	👻 8:10pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:36pm Arvo: Howdy!
	9:00pm Krys O.: Hello again!
	9:00pm Arvo: Just a smidgeon
	9:01pm Kat in the chat: I'm here on your stereogram
	👻 9:01pm Heather Z: Tuned in and doing a jigsaw puzzle!! Arvo!! I'm excited to hear what you're spinning tonight!
	9:01pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy
	👻 9:03pm Heather Z: Call call call!! We wanna hear your spooky stories
	9:03pm Arvo: Hi Kat! Hi Heather! Thanks all for tuning in!
	9:04pm laurapanic: So, what have we got today?
	9:05pm Kat in the chat: I don't have any spooky stories :(
	9:05pm Arvo: I might could have a couple few friends lurking in the shadows as well
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: Greetings, everyone! This is gonna be a fun show! Sit down, stay a spell. We're gonna dance, at least at first!
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:05 I always tell people that they can call with local stories. Is there a rumor about a haunted road in your town? You could fill us in.
	9:06pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @9:03 Heather, what is your jigsaw puzzle of? I almost bought a vintage Addams Family jigsaw puzzle but I didn't because I don't do jigsaw puzzles!
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:05 We love our lurkers!
	👻 9:07pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:06 That too! Or one a friend told you, too, is legit, right, Austin?
	👻 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:04 We've got guest DJ, Arvo Zylo, with one of his Stereograms. Highly Recommended!
	👻 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:07 But of course.
	9:07pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Tears of Misery" by "Pat Hervey" There is some definitive Nashville A-Team session musicianship on this.
	9:08pm Willa Sonora: ARVOOOOOOOO
	9:08pm Arvo: ↳ laurapanic @9:04 Hi Laura, when I do freeform, it's definitely like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get! But I can say there are some dark tones in here and a lot of stuff I discovered in 2022 that I didn't get to play yet.
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:07 Yeah, that was very nice.
	9:08pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:07 I dont know what that means, but I am here to find out
	👻 9:09pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:06 I've really done it this time. It's blue birds on oranges. Impossible! Trying to peice together bird legs rn. Ahhh
	9:09pm Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @9:07 And I was correct. Produced by Chet Atkins. I heard the Jordanaires too. I was trained to pick out that stuff.
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: We are a puzzle household. We even invested in a huge "puzzle cover," so we can put it over the puzzle so the cats don't mess with it at night.
	9:10pm Aitch: Hiho Zylo, phoning in
	9:10pm Arvo: Hi Willa! 🎈😎🤠🤑🥰
	9:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: The latest 20'Minutes show was really good
	9:11pm Arvo: ↳ Aitch @9:10 Hi Aitch! Right on!
	👻 9:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:11 Thanks! I had fun putting that one together. (And: it's one of my fave movies.)
	9:12pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @9:09 I like birds and oranges! What a combo!
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: hi Austin Rich and Arvo and y'all
	👻 9:14pm Austin Rich: I do love the Tuesday night chats. Everyone's here!
	9:14pm Geoff-U: Good evenin'!
	9:14pm Arvo: Hi Coelacanth! Hi Krys O! I thought they were in Canada so I did not know they piece of info!
	9:15pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:14 Good evening! 🧛
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:14 Geoff! Looking forward to that record!
	9:15pm coelacanth∅: this sounds spanishish to me
	9:15pm Geoff-U: ↳ Austin Rich @9:15 yay!
	👻 9:16pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:12 It'll be pretty, I think, if I ever get it done! Loving the tunes so far!! Awesome stuff!
	9:16pm slugluv1313: greetings, Arvo! Everyone! happy to be here and listening live :)
	9:17pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @9:16 Thank you! Yeah I was going to build a model Munsters mansion, but it wasn't big enough to justify the time I would spend on it, so a jigsaw did cross my mind. Hi slugluv! Good to see you here! Thanks for stopping by!
	9:18pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Some Footage of Dancing That No-One Else Saw" by ... ooh pretty
	9:18pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Some Footage of Dancing That No-One Else Saw" by ... Roy Montgomery 💜💜💜
	9:18pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:18 This is my favorite release of 2022.
	👻 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Some Footage of Dancing That No-One Else Saw" by ... Yeah, this is delightful.
	9:20pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Arvo @9:18 I just wishlisted it on bc
	9:21pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:20 Yeah there is some really good organ stuff in that one too, not just guitar. I first heard of Roy Montgomery when he collaborated with Flying Saucer Attack. Great stuff.
	9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Been spending time asking ChatGPT for crossover stories I know no human would ever write.
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:22 That's probably a good use for it.
	9:23pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Some Footage of Dancing That No-One Else Saw" by ... same here, just added to bc wishlist -- but just reading that this album is dedicated to Roy's late partner -- beautiful but heartbreaking
	9:27pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 It can be fun
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Tamo Daleko" by "Branko Mataja" Numero Group, does it again. I sometimes feel like there is an endless well of releases they manage to uncover.
	9:28pm Krys O.: Off to sleepy by! Bon soir!
	9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Speaking of fun, I'm hoping we'll be able to continue with the project
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:28 Sleep well! Thanks again.
	9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Krys O. @9:28 Enjoy the Blanket Show
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:29 Absolutely. I do want to get to that as soon as possible.
	9:29pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 I cut my teeth on Numero group releases, they were the beacon of light in the WLUW catalog which was otherwise dominated by music that was not to my tastes...
	9:30pm coelacanth∅: g'night Krys
	9:30pm Arvo: Night Krys!
	9:30pm Kat in the chat: good night Krys!
	👻 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:29 Yeah, they really have an ear for excellent stuff. Rarely a misstep.
	9:31pm slugluv1313: ↳ Krys O. @9:28 hi Krys! and good night! :)
	9:32pm Geoff-U: This song is excellent
	9:33pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:32 I love Jarboe so much! Got to do a modest remix of her once!
	9:33pm Geoff-U: Oh! I just scrolled down and realized this was Jarboe! I saw Swans in 1992 or so and she was great
	9:34pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:33 I am jealous. I was 11 years old. I saw her in 2017 though. She has the heart and soul of an army.
	9:35pm Geoff-U: Actually it was The Burning World (an album frustratingly absent from streaming) tour so it was probably '89 or '90
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:35 I was thinking about all the albums that aren't anywhere online yet, for a variety of reasons. I feel like there's a short-story in there, somewhere.
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: "If no one ever listens, is the album really ever 'streaming'?"
	9:40pm Arvo: Danzig only recently allowed much of his back catalog to be on streaming platforms.
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:40 De La Soul had legal issues holding up their albums from being streaming until this year.
	9:43pm Arvo: King Crimson recently put there studio albums up on streaming. Prior to that, they just had a slew of live albums up. I have to check if ACDC gave in, I know they rejected itunes and streaming for a long time.
	9:44pm Arvo: *their
	9:44pm Geoff-U: This reminds me of my stomach after Taco Bell
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:44 Zing.
	9:45pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:44 Chainsaws and all
	9:45pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sorry I'm not very chatty tonight. Just drew Desdinova in a tie-dye dress
	9:46pm slugluv1313: ↳ Geoff-U @9:44 😹😹😹
	9:46pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @9:45 Chainsaw Duet featuring Ash and Grell.
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @9:37 hmmm, i hadn't considered it -but i've submitted several releases to discogs that weren't there before, and some artists that weren't there... i should provide some recordings for those shouldn't i
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:47 When I put my collection into discogs, I was shocked at the albums that there were no listings for.
	9:49pm Arvo: I often spent a lot of time taking notes of stuff that still isn't online at WZRD. How an LP can still be offline is pretty impressive.
	👻 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:49 Some things fall through the cracks. It's sort of cool.
	👻 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:45 It happens. At least you're having fun!
	9:50pm Arvo: There was a DJ there that decided to play everything in the catalog chronologically, and I was there with her for a lot of it. So much of it was God awful! It was pretty brutal, and then Jimi Hendrix would come on and it would be like the Empire State Building lit up.
	9:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @9:49 Some old classic kids albums can be found on YouTube on the BoyJohn channel
	9:52pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:50 I kinda want to find an inventory of kids albums or singles that were on orange vinyl. I swear I had an orange vinyl kids record with my fisher price record player that I don't recall.
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @9:50 i wonder sometimes if an artist sees their one thing up on discogs and sees i submitted it and am the only one with a copy of it (apparently) then what they think about whatever arbitrary fee i'm charging for it!
	9:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @9:52 Was it a song or story?
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:53 Maybe! I'm sure some variation of that happens. At least, it seems likely artists would search for themselves, given what I know about artists.
	9:57pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:54 I don't remember. Also, I was in a band that had produced a CD in an edition of 500 copies, still not on discogs. I wasn't on the CD. Our recordings got stolen, so that was a strange binge I barely remember.
	👻 9:58pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:52 Argh. These sound so familiar.... Which! Follow up from long ago: my dad's 8 track broke and he actually threw it away. No 8 track DJ sets for me unless I (8) track down another machine from somewhere.
	9:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "A Door Opens Backwards (Excerpt)" by "Akira Rabel... Really into this one
	👻 9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:58 Yeah, this one is very nice.
	9:59pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "A Door Opens Backwards (Excerpt)" by "Akira Rabel... I love when an artist only puts out like 8 releases or less in 20 years, but never goes on hiatus or anything, just takes their time.
	👻 9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:57 I think the moral of the story is: discogs is only as good as its users.
	10:01pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Arvo @9:57 helps put things into perspective when 500 cds, which seems like a respectable number, can dissipate into the atmosphere so thinly. ...you know they're out there, or at least a few hundred of them; but not everyone uses discogs, let alone contributes to it. (or other sites)
	👻 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:59 I love artists like that, and usually really appreciate their work. I have no patience, myself. I feel like everything is behind deadline, and that I'm still 10 albums behind.
	10:01pm Aitch: Mutating away quietly here in the corner
	👻 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:01 We Love Our Lurkers!
	10:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Aitch @10:01 Nothing wrong with a peaceful mutation
	10:02pm laurapanic: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:53 I've seen my short run CDs from old bands on there. Its interesting! Am loving this discussion....
	10:03pm laurapanic: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:01 I have a lot of very short run CDs from the 90s, curios curios
	👻 10:03pm Austin Rich: "I mutate twice in the morning / I mutate twice at night / I mutate twice in the afternoon / It makes me feel alright."
	👻 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:03 I can't get rid of my CDs because there are so many examples of bands my friends were in that I'm sure I can't replace.
	10:04pm coelacanth∅: ↳ laurapanic @10:02 i've bought something of your band's! but that was bandcamp.
	10:05pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @9:57 If you like old kids albums, two good ones are "The Lion Sleeps Tonight/Rocking' Robin" and "21 Short Songs for Little People"
	10:05pm Arvo: ↳ Aitch @10:01 The simmering crackle, slither, and sloth of a nice after-dinner mutation.
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:04 or am i mistaken?! i'm sorry if so. i'm blanking out on the name and how i found out it was you but i can't look now.
	10:07pm Willa Sonora: goodnight! great show!
	10:07pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:05 I stretch out my glistening star-strewn wings and utter a cry to shake the stars
	10:07pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:05 These days, it's just Halloween stuff and weird Christian kid stuff if it's kid stuff. Goodnight Willa! 😘
	10:08pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:07 Sounds like a Marc Bolan lyric! I do love me some Marc Bolan.
	👻 10:08pm Austin Rich: Yeah, we broke out the Halloween Music a few weeks ago in our house. Which led to re-organizing my records, too, which is still not done. Sigh.
	10:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:07 Kids need to be kids
	👻 10:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:08 xxx-ooo T. Rex.
	10:09pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:04 yes! This!
	10:09pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:08 Reminds me of Albert Bouchard
	10:10pm laurapanic: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:04 oh wow - that would be my all lady punk band. On a bit of a hiatus at the moment - been playing 23 years on and off. I'm doing some no-wave noisey stuff at the moment. Having a blast.
	👻 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:09 I've already had too many tapes break or wear out. I'm not going through that pain again.
	10:10pm Arvo: I used to organize my records by era or style. I had a thrift section, a Halloween section, a noise section, a sixties section, etc. I got tired of alphabetical.
	10:11pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @10:10 yeh I'm not into alpha organising records
	10:12pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:10 I've got a working tape deck and tapes. Been buying the odd tape again. Recently got gifted a Bikini Kill 90s bootleg. It was so nice to get that kind of tape again
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:10 I've been thinking more and more about breaking out a "thrift store" section. When I was talking to Le Petit Sac way back when, he was trying to urge me to do it.
	10:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: The cat just demanded that I get in bed. I'm going to try to stay awake, but no guarantee.
	10:13pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 I had no choice. I had a big thrift section, organ records especially.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:12 Jealous! I missed them on their reunion tour, last year. I have piles of tapes and I play them often, but I worry about the ones I can't replace, again, from friends and their bands, etc.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:13 Makes sense. Sleep well!
	10:13pm laurapanic: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:13 I understand that requirement, feline as it is
	10:14pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:13 Goodnight!
	10:14pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 I saw them at the Sydney Opera House. It was very cool, we all felt naughty being in such a place - including the band!
	10:14pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:14 Good night
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:14 I saw them WAAAAAAAY back in the day... but was sort of hoping I could see the reunion tour, and couldn't for a lot of reasons. (Sigh.) Next time?
	10:15pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:14 Tobi ws sick ofr one or two shows, so an amazing local drummer (from Tropical Fuckstorm) filled in, as she was their drum tech for the tour. But Tobi was back for the show I was at
	10:16pm Kat in the chat: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 Reading "Tropical Fuckstorm" made me laugh out loud, I am happy that is someone's band name
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:16 It's very brill.
	10:17pm laurapanic: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:16 isn't it just delightful?? Great band, check out their song "You Let My Tyres Down"
	10:18pm Arvo: I try not to play too much punk when I am a guest for Austin, because he has that covered, but I have been listening to a good amount of punk lately.
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:18 It's good for what ails ya. Or ales ya, depending.
	10:19pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @10:18 your set is perfect
	10:20pm Arvo: ↳ laurapanic @10:19 Thank you!! But yeah Austin turned me into The Wipers recently. They weren't mean enough for me when I was a teen, but I had heard them.
	10:21pm Arvo: Ok this track right now is Bill Nace fyi
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:21 Whoops! Sorry. I was doing so well until then...
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:20 I think we talked about this a little in e-mail: it's funny the things we push away as young people, that was perfectly great. I was not into the Soft Boys for a LONG time for some dumb reason. Then, one day, a roommate put it on, and it clicked.
	10:23pm Geoff-U: That Zabelle Panosian song was incredible
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:23 Agreed. Very, very cool.
	10:24pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @10:23 Yeah that whole thing is great. I bought the digital but it is a CD box set, all just deeply beautiful stuff.
	10:25pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 I can give The Soft Boys another crack at it. I haven't dismissed them, just wasn't blown away at the time twenty years ago.
	10:26pm Arvo: Ok next track coming up
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:25 I might have mentioned this, too: there's so much to listen to! Sometimes you just make quick choices and it takes a while to try again. I usually try to have an open ear, with a few exceptions that are now closed books.
	10:27pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 so much this. If you had told 22yr old Laura she would grow up to enjoy 13min noise and drone tracks....
	10:28pm Kat in the chat: I was won over, at least to some extent, to the Soft Boys when someone on WFMU played "Rock and Roll Toilet" multiple times. I want to say it was Fabio, but I'm not sure.
	10:28pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:26 Yeah. I have a form of crankiness when something doesn't click as much as I want, depending on what time of day it is. And what I need to do.
	10:28pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:27 or OLD MUSIC like Gerry Rafferty (this last year, he is an obsession)
	10:29pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @10:28 mmmmmmmm, the oldening. I am also there.
	👻 10:29pm Austin Rich: Certainly its why I turn to radio: it can provide that "jolt" of things I know / things I don't know, and usually sends me down the right path. Well, the right DJ, anyway.
	10:30pm Arvo: ↳ laurapanic @10:28 I need to listen to Gerry Rafferty. I don't remember if I have listened before.
	10:32pm Arvo: I need to listen to familiar stuff when I am cleaning or exercising. Otherwise I get distracted. After that, if there is time, I genuinely like to make time to sit and listen to music like it's a movie. I don't always do anything else. It's a rare and precious thing, but like any bad movie, you know if it is worth the investment right away, and maybe some things can come again during periods of less commitment.
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: Halloween on MVM is all month long, to coincide with the Hellraiser at WFMU! The Ramen City Kid, Mike Watt, Xeres of Xeron and Heather Zajkowski are among the guests! We get lost in a haunted house! We're taking calls and having YOU tell your ghost stories! We're playing single songs by people who have passed for "Singles Going Steady... to the Grave" week. And I wrote an entirely new episode of MST3K... on the radio, for you to enjoy! October is gonna rule. Join us, won't you? You won't be sorry.
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:32 Cleaning and exercise is almost meditation. The right music is key.
	10:34pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 Packed with ghoulish goodness!
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:34 And maybe a spectre or two!
	10:35pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 I will be there with my special coffin goggles on. ⚰️
	10:35pm coelacanth∅: off t'werk Thanks Arvo! Thanks Austin Rich! 'night mutants
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:35 Good luck! Don't let the man bring you down!
	10:36pm Arvo: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:35 Thanks for listening! Have a good day at work!
	10:37pm Kat in the chat: thank you Arvo! thank you Austin!
	10:38pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:37 Thanks for sticking around Kat!
	10:38pm Kat in the chat: oh yes
	10:39pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Tramp With Orchestra I (String Quartet)" by "Gavi... modern trampery
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: Another great Stereogram from Mr. Zylo! He and I have been collaborating on radio since I first asked him to help with a Halloween show in 2016. It's been great to see this relationship continue over the years, and I'm always impressed by his choices, and I usually discover a few things each show. Thanks so much for helping make my show that much cooler.
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:39 Gotta love those tramps. Need to do another "Riding The Rails" show soon...
	10:42pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 Thanks for having me! It's an honor and a privilege!
	10:42pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 agree!!
	10:43pm Arvo: ↳ laurapanic @10:39 What do you recommend by Gerry Rafferty? I am making a note
	10:43pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Tramp With Orchestra I (String Quartet)" by "Gavi... Morricone Island was a tribute to a great double bassist. Twice in the day I've been engaged in double bassery!
	10:43pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @10:43 starting with a greatest hits is fine. Otherwise, City to City LP.
	10:44pm Arvo: I had to think a while about playing a track as long as this one, but it just felt too necessary, despite the fact that I am certain it isn't the first time it's been aired here.
	10:44pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @10:43 he is interesting if one enjoys the wondery of production and well, my god his voice
	10:44pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @10:44 I support it
	10:44pm Arvo: ↳ laurapanic @10:43 Ok! Thanks!
	👻 10:45pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:44 It's lovely.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:44 I used to try and make sure I don't play the same thing on the show twice. (And for the most part I don't do a lot of repeating.) But in recent years, I've become a lot more lax about that. If the song works, go with it! That said: I do still try to go new places when I can.
	10:48pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:46 I get to think about what I have never played on air before and decide if it's worth it. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, never played them before, but is it necessary? They aren't bad, but does the world need it? What does it add to a situation? I never know when the last show is gonna be!
	10:49pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:45 Glad you are still up! How is your puzzle?
	👻 10:50pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:49 I've been here the whole time! Puzzle is sleeping for the night. I can only collect so many bird legs in one evening!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:48 I used to feel like it was important to play things that I thought I wasn't hearing as much of elsewhere. But I think now I want each show to just be as good as it can be, regardless of what each show is comprised of.
	10:51pm laurapanic: ↳ Heather Z @10:50 I say the same thing to myself regularly
	10:51pm laurapanic: Love the discussion on process here
	👻 10:51pm Heather Z: ↳ laurapanic @10:51 The bird legs... it's a thing, isn't it. Ai....
	10:53pm Arvo: It's an exercise in intuition, freeform radio is. It's a joyous thing. Hallelujah 🙌🙏
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: I still think of my shows like long mix-tapes, and that was certainly how I approached them at the beginning. But I think now my idea of what makes a good mix has evolved, and includes more kinds of things. When I started, you probably heard way more abrasive punk and mostly unlistenable "layered" mixes. Sometimes it's still that... but... you know... now quite as loud?
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:53 "Exercise In Intuition." I like that. Very cool.
	👻 10:54pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 When I do a mix, I go for what I'm feeling, usually, or what my arbitrary theme is. Or what secret message I'm trying to convey to someone who will never get the message, old time mix tape stylee. It is always a thrill to go to log a song at WAYO and find the band name doesn't autocomplete, though, meaning I'm the first to play them. I'm pretty pedestrian, though, so it's only, like, The Mabuses.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: We'll go about three or so minutes over...
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:54 "Coded Message Tapes To Potential Dates." Yeah... I'm made too many in my day.
	10:56pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Very much a mix tape. Some of my shows prior to leaving WLUW were for a certain lady or two. But my emphasis can be on kinds of reverb or certain words or different ways similar moods are expressed, things like that. Making rules and breaking them and then building up again.
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: But I do recall, early on, thinking, "I need to make a tape that is just a good tape..." And I sort of think of that as the original radio show thinking.
	10:58pm laurapanic: my data loving head wants to know this track's duration
	10:58pm Arvo: Putting tracks together that aren't supposed to go together, but it works anyway, is something I will never feel perfectly good at.
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: I have to admit to being VERY inspired / influenced by three of my friends, and their Mix-Tape prowess: Semi-Colin, The Ramen City Kid, and my friend kiisu, who all made equally different - and amazing - tapes, that I still cherish to this day.
	10:59pm slugluv1313: ↳ Arvo @10:32 same here -- i insist that i give the as-yet unfamiliar music my full attention (like when i was a kid and could devote my time to a new record) -- same with familiar music, prefer that when i am cleaning, cooking, whatever
	10:59pm laurapanic: ...and its a loop right? I mean thats how it would have to work right?
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:58 I believe it's a 27 minute track, originally.
	10:59pm slugluv1313: this has been wonderful, Arvo! glad i have been able to listen live -- thank you so much!
	10:59pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 thank you
	👻 11:00pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:56 The trouble with radio instead of a bespoke tape is then people are, like, was that for ME?!? And no... no it isn't. The person it's for doesn't listen to my show.
	11:00pm Arvo: ↳ laurapanic @10:59 The story goes is someone in college made a loop and let it play, and someone nearby started crying. And so he set music to it.
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @11:00 Yeah. You sort of knew that if someone gave you a tape, it was sort of FOR you.
	11:01pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @11:00 sob wow
	11:02pm Arvo: ↳ slugluv1313 @10:59 Thanks slugluv for listening and sticking around! I have been locked out of Instagram and glad about it! Hackers gave me a vacation! But my email still works!
	👻 11:02pm Heather Z: Thanks for the awesome show, Arvo and Austin! And the fun chat, everyone! Have a great night!
	👻 11:02pm Austin Rich: Great night! Great Chat! Thanks for being my regular Tuesday Night Thing!
	11:03pm WR: Hi Austin and Arvo, looking at the playlist, looks like I've missed a fun and interesting episode. Thankfully it should be archived for enjoyment later. Many thanks.
	11:03pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @11:00 I would go on about the ways in which I have romanced a lady on the radio, but that wouldn't be gentlemanly.
	11:04pm Arvo: Thanks everyone!!! Have a good night!!
	11:06pm Arvo: I forgot to say that the translation of the first track title is "You Only Become Wise Through Damage".
	11:07pm Arvo: ↳ WR @11:03 Hope you enjoy it! Thanks!

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from September 26, 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. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

	9:03pm Arvo: Hi Kat! Hi Heather! Thanks all for tuning in!
	9:04pm laurapanic: So, what have we got today?
	9:05pm Kat in the chat: I don't have any spooky stories :(
	9:05pm Arvo: I might could have a couple few friends lurking in the shadows as well
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: Greetings, everyone! This is gonna be a fun show! Sit down, stay a spell. We're gonna dance, at least at first!
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:05 I always tell people that they can call with local stories. Is there a rumor about a haunted road in your town? You could fill us in.
	9:06pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @9:03 Heather, what is your jigsaw puzzle of? I almost bought a vintage Addams Family jigsaw puzzle but I didn't because I don't do jigsaw puzzles!
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:05 We love our lurkers!
	👻 9:07pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:06 That too! Or one a friend told you, too, is legit, right, Austin?
	👻 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:04 We've got guest DJ, Arvo Zylo, with one of his Stereograms. Highly Recommended!
	👻 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:07 But of course.
	9:07pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Tears of Misery" by "Pat Hervey" There is some definitive Nashville A-Team session musicianship on this.
	9:08pm Willa Sonora: ARVOOOOOOOO
	9:08pm Arvo: ↳ laurapanic @9:04 Hi Laura, when I do freeform, it's definitely like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get! But I can say there are some dark tones in here and a lot of stuff I discovered in 2022 that I didn't get to play yet.
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:07 Yeah, that was very nice.
	9:08pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:07 I dont know what that means, but I am here to find out
	👻 9:09pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:06 I've really done it this time. It's blue birds on oranges. Impossible! Trying to peice together bird legs rn. Ahhh
	9:09pm Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @9:07 And I was correct. Produced by Chet Atkins. I heard the Jordanaires too. I was trained to pick out that stuff.
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: We are a puzzle household. We even invested in a huge "puzzle cover," so we can put it over the puzzle so the cats don't mess with it at night.
	9:10pm Aitch: Hiho Zylo, phoning in
	9:10pm Arvo: Hi Willa! 🎈😎🤠🤑🥰
	9:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: The latest 20'Minutes show was really good
	9:11pm Arvo: ↳ Aitch @9:10 Hi Aitch! Right on!
	👻 9:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:11 Thanks! I had fun putting that one together. (And: it's one of my fave movies.)
	9:12pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @9:09 I like birds and oranges! What a combo!
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: hi Austin Rich and Arvo and y'all
	👻 9:14pm Austin Rich: I do love the Tuesday night chats. Everyone's here!
	9:14pm Geoff-U: Good evenin'!
	9:14pm Arvo: Hi Coelacanth! Hi Krys O! I thought they were in Canada so I did not know they piece of info!
	9:15pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:14 Good evening! 🧛
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:14 Geoff! Looking forward to that record!
	9:15pm coelacanth∅: this sounds spanishish to me
	9:15pm Geoff-U: ↳ Austin Rich @9:15 yay!
	👻 9:16pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:12 It'll be pretty, I think, if I ever get it done! Loving the tunes so far!! Awesome stuff!
	9:16pm slugluv1313: greetings, Arvo! Everyone! happy to be here and listening live :)
	9:17pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @9:16 Thank you! Yeah I was going to build a model Munsters mansion, but it wasn't big enough to justify the time I would spend on it, so a jigsaw did cross my mind. Hi slugluv! Good to see you here! Thanks for stopping by!
	9:18pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Some Footage of Dancing That No-One Else Saw" by ... ooh pretty
	9:18pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Some Footage of Dancing That No-One Else Saw" by ... Roy Montgomery 💜💜💜
	9:18pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:18 This is my favorite release of 2022.
	👻 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Some Footage of Dancing That No-One Else Saw" by ... Yeah, this is delightful.
	9:20pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Arvo @9:18 I just wishlisted it on bc
	9:21pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:20 Yeah there is some really good organ stuff in that one too, not just guitar. I first heard of Roy Montgomery when he collaborated with Flying Saucer Attack. Great stuff.
	9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Been spending time asking ChatGPT for crossover stories I know no human would ever write.
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:22 That's probably a good use for it.
	9:23pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Some Footage of Dancing That No-One Else Saw" by ... same here, just added to bc wishlist -- but just reading that this album is dedicated to Roy's late partner -- beautiful but heartbreaking
	9:27pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 It can be fun
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Tamo Daleko" by "Branko Mataja" Numero Group, does it again. I sometimes feel like there is an endless well of releases they manage to uncover.
	9:28pm Krys O.: Off to sleepy by! Bon soir!
	9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Speaking of fun, I'm hoping we'll be able to continue with the project
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:28 Sleep well! Thanks again.
	9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Krys O. @9:28 Enjoy the Blanket Show
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:29 Absolutely. I do want to get to that as soon as possible.
	9:29pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 I cut my teeth on Numero group releases, they were the beacon of light in the WLUW catalog which was otherwise dominated by music that was not to my tastes...
	9:30pm coelacanth∅: g'night Krys
	9:30pm Arvo: Night Krys!
	9:30pm Kat in the chat: good night Krys!
	👻 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:29 Yeah, they really have an ear for excellent stuff. Rarely a misstep.
	9:31pm slugluv1313: ↳ Krys O. @9:28 hi Krys! and good night! :)
	9:32pm Geoff-U: This song is excellent
	9:33pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:32 I love Jarboe so much! Got to do a modest remix of her once!
	9:33pm Geoff-U: Oh! I just scrolled down and realized this was Jarboe! I saw Swans in 1992 or so and she was great
	9:34pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:33 I am jealous. I was 11 years old. I saw her in 2017 though. She has the heart and soul of an army.
	9:35pm Geoff-U: Actually it was The Burning World (an album frustratingly absent from streaming) tour so it was probably '89 or '90
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:35 I was thinking about all the albums that aren't anywhere online yet, for a variety of reasons. I feel like there's a short-story in there, somewhere.
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: "If no one ever listens, is the album really ever 'streaming'?"
	9:40pm Arvo: Danzig only recently allowed much of his back catalog to be on streaming platforms.
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:40 De La Soul had legal issues holding up their albums from being streaming until this year.
	9:43pm Arvo: King Crimson recently put there studio albums up on streaming. Prior to that, they just had a slew of live albums up. I have to check if ACDC gave in, I know they rejected itunes and streaming for a long time.
	9:44pm Arvo: *their
	9:44pm Geoff-U: This reminds me of my stomach after Taco Bell
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:44 Zing.
	9:45pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:44 Chainsaws and all
	9:45pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sorry I'm not very chatty tonight. Just drew Desdinova in a tie-dye dress
	9:46pm slugluv1313: ↳ Geoff-U @9:44 😹😹😹
	9:46pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @9:45 Chainsaw Duet featuring Ash and Grell.
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @9:37 hmmm, i hadn't considered it -but i've submitted several releases to discogs that weren't there before, and some artists that weren't there... i should provide some recordings for those shouldn't i
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:47 When I put my collection into discogs, I was shocked at the albums that there were no listings for.
	9:49pm Arvo: I often spent a lot of time taking notes of stuff that still isn't online at WZRD. How an LP can still be offline is pretty impressive.
	👻 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:49 Some things fall through the cracks. It's sort of cool.
	👻 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:45 It happens. At least you're having fun!
	9:50pm Arvo: There was a DJ there that decided to play everything in the catalog chronologically, and I was there with her for a lot of it. So much of it was God awful! It was pretty brutal, and then Jimi Hendrix would come on and it would be like the Empire State Building lit up.
	9:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @9:49 Some old classic kids albums can be found on YouTube on the BoyJohn channel
	9:52pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:50 I kinda want to find an inventory of kids albums or singles that were on orange vinyl. I swear I had an orange vinyl kids record with my fisher price record player that I don't recall.
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @9:50 i wonder sometimes if an artist sees their one thing up on discogs and sees i submitted it and am the only one with a copy of it (apparently) then what they think about whatever arbitrary fee i'm charging for it!
	9:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @9:52 Was it a song or story?
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:53 Maybe! I'm sure some variation of that happens. At least, it seems likely artists would search for themselves, given what I know about artists.
	9:57pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:54 I don't remember. Also, I was in a band that had produced a CD in an edition of 500 copies, still not on discogs. I wasn't on the CD. Our recordings got stolen, so that was a strange binge I barely remember.
	👻 9:58pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:52 Argh. These sound so familiar.... Which! Follow up from long ago: my dad's 8 track broke and he actually threw it away. No 8 track DJ sets for me unless I (8) track down another machine from somewhere.
	9:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "A Door Opens Backwards (Excerpt)" by "Akira Rabel... Really into this one
	👻 9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:58 Yeah, this one is very nice.
	9:59pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "A Door Opens Backwards (Excerpt)" by "Akira Rabel... I love when an artist only puts out like 8 releases or less in 20 years, but never goes on hiatus or anything, just takes their time.
	👻 9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:57 I think the moral of the story is: discogs is only as good as its users.
	10:01pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Arvo @9:57 helps put things into perspective when 500 cds, which seems like a respectable number, can dissipate into the atmosphere so thinly. ...you know they're out there, or at least a few hundred of them; but not everyone uses discogs, let alone contributes to it. (or other sites)
	👻 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:59 I love artists like that, and usually really appreciate their work. I have no patience, myself. I feel like everything is behind deadline, and that I'm still 10 albums behind.
	10:01pm Aitch: Mutating away quietly here in the corner
	👻 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:01 We Love Our Lurkers!
	10:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Aitch @10:01 Nothing wrong with a peaceful mutation
	10:02pm laurapanic: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:53 I've seen my short run CDs from old bands on there. Its interesting! Am loving this discussion....
	10:03pm laurapanic: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:01 I have a lot of very short run CDs from the 90s, curios curios
	👻 10:03pm Austin Rich: "I mutate twice in the morning / I mutate twice at night / I mutate twice in the afternoon / It makes me feel alright."
	👻 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:03 I can't get rid of my CDs because there are so many examples of bands my friends were in that I'm sure I can't replace.
	10:04pm coelacanth∅: ↳ laurapanic @10:02 i've bought something of your band's! but that was bandcamp.
	10:05pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @9:57 If you like old kids albums, two good ones are "The Lion Sleeps Tonight/Rocking' Robin" and "21 Short Songs for Little People"
	10:05pm Arvo: ↳ Aitch @10:01 The simmering crackle, slither, and sloth of a nice after-dinner mutation.
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:04 or am i mistaken?! i'm sorry if so. i'm blanking out on the name and how i found out it was you but i can't look now.
	10:07pm Willa Sonora: goodnight! great show!
	10:07pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:05 I stretch out my glistening star-strewn wings and utter a cry to shake the stars
	10:07pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:05 These days, it's just Halloween stuff and weird Christian kid stuff if it's kid stuff. Goodnight Willa! 😘
	10:08pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:07 Sounds like a Marc Bolan lyric! I do love me some Marc Bolan.
	👻 10:08pm Austin Rich: Yeah, we broke out the Halloween Music a few weeks ago in our house. Which led to re-organizing my records, too, which is still not done. Sigh.
	10:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:07 Kids need to be kids
	👻 10:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:08 xxx-ooo T. Rex.
	10:09pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:04 yes! This!
	10:09pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:08 Reminds me of Albert Bouchard
	10:10pm laurapanic: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:04 oh wow - that would be my all lady punk band. On a bit of a hiatus at the moment - been playing 23 years on and off. I'm doing some no-wave noisey stuff at the moment. Having a blast.
	👻 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:09 I've already had too many tapes break or wear out. I'm not going through that pain again.
	10:10pm Arvo: I used to organize my records by era or style. I had a thrift section, a Halloween section, a noise section, a sixties section, etc. I got tired of alphabetical.
	10:11pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @10:10 yeh I'm not into alpha organising records
	10:12pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:10 I've got a working tape deck and tapes. Been buying the odd tape again. Recently got gifted a Bikini Kill 90s bootleg. It was so nice to get that kind of tape again
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:10 I've been thinking more and more about breaking out a "thrift store" section. When I was talking to Le Petit Sac way back when, he was trying to urge me to do it.
	10:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: The cat just demanded that I get in bed. I'm going to try to stay awake, but no guarantee.
	10:13pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 I had no choice. I had a big thrift section, organ records especially.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:12 Jealous! I missed them on their reunion tour, last year. I have piles of tapes and I play them often, but I worry about the ones I can't replace, again, from friends and their bands, etc.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:13 Makes sense. Sleep well!
	10:13pm laurapanic: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:13 I understand that requirement, feline as it is
	10:14pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:13 Goodnight!
	10:14pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 I saw them at the Sydney Opera House. It was very cool, we all felt naughty being in such a place - including the band!
	10:14pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:14 Good night
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:14 I saw them WAAAAAAAY back in the day... but was sort of hoping I could see the reunion tour, and couldn't for a lot of reasons. (Sigh.) Next time?
	10:15pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:14 Tobi ws sick ofr one or two shows, so an amazing local drummer (from Tropical Fuckstorm) filled in, as she was their drum tech for the tour. But Tobi was back for the show I was at
	10:16pm Kat in the chat: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 Reading "Tropical Fuckstorm" made me laugh out loud, I am happy that is someone's band name
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:16 It's very brill.
	10:17pm laurapanic: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:16 isn't it just delightful?? Great band, check out their song "You Let My Tyres Down"
	10:18pm Arvo: I try not to play too much punk when I am a guest for Austin, because he has that covered, but I have been listening to a good amount of punk lately.
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:18 It's good for what ails ya. Or ales ya, depending.
	10:19pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @10:18 your set is perfect
	10:20pm Arvo: ↳ laurapanic @10:19 Thank you!! But yeah Austin turned me into The Wipers recently. They weren't mean enough for me when I was a teen, but I had heard them.
	10:21pm Arvo: Ok this track right now is Bill Nace fyi
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:21 Whoops! Sorry. I was doing so well until then...
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:20 I think we talked about this a little in e-mail: it's funny the things we push away as young people, that was perfectly great. I was not into the Soft Boys for a LONG time for some dumb reason. Then, one day, a roommate put it on, and it clicked.
	10:23pm Geoff-U: That Zabelle Panosian song was incredible
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:23 Agreed. Very, very cool.
	10:24pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @10:23 Yeah that whole thing is great. I bought the digital but it is a CD box set, all just deeply beautiful stuff.
	10:25pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 I can give The Soft Boys another crack at it. I haven't dismissed them, just wasn't blown away at the time twenty years ago.
	10:26pm Arvo: Ok next track coming up
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:25 I might have mentioned this, too: there's so much to listen to! Sometimes you just make quick choices and it takes a while to try again. I usually try to have an open ear, with a few exceptions that are now closed books.
	10:27pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 so much this. If you had told 22yr old Laura she would grow up to enjoy 13min noise and drone tracks....
	10:28pm Kat in the chat: I was won over, at least to some extent, to the Soft Boys when someone on WFMU played "Rock and Roll Toilet" multiple times. I want to say it was Fabio, but I'm not sure.
	10:28pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:26 Yeah. I have a form of crankiness when something doesn't click as much as I want, depending on what time of day it is. And what I need to do.
	10:28pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:27 or OLD MUSIC like Gerry Rafferty (this last year, he is an obsession)
	10:29pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @10:28 mmmmmmmm, the oldening. I am also there.
	👻 10:29pm Austin Rich: Certainly its why I turn to radio: it can provide that "jolt" of things I know / things I don't know, and usually sends me down the right path. Well, the right DJ, anyway.
	10:30pm Arvo: ↳ laurapanic @10:28 I need to listen to Gerry Rafferty. I don't remember if I have listened before.
	10:32pm Arvo: I need to listen to familiar stuff when I am cleaning or exercising. Otherwise I get distracted. After that, if there is time, I genuinely like to make time to sit and listen to music like it's a movie. I don't always do anything else. It's a rare and precious thing, but like any bad movie, you know if it is worth the investment right away, and maybe some things can come again during periods of less commitment.
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: Halloween on MVM is all month long, to coincide with the Hellraiser at WFMU! The Ramen City Kid, Mike Watt, Xeres of Xeron and Heather Zajkowski are among the guests! We get lost in a haunted house! We're taking calls and having YOU tell your ghost stories! We're playing single songs by people who have passed for "Singles Going Steady... to the Grave" week. And I wrote an entirely new episode of MST3K... on the radio, for you to enjoy! October is gonna rule. Join us, won't you? You won't be sorry.
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:32 Cleaning and exercise is almost meditation. The right music is key.
	10:34pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 Packed with ghoulish goodness!
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:34 And maybe a spectre or two!
	10:35pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 I will be there with my special coffin goggles on. ⚰️
	10:35pm coelacanth∅: off t'werk Thanks Arvo! Thanks Austin Rich! 'night mutants
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:35 Good luck! Don't let the man bring you down!
	10:36pm Arvo: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:35 Thanks for listening! Have a good day at work!
	10:37pm Kat in the chat: thank you Arvo! thank you Austin!
	10:38pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:37 Thanks for sticking around Kat!
	10:38pm Kat in the chat: oh yes
	10:39pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Tramp With Orchestra I (String Quartet)" by "Gavi... modern trampery
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: Another great Stereogram from Mr. Zylo! He and I have been collaborating on radio since I first asked him to help with a Halloween show in 2016. It's been great to see this relationship continue over the years, and I'm always impressed by his choices, and I usually discover a few things each show. Thanks so much for helping make my show that much cooler.
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:39 Gotta love those tramps. Need to do another "Riding The Rails" show soon...
	10:42pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 Thanks for having me! It's an honor and a privilege!
	10:42pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 agree!!
	10:43pm Arvo: ↳ laurapanic @10:39 What do you recommend by Gerry Rafferty? I am making a note
	10:43pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Tramp With Orchestra I (String Quartet)" by "Gavi... Morricone Island was a tribute to a great double bassist. Twice in the day I've been engaged in double bassery!
	10:43pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @10:43 starting with a greatest hits is fine. Otherwise, City to City LP.
	10:44pm Arvo: I had to think a while about playing a track as long as this one, but it just felt too necessary, despite the fact that I am certain it isn't the first time it's been aired here.
	10:44pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @10:43 he is interesting if one enjoys the wondery of production and well, my god his voice
	10:44pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @10:44 I support it
	10:44pm Arvo: ↳ laurapanic @10:43 Ok! Thanks!
	👻 10:45pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:44 It's lovely.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:44 I used to try and make sure I don't play the same thing on the show twice. (And for the most part I don't do a lot of repeating.) But in recent years, I've become a lot more lax about that. If the song works, go with it! That said: I do still try to go new places when I can.
	10:48pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:46 I get to think about what I have never played on air before and decide if it's worth it. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, never played them before, but is it necessary? They aren't bad, but does the world need it? What does it add to a situation? I never know when the last show is gonna be!
	10:49pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:45 Glad you are still up! How is your puzzle?
	👻 10:50pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:49 I've been here the whole time! Puzzle is sleeping for the night. I can only collect so many bird legs in one evening!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:48 I used to feel like it was important to play things that I thought I wasn't hearing as much of elsewhere. But I think now I want each show to just be as good as it can be, regardless of what each show is comprised of.
	10:51pm laurapanic: ↳ Heather Z @10:50 I say the same thing to myself regularly
	10:51pm laurapanic: Love the discussion on process here
	👻 10:51pm Heather Z: ↳ laurapanic @10:51 The bird legs... it's a thing, isn't it. Ai....
	10:53pm Arvo: It's an exercise in intuition, freeform radio is. It's a joyous thing. Hallelujah 🙌🙏
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: I still think of my shows like long mix-tapes, and that was certainly how I approached them at the beginning. But I think now my idea of what makes a good mix has evolved, and includes more kinds of things. When I started, you probably heard way more abrasive punk and mostly unlistenable "layered" mixes. Sometimes it's still that... but... you know... now quite as loud?
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:53 "Exercise In Intuition." I like that. Very cool.
	👻 10:54pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 When I do a mix, I go for what I'm feeling, usually, or what my arbitrary theme is. Or what secret message I'm trying to convey to someone who will never get the message, old time mix tape stylee. It is always a thrill to go to log a song at WAYO and find the band name doesn't autocomplete, though, meaning I'm the first to play them. I'm pretty pedestrian, though, so it's only, like, The Mabuses.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: We'll go about three or so minutes over...
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:54 "Coded Message Tapes To Potential Dates." Yeah... I'm made too many in my day.
	10:56pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Very much a mix tape. Some of my shows prior to leaving WLUW were for a certain lady or two. But my emphasis can be on kinds of reverb or certain words or different ways similar moods are expressed, things like that. Making rules and breaking them and then building up again.
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: But I do recall, early on, thinking, "I need to make a tape that is just a good tape..." And I sort of think of that as the original radio show thinking.
	10:58pm laurapanic: my data loving head wants to know this track's duration
	10:58pm Arvo: Putting tracks together that aren't supposed to go together, but it works anyway, is something I will never feel perfectly good at.
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: I have to admit to being VERY inspired / influenced by three of my friends, and their Mix-Tape prowess: Semi-Colin, The Ramen City Kid, and my friend kiisu, who all made equally different - and amazing - tapes, that I still cherish to this day.
	10:59pm slugluv1313: ↳ Arvo @10:32 same here -- i insist that i give the as-yet unfamiliar music my full attention (like when i was a kid and could devote my time to a new record) -- same with familiar music, prefer that when i am cleaning, cooking, whatever
	10:59pm laurapanic: ...and its a loop right? I mean thats how it would have to work right?
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:58 I believe it's a 27 minute track, originally.
	10:59pm slugluv1313: this has been wonderful, Arvo! glad i have been able to listen live -- thank you so much!
	10:59pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 thank you
	👻 11:00pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:56 The trouble with radio instead of a bespoke tape is then people are, like, was that for ME?!? And no... no it isn't. The person it's for doesn't listen to my show.
	11:00pm Arvo: ↳ laurapanic @10:59 The story goes is someone in college made a loop and let it play, and someone nearby started crying. And so he set music to it.
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @11:00 Yeah. You sort of knew that if someone gave you a tape, it was sort of FOR you.
	11:01pm laurapanic: ↳ Arvo @11:00 sob wow
	11:02pm Arvo: ↳ slugluv1313 @10:59 Thanks slugluv for listening and sticking around! I have been locked out of Instagram and glad about it! Hackers gave me a vacation! But my email still works!
	👻 11:02pm Heather Z: Thanks for the awesome show, Arvo and Austin! And the fun chat, everyone! Have a great night!
	👻 11:02pm Austin Rich: Great night! Great Chat! Thanks for being my regular Tuesday Night Thing!
	11:03pm WR: Hi Austin and Arvo, looking at the playlist, looks like I've missed a fun and interesting episode. Thankfully it should be archived for enjoyment later. Many thanks.
	11:03pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @11:00 I would go on about the ways in which I have romanced a lady on the radio, but that wouldn't be gentlemanly.
	11:04pm Arvo: Thanks everyone!!! Have a good night!!
	11:06pm Arvo: I forgot to say that the translation of the first track title is "You Only Become Wise Through Damage".
	11:07pm Arvo: ↳ WR @11:03 Hope you enjoy it! Thanks!
