	♥ 1:04pm Jan Turkenburg: Tuned in! Hi Miss Mei!
	1:06pm Miss Mei: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @1:04 Hello!
	♥ 1:06pm Jan Turkenburg: I like this!
	1:06pm Mr Fab: Hey hey , Miss Mei! This guy's the Keith Moon of drum machines.
	1:08pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:06 Every single instrument on this demo was played by Morris! No working with temperamental musicians for him.
	1:11pm Mr Fab: i def had fun listening to "Have Fun."
	1:32pm Mr Fab: “Studio After Dark” was a groovy little instrumental. And this “Spring Break“ song could be by the Surf Punks.
	1:35pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Ashley Morris (Demo Tape)" by "Ashley Morris" Enjoy the tones of Jerry and his Bar and Grill! After this, we've got some tasty Michael Jackson demos to play!
	1:42pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Someone Put Your Hand Out (1987 Demo)" by "Michae... Stay tuned to later in the song to hear MJ singing while eating what sounds like potato chips.
	1:50pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Chicago 1945" by "Michael Jackson" pretty weird subject matter for a MJ pop song
	1:51pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:50 He's got another song called Al Capone (Unrelated to this one as far as I know)
	1:52pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Willing and Waiting (Writer's Demo for Michael Ja... Michael is NOT in this recording! This is a writer's demo that was presented to him in 1994.
	2:01pm Miss Mei: enjoying some homemade soup and bread this afternoon. Keep warm y'all!
	2:04pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Get Your Weight Off Of Me" by "Michael Jackson" This sounds downright industrial. Probably why it wasn't realised? Could be NineInchNails producing it or sumthin.
	2:06pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @2:04 The song only recently leaked in full! It's pretty good.
	🎸 ♥ 2:16pm Herbie: HELL-O
	2:17pm laurapanic: I'm never usually awake early enough, I have missed this show! Hello from 6am tomorrow.
	2:17pm Miss Mei: ↳ laurapanic @2:17 Still have some time left!
	2:18pm laurapanic: always reminded how much I miss demos, DATs and recordable CDs
	2:18pm laurapanic: ↳ Miss Mei @2:17 I sometimes listen on the archives, too, because your notes are so great.
	2:19pm Mr Fab: Herbie! Laura! You missed a wacky DIY New Wave guy, and Jacko singing about unsolved crimes to a happy dance beat.
	2:20pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr Fab @2:19 I have FOMO, do not worry!
	2:21pm Miss Mei: More demos on the way! After Valeria's tape, you'll hear a couple New Jersey musicians who have an affinity for Spain: Andalucian Eyes!
	🎸 ♥ 2:21pm Herbie: I know - just saw that! Damn it. I'll hit the archives later.
	🎸 ♥ 2:23pm Herbie: ↳ Mr Fab @2:19 "unsolved crimes to a happy dance beat" haha- nice!
	2:23pm Miss Mei: ↳ laurapanic @2:18 Just be like me - Surround yourself in said things! I'm all the time finding demos, CDRs and other such doodads.
	2:34pm laurapanic: ↳ Miss Mei @2:23 I have a bit of collection from my own past, friends and community, of all those formats. Which is nice in itself.
	2:36pm laurapanic: I used to work in studios, using 10 bank tape deck set ups for duplication, laying out the tape covers (like the Andalucian Eyes cover x a million different variations) and cutting (by hand with ruler and blade) the covers from an A3 sheet, folding and putting the tapes together, printing sticker labels, sticking them on. For local self-released stuff, short tuns etc.
	2:38pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Andalucian Eyes (Demo)" by "Andalucian Eyes" Rick seems to have a heavy load...is that BRASS? I guess it cold be keyboards
	2:39pm Miss Mei: ↳ laurapanic @2:36 that's fantastic! If only I was born a decade and a half earlier....
	2:41pm laurapanic: ↳ Miss Mei @2:39 It was a lovely time...I also printed posters for local bands, did CD art and the same duplication/covers process for CDs. Copied DATs. It was also a rehearsal studio, so I knew everyone...Evan Dando used to come in when in Australia as his mates in Smudge rehearsed at our studion. STAR TURN!
	2:43pm laurapanic: ↳ Miss Mei @2:39 i DID ZINES TOO, RELEASED MY OWN COMPLIATIONS, SO i HAVE SOME COOL DATS (oops) of unrealeased stuff by Australian local bands....I have a Sourpuss demo that seems to be pretty valuable (first band for Brodie from distillers, when she was 16). Blah blah, fun fun.
	2:43pm laurapanic: Story time with Auntie Laura is now overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, the kids are bored.
	2:44pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "We're Better Than Ever, We're Ortho" by "Ortho Ph... HOW DO I GET A JOB AT ORTHO???
	2:44pm Miss Mei: ↳ laurapanic @2:43 I made a 6 issue zine a few years ago and gave them out to a couple friends. It was fun but I doubt my health would let me be that creative again. H-EDS does what it wants.
	2:45pm laurapanic: ↳ Miss Mei @2:44 AAaaaah, I see. the bendy breaky exhausting sickness (I don't know a whole lot, so that may not be a great summation - I just want to show I feel you)
	2:46pm Erik-O-Vert: 👋 hello Miss Mei (& care-abouts): “Valeria demos” hits my ‘sweet spot’ within your wheelhouse of delights! Which reminded me of another ‘demo goddess’ that you played on an early show that I’m questing for. So, short of archive digging - i thought I’d ask you first; Do you recall such a female demo songstress? Follows are my Notes to self, (in order to find her voluptuous demo tunes) 👉👉👉 “Find Archive of that dramatic woman who has a 80s/90s cassette of singer-songwriter piano&vocals Demos worthy of Meatloaf & or Laura Nyro but beautifully & floridly Bad !?!”
	2:48pm Miss Mei: ↳ laurapanic @2:45 The one where everyone is like "You're young and healthy! What do you mean you don't wanna hang out with me?"
	2:50pm laurapanic: ↳ Miss Mei @2:48 yeh invisible disabilities are very troublesome in our society...I live in a very autistic household. "What do hyou mean you want to sit in your room? Why can't you speak?" and yes, "why can't you just come to The Thing?"
	2:51pm laurapanic: ↳ Miss Mei @2:48 you rock, I love your show so much. Is in my top 5 WFMU shows so MUCH
	2:51pm Miss Mei: ↳ laurapanic @2:51 Thank Irwin Chusid and the late Michelle Boule. If there was no Incorrect Music, there'd be no Music Only I Care About.
	🎸 ♥ 2:52pm Herbie: ↳ laurapanic @2:43 haha
	2:53pm laurapanic: ↳ Miss Mei @2:51 that show must be before my WFMU time, I've only been here a few years. Irwin is cool. People ofgen suggest other shows when I say I love yours, and there are other good ones. But this one is right in my brainspace.
	2:54pm laurapanic: wow, this is an interesting bracket. are these two different folks with similar names and clown cosplay?
	🎸 ♥ 2:54pm Herbie: Jus Clownin'
	2:56pm Miss Mei: ↳ Erik-O-Vert @2:46 Unfortunately my brain is unable to recognise the description you've provided me. Could be any number of musicians.
	2:56pm Miss Mei: ↳ laurapanic @2:54 Cepillin came first. Pepillin was from a different part of Mexico.
	2:57pm Miss Mei: ↳ laurapanic @2:53 IM stopped airing when I was in first grade or so! Not many of the shows are archived online, though I found a few folders worth years ago.
	2:58pm Miss Mei: Thanks for joining all!
	2:58pm Miss Mei: I have to go scan some cassettes now.
	🎸 ♥ 2:59pm Herbie: Thank YOU!
	2:59pm Mr Fab: oops, Sheena's butting in. Guess she doesn't like clowns.
	2:59pm Mr Fab: Oh! the show's over. haha, thanks mei!
	3:00pm Erik-O-Vert: Ok ✅ thanks anyway - love your show (usually archive listen). IMO, It’s worthy of cultural heritage status. Thanks 🙏 😊
	3:02pm Erik-O-Vert: I usta worship at the audio of Irwin C’s “atrocious music” broadcasting segments!
	3:03pm Erik-O-Vert: Have a precious cassette premium or 2 !
	3:05pm Erik-O-Vert: @laurapanic : your youthful job with old formats cassettes ,DATs, etc sounds fantastic ! & has me reflecting nostalgia mode.
