	10:09pm Carmichael: Oh yeah there are, Scott. Waiting for sundown, about 15 minutes.
	10:10pm Scott67: Doesn't the US impose Fire Bans during High Fire Risk times Carmichael.
	10:11pm Zipperhead7: Rilly humid here. You step outside and the air is like putting on a cashmere sweater
	10:11pm northguineahills: dropped in just in time for chris and cosey
	10:12pm Carmichael: I’m a sovereign citizen, Scott. 😎
	10:13pm Scott67: Tragedy in Canada. Now I'm waiting for the NRA Propegandagasm about what can be done with knives.
	10:14pm northguineahills: @Braniac: I went outside (I'm 70km w of cape canaveral), but it's raining, so I can see shite...
	10:14pm northguineahills: can't see shite....
	10:15pm Scott67: A Citizen in Australia takes Social Responsibility seriously when our Country is on fire mate.
	10:17pm planetjulie: love it
	10:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Sara and A-phids!
	10:19pm ledzeppelinsucks: I saw a meltdown at SEA Sixt today. The chick hollered 'Don't talk that hibigi, this is America'. The kkkop cuffed her in front of the lined up travelers.
	10:21pm Zipperhead7: That sure didn't sound like "Which Way You Goin' Billy?"
	10:26pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Sara and everybody.
	10:27pm planetjulie: lmao scatology IS a classic
	10:28pm Sara A: heh heh ;-P hi jolieee
	10:28pm Sara A: hi ngh, will, zipperhead, ken and franco!
	10:29pm Scobot: God! This Jan & Lorraine is incredible!
	10:29pm northguineahills: what scobot said....
	10:30pm Scobot: Sounds like the Roches on cough syrup.
	10:31pm northguineahills: a little abba goes a long way....
	10:31pm Sara A: very true ngh !
	10:32pm Zipperhead7: I had a debate with a friend the other day as to whether or not the Cocteau Twins were like a psychedelic Abba
	10:34pm Scobot: Every time I hear the beginning of S.O.S, I think intro to Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five/Wings.
	10:36pm Franco Twinkie: I remember when S.O.S. was current. You NEVER heard a critical knowing critique of their thing. Maybe in The Village Voice a snide dismissal, but other that that where, Cream?
	10:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: That time Smithers had Waterloo on the tape - www.frinkiac.com...
	10:36pm Yes: hey yall
	10:37pm Franco Twinkie: Great version of Born Yo Be Burned. Ragged and raw.
	10:37pm northguineahills: i gotta to revisit that one, ken.....
	10:37pm Zipperhead7: I remember reading an interview with Joe Strummer in which he said he was a huge Abba fan
	10:38pm Scobot: -25 pts for Strummer.
	10:38pm Carmichael: Their production values were incredible.
	10:40pm Carmichael: The official FMU tiki torches are lit 🔥 🔥🔥.
	10:41pm Franco Twinkie: There you go. Joe Strummer didn't have to strike a pose and diss anybody. Wait a minute! No Elvis Beatles or The Rolling Stones. But that was agit-prop, not his heart talking.
	10:42pm Zipperhead7: Good point, Franco
	10:43pm northguineahills: yes, it's heart!
	10:46pm Carmichael: Ngh, you heard Heart about 30 seconds before it came on here …
	10:46pm Franco Twinkie: Patti Smith use to sing You Light Up My Life, and she wasn't been ironic. Well, maybe a little bit. But It didn't come of that way.
	10:46pm pp: ❤ approximating Joni Mitchell
	10:47pm Scobot: My favorite Heart album.
	10:47pm Richy4619: it's sundown in the sunset neighborhood
	10:47pm northguineahills: @Carmichael: I'm usually about 90 seconds behind people in nycland, hmmmm (maybe just the terrestrial listeners)
	10:49pm wenzo toad in Detroit: Cool show, thanks!
	10:49pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Richy! The sunset in L.A. was magnificent tonight. After a hellacious day, the sky was beyond awesome.
	10:50pm ledzeppelinsucks: These Wilson sisters are from Bellevue, my home town.
	10:51pm Franco Twinkie: Sin Control is a feature that was never installed in me.
	10:51pm Scobot: Sounds like Jim O'Rourke produced this track.
	10:52pm northguineahills: sin control is an interlingual antonym. (w/o control vs control of sin) (espanol vs english)
	10:53pm Richy4619: nice, franco. stay cool! i'm debating going back out for a walk with my headphones. it's a good night for it
	10:54pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, how does a Jew mitigate sin with a Mexican wife?
	10:55pm Carmichael: It’s finally down to about 95 here. One more week of hellish temps and summer will be over. Hopefully.
	10:56pm Zipperhead7: Even though I threw it all away a couple of years ago, I still have start-of-semester anxiety dreams. Last night I dreamt I was getting ready to copy syllabi an hour before class and found a python on the copy machine.
	10:57pm Franco Twinkie: Whoa!
	10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Zipper, you're a professor?
	10:58pm northguineahills: @franco: ftr, ex-wife. I've gotten this a lot in the South, although my parents gave me a traditional jewish first name, my parents are wasps (unless they're secretly conversios). At the shelter where I volunteer, they used to call me 'jewish boy', until i disabused them of using such nomenclature.
	11:00pm Zipperhead7: Was. I had a good run and had a helluva good time, but figured it was time to go when everything went online with covid
	11:00pm Scobot: Quite a rarefied chat room this evening.
	11:01pm Sara A: hi everyone!! sorry i'm a bit mia in the chat. thanks for being here
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: Excuse me Aron, I made that assumption myself. Aron of course is an Irish name as well.
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: English lit?
	11:03pm northguineahills: (i sort of never announced that i got a divorce, two years ago, during the pandemic)
	11:04pm Zipperhead7: Communications and media studies. It was great because it has little academic legitimacy so I could do whatever i wanted -- taught classes on popular music, modernity, etc.
	11:04pm BH: remembver that Elvis's liddle name was Aron (until he changed it)
	11:04pm Richy4619: ☆ﾟ♪-.┗(｀ー´)┓┏(＾0＾)┛♬·。ﾟ
	11:04pm BH: correction: middle name.. middle name..
	11:05pm northguineahills: BH: Elvis' stillborn twin's brother was Aaron, hence his middle name...
	11:07pm diciassette: Hello hello!
	11:07pm Zipperhead7: Was the twin Jesse Garon Presley? "Elvis Presley" . . . you can't make up a name like that
	11:08pm Carmichael: Heya dicia.
	11:08pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, I'm the worst kind of Catholic. I had a girlfriend who was raised in an ultra liberal Jewish house, with no religious anything. She's still on some sort of spiritual quest where as I am a gleeful agnostic.
	11:11pm Franco Twinkie: Sara, you might not be yapping on the comment board, but you're in sync for sure.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: greetings Sara? questionable listeners?
	11:12pm Franco Twinkie: Coel!
	11:12pm Sara A: haha oh wow yes all that talk of religion subconsciously seeping into my brain
	11:12pm northguineahills: The girl I moved to nyc w/ was jewish. but, i had to explain all of the rituals in temple, and for her relative weddings, bat mitzvahs etc (i've only read about them at the time), as she had no idea. (and I grew up in a methodist family)
	11:13pm Franco Twinkie: Interesting.
	11:13pm Zipperhead7: Watched an interesting film recently -- "Corpus Christi," about a kid who is paroled from juvie in Poland and masquerades as a priest.
	11:14pm Richy4619: sara, you are ripping
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: hey Franco!
	11:15pm northguineahills: @zipperhead: i bet there were references to jan pawel ii (as for any polish catholic touchstone).
	11:16pm Sara A: thank you richy !!
	11:18pm Franco Twinkie: I pretty much scoffed at all the Catholic indoctrination I was subjected to as kid, then I started dropping acid and met Lucifer himself. I'm convinced Satan is on a square of blotter waiting to be released inside the unsuspecting.
	11:19pm ledzeppelinsucks: Geoff Gilbert used to do a show called Brain Pain on KCMU in the mid 80s. He played this song.
	11:20pm Carmichael: I grew up in Ireland and had no choice. But after 8th grade in the US, it was over.
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: lucifer's a she. venus. it's catholic brainwashing that it's "the devil" ...part of their plan to take power away from females
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: (and paganism)
	11:23pm Franco Twinkie: I quit going to church after I was confirmed. But looking back, I have to admit I really liked it. Getting dressed up on Sunday morning was great fun.
	11:24pm tak: hah
	11:25pm Richy4619: ♫♬ ╊ (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
	11:25pm Carmichael: Love the vocals.
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: really?! i hated it! i hated every aspect of it and never listened, never knew what the hell was going on! just stood when everyone stood, kneeled when everyone kneeled... and i always hated formal costumes
	11:26pm northguineahills: this is a nice sndtrk as i'm reading about detroit techno and ny garage house....(oddly enough)
	11:26pm Carmichael: You’re a rebel, coel …
	11:27pm ledzeppellinsucks: 'Brain Pain. Jeff Gilbert hosted KCMU’s thrash/death metal show Brain Pain for several years. I can’t say for certain whether it aired in 1987, because there is nothing about it online, but 1987 sounds about right. Tom discovered it one evening in 1988 while scrolling over the FM dial and coming across Slayer’s “South of Heaven.” Tom and I would listen every week, even though 99% of the material sounded exactly the same, and even though 98% of that material sucked. Sure, he played Slayer, but he also played Wargasm, Possessed, and thousands of other bands never to be heard from again. Still, Gilbert was a huge presence around there, and we’d see him pretty regularly at shows and events. He also featured several local acts, like Forced Entry, Coven, and Bitter End, as well as Soundgarden—who sounded 0% like the other acts. Also, Brain Pain featured angry, despairing music—music for burnouts and losers--that bore no resemblance to the shlock found elsewhere on the FM dial, and that alone made his program interesting. Currently, Gilbert writes for and edits Mansplat magazine, available at finer strip clubs in the Seattle and Portland metropolitan areas. --Wm'

	11:28pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, I liked to look at the girls that weren't from my school.
	11:28pm Richy4619: same coela. always thought people were kooked on christ. just didn't vibe
	11:28pm diciassette: I used to take wonder bread, ball it up, flatten it, and pretend it was a wafer. I think that might have been the Catholicism. Also I am afraid of rulers for some reason.
	11:29pm Zipperhead7: I got an"education" from the good Sistahs of Our Lady of Precious Agony til 7th grade. Their attitude was that children were like horses and needed to be broken
	11:30pm laurapanic: Zipperhead, its pretty fucked up isn't it. There are still figures of authority in institutions/schoolss who believe that, even if they can no longer legally physically harm kids.
	11:30pm coelacanth∅: Franco i think we stopped going before i had learned to appreciate strangergirls
	11:30pm JetBoy now of Astoria: Hi all - enjoying the show tonight!
	11:31pm Jim the Poet: löving it
	11:31pm Brian Smith: So it's Sarah, eh ?
	11:32pm Franco Twinkie: My sister got me to eat dirt by telling me it was Nestles Quick. That was WAY worst that eternal damnation.
	11:34pm Zipperhead7: I remember Father Lynch wagging his finger at us firstgraders and intoning "The thought is the deed, children . . . the thought is the deed"
	11:34pm Brian Smith.: Gawd I love WFMU
	11:35pm jlumb: \m/ \m/
	11:35pm Sara A: thanks guys !!!
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: we stopped going to church on sundays around xmas time when i was ....6? 5? going to saturday night mass to avoid having to go with my grandparents who came for the holiday. we got dressed up, in the car, making sacreligious jokes as usual, and my father just drove past the church. we were early, so my mom assumed he'd turn around, but he kept going. we drove around for an hour looking at xmas decorations. for years my grandmother asked if i'd had communion yet and i had to pretend i knew what the hell she was talking about. she was smart and surely knew though.
	11:36pm Carmichael: My rebel move was to grow my hair long and part it in the middle. My da was raised in a convent and used to take us to the barber for our Devo haircuts. He didn’t dig it.
	11:36pm diciassette: Yessss
	11:37pm Scott67: There is no god but Dog! & I'm sitting with mine, in Spring Sunshine sippin a beer. All Praise Dog! 🌏☀️📻🎶🍻😎🤙👣🐶🐾🐾
	11:37pm Richy4619: yes, When did you deviate from gawd?
	11:38pm coelacanth∅: Zipperhead -the first thought police
	11:38pm Franco Twinkie: When the concept of sin was explained as marks on your soul that god could see, I imagined a silhouette of a boy made out of wax paper covered in mold spots.
	11:39pm pgalub: Hey Sara A and everyone. Enjoying the show.
	11:41pm Zipperhead7: In 1970, the local paper (Tulsa World) sent a couple of reporters out on the streets wearing Beatle wigs (!!!) and they wrote a story about how they were hassled by rednecks and refused service in restaurants. Ten years later the rednecks had long hair and the hip kids had short spiky hair
	11:41pm Brian Smith: Richy, thanks for catching Gawd.
	11:41pm coelacanth∅: Carmichael my older brother & i worked on them for a long time to grow our hair long. it was always a compromise, because i wanted to look like George Harrison or John Kay. but every haircut, it got a little longer! by 6th grade mine was to my shoulders and my friends' older sisters liked me!
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: haha Franco! -didn't see that coming!
	11:42pm ledzeppelinsucks: My mother drove my sister and I to the Lutheran church on Sunday. My mother walked to the adult service and my sister went to the class for her age. My mom handed us each money in envelopes intended for the church. I walked toward my class and made sure the others were clear before I bolted for the nearby mall for Donuts and candy. I met them at the car an hour later.
	11:44pm Sara A: hi pgalub, thnx!
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: nice work lzs!
	11:45pm northguineahills: @zipperhead: you ask, and you shall receive (cocteau twins)
	11:46pm ultradamno: Head Over Heels is an underappreciated CT album, possibly my favorite
	11:46pm coelacanth∅: Zipper i remember that happening...but where i lived i was still mocked and called a girl, right up through high school
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, the hair thing. It still works! Not that long ago I ran into the last woman I went out with before Chresti and I started living together. She grabbed by hair hair and said "I like this."
	11:48pm Zipperhead7: Thanx Sara!
	11:48pm Richy4619: ♪┏(·o· )┛♪┗( ·o·)┓
	11:49pm northguineahills: @coel: I moved back from Japan in 1989 to FL, and had shoulder length blonde hair, and was called a girl by the bullies until I hit my growth spurt a year later... (my hair is now dark brown, thanks puberty!)
	11:50pm coelacanth∅: the moon & the melodies is also an underappreciated album. i actually never knew it was the cocteau twins until a few months ago because the original pressing has just their individual names on it (with Harold Budd) excellent album.
	11:51pm Jason Lee: I’m liking this whole direction very much…
	11:52pm ultradamno: Yeah, took me a second to realize which one you meant even, because I always think of it as 'the Harold Budd one', but I agree. Then Robin lost his pedals....
	11:53pm Carmichael: I’m normally into jangly guitars and slick singing, but I liked this whole set. Thanks Sara!
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: haha,Franco that's funny and coincidental! but never mind
	11:54pm Zipperhead7: I can't imagine Robin without his pedals
	11:54pm northguineahills: man, what a blast thanks Sara and A-traks!
	11:54pm Carmichael: Bob cover
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, one of these days I'll tell you how I fucked that one up.
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: ultra i actually bought it because of Harold Budd -had no clue who those others are or what the album sounded like. ...lost his pedals?
	11:56pm pp: closure, C&C approximating Dylan
	11:56pm Scott67: Thanks Sara! A great Show is never in question! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🌻
	11:56pm northguineahills: i've been pining for roger mcguinn this week, thx!
	11:56pm Sara A: thank you guys !!! sorry for being mia this show, glad you all stuck around :))
	11:56pm ledzeppelinsucks: top show, thanks
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: happy you're remaining on the schedule Sara!
	11:57pm diciassette: Thank you Sara A!
	11:58pm Zipperhead7: Wow, it's almost midnight! Great fun to hang out with y'all. Religion, haircuts, you name it. Have a good week!
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: gonna be tight... 3-minute song i think!
	11:58pm Sara A: thank you, me too ! i'll be sticking around, same time :)
	11:58pm Franco Twinkie: PERFECT!! Thanks Sara.
	11:59pm Zipperhead7: He gotta fuzzbox and he gonna use it!
	11:59pm Richy4619: (ヘ･_･)ヘ┳━┳ tY Sara A!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Sara!
	12:01am Sara A: bye guys !!
	12:04am ultradamno: @coel Yeah, seemed that way to me on subsequent Cocteau records and I lost interest
	12:09am ultradamno: The Birthday Party got them on 4AD, by the way "it was that big guitar noise you got on ‘The Friend Catcher’ that was one of the things that inspired us" cocteautwins.com...

	10:26pm Franco Twinkie: Hey Sara and everybody.
	10:27pm planetjulie: lmao scatology IS a classic
	10:28pm Sara A: heh heh ;-P hi jolieee
	10:28pm Sara A: hi ngh, will, zipperhead, ken and franco!
	10:29pm Scobot: God! This Jan & Lorraine is incredible!
	10:29pm northguineahills: what scobot said....
	10:30pm Scobot: Sounds like the Roches on cough syrup.
	10:31pm northguineahills: a little abba goes a long way....
	10:31pm Sara A: very true ngh !
	10:32pm Zipperhead7: I had a debate with a friend the other day as to whether or not the Cocteau Twins were like a psychedelic Abba
	10:34pm Scobot: Every time I hear the beginning of S.O.S, I think intro to Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five/Wings.
	10:36pm Franco Twinkie: I remember when S.O.S. was current. You NEVER heard a critical knowing critique of their thing. Maybe in The Village Voice a snide dismissal, but other that that where, Cream?
	10:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: That time Smithers had Waterloo on the tape - www.frinkiac.com...
	10:36pm Yes: hey yall
	10:37pm Franco Twinkie: Great version of Born Yo Be Burned. Ragged and raw.
	10:37pm northguineahills: i gotta to revisit that one, ken.....
	10:37pm Zipperhead7: I remember reading an interview with Joe Strummer in which he said he was a huge Abba fan
	10:38pm Scobot: -25 pts for Strummer.
	10:38pm Carmichael: Their production values were incredible.
	10:40pm Carmichael: The official FMU tiki torches are lit 🔥 🔥🔥.
	10:41pm Franco Twinkie: There you go. Joe Strummer didn't have to strike a pose and diss anybody. Wait a minute! No Elvis Beatles or The Rolling Stones. But that was agit-prop, not his heart talking.
	10:42pm Zipperhead7: Good point, Franco
	10:43pm northguineahills: yes, it's heart!
	10:46pm Carmichael: Ngh, you heard Heart about 30 seconds before it came on here …
	10:46pm Franco Twinkie: Patti Smith use to sing You Light Up My Life, and she wasn't been ironic. Well, maybe a little bit. But It didn't come of that way.
	10:46pm pp: ❤ approximating Joni Mitchell
	10:47pm Scobot: My favorite Heart album.
	10:47pm Richy4619: it's sundown in the sunset neighborhood
	10:47pm northguineahills: @Carmichael: I'm usually about 90 seconds behind people in nycland, hmmmm (maybe just the terrestrial listeners)
	10:49pm wenzo toad in Detroit: Cool show, thanks!
	10:49pm Franco Twinkie: Hi Richy! The sunset in L.A. was magnificent tonight. After a hellacious day, the sky was beyond awesome.
	10:50pm ledzeppelinsucks: These Wilson sisters are from Bellevue, my home town.
	10:51pm Franco Twinkie: Sin Control is a feature that was never installed in me.
	10:51pm Scobot: Sounds like Jim O'Rourke produced this track.
	10:52pm northguineahills: sin control is an interlingual antonym. (w/o control vs control of sin) (espanol vs english)
	10:53pm Richy4619: nice, franco. stay cool! i'm debating going back out for a walk with my headphones. it's a good night for it
	10:54pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, how does a Jew mitigate sin with a Mexican wife?
	10:55pm Carmichael: It’s finally down to about 95 here. One more week of hellish temps and summer will be over. Hopefully.
	10:56pm Zipperhead7: Even though I threw it all away a couple of years ago, I still have start-of-semester anxiety dreams. Last night I dreamt I was getting ready to copy syllabi an hour before class and found a python on the copy machine.
	10:57pm Franco Twinkie: Whoa!
	10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Zipper, you're a professor?
	10:58pm northguineahills: @franco: ftr, ex-wife. I've gotten this a lot in the South, although my parents gave me a traditional jewish first name, my parents are wasps (unless they're secretly conversios). At the shelter where I volunteer, they used to call me 'jewish boy', until i disabused them of using such nomenclature.
	11:00pm Zipperhead7: Was. I had a good run and had a helluva good time, but figured it was time to go when everything went online with covid
	11:00pm Scobot: Quite a rarefied chat room this evening.
	11:01pm Sara A: hi everyone!! sorry i'm a bit mia in the chat. thanks for being here
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: Excuse me Aron, I made that assumption myself. Aron of course is an Irish name as well.
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: English lit?
	11:03pm northguineahills: (i sort of never announced that i got a divorce, two years ago, during the pandemic)
	11:04pm Zipperhead7: Communications and media studies. It was great because it has little academic legitimacy so I could do whatever i wanted -- taught classes on popular music, modernity, etc.
	11:04pm BH: remembver that Elvis's liddle name was Aron (until he changed it)
	11:04pm Richy4619: ☆ﾟ♪-.┗(｀ー´)┓┏(＾0＾)┛♬·。ﾟ
	11:04pm BH: correction: middle name.. middle name..
	11:05pm northguineahills: BH: Elvis' stillborn twin's brother was Aaron, hence his middle name...
	11:07pm diciassette: Hello hello!
	11:07pm Zipperhead7: Was the twin Jesse Garon Presley? "Elvis Presley" . . . you can't make up a name like that
	11:08pm Carmichael: Heya dicia.
	11:08pm Franco Twinkie: NGH, I'm the worst kind of Catholic. I had a girlfriend who was raised in an ultra liberal Jewish house, with no religious anything. She's still on some sort of spiritual quest where as I am a gleeful agnostic.
	11:11pm Franco Twinkie: Sara, you might not be yapping on the comment board, but you're in sync for sure.
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: greetings Sara? questionable listeners?
	11:12pm Franco Twinkie: Coel!
	11:12pm Sara A: haha oh wow yes all that talk of religion subconsciously seeping into my brain
	11:12pm northguineahills: The girl I moved to nyc w/ was jewish. but, i had to explain all of the rituals in temple, and for her relative weddings, bat mitzvahs etc (i've only read about them at the time), as she had no idea. (and I grew up in a methodist family)
	11:13pm Franco Twinkie: Interesting.
	11:13pm Zipperhead7: Watched an interesting film recently -- "Corpus Christi," about a kid who is paroled from juvie in Poland and masquerades as a priest.
	11:14pm Richy4619: sara, you are ripping
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: hey Franco!
	11:15pm northguineahills: @zipperhead: i bet there were references to jan pawel ii (as for any polish catholic touchstone).
	11:16pm Sara A: thank you richy !!
	11:18pm Franco Twinkie: I pretty much scoffed at all the Catholic indoctrination I was subjected to as kid, then I started dropping acid and met Lucifer himself. I'm convinced Satan is on a square of blotter waiting to be released inside the unsuspecting.
	11:19pm ledzeppelinsucks: Geoff Gilbert used to do a show called Brain Pain on KCMU in the mid 80s. He played this song.
	11:20pm Carmichael: I grew up in Ireland and had no choice. But after 8th grade in the US, it was over.
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: lucifer's a she. venus. it's catholic brainwashing that it's "the devil" ...part of their plan to take power away from females
	11:22pm coelacanth∅: (and paganism)
	11:23pm Franco Twinkie: I quit going to church after I was confirmed. But looking back, I have to admit I really liked it. Getting dressed up on Sunday morning was great fun.
	11:24pm tak: hah
	11:25pm Richy4619: ♫♬ ╊ (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
	11:25pm Carmichael: Love the vocals.
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: really?! i hated it! i hated every aspect of it and never listened, never knew what the hell was going on! just stood when everyone stood, kneeled when everyone kneeled... and i always hated formal costumes
	11:26pm northguineahills: this is a nice sndtrk as i'm reading about detroit techno and ny garage house....(oddly enough)
	11:26pm Carmichael: You’re a rebel, coel …
	11:27pm ledzeppellinsucks: 'Brain Pain. Jeff Gilbert hosted KCMU’s thrash/death metal show Brain Pain for several years. I can’t say for certain whether it aired in 1987, because there is nothing about it online, but 1987 sounds about right. Tom discovered it one evening in 1988 while scrolling over the FM dial and coming across Slayer’s “South of Heaven.” Tom and I would listen every week, even though 99% of the material sounded exactly the same, and even though 98% of that material sucked. Sure, he played Slayer, but he also played Wargasm, Possessed, and thousands of other bands never to be heard from again. Still, Gilbert was a huge presence around there, and we’d see him pretty regularly at shows and events. He also featured several local acts, like Forced Entry, Coven, and Bitter End, as well as Soundgarden—who sounded 0% like the other acts. Also, Brain Pain featured angry, despairing music—music for burnouts and losers--that bore no resemblance to the shlock found elsewhere on the FM dial, and that alone made his program interesting. Currently, Gilbert writes for and edits Mansplat magazine, available at finer strip clubs in the Seattle and Portland metropolitan areas. --Wm'

	11:28pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, I liked to look at the girls that weren't from my school.
	11:28pm Richy4619: same coela. always thought people were kooked on christ. just didn't vibe
	11:28pm diciassette: I used to take wonder bread, ball it up, flatten it, and pretend it was a wafer. I think that might have been the Catholicism. Also I am afraid of rulers for some reason.
	11:29pm Zipperhead7: I got an"education" from the good Sistahs of Our Lady of Precious Agony til 7th grade. Their attitude was that children were like horses and needed to be broken
	11:30pm laurapanic: Zipperhead, its pretty fucked up isn't it. There are still figures of authority in institutions/schoolss who believe that, even if they can no longer legally physically harm kids.
	11:30pm coelacanth∅: Franco i think we stopped going before i had learned to appreciate strangergirls
	11:30pm JetBoy now of Astoria: Hi all - enjoying the show tonight!
	11:31pm Jim the Poet: löving it
	11:31pm Brian Smith: So it's Sarah, eh ?
	11:32pm Franco Twinkie: My sister got me to eat dirt by telling me it was Nestles Quick. That was WAY worst that eternal damnation.
	11:34pm Zipperhead7: I remember Father Lynch wagging his finger at us firstgraders and intoning "The thought is the deed, children . . . the thought is the deed"
	11:34pm Brian Smith.: Gawd I love WFMU
	11:35pm jlumb: \m/ \m/
	11:35pm Sara A: thanks guys !!!
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: we stopped going to church on sundays around xmas time when i was ....6? 5? going to saturday night mass to avoid having to go with my grandparents who came for the holiday. we got dressed up, in the car, making sacreligious jokes as usual, and my father just drove past the church. we were early, so my mom assumed he'd turn around, but he kept going. we drove around for an hour looking at xmas decorations. for years my grandmother asked if i'd had communion yet and i had to pretend i knew what the hell she was talking about. she was smart and surely knew though.
	11:36pm Carmichael: My rebel move was to grow my hair long and part it in the middle. My da was raised in a convent and used to take us to the barber for our Devo haircuts. He didn’t dig it.
	11:36pm diciassette: Yessss
	11:37pm Scott67: There is no god but Dog! & I'm sitting with mine, in Spring Sunshine sippin a beer. All Praise Dog! 🌏☀️📻🎶🍻😎🤙👣🐶🐾🐾
	11:37pm Richy4619: yes, When did you deviate from gawd?
	11:38pm coelacanth∅: Zipperhead -the first thought police
	11:38pm Franco Twinkie: When the concept of sin was explained as marks on your soul that god could see, I imagined a silhouette of a boy made out of wax paper covered in mold spots.
	11:39pm pgalub: Hey Sara A and everyone. Enjoying the show.
	11:41pm Zipperhead7: In 1970, the local paper (Tulsa World) sent a couple of reporters out on the streets wearing Beatle wigs (!!!) and they wrote a story about how they were hassled by rednecks and refused service in restaurants. Ten years later the rednecks had long hair and the hip kids had short spiky hair
	11:41pm Brian Smith: Richy, thanks for catching Gawd.
	11:41pm coelacanth∅: Carmichael my older brother & i worked on them for a long time to grow our hair long. it was always a compromise, because i wanted to look like George Harrison or John Kay. but every haircut, it got a little longer! by 6th grade mine was to my shoulders and my friends' older sisters liked me!
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: haha Franco! -didn't see that coming!
	11:42pm ledzeppelinsucks: My mother drove my sister and I to the Lutheran church on Sunday. My mother walked to the adult service and my sister went to the class for her age. My mom handed us each money in envelopes intended for the church. I walked toward my class and made sure the others were clear before I bolted for the nearby mall for Donuts and candy. I met them at the car an hour later.
	11:44pm Sara A: hi pgalub, thnx!
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: nice work lzs!
	11:45pm northguineahills: @zipperhead: you ask, and you shall receive (cocteau twins)
	11:46pm ultradamno: Head Over Heels is an underappreciated CT album, possibly my favorite
	11:46pm coelacanth∅: Zipper i remember that happening...but where i lived i was still mocked and called a girl, right up through high school
	11:48pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, the hair thing. It still works! Not that long ago I ran into the last woman I went out with before Chresti and I started living together. She grabbed by hair hair and said "I like this."
	11:48pm Zipperhead7: Thanx Sara!
	11:48pm Richy4619: ♪┏(·o· )┛♪┗( ·o·)┓
	11:49pm northguineahills: @coel: I moved back from Japan in 1989 to FL, and had shoulder length blonde hair, and was called a girl by the bullies until I hit my growth spurt a year later... (my hair is now dark brown, thanks puberty!)
	11:50pm coelacanth∅: the moon & the melodies is also an underappreciated album. i actually never knew it was the cocteau twins until a few months ago because the original pressing has just their individual names on it (with Harold Budd) excellent album.
	11:51pm Jason Lee: I’m liking this whole direction very much…
	11:52pm ultradamno: Yeah, took me a second to realize which one you meant even, because I always think of it as 'the Harold Budd one', but I agree. Then Robin lost his pedals....
	11:53pm Carmichael: I’m normally into jangly guitars and slick singing, but I liked this whole set. Thanks Sara!
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: haha,Franco that's funny and coincidental! but never mind
	11:54pm Zipperhead7: I can't imagine Robin without his pedals
	11:54pm northguineahills: man, what a blast thanks Sara and A-traks!
	11:54pm Carmichael: Bob cover
	11:55pm Franco Twinkie: Coel, one of these days I'll tell you how I fucked that one up.
	11:55pm coelacanth∅: ultra i actually bought it because of Harold Budd -had no clue who those others are or what the album sounded like. ...lost his pedals?
	11:56pm pp: closure, C&C approximating Dylan
	11:56pm Scott67: Thanks Sara! A great Show is never in question! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🌻
	11:56pm northguineahills: i've been pining for roger mcguinn this week, thx!
	11:56pm Sara A: thank you guys !!! sorry for being mia this show, glad you all stuck around :))
	11:56pm ledzeppelinsucks: top show, thanks
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: happy you're remaining on the schedule Sara!
	11:57pm diciassette: Thank you Sara A!
	11:58pm Zipperhead7: Wow, it's almost midnight! Great fun to hang out with y'all. Religion, haircuts, you name it. Have a good week!
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: gonna be tight... 3-minute song i think!
	11:58pm Sara A: thank you, me too ! i'll be sticking around, same time :)
	11:58pm Franco Twinkie: PERFECT!! Thanks Sara.
	11:59pm Zipperhead7: He gotta fuzzbox and he gonna use it!
	11:59pm Richy4619: (ヘ･_･)ヘ┳━┳ tY Sara A!
	11:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Sara!
	12:01am Sara A: bye guys !!
	12:04am ultradamno: @coel Yeah, seemed that way to me on subsequent Cocteau records and I lost interest
	12:09am ultradamno: The Birthday Party got them on 4AD, by the way "it was that big guitar noise you got on ‘The Friend Catcher’ that was one of the things that inspired us" cocteautwins.com...
