	8:12pm Rich in Washington: Mr. Fab!
	8:12pm Mr Fab: Also, every Elvis in Vegas show starts with some version of Also Sprach Kubrick.
	8:12pm solo mon: Let’s all collectively lose our shit!
	8:12pm Scott67: That Hot Dog Water was just an appetizer. Time for the real thing for breakfast. Or my Bogan Fusion version anyway. Dog in Tortilla with Sriracha. & a beer! 🍺👍😎🤙🌭
	8:12pm solo mon: Yum!
	8:13pm Mr Fab: Now that's what I'm spraching!

	8:13pm solo mon: I’m rocking out to this 2001 while playing a pinball machine that Eric Kilkenny lended me!
	8:14pm ultradamno: I think The Can lost a sense of specificity when they became Can.

	8:15pm ironybread: OMIGOD PLEASE play some Screamers
	8:15pm ironybread: yessssssssssssssssssssssssss
	8:16pm Rich in Washington: Hi Marco! Hi Arvcuken!
	8:16pm ultradamno: Good stuff!
	8:16pm Mr Fab: Holy Spicolli, The Screamers with no loud hiss running thru it!
	8:17pm Cp304: @ Rich, I sometimes will be in the groove on the Machine and Roland and suddenly step on the Audio technica ATH-M50x cord and it totally F's up the timing
	8:17pm ultradamno: Too bad they didn't work in that Twiggy song in this session though
	8:18pm Mr Fab: yeah, or my fave of theirs, "Vertigo." still, wonderful to hear this.
	8:18pm Rich in Washington: I just detangled the cord on my cans so they're laying in path of the wheels of my rolling chair.
	8:19pm chresti: Hi Rich and crate lovers!
	8:19pm Rich in Washington: My kid gave me a pair of AT ATH-M40fs and I am now a believer after years of being a Sony MDR-7056 fan.
	8:20pm Mr Fab: everyone should also check out Spacebrother's special on The Fibonaccis this past Monday, as Sheena's spearheads the LA weird-punk revival.
	8:20pm Rich in Washington: chresti!
	8:20pm ultradamno: For some reason I always imagine djs working from home having everything laid out on the floor.
	8:20pm Rich in Washington: That was a great show, Fab.
	8:20pm Cp304: Yeah, I've done roller thing too Rich, it hurts.. like a scratch on a new Beamer.. and yeah, the AT's got guud sound no doubt
	8:21pm ultradamno: Sounds good. I love The Fibonaccis. I think their New Wave Theater performance is on the you tubes
	8:21pm Cp304: Whoa, will def check that Mr Fab. I've been unable to listen to much this week
	8:21pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah, records laid out on my bed, the floor, everywhere. It's not pretty.
	8:22pm ironybread: Thanks for the tipoff, Fab wfmu.org...
	8:23pm Aitch: That Spacebro was a good show, drenched in Sheenaness
	8:23pm ultradamno: Cipher was another good band in that vein around that time
	8:23pm Don-O: Let's get old Mickey drunk!!
	8:25pm Rich in Washington: this song is for ironybread
	8:25pm ultradamno: I have that comp, all up and down greatness
	8:25pm Rich in Washington: the disneyland song, I meant.
	8:26pm sufferwords: saw all this live- L.A. was ripping- Black Randy’s Jim Jones show was especially rad
	8:26pm ultradamno: There's a great What label comp along the same lines called What Is It, Eyes, Dils, Controllers, Skulls....
	8:26pm Rich in Washington: I have an old Negativland show flyer that has an armed Mickey Mouse.
	8:27pm Rich in Washington: neat to see all the overlapping members in these bands.
	8:29pm sufferwords: Can ‘I Hate The English’ Bags be far behind?
	8:30pm Rich in Washington: sadly, not on these comps, but I love that song.
	8:30pm chresti: I missed a couple shows when we were out of town. I missed the show with Joe Nanini wearing a rat getup with a tail
	8:30pm Rich in Washington: Love the Bags.
	8:31pm solo mon: Love bags!
	8:31pm Rich in Washington: that's cool, chresti!
	8:31pm sufferwords: missed it by ‘that’ much
	8:31pm Mr Fab: Yep, Stan Ridgeway sat in with Fibonnacis, other Wall of Voodoo members played in Nervous Gender, DJ Bpnebrake of X and one of the GoGos was in The Eyes, Paul Roessler of the Screamers was in Twisted Roots with (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member!) Pat Smear of the Germs, then played with Mike Watt in Crimony... I could go on and on. And I fear I already have.
	8:31pm solo mon: Haha jinxies
	8:32pm Rich in Washington: someone owes somebody some coke. I mean a coke.
	8:33pm sufferwords: 50% of the Gun Club in Bags
	8:33pm ultradamno: I remember when Black Randy became Mexican Randy in The Fabulous Stains. There should have been records.
	8:33pm Rich in Washington: I need to watch Fabulous Stains again.
	8:33pm Aitch: This Bags is great, must look.
	8:33pm sufferwords: Arthur J. and the Gold Cups- ha
	8:34pm sufferwords: Black Randy made me the best Kasha Virnishke I ever had
	8:35pm Mr Fab: Alice Bag is still out there, dong her thing. Pat Bag married a member of the Damned, pissed off to England never to be seen again.
	8:35pm Rich in Washington: the guitar on this guns my motor.
	8:35pm solo mon: Alice Bag is in a band w the guy (Seth) that did the Sheena banner.
	8:36pm ultradamno: Penelope Houston, punk librarian!
	8:36pm Mr Fab: Really solo, amazing? What's their band called?
	8:37pm chresti: Black Randy fell asleep in a round chair at our place once.
	8:37pm solo mon: “Cliquey Bitches” is the bands name.
	8:37pm sufferwords: Avengers honorary Los Angelenos because of my almost landed, almost, crush on Penelope
	8:37pm Rich in Washington: Penelope's cool! I remember helping her scout a possible venue in PDX when she was doing a solo folk thing many years ago.
	8:38pm ultradamno: I really liked that -30- single
	8:38pm chresti: Avengers are kickass!
	8:40pm Mr Fab: Speaking of crushes, Pat Bag aka Pat Morrison was a goth goddess. And Jennifer Miro of the Nuns could have given Debbie Harry a run (a Nun?) for her money. Va-va-VOOM.
	8:40pm Rich in Washington: Dinah Cancer was pretty striking and quite the set of pipes. She could really shriek with the best of them.
	8:42pm ultradamno: I remember thing describing Dinah as "being in the Blondie mold", I think it was about someone in The Fuck-Ups knocking her over or something.
	8:43pm ultradamno: Probably in MRR
	8:43pm Mr Fab: paging Kitten Sparkles!
	8:43pm Rich in Washington: That's funny. I remember 45 Grave becoming kind of huge and I think there was a sort of backlash. Baby bird out of nest syndrome.
	8:44pm Rich in Washington: Trouser Press was particularly harsh on them, if I recall.
	8:44pm sufferwords: Crazy, I was in a band with KK, was pals with Tomataaaah, saw the Screaners a bunch, as for the sounds... cool enough but without Tomato going nuts in front of me... more of a document than great music for me but I’m totally digging the new interest in them- they were great live but still The Weirdos were at their prime the best live act in town
	8:45pm Rich in Washington: Kitten needs to do an LA Punk show.
	8:45pm ultradamno: My 45 Grave badge twitter.com...
	8:45pm sufferwords: that said ‘Peer Pressure’ the best!!!!
	8:46pm Rich in Washington: that's funny. Most of my badges have that peculiar water damage/rust thing, even ones I've never worn, just stuck to a bulletin board.
	8:46pm Mr Fab: now that I have a kid of my own, I think how weird it was that I grew up in this. Bands getting 'huge' still attracted very little mainstream attention, so it was like our own fucked-up little sandbox to play in. Essential for growth without nosy outsiders wagging their fingers at us, like what happens with everything nowadays.
	8:47pm sufferwords: through line- Bags - Gun Club - 45 Grave - my act- one Rob ‘Graves’ Ritter foundational bassist- best human
	8:48pm chresti: It's great hearing this through earbuds for the first time.
	8:51pm Aitch: I haven't made time for Population 1 yet, but here's the link. www.youtube.com...
	8:51pm ?: I have kids of my own. I grew up in this. Nothing fucked-up about it. Nothing wrong with nosy outsiders. Isn't that what people do? Used to ride home from work on the bus with Lois, Terry G.'s former spouse. Visited Pat at her department store in Whittier, where she worked the cosmetics counter. Dangerhouse gave me the first four singles before their release.
	8:52pm solo mon: I just realized “bomb Disneyland” by fat white family is based off that Eyes song!
	8:53pm Rich in Washington: That's funny, solo!
	8:53pm coelacanth∅: greetings Rich (iW) and 'lungers
	8:53pm ultradamno: Kids would just be new people to tell me "it's not music, it's just noise"
	8:53pm Rich in Washington: coelacanth∅! Howdy!
	8:54pm ironybread: I could be wrong but I think I'm only hearing one of the stereo channels doubled
	8:55pm HyperDose: Stereo panning softer than a muffin
	8:57pm Rich in Washington: It's a bit panned right. Is that what you're talking about?
	8:59pm Rich in Washington: just went and listened to the stream itself in another room and it sounds normal (as can be) to me. Still sound weird, ironybread?
	8:59pm ultradamno: Hell Comes To Your House badge twitter.com... I've got a Bomb Disneyland Now one posted somewhere, but Twitter's search sucks....
	9:00pm Rich in Washington: But this tape is a bit low in the left channel but that's sort of how it's recorded. It's got some things in separate channels.
	9:00pm spodiodi: " i know how it feels... bad." nice
	9:01pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey-yo, Rich, folks! Loving this Half-Japanese!
	9:01pm Rich in Washington: This is so much less fucked up than the album version of this song.
	9:01pm Rich in Washington: Hi Pauly! Glad you're diggin' it!
	9:02pm HyperDose: Oh no Rich, streams sounds and looks fine on the meter. It's the production that leaves much to be desired.
	9:03pm ultradamno: Fliers from two times I saw them twitter.com... twitter.com...
	9:03pm Rich in Washington: I went and listened on headphones on the stream in another room and it sounds fine. Lots of slapback due to it being a live recording.
	9:04pm Rich in Washington: I forgot about the Moe Tucker years!
	9:06pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hey there, Rich of the south side of Washington! Hi, folx!
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: Hi Baba Bee!
	9:07pm solo mon: Baba bee! I’m meeting up w another bee in a few minutes ;-)
	9:08pm ultradamno: I had this friend in Bloomington who had an effortless way of annoying anyone, after the show was over and they band were packing up, he come up to us just in front of the stage and said "you know what I liked best about that? the didn't do any stooges covers" and I saw Jad Fair's pop up, clearly having heard it, in irritation. I chuckled over that one for some time.
	9:08pm chresti: BABA BEEKINS!
	9:11pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): CHRESTIKINSSSS!!!!!!
	9:11pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): solo mon: a bee of our mootool acquaintance, perhaps???
	9:11pm Mr Fab: half Japanese played at WFMU's first (only?) appearance at SXSW. The Mp3s of the show were (and probably still are) on Beware of the Blog.
	9:12pm Scott67: G'day Mx.BB!✌😎
	9:16pm HyperDose: 1/2 Japanese MP3's: blog.wfmu.org...
	9:16pm Rich in Washington: @ultradamno: the mid-late 80s it seemed like every band had just discovered the Stooges. And Velvet Underground. It seemed like those were the two primary influences for most bands coming out at the time.
	9:17pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hey there, Scott67, how is tomorrow?
	9:18pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey there Scott and Gus! You called it, unfortunately. Hope you and Gus are coping and that the lockdown is working. Sucks...
	9:19pm Cp304: sounds like a sayaunce
	9:20pm ultradamno: And Charmed Life was around that time, which has a Real Cool Time cover, which was part of what made it funny...
	9:20pm solo mon: Yes it Beeee
	9:21pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): solo: plz gives a big hug to the jb bugg!
	9:21pm Mr Fab: HyperDose, that link you posted has a comment from me from 2008 that i have no recollection of writing, haha.
	9:22pm ultradamno: They're good. They have the best Whack A Mole song of all the Whack A Mole songs
	9:23pm Rich in Washington: The WFMU blog is riddled with annoying comments by me back in the day, going back to before I was known as Rich In Washington but went by Chardman. RIP BOTB
	9:23pm ultradamno: It's on the Luminous Bipeds album
	9:24pm Scott67: Mx.BB, cool but sunny Saturday morning here! How you doing? Been a while.✌😎🌏🌞
	9:25pm Rich in Washington: that cover art style looks familiar and it's on the RecRec label. Curious!
	9:25pm Pauly from Clifton: HyperDose, thanks for the link! Good stuff! I wasn't aware that John Moreman played with them.
	9:28pm Scott67: G'day Pauly, sadly yes mate. Do away with masks & you're asking for another wave. But I'm actually fine with lock down . Gus & I areon front verandah in the warm sun, with a cold one. Good tunes & friends here makeit easy. 🍺👍😎🐾🌞
	9:31pm Rich in Washington: I just received word that all my locked down coworkers are supposed to return in July and I'm not happy. I love coming to work and feeling like Chuck Heston in Omega Man.
	9:33pm Scott67: Better move out those mannequins Rich!
	9:33pm Pauly from Clifton: Scott, sounds like a great start to a Saturday! Soak up that sun! 15 here, rainy. Good for my tomato plants, tho!
	9:35pm Pauly from Clifton: Rich, I hear ya! When I sporadically go into the office, like today, I love that feeling! Bliss...
	9:37pm ultradamno: V-Effect are another band I think of when Orthotonics, probably because I bought their album around the same time, and the jazz waviness
	9:38pm ultradamno: when Orthotonics come up, that is to say.
	9:40pm Rich in Washington: Orthotonics have a decided No Wave vibe, which I dig.
	9:42pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Scott67: I have relocated to a place in the woods where the internets are tin cans connected by strings!
	9:44pm Mr Fab: True, RIch, but with a wacky sense of fun that those oh-so-serious artistes on the actual No Wave wouldn't dare. Cool Stuff!
	9:46pm Carmichael: Heya Rich, people.
	9:46pm ultradamno: What? DNA never did a song about a boardwalk arcade game?
	9:47pm Rich in Washington: Hey, Carmichael!
	9:47pm ultradamno: Little known Bill Cosby song?
	9:48pm Rich in Washington: hah! I was just sorting and reorganizing records last weekend and was wondering if I should throw out the few Cosby records I have (which are just the singing ones and the kids n' drugs one).
	9:49pm Scott67: Anyone else getting hungry? 👍💀
	9:49pm Aitch: Lovely Little Girls very messed up
	9:49pm Carmichael: Hey Baba, did you move from that place where you were to a new place where you are now?
	9:51pm Rich in Washington: I just now popped out and made a really quick peanut butter sandwich.
	9:52pm Carmichael: Can’t tell you how many times I have said this.
	9:52pm ultradamno: There could be a comeback any day now. Not a parole, thanks to he himself, but...
	9:52pm Rich in Washington: Aitch, I recommend looking up singer Gregory Jacobsen's paintings
	9:53pm Aitch: Scared I'll like it Rich, but I'll look anyway
	9:54pm Scott67: I'm on the front verandah playing this, & the single mum across the street just brought out her rubbish. ✌😆
	9:54pm Rich in Washington: He also did a great podcast only WFMU show called The Cake and Polka Parade and it was fucking brilliant.
	9:55pm ironybread: www.juxtapoz.com...
	9:55pm WR: connected. now what have i missed so far.
	9:56pm Aitch: I did look, I'm still scared (scarred), but I did like it. I'm growing a new brain-fold.
	9:56pm Rich in Washington: I can just start over, WR! Glad you made it.
	9:56pm Cp304: I like what Fab did with the Cosby kids n drugs on America
	9:57pm Rich in Washington: the super scatalogical ones are really something. Like a super fucked up children's book illustration.
	9:58pm Aitch: Very heavy mushroom trip..
	10:00pm Cp304: it doesn't even sound like you have peanut butter on the roof of your mouth Rich
	10:00pm Yvang: A renaissance man.
	10:00pm Cp304: a true professional
	10:01pm Yvang: He has an art show in Paris since yesterday.
	10:01pm WR: the wfmu show wfmu.org...
	10:01pm Yvang: fr-fr.facebook.com...
	10:02pm Yvang: sorry for posting a facebook link...
	10:02pm spodiodi: cool, Rich!
	10:02pm Scott67: Love his Art Rich!👍👺 I really am a nice guy, honest!!!
	10:03pm Cp304: that switch was on point!
	10:03pm Yvang: I knew the painter and never made the link with the show.
	10:03pm WR: Thanks to the WFMU archives we rarely actually miss anything, just the listening deficit grows....
	10:04pm Rich in Washington: His earlier more drawing style images are especially screwed up. Like mutant fairy tale characters juking each other with vegetables, etc.
	10:05pm ultradamno: Just before Torch I had the TV on in the kitchen, I had the TV on and Sharon Stone did a freestyle rap for Ari Melber. If Don-O really wants his show to live up to the title Hour Of Crap, he should get an audio file of it. So deeply uncomfortable.
	10:05pm Carmichael: Take a bite of your sandwich and say “Aaron Burr.”
	10:07pm ironybread: Wobbly is currently in lockdown in Sydney, preparing for his appearance with Thurston Moore at the Dark Mofo festival next month
	10:07pm Carmichael: My next band will be called Listening Deficit.
	10:07pm Cp304: @ultradamno that def sounds craptastic
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: That sounds disturbing, ultra.
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow. i didn't know he was touring with Moore again! Too cool!
	10:08pm ultradamno: I'm a little traumatized
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: something Phil Proctor posted on FB today made me think of this next track.
	10:12pm ultradamno: I was thinking of NWW earlier this week when I saw someone quote Joe Strummer saying, when asked why there wasn't more live Clash stuff out there, that they often sounded like "seals barking over jackhammers" which I certain is an actual part of a few NWW tracks.
	10:13pm Mr Fab: i so missed The Cake and Polka Parade show, I kept checking back hoping it would eventually return...
	10:14pm Rich in Washington: I really loved host Fatty Jubbo's spoken intros and outros.
	10:14pm Mr Fab: what are Wobbly and THurston doing together? Like, Wobbly plays samples, and Thurston jams over 'em?
	10:15pm WR: 8 years is a long time to keep the lantern in the window, Mr Fab. Perhaps it is time to move on...
	10:16pm Rich in Washington: Jacobsen has been posting some brief mixes on Soundcloud of things deemed 'No Wave' as part of a FB group called No Wave, admin'd by Weasel Walter and others.
	10:17pm Rich in Washington: It's THAT good, though WR. I similarly pine for his odd sounds.
	10:18pm Rich in Washington: My Inner Alex Trebek: Alas The Madonna Does Not Function is the second reference from WHAT famous cartoonist?
	10:19pm WR: Except, what was I saying, Mr Fab, you are in the position, being the leader of an expanding stream jungle, to just go out and get that program host of your dreams.
	10:21pm Cp304: i just look stupid and hear Alex (sega genesis game) say.. boo boo boo.. sorry..
	10:21pm Mr Fab: Right you are, WR! Honestly, I hadn't thought about Cake and Polka Parade for some time, til Rich started playing Fatty Jubbos' stuff just now. Yeah, I should drop him a line and plead on my (virtual) knees for him to return.
	10:21pm chresti: Norman Rockwell?
	10:22pm Carmichael: I’ll take the rapists for 500, Alex. Thats “therapists”, Mr Connery.
	10:25pm Scott67: So hot in the sun I've ditched the T-shirt & jeans. Now I'm out front in jean cut-offs. Like a Bogan Never Nude Tobias.👍😎
	10:25pm ultradamno: Up there with Tobias Fünke's groundbreaking (first ever analyst and therapist) career designation. i.pinimg.com...
	10:27pm Rich in Washington: we started watching Arrested Development from the beginning again. Still so good.
	10:27pm Cp304: curious what the 78 sound like
	10:27pm Rich in Washington: Anybody watching the new Alan Partridge series?
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: I should try, CP
	10:28pm WR: Interesting Scott, you're having a warm day, and here, in NE USA, cool rainy days today and tomorrow. hmmm. seems somehow all connected doesn't it.
	10:29pm Cp304: that was nice intermingle there Rich
	10:29pm ultradamno: Is that Breeders? I haven't but have heard good things. Mr. Inbetween is back now which I love.
	10:30pm ironybread: omigod, I totally missed the Kliban ref live.staticflickr.com...
	10:31pm Scott67: WR, was 1 Celsius overnight, & if I go in the shade I will snap freeze. But our Sun is a Laser down here.😎🌞
	10:33pm Scott67: Rich, brilliant work is timeless. Even with the Sadam references.
	10:35pm Rich in Washington: early Devo lineup when they had brother Jim Mothersbaugh on homemade electronic drums.
	10:37pm coelacanth∅: i was reading about devo today and wondered why Jim didn't rejoin when Alan died
	10:37pm ultradamno: A potential blind date for TG's Subhuman?
	10:38pm Rich in Washington: Not sure. I think they needed a battle tested touring drummer by then. They got David Kendricks, who was in both Sparks and Gleaming Spires.
	10:39pm ultradamno: OK, the sex girls band. I knew I knew that name.
	10:39pm Rich in Washington: I got to attend a meet n' greet thing with that later lineup of Devo at a Tower Records. I got Mark to autograph my first ever Devo show ticket stub.
	10:40pm Rich in Washington: Gleaming Spires sole LP is pretty good. Some editions have a lovely West Side Story cover song on it.
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: noice. i saw devo 3X, all between duty now and new traditionalists but i doubt i have the ticket stubs
	10:41pm Mr Fab: Listening to this I see what Devo meant when they said that their early stuff was "dirge-like." Jerry Casale's fact-finding mission to CBGB's prompted them to speed things up.
	10:42pm Rich in Washington: The story behind this particular performance is pretty interesting. Somewhere, there's a Gerald Casale account of it and it's worth tracking down.
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: I worked for Jerry Casale - twice. He wasn't very Devo in regular life.
	10:42pm ultradamno: There's a great anecdote, maybe from a Search & Destroy interview, about them playing a demo for fellow Kent State alum Joe Walsh and getting somewhat laughed at and ultimately a dismissive "you're either over my head or below it" response.
	10:42pm Rich in Washington: yeah, I think Cleveland and later NY really focused Devo.
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: I'm gonna steal that: "I'm gonna go over your head and OVER it!"
	10:44pm Rich in Washington: They sort of conned their way into the show by saying they were a cover band. A classic Punk grift. Timeless.
	10:44pm ultradamno: They did retain Shrivel Up, at least. Their creme de la dirge
	10:45pm Rich in Washington: I remember hearing an interview where they said Shrivel Up was a early fan favorite. the entire audience would just hit the floor and writhe like worms.
	10:45pm ultradamno: Do the shrivel!
	10:46pm Rich in Washington: Hi Franco! Jerry's really involved in art and architecture and his line of wines, from what I gather.
	10:46pm Rich in Washington: he's also the one that wants to keep 'the band' together, whereas Mark is kinda lukewarm on Devo stuff now.
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: just another way of admitting he might not get it. he probably admitted it at some point; unless he turned into an eagle...
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: (^Joe Walsh)
	10:47pm ultradamno: I've always love Motherspaugh got fired from a movie called Whip It.
	10:48pm Rich in Washington: I think a lot of it is money. The only way a band can make money anymore is by song publishing and touring.
	10:48pm Rich in Washington: Oh, that's funny!
	10:48pm ultradamno: By the damn firestarter herself www.twentyfourbit.com...
	10:49pm Rich in Washington: Selling out for loads of money is kind of Devo. Being excluded from something you inspired is VERY Devo.
	10:49pm Franco Twinkie: Rich, when I worked for him he was a director of TV commercials. He would come to work in a tailored space suit, and was basically unapproachable.
	10:50pm ultradamno: And because SHE was being unprofessional is even more so!
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: seems to me Drew was being a spoiled brat
	10:52pm Rich in Washington: Might go over a teensy bit to finish out my set.
	10:52pm Scott67: FRANCOOOO!!!✌😎
	10:52pm Rich in Washington: My impression at the signing thing I went to - Jerry could give a shit - Mark seemed very kind although shy.
	10:54pm ultradamno: How did The Dead Boys never cover this? I'm imagining a medley with "Caught With The Meat..."
	10:54pm Scott67: When are you just gonna say fuckit one day Rich; & stay on playing stuff while we all get wasted together?
	10:55pm Rich in Washington: and now that I think of it, Alan Meyers quit because he didn't dig touring and by that time, had no actual creative input - was replaced by a drum machine on albums, so for touring, they found the Sparks drummer.
	10:56pm Cp304: well, thanks for the lesson Rich and Peeps.. love you all!
	10:56pm Rich in Washington: similar story with guitarist Bob 1. He sorta fell off the deep end and had little creative involvement short of touring. Mark and Jerry wanted to eliminate guitars altogether.
	10:56pm Franco Twinkie: But having said that, When I first saw Devo in 1977 they were so far ahead of everybody else. They really knew how to command the stage when some of the bands they played with were still trying to figure out how to plug in their equipment.
	10:56pm Rich in Washington: I'm a big dork for Devo.
	10:57pm Franco Twinkie: I can tell.
	10:57pm Rich in Washington: Kitten Sparkles told us this cool story of meeting The Residents and they told him to check out this new band called Devo.
	10:57pm Mr Fab: Franco! Got my shirt early this week and wore it for like three days straight.
	10:58pm Rich in Washington: I wore mine for a couple of days straight too!
	10:58pm Cp304: i would not know what devo was unless my Mom bought the album with crack that whip on it.. prob influenced by her brother
	10:58pm Rich in Washington: And my wife really loves it and that's rare - she hates almost all my shirts
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: i thought Meyers rejoined in the 90s am i mistaken?
	10:58pm Franco Twinkie: You guys are too kind.
	10:59pm Mr Fab: Ha, the idea of my mom ever buying a Devo album..
	10:59pm Carmichael: Just came back from beer drinking. I adore Devo.
	10:59pm Franco Twinkie: I wish I had been in on the punk-a-thon earlier.
	10:59pm ironybread: Ever since I've heard that notorious Suicide live show opening for Elvis Costello, I've been waiting for a recording of a live show where the band DEFEATED the audience.
	11:00pm HyperDose: "Full set worked for me, and good stuff it was indeed, thanks!" 🎩😉
	11:00pm Cp304: I discovered it in her whicker basket record thingy back in the 80's Fab
	11:00pm spodiodi: 🍺 nice Devo stuff, Rich
	11:00pm Carmichael: What about Larry Love and the band Dove?
	11:01pm chresti: Thanks Rich!
	11:01pm Scott67: 4 more hours, 4 more hours!!!.......
	11:01pm ironybread: What happens in 4 hours, Scott67?
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Rich!
	11:02pm spodiodi: thanks for the show, Rich in Washington! thanks for playing the Sagan!
	11:02pm WR: Thank you Rich for the curation of our Friday. Onward!
	11:02pm Carmichael: You are wonderful, Rich
	11:02pm ironybread: Fantastic show once again Rich tonight, thanks
	11:03pm Scott67: Don't tease ironybread!✌😎
	11:03pm Cp304: @Rich !!!
	11:03pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks a ton Rich!
	11:03pm Mr Fab: See ya later, fornicators!
	11:03pm Cp304: later Fab's
	11:03pm Scott67: Rich! Awesomeness!!!🍺👍😎
	11:05pm Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody!

	8:17pm ultradamno: Too bad they didn't work in that Twiggy song in this session though
	8:18pm Mr Fab: yeah, or my fave of theirs, "Vertigo." still, wonderful to hear this.
	8:18pm Rich in Washington: I just detangled the cord on my cans so they're laying in path of the wheels of my rolling chair.
	8:19pm chresti: Hi Rich and crate lovers!
	8:19pm Rich in Washington: My kid gave me a pair of AT ATH-M40fs and I am now a believer after years of being a Sony MDR-7056 fan.
	8:20pm Mr Fab: everyone should also check out Spacebrother's special on The Fibonaccis this past Monday, as Sheena's spearheads the LA weird-punk revival.
	8:20pm Rich in Washington: chresti!
	8:20pm ultradamno: For some reason I always imagine djs working from home having everything laid out on the floor.
	8:20pm Rich in Washington: That was a great show, Fab.
	8:20pm Cp304: Yeah, I've done roller thing too Rich, it hurts.. like a scratch on a new Beamer.. and yeah, the AT's got guud sound no doubt
	8:21pm ultradamno: Sounds good. I love The Fibonaccis. I think their New Wave Theater performance is on the you tubes
	8:21pm Cp304: Whoa, will def check that Mr Fab. I've been unable to listen to much this week
	8:21pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah, records laid out on my bed, the floor, everywhere. It's not pretty.
	8:22pm ironybread: Thanks for the tipoff, Fab wfmu.org...
	8:23pm Aitch: That Spacebro was a good show, drenched in Sheenaness
	8:23pm ultradamno: Cipher was another good band in that vein around that time
	8:23pm Don-O: Let's get old Mickey drunk!!
	8:25pm Rich in Washington: this song is for ironybread
	8:25pm ultradamno: I have that comp, all up and down greatness
	8:25pm Rich in Washington: the disneyland song, I meant.
	8:26pm sufferwords: saw all this live- L.A. was ripping- Black Randy’s Jim Jones show was especially rad
	8:26pm ultradamno: There's a great What label comp along the same lines called What Is It, Eyes, Dils, Controllers, Skulls....
	8:26pm Rich in Washington: I have an old Negativland show flyer that has an armed Mickey Mouse.
	8:27pm Rich in Washington: neat to see all the overlapping members in these bands.
	8:29pm sufferwords: Can ‘I Hate The English’ Bags be far behind?
	8:30pm Rich in Washington: sadly, not on these comps, but I love that song.
	8:30pm chresti: I missed a couple shows when we were out of town. I missed the show with Joe Nanini wearing a rat getup with a tail
	8:30pm Rich in Washington: Love the Bags.
	8:31pm solo mon: Love bags!
	8:31pm Rich in Washington: that's cool, chresti!
	8:31pm sufferwords: missed it by ‘that’ much
	8:31pm Mr Fab: Yep, Stan Ridgeway sat in with Fibonnacis, other Wall of Voodoo members played in Nervous Gender, DJ Bpnebrake of X and one of the GoGos was in The Eyes, Paul Roessler of the Screamers was in Twisted Roots with (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member!) Pat Smear of the Germs, then played with Mike Watt in Crimony... I could go on and on. And I fear I already have.
	8:31pm solo mon: Haha jinxies
	8:32pm Rich in Washington: someone owes somebody some coke. I mean a coke.
	8:33pm sufferwords: 50% of the Gun Club in Bags
	8:33pm ultradamno: I remember when Black Randy became Mexican Randy in The Fabulous Stains. There should have been records.
	8:33pm Rich in Washington: I need to watch Fabulous Stains again.
	8:33pm Aitch: This Bags is great, must look.
	8:33pm sufferwords: Arthur J. and the Gold Cups- ha
	8:34pm sufferwords: Black Randy made me the best Kasha Virnishke I ever had
	8:35pm Mr Fab: Alice Bag is still out there, dong her thing. Pat Bag married a member of the Damned, pissed off to England never to be seen again.
	8:35pm Rich in Washington: the guitar on this guns my motor.
	8:35pm solo mon: Alice Bag is in a band w the guy (Seth) that did the Sheena banner.
	8:36pm ultradamno: Penelope Houston, punk librarian!
	8:36pm Mr Fab: Really solo, amazing? What's their band called?
	8:37pm chresti: Black Randy fell asleep in a round chair at our place once.
	8:37pm solo mon: “Cliquey Bitches” is the bands name.
	8:37pm sufferwords: Avengers honorary Los Angelenos because of my almost landed, almost, crush on Penelope
	8:37pm Rich in Washington: Penelope's cool! I remember helping her scout a possible venue in PDX when she was doing a solo folk thing many years ago.
	8:38pm ultradamno: I really liked that -30- single
	8:38pm chresti: Avengers are kickass!
	8:40pm Mr Fab: Speaking of crushes, Pat Bag aka Pat Morrison was a goth goddess. And Jennifer Miro of the Nuns could have given Debbie Harry a run (a Nun?) for her money. Va-va-VOOM.
	8:40pm Rich in Washington: Dinah Cancer was pretty striking and quite the set of pipes. She could really shriek with the best of them.
	8:42pm ultradamno: I remember thing describing Dinah as "being in the Blondie mold", I think it was about someone in The Fuck-Ups knocking her over or something.
	8:43pm ultradamno: Probably in MRR
	8:43pm Mr Fab: paging Kitten Sparkles!
	8:43pm Rich in Washington: That's funny. I remember 45 Grave becoming kind of huge and I think there was a sort of backlash. Baby bird out of nest syndrome.
	8:44pm Rich in Washington: Trouser Press was particularly harsh on them, if I recall.
	8:44pm sufferwords: Crazy, I was in a band with KK, was pals with Tomataaaah, saw the Screaners a bunch, as for the sounds... cool enough but without Tomato going nuts in front of me... more of a document than great music for me but I’m totally digging the new interest in them- they were great live but still The Weirdos were at their prime the best live act in town
	8:45pm Rich in Washington: Kitten needs to do an LA Punk show.
	8:45pm ultradamno: My 45 Grave badge twitter.com...
	8:45pm sufferwords: that said ‘Peer Pressure’ the best!!!!
	8:46pm Rich in Washington: that's funny. Most of my badges have that peculiar water damage/rust thing, even ones I've never worn, just stuck to a bulletin board.
	8:46pm Mr Fab: now that I have a kid of my own, I think how weird it was that I grew up in this. Bands getting 'huge' still attracted very little mainstream attention, so it was like our own fucked-up little sandbox to play in. Essential for growth without nosy outsiders wagging their fingers at us, like what happens with everything nowadays.
	8:47pm sufferwords: through line- Bags - Gun Club - 45 Grave - my act- one Rob ‘Graves’ Ritter foundational bassist- best human
	8:48pm chresti: It's great hearing this through earbuds for the first time.
	8:51pm Aitch: I haven't made time for Population 1 yet, but here's the link. www.youtube.com...
	8:51pm ?: I have kids of my own. I grew up in this. Nothing fucked-up about it. Nothing wrong with nosy outsiders. Isn't that what people do? Used to ride home from work on the bus with Lois, Terry G.'s former spouse. Visited Pat at her department store in Whittier, where she worked the cosmetics counter. Dangerhouse gave me the first four singles before their release.
	8:52pm solo mon: I just realized “bomb Disneyland” by fat white family is based off that Eyes song!
	8:53pm Rich in Washington: That's funny, solo!
	8:53pm coelacanth∅: greetings Rich (iW) and 'lungers
	8:53pm ultradamno: Kids would just be new people to tell me "it's not music, it's just noise"
	8:53pm Rich in Washington: coelacanth∅! Howdy!
	8:54pm ironybread: I could be wrong but I think I'm only hearing one of the stereo channels doubled
	8:55pm HyperDose: Stereo panning softer than a muffin
	8:57pm Rich in Washington: It's a bit panned right. Is that what you're talking about?
	8:59pm Rich in Washington: just went and listened to the stream itself in another room and it sounds normal (as can be) to me. Still sound weird, ironybread?
	8:59pm ultradamno: Hell Comes To Your House badge twitter.com... I've got a Bomb Disneyland Now one posted somewhere, but Twitter's search sucks....
	9:00pm Rich in Washington: But this tape is a bit low in the left channel but that's sort of how it's recorded. It's got some things in separate channels.
	9:00pm spodiodi: " i know how it feels... bad." nice
	9:01pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey-yo, Rich, folks! Loving this Half-Japanese!
	9:01pm Rich in Washington: This is so much less fucked up than the album version of this song.
	9:01pm Rich in Washington: Hi Pauly! Glad you're diggin' it!
	9:02pm HyperDose: Oh no Rich, streams sounds and looks fine on the meter. It's the production that leaves much to be desired.
	9:03pm ultradamno: Fliers from two times I saw them twitter.com... twitter.com...
	9:03pm Rich in Washington: I went and listened on headphones on the stream in another room and it sounds fine. Lots of slapback due to it being a live recording.
	9:04pm Rich in Washington: I forgot about the Moe Tucker years!
	9:06pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hey there, Rich of the south side of Washington! Hi, folx!
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: Hi Baba Bee!
	9:07pm solo mon: Baba bee! I’m meeting up w another bee in a few minutes ;-)
	9:08pm ultradamno: I had this friend in Bloomington who had an effortless way of annoying anyone, after the show was over and they band were packing up, he come up to us just in front of the stage and said "you know what I liked best about that? the didn't do any stooges covers" and I saw Jad Fair's pop up, clearly having heard it, in irritation. I chuckled over that one for some time.
	9:08pm chresti: BABA BEEKINS!
	9:11pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): CHRESTIKINSSSS!!!!!!
	9:11pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): solo mon: a bee of our mootool acquaintance, perhaps???
	9:11pm Mr Fab: half Japanese played at WFMU's first (only?) appearance at SXSW. The Mp3s of the show were (and probably still are) on Beware of the Blog.
	9:12pm Scott67: G'day Mx.BB!✌😎
	9:16pm HyperDose: 1/2 Japanese MP3's: blog.wfmu.org...
	9:16pm Rich in Washington: @ultradamno: the mid-late 80s it seemed like every band had just discovered the Stooges. And Velvet Underground. It seemed like those were the two primary influences for most bands coming out at the time.
	9:17pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Hey there, Scott67, how is tomorrow?
	9:18pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey there Scott and Gus! You called it, unfortunately. Hope you and Gus are coping and that the lockdown is working. Sucks...
	9:19pm Cp304: sounds like a sayaunce
	9:20pm ultradamno: And Charmed Life was around that time, which has a Real Cool Time cover, which was part of what made it funny...
	9:20pm solo mon: Yes it Beeee
	9:21pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): solo: plz gives a big hug to the jb bugg!
	9:21pm Mr Fab: HyperDose, that link you posted has a comment from me from 2008 that i have no recollection of writing, haha.
	9:22pm ultradamno: They're good. They have the best Whack A Mole song of all the Whack A Mole songs
	9:23pm Rich in Washington: The WFMU blog is riddled with annoying comments by me back in the day, going back to before I was known as Rich In Washington but went by Chardman. RIP BOTB
	9:23pm ultradamno: It's on the Luminous Bipeds album
	9:24pm Scott67: Mx.BB, cool but sunny Saturday morning here! How you doing? Been a while.✌😎🌏🌞
	9:25pm Rich in Washington: that cover art style looks familiar and it's on the RecRec label. Curious!
	9:25pm Pauly from Clifton: HyperDose, thanks for the link! Good stuff! I wasn't aware that John Moreman played with them.
	9:28pm Scott67: G'day Pauly, sadly yes mate. Do away with masks & you're asking for another wave. But I'm actually fine with lock down . Gus & I areon front verandah in the warm sun, with a cold one. Good tunes & friends here makeit easy. 🍺👍😎🐾🌞
	9:31pm Rich in Washington: I just received word that all my locked down coworkers are supposed to return in July and I'm not happy. I love coming to work and feeling like Chuck Heston in Omega Man.
	9:33pm Scott67: Better move out those mannequins Rich!
	9:33pm Pauly from Clifton: Scott, sounds like a great start to a Saturday! Soak up that sun! 15 here, rainy. Good for my tomato plants, tho!
	9:35pm Pauly from Clifton: Rich, I hear ya! When I sporadically go into the office, like today, I love that feeling! Bliss...
	9:37pm ultradamno: V-Effect are another band I think of when Orthotonics, probably because I bought their album around the same time, and the jazz waviness
	9:38pm ultradamno: when Orthotonics come up, that is to say.
	9:40pm Rich in Washington: Orthotonics have a decided No Wave vibe, which I dig.
	9:42pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Scott67: I have relocated to a place in the woods where the internets are tin cans connected by strings!
	9:44pm Mr Fab: True, RIch, but with a wacky sense of fun that those oh-so-serious artistes on the actual No Wave wouldn't dare. Cool Stuff!
	9:46pm Carmichael: Heya Rich, people.
	9:46pm ultradamno: What? DNA never did a song about a boardwalk arcade game?
	9:47pm Rich in Washington: Hey, Carmichael!
	9:47pm ultradamno: Little known Bill Cosby song?
	9:48pm Rich in Washington: hah! I was just sorting and reorganizing records last weekend and was wondering if I should throw out the few Cosby records I have (which are just the singing ones and the kids n' drugs one).
	9:49pm Scott67: Anyone else getting hungry? 👍💀
	9:49pm Aitch: Lovely Little Girls very messed up
	9:49pm Carmichael: Hey Baba, did you move from that place where you were to a new place where you are now?
	9:51pm Rich in Washington: I just now popped out and made a really quick peanut butter sandwich.
	9:52pm Carmichael: Can’t tell you how many times I have said this.
	9:52pm ultradamno: There could be a comeback any day now. Not a parole, thanks to he himself, but...
	9:52pm Rich in Washington: Aitch, I recommend looking up singer Gregory Jacobsen's paintings
	9:53pm Aitch: Scared I'll like it Rich, but I'll look anyway
	9:54pm Scott67: I'm on the front verandah playing this, & the single mum across the street just brought out her rubbish. ✌😆
	9:54pm Rich in Washington: He also did a great podcast only WFMU show called The Cake and Polka Parade and it was fucking brilliant.
	9:55pm ironybread: www.juxtapoz.com...
	9:55pm WR: connected. now what have i missed so far.
	9:56pm Aitch: I did look, I'm still scared (scarred), but I did like it. I'm growing a new brain-fold.
	9:56pm Rich in Washington: I can just start over, WR! Glad you made it.
	9:56pm Cp304: I like what Fab did with the Cosby kids n drugs on America
	9:57pm Rich in Washington: the super scatalogical ones are really something. Like a super fucked up children's book illustration.
	9:58pm Aitch: Very heavy mushroom trip..
	10:00pm Cp304: it doesn't even sound like you have peanut butter on the roof of your mouth Rich
	10:00pm Yvang: A renaissance man.
	10:00pm Cp304: a true professional
	10:01pm Yvang: He has an art show in Paris since yesterday.
	10:01pm WR: the wfmu show wfmu.org...
	10:01pm Yvang: fr-fr.facebook.com...
	10:02pm Yvang: sorry for posting a facebook link...
	10:02pm spodiodi: cool, Rich!
	10:02pm Scott67: Love his Art Rich!👍👺 I really am a nice guy, honest!!!
	10:03pm Cp304: that switch was on point!
	10:03pm Yvang: I knew the painter and never made the link with the show.
	10:03pm WR: Thanks to the WFMU archives we rarely actually miss anything, just the listening deficit grows....
	10:04pm Rich in Washington: His earlier more drawing style images are especially screwed up. Like mutant fairy tale characters juking each other with vegetables, etc.
	10:05pm ultradamno: Just before Torch I had the TV on in the kitchen, I had the TV on and Sharon Stone did a freestyle rap for Ari Melber. If Don-O really wants his show to live up to the title Hour Of Crap, he should get an audio file of it. So deeply uncomfortable.
	10:05pm Carmichael: Take a bite of your sandwich and say “Aaron Burr.”
	10:07pm ironybread: Wobbly is currently in lockdown in Sydney, preparing for his appearance with Thurston Moore at the Dark Mofo festival next month
	10:07pm Carmichael: My next band will be called Listening Deficit.
	10:07pm Cp304: @ultradamno that def sounds craptastic
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: That sounds disturbing, ultra.
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow. i didn't know he was touring with Moore again! Too cool!
	10:08pm ultradamno: I'm a little traumatized
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: something Phil Proctor posted on FB today made me think of this next track.
	10:12pm ultradamno: I was thinking of NWW earlier this week when I saw someone quote Joe Strummer saying, when asked why there wasn't more live Clash stuff out there, that they often sounded like "seals barking over jackhammers" which I certain is an actual part of a few NWW tracks.
	10:13pm Mr Fab: i so missed The Cake and Polka Parade show, I kept checking back hoping it would eventually return...
	10:14pm Rich in Washington: I really loved host Fatty Jubbo's spoken intros and outros.
	10:14pm Mr Fab: what are Wobbly and THurston doing together? Like, Wobbly plays samples, and Thurston jams over 'em?
	10:15pm WR: 8 years is a long time to keep the lantern in the window, Mr Fab. Perhaps it is time to move on...
	10:16pm Rich in Washington: Jacobsen has been posting some brief mixes on Soundcloud of things deemed 'No Wave' as part of a FB group called No Wave, admin'd by Weasel Walter and others.
	10:17pm Rich in Washington: It's THAT good, though WR. I similarly pine for his odd sounds.
	10:18pm Rich in Washington: My Inner Alex Trebek: Alas The Madonna Does Not Function is the second reference from WHAT famous cartoonist?
	10:19pm WR: Except, what was I saying, Mr Fab, you are in the position, being the leader of an expanding stream jungle, to just go out and get that program host of your dreams.
	10:21pm Cp304: i just look stupid and hear Alex (sega genesis game) say.. boo boo boo.. sorry..
	10:21pm Mr Fab: Right you are, WR! Honestly, I hadn't thought about Cake and Polka Parade for some time, til Rich started playing Fatty Jubbos' stuff just now. Yeah, I should drop him a line and plead on my (virtual) knees for him to return.
	10:21pm chresti: Norman Rockwell?
	10:22pm Carmichael: I’ll take the rapists for 500, Alex. Thats “therapists”, Mr Connery.
	10:25pm Scott67: So hot in the sun I've ditched the T-shirt & jeans. Now I'm out front in jean cut-offs. Like a Bogan Never Nude Tobias.👍😎
	10:25pm ultradamno: Up there with Tobias Fünke's groundbreaking (first ever analyst and therapist) career designation. i.pinimg.com...
	10:27pm Rich in Washington: we started watching Arrested Development from the beginning again. Still so good.
	10:27pm Cp304: curious what the 78 sound like
	10:27pm Rich in Washington: Anybody watching the new Alan Partridge series?
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: I should try, CP
	10:28pm WR: Interesting Scott, you're having a warm day, and here, in NE USA, cool rainy days today and tomorrow. hmmm. seems somehow all connected doesn't it.
	10:29pm Cp304: that was nice intermingle there Rich
	10:29pm ultradamno: Is that Breeders? I haven't but have heard good things. Mr. Inbetween is back now which I love.
	10:30pm ironybread: omigod, I totally missed the Kliban ref live.staticflickr.com...
	10:31pm Scott67: WR, was 1 Celsius overnight, & if I go in the shade I will snap freeze. But our Sun is a Laser down here.😎🌞
	10:33pm Scott67: Rich, brilliant work is timeless. Even with the Sadam references.
	10:35pm Rich in Washington: early Devo lineup when they had brother Jim Mothersbaugh on homemade electronic drums.
	10:37pm coelacanth∅: i was reading about devo today and wondered why Jim didn't rejoin when Alan died
	10:37pm ultradamno: A potential blind date for TG's Subhuman?
	10:38pm Rich in Washington: Not sure. I think they needed a battle tested touring drummer by then. They got David Kendricks, who was in both Sparks and Gleaming Spires.
	10:39pm ultradamno: OK, the sex girls band. I knew I knew that name.
	10:39pm Rich in Washington: I got to attend a meet n' greet thing with that later lineup of Devo at a Tower Records. I got Mark to autograph my first ever Devo show ticket stub.
	10:40pm Rich in Washington: Gleaming Spires sole LP is pretty good. Some editions have a lovely West Side Story cover song on it.
	10:41pm coelacanth∅: noice. i saw devo 3X, all between duty now and new traditionalists but i doubt i have the ticket stubs
	10:41pm Mr Fab: Listening to this I see what Devo meant when they said that their early stuff was "dirge-like." Jerry Casale's fact-finding mission to CBGB's prompted them to speed things up.
	10:42pm Rich in Washington: The story behind this particular performance is pretty interesting. Somewhere, there's a Gerald Casale account of it and it's worth tracking down.
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: I worked for Jerry Casale - twice. He wasn't very Devo in regular life.
	10:42pm ultradamno: There's a great anecdote, maybe from a Search & Destroy interview, about them playing a demo for fellow Kent State alum Joe Walsh and getting somewhat laughed at and ultimately a dismissive "you're either over my head or below it" response.
	10:42pm Rich in Washington: yeah, I think Cleveland and later NY really focused Devo.
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: I'm gonna steal that: "I'm gonna go over your head and OVER it!"
	10:44pm Rich in Washington: They sort of conned their way into the show by saying they were a cover band. A classic Punk grift. Timeless.
	10:44pm ultradamno: They did retain Shrivel Up, at least. Their creme de la dirge
	10:45pm Rich in Washington: I remember hearing an interview where they said Shrivel Up was a early fan favorite. the entire audience would just hit the floor and writhe like worms.
	10:45pm ultradamno: Do the shrivel!
	10:46pm Rich in Washington: Hi Franco! Jerry's really involved in art and architecture and his line of wines, from what I gather.
	10:46pm Rich in Washington: he's also the one that wants to keep 'the band' together, whereas Mark is kinda lukewarm on Devo stuff now.
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: just another way of admitting he might not get it. he probably admitted it at some point; unless he turned into an eagle...
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: (^Joe Walsh)
	10:47pm ultradamno: I've always love Motherspaugh got fired from a movie called Whip It.
	10:48pm Rich in Washington: I think a lot of it is money. The only way a band can make money anymore is by song publishing and touring.
	10:48pm Rich in Washington: Oh, that's funny!
	10:48pm ultradamno: By the damn firestarter herself www.twentyfourbit.com...
	10:49pm Rich in Washington: Selling out for loads of money is kind of Devo. Being excluded from something you inspired is VERY Devo.
	10:49pm Franco Twinkie: Rich, when I worked for him he was a director of TV commercials. He would come to work in a tailored space suit, and was basically unapproachable.
	10:50pm ultradamno: And because SHE was being unprofessional is even more so!
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: seems to me Drew was being a spoiled brat
	10:52pm Rich in Washington: Might go over a teensy bit to finish out my set.
	10:52pm Scott67: FRANCOOOO!!!✌😎
	10:52pm Rich in Washington: My impression at the signing thing I went to - Jerry could give a shit - Mark seemed very kind although shy.
	10:54pm ultradamno: How did The Dead Boys never cover this? I'm imagining a medley with "Caught With The Meat..."
	10:54pm Scott67: When are you just gonna say fuckit one day Rich; & stay on playing stuff while we all get wasted together?
	10:55pm Rich in Washington: and now that I think of it, Alan Meyers quit because he didn't dig touring and by that time, had no actual creative input - was replaced by a drum machine on albums, so for touring, they found the Sparks drummer.
	10:56pm Cp304: well, thanks for the lesson Rich and Peeps.. love you all!
	10:56pm Rich in Washington: similar story with guitarist Bob 1. He sorta fell off the deep end and had little creative involvement short of touring. Mark and Jerry wanted to eliminate guitars altogether.
	10:56pm Franco Twinkie: But having said that, When I first saw Devo in 1977 they were so far ahead of everybody else. They really knew how to command the stage when some of the bands they played with were still trying to figure out how to plug in their equipment.
	10:56pm Rich in Washington: I'm a big dork for Devo.
	10:57pm Franco Twinkie: I can tell.
	10:57pm Rich in Washington: Kitten Sparkles told us this cool story of meeting The Residents and they told him to check out this new band called Devo.
	10:57pm Mr Fab: Franco! Got my shirt early this week and wore it for like three days straight.
	10:58pm Rich in Washington: I wore mine for a couple of days straight too!
	10:58pm Cp304: i would not know what devo was unless my Mom bought the album with crack that whip on it.. prob influenced by her brother
	10:58pm Rich in Washington: And my wife really loves it and that's rare - she hates almost all my shirts
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: i thought Meyers rejoined in the 90s am i mistaken?
	10:58pm Franco Twinkie: You guys are too kind.
	10:59pm Mr Fab: Ha, the idea of my mom ever buying a Devo album..
	10:59pm Carmichael: Just came back from beer drinking. I adore Devo.
	10:59pm Franco Twinkie: I wish I had been in on the punk-a-thon earlier.
	10:59pm ironybread: Ever since I've heard that notorious Suicide live show opening for Elvis Costello, I've been waiting for a recording of a live show where the band DEFEATED the audience.
	11:00pm HyperDose: "Full set worked for me, and good stuff it was indeed, thanks!" 🎩😉
	11:00pm Cp304: I discovered it in her whicker basket record thingy back in the 80's Fab
	11:00pm spodiodi: 🍺 nice Devo stuff, Rich
	11:00pm Carmichael: What about Larry Love and the band Dove?
	11:01pm chresti: Thanks Rich!
	11:01pm Scott67: 4 more hours, 4 more hours!!!.......
	11:01pm ironybread: What happens in 4 hours, Scott67?
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Rich!
	11:02pm spodiodi: thanks for the show, Rich in Washington! thanks for playing the Sagan!
	11:02pm WR: Thank you Rich for the curation of our Friday. Onward!
	11:02pm Carmichael: You are wonderful, Rich
	11:02pm ironybread: Fantastic show once again Rich tonight, thanks
	11:03pm Scott67: Don't tease ironybread!✌😎
	11:03pm Cp304: @Rich !!!
	11:03pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks a ton Rich!
	11:03pm Mr Fab: See ya later, fornicators!
	11:03pm Cp304: later Fab's
	11:03pm Scott67: Rich! Awesomeness!!!🍺👍😎
	11:05pm Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody!
