ 1:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Superball in a blender. Who's got that?
	1:10pm KenW: I also remember hearing him guest host another show on FMU, only for an hour, maybe vocal fry, for some reason I can't find it online,,,,??? But he played some of his favorite vocal pieces, AMAZING show!
	♥ 1:15pm Rich in Washington: I have a field recording somewhere of that street fair performance. I think i recall that it was way distorted, due to the extreme volume. It was done in a tiny gelato shop during a great noise experimental festival that used to occur in North Portland called No Fest.
	♥ 1:17pm Michael 98145: WHew: "Aural intensity is not a representation of confusion or the chaotic, but a concerted effort to provoke and stimulate the listener’s imagination by generating intensely powerful sounds and music." danielmenchebiography.blogspot.com
	♥ 1:18pm coelacanth∅: i remember hearing about nofest. it was a consideration when i was window shopping for a new home several years ago.
	♥ 1:19pm Rich in Washington: The first couple of years of No Fest were fantastic. Really a shambolic mess, in terms of lack of organization, scheduling, booking, but just amazing performances.
	1:21pm KenW: AHHHHH! Finally found it Do or DIY, great guest host for half hour segment called ACAPOCALYPSE!!!!!! wfmu.org...
	♥ 1:21pm Rich in Washington: I think the 'organizers' eventually managed to alienate every act in town and it eventually withered away. I think it's still happening, but it's nothing like it was when it started.
	1:21pm sphere: Embarker is killing me. Mesmerized.
	♥ 1:24pm Rich in Washington: I produced the live remote simulcast for KBOO in, I think 2010 and it was just a mess. The people coordinating the main stage and doing the sound didn't have a clue of what they were doing. It was a technical nightmare. So many great live acts, though.
	1:26pm KenW: Loving Embarker, WOW!!!!!
	1:27pm Chris from DC: Yeah, didn't know there was any recent Embarker material. This is great.
	♥ 1:38pm Michael 98145: fantastic set
	1:39pm △: We are in a generalized crisis in relation to all the environments of enclosure–prison, hospital, factory, school, family. The family is an “interior,” in crisis like all other interiors–scholarly, professional, etc. The administrations in charge never cease announcing supposedly necessary reforms: to reform schools, to reform industries, hospitals, the armed forces, prisons. But everyone knows that these institutions are finished, whatever the length of their expiration periods. It’s only a matter of administering their last rites and of keeping people employed until the installation of the new forces knocking at the door. These are the societies of control, which are in the process of replacing disciplinary societies. “Control” is the name Burroughs proposes as a term for the new monster, one that Foucault recognizes as our immediate future. Paul Virilio also is continually analyzing the ultrarapid forms of free-floating control that replaced the old disciplines operating in the time frame of a closed system. There is no need to invoke the extraordinary pharmaceutical productions, the molecular engineering, the genetic manipulations, although these are slated to enter the new process. There is no need to ask which is the toughest regime, for it’s within each of them that liberating and enslaving forces confront one another. For example, in the crisis of the hospital as environment of enclosure, neighborhood clinics, hospices, and day care could at first express new freedom, but they could participate as well in mechanisms of control that are equal to the harshest of confinements. There is no need to fear or hope, but only to look for new weapons.
	1:40pm 89Prock: brice is not "my man" but damn does he play the music that Kosovo likes!!!! luv it!!!
	1:41pm skwirl: need final line for corpse
	♥ 1:45pm Devin B.: Sweet Tolkien jams
	♥ 1:45pm Michael 98145: ▼▲◀▶▲▼
	1:50pm Cecile: I'm making up my dream Eurovision program. It will feature Zombie Khatchaturian for Georgia, Enslaved for Norway, King Diamond for Denmark, and hockey players for the Czech Republic.
	1:51pm Cecile: I can't decide if I want to send a dog TV star fronting a Russian ska band or zombie Falco for Austria.
	♥ 1:52pm Polyus: Hey when are the two semifinals anyway?
	1:54pm Cecile: First week in May. I like Czech Republic, Armenia and Moldova this year. UK, Norway and Netherlands are terrible.
	1:54pm Cecile: For Cyprus I just am going have a Turkish act sing half of the song, and a Greek one sing the other half.
	♥ 1:55pm Polyus: I am way behind, have only watched about 10 entries.
	1:55pm Mister Dobalina: Roboman checking in for my weekly dose of roboMusic and more..
	1:56pm Cecile: I just watched the recap that Eurovision put out. I think Russia may be doing something batshit crazy this year, but I don't want to get my hopes up.
	♥ 1:57pm coelacanth∅: back to work - Thank you Bryce! tchau, aliens
	1:58pm Cecile: Interval act: Three former Euro=divas try to break a plate glass door with their voices. 2015 winner Mans Zmerlerlow reenacts all Eurovision clothing reveals. Verka Seduchka in Riverdance
	1:59pm Cecile: Here you go, Polyus: www.youtube.com...
	1:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: am witchu.
	2:01pm 89Prock: Sarcopterygii are so crazy!! @coelacanth.....do you work with them??? PS ;uv brycxe :))
	2:01pm Cecile: nd alzo witchu
	2:01pm 89Prock: ^ luv bryyce, that is!
	♥ 2:03pm Polyus: Oh cool, thanks. Much easier than having to plow through all of them.
	2:05pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'SPOIM!
	2:05pm Carmichael: Heya Bryce and peeps. State holiday today, so I ‘m kicking it in the man cave.
	2:05pm Cecile: Yeah. Some of them it is a slog. I will just wait until this time next year and save myself a headache.
	2:05pm Chris from DC: Cecile, anyone for Finland yet? That would be a hard choice.
	♥ 2:10pm Michael 98145: thanks for the link! @Cecile
	2:11pm Cecile: Yeah. They will probably land in the middle of the pack. I'm bummed about last year, their entry was so great and it didn't even make it to the finals.
	2:11pm Cecile: Saara Aalto
	2:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: As long as Denmark is in that team, I'll endorse it. #PostVacationGlow
	2:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also worth noting: I have no idea what I'm talking about.
	2:12pm Chris from DC: I'm thinking for the dream program Circle, or Demilitch, or something like that.
	♥ 2:13pm Polyus: pretty much time I go somewhere for vacation, I decide I want to move there.
	2:14pm Daniel Menche: Dang Bryce! Dank you for the Beast Resonator resurgence! A forgetting nugget even for myself!
	2:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Polyus: that is heart-breakingly so in this case.
	2:14pm Cecile: I was thinking Elakelalaiset or Korpiklaani, but Circle...
	2:16pm Cecile: For Azerbajian, I'm doing a cage match between Elnur and Samir and Aysel and Arash.
	2:16pm Bryce: :) hello!!
	♥ 2:17pm Polyus: @Rev - is that a spendy place to go? I was there for a couple of days over 20 years ago, but just passing through.
	2:17pm Cecile: The former created something amazingly deranged for their entry. I kind of love it in its awful way. www.youtube.com...
	2:18pm Chris from DC: I think I have the entry for Circle www.youtube.com...
	♥ 2:18pm Ken From Hyde Park: Do the continents of Asia or Africa have something similar to Eurovision?
	2:18pm Mister Dobalina: This track is really speaking to me.
	2:19pm Cecile: I don't think so, Ken.
	2:19pm Cecile: Chris, you convinced me. Circle!
	2:20pm Daniel Menche: Fun Fact! Yes I am still a elementary school librarian and yes I was a full on turbo juggling freak from 80-86. Now ya know!
	2:21pm Chris from DC: Yay
	♥ 2:21pm George of Troy: Hello, Bryce and crew!
	2:23pm Bryce: i wanna see a 5- or 7-ball one of these days, lol....
	2:23pm TDK60: Rich in WA: I saw you mentioned No Fest, ages ago. I went to one, in St. Johns. Fun. Too bad it no longer exists.
	♥ 2:25pm Rich in Washington: It still exists. It's just a pathetic shell of its former self, they tell me. I haven't gone for the last three or four years.
	♥ 2:25pm Scott Williams: I wish to hear this forever...
	2:25pm TDK60: Morning to ya, D.M. Still the rainy season in Rose town?
	♥ 2:25pm Rich in Washington: I think the last one I went to, 20 Foot Man tore up the main square. It was probably the pinnacle.
	2:27pm KenW: This GB Niagara Suite is GORGEOUS <3 <3
	2:27pm Bryce: i know, right? i think this is all.....one guy?? yellowfaithful.org
	♥ 2:30pm Michael 98145: does anyone else recall the group on the left coast that made big, fire-belching machines that destroyed themselves in violent ways ?
	♥ 2:31pm Scott Williams: thanks for linkee Brycee! oooh, Foom'll doo toooo
	2:31pm Mister Dobalina: I'm with Scott Williams on this one. Good stuff.
	2:31pm Chris from DC: Survival Research Labs
	2:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @Polyus: Spendy? I'd say yes. Due to the high tax/high benefit social structure, all stages of production of "stuff" just heaps on cost. That combined with the exchange rate being so wacky, prices seem enormous, but they're actually just big. But freakin' gorgeous place.
	2:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also: FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
	2:33pm TDK60: Yes, first heard about S.R.L. in a feature in Maximum Rock and Roll punk zine.
	2:33pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also-also: Cheers to Menche & Capt. Arrow...
	♥ 2:33pm Michael 98145: yes! thanks, @Chris. i couldn't remember that name
	2:33pm Linda Lee: Foom piece is so nice. not sure why.
	♥ 2:34pm Michael 98145: cuz it sounds backwards ? :)
	2:34pm Cecile: Wasn't Survival Research Labs Mark Pauline and co?
	2:35pm KenW: Brilliant show today Bryce> as always THAANKS!
	2:35pm 89Prock: @cecile: yes
	2:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: aye, cecile. They just had a gallery installation on the east coast with some of the classic machines, I think. apologies if that was covered already, been in & out..
	♥ 2:36pm Michael 98145: talk about fun ... www.srl.org...
	♥ 2:36pm Polyus: @Rev - we were just in London and Amsterdam a few weeks ago and yeah, the exchange rate is not good right now.
	2:37pm KenW: Yes Cecile, I also saw them live at a huge spectacle of a show in Queens around 1986? with FMUs own Fabio, INSANELY wonderful!!!!
	2:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: used to have some of the old performance films on VHS. Titles like "a bitter message of hopeless grief" or some similar happy chappy stuff..
	2:37pm 89Prock: SRL et all still available for private hire - banned from performances in San Fran(&etc) like in old days, unfortunately.....
	2:38pm TDK60: Never seen a video of an S.R.L. performance. I always thought it might be dangerous to be in the audience. But did anyone ever get hurt?
	♥ 2:39pm Rob (Jerzcity): @Daniel Menche - thanks for making good sounds! First time hearing your work. And thanks, Bryce for playing!
	2:40pm 89Prock: they used to give out pritective eye gear with the entrance charge to warehouse gigs in USA. But no bullet prooff vests :P
	2:40pm Linda Lee: @Michael98145 ~ .lla ta em ot sdrawkcab dnuos t'nseod eceip siht
	2:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: As I recall they would aim air-pulse cannons at the audience, so the idea was to be somewhat affronted, physically. Great old interview footage with Pauline in the RE/Search PRANKS video from a million years ago.
	♥ 2:40pm Michael 98145: @LL, :)
	2:41pm KenW: @TDK60, YES We had to duck and cover when the fluorescent light tubes were being launched, not the most accurate devices, LOL!!!!!!!!
	♥ 2:42pm Michael 98145: this has been one heck of a show, Bryce thanks again
	♥ 2:42pm Rob (Jerzcity): @Rev: Saw Black Dice a number of years ago - felt like they had some air pulse cannons, but I think they were just LOUD
	2:42pm Chris from DC: Wow, Foom. This is fantastic.
	♥ 2:43pm Granny Spicy Tuna: I was at an SRL show in 1989 getting blasted with some gawdawful machinery. I only lost my stuffed bunny, Pat.
	♥ 2:43pm Michael 98145: ¶_¶_¶¶¶¶¶¶
	2:46pm 89Prock: @KenW: any of the places they used to play still around? Zero of the ones from Califirnia are :(
	2:47pm 89Prock: (in NY, i mean)
	2:47pm Bryce: didn't SRL make a non-trivial part of chicago lose power during one show? or something vaguely like that.......?
	2:48pm KenW: 89 Prock, not sure. Bryce, yes, I remember hearing that. Saw this same tour with Fabio when it came through NYC, insane! www.youtube.com...
	2:50pm KenW: 89 Prock, they had to find an outdoor parking lot or event space that would allow them to blow stuff up, impossible to believe it could happen now, but that kind of insanity was allowed in 1980s NYC, hahahaha
	2:50pm TDK60: I like that: "a non-trivial part of Chicago" hehe.
	♥ 2:51pm Michael 98145: = the night i said no =
	2:52pm Linda Lee: @KenW ~ with room for ours as well. ;-)
	♥ 2:52pm Ken From Hyde Park: TIL orchestras are loud enough to cause hearing loss. www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 2:53pm Ken From Hyde Park: Checks date of the news post I've been April-fooled. Hoo boy.
	2:54pm TDK60: I have hearing loss from live electric music. (Being in restaurant/bars is hard as all the chatter piles up on me.) Never thought about acoustic orchestras!
	2:55pm northguineahills: I love Tereault's work W/ Otomo. (and Marclay).
	2:55pm 89Prock: @Ken: yep, in Califirnia as well - used to be easy to find a place for that in SF. Now....100% impossible. Sad////
	2:55pm KenW: I believe the SRL Queens show took place in some part of the old World's Fair grounds, really wild, some machines just failed, some blew up when they were supposed to, some when they weren't supposed to. No soundtrack at the time, just the sound of these crazy scenarios of killer bots and severed pig/chicken heads, and mark Pauline and crew running around like maniacs. Priceless!
	2:56pm spodiodi: sf bit the dust
	2:57pm KenW: WOW Bryce, extra amazing outdo with Tetreault, phenomenal show today, THAAAAANKS!!!!!!!
	2:57pm Bryce: bye, all! thanks for being around and so nice. :)
	2:58pm Chris from DC: Great show.
	2:58pm TDK60: Bryce, I appreciate all the enticing sounds today, oh and the good penmanship too.
	2:59pm spodiodi: thanks for another nice show, Bryce
	3:00pm David in London: Really liking this Tom Recchion.
	3:00pm Mister Dobalina: Later Bryce... good stuff as always!
	3:01pm OfficerDowney: TICK TOCK....
