	5:15pm comeawaywithemd: I like to live in that bass line
	5:15pm HyperDose: This is pretty groovy
	5:15pm michael f hutchins: Hey Erin! I'm listening in Portland, Maine! -Mike from Glans and Lynx
	5:15pm comeawaywithemd: Yaaaay Hi Michael Hutchins!!
	5:15pm comeawaywithemd: Yes this is Green Magnet School "Throb" from Blood Music
	5:15pm luka: my partner just entered the kitchen saying “i had this Green Magnet School on cassette!”
	5:16pm mb: Radio Row. Hey EMD..
	5:16pm comeawaywithemd: Chris Pearson was a great informer for my article and so funny
	5:16pm comeawaywithemd: hahaha I love that! Cool partner!!
	5:16pm nonloc: Hi Erin! I saw the record release show for this, was at a theater in Harvard Square if I remember correctly
	5:17pm comeawaywithemd: Hi Mark Dwinell of Bright!!!
	5:17pm comeawaywithemd: I am so jealous of all of the 90s Bostonians
	5:17pm nonloc: Blood Music is so solid. :)
	5:17pm nonloc: HI
	5:18pm comeawaywithemd: I was learning my multiplication tables as a grade schooler in Cleveland while you all went to like 8 incredible shows every night
	5:18pm comeawaywithemd: Hi mb!!!
	5:18pm michael f hutchins: HAHA!
	5:18pm olivia: Hahah EMD , sameeeee
	5:19pm olivia: Well not Cleveland it was LA but yahhhhh
	5:19pm LeahCallahan: half of GMS were apparently at my parties on Cedar st in somerville in the late 90s.
	5:19pm comeawaywithemd: I just need to apologize to everyone for the fact that you will not be hearing Dirt Merchants in this set because I somehow did not hear them until THIS WEEK
	5:20pm comeawaywithemd: But I am obsessed so after this broadcast listen to "Pink Lemon" or "Raw Sugar"--those songs are spiritually a part of this moment
	5:20pm yenaved: Leaves in Virginia
	5:20pm nonloc: sounds right ^^^ those GMS guys were giants, like really tall hard to miss
	5:20pm comeawaywithemd: Was it the Black Helicopter half? The rhythm section?
	5:21pm coelacanth∅: i skipped the multiplication tables and went to manhatten
	5:21pm comeawaywithemd: Yes that was 'Leaves in Virginia" by Bulkhead and this is "Mercury Falls" by the mighty Come
	5:21pm LeahCallahan: i dunno. they were previously roomates with my roomie named suzahne.
	5:21pm comeawaywithemd: This is the AUTUMN VIBES part of my set
	5:21pm coelacanth∅: i LOVE love LOVE this come song!
	5:21pm nonloc: COME! just saw them here at Union Pool a few weeks back. Incredible show
	5:22pm comeawaywithemd: It's so beautiful
	5:22pm coelacanth∅: one of my "perfect albums"
	5:22pm yenaved: Nope. Black Helicopter was guitarist/singer Tim Shea's band.
	5:22pm comeawaywithemd: I was bummed I didn't include them in my article because they had nothing on Bandcamp and then all of a sudden when my article was in editing the expanded reissue pre order went up
	5:23pm Joe L: Hi Erin and everyone! Joe LaBrecque from Bright checking in. Come absolutely kills me, every time. Absolutely incredible live band.
	5:23pm comeawaywithemd: So I got to mention them being an influence to Geoff Farina and link to that, but I was happy to be able to make everyone listen to this perfect year closer at just the right time on WFMU
	5:24pm Constantly Choking: Come tune is so good
	5:25pm moonpod: Show sounding great!
	5:25pm coelacanth∅: i saw come before i'd ever heard of them 1996(?) what a revelation! it was handy having a city girlfriend
	5:25pm comeawaywithemd: yenaved: My understanding is at that Zack Lazar and Matt Nicholas were the rhythm section of Kudgel, then GMS, then Black Helicopter
	5:25pm nonloc: hi Joe!
	5:25pm LeahCallahan: show sounds amazing!
	5:25pm comeawaywithemd: Thank you, moonpod! My first broadcast!
	5:26pm comeawaywithemd: Hi Joe!!!!
	5:26pm luka: Swirlies was the last show i saw at Strange Matter here in Richmond before it closed down 2-3 years ago.
	5:26pm comeawaywithemd: HAPPY BDAY JEFFREY GALUSHA!!!!! 46!!!!!
	5:26pm Paul LaBrecque: Hi joe! Hi mark! Hi everyone!
	5:27pm yenaved: Comeaway, you could be correct. I knew GMS with their original drummer and bassist.
	5:27pm Sane O’Looney: Hello DJ Radio Row, first time listener but not a musician. @Acid Cazh Volvo 240, one of the best hoopities ever! @Radioronan I heard you'all are called Maskachusetts now.
	5:27pm ?: Really enjoying your show EMD! I lived in Boston from 1982-1994. Love to hear a show on 80s Boston rock too!
	5:27pm comeawaywithemd: Hi Paul!!
	5:27pm comeawaywithemd: Another thing Boston music has taught me is that the main attraction in Boston is its sex karate and they should advertise this more
	5:28pm LeahCallahan: lol
	5:28pm comeawaywithemd: Turkish Delight's "Smooth Karate" here with the news about that
	5:29pm comeawaywithemd: But also the entire very sexy catalog by the Boston band Karate would suggest sex karate is something they excel in there
	5:29pm olivia: Wanted to post a link to EMD’s bandcamp article! daily.bandcamp.com...
	5:29pm Leela: This is all so nice to hear. God, Come. There's no one like them and that song in particular is some kind of incantation. Dirt Merchants were SO good. You'll just have to do another show! :)
	5:29pm comeawaywithemd: Thank you, Olivia!!!
	5:29pm ?: Haven't heard Green Magnet School, Bulkhead or Come in ages. Takes me back to living in Boston before moving here in '94.
	5:29pm comeawaywithemd: Here is BRIGHT
	5:29pm LeahCallahan: nice segueway there
	5:30pm Widger: Love you BRIGHT
	5:30pm comeawaywithemd: I am so happy to hear so many people are loving the sounds and having memories
	5:30pm yenaved: Olivia, thank you for playing Betwixt a while back!
	5:30pm Joe L: Hey brother! :)
	5:30pm nonloc: nice track choice!
	5:30pm comeawaywithemd: Hi john Widger, drummer of Juneau! What a beast
	5:30pm listener monica: I had to check that Bulkhead song to see if Grant Hart hadn't come back to Earth with a new band.
	5:30pm Leela: Listening to this I'm amazed at how much I missed, even living there for the entire decade! This is so good.
	5:30pm Paul LaBrecque: Love you Juneau
	5:30pm comeawaywithemd: Please be my friend and percussionist ally
	5:30pm Widger: is that my Joe L?
	5:31pm yenaved: listener monica, ha! Former Bulkhead guitarist here.
	5:31pm nonloc: Family affair over here, hi Paul !
	5:31pm Widger: Paul!
	5:31pm olivia: Seriously, this show/ chat is awesome!! Love hearing the memories
	5:31pm comeawaywithemd: Leela: yes such a rich music scene, could make at least two more really rich shows with all different artists
	5:31pm MarciB: I'd love a indie Boston rock radio show c. '70s-90s. To go along with the Billy Ruane movie that I hope will come out some day!
	5:32pm Joe L: John Widger!! :)
	5:32pm yenaved: So good to hear the really interesting stuff that was coming out of Boston at the time.
	5:33pm Widger: Love you
	5:33pm Constantly Choking: man, so much good stuff I've never been aware of
	5:33pm ?: Marc Orleans....damn
	5:33pm LeahCallahan: i never saw these guys, sound great
	5:33pm michael f hutchins: Juneau!
	5:33pm nonloc: Marc's guitar is ripping
	5:33pm Leela: Juneau!
	5:33pm comeawaywithemd: Yeah so like
	5:34pm yenaved: This is like Last Exit! Awesome stuff.
	5:34pm RecordGrouch: Fire on this Juneau track , for sure. Love that band. Pairing J w/ Bright makes total sense: think of those bands as brothers.
	5:34pm comeawaywithemd: This is the epic closer of Juneau's 1996 album The Space is Hot
	5:34pm Widger: fucking beast, my hendrix
	5:34pm comeawaywithemd: Please listen to the whole thing if you never have
	5:34pm radioronan: @MarciB - Also waiting on the Billy Ruane doc!
	5:34pm HyperDose: nonloc, you mean melting? 🔥
	5:34pm comeawaywithemd: Rest in power rage in peace to Mark Orleans, one of the many working musicians lost to this endless pandemic
	5:34pm MarciB: I listened to so much great college radio in Boston - obsessed with it back in the day. Seeing shows at the Middle East, the Rat, Green St Grill....this is great stuff
	5:35pm Joe L: Oh man, this track. Juneau blew mind on multiple occasions, I'm lucky to say.
	5:35pm comeawaywithemd: I tried to keep bands that were close together and kind of show thru the set order how sounds relate because I am a nerd
	5:35pm nonloc: just now was the melting part :)
	5:35pm Paul LaBrecque: Still ripping my head off
	5:36pm comeawaywithemd: Also that Juneau track was sent to me by a music fan who had ripped it from a college radio station in Washington
	5:36pm comeawaywithemd: so music fans stay loving music fans and radio stay loving radio
	5:36pm Aitch: really enjoying the set
	5:36pm Widger: what a great track. KARATE. Juneau Bright and Karate shared some stages
	5:36pm comeawaywithemd: So yes then Karate because Karate were also pals w Bright and Juneau
	5:37pm yenaved: Bulkhead and GMS played a lot of shows together as well.
	5:37pm comeawaywithemd: Thank you, Aitch!
	5:37pm LeahCallahan: great to get a non Bostonian perspective on Boston indie rock :)
	5:37pm Joe L: I'd love to hear that Juneau radio rip.
	5:37pm Widger: ish. Bright and Juneau brotherhood forever
	5:38pm comeawaywithemd: I had no idea how well this song I named this work after would actually fit 90s Boston
	5:38pm comeawaywithemd: But talking to Geoff Farina is actually how I realized how perfect it is--the way he described a lot of things happening in isolated pockets
	5:38pm comeawaywithemd: A city of "grumpy smart people"
	5:39pm comeawaywithemd: Joe L I have it and can send your way my email is comeawaywithemd@gmail.com
	5:39pm nonloc: lol pretty much ^^^
	5:39pm comeawaywithemd: But the idea of lots of ships passing in the night with so much activity.
	5:40pm Joe L: A great choice, emd!
	5:40pm comeawaywithemd: oooooooooooo HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFFREY GALUSHAAAAAAA
	5:40pm nonloc: oh shit
	5:40pm comeawaywithemd: VEHICLE BIRTH
	5:40pm Dave: oh man vehicle birth
	5:40pm nonloc: Vehicle Birth so great
	5:40pm comeawaywithemd: from their 1997 recorded/1998 released album TRAGEDY
	5:41pm comeawaywithemd: a lot of this music was supplied to me by other music fans or members of bands
	5:41pm MarciB: These guys- Vehicle Birth- sound very influenced by the Volcano Suns/ Peter Prescott. Cool!
	5:42pm comeawaywithemd: but in making this I found that fans often keep better records of music than the musicians who make it!!!
	5:42pm comeawaywithemd: HAPPY 46TH BIRTHDAY, JEFFREY GALUSHAAAAAAAAAA, VEHICLE BIRTH DRUMMER
	5:42pm efd: @MarciB Yes, I was thinking the same thing!
	5:42pm michael f hutchins: agreed.
	5:43pm comeawaywithemd: oooo it's GLANS
	5:43pm Widger: Vehicle Birth!
	5:43pm Leela: That's true about fans, I have a Sugarbitch 7" sitting right here in front of me.
	5:43pm comeawaywithemd: Boston had more than one duo in the early days of what came to be called "math rock"
	5:44pm plabrecque: EMD may I also get in touch for that Juneau rip??
	5:44pm comeawaywithemd: I really wanna hear the Sugarbitch 7"
	5:44pm comeawaywithemd: Yes hmu with any music requests comeawaywithemd@gmail.com
	5:44pm comeawaywithemd: So this is Glans--Mike Hutchins and Paul Joyce--who went onto Lynx
	5:45pm comeawaywithemd: Joyce was also in Robots, the mighty Dagobah
	5:45pm comeawaywithemd: He went onto be in Check Engine after Lynx moved to Chicago and became a part of the Don Caballero scene
	5:45pm comeawaywithemd: HELIUMMMMMMM
	5:46pm Dan P: No Mission of Burma?
	5:46pm comeawaywithemd: One of my favorite songs of all time
	5:46pm nonloc: Mary Timony such an inspiring guitarist
	5:46pm comeawaywithemd: Total genius and visionary
	5:46pm I k e: Sounds good. Funny that one of your first commented was EFD. EFD and EMD? A united front of DJs w/first initial E and last D?
	5:46pm Sam in Knoxville: Such a good show! Thanks so much.
	5:47pm comeawaywithemd: hahaha thanks Ike and Sam
	5:47pm spodiodi: Helium! <3
	5:47pm yenaved: Dan P, this is 90s Boston music. Burma was still broken up.
	5:48pm Crash: Sounds AWESOME! Great job!
	👻 5:48pm Will the Sound Guy: I caught some of your set, digging the tunes!!!! Thank you!!!!
	5:48pm comeawaywithemd: Thank you so much everyone!!!
	5:48pm comeawaywithemd: Mona Elliot was in a lot of bands
	5:48pm Widger: Love you Mona
	5:49pm michael f hutchins: Play some Wicked Farleys
	5:49pm Leela: Christina and Mona! <3 God I loved Spore.
	5:49pm comeawaywithemd: Victory at Sea is my favorite one she was in! I absolutely adore this record
	5:49pm Leela: I hope the Jacques scene gets some love. The Elevator Drops and Ghost Of Tony Gold!
	5:50pm comeawaywithemd: Yes Marc Orleans was also in Spore and like a bunch of other noise rock projects before he went in a more jammy direction
	5:51pm comeawaywithemd: hahahahaha Wicked Farleys are definitely in the broadcast
	5:51pm Lazar, Z: Oh man. What’d I miss?
	5:51pm nonloc: Mona is the best, been a long time
	5:51pm Sane O’Looney: Really is a great curated and played show. Thanks for the surprise.
	5:51pm comeawaywithemd: picking just one Wicked Farleys song was really hard especially because most of them are very long. Boston 90s in general a lil too long for radio
	5:52pm coelacanth∅: i knew a guy c.1986 who was a manager at a club in boston called "underground" sometime before then -gave me a few cassettes that they played there. it wasn't all local but a lot was and clued me in to a whole scene i hadn't considered
	5:52pm comeawaywithemd: Thank you, Sane!
	5:52pm comeawaywithemd: Zack you missed almost everythinggggg
	5:52pm Leela: Zach it's been nothing Aerosmith tribute bands for the whole hour.
	5:52pm yenaved: Betwixt! Thanks Erin.
	5:53pm comeawaywithemd: This is the end, but it will be archived and I can also send the file of the broadcast to anyone who doesn't not want to wait to hear it comeawaywithemd@gmail.com
	5:53pm comeawaywithemd: Boston's premiere cello rock band
	5:53pm Lazar, Z: LOL Brodeur from Farleys is now the classical music editor for the WaPo.
	5:53pm comeawaywithemd: Just a lot of Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Zack
	5:54pm laurapanic: LOVE
	5:54pm comeawaywithemd: Yeah I know he is too busy being the end boss of music critics to explain to me why Wicked Farleys are on Spotify but not Bandcamp where I could write about themmmmmmmm
	5:54pm yenaved: Are you saving Extreme for last?
	5:54pm Crash: Wait, I thought this was just going to be all the 90s releases of THE BAND "Boston"?!
	5:54pm plabrecque: Thanks for the great show!
	5:54pm comeawaywithemd: woooooo
	5:55pm comeawaywithemd: YOU BETTER BE DANCING
	5:55pm Joe L: I enjoyed Brodeaur's column when he was writing for the Boston Globe.

	5:57pm coelacanth∅: (i don't do twitter or insta-graham)

	5:11pm comeawaywithemd: So every time I listen to that Galaxie 500 song I think "Bostonians are always looking for reasons or making up reasons to not go outside"
	5:12pm chresti: Hi EMD and rowers!
	5:12pm LeahCallahan: it's cold
	5:12pm coelacanth∅: hi again EMD, and y'all
	5:12pm comeawaywithemd: And Damok Krukowski says that This is Our Music is the least Bostonian of their albums but like that song is very Boston to me
	5:12pm comeawaywithemd: Damon*
	5:13pm spodiodi: greetings, EMD and everyone sounding good!
	5:13pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, EMD and rowing crew.
	5:13pm comeawaywithemd: Thanks for 4th of July/Xmas reversal props, Joe Mulligan
	5:13pm Constantly Choking: digging the show EMD!
	5:13pm LeahCallahan: i like this
	5:14pm coelacanth∅: hey spodi!
	5:14pm nonloc: Green Magnet School so amazing
	5:14pm comeawaywithemd: Hi everyone who said hi I didn't respond to
	5:14pm comeawaywithemd: Hope everyone loved my Swirlies
	5:15pm comeawaywithemd: I like to live in that bass line
	5:15pm HyperDose: This is pretty groovy
	5:15pm michael f hutchins: Hey Erin! I'm listening in Portland, Maine! -Mike from Glans and Lynx
	5:15pm comeawaywithemd: Yaaaay Hi Michael Hutchins!!
	5:15pm comeawaywithemd: Yes this is Green Magnet School "Throb" from Blood Music
	5:15pm luka: my partner just entered the kitchen saying “i had this Green Magnet School on cassette!”
	5:16pm mb: Radio Row. Hey EMD..
	5:16pm comeawaywithemd: Chris Pearson was a great informer for my article and so funny
	5:16pm comeawaywithemd: hahaha I love that! Cool partner!!
	5:16pm nonloc: Hi Erin! I saw the record release show for this, was at a theater in Harvard Square if I remember correctly
	5:17pm comeawaywithemd: Hi Mark Dwinell of Bright!!!
	5:17pm comeawaywithemd: I am so jealous of all of the 90s Bostonians
	5:17pm nonloc: Blood Music is so solid. :)
	5:17pm nonloc: HI
	5:18pm comeawaywithemd: I was learning my multiplication tables as a grade schooler in Cleveland while you all went to like 8 incredible shows every night
	5:18pm comeawaywithemd: Hi mb!!!
	5:18pm michael f hutchins: HAHA!
	5:18pm olivia: Hahah EMD , sameeeee
	5:19pm olivia: Well not Cleveland it was LA but yahhhhh
	5:19pm LeahCallahan: half of GMS were apparently at my parties on Cedar st in somerville in the late 90s.
	5:19pm comeawaywithemd: I just need to apologize to everyone for the fact that you will not be hearing Dirt Merchants in this set because I somehow did not hear them until THIS WEEK
	5:20pm comeawaywithemd: But I am obsessed so after this broadcast listen to "Pink Lemon" or "Raw Sugar"--those songs are spiritually a part of this moment
	5:20pm yenaved: Leaves in Virginia
	5:20pm nonloc: sounds right ^^^ those GMS guys were giants, like really tall hard to miss
	5:20pm comeawaywithemd: Was it the Black Helicopter half? The rhythm section?
	5:21pm coelacanth∅: i skipped the multiplication tables and went to manhatten
	5:21pm comeawaywithemd: Yes that was 'Leaves in Virginia" by Bulkhead and this is "Mercury Falls" by the mighty Come
	5:21pm LeahCallahan: i dunno. they were previously roomates with my roomie named suzahne.
	5:21pm comeawaywithemd: This is the AUTUMN VIBES part of my set
	5:21pm coelacanth∅: i LOVE love LOVE this come song!
	5:21pm nonloc: COME! just saw them here at Union Pool a few weeks back. Incredible show
	5:22pm comeawaywithemd: It's so beautiful
	5:22pm coelacanth∅: one of my "perfect albums"
	5:22pm yenaved: Nope. Black Helicopter was guitarist/singer Tim Shea's band.
	5:22pm comeawaywithemd: I was bummed I didn't include them in my article because they had nothing on Bandcamp and then all of a sudden when my article was in editing the expanded reissue pre order went up
	5:23pm Joe L: Hi Erin and everyone! Joe LaBrecque from Bright checking in. Come absolutely kills me, every time. Absolutely incredible live band.
	5:23pm comeawaywithemd: So I got to mention them being an influence to Geoff Farina and link to that, but I was happy to be able to make everyone listen to this perfect year closer at just the right time on WFMU
	5:24pm Constantly Choking: Come tune is so good
	5:25pm moonpod: Show sounding great!
	5:25pm coelacanth∅: i saw come before i'd ever heard of them 1996(?) what a revelation! it was handy having a city girlfriend
	5:25pm comeawaywithemd: yenaved: My understanding is at that Zack Lazar and Matt Nicholas were the rhythm section of Kudgel, then GMS, then Black Helicopter
	5:25pm nonloc: hi Joe!
	5:25pm LeahCallahan: show sounds amazing!
	5:25pm comeawaywithemd: Thank you, moonpod! My first broadcast!
	5:26pm comeawaywithemd: Hi Joe!!!!
	5:26pm luka: Swirlies was the last show i saw at Strange Matter here in Richmond before it closed down 2-3 years ago.
	5:26pm comeawaywithemd: HAPPY BDAY JEFFREY GALUSHA!!!!! 46!!!!!
	5:26pm Paul LaBrecque: Hi joe! Hi mark! Hi everyone!
	5:27pm yenaved: Comeaway, you could be correct. I knew GMS with their original drummer and bassist.
	5:27pm Sane O’Looney: Hello DJ Radio Row, first time listener but not a musician. @Acid Cazh Volvo 240, one of the best hoopities ever! @Radioronan I heard you'all are called Maskachusetts now.
	5:27pm ?: Really enjoying your show EMD! I lived in Boston from 1982-1994. Love to hear a show on 80s Boston rock too!
	5:27pm comeawaywithemd: Hi Paul!!
	5:27pm comeawaywithemd: Another thing Boston music has taught me is that the main attraction in Boston is its sex karate and they should advertise this more
	5:28pm LeahCallahan: lol
	5:28pm comeawaywithemd: Turkish Delight's "Smooth Karate" here with the news about that
	5:29pm comeawaywithemd: But also the entire very sexy catalog by the Boston band Karate would suggest sex karate is something they excel in there
	5:29pm olivia: Wanted to post a link to EMD’s bandcamp article! daily.bandcamp.com...
	5:29pm Leela: This is all so nice to hear. God, Come. There's no one like them and that song in particular is some kind of incantation. Dirt Merchants were SO good. You'll just have to do another show! :)
	5:29pm comeawaywithemd: Thank you, Olivia!!!
	5:29pm ?: Haven't heard Green Magnet School, Bulkhead or Come in ages. Takes me back to living in Boston before moving here in '94.
	5:29pm comeawaywithemd: Here is BRIGHT
	5:29pm LeahCallahan: nice segueway there
	5:30pm Widger: Love you BRIGHT
	5:30pm comeawaywithemd: I am so happy to hear so many people are loving the sounds and having memories
	5:30pm yenaved: Olivia, thank you for playing Betwixt a while back!
	5:30pm Joe L: Hey brother! :)
	5:30pm nonloc: nice track choice!
	5:30pm comeawaywithemd: Hi john Widger, drummer of Juneau! What a beast
	5:30pm listener monica: I had to check that Bulkhead song to see if Grant Hart hadn't come back to Earth with a new band.
	5:30pm Leela: Listening to this I'm amazed at how much I missed, even living there for the entire decade! This is so good.
	5:30pm Paul LaBrecque: Love you Juneau
	5:30pm comeawaywithemd: Please be my friend and percussionist ally
	5:30pm Widger: is that my Joe L?
	5:31pm yenaved: listener monica, ha! Former Bulkhead guitarist here.
	5:31pm nonloc: Family affair over here, hi Paul !
	5:31pm Widger: Paul!
	5:31pm olivia: Seriously, this show/ chat is awesome!! Love hearing the memories
	5:31pm comeawaywithemd: Leela: yes such a rich music scene, could make at least two more really rich shows with all different artists
	5:31pm MarciB: I'd love a indie Boston rock radio show c. '70s-90s. To go along with the Billy Ruane movie that I hope will come out some day!
	5:32pm Joe L: John Widger!! :)
	5:32pm yenaved: So good to hear the really interesting stuff that was coming out of Boston at the time.
	5:33pm Widger: Love you
	5:33pm Constantly Choking: man, so much good stuff I've never been aware of
	5:33pm ?: Marc Orleans....damn
	5:33pm LeahCallahan: i never saw these guys, sound great
	5:33pm michael f hutchins: Juneau!
	5:33pm nonloc: Marc's guitar is ripping
	5:33pm Leela: Juneau!
	5:33pm comeawaywithemd: Yeah so like
	5:34pm yenaved: This is like Last Exit! Awesome stuff.
	5:34pm RecordGrouch: Fire on this Juneau track , for sure. Love that band. Pairing J w/ Bright makes total sense: think of those bands as brothers.
	5:34pm comeawaywithemd: This is the epic closer of Juneau's 1996 album The Space is Hot
	5:34pm Widger: fucking beast, my hendrix
	5:34pm comeawaywithemd: Please listen to the whole thing if you never have
	5:34pm radioronan: @MarciB - Also waiting on the Billy Ruane doc!
	5:34pm HyperDose: nonloc, you mean melting? 🔥
	5:34pm comeawaywithemd: Rest in power rage in peace to Mark Orleans, one of the many working musicians lost to this endless pandemic
	5:34pm MarciB: I listened to so much great college radio in Boston - obsessed with it back in the day. Seeing shows at the Middle East, the Rat, Green St Grill....this is great stuff
	5:35pm Joe L: Oh man, this track. Juneau blew mind on multiple occasions, I'm lucky to say.
	5:35pm comeawaywithemd: I tried to keep bands that were close together and kind of show thru the set order how sounds relate because I am a nerd
	5:35pm nonloc: just now was the melting part :)
	5:35pm Paul LaBrecque: Still ripping my head off
	5:36pm comeawaywithemd: Also that Juneau track was sent to me by a music fan who had ripped it from a college radio station in Washington
	5:36pm comeawaywithemd: so music fans stay loving music fans and radio stay loving radio
	5:36pm Aitch: really enjoying the set
	5:36pm Widger: what a great track. KARATE. Juneau Bright and Karate shared some stages
	5:36pm comeawaywithemd: So yes then Karate because Karate were also pals w Bright and Juneau
	5:37pm yenaved: Bulkhead and GMS played a lot of shows together as well.
	5:37pm comeawaywithemd: Thank you, Aitch!
	5:37pm LeahCallahan: great to get a non Bostonian perspective on Boston indie rock :)
	5:37pm Joe L: I'd love to hear that Juneau radio rip.
	5:37pm Widger: ish. Bright and Juneau brotherhood forever
	5:38pm comeawaywithemd: I had no idea how well this song I named this work after would actually fit 90s Boston
	5:38pm comeawaywithemd: But talking to Geoff Farina is actually how I realized how perfect it is--the way he described a lot of things happening in isolated pockets
	5:38pm comeawaywithemd: A city of "grumpy smart people"
	5:39pm comeawaywithemd: Joe L I have it and can send your way my email is comeawaywithemd@gmail.com
	5:39pm nonloc: lol pretty much ^^^
	5:39pm comeawaywithemd: But the idea of lots of ships passing in the night with so much activity.
	5:40pm Joe L: A great choice, emd!
	5:40pm comeawaywithemd: oooooooooooo HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFFREY GALUSHAAAAAAA
	5:40pm nonloc: oh shit
	5:40pm comeawaywithemd: VEHICLE BIRTH
	5:40pm Dave: oh man vehicle birth
	5:40pm nonloc: Vehicle Birth so great
	5:40pm comeawaywithemd: from their 1997 recorded/1998 released album TRAGEDY
	5:41pm comeawaywithemd: a lot of this music was supplied to me by other music fans or members of bands
	5:41pm MarciB: These guys- Vehicle Birth- sound very influenced by the Volcano Suns/ Peter Prescott. Cool!
	5:42pm comeawaywithemd: but in making this I found that fans often keep better records of music than the musicians who make it!!!
	5:42pm comeawaywithemd: HAPPY 46TH BIRTHDAY, JEFFREY GALUSHAAAAAAAAAA, VEHICLE BIRTH DRUMMER
	5:42pm efd: @MarciB Yes, I was thinking the same thing!
	5:42pm michael f hutchins: agreed.
	5:43pm comeawaywithemd: oooo it's GLANS
	5:43pm Widger: Vehicle Birth!
	5:43pm Leela: That's true about fans, I have a Sugarbitch 7" sitting right here in front of me.
	5:43pm comeawaywithemd: Boston had more than one duo in the early days of what came to be called "math rock"
	5:44pm plabrecque: EMD may I also get in touch for that Juneau rip??
	5:44pm comeawaywithemd: I really wanna hear the Sugarbitch 7"
	5:44pm comeawaywithemd: Yes hmu with any music requests comeawaywithemd@gmail.com
	5:44pm comeawaywithemd: So this is Glans--Mike Hutchins and Paul Joyce--who went onto Lynx
	5:45pm comeawaywithemd: Joyce was also in Robots, the mighty Dagobah
	5:45pm comeawaywithemd: He went onto be in Check Engine after Lynx moved to Chicago and became a part of the Don Caballero scene
	5:45pm comeawaywithemd: HELIUMMMMMMM
	5:46pm Dan P: No Mission of Burma?
	5:46pm comeawaywithemd: One of my favorite songs of all time
	5:46pm nonloc: Mary Timony such an inspiring guitarist
	5:46pm comeawaywithemd: Total genius and visionary
	5:46pm I k e: Sounds good. Funny that one of your first commented was EFD. EFD and EMD? A united front of DJs w/first initial E and last D?
	5:46pm Sam in Knoxville: Such a good show! Thanks so much.
	5:47pm comeawaywithemd: hahaha thanks Ike and Sam
	5:47pm spodiodi: Helium! <3
	5:47pm yenaved: Dan P, this is 90s Boston music. Burma was still broken up.
	5:48pm Crash: Sounds AWESOME! Great job!
	👻 5:48pm Will the Sound Guy: I caught some of your set, digging the tunes!!!! Thank you!!!!
	5:48pm comeawaywithemd: Thank you so much everyone!!!
	5:48pm comeawaywithemd: Mona Elliot was in a lot of bands
	5:48pm Widger: Love you Mona
	5:49pm michael f hutchins: Play some Wicked Farleys
	5:49pm Leela: Christina and Mona! <3 God I loved Spore.
	5:49pm comeawaywithemd: Victory at Sea is my favorite one she was in! I absolutely adore this record
	5:49pm Leela: I hope the Jacques scene gets some love. The Elevator Drops and Ghost Of Tony Gold!
	5:50pm comeawaywithemd: Yes Marc Orleans was also in Spore and like a bunch of other noise rock projects before he went in a more jammy direction
	5:51pm comeawaywithemd: hahahahaha Wicked Farleys are definitely in the broadcast
	5:51pm Lazar, Z: Oh man. What’d I miss?
	5:51pm nonloc: Mona is the best, been a long time
	5:51pm Sane O’Looney: Really is a great curated and played show. Thanks for the surprise.
	5:51pm comeawaywithemd: picking just one Wicked Farleys song was really hard especially because most of them are very long. Boston 90s in general a lil too long for radio
	5:52pm coelacanth∅: i knew a guy c.1986 who was a manager at a club in boston called "underground" sometime before then -gave me a few cassettes that they played there. it wasn't all local but a lot was and clued me in to a whole scene i hadn't considered
	5:52pm comeawaywithemd: Thank you, Sane!
	5:52pm comeawaywithemd: Zack you missed almost everythinggggg
	5:52pm Leela: Zach it's been nothing Aerosmith tribute bands for the whole hour.
	5:52pm yenaved: Betwixt! Thanks Erin.
	5:53pm comeawaywithemd: This is the end, but it will be archived and I can also send the file of the broadcast to anyone who doesn't not want to wait to hear it comeawaywithemd@gmail.com
	5:53pm comeawaywithemd: Boston's premiere cello rock band
	5:53pm Lazar, Z: LOL Brodeur from Farleys is now the classical music editor for the WaPo.
	5:53pm comeawaywithemd: Just a lot of Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Zack
	5:54pm laurapanic: LOVE
	5:54pm comeawaywithemd: Yeah I know he is too busy being the end boss of music critics to explain to me why Wicked Farleys are on Spotify but not Bandcamp where I could write about themmmmmmmm
	5:54pm yenaved: Are you saving Extreme for last?
	5:54pm Crash: Wait, I thought this was just going to be all the 90s releases of THE BAND "Boston"?!
	5:54pm plabrecque: Thanks for the great show!
	5:54pm comeawaywithemd: woooooo
	5:55pm comeawaywithemd: YOU BETTER BE DANCING
