	9:04pm WR: The song the episode title comes from is playing in my head, but just that line and a couple other fragments, can't recall the artist and song title. Another phrase that I may be miss remembering from the song is "don't tell me that I've nothing to do..... yeah, Like coel just wrote.

	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @8:59 I'm not sure if that would have helped you today... but he is entertaining, for sure.

	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Scott67 @9:02 A G'day Hello to you, Scott67!
	9:08pm WR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:06 Yes, "Flowers on the Wall" by the Statler Brothers.
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:04 That song is a long of fun. Grandmother approved, usually!
	9:08pm coelacanth∅: i don't know who Arvo is so i expect nothing
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:04 I believe the Statler Bros. have a very well known version that is worth tracking down. Quite fun!
	9:09pm coelacanth∅: ahh,Thanks WR
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Cathy @9:05 I do enjoy a good taco.
	9:09pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:01 Hi Kat! I liked your second to last show, I misshapenly listened to your second to last show while your last show was playing, and it didn't even occur to me!
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Cathy @9:07 It's good, but not required viewing. Mr. Rogers. That's required viewing!
	9:10pm coelacanth∅: yes my father had that on i believe a country music comp, 3-4 records
	9:11pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:09 Haha no worries, Arvo! Last show will be posted soon. I'm just glad it's done.
	9:11pm coelacanth∅: my aunt worked on the captain kangaroo show. i have captain kangaroo paraphernalia
	9:12pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:09 Nancy Sinatra personal favorite version!
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:11 That's pretty cool! Any good stories?
	9:12pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Irreparable Damage" by "88 Fingers Louie" Dude what!
	9:12pm Arvo: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:08 You won't be disappointed!
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:12 That's a very good one, too.
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: to be honest i barely remember it, and when i got older i never thought to ask Aunt Kay for juicy stories. oh well. too late.
	9:14pm Arvo: An alternate title to this set could have been "Slapstick In The Mud"
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:14 I quite like that, too.
	9:19pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @9:05 Thank you, Austin. It's always more fun w/Kreightoven in the studio. It gives me an audience to perform for - Hahaha
	9:19pm Mr Fab: listening, and clicky-starring away.
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:19 Ahhhh. You're so sweet.
	9:21pm Arvo: Always honored to work with Austin! And of course to be able to do this thing here!
	9:22pm WR: First set was banger as the young folks say.
	9:22pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Spontaneous Human Combustion" by "The Bobs" HAHA!
	9:22pm Arvo: ↳ WR @9:22 SICK!
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:22 It totally slapped. As my nephew would have said a few years ago.
	👻 9:23pm Austin Rich: "poof"
	9:24pm Kat in Chicago: There goes another one!
	9:24pm Scott67: Welcome back Mr. Zylo, spending the arvo with Arvo ain't a bad way to spend the day mate! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:24 This one is a stone cold classic.
	9:25pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "Spontaneous Human Combustion" by "The Bobs" Dollar bin find at a USED CD STORE in high school.
	9:25pm wenzo: Howdeeeee Austin & mutant friendzz
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @9:25 Wenzo! Nice to see you.
	9:26pm Arvo: ↳ Scott67 @9:24 Cheers! Thanks for having me!
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: "Bouncy Bouncy"
	9:28pm coelacanth∅: hahaha
	9:29pm coelacanth∅: i'm imaging 3 tiny mice singing "bouncy bouncy"
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:25 That's a good way to find things. I miss doing that. Covid has kept my record shopping mostly online.
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:29 That would make a good Tom & Jerry cartoon, I'm sure.
	9:30pm coelacanth∅: oh my god
	9:31pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "Rubber Ball" by "The Avons" In the early 2000s, I would buy boxes of 45s on ebay from the UK, then I would go through them, take what I want, and sell the rest to people in Japan, because I was the only one on ebay willing to ship to Japan, and people paid $150 for 100 45s that way.
	9:32pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep" by "The Jay Boys" definitive version of this tune, I'd say
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:31 Woah! That's pretty excellent. When I hear stories like that, I always wish I had a little more disposable income, so I could have done stuff like that.
	9:32pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:32 Definitely an authoritative version!
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: i've got 5-600 45s i'd like to exchange for money - but i don't think i have anything this good
	9:34pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "I Can't Stop" by "The Osmond Brothers" YIKES just got home to a flashback to my childhood 🙀🙀 thank you :: ?? (does anyone else remember the Osmond Brothers TV show?) greetings, Arvo! Everyone! happy to be here with you all 😺😿
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Little Space Girl" by "Jesse Lee Turner" This song is so sweet. I've been wanting to fit it into a story somewhere, but I haven't figured out how. Yet.
	9:35pm Arvo: Hi slugluv! Good to see you!
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ slugluv1313 @9:34 Thanks for joining us in the chat, slugluv1313!
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: i remember it slugluv but i hated it and didn't ever watch the whole thing through!
	9:36pm Kat in Chicago: anyone else wondering what else she had more of?
	9:36pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:35 I wanted to do an entire show about aliens but I didn't want to retread your already fully established territory on that area...
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Martian Hop" by "The Ran-Dells" I really adore this song, and it's a regular earworm for me. But I don't mind. Can't get enough.
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:36 I was going to make a comment, and restrained myself.
	9:37pm coelacanth∅: i am now, Kat!
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:36 We could do that someday! I usually love a good show about aliens and outer space.
	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: Those Lux & Ivy Comps (assembled by Kogar The Swingin' Ape!) are truly essential. Just amazing research went into them, and really collected some amazing tunes that were not getting the attention of other compilers. Well worth tracking down! (And all hosted on the WFMU Blog!)
	9:41pm slugluv1313: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:35 i hared it too!.even though i was teeny-bopper age (5th/6th grade) like all the other girls swooning over the Osmonds 🤮🤮🤮 (don't think i knew about David Bowie yet, but i was crushing on Alice Cooper, Rod Stewart, etc. )
	9:42pm slugluv1313: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:36 hahahaha Kat you TOTALLY read my mind! 😹😹😹
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ slugluv1313 @9:42 dirty old women we are!
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Telephone Man" by "Meri Wilson" Arvo, for this show, introduced me to this song. I have to say... this was new to me, and truly amazing.
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: those links for Lux & Ivy favorites seem to not work now.
	9:44pm Arvo: While we are on the subject, gonna toot my own horn here and say that my favorite of that compilation is series is easily the Musical Linn Twins' "Rockin' Out The Blues". I go nuts to that one. The single was reissued, thankfully, and I was glad to snatch it up. https://chicagoreader.com/music/arvo-zylo-of-blood-rhythms-on-songs-the-cramps-taught-us/
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:44 Oh no! That's a bummer. I wonder if they are easy to find elsewhere? They are REALLY good.
	9:47pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Telephone Man" by "Meri Wilson" Telephone Man! i still have this 45 somewhere -- gave us kids a giggle back then . . . iirc, though -- the B-side is "Itinerary" -- very cool song
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:46 Try this link: kogarsjunglejuice.blogspot.com...
	9:48pm Cathy: I bet the next song is about the lady with the big bush. Sheesh.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:47 You'll have to dig around on the blog, but I think he's hosting all of them there.
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:48 (Also hosted: Kogar radio appearances, which are always great.)
	9:50pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "Chante-moi Ta Chanson, Jack" by "Alice Dona" For the Aussies out there!
	9:51pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Chante-moi Ta Chanson, Jack" by "Alice Dona" Wow, amazing how groovy French chicks can make even this corny tune cool
	👻 9:51pm Austin Rich: A micro-theme: covers with cats on them.
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:51 Groovy French Chicks will always rate pretty high with me, no matter how married I am.
	9:52pm Arvo: ↳ Mr Fab @9:51 I don't honestly listen to lyrics! Corny stuff is often just good melody to me!
	9:53pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 Groovy French chicks always rate high with me no matter how hetero I am :)
	9:54pm slugluv1313: kittens! 😻😻
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:53 We're only human...
	9:54pm Arvo: I really love Alvin Stardust. Even his later "power pop" stuff on Stiff Records, but this is prime glam to me. And yes, kittens, always a plus!
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:54 I remember being invited to make a song for your kitten compilation, and I knew I was in with good people.
	9:55pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:54 Arvo, do you ever listen to Wired Up! on Sundays?
	9:56pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:55 Saturdays I mean
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:54 I'll have to check out more of his stuff. Thanks for the tip!
	9:57pm slugluv1313: ↳ Arvo @9:54 i remember pre-power-pop Alvin Stardust! really cool stuff
	9:57pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "I'm A Flop" by "The Lollipops" Those striped trousers!
	👻 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:57 Yeah. I think they are now my fashion ideals.
	9:58pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:55 I can't say I do!
	10:00pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:58 Don Bolles' glam show. Gets a little repetitive sometimes but it's fun wfmu.org...
	10:00pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo @9:58 Don Bolles plays two hours of glam (and glam-adjacent) 45s.
	10:00pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "You've Got Me On A Merry-Go-Round" by "Ross Bagda... loves me some fake Beach Boys
	10:01pm Arvo: I have heard Mr. Bolles Dj sets before but it has been some years, and I didn't know he was on wfmu!
	10:01pm slugluv1313: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:57 right?!? i had two pairs of "hip hugger" pants like those . . 5th/6th grade -ish
	10:01pm coelacanth∅: Yay Alan Watts!
	10:01pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ slugluv1313 @10:01 mine fit me oh so badly
	10:02pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:01 I'm sure they came from Sears' "Junior Bazaar"
	👻 10:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "That's Life" by "Marion Montgomery (with Jack Mar... In 2002, a weird Green Lantern fan recorded a parody version of this song, which original lyrics, that go through the story of the character. You can sort of find it on this page, but Flash no longer works, so... www.spoil-sports.com...
	👻 10:03pm Austin Rich: Unrelated, I used to do "That's Life" at Karaoke, as one of my reserve tunes.
	10:03pm Cathy: I had an ex that kept making trousers for me like that but my legs were too skinny. Whatever floats their ⛵
	👻 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Yakko's Universe" by "Animaniacs" A little like that Monty Python song, too. But certainly updated for a 90's sensibility.
	10:05pm Cathy: The last time I did karaoke it was something by Whitney Houston, but they kicked me out because I started getting naked without thinking
	10:05pm Mr Fab: is this Monty Python's "Galaxy Song"? Or a rip-off of it?
	10:05pm wenzo: It’s definitely a different song…
	10:06pm slugluv1313: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:02 omg same here -- maybe not Sears but some place that sold seconds and thirds (so who knows how they were really supposed to fit!) -- i didn't have any hips yet, and was chubby in allllll the wrong places 😹😹😹
	👻 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:05 I think a tribute to it.
	10:06pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ slugluv1313 @10:06 I still don't have hips really. Boobs at least!
	10:07pm Arvo: I don't know if this is weird, but I don't know anything about Monty Python. I first heard a Monty Python related song done by Simon & Garfunkel in the credits to the movie "As Good As It Gets". I would occasionally put on Benny Hill when I was drunk, but I'm not actually a big couch potato.
	👻 10:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:07 I watched it a lot, and a ton of other English TV, as a younger man, but in the last several years, I haven't wanted to watch much of anything anymore. It cuts into radio time.
	10:10pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @10:09 EXACTLY. And it's easier to do other stuff when you're listening than when you're watching.
	👻 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:10 And there's fewer things I want to watch, it seems. I'm current on Drag Race, and I'm slowly watching old Star Trek once a week, and that's all the TV attention I can muster, really.
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Anger and Hatred Are Very Powerful Emotions" by "... Arvo released an Illusion of Safety album recently, with Z'ev. Well worth getting: nopartofit.bandcamp.com...
	10:14pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @10:14 yep I got mine
	10:15pm slugluv1313: ↳ Austin Rich @10:09 same here! watched Monty Python throughout high school, and other TV shows too -- there really was nothing to do, and even if there was, i was usually not allowed to go and EXACTLY what Kat says! radio/music enhances whatever you are doing, TV just distracts
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:14 I might try to track down an LP. I've got a CD, but I bet it sounds good on a record.
	10:16pm Heather: Kicking show tonight, Arvo! And if anyone needs TV reccs, I got em! Though I can't sit still long enough to just watch. I'm also almost always in motion for TV time.
	10:16pm Kat in Chicago: I am only buying CDs right now. Not sure how much vinyl I am going to try to move in the spring.
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:16 Moving records is a pain. And moving books is a pain, too. I have a ton of comics, but those are easier to move. But really: I need a new hobby that doesn't weigh a ton and take up a lot of space.
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @10:16 Really, the only show I make time for is Max Headroom.
	10:19pm Kat in Chicago: I'm moving 750 miles and I don't drive and don't have a ton of $$ so it's gonna be interesting
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:19 That's hard. Good luck! "Interesting" is one way of putting it.
	10:22pm Arvo: ↳ Heather @10:16 Thanks Heather! I occasionally watch West Wing, believe it or not, because I am slowly studying screenwriting, and Aaron Sorkin is really something else with dialogue, even though the show is not really my cup of tea. I noticed how odd it was that I would watch something fictional that was not also supernatural. I pretty much need an outside force in the plot to care for it, either that or extremely clever "thriller" situations.
	10:22pm Kat in Chicago: This is a really good Wayne Butane
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "How Bazooka Joe Lost An Eye" by "Wayne Butane" This cut-up is amazing, and I'm so into it!
	10:24pm Arvo: Wayne Butane is an unsung god of sound collage, in my opinion, but I never played him on the radio because it was often vulgar!
	10:24pm Kat in Chicago: I'm laughing out loud at this
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:24 Yeah... perfect for Sheena's!
	10:25pm Arvo: Wayne had a DJ thing going on Podomatic for a while, lots of unusual choices in old pop music from the 70s and 80s.
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: I can only imagine how much work this was.
	10:26pm Heather: ↳ Arvo @10:22 I just got into Midnight Mass on Netflix! A bit gory at times for my taste but they totally got me invested in the story! From what you said, it might grab you, too? And heck yeah, this sounds great!
	10:27pm Barno in Akron: Yay! Wayne Butane!
	10:27pm Arvo: I remember reading an interview where Wayne said he still used tape to do sound collage too, and "a revolver just in case the machine starts acting up"
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: Doing this kind of collage on tape, too! Holy cats...
	👻 10:29pm Austin Rich: I love Little Fyodor. We've never met, but he's done so many favors for me, and I do adore his albums.
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: Little Fyodor was on the comments board earlier today
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:29 He's occasionally around. He's tuned in for my show once or twice.
	10:30pm WR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:29 Yes, he sometimes pops in on Tony Coulter's program.
	10:33pm Arvo: Little Fyodor used to come to Chicago for Christmas and I would borrow gear for he and Babushka to play shows, that went on for about 4 years if I recall. I also got to spend time with them every time I played Denver Noise Fest, including giving me tours of strange attractions. Great people. We went to Casa Bonita too!
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:33 Just before Covid, I was plotting a trip to the Denver Noise Fest, with Problemist. (I was backing him up for a set we'd worked out, for his triumphant return to live shows.) I was gonna finally meet Little Fyodor in person. Stupid Covid.
	10:37pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 That's a shame. I met Problemist in Florida during the St. Petersburg Noise Fest, he had me in a documentary too! We were going to do a show too at some point, but as you said, damn Covid. I had a record out and wanted to set up a tour, but the records just sit.
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Étrange Rencontre" by "Anne Gillis" Woah. That Anne Gillis track was excellent. I will have to check out more of their stuff.
	10:37pm WR: ↳ Song: "Army Ants In Your Pants" by "Bruce Haack" Everything I've heard of Haack amazes and entertains me.
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:37 I think I saw that footage! I was working for him for a while, and then we'd jam afterwards. I have a ton of recordings of us; been meaning to comb through them.
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:37 What blows me away is that is sounds like 80's video game music... but he was making it decades before, with home-made gear, and not an 8-bit chip.
	10:39pm Cathy: I am currently dancing in my kitchen
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Cathy @10:39 It's the secondary use for all Kitchens.
	10:41pm Mr Fab: Bruce Haack, the original rapper.
	10:41pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:40 Kitchen dancing is some of the very best dancing!
	10:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 There are indeed Wayne Butane bits in the Sheena stream.
	10:42pm Arvo: I just happened to be reading about "vulture bees" that feed on dead animals and make "meat honey".
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:41 I got a CD of his for my birthday from @ramencitykid in the year 2000, and the Bruce Haack story completely blew my mind, I was hooked after that.
	10:43pm Barno in Akron: Goodnight, y'all!
	10:44pm Cathy: Kangaroo meat city
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:43 Sleep well, Barno.
	10:45pm Mr Fab: With Wayne Butane you had to actually send away for a CD-R and enclose a few bucks and he’d mail you one. Don’t think he has ever gone for download options.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:45 That's pretty cool. Some things don't work as well as a download.
	10:47pm Arvo: ↳ Heather @10:26 I'm sorry Heather, I forgot to look this up. I don't have Netflix currently, but I will make a mental note in the event that I do! Thanks though!
	10:47pm wenzo: Thanks Arvo!!
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you Arvo!
	10:48pm Scott67: Thanks Arvo, thanks Austin. Magnificently Mutilated Show! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺
	10:48pm Heather: ↳ Arvo @10:47 No worries at all! Awesome show tonight! Thanks so much!
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Scott67 @10:48 what Scott said!
	10:48pm WR: Thank you! Arvo!
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: Nurse With Wound are so impressive to me. I always feel like I can learn more from them, and apply it to my own work. Their pacing is really masterful.
	10:49pm Cathy: Just what the doctor odored
	10:50pm Arvo: Thanks all for listening! Thanks Austin for having me!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: Yeah, big round of applause for Mr. Zylo, for assembling this show, and doing the work here in the Lava Lamp Lounge, while I sat around and read comics and asked if I could borrow all his rare tapes. It was great! Thanks!
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:50 Any time!
	10:53pm Mr Fab: Astonishing stuff! Thanks, folks.
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: Looks like I'll end on time tonight! Thanks again, Arvo!
	10:56pm Kat in Chicago: this is some wonderful Creakiness
	10:56pm Kat in Chicago: see you next week, Austin!
	10:57pm slugluv1313: Nurse With Wound 🖤
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:56 Thanks Kat! See ya in the chat!
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ slugluv1313 @10:57 Fur realz...
	10:58pm Kat in Chicago: I need to do a deep NWW dive, seeing as they influenced all this other music that I like
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Arvo! Thanks Rich!
	10:58pm slugluv1313: this has been fantastic! thanks so much, Arvo! Austin!
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ slugluv1313 @10:58 Thank you!
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: 'night mr. rangatang
	11:07pm WR: That was marvelous.

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from January 17, 2023

View austinrich's profile

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time.

	9:08pm coelacanth∅: i don't know who Arvo is so i expect nothing

	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Cathy @9:05 I do enjoy a good taco.
	9:09pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:01 Hi Kat! I liked your second to last show, I misshapenly listened to your second to last show while your last show was playing, and it didn't even occur to me!
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Cathy @9:07 It's good, but not required viewing. Mr. Rogers. That's required viewing!
	9:10pm coelacanth∅: yes my father had that on i believe a country music comp, 3-4 records

	9:12pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Irreparable Damage" by "88 Fingers Louie" Dude what!
	9:12pm Arvo: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:08 You won't be disappointed!
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:12 That's a very good one, too.
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: to be honest i barely remember it, and when i got older i never thought to ask Aunt Kay for juicy stories. oh well. too late.
	9:14pm Arvo: An alternate title to this set could have been "Slapstick In The Mud"
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:14 I quite like that, too.
	9:19pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @9:05 Thank you, Austin. It's always more fun w/Kreightoven in the studio. It gives me an audience to perform for - Hahaha
	9:19pm Mr Fab: listening, and clicky-starring away.

	9:22pm WR: First set was banger as the young folks say.
	9:22pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Spontaneous Human Combustion" by "The Bobs" HAHA!

	9:25pm wenzo: Howdeeeee Austin & mutant friendzz
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @9:25 Wenzo! Nice to see you.
	9:26pm Arvo: ↳ Scott67 @9:24 Cheers! Thanks for having me!
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: "Bouncy Bouncy"
	9:28pm coelacanth∅: hahaha
	9:29pm coelacanth∅: i'm imaging 3 tiny mice singing "bouncy bouncy"
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:25 That's a good way to find things. I miss doing that. Covid has kept my record shopping mostly online.
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:29 That would make a good Tom & Jerry cartoon, I'm sure.
	9:30pm coelacanth∅: oh my god
	9:31pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "Rubber Ball" by "The Avons" In the early 2000s, I would buy boxes of 45s on ebay from the UK, then I would go through them, take what I want, and sell the rest to people in Japan, because I was the only one on ebay willing to ship to Japan, and people paid $150 for 100 45s that way.
	9:32pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Chirpy, Chirpy, Cheep, Cheep" by "The Jay Boys" definitive version of this tune, I'd say
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:31 Woah! That's pretty excellent. When I hear stories like that, I always wish I had a little more disposable income, so I could have done stuff like that.
	9:32pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:32 Definitely an authoritative version!
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: i've got 5-600 45s i'd like to exchange for money - but i don't think i have anything this good
	9:34pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "I Can't Stop" by "The Osmond Brothers" YIKES just got home to a flashback to my childhood 🙀🙀 thank you :: ?? (does anyone else remember the Osmond Brothers TV show?) greetings, Arvo! Everyone! happy to be here with you all 😺😿
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Little Space Girl" by "Jesse Lee Turner" This song is so sweet. I've been wanting to fit it into a story somewhere, but I haven't figured out how. Yet.
	9:35pm Arvo: Hi slugluv! Good to see you!
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ slugluv1313 @9:34 Thanks for joining us in the chat, slugluv1313!
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: i remember it slugluv but i hated it and didn't ever watch the whole thing through!
	9:36pm Kat in Chicago: anyone else wondering what else she had more of?
	9:36pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:35 I wanted to do an entire show about aliens but I didn't want to retread your already fully established territory on that area...
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Martian Hop" by "The Ran-Dells" I really adore this song, and it's a regular earworm for me. But I don't mind. Can't get enough.
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:36 I was going to make a comment, and restrained myself.
	9:37pm coelacanth∅: i am now, Kat!
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:36 We could do that someday! I usually love a good show about aliens and outer space.
	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: Those Lux & Ivy Comps (assembled by Kogar The Swingin' Ape!) are truly essential. Just amazing research went into them, and really collected some amazing tunes that were not getting the attention of other compilers. Well worth tracking down! (And all hosted on the WFMU Blog!)
	9:41pm slugluv1313: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:35 i hared it too!.even though i was teeny-bopper age (5th/6th grade) like all the other girls swooning over the Osmonds 🤮🤮🤮 (don't think i knew about David Bowie yet, but i was crushing on Alice Cooper, Rod Stewart, etc. )
	9:42pm slugluv1313: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:36 hahahaha Kat you TOTALLY read my mind! 😹😹😹
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ slugluv1313 @9:42 dirty old women we are!
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Telephone Man" by "Meri Wilson" Arvo, for this show, introduced me to this song. I have to say... this was new to me, and truly amazing.
	9:44pm coelacanth∅: those links for Lux & Ivy favorites seem to not work now.
	9:44pm Arvo: While we are on the subject, gonna toot my own horn here and say that my favorite of that compilation is series is easily the Musical Linn Twins' "Rockin' Out The Blues". I go nuts to that one. The single was reissued, thankfully, and I was glad to snatch it up. https://chicagoreader.com/music/arvo-zylo-of-blood-rhythms-on-songs-the-cramps-taught-us/
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:44 Oh no! That's a bummer. I wonder if they are easy to find elsewhere? They are REALLY good.
	9:47pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Telephone Man" by "Meri Wilson" Telephone Man! i still have this 45 somewhere -- gave us kids a giggle back then . . . iirc, though -- the B-side is "Itinerary" -- very cool song
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:46 Try this link: kogarsjunglejuice.blogspot.com...
	9:48pm Cathy: I bet the next song is about the lady with the big bush. Sheesh.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:47 You'll have to dig around on the blog, but I think he's hosting all of them there.
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:48 (Also hosted: Kogar radio appearances, which are always great.)
	9:50pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "Chante-moi Ta Chanson, Jack" by "Alice Dona" For the Aussies out there!
	9:51pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Chante-moi Ta Chanson, Jack" by "Alice Dona" Wow, amazing how groovy French chicks can make even this corny tune cool
	👻 9:51pm Austin Rich: A micro-theme: covers with cats on them.
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:51 Groovy French Chicks will always rate pretty high with me, no matter how married I am.
	9:52pm Arvo: ↳ Mr Fab @9:51 I don't honestly listen to lyrics! Corny stuff is often just good melody to me!
	9:53pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 Groovy French chicks always rate high with me no matter how hetero I am :)
	9:54pm slugluv1313: kittens! 😻😻
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:53 We're only human...
	9:54pm Arvo: I really love Alvin Stardust. Even his later "power pop" stuff on Stiff Records, but this is prime glam to me. And yes, kittens, always a plus!
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:54 I remember being invited to make a song for your kitten compilation, and I knew I was in with good people.
	9:55pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:54 Arvo, do you ever listen to Wired Up! on Sundays?
	9:56pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:55 Saturdays I mean
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:54 I'll have to check out more of his stuff. Thanks for the tip!
	9:57pm slugluv1313: ↳ Arvo @9:54 i remember pre-power-pop Alvin Stardust! really cool stuff
	9:57pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "I'm A Flop" by "The Lollipops" Those striped trousers!
	👻 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:57 Yeah. I think they are now my fashion ideals.
	9:58pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:55 I can't say I do!
	10:00pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:58 Don Bolles' glam show. Gets a little repetitive sometimes but it's fun wfmu.org...
	10:00pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo @9:58 Don Bolles plays two hours of glam (and glam-adjacent) 45s.
	10:00pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "You've Got Me On A Merry-Go-Round" by "Ross Bagda... loves me some fake Beach Boys
	10:01pm Arvo: I have heard Mr. Bolles Dj sets before but it has been some years, and I didn't know he was on wfmu!
	10:01pm slugluv1313: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:57 right?!? i had two pairs of "hip hugger" pants like those . . 5th/6th grade -ish
	10:01pm coelacanth∅: Yay Alan Watts!
	10:01pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ slugluv1313 @10:01 mine fit me oh so badly
	10:02pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:01 I'm sure they came from Sears' "Junior Bazaar"
	👻 10:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "That's Life" by "Marion Montgomery (with Jack Mar... In 2002, a weird Green Lantern fan recorded a parody version of this song, which original lyrics, that go through the story of the character. You can sort of find it on this page, but Flash no longer works, so... www.spoil-sports.com...
	👻 10:03pm Austin Rich: Unrelated, I used to do "That's Life" at Karaoke, as one of my reserve tunes.
	10:03pm Cathy: I had an ex that kept making trousers for me like that but my legs were too skinny. Whatever floats their ⛵
	👻 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Yakko's Universe" by "Animaniacs" A little like that Monty Python song, too. But certainly updated for a 90's sensibility.
	10:05pm Cathy: The last time I did karaoke it was something by Whitney Houston, but they kicked me out because I started getting naked without thinking
	10:05pm Mr Fab: is this Monty Python's "Galaxy Song"? Or a rip-off of it?
	10:05pm wenzo: It’s definitely a different song…
	10:06pm slugluv1313: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:02 omg same here -- maybe not Sears but some place that sold seconds and thirds (so who knows how they were really supposed to fit!) -- i didn't have any hips yet, and was chubby in allllll the wrong places 😹😹😹
	👻 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:05 I think a tribute to it.
	10:06pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ slugluv1313 @10:06 I still don't have hips really. Boobs at least!
	10:07pm Arvo: I don't know if this is weird, but I don't know anything about Monty Python. I first heard a Monty Python related song done by Simon & Garfunkel in the credits to the movie "As Good As It Gets". I would occasionally put on Benny Hill when I was drunk, but I'm not actually a big couch potato.
	👻 10:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:07 I watched it a lot, and a ton of other English TV, as a younger man, but in the last several years, I haven't wanted to watch much of anything anymore. It cuts into radio time.
	10:10pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @10:09 EXACTLY. And it's easier to do other stuff when you're listening than when you're watching.
	👻 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:10 And there's fewer things I want to watch, it seems. I'm current on Drag Race, and I'm slowly watching old Star Trek once a week, and that's all the TV attention I can muster, really.
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Anger and Hatred Are Very Powerful Emotions" by "... Arvo released an Illusion of Safety album recently, with Z'ev. Well worth getting: nopartofit.bandcamp.com...
	10:14pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @10:14 yep I got mine
	10:15pm slugluv1313: ↳ Austin Rich @10:09 same here! watched Monty Python throughout high school, and other TV shows too -- there really was nothing to do, and even if there was, i was usually not allowed to go and EXACTLY what Kat says! radio/music enhances whatever you are doing, TV just distracts
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:14 I might try to track down an LP. I've got a CD, but I bet it sounds good on a record.
	10:16pm Heather: Kicking show tonight, Arvo! And if anyone needs TV reccs, I got em! Though I can't sit still long enough to just watch. I'm also almost always in motion for TV time.
	10:16pm Kat in Chicago: I am only buying CDs right now. Not sure how much vinyl I am going to try to move in the spring.
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:16 Moving records is a pain. And moving books is a pain, too. I have a ton of comics, but those are easier to move. But really: I need a new hobby that doesn't weigh a ton and take up a lot of space.
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @10:16 Really, the only show I make time for is Max Headroom.
	10:19pm Kat in Chicago: I'm moving 750 miles and I don't drive and don't have a ton of $$ so it's gonna be interesting
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:19 That's hard. Good luck! "Interesting" is one way of putting it.
	10:22pm Arvo: ↳ Heather @10:16 Thanks Heather! I occasionally watch West Wing, believe it or not, because I am slowly studying screenwriting, and Aaron Sorkin is really something else with dialogue, even though the show is not really my cup of tea. I noticed how odd it was that I would watch something fictional that was not also supernatural. I pretty much need an outside force in the plot to care for it, either that or extremely clever "thriller" situations.
	10:22pm Kat in Chicago: This is a really good Wayne Butane
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "How Bazooka Joe Lost An Eye" by "Wayne Butane" This cut-up is amazing, and I'm so into it!
	10:24pm Arvo: Wayne Butane is an unsung god of sound collage, in my opinion, but I never played him on the radio because it was often vulgar!
	10:24pm Kat in Chicago: I'm laughing out loud at this
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:24 Yeah... perfect for Sheena's!
	10:25pm Arvo: Wayne had a DJ thing going on Podomatic for a while, lots of unusual choices in old pop music from the 70s and 80s.
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: I can only imagine how much work this was.
	10:26pm Heather: ↳ Arvo @10:22 I just got into Midnight Mass on Netflix! A bit gory at times for my taste but they totally got me invested in the story! From what you said, it might grab you, too? And heck yeah, this sounds great!
	10:27pm Barno in Akron: Yay! Wayne Butane!
	10:27pm Arvo: I remember reading an interview where Wayne said he still used tape to do sound collage too, and "a revolver just in case the machine starts acting up"
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: Doing this kind of collage on tape, too! Holy cats...
	👻 10:29pm Austin Rich: I love Little Fyodor. We've never met, but he's done so many favors for me, and I do adore his albums.
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: Little Fyodor was on the comments board earlier today
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:29 He's occasionally around. He's tuned in for my show once or twice.
	10:30pm WR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:29 Yes, he sometimes pops in on Tony Coulter's program.
	10:33pm Arvo: Little Fyodor used to come to Chicago for Christmas and I would borrow gear for he and Babushka to play shows, that went on for about 4 years if I recall. I also got to spend time with them every time I played Denver Noise Fest, including giving me tours of strange attractions. Great people. We went to Casa Bonita too!
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:33 Just before Covid, I was plotting a trip to the Denver Noise Fest, with Problemist. (I was backing him up for a set we'd worked out, for his triumphant return to live shows.) I was gonna finally meet Little Fyodor in person. Stupid Covid.
	10:37pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 That's a shame. I met Problemist in Florida during the St. Petersburg Noise Fest, he had me in a documentary too! We were going to do a show too at some point, but as you said, damn Covid. I had a record out and wanted to set up a tour, but the records just sit.
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Étrange Rencontre" by "Anne Gillis" Woah. That Anne Gillis track was excellent. I will have to check out more of their stuff.
	10:37pm WR: ↳ Song: "Army Ants In Your Pants" by "Bruce Haack" Everything I've heard of Haack amazes and entertains me.
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:37 I think I saw that footage! I was working for him for a while, and then we'd jam afterwards. I have a ton of recordings of us; been meaning to comb through them.
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:37 What blows me away is that is sounds like 80's video game music... but he was making it decades before, with home-made gear, and not an 8-bit chip.
	10:39pm Cathy: I am currently dancing in my kitchen
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Cathy @10:39 It's the secondary use for all Kitchens.
	10:41pm Mr Fab: Bruce Haack, the original rapper.
	10:41pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:40 Kitchen dancing is some of the very best dancing!
	10:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 There are indeed Wayne Butane bits in the Sheena stream.
	10:42pm Arvo: I just happened to be reading about "vulture bees" that feed on dead animals and make "meat honey".
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:41 I got a CD of his for my birthday from @ramencitykid in the year 2000, and the Bruce Haack story completely blew my mind, I was hooked after that.
	10:43pm Barno in Akron: Goodnight, y'all!
	10:44pm Cathy: Kangaroo meat city
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:43 Sleep well, Barno.
	10:45pm Mr Fab: With Wayne Butane you had to actually send away for a CD-R and enclose a few bucks and he’d mail you one. Don’t think he has ever gone for download options.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:45 That's pretty cool. Some things don't work as well as a download.
	10:47pm Arvo: ↳ Heather @10:26 I'm sorry Heather, I forgot to look this up. I don't have Netflix currently, but I will make a mental note in the event that I do! Thanks though!
	10:47pm wenzo: Thanks Arvo!!
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you Arvo!
	10:48pm Scott67: Thanks Arvo, thanks Austin. Magnificently Mutilated Show! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺
	10:48pm Heather: ↳ Arvo @10:47 No worries at all! Awesome show tonight! Thanks so much!
	10:48pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Scott67 @10:48 what Scott said!
	10:48pm WR: Thank you! Arvo!
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: Nurse With Wound are so impressive to me. I always feel like I can learn more from them, and apply it to my own work. Their pacing is really masterful.
	10:49pm Cathy: Just what the doctor odored
	10:50pm Arvo: Thanks all for listening! Thanks Austin for having me!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: Yeah, big round of applause for Mr. Zylo, for assembling this show, and doing the work here in the Lava Lamp Lounge, while I sat around and read comics and asked if I could borrow all his rare tapes. It was great! Thanks!
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:50 Any time!
	10:53pm Mr Fab: Astonishing stuff! Thanks, folks.
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: Looks like I'll end on time tonight! Thanks again, Arvo!
	10:56pm Kat in Chicago: this is some wonderful Creakiness
	10:56pm Kat in Chicago: see you next week, Austin!
	10:57pm slugluv1313: Nurse With Wound 🖤
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:56 Thanks Kat! See ya in the chat!
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ slugluv1313 @10:57 Fur realz...
	10:58pm Kat in Chicago: I need to do a deep NWW dive, seeing as they influenced all this other music that I like
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Arvo! Thanks Rich!
	10:58pm slugluv1313: this has been fantastic! thanks so much, Arvo! Austin!
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ slugluv1313 @10:58 Thank you!
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: 'night mr. rangatang
	11:07pm WR: That was marvelous.
