Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Krys O.: I brought extra flashlights.
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm austinrich: Welcome to the cave of night!
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Aitch: release the bats
	♥ 9:01pm Pauly from Clifton: Afterparty!
	9:01pm Don-O: UT!
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm austinrich: That would have been a good choice!
	9:02pm Constance De Witt: Hi Austin! X-Minus One is a program that scares me, I'm very fragile!
	9:02pm Don-O: ALMOST a Negativland track
	♥ 9:02pm Scott67: G'day Austin & Mutants! 🍻😎🤙👣🐾🎶📻☀️🌏
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm austinrich: Don't be afraid. It's just time for the night to fall.
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm austinrich: Greetings, Constance! Consider it theater of the mind! Hello Don-O, and Scott67! Welcome to the afterparty, Pauly from Clifton!
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm austinrich: I welcome the "almost Negativland" comparison! Thanks you!
	9:04pm Mr Fab: Hi Austin! I recommend visiting a real cave, like the Crystal Cave in Sequoia National Park. It's really huge, strange and cool, not those little holes in the sides of mountains you see in movies.
	9:05pm Otis: Hi Austin and fellow mutators!
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm austinrich: Greetings Mr. Fab & Otis!
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm austinrich: I would love to visit the Sequoia National Park! One of these days.
	🎸 ♥ 9:06pm Aitch: branching out?
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm austinrich: True store: I dated a girl who did an "internet radio show" in the early 2000s that was called "Six Degrees of Mick Collins." I suspect you can guess the content of this show at the time... which was fantastic.
	9:09pm Mr. X: Poor McMillan. Perhaps they should have planned his mission better.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm austinrich: I do like that the radio operator is the "beginning" of the story.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm austinrich: "Chess by Radio" sounds like such a hammy way of spending the afternoon.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm austinrich: Mr. X does raise a good point: I think Mission Control should take more responsibility for our heroes' plight.
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm austinrich: Last of The Juanitas had this adorable, tiny bass player - Lana Rebel - who was smaller than just about any bass player I ever saw. And she shreds. Her country band - Juanita Family - was very popular in PDX.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm austinrich: "Little Girl Stuck In A Well." A recurring theme for this episode. Did they predict the Baby Jessica story from the '80's?
	9:21pm Mr. X: I walked through the snow and got asked if I had jumper cables. "Not on me," I said. She scowled and waved me on. I guess I should remember to bring jumper cables when I go on walks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm austinrich: Hmmmmm. I'm not sure you can be faulted for not having jumper cables. That seems to be more than most folks can be expected to have on them.
	9:24pm Otis: Have a good eve Austin and folks, off to shutdown here, see you soon in radioland.
	9:24pm Mr Fab: Esp. those of us with electric cars.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm austinrich: Yeah. Only those hybrid cars can help with a jump anyway. Knight Otis! See you next time! It's funny, I initially thought I would do a "Grumpy Punk" installment this week, but changed my mind when I felt like "isolation" was starting to be a theme. Only now do I realize that there's a bit of a garage undercurrent.
	9:26pm Mr. X: So McMillan's first name is Reb? Still living the Confederate dream in 1956...
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm austinrich: I thought it was "Red," but the narrator doesn't enunciate very well.
	9:27pm Mr. X: The brother of the bass player in my band works at Goddard.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm austinrich: You are often connected to the wildest people, Mr. X! Weren't you in a band that HR of Bad Brains recorded with?
	9:29pm Mr. X: Yeah I thought it was Rev at first. Then Red. But I think mush mouth narrator enunciated the 'b' at one point.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm austinrich: While I am a fan of all of Greg Sage's output, I think "The Power in One" was overlooked by a lot of people because it came out at a weird time, and he was selling the albums himself, and it just didn't hit as big as it could have. I think if it has gone over better, he might have been more enthusiastic about the future of The Wipers.
	9:32pm Mr. X: True, though I had quit the band before their sessions with HR. And BEFORE I joined the band (Stick Against Stone) the Bad Brains had let them use their practice space and park their bus in front, in NYC.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm austinrich: I saw "Bishop of Battle" open for Man... Or Astro-Man? in the 90's, and it was the first time I bought a burned CD from a band at a show. I remember thinking $5 seemed steep then. That CD still plays, and I still listen to this disc all the time. The drummer has played mostly in metal bands since then, namely in his band "Witch Mountain." He also writes comics, novels, and is a music critic in PDX. This was his second band.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Krys O.: I see a market opening for pedestrian jumper cables.
	9:40pm Mr Fab: a burned CD from that long ago still plays?! Should be sent to a lab for study.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm WR: As long as the internet connection is working, I'm content in the cave.
	9:41pm sufferwords: can never play too much XIIIth Floor Otis men
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Krys O.: We had over three feet of snowfall here in Jersey during January of this year.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Krys O.: I think a hand-me-down iMac we had 20 years ago burned CDs in real time. Zoinks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm austinrich: I agree, suffer words.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm austinrich: I re-ripped that CDr earlier this year, and and played flawlessly. I think CD Burners in those days were made of sturdier stuff. I have a few CDs from that era that I burned via command line when I used to run Linux... those CDs are sturdy as hell.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Krys O.: The Cave of Night reminds me of CBS Radio Mystery Theater. We listened to that in the early 70s in our household.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm austinrich: I love those old CBS Radio Mystery episodes. I only know them via re-runs, but some of them are wonderfully weird.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm austinrich: I've been thinking of pitching an "Old Time Radio" show for Sheena. I was playing old Detective shows on my program a while back, and I sort of miss that... but they eat up a big chunk of the show each week if I play a full episode.
	♥ 9:49pm Rich in Washington: Re: CDRs. It also depends on what you burn them on. Generally, CDRs branded with an office supply store tend to self-destruct fairly quickly, as does anything with Memorex on it. I've been buying archival quality Taiyo Yuden blanks for about 15 years and I suspect they'll last a while.
	♥ 9:50pm Rich in Washington: Diggin' the show Austin! I've been busy cooking up a huge biryani for most of the evening.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm austinrich: To Rich's Point: I have some CDs that self-destructed very quickly. A lot of Noise and Experimental guys sell stuff on CDs that die after a couple years! I'm glad I make a habit of ripping a lot of stuff immediately, otherwise some 3" discs I bought would just be artifacts.
	♥ 9:51pm Pauly from Clifton: Austin, thanks for playing this Sabbath. Overlooked tune on the rekkid.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm austinrich: Thanks Rich! They were riffing on the similarity in our names last hour.
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm austinrich: I love that Sabbath Record, but I think it is often forgotten in the hugeness of the other records. But Master of Reality is the special one to me.
	9:53pm Mr. X: No butter no mayonnaise.
	♥ 9:53pm Rich in Washington: Master of Reality is great!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm austinrich: This Sun Ra pick was made by Mr. X. You still in the chat, Mr. X?
	♥ 9:53pm Not Austin Rich in Washington: What? Really?
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm austinrich: Maybe everyone loves Master of Reality and I just didn't realize it. I always hear people talk about the other ones.
	9:54pm Mr. X: Yes. I think this tune fits well.
	9:55pm Mr Fab: C'mon, it's the one with "Sweat Leaf"!
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm austinrich: Totally. I could have played Sun Ra all the way through. As Mr. X reminded me: McMilian is said to be a fan of Jazz.
	9:56pm Mr. X: And Mozart.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm austinrich: A Sun Ra / Mozart Mash-Up. Next time.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Krys O.: My old friend David Quinlan, who did a show on WFMU when I was a student at Upsala College in the early 80s did two things on his overnight show: he read When the Sleeper Wakes in segments and he would play whole Goon Show episodes. I don't know if other people liked it, but I was enthralled by both. Maybe you could do installments. Tune in next time and such
	9:57pm Mr. X: Interstellar Low Ways is one of Sun Ra's most listenable albums, in my humble opinion.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm austinrich: I have a few Goon Show LPs. I need to get my turntables set up. Those records are magic.
	♥ 9:58pm Rich in Washington: Love the Goons. Someone at KBOO would play these Goon episodes on a box set they had in the library in the late 70s.
	9:59pm Mr. X: I see Kansas City winking
	🎸 ♥ 9:59pm austinrich: I agree Mr. X. Sun Ra has some difficult albums, but Low Ways is just wonderful.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm austinrich: I'm a huge sucker for this Debris album. I think it's my own hillbilly upbringing that just makes Kentucky glam just perfect for me.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Krys O.: BTW- I am up past my normal bedtime. Staycation off from work this week and I don't have to wake up at 4:15am.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm austinrich: Mr. X: I wanted to do something with that Kansas City winking, but I've been distracted this week, as you can imagine. I decided to just let the clip play.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm austinrich: Party with us, Krys O!
	10:02pm Rokudenashi: Good evening from Salinas, California!
	♥ 10:03pm Rich in Washington: Similarly able to listen as I am off work and stranded in the snow for the foreseeable future. I'm usually driving home, running errands and then having dinner with the missus when the later shows are on.
	10:04pm Mr Fab: Don't know Debris, but that was super cool. No one uses tremolo much nowadays.
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm austinrich: Mr. Fab: you totally need Kentucky Proto-Punk / Glam! Debris is the best!
	10:07pm Mr. X: Rafferty? Reberdy?
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm austinrich: This was the clearest recording of this story I could find, short of me re-recording it. These guys are just mush-mouths.
	♥ 10:08pm Derek Westerholm: Happy end of the Year/New Year show to you! Digging the show. Investigating the corridors of isolation is lonely work, but not without reward. Thanks for bravely embracing this territory. Excellent programming.
	10:10pm Rokudenashi: I agree...Debris jam was a great groove
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm austinrich: Ya'll are sweet. A lot of these jams I just NEEDED to hear.
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm austinrich: When I first moved to PDX, I read in the paper, "Only a great fool would miss Dead Moon when they play live," and so I went and saw them every time I could. About six times total. Every time was AMAZING.
	10:11pm Mr Fab: An old time radio show would be cool. All those mystery, suspense, sci-fi shows. WC Fields insulting Charlie McCarthy. Yeah!
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm austinrich: I'll send you my pitch, Mr. Fab. I have an idea that would be pretty sustainable, and I love old Detective and horror shows.
	10:13pm Mr. X: Lots of local NW music on tonight, too. You've played at least 3 Portland bands so far.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm austinrich: I do love those PDX bands.
	10:13pm Rokudenashi: I saw you got the snow you were hoping for @austinrich
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm austinrich: When I first got to KPSU in PDX, the "Lost In Translation" movie has just come out. EVERY DJ played this soundtrack, almost all the time. It was sort of a meme in the late 2004's / early 2005's.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm austinrich: I did get the snow I wanted, Rokud!
	10:15pm Mr. X: @Roku: I saw Neil Young live in a high school gymnasium in Salinas, 1982.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm austinrich: The snow didn't last, but our snow season is usually in Jan / Feb, so we will probably get more.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm austinrich: I like the "riff" this section of the story does on the "X-Minus One" opening theme.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm austinrich: How was that Neil Young show? I've never seen him, so I don't know his live reputation.
	10:18pm Rokudenashi: @Mr. X That's amazing, although he's somewhat local, it's hard to imagine Neil Young playing in what was likely Salinas High School gym.
	10:18pm Mr. X: It was excellent. He had just released Trans, so there was lots of weird vocoder stuff. Some audience members left in disgust.
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm austinrich: I like that Trans album, but largely because it is SO weird by comparison.
	10:20pm Mr. X: Yep. "Computer Age" is so nerdy and prophetic.
	10:21pm Mr. X: But never mind all that. It's Shot Reverse Shot! Sci fi music at its finest.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm austinrich: While not dramatically different from the album mix, Shot Reverse Shot actually did a slight re-mix of this tune for this radio show. Though I'm not sure people would notice unless they do a side-by-side comparison.
	♥ 10:21pm Derek Westerholm: I was just looking up Shot Reverse Shot, and only found the film related definition. Who is this? Enjoying this song.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Krys O.: I'm a huge Trans fan. I have Solo Trans on laserdisc.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm austinrich: shotreverseshot.bandcamp.com The album isn't available to stream. Yet. Tim Maloney is doing a remix for me that will be available to stream.
	♥ 10:26pm Derek Westerholm: ^ Thanks for the link Austin!
	10:27pm Rokudenashi: Therapy indeed! Busted up with my girlfriend of 10 years on Christmas...after the gift exchange, of course.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm austinrich: Woah! A break-up!? That sucks, Rokud. And on a holiday? Damn.
	♥ 10:28pm DJ Babs: Howdy All Very much enjoying your picks Rich
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm austinrich: Thanks DJ Babs! I'm having a good time, anyway.
	♥ 10:28pm DJ Babs: Oh geez Roku that sucks...
	♥ 10:29pm DJ Babs: I know what you mean about radio as therapy...it certainly helps keep me going, that's for sure!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm austinrich: I know Jandek is an acquired taste. For a journalism piece I wrote, I listened to every Jandek album, and saw him twice. (Once in Portland, and once in Austin Texas.) I'm still not sure what to make of his music, but sometimes... it's just right.
	10:30pm Rokudenashi: I got socks out of the deal...thanks @austinrich @DJBabs , I'll have to find another reason to visit you outside of Thanksgiving trips to the in-laws!
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm austinrich: Yeah. We've had a rough week in the Rich Household. Time to cut loose with some... sad radio stories? (I Yam What I Yam.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm austinrich: Rokud: you are welcome to visit us when you can! Under non-pandemic conditions, you could sleep on our couch, for sure.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Krys O.: I used Jandek albums as desk blotters in the late 80s.
	♥ 10:32pm DJ Babs: Socks....wow. Look at it this way Roku...a) you got some socks. b) and your freedom! c) the chance to start all over again on life's big adventure. (I know, I know...a bit cheerleaderish but there's some truth there)
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Krys O.: Irwin had boxes of them and gave them away to everyone.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm austinrich: Krys O: Ha! He might appreciate that. He seems to understand that he's outside what most people like as "music."
	10:32pm Mr. X: So does this episode predict the fake moon landing?
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm austinrich: Didn't Irwin write about Jandek for a book?
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm austinrich: Mr. X: I think it does. I'd hate to think I'm contributing to conspiracy theory quackery...
	10:33pm Mr. X: If it was fake, was the rescue mission fake too? Did Gen. Finch keep the billion dollars for himself?
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm austinrich: The time that I saw Low, their daughter was off stage, and kept running around on the stage, crying, laughing, getting more applause than the band. It was sort of weird... the saddest songs in the world... and this baby, running around. It was so strange.
	♥ 10:34pm Derek Westerholm: Always a fan of Low. Played Just Like Christmas from their Christmas album last week on our show. Their new album pushes into distorted territory. It's a severe effect for an entire album, but also a bold choice and an interesting one. (Sorry, not trying to hijack the moon talk here.)
	10:34pm Rokudenashi: Thanks my dude! As a result of the breakup, I hope to have some tunes to share with you soon.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm austinrich: I think Mr. X and I need to write a sequel to this story, where we explore the other stuff you mention.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm austinrich: We listened to the Low Christmas album a bit ago too, Derek.
	10:35pm Mr Fab: Irwin's book "Songs in the Key of Z" featured a chapter on Jandek (among many others).
	10:35pm Mr. X: One of the Bee Gees better compositions.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm austinrich: It's really good.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm austinrich: I thought that was the case, Mr. Fab. I've got that book around the old Lava Lamp Lounge somewhere.
	10:36pm Mr Fab: My wife and i always laugh at the line about "I fell out of bed, hurting my head."
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm austinrich: The lyrics to that song are pretty silly... which is part of the joke, I guess?
	♥ 10:37pm Derek Westerholm: One of my concert regrets was missing Low. I was supposed to see them somewhere around the turn of the millennium, but was sick, so I decided to bail. Always sad to look at unused tickets, a concert without one or two occupants.
	10:37pm Rokudenashi: @DJBabs - you're very kind! The prospect of starting over is quite exciting...I'll be able to tune into Mini-Mutations more!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm austinrich: The Weatherman inspired this Fats Waller track. He and I chat on the phone fairly often, and he mentioned that Fats is one of his favorite musicians. When I saw The Weatherman DJ in Seattle on Halloween a few years ago, he played several fats selections.
	♥ 10:38pm Derek Westerholm: I feel like Low have some edge & humour about them. There's a lot of sad, "slowcore" bands that lack their depth, in my opinion.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm austinrich: Low is funnier than most people give them credit. You gotta have a sense of humor to do what they do.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm austinrich: Stella Star is a DJ and broadcaster here in Salem, Oregon, and can be heard on KMUZ fairly often. They've been doing radio for... ages...
	10:44pm Mr Fab: ANOTHER Sheena's DJ who knows The Weatherman. He's quite friendly, it seems. Has he ever had his own radio show?
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm austinrich: I don't think The Weatherman has ever done his own show, outside of Over The Edge with Don Joyce. But I've got a couple interviews I did with him... I should re-listen to the one about his early years.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm austinrich: I know he did some shows with Richard, just the two of them. But. I think those were just OTE shows, too.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm austinrich: I used to work in an aviary, so this story spoke to me.
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm austinrich: I blame the Ramen City Kid - friend of the show - for introducing me to Richard Brautigan. The fact he used to live in Eugene only convinced me that I could write Brautigans too, if I tried. I collected my Brautigans in a book in 2008, that I lost money on in every sense of the words. I'm not sure I really succeeded - I was reading too much Calvino and Borges in those days, too, so the stories are... well.. like a young man who drinks too much, aping someone else's style.
	10:55pm Rokudenashi: Ramen City Kid! Hope he's doing well. I remember reading this story somewhere....
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm austinrich: Ramen City Kid is still around. (We did a show together a few episodes ago.) Lives in PDX. Owns his own house. Has a steady job that allows him to work from home. He's doing pretty good, in my mind.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Krys O.: Thanks for an entertaining show!
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm austinrich: It just occurs to me: given the proximity, and the similar time periods, I wonder if Brautigan ever ran into Coyle & Sharpe?
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm austinrich: I might go a tiny bit over... but I only have a little bit more.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm austinrich: Thanks Krys O! I do like to entertain.
	10:59pm Rokudenashi: Is RCK still in the house you and I visited him at in 2007? He had just bought it then...ducks in the yard!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm austinrich: Yep, that's the house! The ducks have passed, but we got many delicious duck eggs from them in the meantime.
	♥ 11:00pm Pauly from Clifton: This is wonderful. Thanks, Austin!
	♥ 11:01pm Scott67: Thanks Rich! That was great mate! 🍻😎🤙☀️🌏
	11:01pm Rokudenashi: Right on...loved the show! Can't wait for the next one.
	11:01pm Mr. X: Brautigan is fun, and the added sound fx made it even more fun.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03pm austinrich: All the lines of dialog in this song are based on real things that happened to me growing up.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm austinrich: Thanks for tuning in, everyone! I've had a hard week, and it was nice to hear you all babbling away in the chat. Thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 11:06pm WR: Thank you Rich! Interesting episode, greatly enjoyed.
	♥ 11:08pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks for a fantastic show!

Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Krys O.: I brought extra flashlights.
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm austinrich: Welcome to the cave of night!
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Aitch: release the bats
	♥ 9:01pm Pauly from Clifton: Afterparty!
	9:01pm Don-O: UT!
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm austinrich: That would have been a good choice!
	9:02pm Constance De Witt: Hi Austin! X-Minus One is a program that scares me, I'm very fragile!
	9:02pm Don-O: ALMOST a Negativland track
	♥ 9:02pm Scott67: G'day Austin & Mutants! 🍻😎🤙👣🐾🎶📻☀️🌏
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm austinrich: Don't be afraid. It's just time for the night to fall.
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm austinrich: Greetings, Constance! Consider it theater of the mind! Hello Don-O, and Scott67! Welcome to the afterparty, Pauly from Clifton!
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm austinrich: I welcome the "almost Negativland" comparison! Thanks you!
	9:04pm Mr Fab: Hi Austin! I recommend visiting a real cave, like the Crystal Cave in Sequoia National Park. It's really huge, strange and cool, not those little holes in the sides of mountains you see in movies.
	9:05pm Otis: Hi Austin and fellow mutators!
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm austinrich: Greetings Mr. Fab & Otis!
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm austinrich: I would love to visit the Sequoia National Park! One of these days.
	🎸 ♥ 9:06pm Aitch: branching out?
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm austinrich: True store: I dated a girl who did an "internet radio show" in the early 2000s that was called "Six Degrees of Mick Collins." I suspect you can guess the content of this show at the time... which was fantastic.
	9:09pm Mr. X: Poor McMillan. Perhaps they should have planned his mission better.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm austinrich: I do like that the radio operator is the "beginning" of the story.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm austinrich: "Chess by Radio" sounds like such a hammy way of spending the afternoon.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm austinrich: Mr. X does raise a good point: I think Mission Control should take more responsibility for our heroes' plight.
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm austinrich: Last of The Juanitas had this adorable, tiny bass player - Lana Rebel - who was smaller than just about any bass player I ever saw. And she shreds. Her country band - Juanita Family - was very popular in PDX.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm austinrich: "Little Girl Stuck In A Well." A recurring theme for this episode. Did they predict the Baby Jessica story from the '80's?
	9:21pm Mr. X: I walked through the snow and got asked if I had jumper cables. "Not on me," I said. She scowled and waved me on. I guess I should remember to bring jumper cables when I go on walks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm austinrich: Hmmmmm. I'm not sure you can be faulted for not having jumper cables. That seems to be more than most folks can be expected to have on them.
	9:24pm Otis: Have a good eve Austin and folks, off to shutdown here, see you soon in radioland.
	9:24pm Mr Fab: Esp. those of us with electric cars.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm austinrich: Yeah. Only those hybrid cars can help with a jump anyway. Knight Otis! See you next time! It's funny, I initially thought I would do a "Grumpy Punk" installment this week, but changed my mind when I felt like "isolation" was starting to be a theme. Only now do I realize that there's a bit of a garage undercurrent.
	9:26pm Mr. X: So McMillan's first name is Reb? Still living the Confederate dream in 1956...
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm austinrich: I thought it was "Red," but the narrator doesn't enunciate very well.
	9:27pm Mr. X: The brother of the bass player in my band works at Goddard.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm austinrich: You are often connected to the wildest people, Mr. X! Weren't you in a band that HR of Bad Brains recorded with?
	9:29pm Mr. X: Yeah I thought it was Rev at first. Then Red. But I think mush mouth narrator enunciated the 'b' at one point.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm austinrich: While I am a fan of all of Greg Sage's output, I think "The Power in One" was overlooked by a lot of people because it came out at a weird time, and he was selling the albums himself, and it just didn't hit as big as it could have. I think if it has gone over better, he might have been more enthusiastic about the future of The Wipers.
	9:32pm Mr. X: True, though I had quit the band before their sessions with HR. And BEFORE I joined the band (Stick Against Stone) the Bad Brains had let them use their practice space and park their bus in front, in NYC.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm austinrich: I saw "Bishop of Battle" open for Man... Or Astro-Man? in the 90's, and it was the first time I bought a burned CD from a band at a show. I remember thinking $5 seemed steep then. That CD still plays, and I still listen to this disc all the time. The drummer has played mostly in metal bands since then, namely in his band "Witch Mountain." He also writes comics, novels, and is a music critic in PDX. This was his second band.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Krys O.: I see a market opening for pedestrian jumper cables.
	9:40pm Mr Fab: a burned CD from that long ago still plays?! Should be sent to a lab for study.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm WR: As long as the internet connection is working, I'm content in the cave.
	9:41pm sufferwords: can never play too much XIIIth Floor Otis men
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Krys O.: We had over three feet of snowfall here in Jersey during January of this year.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Krys O.: I think a hand-me-down iMac we had 20 years ago burned CDs in real time. Zoinks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm austinrich: I agree, suffer words.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm austinrich: I re-ripped that CDr earlier this year, and and played flawlessly. I think CD Burners in those days were made of sturdier stuff. I have a few CDs from that era that I burned via command line when I used to run Linux... those CDs are sturdy as hell.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Krys O.: The Cave of Night reminds me of CBS Radio Mystery Theater. We listened to that in the early 70s in our household.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm austinrich: I love those old CBS Radio Mystery episodes. I only know them via re-runs, but some of them are wonderfully weird.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm austinrich: I've been thinking of pitching an "Old Time Radio" show for Sheena. I was playing old Detective shows on my program a while back, and I sort of miss that... but they eat up a big chunk of the show each week if I play a full episode.
	♥ 9:49pm Rich in Washington: Re: CDRs. It also depends on what you burn them on. Generally, CDRs branded with an office supply store tend to self-destruct fairly quickly, as does anything with Memorex on it. I've been buying archival quality Taiyo Yuden blanks for about 15 years and I suspect they'll last a while.
	♥ 9:50pm Rich in Washington: Diggin' the show Austin! I've been busy cooking up a huge biryani for most of the evening.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm austinrich: To Rich's Point: I have some CDs that self-destructed very quickly. A lot of Noise and Experimental guys sell stuff on CDs that die after a couple years! I'm glad I make a habit of ripping a lot of stuff immediately, otherwise some 3" discs I bought would just be artifacts.
	♥ 9:51pm Pauly from Clifton: Austin, thanks for playing this Sabbath. Overlooked tune on the rekkid.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm austinrich: Thanks Rich! They were riffing on the similarity in our names last hour.
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm austinrich: I love that Sabbath Record, but I think it is often forgotten in the hugeness of the other records. But Master of Reality is the special one to me.
	9:53pm Mr. X: No butter no mayonnaise.
	♥ 9:53pm Rich in Washington: Master of Reality is great!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm austinrich: This Sun Ra pick was made by Mr. X. You still in the chat, Mr. X?
	♥ 9:53pm Not Austin Rich in Washington: What? Really?
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm austinrich: Maybe everyone loves Master of Reality and I just didn't realize it. I always hear people talk about the other ones.
	9:54pm Mr. X: Yes. I think this tune fits well.
	9:55pm Mr Fab: C'mon, it's the one with "Sweat Leaf"!
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm austinrich: Totally. I could have played Sun Ra all the way through. As Mr. X reminded me: McMilian is said to be a fan of Jazz.
	9:56pm Mr. X: And Mozart.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm austinrich: A Sun Ra / Mozart Mash-Up. Next time.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Krys O.: My old friend David Quinlan, who did a show on WFMU when I was a student at Upsala College in the early 80s did two things on his overnight show: he read When the Sleeper Wakes in segments and he would play whole Goon Show episodes. I don't know if other people liked it, but I was enthralled by both. Maybe you could do installments. Tune in next time and such
	9:57pm Mr. X: Interstellar Low Ways is one of Sun Ra's most listenable albums, in my humble opinion.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm austinrich: I have a few Goon Show LPs. I need to get my turntables set up. Those records are magic.
	♥ 9:58pm Rich in Washington: Love the Goons. Someone at KBOO would play these Goon episodes on a box set they had in the library in the late 70s.
	9:59pm Mr. X: I see Kansas City winking
	🎸 ♥ 9:59pm austinrich: I agree Mr. X. Sun Ra has some difficult albums, but Low Ways is just wonderful.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm austinrich: I'm a huge sucker for this Debris album. I think it's my own hillbilly upbringing that just makes Kentucky glam just perfect for me.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Krys O.: BTW- I am up past my normal bedtime. Staycation off from work this week and I don't have to wake up at 4:15am.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm austinrich: Mr. X: I wanted to do something with that Kansas City winking, but I've been distracted this week, as you can imagine. I decided to just let the clip play.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm austinrich: Party with us, Krys O!
	10:02pm Rokudenashi: Good evening from Salinas, California!
	♥ 10:03pm Rich in Washington: Similarly able to listen as I am off work and stranded in the snow for the foreseeable future. I'm usually driving home, running errands and then having dinner with the missus when the later shows are on.
	10:04pm Mr Fab: Don't know Debris, but that was super cool. No one uses tremolo much nowadays.
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm austinrich: Mr. Fab: you totally need Kentucky Proto-Punk / Glam! Debris is the best!
	10:07pm Mr. X: Rafferty? Reberdy?
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm austinrich: This was the clearest recording of this story I could find, short of me re-recording it. These guys are just mush-mouths.
	♥ 10:08pm Derek Westerholm: Happy end of the Year/New Year show to you! Digging the show. Investigating the corridors of isolation is lonely work, but not without reward. Thanks for bravely embracing this territory. Excellent programming.
	10:10pm Rokudenashi: I agree...Debris jam was a great groove
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm austinrich: Ya'll are sweet. A lot of these jams I just NEEDED to hear.
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm austinrich: When I first moved to PDX, I read in the paper, "Only a great fool would miss Dead Moon when they play live," and so I went and saw them every time I could. About six times total. Every time was AMAZING.
	10:11pm Mr Fab: An old time radio show would be cool. All those mystery, suspense, sci-fi shows. WC Fields insulting Charlie McCarthy. Yeah!
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm austinrich: I'll send you my pitch, Mr. Fab. I have an idea that would be pretty sustainable, and I love old Detective and horror shows.
	10:13pm Mr. X: Lots of local NW music on tonight, too. You've played at least 3 Portland bands so far.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm austinrich: I do love those PDX bands.
	10:13pm Rokudenashi: I saw you got the snow you were hoping for @austinrich
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm austinrich: When I first got to KPSU in PDX, the "Lost In Translation" movie has just come out. EVERY DJ played this soundtrack, almost all the time. It was sort of a meme in the late 2004's / early 2005's.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm austinrich: I did get the snow I wanted, Rokud!
	10:15pm Mr. X: @Roku: I saw Neil Young live in a high school gymnasium in Salinas, 1982.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm austinrich: The snow didn't last, but our snow season is usually in Jan / Feb, so we will probably get more.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm austinrich: I like the "riff" this section of the story does on the "X-Minus One" opening theme.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm austinrich: How was that Neil Young show? I've never seen him, so I don't know his live reputation.
	10:18pm Rokudenashi: @Mr. X That's amazing, although he's somewhat local, it's hard to imagine Neil Young playing in what was likely Salinas High School gym.
	10:18pm Mr. X: It was excellent. He had just released Trans, so there was lots of weird vocoder stuff. Some audience members left in disgust.
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm austinrich: I like that Trans album, but largely because it is SO weird by comparison.
	10:20pm Mr. X: Yep. "Computer Age" is so nerdy and prophetic.
	10:21pm Mr. X: But never mind all that. It's Shot Reverse Shot! Sci fi music at its finest.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm austinrich: While not dramatically different from the album mix, Shot Reverse Shot actually did a slight re-mix of this tune for this radio show. Though I'm not sure people would notice unless they do a side-by-side comparison.
	♥ 10:21pm Derek Westerholm: I was just looking up Shot Reverse Shot, and only found the film related definition. Who is this? Enjoying this song.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Krys O.: I'm a huge Trans fan. I have Solo Trans on laserdisc.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm austinrich: shotreverseshot.bandcamp.com The album isn't available to stream. Yet. Tim Maloney is doing a remix for me that will be available to stream.
	♥ 10:26pm Derek Westerholm: ^ Thanks for the link Austin!
	10:27pm Rokudenashi: Therapy indeed! Busted up with my girlfriend of 10 years on Christmas...after the gift exchange, of course.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm austinrich: Woah! A break-up!? That sucks, Rokud. And on a holiday? Damn.
	♥ 10:28pm DJ Babs: Howdy All Very much enjoying your picks Rich
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm austinrich: Thanks DJ Babs! I'm having a good time, anyway.
	♥ 10:28pm DJ Babs: Oh geez Roku that sucks...
	♥ 10:29pm DJ Babs: I know what you mean about radio as therapy...it certainly helps keep me going, that's for sure!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm austinrich: I know Jandek is an acquired taste. For a journalism piece I wrote, I listened to every Jandek album, and saw him twice. (Once in Portland, and once in Austin Texas.) I'm still not sure what to make of his music, but sometimes... it's just right.
	10:30pm Rokudenashi: I got socks out of the deal...thanks @austinrich @DJBabs , I'll have to find another reason to visit you outside of Thanksgiving trips to the in-laws!
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm austinrich: Yeah. We've had a rough week in the Rich Household. Time to cut loose with some... sad radio stories? (I Yam What I Yam.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm austinrich: Rokud: you are welcome to visit us when you can! Under non-pandemic conditions, you could sleep on our couch, for sure.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Krys O.: I used Jandek albums as desk blotters in the late 80s.
	♥ 10:32pm DJ Babs: Socks....wow. Look at it this way Roku...a) you got some socks. b) and your freedom! c) the chance to start all over again on life's big adventure. (I know, I know...a bit cheerleaderish but there's some truth there)
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Krys O.: Irwin had boxes of them and gave them away to everyone.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm austinrich: Krys O: Ha! He might appreciate that. He seems to understand that he's outside what most people like as "music."
	10:32pm Mr. X: So does this episode predict the fake moon landing?
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm austinrich: Didn't Irwin write about Jandek for a book?
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm austinrich: Mr. X: I think it does. I'd hate to think I'm contributing to conspiracy theory quackery...
	10:33pm Mr. X: If it was fake, was the rescue mission fake too? Did Gen. Finch keep the billion dollars for himself?
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm austinrich: The time that I saw Low, their daughter was off stage, and kept running around on the stage, crying, laughing, getting more applause than the band. It was sort of weird... the saddest songs in the world... and this baby, running around. It was so strange.
	♥ 10:34pm Derek Westerholm: Always a fan of Low. Played Just Like Christmas from their Christmas album last week on our show. Their new album pushes into distorted territory. It's a severe effect for an entire album, but also a bold choice and an interesting one. (Sorry, not trying to hijack the moon talk here.)
	10:34pm Rokudenashi: Thanks my dude! As a result of the breakup, I hope to have some tunes to share with you soon.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm austinrich: I think Mr. X and I need to write a sequel to this story, where we explore the other stuff you mention.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm austinrich: We listened to the Low Christmas album a bit ago too, Derek.
	10:35pm Mr Fab: Irwin's book "Songs in the Key of Z" featured a chapter on Jandek (among many others).
	10:35pm Mr. X: One of the Bee Gees better compositions.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm austinrich: It's really good.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm austinrich: I thought that was the case, Mr. Fab. I've got that book around the old Lava Lamp Lounge somewhere.
	10:36pm Mr Fab: My wife and i always laugh at the line about "I fell out of bed, hurting my head."
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm austinrich: The lyrics to that song are pretty silly... which is part of the joke, I guess?
	♥ 10:37pm Derek Westerholm: One of my concert regrets was missing Low. I was supposed to see them somewhere around the turn of the millennium, but was sick, so I decided to bail. Always sad to look at unused tickets, a concert without one or two occupants.
	10:37pm Rokudenashi: @DJBabs - you're very kind! The prospect of starting over is quite exciting...I'll be able to tune into Mini-Mutations more!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm austinrich: The Weatherman inspired this Fats Waller track. He and I chat on the phone fairly often, and he mentioned that Fats is one of his favorite musicians. When I saw The Weatherman DJ in Seattle on Halloween a few years ago, he played several fats selections.
	♥ 10:38pm Derek Westerholm: I feel like Low have some edge & humour about them. There's a lot of sad, "slowcore" bands that lack their depth, in my opinion.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm austinrich: Low is funnier than most people give them credit. You gotta have a sense of humor to do what they do.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm austinrich: Stella Star is a DJ and broadcaster here in Salem, Oregon, and can be heard on KMUZ fairly often. They've been doing radio for... ages...
	10:44pm Mr Fab: ANOTHER Sheena's DJ who knows The Weatherman. He's quite friendly, it seems. Has he ever had his own radio show?
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm austinrich: I don't think The Weatherman has ever done his own show, outside of Over The Edge with Don Joyce. But I've got a couple interviews I did with him... I should re-listen to the one about his early years.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm austinrich: I know he did some shows with Richard, just the two of them. But. I think those were just OTE shows, too.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm austinrich: I used to work in an aviary, so this story spoke to me.
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm austinrich: I blame the Ramen City Kid - friend of the show - for introducing me to Richard Brautigan. The fact he used to live in Eugene only convinced me that I could write Brautigans too, if I tried. I collected my Brautigans in a book in 2008, that I lost money on in every sense of the words. I'm not sure I really succeeded - I was reading too much Calvino and Borges in those days, too, so the stories are... well.. like a young man who drinks too much, aping someone else's style.
	10:55pm Rokudenashi: Ramen City Kid! Hope he's doing well. I remember reading this story somewhere....
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm austinrich: Ramen City Kid is still around. (We did a show together a few episodes ago.) Lives in PDX. Owns his own house. Has a steady job that allows him to work from home. He's doing pretty good, in my mind.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Krys O.: Thanks for an entertaining show!
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm austinrich: It just occurs to me: given the proximity, and the similar time periods, I wonder if Brautigan ever ran into Coyle & Sharpe?
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm austinrich: I might go a tiny bit over... but I only have a little bit more.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm austinrich: Thanks Krys O! I do like to entertain.
	10:59pm Rokudenashi: Is RCK still in the house you and I visited him at in 2007? He had just bought it then...ducks in the yard!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm austinrich: Yep, that's the house! The ducks have passed, but we got many delicious duck eggs from them in the meantime.
	♥ 11:00pm Pauly from Clifton: This is wonderful. Thanks, Austin!
	♥ 11:01pm Scott67: Thanks Rich! That was great mate! 🍻😎🤙☀️🌏
	11:01pm Rokudenashi: Right on...loved the show! Can't wait for the next one.
	11:01pm Mr. X: Brautigan is fun, and the added sound fx made it even more fun.
	🎸 ♥ 11:03pm austinrich: All the lines of dialog in this song are based on real things that happened to me growing up.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm austinrich: Thanks for tuning in, everyone! I've had a hard week, and it was nice to hear you all babbling away in the chat. Thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 11:06pm WR: Thank you Rich! Interesting episode, greatly enjoyed.
	♥ 11:08pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks for a fantastic show!
