	👻 7:19pm Austin Rich: Good Hello! This should be fun...
	7:37pm Krys O.: Hi, Austin! Thanks for being here. Had a stressful weekend. Old laptop was giving up the ghost. I had anticipated that in December and bought a laptop. Took all day Sunday to set up and get situated with streaming and stuff. Whew!
	👻 7:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @7:37 Oh my! Computer woes are the worst, as we depend on them so much now. I need to get my laptop repaired, but I have other tools to use for the time being.
	8:00pm HyperDose: Miss Krys!
	8:01pm Krys O.: Hello, HyperDose!
	8:02pm joe: I just learned there is a statue of Frank Sidebottom in Timperley England and it is wonderfully unsettling looking
	8:03pm Krys O.: Howdy, Joe! Yes, I've heard about that. Frank Sidebottom 4 ever!
	👻 8:05pm Austin Rich: I always forget about Frank Sidebottom, until I see / hear him, and then I'm like, "Oh, yeah! I should investigate more."
	8:06pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:05 I saw a bit of the Frank movie with Michael Fassbender. That is a fictional dramatization, but it was riveting.
	👻 8:07pm MarkTime: Hello!
	👻 8:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:06 I was curious about it when it was first making the rounds, and then... I just keep forgetting. There's too many things to look at.
	8:07pm Krys O.: Howdy, MarkTime!
	8:08pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:07 Indeed.
	👻 8:13pm Austin Rich: I forgot about, to quote Sharpling and Wurster, the Hall & Oates "Street-Punk" album.
	8:14pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:13 Ha!
	👻 8:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:14 I believe the original riff was on an early Billy Joel album, but I think X-Static sort of has the same vibe.
	👻 8:18pm Austin Rich: Scroll to the top of this page, click the "Pledge Now" button, and make a donation! You keep the lights on in the Wiggle Room, which is always on the verge of needing a new coat of paint, too.
	👻 8:21pm Mr Fab: Hey Krys! Gotta say, Tracey Ullman was killin it on that cover of "Life is a Rock." She was great in John Water's "A Dirty Shame," too.
	8:22pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:21 Tracey's talents abound.
	8:23pm joe: ↳ Song: "Baisse Un Peu La Radio" by "Dalida" I jsut that opening looped over the music and I'm good. Wow
	8:24pm joe: ↳ joe @8:23 "I just need.."
	👻 8:26pm MarkTime: HAPPY Radio ... They could be jingle singers!
	👻 8:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "H.A.P.P.Y. Radio" by "Edwin Starr" This is my new fave song. Damn.
	👻 8:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @8:27 That songs goes up there with, "Jogging for Jesus."
	8:29pm Krys O.: Mr. Edwin "War, good god y'all" Starr
	👻 8:30pm Austin Rich: Radio IS doing great work... and we need your donations to continue it! Please, help keep Sheena running smoothly!
	👻 8:30pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Radio is Doing Great Work" by "Unknown" This is great! Where is this from?
	8:32pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:30 The Prelinger Archives on Archive.org. I edited it down from 18 or 20 minutes in length.
	👻 8:36pm Mr Fab: ↳ Krys O. @8:32 Well done!
	👻 8:36pm Austin Rich: Man, early XTC was the best.
	👻 8:38pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @8:36 Yeah , they sound like they were on fire playing live. Which they promptly quit doing for some tragic reason.
	👻 8:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:38 I'm not a nerd for all of their stuff, but occasionally... they really hit the spot. Especially that Dukes of Stratosphear stuff.
	8:40pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:38 A combination of relationship and Valium withdrawal issues resulted in Andy's breakdown.
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Video Killed the Radio Star" by "Ben Folds Five" I wonder if the other two people in the original Ben Folds Five ever get together and jam without him?
	8:44pm joe: ↳ Austin Rich @8:41 I know one of them live(d)s not too far from me and still plays local and teaches music
	8:44pm Krys O.: ↳ joe @8:44 Cool! They're so talented.
	👻 8:45pm Mr Fab: ↳ Krys O. @8:40 Wow, didn't know that. I wonder if he's over it by now. it's tough for musicians to make money just from record sales nowadays, everyone's gotta tour so they can charge 50 bazillion dollars for a ticket.
	👻 8:46pm Mr Fab: ↳ joe @8:44 I remember last year or so , the oriignal drummer was leading a band called something like Ex-TC.
	8:46pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:45 A lotta water under the bridge. Not playing live really helped the healing.
	8:47pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:46 Terry Chambers actually hooked up with Colin Moulding. Oddly enough years ago, Andy Patridge and Barry Andrews who was on the first two albums formed a band called Monstrance.
	8:47pm joe: ↳ Mr Fab @8:45 It seems he has not only given up touring but as of 2022 given up writing music as well
	👻 8:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:45 Even playing shows can be rough, unless you are a recognized name that can demand the high ticket prices that people will still pay. All of my tours lost money. I don't regret them, and I had a blast, but it was certainly hard to play to no one a few shows in a row.
	8:48pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:46 It was called TC&I.
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: I have a soft spot for Robert Gordon. He's sort of corny at times, but I'm cool with that.
	8:49pm Krys O.: ↳ joe @8:47 Andy has suffered from tinnitus for a long time too.
	👻 8:50pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @8:49 anyone who actually got Link freakin Wray in his band has to be pretty damn cool.
	8:51pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:49 I'll never forget seeing Robert Gordon and Chris Spedding playing in a local tavern in the 90s. Excellent show.
	👻 8:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:51 Jealous! How cool is that?
	8:52pm Krys O.: I recommend seeing Kathryn Bigelow's movie The Loveless for Robert Gordon's terrific performance. It also starred Willem Dafoe.
	👻 8:52pm WR: ↳ Song: "Please Give Me Something" by "Robert Gordon" The burning guitar on that was Kathryn Valentine, need to hear what else she has recorded.
	👻 8:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:52 Oh, that's right! I keep forgetting to watch that.
	8:52pm Krys O.: Thanks so much for being here, sweet people. Many thanks to Austin, Kat, Mark, and Jon for pledging.
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: Pledge Early. Pledge Often.
	8:53pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @8:52 Correct! I follow her on Twitter.
	8:53pm joe: ↳ WR @8:52 As in of the Go Gos ?
	8:53pm Krys O.: ↳ joe @8:53 Yup.
	8:54pm joe: ↳ Krys O. @8:53 Very cool
	👻 8:55pm WR: ↳ Krys O. @8:53 except, she plays vass, so still looking who played guitar on that cut.
	👻 8:55pm WR: Bass...
	👻 8:56pm Mr Fab: ↳ Krys O. @8:51 stay tuned for a very special episode of "Mid-Valley Mutations"! Original scripted sci-fi comedy! wfmu.org...
	8:56pm joe: Thank you
	8:56pm Krys O.: Valentine does play the geetar.
	👻 8:57pm Austin Rich: Premiums to give away, too!
	👻 8:57pm Mr Fab: much thanks Krys for all the great radio feat. great songs about radio.
	👻 8:58pm WR: ↳ WR @8:55 nope, I was right the first time, she often plays bass but is credited for guitar on that track. Thank you Krys! Onward.
