Listener comments!
	7:55pm Don-O: If a GIF can be considered a X-mas card, would have to be this!
	7:57pm Rich in Washington: Hi Don-O! I'm in the kitchen making coffee. Make yourselves at home!
	7:59pm Don-O: You're up after The Ghostly Trio jazz.....
	8:00pm ultradamno: Rich! Diggocrates!
	8:01pm MHLee: Something terrible
	8:01pm Rich in Washington: here we go
	8:01pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Rich, folks!
	8:02pm Cp304: I say this every morning before work, and Friday evenings
	8:02pm Bri: I love listening to the shipping forecast before this comes on
	8:02pm ironybread: Something terrible IS happening...this show gif is adhering to Hollywood rules for every movie being made of only the colors blue and copper!
	8:02pm Don-O: Casey?!
	8:02pm Cp304: F snuggles
	8:02pm Mr Fab: Thanks for the merry craps-mess, DOn-O!
	8:03pm ironybread: Take eight. Take nine. Fuckit. Take ten. #Snuggles
	8:03pm MHLee: F
	8:03pm Cp304: Yes, good crap as always Don-O
	8:04pm pot8o: hi rich!
	8:04pm Don-O: Snuggles fer X-mas?!?!
	8:04pm Cp304: Lol Rich.. I can smell the coffee brewing
	8:05pm Rich in Washington: hi everyone
	8:05pm ironybread: Sensational detective work finding this show clip, Rich
	8:05pm Rich in Washington: it's just now done and cooling off. I was in the kitchen pouring when I heard my deadman loop playing on the stream.
	8:05pm Bri: Shannon! Mom said this song reminds her of My aunt and uncle’s dog
	8:05pm Don-O: Thanks, guys! Let see how Rich makes this night "interesting"
	8:05pm pot8o: this song is only 3:50 but it feels like 35:00
	8:05pm Cp304: Like the one in total recall Don-o
	8:06pm Don-O: Those high notes are a bit a endurance test. Hell, I played ONJ for 45 freaking minutes earlier today.
	8:07pm Bri: This song reminds me of my aunt and uncle’s dog I never met named Shannon
	8:07pm Cp304: It's been a minute since I heard this
	8:07pm Pauly from Clifton: I remember this song playing in our '73 Nova. I never made the connection about Shannon being a dog.
	8:07pm Bri: Same lol
	8:07pm Kat in Chicago: It's much more enjoyable to hear now than it was in the 70s when it was constantly on the radio.
	8:08pm WR: Endearing symmetry, K C Kasem tear jerker dedication opening and then the ear jerker song that completes the cycle of terribleness. Source of distress and pain I didn't even know existed. TIA, Rich.
	8:08pm Cp304: I never knew either Pauly
	8:08pm Kat in Chicago: I'm a sucker for falsetto
	8:08pm Bri: I texted mom a picture of Shannon, she asked if she was my new boyfriend
	8:09pm WR: Context Kat, Rich has given us context to approach it.
	8:09pm Cp304: Haha Bri
	8:09pm Bri: Lol
	8:10pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone! Sorry I'm busy mixin' stuff to chat much!
	8:10pm Bri: Mark E smith makes an appearance in my free association fanfiction, except I purposely misspell his name every time!
	8:10pm Androu B.: Hi Rich, Don-O, ironybread & Cratediggers! Just so happens it's now been 12 days since my mother's beloved beagle passed away. So "Shannon" was just sort-of-perfect as closure for that sad day.
	8:11pm Bri: Oh no! I’m sorry Androu
	8:11pm Don-O: The NNNNNNOOOOOOoooizzzzzzz.....
	8:12pm Don-O: Mix away, Rich!!!
	8:13pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow. Androu.. Hugs...
	8:13pm ironybread: Bless us and all our dogs Androu
	8:13pm Rich in Washington: Hello fellow apathy enthusiasts!
	8:14pm ironybread: Shame can't stop me from asking you all to please buy TISM's "Collected Versus" on CD, because I paid for the American edition! Buy a copy today and amplify your apathy!!!
	8:15pm Androu B.: @Bri, Thanks! She was only with us for at least two years. Since the day she was adopted, she'd been suffering mild depression and was terribly overweight. we're still figuring out what she died from, but we suspect it could be something she ate in the yard by accident.
	8:16pm Bri: Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that Androu
	8:16pm ironybread: And FYI every track on this CD has zero silence between each track because that's the only way we could fit all their singles on one disc! #IndustrySecrets
	8:16pm Kat in Chicago: Poor baby. Sorry to hear, Androu.
	8:16pm Rich in Washington: Nice!
	8:17pm Rich in Washington: This release is growing on me like a fungus. Love it! Kicking myself for being ignorant of the power and fury of TISM up until mere months ago, and you can pull quote me on that!
	8:17pm ironybread: TISM just did their first official gig in 19 years at the Good Things festival in Oz...here's a video of the full set. It's ridiculous, ridiculous, and ridiculous: www.youtube.com...
	8:21pm Androu B.: Yerknow (as RevRab would say)...TISM could be Oz's answer to Mindless Self Indulgence! In fact, I wouldn't be too surprised if both bands might one day tour together.
	8:21pm Bri: Omg he’s the guy that sing blind Man’s penis!
	8:22pm Rich in Washington: Yes, the same. I mean, a professional song shark sang BMP but the same songwriter.
	8:23pm Cp304: I first heard of defecation on the face in beauty school, hot Carl is what they called it, so when our pal graduated we gave her a cake with a Barbi doll face up, seran wrap on face with little chocolate cake sprinkles on it
	8:24pm Cp304: Your mom is cool rich
	8:24pm MHLee: The song sharks name was Ramsey or Rosemary or something. He just died in the last couple years. I actually had him on some obscure rockabilly comps
	8:25pm Bri: I still Need to see that documentary
	8:25pm ultradamno: Mindless Self Indulgence? Hmmm...I was thinking of that group that dressed like monkeys
	8:26pm Rich in Washington: Ramsey Kearney. He's in the doc. It's a hoot and a half.
	8:27pm Kat in Chicago: I've seen it. On Youtube I think
	8:27pm Don-O: I assume off the record is on some stream channel of sorts. It's been forever since I've seen it.
	8:27pm Rich in Washington: Maybe I'll play Blind Man's Penis later for funsies.
	8:28pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, it pops up from time to time and some copyright holder killjoy takes it down. I ended up buying it on Vimeo.
	8:28pm Kat in Chicago: I remember reading about Blind Man's Penis in SPIN magazine :)
	8:29pm WR: ironybread, is there a link to the US TISM CD? Bandcamp is digital only, that I see.
	8:29pm Rich in Washington: Me too, Kat!
	8:29pm ultradamno: By the way, my CD of that Russian comp Война that got played here finally arrived last week (after about a month, usual production delays common these days), it's a very attractive object and a great record toposmedia.bandcamp.com...
	8:30pm Rich in Washington: I think you can buy it from Seeland Records, WR.
	8:30pm Rich in Washington: negativland.com...
	8:31pm Rich in Washington: @Kat: remember when Spin was really cool?
	8:31pm WR: thanks Rich negativland.com...
	8:32pm Kat in Chicago: The Necks are so lovely. I kind of wish I had a two hour show again just so I could play them
	8:32pm ultradamno: I remember they had Lydia Lunch interview Pat Benatar, it proved love is a battlefield
	8:33pm Kat in Chicago: Rich, SPIN was awesome back in the day. Opened my world up quite a bit.
	8:33pm Rich in Washington: I remember that too.
	8:33pm Rich in Washington: Magazines and zines were our internet. My lifeline while growing up in hillbilly land.
	8:34pm ultradamno: Trying to remember which one of those music docs with Byron Coley as a talking head it was where he talked about doing their underground coverage until they declared it irrelevant
	8:34pm Rich in Washington: My monthly or so pilgrimages to Tower Records and 2nd Avenue Records and Powell's Books were life-changing.
	8:35pm Rich in Washington: oh wow. Lemme know if you figure out which one that was. Coley's reviews in Forced Exposure were a touchstone later on.
	8:36pm Don-O: Someone at my last job gave me a copy of Sex. You could meditate from that album
	8:37pm Don-O: thenecksau.bandcamp.com
	8:37pm ultradamno: It's one of these, the Borbetomagus one is the only one I haven't see...I'm leaning toward the Jandek one www.imdb.com...
	8:37pm Kat in Chicago: I've seen them live once. the set was too short!
	8:38pm ultradamno: Actually, I haven't seen the New York Noise "tv series" either, but I am intrigued
	8:38pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Don-O! I accidentally left it blank!
	8:39pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow. I had no idea there was a Borbetomagus doc!
	8:41pm Androu B.: About the John Trubee cover art: The character on the left looks like an aging Thanos.
	8:41pm ultradamno: Apparently on vimeo...I might be looking at it soon vimeo.com...
	8:43pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, ultra!
	8:50pm WR: Thanks, ultra!
	8:51pm ultradamno: Raymond Pettibon has been discovering digital art and the results are getting awesome twitter.com...
	8:52pm ultradamno: The Shaggs twitter.com... RIP JET
	8:54pm ironybread: HOW, how I say, how I do see "Possession"? Goddamned Netflix has downgraded it to the "Save" category, meaning you put it on a wish list and Netflix never mails it to you because they have one rental copy in the whole world and some guy in Pahrump, Nevada rented it in 2009 and won't return it
	8:55pm ultradamno: Gif of Jet playing this very song early on at the Roxy twitter.com...
	8:55pm Rich in Washington: I think I have it on one of thousands of burned DVDRs from when I used to rent from a fucking incredible local shop called Brain Candy.
	8:56pm Rich in Washington: I love the clip of The Stranglers on Top Of The Pops where they're totally taking a piss and all are on the wrong instruments.
	8:56pm ultradamno: Which Possession are we talking about?
	8:57pm Rich in Washington: The 1981 film by Andrzej Żuławski with Isabel Anjani and Sam Neil. It's fucking nuts.
	8:58pm ultradamno: Apparently being cordial to The Stranglers played into Glen Matlock getting fired from Sex Pistols, just one of his clashes with Rotten
	8:58pm Cp304: I first heard this on Ken's, and was like who's this!
	9:01pm Rich in Washington: I was too stupid to appreciate The Stranglers when I was young. Something about their musicianship sort of seemed Proggish, or something. Dumb.
	9:04pm ultradamno: The Manzarekness of the keyboards and their overall olderness set them apart from the punk pack (and the sexism)
	9:05pm ultradamno: The first two are as great as anything though. I love B&W too, but it's a less solid, but the cover graphic is iconic.
	9:06pm ultradamno: ...a *little less, that is
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: funny you should mention... I recall listening to this at a workplace and someone walked in during the extended organ solo and they said 'whoa! is this The Doors?'
	9:07pm Cp304: Who's on keys?
	9:08pm ultradamno: I once infuriated the drummer of The Repellents more than I think I have anyone in my life by making that observation, it was pretty hilarious. @cp Dave Greenfield, who passed a couple years ago
	9:09pm Cp304: Props to Dave, rip
	9:09pm Rich in Washington: I can't remember if I did a Strangler's set when Greenfield passed away. Maybe on my other show.
	9:10pm Rich in Washington: I still say they aren't quite The Stranglers without Hugh, though. Now they're really not.
	9:10pm ultradamno: I don't know if I made this connection in front of him at the time though twitter.com...
	9:10pm Rich in Washington: I think JJ is the only original member now.
	9:11pm Rich in Washington: I remember that, ultra!
	9:12pm sufferwords: dug the shout out to your moms
	9:14pm ultradamno: I remember giving away Hooverdam online years ago, it's a pretty good record, even if he titled a song Philip K. Ridiculous
	9:17pm Rich in Washington: "shout out' made me remember when I once followed a Hip Hop show so for the first half hour or so, I would get all these calls to the air room wanting to give shout outs over the air (something the previous show did) and when I'd patiently tell them this was another program, they would still insist and get mad that I wouldn't do it.
	9:18pm Rich in Washington: I'm telling you, it was Philip K. Ridiculous...
	9:18pm coelacanth∅: good evening Rich, lungers
	9:19pm ultradamno: I remember *Cornwell giving it away, not me, that is....
	9:21pm Rich in Washington: Hi coelacanth∅!
	9:25pm Bri: My fave Strangler’s song!
	9:26pm Cp304: These lyrics feel like my life
	9:28pm Bri: Same here
	9:29pm ultradamno: I think Burning Up Time is mine...though I love Straighten Out from that bonus 7" ep that was better than the album it came with
	9:30pm Zipperhead7: Hi diggerz . . . today was a real slog, listening to lots of "alternative' tracks on a college station to take the pulse of young America. Much of it was so lame that if you put it on your turntable, the tone arm would go limp.
	9:30pm Bri: I hate college radio these days
	9:31pm Bri: My local college station plays pop punk emo crap all day long
	9:32pm Kat in Chicago: I'm on a college station but I quit actually listening to the station a long time ago, except for my friends' electronic shows. The stuff in rotation is mostly lame as hell.
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Zipperhead!
	9:32pm Zipperhead7: That sums it up -- "pop punk emo crap"
	9:33pm MHLee: @Kat, I do college radio. A lot of it is quite lame.
	9:33pm Zipperhead7: Hi there coelacanth∅!
	9:34pm Rich in Washington: Hi Zipperhead7!
	9:34pm Aitch: In late, missed a couple of shows, Saturday stuff to do...
	9:34pm MHLee: We umm are dysfunctional. Wet Leg gets played a lot
	9:35pm Rich in Washington: Better Aitch than never!
	9:35pm Aitch: Hey Rich and crew!
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: i had a button around when this album came out, though i don't recall that it came with the album... "if it ain't stiff it ain't worth a fuck". i somehow never got in trouble for wearing it in school, and someone quoted it when she signed my yearbook. it disappeared.
	9:36pm Rich in Washington: I did college radio for about a year at the college station that was within walking distance of my workplace. I was the world's oldest college DJ.
	9:36pm Kat in Chicago: I don't think mine is even playing Wet Leg. Weyes Blood is about as good as they seem to get right now.
	9:37pm ultradamno: I noticed Wet Leg didn't make Pitchfork's year end list, I guess Jock Strap got that one spot
	9:38pm Rich in Washington: maybe not really the world's oldest but they tried hard making me feel that way.
	9:38pm Zipperhead7: I have a burning desire to learn bass. Can't decide whether to screw together a "partscaster" or run the racks at a music store -- latter potentially humiiating as I don't know how to play bass and don't know anyone who does. Working in a music store must be a special kind of hell.
	9:39pm Kat in Chicago: I did my first show at WLUW a month before my 53rd birthday, but since I wasn't playing their rotation I'm not sure it counts. They have some even older community members who do a public affairs-type show on the weekends.
	9:39pm ultradamno: I think those kind of pop punk emo groups are for people who went through the 90/00s without noticing New Zealand
	9:39pm Rich in Washington: there are some amazingly playable basses for really cheap now, Zipper
	9:41pm Aitch: Likewise on the bass, except I got a decent one for about $200 from Gumtree, like a local eBay
	9:42pm MHLee: Our rotation is just boring. There's some okay stuff but way too much boring singer songwriter
	9:42pm MHLee: my first bass was a vort headless... 99$
	9:42pm Rich in Washington: I also have a hankerin' to pick up a bass. Meanwhile the guitar I rebuild is just collecting dust.
	9:42pm Bri: Shit! they were playing Wet leg on my local alternative station which sucks ass
	9:43pm Rich in Washington: I've always wanted one of those.
	9:44pm Rich in Washington: I initially really liked Wet Leg but eventually felt like it was 'what if Aubrey Plaza was English and started an awkward band'.
	9:44pm ironybread: Hey Rich, can I get a shoutout to Daryl & Sandy, Bob & Marsha, Eddy & his steady Marlene, Bob & Sandy, Jumbo & Sadny, Mr. Himmler's homeroom class at Contact High, Dean & Joan, Daryl & Sandy, Pico & Doloros, Alvarado & Little Santa Monica, Bob & Eddy and his steady Marlene, Sandy and maybe the guy with the cute teeth at the Frosty Freeze last night, Daryl and Little Lucky, Mr. Himmler and Miss Parkinson, Eddy and Sandy, Frank and his mother, Sandy & Sandy & Harvey & Nobody
	9:45pm MHLee: Wet Leg is alright... I like the new Black Country New Road
	9:45pm Bri: Lol me too.
	9:45pm ultradamno: Well, that makes them sound better than I ever thought they were
	9:45pm Bri: On the shay Shlong
	9:45pm MHLee: That's an okay album in rotation
	9:45pm Bri: True
	9:45pm Zipperhead7: What kind of guitar you rebuilding, Rich? I put a Strat together out of parts and goddamn thing sounded like a banjo. Uh oh,Ironybread . . . sounds like you're building up to a Circus Liquors run
	9:46pm Rich in Washington: I bought this really abused and neglected Chinese Les Paul copy and restored and rewired it.
	9:46pm ultradamno: (I did like the furniture song, but was never really tempted to buy the record....but Plaza is a god)
	9:47pm Zipperhead7: A Chibson!
	9:47pm MHLee: Black Midi is cool. I always play a lot of obscure stuff. Like Sieben, the neofolk/punk violinist
	9:48pm ironybread: Zip - imagine 100 bottles of Pennsylvania Dutch Egg Nog in the back seat
	9:50pm Bri: Cool MHLee!
	9:52pm MHLee: I've been here longer than most of the staff. I can get away with anything. I run my dungeonsynth show which has regular listeners in the UK at some ungodly hour.
	9:54pm ultradamno: Have you ever seen the Ian Dury biopic (S&D&R&R)? It's an amazing artifact of someone making an entire movie about a person they hold in such contempt but over such generally low stakes.
	9:54pm ultradamno: I mean, I believe he was a dick, but it still seems petty
	9:54pm Rich in Washington: I have seen that! I probably need to rewatch it. I remember it was on Netflix back when Netflix had cool shit on it.
	9:55pm Bri: Aweosme MH
	9:55pm ultradamno: Netflix still has cool shit, they just cancel it very quickly, or it's Korean
	9:56pm Androu B.: Wow, I seem to remember the last time I saw "Live Stiffs" was at a Crazy Eddie's so long ago! In fact, they sold boatloads of CBS/Sony back releases with the "Nice Price" sticker on them, including a good number of Stiff releases here and there.
	9:56pm ultradamno: Now fucking Shudder is firing everyone.
	9:57pm ultradamno: Seems like this is the season of techbro mass layoffs
	9:57pm WR: Thank you, it's been a long time since I've listened to Costello's Miracle Man.
	10:00pm Zipperhead7: Songs like this make me want to play bass
	10:00pm Androu B.: EFD plays the studio version of this Ian Dury track as the backing for his DJ breaks everytime he fills in for Clay on Wake'n'Bake.
	10:01pm Rich in Washington: There's a P-bass copy on my local Craigslist that's super affordable and I'm actually thinking of dropping the coinage tomorrow.
	10:02pm sufferwords: saw this version of the Blockheads at the Roxy opening for Street Hassle Lou- snapped my brain
	10:03pm MHLee: There's a scene in Dr Whos... Rose can't believe that Ian Drury and the blockheads were a hit so they try to travel to 1982 and end up in 1882 i think
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: Ian Dury played a Cockney accent like Eric Clapton playing a Stratocaster. (I hate EC but it makes the joke work)
	10:06pm Bri: Omg I forgot that episode lol
	10:06pm Bri: This song takes me back to punk night at the bowling alley
	10:10pm ironybread: Thanks man, Sandy's gonna be so happy. Also Daryl
	10:12pm ultradamno: There's probably a more interesting Rachel Sweet biopic to be made, how they picked up this girl from Akron (who had toured with Bob Hope, Mickey Rooney and opened for Bill Cosby) with a protective father-manager and marketed her as jailbait.
	10:14pm ultradamno: There's an alternate timeline where Sweet is heralded as the godmother of 'alt-country'
	10:15pm Barno in Akron: Did someone say, Akron?
	10:15pm Dean: Saw Rachel Sweet at the Whisky. She was terrific.
	10:18pm ironybread: I wonder if southwestern Idaho really is the Ohio of the Rockies? I have no idea what that means, I'm just interested
	10:21pm ultradamno: Well, there is the spud connection
	10:21pm Zipperhead7: Sometimes I wish I still had twitter. A friend sent me a jpeg of a guy in a Burger King t-shirt lugging a cross, captioned "Burger King of Kings. He died so you could have it your way."
	10:22pm ultradamno: Jump back in, the dumpster fire just started
	10:25pm ironybread: Lovely, Zip. Twitter isn't dead yet, but it has been poisoned by Polonium. I'll stay onboard for a bit.
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: world's most awkward segue
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: Oh. just wait...
	10:30pm Rich in Washington: I think it's unfair to call current Twitter a dumpster fire. It's more like a Port-A-San explosion. Or a manure silo collapse.
	10:31pm sufferwords: oh shit I can recognize TISM now
	10:32pm ultradamno: For me, it hasn't really changed...but it kind of like I have a house overlooking Woodstock 99
	10:33pm Zipperhead7: Or a pismire implosion?
	10:35pm ultradamno: One of my favorite NWW tracks
	10:35pm ironybread: Sufferwords - you'll know it's all over when you recognize immediately whether Ron Hitler-Barassi, Humphrey B. Flaubert, or Jock Cheese is singing
	10:39pm ultradamno: Some Non talk on the Kitten Sparkles board yesterday
	10:40pm Rich in Washington: I think I might've been there. Was I?
	10:40pm sufferwords: sly ass motherfuckers- dig
	10:40pm ultradamno: ...though his record with Frank Tovey (Easy Listening For The Hard Of Hearing) is my favorite thing he's done. Well, that and Tikis @Rich I think you may have drove by
	10:41pm Dean: Yes, there was NON talk on Don's show.
	10:42pm Dean: Favorite has to be that first record with all the holes.
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: I used to do that with records. Hint: Get a brad bit type drill bit.
	10:44pm ultradamno: Does the little spike help keep it from breaking?
	10:48pm Zipperhead7: Remember those RCA Dynaflex LPs that you could practically bend in half? I had tonearms skitter all over them
	10:56pm Rich in Washington: It just keeps the bit from wandering around the record before it finally starts making a hole. And it makes a cleaner hole.
	10:58pm Rich in Washington: Oops. I'm gonna go a tiny bit over.
	10:59pm Zipperhead7: Thanx, Rich! Nice to revisit the old Stiffs
	11:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Zipperhead7! Thanks everyone!
	11:03pm Androu B.: Tonight's been one of your best shows, Rich! Thanks for the Stiff comp double-header, a real trip down Memory Lane for me! (And btw, you might want to let EFD in on those two pieces of vinyl treasure!)
	11:05pm ironybread: Thanks thanks thanks Rich, great noises once again tonight.
	11:06pm WR: Thank you! Rich! Sheena streamers! Onward.
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Rich!
	11:07pm MHLee: Thanks Rich
	11:08pm Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody! Had a sudden coughing fit. Damnation!
	11:08pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you Rich!
	11:09pm Rich in Washington: Thanks Kat! Thanks everyone! See y'all next week and thanks so much for being here!
	11:10pm ultradamno: There is something sinister about Jif having a 'natural' peanut butter....what was I eating the whole time I was a kid?

The Stranglers	Waltzinblack "Waltzinblack" by "The Stranglers"	The Gospel According To The Meninblack	Liberty	1981	RIP Brian John Duffy, aka Jet Black (1938 - 2022) From The Strangler's website: Jet Black, drummer of The Stranglers has passed away peacefully aged 84. Jet Black, born Brian John Duffy, passed away peacefully at home on Tue 6th Dec. A founding member of iconic British new-wave rock band The Stranglers, Jet helped the band achieve a prolific 23 top 40 singles and 19 top 40 albums in the official UK charts. As the ‘elder statesmen’ of the group, Jet was already a successful businessman in the Guildford area when The Stranglers formed in 1974. Jet owned a fleet of ice cream vans, one of which, as many fans will fondly remember, was used to tour the UK in the early years. Jet also owned an off licence, the upstairs apartment of which doubled as ‘Stranglers HQ’ in the early days. Jet retired from performing live with The Stranglers in 2015 having suffered with respiratory health issues since childhood. Despite difficulties in performing towards the end of his career, Jet’s charismatic charm resonated with fans who would endlessly chant his name as he took his place at the drums. As a drummer in jazz bands during the 60s, Jet’s playing style helped shape The Stranglers’ unique sound. On reaction to the news, bassist and co-frontman JJ Burnel said “The welcoming committee has doubled. After years of ill health Jet has finally been released. He was a force of nature. An inspiration. The Stranglers would not have been if it wasn’t for him. The most erudite of men. A rebel with many causes. Say hi to Dave for me.”	0:51:24 (Pop-up)

	7:57pm Rich in Washington: Hi Don-O! I'm in the kitchen making coffee. Make yourselves at home!

	8:02pm Bri: I love listening to the shipping forecast before this comes on
	8:02pm ironybread: Something terrible IS happening...this show gif is adhering to Hollywood rules for every movie being made of only the colors blue and copper!
	8:02pm Don-O: Casey?!

	8:02pm Mr Fab: Thanks for the merry craps-mess, DOn-O!

	8:04pm pot8o: hi rich!
	8:04pm Don-O: Snuggles fer X-mas?!?!
	8:04pm Cp304: Lol Rich.. I can smell the coffee brewing
	8:05pm Rich in Washington: hi everyone
	8:05pm ironybread: Sensational detective work finding this show clip, Rich
	8:05pm Rich in Washington: it's just now done and cooling off. I was in the kitchen pouring when I heard my deadman loop playing on the stream.
	8:05pm Bri: Shannon! Mom said this song reminds her of My aunt and uncle’s dog
	8:05pm Don-O: Thanks, guys! Let see how Rich makes this night "interesting"
	8:05pm pot8o: this song is only 3:50 but it feels like 35:00
	8:05pm Cp304: Like the one in total recall Don-o
	8:06pm Don-O: Those high notes are a bit a endurance test. Hell, I played ONJ for 45 freaking minutes earlier today.
	8:07pm Bri: This song reminds me of my aunt and uncle’s dog I never met named Shannon
	8:07pm Cp304: It's been a minute since I heard this
	8:07pm Pauly from Clifton: I remember this song playing in our '73 Nova. I never made the connection about Shannon being a dog.
	8:07pm Bri: Same lol
	8:07pm Kat in Chicago: It's much more enjoyable to hear now than it was in the 70s when it was constantly on the radio.
	8:08pm WR: Endearing symmetry, K C Kasem tear jerker dedication opening and then the ear jerker song that completes the cycle of terribleness. Source of distress and pain I didn't even know existed. TIA, Rich.
	8:08pm Cp304: I never knew either Pauly
	8:08pm Kat in Chicago: I'm a sucker for falsetto
	8:08pm Bri: I texted mom a picture of Shannon, she asked if she was my new boyfriend
	8:09pm WR: Context Kat, Rich has given us context to approach it.
	8:09pm Cp304: Haha Bri
	8:09pm Bri: Lol
	8:10pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone! Sorry I'm busy mixin' stuff to chat much!
	8:10pm Bri: Mark E smith makes an appearance in my free association fanfiction, except I purposely misspell his name every time!
	8:10pm Androu B.: Hi Rich, Don-O, ironybread & Cratediggers! Just so happens it's now been 12 days since my mother's beloved beagle passed away. So "Shannon" was just sort-of-perfect as closure for that sad day.
	8:11pm Bri: Oh no! I’m sorry Androu
	8:11pm Don-O: The NNNNNNOOOOOOoooizzzzzzz.....
	8:12pm Don-O: Mix away, Rich!!!
	8:13pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow. Androu.. Hugs...
	8:13pm ironybread: Bless us and all our dogs Androu
	8:13pm Rich in Washington: Hello fellow apathy enthusiasts!
	8:14pm ironybread: Shame can't stop me from asking you all to please buy TISM's "Collected Versus" on CD, because I paid for the American edition! Buy a copy today and amplify your apathy!!!
	8:15pm Androu B.: @Bri, Thanks! She was only with us for at least two years. Since the day she was adopted, she'd been suffering mild depression and was terribly overweight. we're still figuring out what she died from, but we suspect it could be something she ate in the yard by accident.
	8:16pm Bri: Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that Androu
	8:16pm ironybread: And FYI every track on this CD has zero silence between each track because that's the only way we could fit all their singles on one disc! #IndustrySecrets
	8:16pm Kat in Chicago: Poor baby. Sorry to hear, Androu.
	8:16pm Rich in Washington: Nice!
	8:17pm Rich in Washington: This release is growing on me like a fungus. Love it! Kicking myself for being ignorant of the power and fury of TISM up until mere months ago, and you can pull quote me on that!
	8:17pm ironybread: TISM just did their first official gig in 19 years at the Good Things festival in Oz...here's a video of the full set. It's ridiculous, ridiculous, and ridiculous: www.youtube.com...
	8:21pm Androu B.: Yerknow (as RevRab would say)...TISM could be Oz's answer to Mindless Self Indulgence! In fact, I wouldn't be too surprised if both bands might one day tour together.
	8:21pm Bri: Omg he’s the guy that sing blind Man’s penis!
	8:22pm Rich in Washington: Yes, the same. I mean, a professional song shark sang BMP but the same songwriter.
	8:23pm Cp304: I first heard of defecation on the face in beauty school, hot Carl is what they called it, so when our pal graduated we gave her a cake with a Barbi doll face up, seran wrap on face with little chocolate cake sprinkles on it
	8:24pm Cp304: Your mom is cool rich
	8:24pm MHLee: The song sharks name was Ramsey or Rosemary or something. He just died in the last couple years. I actually had him on some obscure rockabilly comps
	8:25pm Bri: I still Need to see that documentary
	8:25pm ultradamno: Mindless Self Indulgence? Hmmm...I was thinking of that group that dressed like monkeys
	8:26pm Rich in Washington: Ramsey Kearney. He's in the doc. It's a hoot and a half.
	8:27pm Kat in Chicago: I've seen it. On Youtube I think
	8:27pm Don-O: I assume off the record is on some stream channel of sorts. It's been forever since I've seen it.
	8:27pm Rich in Washington: Maybe I'll play Blind Man's Penis later for funsies.
	8:28pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, it pops up from time to time and some copyright holder killjoy takes it down. I ended up buying it on Vimeo.
	8:28pm Kat in Chicago: I remember reading about Blind Man's Penis in SPIN magazine :)
	8:29pm WR: ironybread, is there a link to the US TISM CD? Bandcamp is digital only, that I see.
	8:29pm Rich in Washington: Me too, Kat!
	8:29pm ultradamno: By the way, my CD of that Russian comp Война that got played here finally arrived last week (after about a month, usual production delays common these days), it's a very attractive object and a great record toposmedia.bandcamp.com...
	8:30pm Rich in Washington: I think you can buy it from Seeland Records, WR.
	8:30pm Rich in Washington: negativland.com...
	8:31pm Rich in Washington: @Kat: remember when Spin was really cool?
	8:31pm WR: thanks Rich negativland.com...
	8:32pm Kat in Chicago: The Necks are so lovely. I kind of wish I had a two hour show again just so I could play them
	8:32pm ultradamno: I remember they had Lydia Lunch interview Pat Benatar, it proved love is a battlefield
	8:33pm Kat in Chicago: Rich, SPIN was awesome back in the day. Opened my world up quite a bit.
	8:33pm Rich in Washington: I remember that too.
	8:33pm Rich in Washington: Magazines and zines were our internet. My lifeline while growing up in hillbilly land.
	8:34pm ultradamno: Trying to remember which one of those music docs with Byron Coley as a talking head it was where he talked about doing their underground coverage until they declared it irrelevant
	8:34pm Rich in Washington: My monthly or so pilgrimages to Tower Records and 2nd Avenue Records and Powell's Books were life-changing.
	8:35pm Rich in Washington: oh wow. Lemme know if you figure out which one that was. Coley's reviews in Forced Exposure were a touchstone later on.
	8:36pm Don-O: Someone at my last job gave me a copy of Sex. You could meditate from that album
	8:37pm Don-O: thenecksau.bandcamp.com
	8:37pm ultradamno: It's one of these, the Borbetomagus one is the only one I haven't see...I'm leaning toward the Jandek one www.imdb.com...
	8:37pm Kat in Chicago: I've seen them live once. the set was too short!
	8:38pm ultradamno: Actually, I haven't seen the New York Noise "tv series" either, but I am intrigued
	8:38pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Don-O! I accidentally left it blank!
	8:39pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow. I had no idea there was a Borbetomagus doc!
	8:41pm Androu B.: About the John Trubee cover art: The character on the left looks like an aging Thanos.
	8:41pm ultradamno: Apparently on vimeo...I might be looking at it soon vimeo.com...
	8:43pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, ultra!
	8:50pm WR: Thanks, ultra!
	8:51pm ultradamno: Raymond Pettibon has been discovering digital art and the results are getting awesome twitter.com...
	8:52pm ultradamno: The Shaggs twitter.com... RIP JET
	8:54pm ironybread: HOW, how I say, how I do see "Possession"? Goddamned Netflix has downgraded it to the "Save" category, meaning you put it on a wish list and Netflix never mails it to you because they have one rental copy in the whole world and some guy in Pahrump, Nevada rented it in 2009 and won't return it
	8:55pm ultradamno: Gif of Jet playing this very song early on at the Roxy twitter.com...
	8:55pm Rich in Washington: I think I have it on one of thousands of burned DVDRs from when I used to rent from a fucking incredible local shop called Brain Candy.
	8:56pm Rich in Washington: I love the clip of The Stranglers on Top Of The Pops where they're totally taking a piss and all are on the wrong instruments.
	8:56pm ultradamno: Which Possession are we talking about?
	8:57pm Rich in Washington: The 1981 film by Andrzej Żuławski with Isabel Anjani and Sam Neil. It's fucking nuts.
	8:58pm ultradamno: Apparently being cordial to The Stranglers played into Glen Matlock getting fired from Sex Pistols, just one of his clashes with Rotten
	8:58pm Cp304: I first heard this on Ken's, and was like who's this!
	9:01pm Rich in Washington: I was too stupid to appreciate The Stranglers when I was young. Something about their musicianship sort of seemed Proggish, or something. Dumb.
	9:04pm ultradamno: The Manzarekness of the keyboards and their overall olderness set them apart from the punk pack (and the sexism)
	9:05pm ultradamno: The first two are as great as anything though. I love B&W too, but it's a less solid, but the cover graphic is iconic.
	9:06pm ultradamno: ...a *little less, that is
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: funny you should mention... I recall listening to this at a workplace and someone walked in during the extended organ solo and they said 'whoa! is this The Doors?'
	9:07pm Cp304: Who's on keys?
	9:08pm ultradamno: I once infuriated the drummer of The Repellents more than I think I have anyone in my life by making that observation, it was pretty hilarious. @cp Dave Greenfield, who passed a couple years ago
	9:09pm Cp304: Props to Dave, rip
	9:09pm Rich in Washington: I can't remember if I did a Strangler's set when Greenfield passed away. Maybe on my other show.
	9:10pm Rich in Washington: I still say they aren't quite The Stranglers without Hugh, though. Now they're really not.
	9:10pm ultradamno: I don't know if I made this connection in front of him at the time though twitter.com...
	9:10pm Rich in Washington: I think JJ is the only original member now.
	9:11pm Rich in Washington: I remember that, ultra!
	9:12pm sufferwords: dug the shout out to your moms
	9:14pm ultradamno: I remember giving away Hooverdam online years ago, it's a pretty good record, even if he titled a song Philip K. Ridiculous
	9:17pm Rich in Washington: "shout out' made me remember when I once followed a Hip Hop show so for the first half hour or so, I would get all these calls to the air room wanting to give shout outs over the air (something the previous show did) and when I'd patiently tell them this was another program, they would still insist and get mad that I wouldn't do it.
	9:18pm Rich in Washington: I'm telling you, it was Philip K. Ridiculous...
	9:18pm coelacanth∅: good evening Rich, lungers
	9:19pm ultradamno: I remember *Cornwell giving it away, not me, that is....
	9:21pm Rich in Washington: Hi coelacanth∅!
	9:25pm Bri: My fave Strangler’s song!
	9:26pm Cp304: These lyrics feel like my life
	9:28pm Bri: Same here
	9:29pm ultradamno: I think Burning Up Time is mine...though I love Straighten Out from that bonus 7" ep that was better than the album it came with
	9:30pm Zipperhead7: Hi diggerz . . . today was a real slog, listening to lots of "alternative' tracks on a college station to take the pulse of young America. Much of it was so lame that if you put it on your turntable, the tone arm would go limp.
	9:30pm Bri: I hate college radio these days
	9:31pm Bri: My local college station plays pop punk emo crap all day long
	9:32pm Kat in Chicago: I'm on a college station but I quit actually listening to the station a long time ago, except for my friends' electronic shows. The stuff in rotation is mostly lame as hell.
	9:32pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Zipperhead!
	9:32pm Zipperhead7: That sums it up -- "pop punk emo crap"
	9:33pm MHLee: @Kat, I do college radio. A lot of it is quite lame.
	9:33pm Zipperhead7: Hi there coelacanth∅!
	9:34pm Rich in Washington: Hi Zipperhead7!
	9:34pm Aitch: In late, missed a couple of shows, Saturday stuff to do...
	9:34pm MHLee: We umm are dysfunctional. Wet Leg gets played a lot
	9:35pm Rich in Washington: Better Aitch than never!
	9:35pm Aitch: Hey Rich and crew!
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: i had a button around when this album came out, though i don't recall that it came with the album... "if it ain't stiff it ain't worth a fuck". i somehow never got in trouble for wearing it in school, and someone quoted it when she signed my yearbook. it disappeared.
	9:36pm Rich in Washington: I did college radio for about a year at the college station that was within walking distance of my workplace. I was the world's oldest college DJ.
	9:36pm Kat in Chicago: I don't think mine is even playing Wet Leg. Weyes Blood is about as good as they seem to get right now.
	9:37pm ultradamno: I noticed Wet Leg didn't make Pitchfork's year end list, I guess Jock Strap got that one spot
	9:38pm Rich in Washington: maybe not really the world's oldest but they tried hard making me feel that way.
	9:38pm Zipperhead7: I have a burning desire to learn bass. Can't decide whether to screw together a "partscaster" or run the racks at a music store -- latter potentially humiiating as I don't know how to play bass and don't know anyone who does. Working in a music store must be a special kind of hell.
	9:39pm Kat in Chicago: I did my first show at WLUW a month before my 53rd birthday, but since I wasn't playing their rotation I'm not sure it counts. They have some even older community members who do a public affairs-type show on the weekends.
	9:39pm ultradamno: I think those kind of pop punk emo groups are for people who went through the 90/00s without noticing New Zealand
	9:39pm Rich in Washington: there are some amazingly playable basses for really cheap now, Zipper
	9:41pm Aitch: Likewise on the bass, except I got a decent one for about $200 from Gumtree, like a local eBay
	9:42pm MHLee: Our rotation is just boring. There's some okay stuff but way too much boring singer songwriter
	9:42pm MHLee: my first bass was a vort headless... 99$
	9:42pm Rich in Washington: I also have a hankerin' to pick up a bass. Meanwhile the guitar I rebuild is just collecting dust.
	9:42pm Bri: Shit! they were playing Wet leg on my local alternative station which sucks ass
	9:43pm Rich in Washington: I've always wanted one of those.
	9:44pm Rich in Washington: I initially really liked Wet Leg but eventually felt like it was 'what if Aubrey Plaza was English and started an awkward band'.
	9:44pm ironybread: Hey Rich, can I get a shoutout to Daryl & Sandy, Bob & Marsha, Eddy & his steady Marlene, Bob & Sandy, Jumbo & Sadny, Mr. Himmler's homeroom class at Contact High, Dean & Joan, Daryl & Sandy, Pico & Doloros, Alvarado & Little Santa Monica, Bob & Eddy and his steady Marlene, Sandy and maybe the guy with the cute teeth at the Frosty Freeze last night, Daryl and Little Lucky, Mr. Himmler and Miss Parkinson, Eddy and Sandy, Frank and his mother, Sandy & Sandy & Harvey & Nobody
	9:45pm MHLee: Wet Leg is alright... I like the new Black Country New Road
	9:45pm Bri: Lol me too.
	9:45pm ultradamno: Well, that makes them sound better than I ever thought they were
	9:45pm Bri: On the shay Shlong
	9:45pm MHLee: That's an okay album in rotation
	9:45pm Bri: True
	9:45pm Zipperhead7: What kind of guitar you rebuilding, Rich? I put a Strat together out of parts and goddamn thing sounded like a banjo. Uh oh,Ironybread . . . sounds like you're building up to a Circus Liquors run
	9:46pm Rich in Washington: I bought this really abused and neglected Chinese Les Paul copy and restored and rewired it.
	9:46pm ultradamno: (I did like the furniture song, but was never really tempted to buy the record....but Plaza is a god)
	9:47pm Zipperhead7: A Chibson!
	9:47pm MHLee: Black Midi is cool. I always play a lot of obscure stuff. Like Sieben, the neofolk/punk violinist
	9:48pm ironybread: Zip - imagine 100 bottles of Pennsylvania Dutch Egg Nog in the back seat
	9:50pm Bri: Cool MHLee!
	9:52pm MHLee: I've been here longer than most of the staff. I can get away with anything. I run my dungeonsynth show which has regular listeners in the UK at some ungodly hour.
	9:54pm ultradamno: Have you ever seen the Ian Dury biopic (S&D&R&R)? It's an amazing artifact of someone making an entire movie about a person they hold in such contempt but over such generally low stakes.
	9:54pm ultradamno: I mean, I believe he was a dick, but it still seems petty
	9:54pm Rich in Washington: I have seen that! I probably need to rewatch it. I remember it was on Netflix back when Netflix had cool shit on it.
	9:55pm Bri: Aweosme MH
	9:55pm ultradamno: Netflix still has cool shit, they just cancel it very quickly, or it's Korean
	9:56pm Androu B.: Wow, I seem to remember the last time I saw "Live Stiffs" was at a Crazy Eddie's so long ago! In fact, they sold boatloads of CBS/Sony back releases with the "Nice Price" sticker on them, including a good number of Stiff releases here and there.
	9:56pm ultradamno: Now fucking Shudder is firing everyone.
	9:57pm ultradamno: Seems like this is the season of techbro mass layoffs
	9:57pm WR: Thank you, it's been a long time since I've listened to Costello's Miracle Man.
	10:00pm Zipperhead7: Songs like this make me want to play bass
	10:00pm Androu B.: EFD plays the studio version of this Ian Dury track as the backing for his DJ breaks everytime he fills in for Clay on Wake'n'Bake.
	10:01pm Rich in Washington: There's a P-bass copy on my local Craigslist that's super affordable and I'm actually thinking of dropping the coinage tomorrow.
	10:02pm sufferwords: saw this version of the Blockheads at the Roxy opening for Street Hassle Lou- snapped my brain
	10:03pm MHLee: There's a scene in Dr Whos... Rose can't believe that Ian Drury and the blockheads were a hit so they try to travel to 1982 and end up in 1882 i think
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: Ian Dury played a Cockney accent like Eric Clapton playing a Stratocaster. (I hate EC but it makes the joke work)
	10:06pm Bri: Omg I forgot that episode lol
	10:06pm Bri: This song takes me back to punk night at the bowling alley
	10:10pm ironybread: Thanks man, Sandy's gonna be so happy. Also Daryl
	10:12pm ultradamno: There's probably a more interesting Rachel Sweet biopic to be made, how they picked up this girl from Akron (who had toured with Bob Hope, Mickey Rooney and opened for Bill Cosby) with a protective father-manager and marketed her as jailbait.
	10:14pm ultradamno: There's an alternate timeline where Sweet is heralded as the godmother of 'alt-country'
	10:15pm Barno in Akron: Did someone say, Akron?
	10:15pm Dean: Saw Rachel Sweet at the Whisky. She was terrific.
	10:18pm ironybread: I wonder if southwestern Idaho really is the Ohio of the Rockies? I have no idea what that means, I'm just interested
	10:21pm ultradamno: Well, there is the spud connection
	10:21pm Zipperhead7: Sometimes I wish I still had twitter. A friend sent me a jpeg of a guy in a Burger King t-shirt lugging a cross, captioned "Burger King of Kings. He died so you could have it your way."
	10:22pm ultradamno: Jump back in, the dumpster fire just started
	10:25pm ironybread: Lovely, Zip. Twitter isn't dead yet, but it has been poisoned by Polonium. I'll stay onboard for a bit.
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: world's most awkward segue
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: Oh. just wait...
	10:30pm Rich in Washington: I think it's unfair to call current Twitter a dumpster fire. It's more like a Port-A-San explosion. Or a manure silo collapse.
	10:31pm sufferwords: oh shit I can recognize TISM now
	10:32pm ultradamno: For me, it hasn't really changed...but it kind of like I have a house overlooking Woodstock 99
	10:33pm Zipperhead7: Or a pismire implosion?
	10:35pm ultradamno: One of my favorite NWW tracks
	10:35pm ironybread: Sufferwords - you'll know it's all over when you recognize immediately whether Ron Hitler-Barassi, Humphrey B. Flaubert, or Jock Cheese is singing
	10:39pm ultradamno: Some Non talk on the Kitten Sparkles board yesterday
	10:40pm Rich in Washington: I think I might've been there. Was I?
	10:40pm sufferwords: sly ass motherfuckers- dig
	10:40pm ultradamno: ...though his record with Frank Tovey (Easy Listening For The Hard Of Hearing) is my favorite thing he's done. Well, that and Tikis @Rich I think you may have drove by
	10:41pm Dean: Yes, there was NON talk on Don's show.
	10:42pm Dean: Favorite has to be that first record with all the holes.
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: I used to do that with records. Hint: Get a brad bit type drill bit.
	10:44pm ultradamno: Does the little spike help keep it from breaking?
	10:48pm Zipperhead7: Remember those RCA Dynaflex LPs that you could practically bend in half? I had tonearms skitter all over them
	10:56pm Rich in Washington: It just keeps the bit from wandering around the record before it finally starts making a hole. And it makes a cleaner hole.
	10:58pm Rich in Washington: Oops. I'm gonna go a tiny bit over.
	10:59pm Zipperhead7: Thanx, Rich! Nice to revisit the old Stiffs
	11:00pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Zipperhead7! Thanks everyone!
	11:03pm Androu B.: Tonight's been one of your best shows, Rich! Thanks for the Stiff comp double-header, a real trip down Memory Lane for me! (And btw, you might want to let EFD in on those two pieces of vinyl treasure!)
	11:05pm ironybread: Thanks thanks thanks Rich, great noises once again tonight.
	11:06pm WR: Thank you! Rich! Sheena streamers! Onward.
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Rich!
	11:07pm MHLee: Thanks Rich
	11:08pm Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody! Had a sudden coughing fit. Damnation!
	11:08pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you Rich!
	11:09pm Rich in Washington: Thanks Kat! Thanks everyone! See y'all next week and thanks so much for being here!
	11:10pm ultradamno: There is something sinister about Jif having a 'natural' peanut butter....what was I eating the whole time I was a kid?
