	1:27pm Mr Fab: You got it!!
	1:27pm Mr. Oxford: Mr. Fab, I have a question for you. Is Music for Maniacs your blog?
	1:27pm Miss Mei: Wow, I did something right for once, cut me an oversized wedge!
	1:28pm Mr Fab: Mr. Oxford: yep, that was mine. I stopped updating it after WFMU took over my life.
	1:28pm Miss Mei: I have my WFMU shirt on with the two girls listening to headphones. I like to tell people they're in love.
	1:30pm Miss Mei: More Pimpollin because I love clowns and that's just what has to happen.
	1:30pm Miss Mei: Canta conmigo!
	♥ 1:30pm Jan Turkenburg: I was only 17 minutes late, did you all notice that?
	1:30pm Mr. Oxford: Wow, Mr. Fab! This feels quite surreal for me. I would visit your blog from time to time as far back as 2015 when I was still a youngin'. Can't believe I have come across the guy behind that blog so many times on Sheena stream and as a DJ on WFMU!
	1:31pm Miss Mei: I've visited that blog too. Good stuff, buddy.
	1:32pm Mr Fab: Thanks, Mr. Oxford! Yes, Music For Maniacs was one of the things that brought me here. Station Mgr Ken and a number of other DJs here were regular readers.
	1:33pm Miss Mei: I love the Spanish pronunciation of Judas Iscariot.
	1:40pm Miss Mei: "g na ba tuh lee nie"
	1:44pm Mr Fab: Miss Mei, where did you get all this unreleased stuff?
	1:45pm Miss Mei: I buy a lot of cassettes and other odds and ends.
	1:49pm Miss Mei: Shout out to Russell, the bassist to this rockin' band! That's my boy :)
	1:50pm zivilars: Hey Miss Mei, just discovered your new show here on Sheena's – this sounds awesome, thanks!
	1:50pm Miss Mei: Timmy-Boo up next!
	1:52pm Mr Fab: i am literally LOL-ing out loud to this.
	1:52pm Miss Mei: Timmy is a funny guy with an amazingly disgusting podcast that's been around for 2 decades
	1:53pm Miss Mei: Didtortedview.com/show/
	1:53pm Miss Mei: *Distorted, even
	1:55pm Mr. Oxford: Yes to ukuleles
	♥ 1:55pm Jan Turkenburg: I second that, Mr Oxford!
	1:55pm Miss Mei: Yes to Lyric! Love ya girl <3
	♥ 1:56pm Jan Turkenburg: That was lovely!
	1:56pm Miss Mei: Yours truly on the talkbox <3
	1:58pm Mr. Oxford: "Please Stop Sending Me CDs, AOL" is the best thing I've found this week. I will also say this is my favorite song featuring the talkbox.
	1:59pm Mr Fab: yeah, great tune! i used to use AOL CD cases to house my own music that I would send out. I would also include little collages n things in there along with the CD-R.
	1:59pm Miss Mei: It was recorded by a friend of mine from a few towns over. We recorded an album together but I took it down to re-release with some new vocals done on my part.
	1:59pm Miss Mei: Oooh, this is Emily, one of my close friends from Australia! She has drawn art for my music project a lot, designed stickers I had made :)
	2:18pm Mr Fab: I heard of death metal, but death-rap? Makes sense.
	2:19pm Miss Mei: It's been a thing since the late 80s actually.
	2:19pm Miss Mei: It really started to get popular in the late 90s I'd say
	2:20pm Mr Fab: i was a fan of the Geto Boys in the '80s and they were pretty sick, but they didn't do Cookie Monster-type metal vocals.
	♥ 2:21pm MHLee: Hello miss Mei
	2:21pm Miss Mei: Ahahaha, Bushpig's voice became less cookie monster sounding as he got better at vocals.
	2:21pm Miss Mei: Heya!
	♥ 2:23pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow. I missed the first couple of minutes. You played Neil Dick. That album's insane. He sorta disappeared when CD Baby imploded.
	2:24pm Miss Mei: I'm friends with him. He doesn't really do music anymore as far as I know. I am hoping he can send me more music.
	2:24pm Miss Mei: I am SO miffed at CDbaby for deleting all their shops. Crime.
	2:25pm Miss Mei: This one's for you, Phillie Tanner. :( <3
	♥ 2:25pm Jan Turkenburg: well said MM!
	2:26pm Miss Mei: A lot of music is lost forever.
	♥ 2:26pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow! I cherish my Future Is Now CD. At the time I was irritated that I couldn't buy it digitally but now I think it's worth every penny.
	2:26pm Miss Mei: I have the CD too. It's on display.
	♥ 2:27pm Rich in Washington: Yeah. There were some real treasures there.
	♥ 2:27pm MHLee: @MissMei I'm in a discord for solving unknown songs (we have recording but don't know them) and between Myspace and MP3 dot com a so much is lost
	2:28pm Miss Mei: It's awful how much we lost.
	♥ 2:28pm Rich in Washington: Didn't Neil once have a website where he documented - among other things - his fixation on a member of Three Dog Night who he went to high school with, or did I just dream that up?
	2:28pm Mr Fab: Spacebrother plays a version of the Billy Joel orig of this song where the ackackack part loops forever.
	2:29pm Miss Mei: He did, but it is lost and not on the Internet Wayback. His CD liner notes extensively mention Chuck Negron of TDN
	♥ 2:29pm Rich in Washington: I have an entire album of Billy Joel covers in German sung by a Czech singer.
	♥ 2:30pm Rich in Washington: That was it! The liner notes!
	2:30pm Miss Mei: He did have a site too though.
	♥ 2:32pm Rich in Washington: The Dick CD was among that list of CDs and LPs which were permanent residents of my radio crate. You never knew when you'd have to pull something out like 'Red Sauce' or 'Suddenly It's Springtime' to fill a gap before the next program took over.
	♥ 2:32pm MHLee: There's a 80's punkish band called Invisible Sex that is in some documentary and that's the only recording, the guitarist currently plays in the Zombies.... the singer uploaded like 8 tracks to myspace but they lost it in the failed server migration
	♥ 2:33pm Rich in Washington: That's not the band that was on Urgh! A Music War, was it?
	♥ 2:34pm MHLee: 100% is
	2:34pm Mr Fab: Invisible Sex! The mystery band from "Urgh! A Music War."
	2:36pm Mr. Oxford: Had to step out for a while and now I'm back and witnessing an interesting discussion in the chat on music on the internet getting lost. I grew up on consuming music digitally through streaming platforms. But now I have started collecting physical media like CDs, at least for rare regional music. Because I'm afraid that someday the music online will disappear.
	♥ 2:36pm Rich in Washington: I vaguely remember reading about him/them emerging onto MySpace. Would be interesting to hear other tracks. Their sole appearance on Urgh! was sort of awful but maybe not an accurate representation of their schtick? I just remember consistently FF'ding through that bit as I found it super annoying and a bit cringey.
	2:37pm Miss Mei: Sometimes it does - see CDbaby, MP3.com, Myspace, personal websites where creatives put up their own songs, etc.
	2:37pm Miss Mei: Deleted YouTube channels is another way stuff gets lost
	♥ 2:38pm MHLee: Yup! We also have quite a few taped from radio and station identified but maybe never played again
	♥ 2:38pm Rich in Washington: One used to be able to purchase URGH! as an on demand DVD-R as a special product from the studio/owner, but with Splodgenessabounds scene missing for some reason. Maybe someone else omitted but not sure.
	2:39pm Miss Mei: There were quite a few songs that URGH! chose not to use, so there is more footage from it that we've never seen. IE Joan Jett and Klaus Nomi did more songs on it.
	♥ 2:39pm Rich in Washington: Archive Dot Org is probably the bestest, safest way to preserve something in perpetuity (knocks on simulated woodgrain veneer).
	2:40pm DJ Guin: fap to ya drap
	♥ 2:40pm MHLee: @Rich the guitarist is Tom Tooley who plays in the Zombies now. The singer was uploading to myspace (still unidentified)
	♥ 2:41pm Rich in Washington: Yeah there are two additional clips of The Cramps set and they're readily available on the Tubes of You. Lux and Ivy had a funny story about appearing in it. Like the filmmakers insisting on doing their hair and makeup a certain way.
	♥ 2:42pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, that totally sounds familiar, MHLee.
	♥ 2:42pm MHLee: I've considered running a fill in show where I just play tracks we have not identified, stuff from r/lostwave
	♥ 2:44pm Jan Turkenburg: I think you should just do it MHLee!
	2:44pm Mr. Oxford: Yes to more ukulele.
	2:45pm Miss Mei: That's me playing(adequately), it's from 2017.
	2:46pm Mr. Oxford: You sound great on the uke Miss Mei!
	♥ 2:46pm Jan Turkenburg: Mis Mei, go into your comment editor and remove 'poorly', that's an order!
	2:47pm Mr Fab: haha
	2:47pm Miss Mei: :o
	2:47pm Miss Mei: I just calls it like I sees it.
	♥ 2:48pm MHLee: I wish I could play uke. I have two but covid got in the way of taking lessons
	♥ 2:48pm Jan Turkenburg: at ease MM ;-)
	2:48pm Mr. Oxford: Ooh Petroskey
	2:49pm Miss Mei: The last 10 minutes of this program are likely going to cause some people to tune out - unless you're like me you won't want to hear it - you'll see why c:
	2:50pm Miss Mei: Because babbling 4 year olds on cassette = the entertainment I wanna hear.
	♥ 2:50pm Rich in Washington: <turning it up>
	♥ 2:50pm Jan Turkenburg: MHLee, do you have two hours of unidentified stuff? I might need a fill in for FDl this year
	2:51pm Mr. Oxford: @MHLee I took up the uke a month ago and I'm already playing it well. It is easy to play. Trust me. Some main chords require you to only press one finger on a string. There is a chord for which you don't have to press on any strings at all! (the chord is Am7) That is what's so great about Uke. It is easy to learn and play (and loads of fun too!)
	♥ 2:51pm MHLee: I probably have two hours of unidentified plus I can play some of the solved but were super obscure
	♥ 2:52pm Rich in Washington: There was a comp out on Feeding Tube Records called The Weenie Man that was a collection of found little kid's cassette recordings.
	2:52pm Miss Mei: I am so happy Marley sent me this audio.
	2:53pm Mr. Oxford: *I meant some chords on the Uke require you to only press one string. Some others, 2 strings max.
	2:53pm Miss Mei: He explained that when he said "I'm gonna go jump into the toilet" he pictured diving into the toilet. 4 year old him was a genius.
	2:53pm Mr Fab: boy did i pick the perfect time to eat my lunch!
	♥ 2:54pm Jan Turkenburg: lol
	2:54pm Miss Mei: You picked the perfect time to jump in the toilet, actually.
	2:54pm Miss Mei: I am full-on ugly laughing right now, I haven't heard some of this in a while!
	♥ 2:55pm MHLee: I actually would love to get back into it. I picked up a banjo-uke for cheap because I wanted to play jugband music and the someone gave me a uke. I run 3 radio shows at the moment weekly and two more on rotation. That's been my musical escape since grad school.
	♥ 2:57pm Jan Turkenburg: Similar here, MHLee. It's my insanity prevention plan.
	♥ 2:58pm Rich in Washington: Kid's recordings are hilarious.
	♥ 2:58pm Rich in Washington: They're 100 times more interesting that most performance artists.
	2:59pm Miss Mei: "I know, that's why I'm standing up here recording my farts." ~ Marley, 199X
	2:59pm DJ Guin: pot of macaroni farts
	2:59pm Miss Mei: "The real McCoy pee."
	2:59pm Mr. Oxford: Sounds great MHLee and Jan. I completed Grad school recently while working my full time job. As I am growing older, I also feel I need a musical escape (I've started writing music to make my escape). I think we all need a musical escape. :)
	♥ 3:01pm MHLee: I remember when friends recorded over my mothers john hartford tape in 199x
	3:01pm Mr Fab: our own Otis FOdder compiled this: www.comfortstand.com...
	3:02pm Mr. Oxford: Great show Miss Mei! Thank you and see you next week!
	3:02pm Miss Mei: Thanks for listening everybody. <3
	3:02pm Mr Fab: hey it's over, Thanks Mei!!
	♥ 3:02pm Jan Turkenburg: Thanks MM!
	♥ 3:03pm MHLee: Thank you
	🎸 ♥ 4:23pm WR: dad gummit, work dominated me today. Praise WFMU for the archive.

	♥ 2:36pm Rich in Washington: I vaguely remember reading about him/them emerging onto MySpace. Would be interesting to hear other tracks. Their sole appearance on Urgh! was sort of awful but maybe not an accurate representation of their schtick? I just remember consistently FF'ding through that bit as I found it super annoying and a bit cringey.
	2:37pm Miss Mei: Sometimes it does - see CDbaby, MP3.com, Myspace, personal websites where creatives put up their own songs, etc.
	2:37pm Miss Mei: Deleted YouTube channels is another way stuff gets lost
	♥ 2:38pm MHLee: Yup! We also have quite a few taped from radio and station identified but maybe never played again
	♥ 2:38pm Rich in Washington: One used to be able to purchase URGH! as an on demand DVD-R as a special product from the studio/owner, but with Splodgenessabounds scene missing for some reason. Maybe someone else omitted but not sure.
	2:39pm Miss Mei: There were quite a few songs that URGH! chose not to use, so there is more footage from it that we've never seen. IE Joan Jett and Klaus Nomi did more songs on it.
	♥ 2:39pm Rich in Washington: Archive Dot Org is probably the bestest, safest way to preserve something in perpetuity (knocks on simulated woodgrain veneer).
	2:40pm DJ Guin: fap to ya drap
	♥ 2:40pm MHLee: @Rich the guitarist is Tom Tooley who plays in the Zombies now. The singer was uploading to myspace (still unidentified)
	♥ 2:41pm Rich in Washington: Yeah there are two additional clips of The Cramps set and they're readily available on the Tubes of You. Lux and Ivy had a funny story about appearing in it. Like the filmmakers insisting on doing their hair and makeup a certain way.
	♥ 2:42pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, that totally sounds familiar, MHLee.
	♥ 2:42pm MHLee: I've considered running a fill in show where I just play tracks we have not identified, stuff from r/lostwave
	♥ 2:44pm Jan Turkenburg: I think you should just do it MHLee!
	2:44pm Mr. Oxford: Yes to more ukulele.
	2:45pm Miss Mei: That's me playing(adequately), it's from 2017.
	2:46pm Mr. Oxford: You sound great on the uke Miss Mei!
	♥ 2:46pm Jan Turkenburg: Mis Mei, go into your comment editor and remove 'poorly', that's an order!
	2:47pm Mr Fab: haha
	2:47pm Miss Mei: :o
	2:47pm Miss Mei: I just calls it like I sees it.
	♥ 2:48pm MHLee: I wish I could play uke. I have two but covid got in the way of taking lessons
	♥ 2:48pm Jan Turkenburg: at ease MM ;-)
	2:48pm Mr. Oxford: Ooh Petroskey
	2:49pm Miss Mei: The last 10 minutes of this program are likely going to cause some people to tune out - unless you're like me you won't want to hear it - you'll see why c:
	2:50pm Miss Mei: Because babbling 4 year olds on cassette = the entertainment I wanna hear.
	♥ 2:50pm Rich in Washington: <turning it up>
	♥ 2:50pm Jan Turkenburg: MHLee, do you have two hours of unidentified stuff? I might need a fill in for FDl this year
	2:51pm Mr. Oxford: @MHLee I took up the uke a month ago and I'm already playing it well. It is easy to play. Trust me. Some main chords require you to only press one finger on a string. There is a chord for which you don't have to press on any strings at all! (the chord is Am7) That is what's so great about Uke. It is easy to learn and play (and loads of fun too!)
	♥ 2:51pm MHLee: I probably have two hours of unidentified plus I can play some of the solved but were super obscure
	♥ 2:52pm Rich in Washington: There was a comp out on Feeding Tube Records called The Weenie Man that was a collection of found little kid's cassette recordings.
	2:52pm Miss Mei: I am so happy Marley sent me this audio.
	2:53pm Mr. Oxford: *I meant some chords on the Uke require you to only press one string. Some others, 2 strings max.
	2:53pm Miss Mei: He explained that when he said "I'm gonna go jump into the toilet" he pictured diving into the toilet. 4 year old him was a genius.
	2:53pm Mr Fab: boy did i pick the perfect time to eat my lunch!
	♥ 2:54pm Jan Turkenburg: lol
	2:54pm Miss Mei: You picked the perfect time to jump in the toilet, actually.
	2:54pm Miss Mei: I am full-on ugly laughing right now, I haven't heard some of this in a while!
	♥ 2:55pm MHLee: I actually would love to get back into it. I picked up a banjo-uke for cheap because I wanted to play jugband music and the someone gave me a uke. I run 3 radio shows at the moment weekly and two more on rotation. That's been my musical escape since grad school.
	♥ 2:57pm Jan Turkenburg: Similar here, MHLee. It's my insanity prevention plan.
	♥ 2:58pm Rich in Washington: Kid's recordings are hilarious.
	♥ 2:58pm Rich in Washington: They're 100 times more interesting that most performance artists.
	2:59pm Miss Mei: "I know, that's why I'm standing up here recording my farts." ~ Marley, 199X
	2:59pm DJ Guin: pot of macaroni farts
	2:59pm Miss Mei: "The real McCoy pee."
	2:59pm Mr. Oxford: Sounds great MHLee and Jan. I completed Grad school recently while working my full time job. As I am growing older, I also feel I need a musical escape (I've started writing music to make my escape). I think we all need a musical escape. :)
	♥ 3:01pm MHLee: I remember when friends recorded over my mothers john hartford tape in 199x
	3:01pm Mr Fab: our own Otis FOdder compiled this: www.comfortstand.com...
	3:02pm Mr. Oxford: Great show Miss Mei! Thank you and see you next week!
	3:02pm Miss Mei: Thanks for listening everybody. <3
	3:02pm Mr Fab: hey it's over, Thanks Mei!!
	♥ 3:02pm Jan Turkenburg: Thanks MM!
	♥ 3:03pm MHLee: Thank you
	🎸 ♥ 4:23pm WR: dad gummit, work dominated me today. Praise WFMU for the archive.
