	9:05pm Ellen Lovebug: Lots of Ray Bradbury, then?
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm Kat in Chicago: I gotta finish packing but I'll turn this up
	9:05pm Ellen Lovebug: Have you seen the comedy video, F*** Me, Ray Bradbury? It's amusing. It's by the girl who went on to produce Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, which I still have to get around to watching someday.
	♥ 9:06pm Scott67: 💪😎🤙 I'm robust!
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: Haven't seen that one, Ellen. But there's a lot of things I haven't seen. I'm a radio person, really.
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Krys O.: A Can cover?
	9:08pm Ellen Lovebug: I'm a book person, mostly, Austin. Starting to get into audiobooks, though, to give my eyes some rest
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: Either that, or heavily inspired by. I know there's several periods in their career where they go full CAN.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: Yeah. Audiobooks are very cool. I quite like that.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: "Young Science Fiction Writers." Ha!
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: I didn't see you in the chat there, Kat! Good luck packing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Austin Rich: I ADORE Raymond Scott.
	9:15pm Otis: Me too, this was the comp that turned me on to Raymond 30 years ago. Time flies.
	9:17pm Otis: This box is amazing too, Brain in a Box!
	9:18pm xapnomapcase1: I like zines.
	9:19pm xapnomapcase1: Just use my name. It's ok.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Krys O.: For your amusement after the show, here is a link to the Raymond Scott tribute show at the Bottom Line in 1996. It was filmed by Scott's son Stan Warnow: youtu.be...
	9:22pm Otis: This mix reminds me of listening to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. Sounding great!
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: I've probably listened to Douglas Adams read all five of the Hitchhiker's book endlessly. It was the only set of tapes I had for the longest time.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: Krys: I need to check that out!
	9:22pm Otis: Oh nice, will check that out Krys, thanks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Krys O.: I had that War of the Worlds too, Otis. Oolahhhhhhh!
	9:23pm ramencity: Greg Sage follows me around like a life soundtrack
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: I need to listen to that War of the Worlds. I've heard about it, but I've never sat down a listened.
	9:24pm xapnomapcase1: That's Douglas Adams? Awesome.
	9:24pm xapnomapcase1: I took it as just crediting the author...
	9:24pm Ellen Lovebug: I used to fall asleep to Doug Adams reading his books. My dad got the albums from the library and recorded the vinyl onto cassette for me
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: If this isn't enough evidence to check out Greg Sage's solo records, I urge you to do so! They are all great.
	9:24pm Otis: Austin, that record is you and you are that record.
	9:25pm Ellen Lovebug: Peggy Lee's voice is unmistakeable
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: I suspect I will love that record, Otis. I just haven't had a chance. ramencity: great to see you in the chat! Hooray!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: I do love this Peggy Lee collection. I've been meaning to work more songs into shows.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: The Damned are on my "The Best Band Of All Time" list. I love MOST of their stuff. Mostly.
	9:28pm xapnomapcase1: Do you like Strawberries era? It's not as underrated as the Gothy stuff, but people sleep on it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: That era isn't bad. They usually have a few hits here and there, even on the "bad" albums.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: (Sort of like the Ramones.)
	9:30pm xapnomapcase1: I don't know. i've been re-evaluating later Ramones, and it's not bad.
	9:30pm xapnomapcase1: imho, obviously.
	9:30pm ramencity: Cabbies On Crack!
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: That's what I'm saying: I think there's good songs in those "bad" albums, but a lot of people just write them off.
	9:31pm xapnomapcase1: God, I haven't heard anything from Daydream Nation in decades.
	9:32pm Ellen Lovebug: I saw Sonic Youth in Portland during the Goo tour
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: I'm a sucker of Sonic Youth. I remember buying this just before I moved to Portland, and then thinking this album was very "me in Portland." I would walk to work, listening to this album on tape. I felt very grown up.
	9:32pm xapnomapcase1: Re: "bad" albums, that's fair. I disagree with the people who think there are "bad" Ramones albums.
	9:33pm Mr Fab: I revisited "Daydream Nation" a few years ago - held up great.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: I think you're right about the "bad" albums. All of of "bad" albums are really misunderstood, or for a different crowd. I think Sheena is full of listeners who love "bad" albums.
	9:34pm xapnomapcase1: Sonic Youth was a mixtape band for me for sure.
	9:34pm ramencity: "Brain Drain" is a slog but I heart me some "Halfway to Sanity"
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: Brain Drain was specifically the album I was thinking of, @Ramencity! Ha! But I have a soft spot for it, too.
	9:35pm Mr Fab: agree re: the Ramones - there are still def gems scattered thru-out their later albums.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Austin Rich: I should re-cut this bit for a Sheena drop.
	♥ 9:37pm Scott67: Ooohh!
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: This is actually what it feels like to have insomnia.
	♥ 9:41pm drowsy: Hey Austin and mutant fam. That No Age was a vibe I could ride for a long while. Thanks man!
	♥ 9:42pm drowsy: grabbin it! noage.bandcamp.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: I mistimed that one! Whoops!
	9:44pm Heather: Hi everyone! I'm tuned in but waving my arms wildly at another project! The show sounds entirely great, as always!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: I guess that's how you know it's live...
	♥ 9:48pm drowsy: Hey Krys O - I don't remember if I thanked you for the good Sesame Street show. Thanks!
	9:49pm Mr Fab: I have my homemade "What Would Hüsker Dü?" bumpersticker on the fridge (as I no longer have a car)
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: You know, I've never actually reversed this song to see what it sounds like forward.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: I love that, Mr. Fab! I would take one, if you ever make more.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: Somewhere, buried on a hard drive, I have two camera video and audio of a full Appendixes show that I shot. I just haven't gotten around to editing it...
	♥ 9:53pm Scott67: Kudos Fab! A carless LA boy! Not a common breed! 🍻😎🤙
	♥ 9:53pm drowsy: Austin, I can't wait to see where this Old Timey Radio thing ultimately takes you, or where you take it. I feel it is evolving.
	9:54pm Ellen Lovebug: I love Sesame Street! Taught myself to read with it before kindergarten
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: @drowsy: I have to say, I get all my chops from Don Joyce, and listening to old Over The Edge episodes. That's really my inspiration for most of my radio work, now.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: I'm a huge sucker for Nilsson. I hope no one else minds.
	9:55pm Ellen Lovebug: This is new to me, and pretty
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Aitch: loving set, lurking. Nilsson so very good
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: I think you would love Nilsson, Ellen. He's very eccentric, in a great way.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: Nice to see you in the chat, Aitch. Thanks for listening.
	9:57pm Otis: Still here too finishing up a deadline so tuned but fingers are doing the walking on another monitor.
	9:58pm ramencity: proto-Space Unicorn!
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: Rise Over Run is the band that pre-dated a band called "Gordon Taylor," which had @ramencity in it. They later re-worked this song, but here's the original, live on my show from WAY back when.
	9:59pm ramencity: I've not heard this in donkeys...
	♥ 9:59pm Scott67: Lovin this trip Austin! Good medicine mate! 🍻😎🤙
	10:00pm Ellen Lovebug: Thanks for the tip, I'll scope him out!
	10:01pm ramencity: Mashed potato, HEY! Sweet potato. Baked potato, potato CHIP
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: Thanks @Scott67. Hopefully you'll be right as rain soon!
	10:02pm ramencity: "Hey Mr. Sidewalk, how'd you get so long? Do you mind being uder me?"
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm Austin Rich: @ramencity: we should record our tribute record to Brak.
	♥ 10:03pm Scott67: A mate is dropping a 5 pack of RATs past later. So fingers crossed. But I prefer Mice. 🍻😎🤙🐀🐁
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Austin Rich: I used to stalk the bass player of Last of the Juanitas. But she was stubbornly with someone else almost all the time. It was weird.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Aitch: Something Wicked this way comes
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: I DJ'd a wedding many, many years ago, where the Evolutionary Jass Band was the band for the wedding. It was an epic party, and I was rewarded with a LOT of bourbon for my services.
	♥ 10:07pm Scott67: Jass; is that like Jizz, but with the other hand?
	10:09pm Ellen Lovebug: I like the narrator's voice. It has that twinge of ominousness that fits the material
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: I forgot how much I loved this album when it came out. I need to relisten.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: The sound is a little rough on this "Dimension X" episode, but I think I've done my best to adjust it, with EQ and noise reduction, etc. Hopefully a little odd background noise doesn't detract too much.
	10:18pm Otis: Never can have too much can, in the can.
	♥ 10:19pm Scott67: I'm having a can now, because I can! 🍻😎🤙
	10:20pm ramencity: Ha, I almost wrote a minute ago that you should play "Bomb the Mars Hotel" by Eleventh Dream Day...
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: The way I see it: everyone loves to have their hand on a can.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: I went another direction, @ramencity. Though I owe my love of Eleventh Dream Day to you!
	10:21pm Ellen Lovebug: There's actually a Grateful Dead album called From the Mars Hotel
	10:21pm ramencity: @Ellen, yeah, I think it's a snarky reference on their part...
	10:23pm Ellen Lovebug: Hahahaha yeah apparently it's a direct dig, looking at these lyricsNo more traveling microbus hordes Taking over time No more tie-dyed underwear No more dancing bears
	10:24pm Ellen Lovebug: Anyway I love you all, I have to get back to work, hope to see you Monday for Box 13
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Austin Rich: I wrote a paper in college about Link Wray, and it earned me a date with the teacher's aid, who loved it. But the date never lead anywhere further. We didn't click, unfortunately. But the paper on Link Wray was good.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: Good night Ellen!
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Austin Rich: I say "Self-Released," but this were part of an mp3 blog that doesn't exist anymore, from France, that was presented original research, and offering "chronological" downloads of different punk singles, organized by region. A huge effort, full of omissions, but had a TON of amazing stuff... and the blog just disappeared one day. But I got a ton of great stuff before it did.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: I got this exact record from @ramencity.
	10:29pm ramencity: I vaguely remember it!
	10:29pm Mr. X: Oh man, I've been missing some choice cuts! Hi Austin and fellow Mutineers!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Austin Rich: Good hello, Mr. X!
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: I read a hilarious essay by the lead of "The Memphis Goons" who claimed that it was an essential piece of rock and roll history... and at the time of the essay, nothing had ever been released because it was only available on home tapes. Then this single came out... and later the whole "album." it's about as good as this song, for those who are curious...
	10:35pm ramencity: Comsat Angels guy is still making music: https://stephenfellows.bandcamp.com/album/slow-glass
	10:41pm Otis: Departing into the night, thanks for the songs and media Austin. Cheers all!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: Coachwhips released one of the most amazing live videos - all recorded at house parties - and you can barely heard the sound on any of the performances. (And, often, you can't really see the band.) It's amazing. They used to also do all covers under the name Roachclips, which I also adore. Good night Otis! See you next time!
	♥ 10:42pm Scott67: Seeya Otis! 😎🤙
	10:45pm Mr. X: Disco-style bass pops.
	10:45pm ramencity: Yup, if you play Zen Arcade, ya gotta follow up in hour 2 w/ Double Nickels..
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: I didn't make that connection, but you are totally right, @ramencity.
	♥ 10:47pm drowsy: This is a triumphant mix/mash. Glad I stayed up for this. Good night Austin and Scott, otis, Ellen, Ramencity, Aitch and all ya'lls.
	10:47pm ramencity: Nighty night!
	♥ 10:48pm Scott67: G'night drowsy! 😎🤙
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: @Mr. X and I are devising a show were we use a musical bathysphere, and we plum the depths of some strange parts of the Mid-Valley. Plus, we have a travelogue show coming, too. And I think @ramencity and I will be doing a show together, soon. Lots coming soon, on the show!
	10:48pm Mr. X: KC proves they can play soft rock.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Austin Rich: That first KC album has a lot of different genres on it. Depending on your interest, it's a blueprint for a lot of sub-genres.
	10:51pm Mr. X: I've always wanted my own bathysphere.
	10:53pm ramencity: One of my favorite words to pronounce is 'bathysphere'
	♥ 10:55pm Scott67: Thanks Austin, terrific! 🍻😎🤙
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: I had fun with this one! Get well soon, @Scott67 and @ramencity! And hopefully we'll all be less angry with American Politics next week.
	10:58pm Mr. X: Another cool show, soon to be a classic. Thanks Austin.
	10:58pm ramencity: Moo moo buckaroo!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: Thanks, Mr. X! My only regret is that I couldn't give more of my time to making great radio.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: @ramencity: "Yeah, chirp."

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from May 3, 2022

View austinrich's profile

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

Tuesday 9 - 11pm (EDT) | On WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room

	9:19pm xapnomapcase1: Just use my name. It's ok.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Krys O.: For your amusement after the show, here is a link to the Raymond Scott tribute show at the Bottom Line in 1996. It was filmed by Scott's son Stan Warnow: youtu.be...
	9:22pm Otis: This mix reminds me of listening to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. Sounding great!
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: I've probably listened to Douglas Adams read all five of the Hitchhiker's book endlessly. It was the only set of tapes I had for the longest time.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: Krys: I need to check that out!
	9:22pm Otis: Oh nice, will check that out Krys, thanks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Krys O.: I had that War of the Worlds too, Otis. Oolahhhhhhh!
	9:23pm ramencity: Greg Sage follows me around like a life soundtrack
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: I need to listen to that War of the Worlds. I've heard about it, but I've never sat down a listened.
	9:24pm xapnomapcase1: That's Douglas Adams? Awesome.
	9:24pm xapnomapcase1: I took it as just crediting the author...
	9:24pm Ellen Lovebug: I used to fall asleep to Doug Adams reading his books. My dad got the albums from the library and recorded the vinyl onto cassette for me
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: If this isn't enough evidence to check out Greg Sage's solo records, I urge you to do so! They are all great.
	9:24pm Otis: Austin, that record is you and you are that record.
	9:25pm Ellen Lovebug: Peggy Lee's voice is unmistakeable
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: I suspect I will love that record, Otis. I just haven't had a chance. ramencity: great to see you in the chat! Hooray!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: I do love this Peggy Lee collection. I've been meaning to work more songs into shows.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: The Damned are on my "The Best Band Of All Time" list. I love MOST of their stuff. Mostly.
	9:28pm xapnomapcase1: Do you like Strawberries era? It's not as underrated as the Gothy stuff, but people sleep on it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: That era isn't bad. They usually have a few hits here and there, even on the "bad" albums.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: (Sort of like the Ramones.)
	9:30pm xapnomapcase1: I don't know. i've been re-evaluating later Ramones, and it's not bad.
	9:30pm xapnomapcase1: imho, obviously.
	9:30pm ramencity: Cabbies On Crack!
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: That's what I'm saying: I think there's good songs in those "bad" albums, but a lot of people just write them off.
	9:31pm xapnomapcase1: God, I haven't heard anything from Daydream Nation in decades.
	9:32pm Ellen Lovebug: I saw Sonic Youth in Portland during the Goo tour
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: I'm a sucker of Sonic Youth. I remember buying this just before I moved to Portland, and then thinking this album was very "me in Portland." I would walk to work, listening to this album on tape. I felt very grown up.
	9:32pm xapnomapcase1: Re: "bad" albums, that's fair. I disagree with the people who think there are "bad" Ramones albums.
	9:33pm Mr Fab: I revisited "Daydream Nation" a few years ago - held up great.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: I think you're right about the "bad" albums. All of of "bad" albums are really misunderstood, or for a different crowd. I think Sheena is full of listeners who love "bad" albums.
	9:34pm xapnomapcase1: Sonic Youth was a mixtape band for me for sure.
	9:34pm ramencity: "Brain Drain" is a slog but I heart me some "Halfway to Sanity"
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: Brain Drain was specifically the album I was thinking of, @Ramencity! Ha! But I have a soft spot for it, too.
	9:35pm Mr Fab: agree re: the Ramones - there are still def gems scattered thru-out their later albums.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Austin Rich: I should re-cut this bit for a Sheena drop.
	♥ 9:37pm Scott67: Ooohh!
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: This is actually what it feels like to have insomnia.
	♥ 9:41pm drowsy: Hey Austin and mutant fam. That No Age was a vibe I could ride for a long while. Thanks man!
	♥ 9:42pm drowsy: grabbin it! noage.bandcamp.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: I mistimed that one! Whoops!
	9:44pm Heather: Hi everyone! I'm tuned in but waving my arms wildly at another project! The show sounds entirely great, as always!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: I guess that's how you know it's live...
	♥ 9:48pm drowsy: Hey Krys O - I don't remember if I thanked you for the good Sesame Street show. Thanks!
	9:49pm Mr Fab: I have my homemade "What Would Hüsker Dü?" bumpersticker on the fridge (as I no longer have a car)
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: You know, I've never actually reversed this song to see what it sounds like forward.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: I love that, Mr. Fab! I would take one, if you ever make more.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: Somewhere, buried on a hard drive, I have two camera video and audio of a full Appendixes show that I shot. I just haven't gotten around to editing it...
	♥ 9:53pm Scott67: Kudos Fab! A carless LA boy! Not a common breed! 🍻😎🤙
	♥ 9:53pm drowsy: Austin, I can't wait to see where this Old Timey Radio thing ultimately takes you, or where you take it. I feel it is evolving.
	9:54pm Ellen Lovebug: I love Sesame Street! Taught myself to read with it before kindergarten
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: @drowsy: I have to say, I get all my chops from Don Joyce, and listening to old Over The Edge episodes. That's really my inspiration for most of my radio work, now.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: I'm a huge sucker for Nilsson. I hope no one else minds.
	9:55pm Ellen Lovebug: This is new to me, and pretty
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Aitch: loving set, lurking. Nilsson so very good
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: I think you would love Nilsson, Ellen. He's very eccentric, in a great way.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: Nice to see you in the chat, Aitch. Thanks for listening.
	9:57pm Otis: Still here too finishing up a deadline so tuned but fingers are doing the walking on another monitor.
	9:58pm ramencity: proto-Space Unicorn!
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: Rise Over Run is the band that pre-dated a band called "Gordon Taylor," which had @ramencity in it. They later re-worked this song, but here's the original, live on my show from WAY back when.
	9:59pm ramencity: I've not heard this in donkeys...
	♥ 9:59pm Scott67: Lovin this trip Austin! Good medicine mate! 🍻😎🤙
	10:00pm Ellen Lovebug: Thanks for the tip, I'll scope him out!
	10:01pm ramencity: Mashed potato, HEY! Sweet potato. Baked potato, potato CHIP
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: Thanks @Scott67. Hopefully you'll be right as rain soon!
	10:02pm ramencity: "Hey Mr. Sidewalk, how'd you get so long? Do you mind being uder me?"
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm Austin Rich: @ramencity: we should record our tribute record to Brak.
	♥ 10:03pm Scott67: A mate is dropping a 5 pack of RATs past later. So fingers crossed. But I prefer Mice. 🍻😎🤙🐀🐁
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Austin Rich: I used to stalk the bass player of Last of the Juanitas. But she was stubbornly with someone else almost all the time. It was weird.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Aitch: Something Wicked this way comes
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: I DJ'd a wedding many, many years ago, where the Evolutionary Jass Band was the band for the wedding. It was an epic party, and I was rewarded with a LOT of bourbon for my services.
	♥ 10:07pm Scott67: Jass; is that like Jizz, but with the other hand?
	10:09pm Ellen Lovebug: I like the narrator's voice. It has that twinge of ominousness that fits the material
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: I forgot how much I loved this album when it came out. I need to relisten.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: The sound is a little rough on this "Dimension X" episode, but I think I've done my best to adjust it, with EQ and noise reduction, etc. Hopefully a little odd background noise doesn't detract too much.
	10:18pm Otis: Never can have too much can, in the can.
	♥ 10:19pm Scott67: I'm having a can now, because I can! 🍻😎🤙
	10:20pm ramencity: Ha, I almost wrote a minute ago that you should play "Bomb the Mars Hotel" by Eleventh Dream Day...
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: The way I see it: everyone loves to have their hand on a can.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: I went another direction, @ramencity. Though I owe my love of Eleventh Dream Day to you!
	10:21pm Ellen Lovebug: There's actually a Grateful Dead album called From the Mars Hotel
	10:21pm ramencity: @Ellen, yeah, I think it's a snarky reference on their part...
	10:23pm Ellen Lovebug: Hahahaha yeah apparently it's a direct dig, looking at these lyricsNo more traveling microbus hordes Taking over time No more tie-dyed underwear No more dancing bears
	10:24pm Ellen Lovebug: Anyway I love you all, I have to get back to work, hope to see you Monday for Box 13
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Austin Rich: I wrote a paper in college about Link Wray, and it earned me a date with the teacher's aid, who loved it. But the date never lead anywhere further. We didn't click, unfortunately. But the paper on Link Wray was good.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: Good night Ellen!
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Austin Rich: I say "Self-Released," but this were part of an mp3 blog that doesn't exist anymore, from France, that was presented original research, and offering "chronological" downloads of different punk singles, organized by region. A huge effort, full of omissions, but had a TON of amazing stuff... and the blog just disappeared one day. But I got a ton of great stuff before it did.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: I got this exact record from @ramencity.
	10:29pm ramencity: I vaguely remember it!
	10:29pm Mr. X: Oh man, I've been missing some choice cuts! Hi Austin and fellow Mutineers!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Austin Rich: Good hello, Mr. X!
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: I read a hilarious essay by the lead of "The Memphis Goons" who claimed that it was an essential piece of rock and roll history... and at the time of the essay, nothing had ever been released because it was only available on home tapes. Then this single came out... and later the whole "album." it's about as good as this song, for those who are curious...
	10:35pm ramencity: Comsat Angels guy is still making music: https://stephenfellows.bandcamp.com/album/slow-glass
	10:41pm Otis: Departing into the night, thanks for the songs and media Austin. Cheers all!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: Coachwhips released one of the most amazing live videos - all recorded at house parties - and you can barely heard the sound on any of the performances. (And, often, you can't really see the band.) It's amazing. They used to also do all covers under the name Roachclips, which I also adore. Good night Otis! See you next time!
	♥ 10:42pm Scott67: Seeya Otis! 😎🤙
	10:45pm Mr. X: Disco-style bass pops.
	10:45pm ramencity: Yup, if you play Zen Arcade, ya gotta follow up in hour 2 w/ Double Nickels..
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: I didn't make that connection, but you are totally right, @ramencity.
	♥ 10:47pm drowsy: This is a triumphant mix/mash. Glad I stayed up for this. Good night Austin and Scott, otis, Ellen, Ramencity, Aitch and all ya'lls.
	10:47pm ramencity: Nighty night!
	♥ 10:48pm Scott67: G'night drowsy! 😎🤙
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: @Mr. X and I are devising a show were we use a musical bathysphere, and we plum the depths of some strange parts of the Mid-Valley. Plus, we have a travelogue show coming, too. And I think @ramencity and I will be doing a show together, soon. Lots coming soon, on the show!
	10:48pm Mr. X: KC proves they can play soft rock.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Austin Rich: That first KC album has a lot of different genres on it. Depending on your interest, it's a blueprint for a lot of sub-genres.
	10:51pm Mr. X: I've always wanted my own bathysphere.
	10:53pm ramencity: One of my favorite words to pronounce is 'bathysphere'
	♥ 10:55pm Scott67: Thanks Austin, terrific! 🍻😎🤙
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: I had fun with this one! Get well soon, @Scott67 and @ramencity! And hopefully we'll all be less angry with American Politics next week.
	10:58pm Mr. X: Another cool show, soon to be a classic. Thanks Austin.
	10:58pm ramencity: Moo moo buckaroo!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: Thanks, Mr. X! My only regret is that I couldn't give more of my time to making great radio.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: @ramencity: "Yeah, chirp."
