WFMU: The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from May 10, 2024

Listener comments!
	🥁 ♥ 8:48pm ultradamno: Rich! Breaker-Breakers! Good Buddies!
	🥁 ♥ 8:55pm Aitch: Hey Rich and crew.
	♥ 8:56pm ironybread: "The problem with music is that I own all of it, and yet it still isn't making enough money for me. Music will simply have to try harder." - Spotify, if Spotify were one person
	♥ 8:57pm Rich in Washington: Hi ultradamno! Hi Aitch! Hi ironybread!
	♥ 8:57pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone! Pudding cups all around!
	♥ 8:58pm ironybread: Thank you Rich, pudding is good. Next week I will try to bring tapioca for everyone.
	🥁 ♥ 9:02pm Uncle Michael: I think my radio may be working. Can I get some tech support?
	🥁 ♥ 9:02pm Kat in the chat: I've never really understood the appeal of tapioca.
	🥁 ♥ 9:03pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Uncle Michael @9:02 Sure! (Hands you a hammer)
	🥁 ♥ 9:03pm ultradamno: If you don't have a spoon you can't just DeSantis it
	♥ 9:03pm tom tom the pipers son: hello rich and listeners...
	🥁 ♥ 9:04pm ultradamno: (I think that's from Jailhouse Rock)
	🥁 ♥ 9:04pm Cp304: Hey Rich and peoples
	🥁 ♥ 9:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: RICH! I just tuned in, and the feedback from that song is in tune with the screech of the wheels of the freight train running behind my house right now. At first I thought, "Why isn't the radio coming on?"
	🥁 ♥ 9:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:05 The radio apparently is NOT broken! Hahaha
	♥ 9:06pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone!
	🥁 ♥ 9:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:03 Hahahaha!
	🥁 ♥ 9:06pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:05 I read this as "beneath my house" at first
	♥ 9:07pm ironybread: "The Busy World of RFK Jr." sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com...
	🥁 ♥ 9:07pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	♥ 9:07pm Rich in Washington: Hi UM! Hi Kat in the Chat! Hi Tom tom! Hi Cp304! Hi Wendy! Hi everyone!
	♥ 9:07pm Rich in Washington: Hi pot8o!
	🥁 ♥ 9:08pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ironybread @9:07 love it!
	🥁 ♥ 9:08pm ultradamno: ↳ ironybread @9:07 Ever hear his new wave album? mastodon.social...
	♥ 9:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:07 Ha! I posted that to FB a couple of hours ago!
	9:10pm A➡B (A = hammer, B = radio): Hi Rich, Wendy, ultra, Kat & the rest of the Radio Wrecking Crew! Rise In Power, Steve Albini
	9:10pm davefromtoronto: ↳ Song: "The Old Lady That Swallowed The Fly" by "Flipper" this would make a great lullaby
	♥ 9:10pm Rich in Washington: Hi A>B!
	🥁 ♥ 9:10pm ultradamno: ...which reminds me, the late Charles Bobuck(aka Hardy Fox)'s album of Residents covers (if that's what they are to be called) is now out klanggalerie.bandcamp.com... Also, Optic Sink western US tour dates opticsink.bandcamp.com... Hiya A-B!
	🥁 ♥ 9:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:06 I wish there were subways in Vermont! That's a lotta granite to blast through, though.
	🥁 ♥ 9:11pm ultradamno: RIP SA and DT!
	🥁 ♥ 9:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ A➡B (A = hammer, B = radio) @9:10 Hey A->B!
	🥁 ♥ 9:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "The Old Lady That Swallowed The Fly" by "Flipper" I have not heard this one in FAR too long. What a great track.
	🥁 ♥ 9:16pm ultradamno: And a great Jacy Webster illustration
	🥁 ♥ 9:16pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Chromosome Damage" by "Chrome" cant believe this was made in 1977, this sounds futuristic and out there almost 50 years later
	9:17pm A➡B (A = hammer, B = radio): ↳ ironybread @8:56 Just watch what happens when AI kicks in. Once Spotify develops self-awareness, it'll start acting like a prudish music critic and suddenly drop any music it thinks shouldn't even be unleashed onto the world.
	♥ 9:17pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:16 kick past me for not getting into Chrome way back then.
	🥁 ♥ 9:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @9:16 Agreed!
	♥ 9:20pm Rich in Washington: They were everything I was looking for back then, but then, I had some growin' up to do, as Jack Handey might say.
	🥁 ♥ 9:22pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Rich and all
	🥁 ♥ 9:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:20 Oy gevalt. That's the story of my life. Not just for bands, though. For all KINDSA things.
	🥁 ♥ 9:22pm ultradamno: EM ECKS ATE EEEEEE!!!!!
	♥ 9:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:22 coel!
	🥁 ♥ 9:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:22 Hola, coela!
	🥁 ♥ 9:23pm pot8o: i would say kudos to you all for being around when this stuff was first out, but im assuming when im your age the younger music nerds will be jealous that i got to experience folks like oren ambarchi and gy!be in their prime
	♥ 9:24pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:23 the rub was that it was hard to find stuff back then. Or find other weirdos into cool stuff.
	9:27pm davefromtoronto: awesome set so far!
	♥ 9:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ davefromtoronto @9:27 well, thank you, davefromtoronto!
	🥁 ♥ 9:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:24 Exactly! We had to do things like hang out in record stores and comic book stores, trying to figure it all the fuck out. Oh wait. That was actually really fun. But yeah, it could be lonely, trying to find other weirdos. Especially because the signal-to-noise ratio was so bad. Too many normal people.
	♥ 9:29pm Rich in Washington: I got turned onto Hawkwind by the dorks who ran my local comic store. The guy who ran it and ranted about Hawkwind to me was the dude who started Dark Horse comics.
	🥁 ♥ 9:30pm ultradamno: And trudge ten miles in year 'round blizzards to get to school and that's how we liked it!
	♥ 9:30pm Rich in Washington: flibberty floo!
	🥁 ♥ 9:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:22 Hi Wendy!
	♥ 9:31pm ironybread: I n ever met a new friend listening to music at the record store. But I met lots of great records playing over the speakers.
	♥ 9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: this waves of waves clip was the title and part of a frank o'toole premium w/ beach boys rarities
	🥁 ♥ 9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: I learned about the Butthole Surfers from listening to Wm. Berger's show on WFMU. I learned about the Dead Kennedys... hmm... now I can't remember. A friend lent me "Give Me Convenience" on cassette. Those were the first two "weird" bands I remember liking as a kid.
	🥁 ♥ 9:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ironybread @9:31 Same.
	9:32pm A➡B (A = hammer, B = radio): ↳ Song: "there's a cut-up sample of Alec Baldwin berating ... OMG, I remember someone on YouTube actually made an hilariously juxtaposed mashup/cutup of the Alec Baldwin and Pat O'Brien taped calls.
	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm ultradamno: Weird pretty much started with Buy Or Die for me, I leaned right in.
	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm Uncle Michael: My cat hates you, Rich.
	♥ 9:34pm ironybread: Thank you, vintage self-help record. Thank you for attempting to pass on that self-esteem. We appreciate your effort.
	♥ 9:35pm ironybread: 1960s self-help record guy obviously didn't know about the brain worms.
	🥁 ♥ 9:35pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:33 Well, Ubu may have come earlier
	♥ 9:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Uncle Michael @9:33 LOL!
	♥ 9:39pm northguineahills: UM is just expressing his inner cat.
	♥ 9:40pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:35 They don't wanna hurt anybody, they just wanna live in other people's heads!
	🥁 ♥ 9:40pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:27 but you could also get all your friends' punk demos they recorded in their parents garage and then sell them on discogs for $300 each 35 years down the road
	♥ 9:40pm tom tom the pipers son: actually thought albini would have gravitated towards i am the fly (in the ointment)
	9:41pm A➡B (A = hammer, B = radio): ↳ Song: "Waves Of Waves" by "The Tape Beatles" This was a track the late great FXO used in one of his self-made signature sound collages he played at certain times during his radio show.
	🥁 ♥ 9:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @9:40 I could... if I was cool enough to have punk friends back then who recorded demos in their parents' garages. That was not me. I was a lonely kid.
	🥁 ♥ 9:42pm ultradamno: I remember playing Red Spot for a friend of a like minded friend...about a week later I passed him on the street and he just said 'punk sucks'...that was the internet back then
	♥ 9:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ A➡B (A = hammer, B = radio) @9:41 @9:31 ^^^^^^
	🥁 ♥ 9:44pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Crack Up" by "Big Black" Both their tracks on this are so good and don't understand why they seemed to regard them as throwaways (I mean, did they ever play them live?)
	🥁 ♥ 9:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: When I was a senior in high school, I made friends with this kid, Dave, from the next town over who looked normal, but was actually a freak. He worked at the ice cream store in the mall. He introduced me to Big Black. We'd go driving around in his Jetta late at night, listening to Big Black really loud. I forgot that sweet memory until now. Dave was cool. And I liked Big Black a lot. Still do.
	♥ 9:45pm ironybread: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:40 I really should post the whole Big Little Book of "Major Matt Mason: Moon Mission" one spread at a time. Also, I will not be doing this. #MoonWorms theinfiniterevolution.blogspot.com...
	🥁 ♥ 9:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:31 i may've first heard butthole surfers on Wm. Berger's show ("Bill Berger" then, i think?) but more likely it was Pat Duncan or Paul Cavenaugh. but before that, when "punk rock" was big news in the late 70s i heard mentioned, with disgust, "dead kennedys"...so i went out looking for dead kennedys! i got in god we trust,inc. because it was the least expensive one, and i'm glad that was my first dks record.
	♥ 9:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:45 Oh man. I NEED a Major Matt Mason! I had one and loved it. His arm and leg wires wore out though, in a way which I can myself now relate to.
	♥ 9:46pm tom tom the pipers son: don't really know too much about albini/big black but didn't think they were this early on the scene
	♥ 9:47pm tom tom the pipers son: i think codeine picked up some tips from rapeman
	🥁 ♥ 9:49pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Budd" by "Rapeman" I couldn't get past the stupid band name at the time but I like this now
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm Kat in the chat: Wasn't someone from Slint in Rapeman?
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm ultradamno: The second time I saw Big Black (part of which appears on Pigpile, by the way) they did the setting off of a coil of firecrackers stunt...a pretty ill-advised idea since, unlike the first show there a year earlier, there was a full crowd in the unventilated, let's call it intimate, basement venue that was No Bar & Grill in Muncie, proprietor Jon Rans kept his gong that he used when his band Mystic Groovies played on stage all the time, I remember Santiago wisely positioning himself behind it. I remember Rans' young son Ian bolting for the door, I waited the detonation out and took the opening at the front of the stage the second the opportunity presented itself (the assembled first line of people cursed with an interest in their own saftety having hung back as best they could). There were no injuries, but everyone would observe a certain blackening of their snot later. mastodon.social... mastodon.social...
	🥁 ♥ 9:51pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:50 Sims and Washam were in Scratch Acid
	🥁 ♥ 9:52pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 ...as it says on the playlist, nevermind
	🥁 ♥ 9:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 Yeah I"m getting my bands mixed up
	♥ 9:53pm Rich in Washington: Sims was also in Jesus Lizard, who Albini later engineered.
	♥ 9:53pm Rich in Washington: I often mix up Scratch Acid and Jesus Lizard, for a couple of obvious reasons.
	♥ 9:55pm ironybread: "Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!" #IlludiumQ36ExplosiveSpaceModulator
	♥ 9:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:55 There IS gonna be a huge mass corona ejection slamming into our ionosphere tomorrow.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56pm ultradamno: The first time I saw Scratch Acid I got mixed up with David Yow repeatedly, I chalked it up to wearing a similar plaid jacket that night but when I saw Jesus Lizard how much he looked like my dad was hard to ignore. So much it made me hostile
	♥ 9:57pm TonyR: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:56 First the trees all jizzing all over the place and now this.
	9:57pm LisaBlackBox: SET ME ON FIRE
	♥ 9:58pm Rich in Washington: ↳ LisaBlackBox @9:57 Hi LisaBlackBox! Cool to see you here!
	♥ 9:59pm Rich in Washington: Lisa does the awesome Black Box Radio on WCSB in Cleveland, a show I tune into every Wednesday.
	♥ 10:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:59 I meant Mysterious Black Box!
	♥ 10:00pm ironybread: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:56 Ooh, I think it's actually already underway! www.spaceweather.gov
	♥ 10:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Rema Rema" by "Big Black" have to admit all this big b lack is new to me...digging this the most... thx
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "He's A Whore" by "Big Black" I LOVE this cover version.
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm ultradamno: Five cent deposit
	♥ 10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "He's A Whore" by "Big Black" obvsly impersonating cheap trick in image
	♥ 10:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:04 Yeah, it's a Cheap Trick song. Fellow Chicagoans.
	10:05pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:59 <3 always good to have you along on Wednesdays!
	♥ 10:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:04 yes, just saw on interwebz thx
	10:05pm davefromtoronto: ↳ Song: "He's A Whore" by "Big Black" omg pee wee herman as rick nielson!
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:04 Rockford actually for Cheap Trick. But Illinoise
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm ultradamno: And Kraftwerk on the b-side
	♥ 10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:06 Right.
	♥ 10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:06 coming up
	10:07pm LisaBlackBox: Great tribute tonight, Rich
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "The Model" by "Big Black" Ooh yes!!!
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:06 ...or a side (Harry Dean Stanton voice) a b doesn't mean shit. A song Messer Chups have done also, and a new version of which is on their just released new one messer-chups.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 10:08pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Model" by "Big Black" haven't heard this one...
	♥ 10:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:08 Hi ngh!
	10:09pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:56 I saw somewhere that tomorrow, if we still have our eclipse glasses, we should check out the sun for these solar flares. I'm gonna walk up to the lake in a bit (I live very close to the shores of Lake Erie here) and see if I can see any northern lights action. There is a lot of city light pollution, though... even up by the lake where I am.
	♥ 10:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Model" by "Big Black" takes all the cool distancing of kraftwerk and implodes it
	♥ 10:11pm northguineahills: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:09 i don't believe eclipse glasses are designed to stare directly at the sun. there are filters you can use for telescopes, however. /although, if you're able to block out the main body of the sun reliably, eclipse glasses will work.
	♥ 10:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:09 are you in the zone where you might see northern lights? I think you are. I remember seeing the global map showing the viewable zone. I'm right on the edge.
	10:11pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:05 That is awesome about the radio syncing with the train wheels screech. Love it. Synchronicities like are so great
	🥁 ♥ 10:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:09 Yeah, I'm looking at the NWS Aurora forecast, and aurora borealis might be visible from my house tonight. Then again, I'm not entirely sure how to read the forecast map. www.swpc.noaa.gov...
	♥ 10:13pm northguineahills: usually a bit late for aurora borealis, but this solar flare storm is so massive, there definitely be one...
	♥ 10:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:11 Ha! That's cool! Love radio coink-e-dences like that!
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:11 Agreed! It's a reminder that the universe is a fabulous place.
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm ultradamno: By the way, the final MX-80 album Better Than Life is now available on vinyl feedingtuberecords.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 10:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:12 you're going to have to fly above cloud cover to see anything tonight...
	🥁 ♥ 10:15pm Cp304: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:11 I'm on the edge lotta days Rich.. I just can't bear the fact a solar storm could wipe my yrs of HD archives
	🥁 ♥ 10:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:14 Ohhh... Boo. Did you bring a plane with you? Or maybe some gigantic wings?
	10:15pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:24 Very true. If you didn't live in a city that had good college radio, it was quite difficult. I didn't get into Chrome either back then due to lack of exposure to cool stuff. I opened for Chrome their last tour here - it was an honour.
	🥁 ♥ 10:17pm Kat in the chat: Electrical Audio
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm Kat in the chat: Saw a couple of Shellac shows, very enjoyable and made me like Steve a whole lot better
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:50 ...during this show I yelled for Count Bishops, which seemed to impress him. He asked if there were fans in the audience and kind of mumbled a line of Train, Train...as much as he championed them, it's kind of odd there is no Big Black cover of Count Bishops
	♥ 10:20pm Rich in Washington: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:15 Community Radio fucked me up for normal music forever and I'm forever grateful. Now I'm a community radio programmer and I aim to deprogram as many disaffected, alienated people as possible.
	🥁 ♥ 10:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:20 <3 <3 <3
	10:21pm LisaBlackBox: re: aurora here - Yeah, we are supposed to be able to see it from here - we're on the edge in the green zone. I think if I drove 75 minutes East of here, there is a 'dark sky' observatory where if there is something to see, it will be seen. I don't know if they'll be open at midnight though lol. Viewing supposed to peak midnight-3am.
	♥ 10:22pm Rich in Washington: I likely won't see any cool lights as I live in town now and everything is lit up like Las Vegas at midnight.
	♥ 10:25pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:20 i fucked myself up for normal music... /i'm good at fucking myself up...
	10:26pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:20 SAME! The biggest reason I took classes at Cleveland State when I did was so I could get a radio show on WCSB lol. I am way older than most students, of course, but whatever. Better late than never. I didn't even know something like college radio existed when I was growing up. I moved to Cleveland post-grad school graduation for a job and discovered this amazing wealth on the low end of the dial here (we've got 5 college stations in the region!! whoa). Never looked back. I wanted to do a radio show so that I could help folks get exposure to the weird stuff, things I never had exposure to in younger days. Life changing sound exploration. Experimental/weirdo sound changed my life, ya know?
	♥ 10:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:26 Viva le weirdo music!
	🥁 ♥ 10:27pm Cp304: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:26 Awesome
	10:28pm LisaBlackBox: P.S. your show is rippin' tonight. Great to hear all your selections in tribute. CHEERS
	♥ 10:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "My Disco" by "Big Black" I decided to spare everyone the gruesome cover of this EP.
	♥ 10:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:28 Aw, thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 10:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:26 YES! In 1998, I helped start a pirate station for the same reason: weirdo radio changed my life back in NJ, and I needed to find a way to continue that tradition here in southeastern Vermont. Here's a little bit about it: www.diymedia.net...
	🥁 ♥ 10:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:31 Here's a little more. You just gotta scroll down a wee bit:www.diymedia.net...
	♥ 10:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:31 'Weirdo radio changed my life' sounds like a manifesto if I ever heard one.
	🥁 ♥ 10:33pm ultradamno: Could have gone with the Savage Pencil illustration though
	♥ 10:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:33 it's in the gif I posted earlier but for like 3 milliseconds.
	🥁 ♥ 10:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:32 I have a sort of running joke with myself. Someone will come up with a good phrase (sometimes it's me), and I'll say, "That's the title of my memoirs." Well... "Weirdo Radio Changed My Life" can go on that list, too.
	♥ 10:34pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @10:33 dig ian penman's work...
	♥ 10:35pm Rich in Washington: finally getting around to Shellac.
	🥁 ♥ 10:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "My Black Ass" by "Shellac" Wait. Action Park in NJ?!? This is totally a Plate of Shrimp moment.
	♥ 10:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:35 this song might work to get you to see the northern lights, just become a wingwalker...
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Alex from Media: Hi all, diving in.
	♥ 10:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "My Black Ass" by "Shellac" the only shellac album i have...
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:38 Oh, good idea! If I'm not back in half an hour, call someone.
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Wingwalker" by "Shellac" it was fun to see Albini act this out in concert
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:39 Alex!
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:39 Wendy!
	10:40pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:32 oh hell yeah, pirate radio! I will check out those links!
	🥁 ♥ 10:41pm Alex from Media: Been getting heavy doses of Steve Albini on the streams today. Yet another great musician I totally whiffed on until he was dead.
	10:41pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:39 that would have ruled
	♥ 10:41pm northguineahills: i have to admit i'm more familar w/ shellac than big black...
	♥ 10:41pm ironybread: And remember, everyone: Mertz makes up your mind! It's the little brain-sized tablet from Fridol Labs! (Take only as directed.)
	🥁 ♥ 10:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:40 Thanks! We started it in 1998 when there was no such thing as low-power FM licenses. Our stance was that the airwaves belong to the people, we were engaging in civil disobedience, and we'd broadcast til they shut us down. It was one of the best things I've ever done. I'd wanted to have a radio show since I was 10 years old. I had to help start a pirate station 14 years later to achieve that goal, but I did it.
	10:43pm LisaBlackBox: It totally sucks, his untimely death. Shellac was on the cover and featured in the June WIRE magazine, the new album is dropping in a week, probably live shows here and there... the timing.
	10:45pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:42 That is all so fantastic!! CHEERS!!! you're a hero
	🥁 ♥ 10:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:45 Aww shucks, thank you. :-)
	🥁 ♥ 10:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ironybread @10:00 Thanks! i was just reading about coronal mass ejections. for some reason this site didn't appear in my search
	♥ 10:49pm northguineahills: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:43 reminds me, i just got 5 years of the wire for free before i left FL. i need to get them sent up to VT.
	🥁 ♥ 10:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Be Prepared" by "Shellac" Somehow I missed out on Shellac until... right about... now. But this is great. Including the album title and photo.
	🥁 ♥ 10:50pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:42 I really could've used this kind of programming pre-internet when I moved out of NYC into classic rock hell.
	♥ 10:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Be Prepared" by "Shellac" i faved this on scott william's show 6 years ago...
	🥁 ♥ 10:51pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:49 that's the drummer's dog iirc
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:50 I hear ya. That's another reason why we started radio free brattleboro. 1998 was pre-streaming for us up here. And local commercial radio was/is wretched. In Vermont, you get classic rock hell, or 17 different NPR repeaters. Feh.

	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @10:58 i just thought you were just downing a whole cornucopia of fruit on public transport
	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:58 Oh right! I was not thinking of it that way. I do like a greyhound, although I also like gin and grapefruit juice. But otherwise, I can't stand gin.

	11:03pm LisaBlackBox: THIS SONG hell yes
	♥ 11:04pm Rich in Washington: I can't believe I didn't play anything from Songs About Fucking! What a stoop!
	11:04pm LisaBlackBox: I played the studio version on Wednesday - I couldn't play this one due to FCC rules, heh. This song, though. WHOA. Chilling to hear this week
	11:04pm davefromtoronto: "fish fry" and "songs about fucking" - i'm sensing a connection...
	🥁 ♥ 11:05pm WR: Woke up from a nap and head all foggy. Snacked on some sugar and just realized you must be playing buncha tracks featuring Steve Albini who I only know as a name producer and not familiar with his music until now. He's dead now, so guess it is time to start familiarizing...
	🥁 ♥ 11:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "The End Of Radio" by "Shellac" I was just thinking to myself, "Why does this song sound familiar? I don't know Shellac." Then I looked on the playlist search and saw Scott played it yesterday while I was at work and half-listening. Whadda great tune!

	11:09pm LisaBlackBox: Nah, don't be sorry. We are feelin' it with this one. That is the point of your show: A tribute to share in our collective grief. Thank you
	🥁 ♥ 11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ LisaBlackBox @11:09 This show is like Steve Albini's Second Line.
	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:10 If you aren't familiar: en.wikipedia.org...

	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Aitch: Aurora map here. earth.nullschool.net...
	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: Aww, Rich, you're the best!
	♥ 11:12pm Rich in Washington: I had some FUcking songs queued up but when assembling the final lineup, I completely forgot them! Maybe freudian.

	🥁 ♥ 11:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:04 maybe Steve Albini tribute, part 2? -and maybe a separate 3-hour weekly show of artists engineered by Steve Albini for 1 year...

	♥ 11:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:42 When I did overnight radio, I was tired of the flakey DJ after me not showing up so I told the station manager if he doesn't come in next time, I will put Metal Machine Music on CD on repeat and lock the door behind me. It worked. They had a pretty robust sub thing going on after that.
	♥ 11:44pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @11:40 it was commissioned for the opening in philly, 1968
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:44 cambridge 1969 could do the trick too if you felt particularly evil
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:44 HAHAHA, nice! Also a weapon-able musical selection.

	🥁 ♥ 11:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: This radio show is so goddamned good.
	♥ 11:49pm TonyR: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:49 It's so good... It's so good...
	🥁 ♥ 11:49pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:44 I would threaten to do that but with RSU's 100 Ways To Love A Cat www.youtube.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:49pm Cp304: I'm mixing Judas priest mental meltdown to this
	♥ 11:50pm TonyR: Is the Radio Burning?
	🥁 ♥ 11:52pm pot8o: this is the trippiest sound collage we've gotten so far, and im loving every minute or it
	🥁 ♥ 11:54pm Cp304: I love it Rich
	♥ 11:54pm northguineahills: this was awesome rich! night folks!

	♥ 12:03am Rich in Washington: Goodnight, everyone! Lay some iron filings out for our friend Earth's magnetic fields!
	🥁 ♥ 12:04am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:03 Is that like leaving cookies and milk for Santa Claus? Is that how we get gifts?
	♥ 12:05am Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:04 Yes! our gift is that we aren't pummeled by deadly cosmic rays and get an atmosphere that isn't blown away like a dandelion seed by the sun.
	♥ 12:06am Rich in Washington: I've been reading about that. One of the things astronomers look for in exo-planets is one with a robust magnetic field. It's one of the signs of a potential atmosphere and/or life.
	♥ 12:07am Rich in Washington: G'night everyone! Shutting the lights out and putting the chairs on the tables.
	🥁 ♥ 12:09am coelacanth∅: i've been practicing sitting in upside-down chairs on tables

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from May 10, 2024

View Rich in Washington's profile

The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

	9:17pm A➡B (A = hammer, B = radio): ↳ ironybread @8:56 Just watch what happens when AI kicks in. Once Spotify develops self-awareness, it'll start acting like a prudish music critic and suddenly drop any music it thinks shouldn't even be unleashed onto the world.
	♥ 9:17pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:16 kick past me for not getting into Chrome way back then.
	🥁 ♥ 9:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @9:16 Agreed!
	♥ 9:20pm Rich in Washington: They were everything I was looking for back then, but then, I had some growin' up to do, as Jack Handey might say.
	🥁 ♥ 9:22pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Rich and all
	🥁 ♥ 9:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:20 Oy gevalt. That's the story of my life. Not just for bands, though. For all KINDSA things.
	🥁 ♥ 9:22pm ultradamno: EM ECKS ATE EEEEEE!!!!!
	♥ 9:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:22 coel!
	🥁 ♥ 9:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:22 Hola, coela!
	🥁 ♥ 9:23pm pot8o: i would say kudos to you all for being around when this stuff was first out, but im assuming when im your age the younger music nerds will be jealous that i got to experience folks like oren ambarchi and gy!be in their prime
	♥ 9:24pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:23 the rub was that it was hard to find stuff back then. Or find other weirdos into cool stuff.
	9:27pm davefromtoronto: awesome set so far!
	♥ 9:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ davefromtoronto @9:27 well, thank you, davefromtoronto!
	🥁 ♥ 9:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:24 Exactly! We had to do things like hang out in record stores and comic book stores, trying to figure it all the fuck out. Oh wait. That was actually really fun. But yeah, it could be lonely, trying to find other weirdos. Especially because the signal-to-noise ratio was so bad. Too many normal people.
	♥ 9:29pm Rich in Washington: I got turned onto Hawkwind by the dorks who ran my local comic store. The guy who ran it and ranted about Hawkwind to me was the dude who started Dark Horse comics.
	🥁 ♥ 9:30pm ultradamno: And trudge ten miles in year 'round blizzards to get to school and that's how we liked it!
	♥ 9:30pm Rich in Washington: flibberty floo!
	🥁 ♥ 9:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:22 Hi Wendy!
	♥ 9:31pm ironybread: I n ever met a new friend listening to music at the record store. But I met lots of great records playing over the speakers.
	♥ 9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: this waves of waves clip was the title and part of a frank o'toole premium w/ beach boys rarities
	🥁 ♥ 9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: I learned about the Butthole Surfers from listening to Wm. Berger's show on WFMU. I learned about the Dead Kennedys... hmm... now I can't remember. A friend lent me "Give Me Convenience" on cassette. Those were the first two "weird" bands I remember liking as a kid.
	🥁 ♥ 9:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ironybread @9:31 Same.
	9:32pm A➡B (A = hammer, B = radio): ↳ Song: "there's a cut-up sample of Alec Baldwin berating ... OMG, I remember someone on YouTube actually made an hilariously juxtaposed mashup/cutup of the Alec Baldwin and Pat O'Brien taped calls.
	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm ultradamno: Weird pretty much started with Buy Or Die for me, I leaned right in.
	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm Uncle Michael: My cat hates you, Rich.
	♥ 9:34pm ironybread: Thank you, vintage self-help record. Thank you for attempting to pass on that self-esteem. We appreciate your effort.
	♥ 9:35pm ironybread: 1960s self-help record guy obviously didn't know about the brain worms.
	🥁 ♥ 9:35pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:33 Well, Ubu may have come earlier
	♥ 9:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Uncle Michael @9:33 LOL!
	♥ 9:39pm northguineahills: UM is just expressing his inner cat.
	♥ 9:40pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:35 They don't wanna hurt anybody, they just wanna live in other people's heads!
	🥁 ♥ 9:40pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:27 but you could also get all your friends' punk demos they recorded in their parents garage and then sell them on discogs for $300 each 35 years down the road
	♥ 9:40pm tom tom the pipers son: actually thought albini would have gravitated towards i am the fly (in the ointment)
	9:41pm A➡B (A = hammer, B = radio): ↳ Song: "Waves Of Waves" by "The Tape Beatles" This was a track the late great FXO used in one of his self-made signature sound collages he played at certain times during his radio show.
	🥁 ♥ 9:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @9:40 I could... if I was cool enough to have punk friends back then who recorded demos in their parents' garages. That was not me. I was a lonely kid.
	🥁 ♥ 9:42pm ultradamno: I remember playing Red Spot for a friend of a like minded friend...about a week later I passed him on the street and he just said 'punk sucks'...that was the internet back then
	♥ 9:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ A➡B (A = hammer, B = radio) @9:41 @9:31 ^^^^^^
	🥁 ♥ 9:44pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Crack Up" by "Big Black" Both their tracks on this are so good and don't understand why they seemed to regard them as throwaways (I mean, did they ever play them live?)
	🥁 ♥ 9:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: When I was a senior in high school, I made friends with this kid, Dave, from the next town over who looked normal, but was actually a freak. He worked at the ice cream store in the mall. He introduced me to Big Black. We'd go driving around in his Jetta late at night, listening to Big Black really loud. I forgot that sweet memory until now. Dave was cool. And I liked Big Black a lot. Still do.
	♥ 9:45pm ironybread: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:40 I really should post the whole Big Little Book of "Major Matt Mason: Moon Mission" one spread at a time. Also, I will not be doing this. #MoonWorms theinfiniterevolution.blogspot.com...
	🥁 ♥ 9:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:31 i may've first heard butthole surfers on Wm. Berger's show ("Bill Berger" then, i think?) but more likely it was Pat Duncan or Paul Cavenaugh. but before that, when "punk rock" was big news in the late 70s i heard mentioned, with disgust, "dead kennedys"...so i went out looking for dead kennedys! i got in god we trust,inc. because it was the least expensive one, and i'm glad that was my first dks record.
	♥ 9:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:45 Oh man. I NEED a Major Matt Mason! I had one and loved it. His arm and leg wires wore out though, in a way which I can myself now relate to.
	♥ 9:46pm tom tom the pipers son: don't really know too much about albini/big black but didn't think they were this early on the scene
	♥ 9:47pm tom tom the pipers son: i think codeine picked up some tips from rapeman
	🥁 ♥ 9:49pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Budd" by "Rapeman" I couldn't get past the stupid band name at the time but I like this now
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm Kat in the chat: Wasn't someone from Slint in Rapeman?
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm ultradamno: The second time I saw Big Black (part of which appears on Pigpile, by the way) they did the setting off of a coil of firecrackers stunt...a pretty ill-advised idea since, unlike the first show there a year earlier, there was a full crowd in the unventilated, let's call it intimate, basement venue that was No Bar & Grill in Muncie, proprietor Jon Rans kept his gong that he used when his band Mystic Groovies played on stage all the time, I remember Santiago wisely positioning himself behind it. I remember Rans' young son Ian bolting for the door, I waited the detonation out and took the opening at the front of the stage the second the opportunity presented itself (the assembled first line of people cursed with an interest in their own saftety having hung back as best they could). There were no injuries, but everyone would observe a certain blackening of their snot later. mastodon.social... mastodon.social...
	🥁 ♥ 9:51pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:50 Sims and Washam were in Scratch Acid
	🥁 ♥ 9:52pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 ...as it says on the playlist, nevermind
	🥁 ♥ 9:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 Yeah I"m getting my bands mixed up
	♥ 9:53pm Rich in Washington: Sims was also in Jesus Lizard, who Albini later engineered.
	♥ 9:53pm Rich in Washington: I often mix up Scratch Acid and Jesus Lizard, for a couple of obvious reasons.
	♥ 9:55pm ironybread: "Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!" #IlludiumQ36ExplosiveSpaceModulator
	♥ 9:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:55 There IS gonna be a huge mass corona ejection slamming into our ionosphere tomorrow.
	🥁 ♥ 9:56pm ultradamno: The first time I saw Scratch Acid I got mixed up with David Yow repeatedly, I chalked it up to wearing a similar plaid jacket that night but when I saw Jesus Lizard how much he looked like my dad was hard to ignore. So much it made me hostile
	♥ 9:57pm TonyR: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:56 First the trees all jizzing all over the place and now this.
	9:57pm LisaBlackBox: SET ME ON FIRE
	♥ 9:58pm Rich in Washington: ↳ LisaBlackBox @9:57 Hi LisaBlackBox! Cool to see you here!

	10:05pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:59 <3 always good to have you along on Wednesdays!

	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm ultradamno: And Kraftwerk on the b-side
	♥ 10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:06 Right.
	♥ 10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:06 coming up
	10:07pm LisaBlackBox: Great tribute tonight, Rich
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "The Model" by "Big Black" Ooh yes!!!
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:06 ...or a side (Harry Dean Stanton voice) a b doesn't mean shit. A song Messer Chups have done also, and a new version of which is on their just released new one messer-chups.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 10:08pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Model" by "Big Black" haven't heard this one...
	♥ 10:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:08 Hi ngh!
	10:09pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:56 I saw somewhere that tomorrow, if we still have our eclipse glasses, we should check out the sun for these solar flares. I'm gonna walk up to the lake in a bit (I live very close to the shores of Lake Erie here) and see if I can see any northern lights action. There is a lot of city light pollution, though... even up by the lake where I am.
	♥ 10:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Model" by "Big Black" takes all the cool distancing of kraftwerk and implodes it
	♥ 10:11pm northguineahills: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:09 i don't believe eclipse glasses are designed to stare directly at the sun. there are filters you can use for telescopes, however. /although, if you're able to block out the main body of the sun reliably, eclipse glasses will work.
	♥ 10:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:09 are you in the zone where you might see northern lights? I think you are. I remember seeing the global map showing the viewable zone. I'm right on the edge.
	10:11pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:05 That is awesome about the radio syncing with the train wheels screech. Love it. Synchronicities like are so great
	🥁 ♥ 10:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:09 Yeah, I'm looking at the NWS Aurora forecast, and aurora borealis might be visible from my house tonight. Then again, I'm not entirely sure how to read the forecast map. www.swpc.noaa.gov...
	♥ 10:13pm northguineahills: usually a bit late for aurora borealis, but this solar flare storm is so massive, there definitely be one...
	♥ 10:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:11 Ha! That's cool! Love radio coink-e-dences like that!
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:11 Agreed! It's a reminder that the universe is a fabulous place.
	🥁 ♥ 10:13pm ultradamno: By the way, the final MX-80 album Better Than Life is now available on vinyl feedingtuberecords.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 10:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:12 you're going to have to fly above cloud cover to see anything tonight...
	🥁 ♥ 10:15pm Cp304: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:11 I'm on the edge lotta days Rich.. I just can't bear the fact a solar storm could wipe my yrs of HD archives
	🥁 ♥ 10:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:14 Ohhh... Boo. Did you bring a plane with you? Or maybe some gigantic wings?
	10:15pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:24 Very true. If you didn't live in a city that had good college radio, it was quite difficult. I didn't get into Chrome either back then due to lack of exposure to cool stuff. I opened for Chrome their last tour here - it was an honour.
	🥁 ♥ 10:17pm Kat in the chat: Electrical Audio
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm Kat in the chat: Saw a couple of Shellac shows, very enjoyable and made me like Steve a whole lot better
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:50 ...during this show I yelled for Count Bishops, which seemed to impress him. He asked if there were fans in the audience and kind of mumbled a line of Train, Train...as much as he championed them, it's kind of odd there is no Big Black cover of Count Bishops
	♥ 10:20pm Rich in Washington: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:15 Community Radio fucked me up for normal music forever and I'm forever grateful. Now I'm a community radio programmer and I aim to deprogram as many disaffected, alienated people as possible.
	🥁 ♥ 10:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:20 <3 <3 <3
	10:21pm LisaBlackBox: re: aurora here - Yeah, we are supposed to be able to see it from here - we're on the edge in the green zone. I think if I drove 75 minutes East of here, there is a 'dark sky' observatory where if there is something to see, it will be seen. I don't know if they'll be open at midnight though lol. Viewing supposed to peak midnight-3am.
	♥ 10:22pm Rich in Washington: I likely won't see any cool lights as I live in town now and everything is lit up like Las Vegas at midnight.
	♥ 10:25pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:20 i fucked myself up for normal music... /i'm good at fucking myself up...
	10:26pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:20 SAME! The biggest reason I took classes at Cleveland State when I did was so I could get a radio show on WCSB lol. I am way older than most students, of course, but whatever. Better late than never. I didn't even know something like college radio existed when I was growing up. I moved to Cleveland post-grad school graduation for a job and discovered this amazing wealth on the low end of the dial here (we've got 5 college stations in the region!! whoa). Never looked back. I wanted to do a radio show so that I could help folks get exposure to the weird stuff, things I never had exposure to in younger days. Life changing sound exploration. Experimental/weirdo sound changed my life, ya know?
	♥ 10:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:26 Viva le weirdo music!
	🥁 ♥ 10:27pm Cp304: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:26 Awesome
	10:28pm LisaBlackBox: P.S. your show is rippin' tonight. Great to hear all your selections in tribute. CHEERS
	♥ 10:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "My Disco" by "Big Black" I decided to spare everyone the gruesome cover of this EP.
	♥ 10:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:28 Aw, thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 10:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:26 YES! In 1998, I helped start a pirate station for the same reason: weirdo radio changed my life back in NJ, and I needed to find a way to continue that tradition here in southeastern Vermont. Here's a little bit about it: www.diymedia.net...
	🥁 ♥ 10:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:31 Here's a little more. You just gotta scroll down a wee bit:www.diymedia.net...
	♥ 10:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:31 'Weirdo radio changed my life' sounds like a manifesto if I ever heard one.
	🥁 ♥ 10:33pm ultradamno: Could have gone with the Savage Pencil illustration though
	♥ 10:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:33 it's in the gif I posted earlier but for like 3 milliseconds.
	🥁 ♥ 10:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:32 I have a sort of running joke with myself. Someone will come up with a good phrase (sometimes it's me), and I'll say, "That's the title of my memoirs." Well... "Weirdo Radio Changed My Life" can go on that list, too.
	♥ 10:34pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @10:33 dig ian penman's work...
	♥ 10:35pm Rich in Washington: finally getting around to Shellac.
	🥁 ♥ 10:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "My Black Ass" by "Shellac" Wait. Action Park in NJ?!? This is totally a Plate of Shrimp moment.
	♥ 10:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:35 this song might work to get you to see the northern lights, just become a wingwalker...
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Alex from Media: Hi all, diving in.
	♥ 10:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "My Black Ass" by "Shellac" the only shellac album i have...
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:38 Oh, good idea! If I'm not back in half an hour, call someone.
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Wingwalker" by "Shellac" it was fun to see Albini act this out in concert
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:39 Alex!
	🥁 ♥ 10:39pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:39 Wendy!
	10:40pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:32 oh hell yeah, pirate radio! I will check out those links!
	🥁 ♥ 10:41pm Alex from Media: Been getting heavy doses of Steve Albini on the streams today. Yet another great musician I totally whiffed on until he was dead.
	10:41pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:39 that would have ruled
	♥ 10:41pm northguineahills: i have to admit i'm more familar w/ shellac than big black...
	♥ 10:41pm ironybread: And remember, everyone: Mertz makes up your mind! It's the little brain-sized tablet from Fridol Labs! (Take only as directed.)
	🥁 ♥ 10:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:40 Thanks! We started it in 1998 when there was no such thing as low-power FM licenses. Our stance was that the airwaves belong to the people, we were engaging in civil disobedience, and we'd broadcast til they shut us down. It was one of the best things I've ever done. I'd wanted to have a radio show since I was 10 years old. I had to help start a pirate station 14 years later to achieve that goal, but I did it.
	10:43pm LisaBlackBox: It totally sucks, his untimely death. Shellac was on the cover and featured in the June WIRE magazine, the new album is dropping in a week, probably live shows here and there... the timing.
	10:45pm LisaBlackBox: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:42 That is all so fantastic!! CHEERS!!! you're a hero
	🥁 ♥ 10:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:45 Aww shucks, thank you. :-)
	🥁 ♥ 10:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ironybread @10:00 Thanks! i was just reading about coronal mass ejections. for some reason this site didn't appear in my search
	♥ 10:49pm northguineahills: ↳ LisaBlackBox @10:43 reminds me, i just got 5 years of the wire for free before i left FL. i need to get them sent up to VT.
	🥁 ♥ 10:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Be Prepared" by "Shellac" Somehow I missed out on Shellac until... right about... now. But this is great. Including the album title and photo.
	🥁 ♥ 10:50pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:42 I really could've used this kind of programming pre-internet when I moved out of NYC into classic rock hell.
	♥ 10:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Be Prepared" by "Shellac" i faved this on scott william's show 6 years ago...
	🥁 ♥ 10:51pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:49 that's the drummer's dog iirc
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @10:50 I hear ya. That's another reason why we started radio free brattleboro. 1998 was pre-streaming for us up here. And local commercial radio was/is wretched. In Vermont, you get classic rock hell, or 17 different NPR repeaters. Feh.
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:51 It's adorable! Especially surrounded by produce. haha.
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:52 yeah I'm not sure why all the fruit
	♥ 10:56pm Rich in Washington: I think 'why all the fruit' is going to be the title to next week's show. Them's the rules. I don't make them.
	🥁 ♥ 10:56pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:56 if Wendy doesn't take it for her memoirs I reckon it's up for grabs
	🥁 ♥ 10:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:56 YES! If you don't use it, I have some memoirs awaiting a title...
	♥ 10:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:53 i mean, i usually only put grapefruit in my greyhound...
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm Kat in the chat: jinx!
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:56 hahaha!
	♥ 10:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:56 take it! It's yours! I don't make the rules!
	🥁 ♥ 10:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:57 If I had a nickel for every time someone said that to me...
	🥁 ♥ 10:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Bazooka Joe" by "Big Black" A childhood favorite! Where is Dave now, I wonder...
	♥ 10:58pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:57 (a greyhound is vodka and grapefruit juice.)
	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @10:58 i just thought you were just downing a whole cornucopia of fruit on public transport
	🥁 ♥ 10:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:58 Oh right! I was not thinking of it that way. I do like a greyhound, although I also like gin and grapefruit juice. But otherwise, I can't stand gin.
	♥ 10:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:58 my fave drink when I drank. I still get misty eyed while eyeballing grapefruit. Stupid meds won't let me even enjoy those anymore.
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @10:59 A popular pastime!
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm pot8o: i don't really like most citrus fruits, i normally just stick to berries and apples
	♥ 11:01pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @10:59 snert!
	🥁 ♥ 11:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: raises hand shyly Rich, ya got any "Fish Fry" in there?
	♥ 11:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:01 What's that?
	🥁 ♥ 11:02pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:02 song by big black www.youtube.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:02 It's on Big Black's "Songs About Fucking."
	♥ 11:03pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:03 Oh, hang on!
	11:03pm LisaBlackBox: THIS SONG hell yes
	♥ 11:04pm Rich in Washington: I can't believe I didn't play anything from Songs About Fucking! What a stoop!
	11:04pm LisaBlackBox: I played the studio version on Wednesday - I couldn't play this one due to FCC rules, heh. This song, though. WHOA. Chilling to hear this week
	11:04pm davefromtoronto: "fish fry" and "songs about fucking" - i'm sensing a connection...
	🥁 ♥ 11:05pm WR: Woke up from a nap and head all foggy. Snacked on some sugar and just realized you must be playing buncha tracks featuring Steve Albini who I only know as a name producer and not familiar with his music until now. He's dead now, so guess it is time to start familiarizing...
	🥁 ♥ 11:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "The End Of Radio" by "Shellac" I was just thinking to myself, "Why does this song sound familiar? I don't know Shellac." Then I looked on the playlist search and saw Scott played it yesterday while I was at work and half-listening. Whadda great tune!

	♥ 11:38pm Rich in Washington: It took me forever to find this record today. I'd misfiled it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: OMG I love this Terry Riley track! I played it during my last show on community radio because I was pissed at them. Haha. Whoops.
	🥁 ♥ 11:39pm pot8o: holy matrimony of steve reich and john oswald
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm WR: ↳ Song: "You're No Good" by "Terry Riley" Never even heard of this, Terry Riley doing a mellow Steve Reich-like loop thingy.
	♥ 11:40pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:39 That's a very good song to play during a last show.
	♥ 11:41pm Rich in Washington: I'm also folding the stream in on itself.
	🥁 ♥ 11:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:40 Glenn said I should just put it on repeat and leave the station. I was considering it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:42 Now that I think about it, that was the first of two times I've used Terry Riley as a sort of weapon. hahaha.
	♥ 11:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:42 When I did overnight radio, I was tired of the flakey DJ after me not showing up so I told the station manager if he doesn't come in next time, I will put Metal Machine Music on CD on repeat and lock the door behind me. It worked. They had a pretty robust sub thing going on after that.
	♥ 11:44pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @11:40 it was commissioned for the opening in philly, 1968
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:44 cambridge 1969 could do the trick too if you felt particularly evil
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:44 HAHAHA, nice! Also a weapon-able musical selection.
	♥ 11:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:44 i'd tune in to metal machine music on repeat.
	11:48pm still b/p: ↳ Song: "You're No Good" by "Terry Riley" Marx Brothers flick is on while this plays. Together a recipe of significance and portent and access to other realms.

	🥁 ♥ 11:49pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:44 I would threaten to do that but with RSU's 100 Ways To Love A Cat www.youtube.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:49pm Cp304: I'm mixing Judas priest mental meltdown to this

	🥁 ♥ 12:04am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:03 Is that like leaving cookies and milk for Santa Claus? Is that how we get gifts?
	♥ 12:05am Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:04 Yes! our gift is that we aren't pummeled by deadly cosmic rays and get an atmosphere that isn't blown away like a dandelion seed by the sun.
	♥ 12:06am Rich in Washington: I've been reading about that. One of the things astronomers look for in exo-planets is one with a robust magnetic field. It's one of the signs of a potential atmosphere and/or life.
	♥ 12:07am Rich in Washington: G'night everyone! Shutting the lights out and putting the chairs on the tables.
	🥁 ♥ 12:09am coelacanth∅: i've been practicing sitting in upside-down chairs on tables
