	♥ 12:32am mariano: TomDash: I really hope MDC does an update of "Bye Bye Ronnie," remember that one? "Donnie! Donnie goes to jail! Melania hocks her furs for bail!"
	12:32am Dawn the Librarian: Loving this song now- reminds me of Dorothy Ashby :)
	♥ 12:32am northguineahills: I was in my ninja gear (my black hoodie and black mask) and rounded the hallway in my hotel, and a large African-American man came up the stairs and was startled by me, and went into a karate stance. I laughed, he and his gf started to laugh. And we talked about how silly it was, and how it was good to laugh again.....
	♥ 12:33am ultradamno: I think DOA did a Fucked Up Donnie
	♥ 12:33am mariano: Oh Jesus, Aitch, what an avatar, HAH!
	♥ 12:33am northguineahills: Dawn was correct w/ Dezron Douglas and Brandee Younder...
	♥ 12:34am ultradamno: No, for some reason they did it as Fucked Up Donald...
	♥ 12:34am Aitch: Rudimentary photochop / Donald v Preacher, couldn't help myself
	♥ 12:35am ultradamno: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 12:35am ultradamno: Average red cap twitter.com...
	♥ 12:36am northguineahills: Was this Pyramids actually from 2016? didn't know they were still around....
	♥ 12:37am TomDash: Hey there Dawn, glad you're digging...gonna take a little left turn to 70s pure rock'n'roll momentarily...
	12:38am headcleaner: you're doing good, tom
	♥ 12:41am mariano: "You knew about Iran all along, now you're trying to tell us you're just senile?!" Forgot how much I love the lyrics to that one... Some great anti-Reagan lyrics back in the day. Suicidal Tendencies, the Crucifucks... That's great, ultradamno, didn't know DOA did a song that recently. Love that clip too. Here's another future Patriot Party member: drive.google.com... Good one, ngh!
	♥ 12:42am ultradamno: OH NO! They got Chaka! I thought he was more on the ball than that!
	♥ 12:44am Richy4619: the Crucifucks!! my first (and all-time) fave punk band
	♥ 12:46am Aitch: The Never Mind the Jellybeans comp was a gateway drug for west-coast punk for many a young aussie
	♥ 12:47am Aitch: Let Them Eat Jellybeans I meant..
	♥ 12:48am TomDash: gateway drug for many a suburban American too Aitch!
	♥ 12:49am Aitch: I like to play the Feederz track at Xmas
	♥ 12:50am ultradamno: It's a good one for Easter too
	♥ 12:50am mariano: Word, TomDash. DKs were a real lifeline when I was stuck in the ass end of the Bible Belt in the 80s. Good to know they were fucking things up down under too, Aitch.
	♥ 12:50am Aitch: Not that there's anything wrong with that
	♥ 12:56am mariano: Nothing wrong indeed, Aitch. DKs, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, MDC, etc... the only reason I got out of there with any vestige of sanity. Oh hey, speaking of Oz, are the Hardons still around? I discovered them by chance when I filled in a few nights at my college station in the 80s, became an immediate fan.
	♥ 12:58am ultradamno: Kitten and Noah were just talking about Kiss opening for the Dolls on Wired Up! on Sat.
	♥ 1:00am TomDash: ultrad - yes! I've heard they played together, along with BOC, Dictators...oh wait...
	♥ 1:02am ultradamno: Not to mention this killer double bill i.pinimg.com...
	♥ 1:03am Aitch: I think they're alive mariano, haven't noticed them playing anytime lately though. Wild live band.
	♥ 1:06am mariano: I so wish I could've caught them live, Aitch.
	1:07am Dean: Saw 'em at the Whisky '77 or '78. A trip.
	1:08am Dean: Borneo Jimmy is Richard Meltzer, no? I took him out to dinner shortly after he moved to Portland.
	♥ 1:08am TomDash: nice Dean!
	1:10am Dean: Buddy notified me a week or two ago that Handsome Dick is selling off the paraphernalia from his restaurant in NYC, which is closing.
	♥ 1:11am Mr. Pumpy: The Hard-ons...Dickcheese! The Stupids, that's another great skate-punk band that comes to mind when I think of them. OKAY...just passed by the 'puter on the way to bed again. Everyone go get fucked in the best possible way! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 1:11am mariano: Didn't hear about the Dolls till the 80s, found out about them thanks to "Night Flight" on USA Network, another lifeline in the cultural wasteland. That's how I first saw "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains" and "Another State of Mind" along with videos and footage of tons of bands I'd have never heard of otherwise. Aha, Mr. Pumpy -- I knew you'd come crawling back!
	♥ 1:11am ultradamno: Aliases Mr. Vom, Richard Meltzer 😆 www.discogs.com...
	1:12am rw: Cowbell
	1:12am Agent Peter: Night Flight was great. The good ol' days of the USA network
	1:13am Dean: Yup. Richard gave me a signed Vom/Smegma/Pollard CD. I spent some quality time with the man.
	1:13am rw: Hi
	♥ 1:13am ultradamno: I heard about the Dolls at Marsh Supermarket. Literally, cutouts of that first album were everywhere back then
	♥ 1:13am Mr. Pumpy: mariano, for the record...I skipped down the hallway. No crawl.
	♥ 1:13am TomDash: Dean - Manitoba's Bar - interesting. Has a lot of cool b&w pics on the walls...and some old show posters. Any time I booked a touring band for shows in the city they wanted to go to Manitoba's...
	♥ 1:13am mariano: Then there's the Berlin Brats and their cameo in "Up in Smoke."
	♥ 1:13am TomDash: hey rw - the cowbell welcomes you...
	♥ 1:14am Aitch: Can't be sad if there's cowbell
	♥ 1:14am TomDash: Hollywood Brats moved to London and became The Boys, first wave punk...
	♥ 1:14am ultradamno: There are some great Vom clips playing on a beach on You Tube, very proto Samoans
	1:14am Dean: Those first two Boys albums...whew!
	♥ 1:15am TomDash: moved from Zurich to London...
	♥ 1:17am TomDash: more cowbell...
	♥ 1:18am ultradamno: The cassette of The Boys first album I bought cutout at a mall in Anderson IN while in high school twitter.com...
	♥ 1:19am ultradamno: I think I got my Go Girl Crazy there too. twitter.com...
	♥ 1:21am ultradamno: Hollywood Brats, originally called The Queen but changed it because of some loser band called something similar.
	♥ 1:21am mariano: You've got a museum's worth of music stuff, ultradamno.
	♥ 1:26am mariano: Jesus, Yakutsk is Siberia, isn't it? Way over on the Pacific side.
	♥ 1:27am ultradamno: Crispy Ambulance fans? Not enough Crispy bands out there
	1:27am Dean: Didn't realize until yesterday that Baltimore's Triac covered Bauhaus's "Double Dare" back in '05. Damn fine.
	♥ 1:28am TomDash: yes - I hear there is a very cool Siberia scene actually - going back to 80s post-punk I believe - makes sense, must investigate more...
	♥ 1:28am Mike W: Crispy Ambulance fan
	♥ 1:31am mariano: TomDash: Daniel Blumin played some pretty amazing Belarussian and other Eastern-European punk/hardcore back in summer sometime.
	♥ 1:31am TomDash: yes mariano - I recall that show! Will have to give another listen...
	♥ 1:32am ultradamno: We talking about this one? It was a good 'un www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 1:33am mariano: I thought it was more recently, ultradamno, though of course I could be wrong. Thought it was during the lockdown.
	♥ 1:33am Aitch: I want your soul
	♥ 1:34am ultradamno: He hasn't been on air since September, according to the playlist page, so...
	♥ 1:34am ultradamno: maybe, I guess.
	♥ 1:38am Mike W: YES
	♥ 1:38am Mike W: loud fast rules!
	♥ 1:38am mariano: Yeah, I think it was summer, but I could be wrong.
	♥ 1:39am TomDash: faster louder!
	♥ 1:39am mariano: At my age, I find myself thinking that stuff that happened a decade ago was only a couple of years ago, lol.
	♥ 1:39am ultradamno: Just seems so much longer ago.
	1:47am NikiA: @Mariano I'm already there and I'm 34. Hi everyone. HAPPY inauguration eve.
	♥ 1:48am mariano: Ooh, I remember! It was when all the protests were going on in Belarus, so sometime after late May. Booyah! Old man's still got it, nyuck nyuck nyuck. Hey NikiA!
	♥ 1:50am ultradamno: Maybe this one www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 1:50am TomDash: hey hey NikiA - welcome to the mayhem!
	♥ 1:54am TomDash: where are all my punk rock lurkers??? haha...
	♥ 1:54am mariano: Yep, that's the one, ultrad. TomDash: They're on smoko!
	♥ 1:54am Aitch: Going off Tom
	♥ 1:55am ultradamno: Everytime I see the name Cheap Nasties I think of the fictional band on Vinyl, The Nasty Bits which makes me think of how the show blamed the Dolls for the collapse of Mercer Arts (the building couldn't withstand Thunders' power chords)
	♥ 1:56am mariano: DC Snipers: now there's a proper punk band name.
	♥ 1:57am ultradamno: And The Nasty Bits singer was Mick Jagger's son and he has sex with Juno Temple, the daughter of Sex Pistols documentarian Julian Temple, I think that's all correct.
	♥ 1:58am TomDash: ha! ultrad - have you seen the Fran Lebowitz/Scorsese series? She used to see the Dolls all the time and they mention the year the Mercer Arts Center collapsed, THREE buildings just collapsed in the city...cause that just happened in the 70s...
	1:59am NikiA: random question, but this is the crowd who would know. does anyone know if Ramapo College's WRPR station still exists? and if not, why not?
	♥ 2:00am ultradamno: I have not, but I did see the clip with that music though. She kind of bugs me, maybe it's from seeing her play nice with Bill Maher.
	♥ 2:01am mariano: Some recent-ish building collapses/explosions though: Body Elite gym in Carroll Gardens (I used to go there, it's my old hood), then that building in the E. Village that blew up because the owners had messed with the gas lines.
	♥ 2:02am ultradamno: Yeah, I don't think the building was actually in use at the time. There was an article literally just about the factual accuracy of that scene online at the time
	♥ 2:03am ultradamno: Sheesh, there's a few...I think I was thinking of this one www.vulture.com...
	♥ 2:05am TomDash: mariano - I was walking my dog about 8-10 blocks away from the Carroll Gardens bldg pretty much when it happened and was wondering why all these cops were blocking off streets...ultrad - I HIGHLY recommend the Lebowitz series (speaking as a New Yorker and someone who has never watched Bill Maher)
	♥ 2:10am coelacanth∅: this sounds like "another day" by the cure
	♥ 2:11am coelacanth∅: (okay now it doesn't...though clearly influenced by the cure's first album)
	♥ 2:11am mariano: Yeah, Tom, buddy of mine who's a contractor, born and raised in CG, said that it had been waiting to happen for years, people had warned the owner several times over the years, on top of the various code violations he got. Apparently he didn't get jack out of the insurance either. Good. He could've killed someone, miracle nobody was hurt. I miss that area, I was there for 13 years.
	♥ 2:12am TomDash: interesting coel...NOW I hear it!
	♥ 2:13am ultradamno: Actually I was hearing something that got played when Creamo was have tech issues earlier today that sounded like a direct lift of Boys Don't Cry. Michele's doing maybe?
	♥ 2:13am ultradamno: Maybe from that Australian comp.
	♥ 2:14am TomDash: Oh yeah mariano - sounded so shady for sure. You were there for 13 years? I moved to Smith & Baltic around 1997/98 - moved to Pacific Street around 2007...and that's where I am to this day...
	♥ 2:16am mariano: Yep, I remember, Tom -- I think it was 2010 that I bought some Imaginary Icons albums from you at your front door, lol. I was on Hoyt and 1st, right on the corner, the ground-floor apartment that used to be a candy store. Moved there in 2001. Hey Ignatatus! Out on the road?
	♥ 2:16am TomDash: hey there ignatatus...welcome to the "weird"(?) part of the show!
	2:17am glennfromglendale: Ahoy friends. Glad i got here for the weird part of the show
	♥ 2:19am TomDash: welcome glennfromglendale! mariano - you bought an Icons record from me at my house??? wow!!!
	♥ 2:23am ultradamno: Steve Bannon has been pardoned
	♥ 2:23am mariano: Yeah, Tom! I heard "Lucifer Rise" on Liz Berg's show and I emailed her saying "Tell me everything you know about these guys!" and she gave me your email, I got in touch to ask about the record, you said to stop by to pick one up. I was in a cab on my way to a freelance gig in the city so I was in kind of a rush, but I bought the record and you threw in some other stuff, some 45s, plus the EP had hand-illustrated art. "Lucifer Rise" was my theme song for that year.
	♥ 2:24am mariano: Oh no, sorry to hear about your dog, ignatatus.
	2:27am rw: Hate to leave but it's time for me. Thanks again TD! Loving this set especially. Take care everyone.
	♥ 2:28am TomDash: wow mariano - that's great! Yes, my memory is terrible but I kinda sorta remember this - wild!
	♥ 2:28am TomDash: thanks as always rw - always good to hang!
	♥ 2:30am mariano: *Not that Liz was just carelessly handing out your contact info, we'd known each other through FMU for a few years so she knew I wasn't gonna steal your identity or anything ;) She said you're a really nice guy, and had (have?) that wine shop in the area, etc. 'Night, rw!
	♥ 2:32am ultradamno: Is the eXistenZproblem the part where that port on Jude Law's back port gets infected because the biogame module thing is sick?
	♥ 2:33am coelacanth∅: 'night rw
	2:33am VincentNifigance: @TomDash Wonderful stuff as always, Tom.
	♥ 2:33am TomDash: close...what a weird movie...
	♥ 2:34am TomDash: hey there @VincentNigigance - thanks! and thanks, as always for dropping in!
	♥ 2:34am mariano: My two songs that year were "Lucifer Rise" and "Lupine Dominus" by Thee Oh Sees or however they were writing it back then. Huh, I see that was 2012, maybe my memory's playing tricks on me, thought it was 2010 or '11.
	2:39am NikiA: Tom, Mariano, this is a wild story I feel like I'm watching a movie
	♥ 2:41am ultradamno: He better not pardon Stephen Miller, there's talk of potential charges for that whole children in cages...nightmare. I feel like we need that to happen.
	♥ 2:45am mariano: NikiA: Just another day in the thrill-a-minute life of me ;)
	♥ 2:46am ultradamno: They've been accelerating the number of executions leading up to now, which is awful, but revealed Chris Hayes' lack of mastery at pronouncing Terre Haute, which is kind of a delight.
	♥ 2:48am mariano: You know what'd be really wild is if it was ignatatus driving the cab I took that day, lol. Actually, I found out that @David (in London) knows an ex gf of mine because he was the best man at her wedding years earlier when she was married to this English guy who happened to be David's best friend.
	♥ 2:48am ultradamno: Unless Trump is just tired of pardoning, which is possible, he's meted out over 70
	♥ 2:48am TomDash: the federal executions is the most under-reported tragedy - FUCK Barr always and forever - the worst Attorney General ever - no 11 and 1/2 hour pass scolding the president...
	2:49am NikiA: well Mariano your story about picking up albums from someone's stoop inspired me to buy a cd player online. I want to build my physical cd collection back up again. so you inspired me today!
	♥ 2:50am mariano: At your service, NikiA!
	2:52am glennfromglendale: Jesus Christ, he pardoned Kodak Black. Besides being arrested for illegal weapons possession MULTIPLE times, he's a violent racist to boot. Awful
	♥ 2:53am ultradamno: Are they still just winging it on lethal compounds for these executions? I know Trump wants to go back to firing squads (no, he said this) which he might rethink if he finds out that's what has traditionally been done to traitors.
	2:53am glennfromglendale: Violent rapist*
	♥ 2:54am mariano: Possible (very thin) silver lining is that anybody associated with the Trump administration is gonna have a hell of a time finding work in both the public and private sector. I read something a while back about how no law firms or corporations want anything to do with any of those people.
	♥ 2:54am ultradamno: Yeah, he likes military men who commit atrocities quite a bit too.
	♥ 2:56am coelacanth∅: ultra @253 i believe execution is still provided for for convicted traitors.
	♥ 2:56am coelacanth∅: (but sadly he wont be convicted)
	♥ 2:57am mariano: Trump also asked about nuking hurricanes, the very stable genius. Thank you TomDash, always a grand slam! Thanks as always to the Crew, have a good night/day everyone!
	♥ 2:58am TomDash: ok folks, wrapping up here...thanks so much for tuning in as always!
	♥ 2:58am ultradamno: What he's done is much worse than what the Rosenbergs did
	♥ 2:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Tom! Thanks skelecrew good night all
	2:58am NikiA: wow thank you ignatatus. I will check them out.
	♥ 2:59am Aitch: cool show, thanks Tom. Good luck for today americans
	♥ 3:00am TomDash: thanks for hanging y'all - ciao for now! And a new beginning (fingers crossed!)

	12:32am Dawn the Librarian: Loving this song now- reminds me of Dorothy Ashby :)
	♥ 12:32am northguineahills: I was in my ninja gear (my black hoodie and black mask) and rounded the hallway in my hotel, and a large African-American man came up the stairs and was startled by me, and went into a karate stance. I laughed, he and his gf started to laugh. And we talked about how silly it was, and how it was good to laugh again.....
	♥ 12:33am ultradamno: I think DOA did a Fucked Up Donnie
	♥ 12:33am mariano: Oh Jesus, Aitch, what an avatar, HAH!
	♥ 12:33am northguineahills: Dawn was correct w/ Dezron Douglas and Brandee Younder...

	♥ 12:35am ultradamno: www.discogs.com...
	♥ 12:35am ultradamno: Average red cap twitter.com...

	♥ 12:37am TomDash: Hey there Dawn, glad you're digging...gonna take a little left turn to 70s pure rock'n'roll momentarily...
	12:38am headcleaner: you're doing good, tom
	♥ 12:41am mariano: "You knew about Iran all along, now you're trying to tell us you're just senile?!" Forgot how much I love the lyrics to that one... Some great anti-Reagan lyrics back in the day. Suicidal Tendencies, the Crucifucks... That's great, ultradamno, didn't know DOA did a song that recently. Love that clip too. Here's another future Patriot Party member: drive.google.com... Good one, ngh!
	♥ 12:42am ultradamno: OH NO! They got Chaka! I thought he was more on the ball than that!
	♥ 12:44am Richy4619: the Crucifucks!! my first (and all-time) fave punk band
	♥ 12:46am Aitch: The Never Mind the Jellybeans comp was a gateway drug for west-coast punk for many a young aussie
	♥ 12:47am Aitch: Let Them Eat Jellybeans I meant..
	♥ 12:48am TomDash: gateway drug for many a suburban American too Aitch!
	♥ 12:49am Aitch: I like to play the Feederz track at Xmas
	♥ 12:50am ultradamno: It's a good one for Easter too
	♥ 12:50am mariano: Word, TomDash. DKs were a real lifeline when I was stuck in the ass end of the Bible Belt in the 80s. Good to know they were fucking things up down under too, Aitch.
	♥ 12:50am Aitch: Not that there's anything wrong with that
	♥ 12:56am mariano: Nothing wrong indeed, Aitch. DKs, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, MDC, etc... the only reason I got out of there with any vestige of sanity. Oh hey, speaking of Oz, are the Hardons still around? I discovered them by chance when I filled in a few nights at my college station in the 80s, became an immediate fan.
	♥ 12:58am ultradamno: Kitten and Noah were just talking about Kiss opening for the Dolls on Wired Up! on Sat.
	♥ 1:00am TomDash: ultrad - yes! I've heard they played together, along with BOC, Dictators...oh wait...
	♥ 1:02am ultradamno: Not to mention this killer double bill i.pinimg.com...
	♥ 1:03am Aitch: I think they're alive mariano, haven't noticed them playing anytime lately though. Wild live band.
	♥ 1:06am mariano: I so wish I could've caught them live, Aitch.
	1:07am Dean: Saw 'em at the Whisky '77 or '78. A trip.
	1:08am Dean: Borneo Jimmy is Richard Meltzer, no? I took him out to dinner shortly after he moved to Portland.
	♥ 1:08am TomDash: nice Dean!
	1:10am Dean: Buddy notified me a week or two ago that Handsome Dick is selling off the paraphernalia from his restaurant in NYC, which is closing.
	♥ 1:11am Mr. Pumpy: The Hard-ons...Dickcheese! The Stupids, that's another great skate-punk band that comes to mind when I think of them. OKAY...just passed by the 'puter on the way to bed again. Everyone go get fucked in the best possible way! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 1:11am mariano: Didn't hear about the Dolls till the 80s, found out about them thanks to "Night Flight" on USA Network, another lifeline in the cultural wasteland. That's how I first saw "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains" and "Another State of Mind" along with videos and footage of tons of bands I'd have never heard of otherwise. Aha, Mr. Pumpy -- I knew you'd come crawling back!
	♥ 1:11am ultradamno: Aliases Mr. Vom, Richard Meltzer 😆 www.discogs.com...
	1:12am rw: Cowbell
	1:12am Agent Peter: Night Flight was great. The good ol' days of the USA network
	1:13am Dean: Yup. Richard gave me a signed Vom/Smegma/Pollard CD. I spent some quality time with the man.
	1:13am rw: Hi
	♥ 1:13am ultradamno: I heard about the Dolls at Marsh Supermarket. Literally, cutouts of that first album were everywhere back then
	♥ 1:13am Mr. Pumpy: mariano, for the record...I skipped down the hallway. No crawl.
	♥ 1:13am TomDash: Dean - Manitoba's Bar - interesting. Has a lot of cool b&w pics on the walls...and some old show posters. Any time I booked a touring band for shows in the city they wanted to go to Manitoba's...
	♥ 1:13am mariano: Then there's the Berlin Brats and their cameo in "Up in Smoke."
	♥ 1:13am TomDash: hey rw - the cowbell welcomes you...
	♥ 1:14am Aitch: Can't be sad if there's cowbell
	♥ 1:14am TomDash: Hollywood Brats moved to London and became The Boys, first wave punk...
	♥ 1:14am ultradamno: There are some great Vom clips playing on a beach on You Tube, very proto Samoans
	1:14am Dean: Those first two Boys albums...whew!
	♥ 1:15am TomDash: moved from Zurich to London...
	♥ 1:17am TomDash: more cowbell...
	♥ 1:18am ultradamno: The cassette of The Boys first album I bought cutout at a mall in Anderson IN while in high school twitter.com...
	♥ 1:19am ultradamno: I think I got my Go Girl Crazy there too. twitter.com...
	♥ 1:21am ultradamno: Hollywood Brats, originally called The Queen but changed it because of some loser band called something similar.
	♥ 1:21am mariano: You've got a museum's worth of music stuff, ultradamno.
	♥ 1:26am mariano: Jesus, Yakutsk is Siberia, isn't it? Way over on the Pacific side.
	♥ 1:27am ultradamno: Crispy Ambulance fans? Not enough Crispy bands out there
	1:27am Dean: Didn't realize until yesterday that Baltimore's Triac covered Bauhaus's "Double Dare" back in '05. Damn fine.
	♥ 1:28am TomDash: yes - I hear there is a very cool Siberia scene actually - going back to 80s post-punk I believe - makes sense, must investigate more...
	♥ 1:28am Mike W: Crispy Ambulance fan
	♥ 1:31am mariano: TomDash: Daniel Blumin played some pretty amazing Belarussian and other Eastern-European punk/hardcore back in summer sometime.
	♥ 1:31am TomDash: yes mariano - I recall that show! Will have to give another listen...
	♥ 1:32am ultradamno: We talking about this one? It was a good 'un www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 1:33am mariano: I thought it was more recently, ultradamno, though of course I could be wrong. Thought it was during the lockdown.
	♥ 1:33am Aitch: I want your soul
	♥ 1:34am ultradamno: He hasn't been on air since September, according to the playlist page, so...
	♥ 1:34am ultradamno: maybe, I guess.
	♥ 1:38am Mike W: YES
	♥ 1:38am Mike W: loud fast rules!
	♥ 1:38am mariano: Yeah, I think it was summer, but I could be wrong.
	♥ 1:39am TomDash: faster louder!
	♥ 1:39am mariano: At my age, I find myself thinking that stuff that happened a decade ago was only a couple of years ago, lol.
	♥ 1:39am ultradamno: Just seems so much longer ago.
	1:47am NikiA: @Mariano I'm already there and I'm 34. Hi everyone. HAPPY inauguration eve.
	♥ 1:48am mariano: Ooh, I remember! It was when all the protests were going on in Belarus, so sometime after late May. Booyah! Old man's still got it, nyuck nyuck nyuck. Hey NikiA!
	♥ 1:50am ultradamno: Maybe this one www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 1:50am TomDash: hey hey NikiA - welcome to the mayhem!
	♥ 1:54am TomDash: where are all my punk rock lurkers??? haha...
	♥ 1:54am mariano: Yep, that's the one, ultrad. TomDash: They're on smoko!
	♥ 1:54am Aitch: Going off Tom
	♥ 1:55am ultradamno: Everytime I see the name Cheap Nasties I think of the fictional band on Vinyl, The Nasty Bits which makes me think of how the show blamed the Dolls for the collapse of Mercer Arts (the building couldn't withstand Thunders' power chords)
	♥ 1:56am mariano: DC Snipers: now there's a proper punk band name.
	♥ 1:57am ultradamno: And The Nasty Bits singer was Mick Jagger's son and he has sex with Juno Temple, the daughter of Sex Pistols documentarian Julian Temple, I think that's all correct.
	♥ 1:58am TomDash: ha! ultrad - have you seen the Fran Lebowitz/Scorsese series? She used to see the Dolls all the time and they mention the year the Mercer Arts Center collapsed, THREE buildings just collapsed in the city...cause that just happened in the 70s...
	1:59am NikiA: random question, but this is the crowd who would know. does anyone know if Ramapo College's WRPR station still exists? and if not, why not?
	♥ 2:00am ultradamno: I have not, but I did see the clip with that music though. She kind of bugs me, maybe it's from seeing her play nice with Bill Maher.
	♥ 2:01am mariano: Some recent-ish building collapses/explosions though: Body Elite gym in Carroll Gardens (I used to go there, it's my old hood), then that building in the E. Village that blew up because the owners had messed with the gas lines.
	♥ 2:02am ultradamno: Yeah, I don't think the building was actually in use at the time. There was an article literally just about the factual accuracy of that scene online at the time
	♥ 2:03am ultradamno: Sheesh, there's a few...I think I was thinking of this one www.vulture.com...
	♥ 2:05am TomDash: mariano - I was walking my dog about 8-10 blocks away from the Carroll Gardens bldg pretty much when it happened and was wondering why all these cops were blocking off streets...ultrad - I HIGHLY recommend the Lebowitz series (speaking as a New Yorker and someone who has never watched Bill Maher)
	♥ 2:10am coelacanth∅: this sounds like "another day" by the cure
	♥ 2:11am coelacanth∅: (okay now it doesn't...though clearly influenced by the cure's first album)
	♥ 2:11am mariano: Yeah, Tom, buddy of mine who's a contractor, born and raised in CG, said that it had been waiting to happen for years, people had warned the owner several times over the years, on top of the various code violations he got. Apparently he didn't get jack out of the insurance either. Good. He could've killed someone, miracle nobody was hurt. I miss that area, I was there for 13 years.
	♥ 2:12am TomDash: interesting coel...NOW I hear it!
	♥ 2:13am ultradamno: Actually I was hearing something that got played when Creamo was have tech issues earlier today that sounded like a direct lift of Boys Don't Cry. Michele's doing maybe?
	♥ 2:13am ultradamno: Maybe from that Australian comp.
	♥ 2:14am TomDash: Oh yeah mariano - sounded so shady for sure. You were there for 13 years? I moved to Smith & Baltic around 1997/98 - moved to Pacific Street around 2007...and that's where I am to this day...
	♥ 2:16am mariano: Yep, I remember, Tom -- I think it was 2010 that I bought some Imaginary Icons albums from you at your front door, lol. I was on Hoyt and 1st, right on the corner, the ground-floor apartment that used to be a candy store. Moved there in 2001. Hey Ignatatus! Out on the road?
	♥ 2:16am TomDash: hey there ignatatus...welcome to the "weird"(?) part of the show!
	2:17am glennfromglendale: Ahoy friends. Glad i got here for the weird part of the show
	♥ 2:19am TomDash: welcome glennfromglendale! mariano - you bought an Icons record from me at my house??? wow!!!
	♥ 2:23am ultradamno: Steve Bannon has been pardoned
	♥ 2:23am mariano: Yeah, Tom! I heard "Lucifer Rise" on Liz Berg's show and I emailed her saying "Tell me everything you know about these guys!" and she gave me your email, I got in touch to ask about the record, you said to stop by to pick one up. I was in a cab on my way to a freelance gig in the city so I was in kind of a rush, but I bought the record and you threw in some other stuff, some 45s, plus the EP had hand-illustrated art. "Lucifer Rise" was my theme song for that year.
	♥ 2:24am mariano: Oh no, sorry to hear about your dog, ignatatus.
	2:27am rw: Hate to leave but it's time for me. Thanks again TD! Loving this set especially. Take care everyone.
	♥ 2:28am TomDash: wow mariano - that's great! Yes, my memory is terrible but I kinda sorta remember this - wild!
	♥ 2:28am TomDash: thanks as always rw - always good to hang!
	♥ 2:30am mariano: *Not that Liz was just carelessly handing out your contact info, we'd known each other through FMU for a few years so she knew I wasn't gonna steal your identity or anything ;) She said you're a really nice guy, and had (have?) that wine shop in the area, etc. 'Night, rw!
	♥ 2:32am ultradamno: Is the eXistenZproblem the part where that port on Jude Law's back port gets infected because the biogame module thing is sick?
	♥ 2:33am coelacanth∅: 'night rw
	2:33am VincentNifigance: @TomDash Wonderful stuff as always, Tom.
	♥ 2:33am TomDash: close...what a weird movie...
	♥ 2:34am TomDash: hey there @VincentNigigance - thanks! and thanks, as always for dropping in!
	♥ 2:34am mariano: My two songs that year were "Lucifer Rise" and "Lupine Dominus" by Thee Oh Sees or however they were writing it back then. Huh, I see that was 2012, maybe my memory's playing tricks on me, thought it was 2010 or '11.
	2:39am NikiA: Tom, Mariano, this is a wild story I feel like I'm watching a movie
	♥ 2:41am ultradamno: He better not pardon Stephen Miller, there's talk of potential charges for that whole children in cages...nightmare. I feel like we need that to happen.
	♥ 2:45am mariano: NikiA: Just another day in the thrill-a-minute life of me ;)
	♥ 2:46am ultradamno: They've been accelerating the number of executions leading up to now, which is awful, but revealed Chris Hayes' lack of mastery at pronouncing Terre Haute, which is kind of a delight.
	♥ 2:48am mariano: You know what'd be really wild is if it was ignatatus driving the cab I took that day, lol. Actually, I found out that @David (in London) knows an ex gf of mine because he was the best man at her wedding years earlier when she was married to this English guy who happened to be David's best friend.
	♥ 2:48am ultradamno: Unless Trump is just tired of pardoning, which is possible, he's meted out over 70
	♥ 2:48am TomDash: the federal executions is the most under-reported tragedy - FUCK Barr always and forever - the worst Attorney General ever - no 11 and 1/2 hour pass scolding the president...
	2:49am NikiA: well Mariano your story about picking up albums from someone's stoop inspired me to buy a cd player online. I want to build my physical cd collection back up again. so you inspired me today!
	♥ 2:50am mariano: At your service, NikiA!
	2:52am glennfromglendale: Jesus Christ, he pardoned Kodak Black. Besides being arrested for illegal weapons possession MULTIPLE times, he's a violent racist to boot. Awful
	♥ 2:53am ultradamno: Are they still just winging it on lethal compounds for these executions? I know Trump wants to go back to firing squads (no, he said this) which he might rethink if he finds out that's what has traditionally been done to traitors.
	2:53am glennfromglendale: Violent rapist*
	♥ 2:54am mariano: Possible (very thin) silver lining is that anybody associated with the Trump administration is gonna have a hell of a time finding work in both the public and private sector. I read something a while back about how no law firms or corporations want anything to do with any of those people.
	♥ 2:54am ultradamno: Yeah, he likes military men who commit atrocities quite a bit too.
	♥ 2:56am coelacanth∅: ultra @253 i believe execution is still provided for for convicted traitors.
	♥ 2:56am coelacanth∅: (but sadly he wont be convicted)
	♥ 2:57am mariano: Trump also asked about nuking hurricanes, the very stable genius. Thank you TomDash, always a grand slam! Thanks as always to the Crew, have a good night/day everyone!
	♥ 2:58am TomDash: ok folks, wrapping up here...thanks so much for tuning in as always!
	♥ 2:58am ultradamno: What he's done is much worse than what the Rosenbergs did
	♥ 2:58am coelacanth∅: Thanks Tom! Thanks skelecrew good night all
	2:58am NikiA: wow thank you ignatatus. I will check them out.
	♥ 2:59am Aitch: cool show, thanks Tom. Good luck for today americans
	♥ 3:00am TomDash: thanks for hanging y'all - ciao for now! And a new beginning (fingers crossed!)
