	9:01pm postconsumer: that was super (Sheena's jungle room intro). did you mix it, Austin?
	9:01pm univac: Hello, all!
	9:01pm Austin Rich: Nice to see you, Imaginos, Krys O, and postconsumer! Now... are you ready for more, old tapes? And univac, too! Hooray!
	9:01pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @9:01 That was me, Jon. I made that.
	9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:01 That was Krys!
	9:02pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:01 Old tapes with solid music
	9:02pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @9:01 Is there a page with bumpers like that? It was awesome. Is that what they're called? Bumpers? Or Whips?
	9:03pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @9:02 Before I even started doing a show on Sheena's, I made IDs. I'll send them to you.
	9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:02 I call them bumpers. Maybe there's a more legit name?
	9:04pm univac: Loving this so far, Austin!
	9:04pm Imaginos: ↳ Song: "The Cantina Song" by "Ash" I remember WLVI TV used to use the Cantina band song for their station id
	9:05pm Austin Rich: These are cuts from real tapes I made in the 90's.
	9:05pm ramencity: Hello Magnetic-Dust ear-surfers!
	9:05pm Krys O.: I saw a bit of Force 10 from Navarone the other night and didn't remember that Harrison Ford is in that.
	9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:05 Ramen City Kid! Hooray!
	9:05pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @9:03 thanks!
	9:06pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:05 I spent so much time holding onto the 80s that I missed the 90s.
	9:06pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @9:06 You didn't miss much
	9:07pm postconsumer: I always say that, because of my memories of pop music, then, but the truth is there was a lot of great stuff going on, elsewhere
	9:08pm postconsumer: mix tape energy
	9:09pm laurapanic: I am deffo here for mixed tape joy joys
	9:11pm postconsumer: appreciate your talking openly about that. people change!
	9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:11 I hope we do! If I was exactly as I was then, I would probably be insufferable, for everyeone. (Myself included.)
	9:13pm univac: I'm glad you're here now as you are, Austin.
	9:13pm postconsumer: This sounds an awful lot like the MST3K theme
	9:13pm Kat in the chat: Old tapes, you say?
	9:13pm postconsumer: oh, wait...
	9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "MST3K Love Theme (Live)" by "Man... or Astro-Man?" I still watch MST3K now... and it seemed like the most magical discovery then. This show is never far from my mind. Same could be said for Man... Or Astro-Man?
	9:13pm Karly: Hey brother :)
	9:14pm univac: I love MST3K and MOAM.
	9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Karly @9:13 It's my sister, who gifted me these tapes! Hey Karly, how's it going?
	9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Party In Cherynobl" by "Conkrit" This was a local Eugene punk band, that my band, Cathead, played with many times.
	9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:14 Over the years, I've seen MOAM 20 times, reunion tours included. They put on the best shows, and they used to tour CONSTANTLY back in the day.
	9:16pm Karly: ↳ Austin Rich @9:14 I suddenly feel like I'm 16 again ;)
	9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:13 Kat in the Chat! You snuck in there, I almost didn't see you!
	9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Karly @9:16 I thought you still were?
	9:16pm Kat in the chat: I'm too exhausted from my job to make a grand entrance, haha
	9:17pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Party In Cherynobl" by "Conkrit" I don't think any of them were old enough to remember Chernobyl either
	9:17pm Austin Rich: Lord Sinkhole!
	9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:16 I feel like many people have been showing their love for Nancy lately. I do love your avatar!
	9:18pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" by "Nancy Sinatra" Operation Ivy cover?! I'll get me coat...
	9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:18 I listened to a LOT of Op Ivy in those days. (I think it was required.) The real crime was going to a Readymen, show, and then only talking about Op Ivy around them...
	9:19pm Karly: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 LOL, never again! I'll keep the music and pass on the angst.
	9:19pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @9:18 Wendy del Formaggio on the Drummer stream gifted me that one. Nancy has indeed been popular round these parts recently.
	9:19pm univac: Hi Karly! I think your brother is just the best.
	9:22pm Austin Rich: Most of this set is stuff I recorded off of KWVA, which was my bread and butter in the days I made these tapes. It was the station that I eventually started DJing at, but these mix tapes are from stuff I would record at home before I ever was a REAL DJ, just in my mind...
	9:22pm Karly: ↳ univac @9:19 Yeah he's pretty rad. Austin started giving me mixed tapes when I was 14 and he was 19. It was a huge influence on my early taste in music. :)
	9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Karly @9:22 Karly has been on the show a few times, over the years. If there's a show with a lot of songs from musicals in it, Karly was possibly the guest.
	9:24pm postconsumer: ↳ Karly @9:22 you're only the second person I've seen who calls them Mixed Tapes. 😎
	9:25pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "??" by "Got Is My Co-Pilot?" makes me wanna pull out the LP I have. They are weird.
	9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:25 I'm only guessing that it's them. I really don't know what this song is... but I have come to love it over the years.
	9:26pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Snack Cracker" by "Southern Culture On The Skids" Yesss I love SCOTS
	9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Snack Cracker" by "Southern Culture On The Skids" For many years, I only knew this song as "Snack Cracker." I finally discovered the band when I met my friend Cheryl, who was a huge fan, and hipped me to what this even was.
	9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:26 This song might have a lot to do with the stupid way I dance in public...
	9:28pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 ooooooooooooh mystery. Love it
	9:28pm Imaginos: ↳ Song: "Snack Cracker" by "Southern Culture On The Skids" Love Captain's wafers.
	9:28pm Karly: ↳ postconsumer @9:24 Good point, I probably called them Mix-tapes just as often back then. :)
	9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:28 Right?
	9:28pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 Stupid is the best way to dance to this! I love that the lyrics shout out Lance crackers. "Don't go 'round hungry!"
	9:28pm Austin Rich: "Little Debbie, Little Debbie. I"m comin' home!"
	9:28pm ramencity: I'm gonna start calling 'em mash tapes
	9:29pm Karly: ↳ ramencity @9:28 Hey ramencity!!! Long time no see <3
	9:29pm ramencity: ↳ Karly @9:29 Hiya! Yeah too long!
	9:30pm Austin Rich: "ALL THE KIDS WANT SOMETHIN' TO DO."
	9:30pm univac: ↳ Karly @9:22 Awesome! If this is what they were, you were a very lucky sibling!
	9:30pm Austin Rich: "That drug awareness..."
	9:31pm Karly: ↳ univac @9:30 Oh man you don't even know :)
	9:32pm Imaginos: Always
	9:32pm Karly: Wow, a shoutout! I'm famous! :)
	9:36pm Karly: I can attest to the reused tapes. Austin once made me a copy of Hole's "Live through this" (plus some extra songs) when I was 14 and it was on a repurposed book on tape. I think I still have that thing somewhere...
	9:37pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Karly @9:36 Haha!
	9:38pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Mexican Caravan" by "The Butthole Surfers" CUE MEGA GRINS FROM ME
	9:39pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Mexican Caravan" by "The Butthole Surfers" UGH guitar mastery
	9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Mexican Caravan" by "The Butthole Surfers" One of the first concerts that I went to on my own was a Butthole Surfers show. I was so naive, had no idea what I was in for. They had crazy cage dancers, Gibby was naked, and they had dental films projected on them. It was life changing.
	9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:39 Yeah, I love that solo!
	9:40pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 jesus christ yes. I saw them once in the early 90s in a youth hall. it was great.
	9:41pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 no one is 'right' until they have listened to Butthole Surfers.
	9:41pm Karly: ↳ Karly @9:36 Austin. I found the tape and it was on a "Bible Study Tape"!!! I just texted you a picture, can you post that somewhere?? LOL
	9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Karly @9:41 Working on it...
	9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "It's a Beautiful Day" by "??" I don't think I know who this band is. Anyone know?
	9:42pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 No clue!
	9:43pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 Let's make a pact to never find out.
	9:44pm postconsumer: ↳ Karly @9:28 sounds like a cross between Cher and Elvis
	9:44pm Kat in the chat: What an excellent repurposing of a Bible Study Tape!
	9:44pm Austin Rich: I posted an image at the end of the playlist, of the "Live Through This" tape I made for Karly. As you can see, it's on a Bible Study Tape. There's a story about that...
	9:45pm Heather: Absolutely loving the show tonight! The struggle about blank tapes really resonates with me! One Xmas, maybe 1993, I gave a kind of BF a stack of 4 new tapes I'd made mixes and copies on, so practically gold, right? He was so disappointed. Guess he thought I should have bought him a Rolex or a Cadillac.
	9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Seasons in the Sun" by "??" Again, not really sure who this is. Any help?
	9:45pm Karly: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 Thanks bro!!
	9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:45 Yeah, if the new beau doesn't like mix tapes, that's a sign: dump him.
	9:46pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 i'm going with: heavily-drugged religious cult
	9:46pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @9:46 We did not even get past the kind of stage!
	9:47pm Austin Rich: "Do The Hustle!"
	9:47pm Krys O.: Good night, all!
	9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:47 Sleep well, Krys!
	9:47pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Krys O. @9:47 Goodnight Krys!
	9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Warner Bros. Edit (Hit It 2)" Discovering those Carl Stalling albums in the 90's also blew my mind in ways I'm still recovering from.
	9:49pm univac: I love the repurposed Bible Study Tape! I used decent tapes for mixtapes for friends, but for my own usage, samples, etc, I always used found tapes, lots of motivational and religious ones because they were fukkin everywhere.
	9:49pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Bad in Bed (Vanilla Ice Version)" by "White Trash... This one is White Trash Debutantes
	9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:49 Oh! That does ring a bell! Thanks!
	9:51pm Austin Rich: "The Dan Quayle of Rock 'n' Roll." Wow, what a wonderfully dated reference.
	9:51pm Mr. X: ...stumbles in
	9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:51 Mr. X: I'm so glad you made it! There's some mysteries in tonight's playlist...
	9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Ed" by "King Missile" At one point in my life, I used to have the lyrics to this memorized, and could just recite it off the dome. Some lines are still there, but most of it is gone, now...
	9:53pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Ed" by "King Missile" We played this song several times on Brain Spackle.
	9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:53 We still need to do our tribute to Brain Spackle...
	9:55pm Karly: ↳ univac @9:49 I mean... seems really resourceful to me! :) The only downside to Austin's cheap tapes were that they would fall apart pretty fast... I remember I had two very treasured tapes from Austin that became unplayable because I listened to them to death... Luckily, I saved the liner notes and he was able to re-create them years later (digitally) so at least I had the songs again, if not the tape :)
	9:55pm Austin Rich: I think about this part of the song when I'm watching some art documentary...
	9:55pm Karly: ↳ Austin Rich @9:51 That was one of my favorite parts of the tape back then! :P
	9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Karly @9:55 Oh, I remember doing that for you!
	9:56pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:54 It's going to take me about a year to get that together. I have to earmark everything first, so I can find what I need from it.
	9:56pm Karly: ↳ Song: a song You had to be there I guess...
	9:56pm Imaginos: Sending you a tidbit, Austin
	9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:56 Oooo, thank you!
	9:57pm Austin Rich: "Pontificate pointlessly..." I have adopted that as something I write FAR too often.
	9:57pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:56 You're welcome
	9:57pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 That's a lot of words!
	9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Jet Boy, Jet Girl" by "The Damned" I had an ex who became obsessed with this song, and she wanted to hear it almost constantly for a while. I've heard it so much, it's part of my DNA now.
	9:59pm univac: Thanks Austin through this great mixtape journey! I gotta run. Until next time!
	9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:59 See ya soon!
	9:59pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Do The Hustle" by "??" I came in too late to hear this, but the hit version was by Van McCoy.
	10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:59 This is a cover.
	10:00pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Seasons in the Sun" by "??" Hit version by Terry Jacks.
	10:02pm Karly: Talk Hard!!!
	10:07pm Imaginos: Awww
	10:08pm Karly: The pleasure was all mine bro, love you!
	10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Punk As Fuck" by "Piglet" The members of my old band, Cathead, worshiped Piglet, and often tried to sound like them. This Piglet tape - with the religious riff at the top - got a LOT of play, among the Cathead Kids.
	10:12pm Austin Rich: Chorus: "I tired real hard to be a jock, I got rejected, now I'm punk rock!"
	10:14pm Imaginos: Speaking of pigs, you remember Green Jelly?
	10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Myth (In The Sky)" by "Resist" As a young man, trying to learn how to play bass, I would try to play along with this song. Never got very good at bass, but have fond memories of listening to Resist records with the gang.
	10:16pm Heather: ↳ Imaginos @10:14 Oh we used to scream that one song in the basement at a friend's where her brother actually had a real Green Jelly show flier taped up!
	10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Carnival" by "Bikini Kill" When Bikini Kill played at the Skating Rink in Springfield, OR, we all went. The Thrones opened. We basically got to hang out with and meet everyone, because the skating rink wasn't that big. We even gave Bikini Kill a Cathead tape. Now, it's over $100 to see them.
	10:18pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Carnival" by "Bikini Kill" meet me at Lakefair!
	10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Wooden Song" by "The Butthole Surfers" I used to sing this one all the time, when I was stressed out at my fast food job, and was trying to forget where I was.
	10:19pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy. And if I know my kitty she's going to wake me at 4
	10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:19 Sleep well! Thanks for coming out tonight.
	10:20pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:19 Had fun as always
	10:20pm Mr. X: ↳ Imaginos @10:14 All I know about them is that they wanted to be called Green Jell-o, until Jell-o threatened to sue them, so they changed it to Jelly, but still pronounced it as Jell-o.
	10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:20 For a while, not too many years ago, the act was just one gent, who would do a stripped down version, by himself, on stage. They played here in the Mid-Valley just before the Pandemic.
	10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels."" There isn't a day I don't think about some random Monty Python routine. I've seen them all too many times, they're just a part of my vocabulary.
	10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Pardon My French / Descension" by "Unwound" Fingers crossed, I will strap on a mask in October and go see Unwound play again, with Steel Pole Bathtub!
	10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Apollo Charter Tours"" Bill Nye Samples were a staple of my mix tapes back in the day.
	10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Michelle's Farm" by "The Beastie Boys" I was borderline obsessed with The Beastie Boys in those days, and always managed to fit them into just about all my tapes.
	10:30pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: ""Apollo Charter Tours"" Just don't take the Boeing flight...
	10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:30 Zing.
	10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Monty Python / Moon Cycle Edit" Someday I will do a cover of this Bill Nye / Moon Cycle song.
	10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Yeah Yeah Yeah" by "Deadbolt" Like everyone in the Mid-Valley, I saw Deadbolt once. They were great!
	10:40pm Austin Rich: wfmu.org...
	10:41pm Austin Rich: www.wfmu.org...
	10:42pm Heather: Uncle Austin!! Fantastic! I'll try to be up in time to tune in!
	10:46pm laurapanic: I'll be asleep then but will look up the archive.
	10:49pm Austin Rich: It'll be a nice excuse to wear those Hawaiian Shirts I have. Maybe Uncle Austin will become a regular character?
	10:49pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Viva Las Vegas" by "Dead Kennedys" this is delightful.....from Virus 100? A classic comp
	10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Viva Las Vegas" by "Dead Kennedys" When I ran Karaoke in PDX, I would regularly put in to sing the original version of this song, but I would sing the DK lyrics. I think it's from that comp... I probably got this from a Colin Mix tape. But yeah, those Virus records were ESSENTIAL.
	10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Someone Ate the Baby" by "Shel Silverstein" My old Mix Tapes often had bits I recorded off of Dr. Demento's show, too.
	10:52pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 I'm excited to hear the Uncle Austin character!! And definitely yes to Hawaiian shirts. It's a great look for anyone.
	10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Communication Breakdown" by "The Dickies" Truth be told, this Dickies album - Stukas Over Disneyland - was one of my TOP 10 albums as a youth. I listened to it until I broke the tape, bought a new tape, and wore that one out. I now have the LP, but damn... I listened to The Dickies every day, for many years...
	10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @10:52 Hopefully it will live up to the hype.
	10:54pm Austin Rich: Vintage channel flipping...
	10:54pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 I'm entirely confident you'll nail this!
	10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Maggot Brain" by "Mike Watt" When this first solo album came out by Mike Watt, it totally blew my mind. I listened to it a lot, saw him a few times when he came to the Mid-Valley. It was part of my punk education, to have this guy who I loved introducing me to other kinds of music that wasn't really punk. It's funny to think how often he's been an influence on me.
	10:58pm Mr. X: That's the voice of Sean Carroll discussing the arrow of time, I was just telling you about him.
	10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:58 I might have listened...
	11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Maggot Brain" by "Mike Watt" Mr. Watt is going on tour in the Fall, in a Free-Improv/Punk band, with one of the gents from Saccharine Trust. It should be a fun show, and he's playing near enough to me that I could see him a couple times. I might strap on a mask for this next tour.
	11:01pm Austin Rich: "The same events happen over and over." Like when you listen to old mix tapes...
	11:02pm Austin Rich: "The Universe Ultimately Makes Sense." ? Uhm...
	11:05pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @11:02 About as much sense as 42.
	11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @11:05 That's what is so brilliant about Adams: he really gets both science and absurdity.
	11:06pm Heather: Fantastic show, as always! Super enjoyed tuning in, also as always. Thanks, Austin and hope everyone has a great day or night depending on your timezone! !
	11:07pm Austin Rich: "For the moment, every one of us is frozen in the present." Ain't it the truth.
	11:09pm Kat in the chat: Thanks, Austin!
	11:11pm ramencity: bon soir, amies de radio!
	11:12pm Austin Rich: "We're gonna live forever... today."
	11:14pm Mr. X: Let's hear it for youthful indiscretions! Great show, Austin, thanks!
	11:15pm Austin Rich: Token Beavis & Butthead reference, since it was the 90's.
	11:15pm laurapanic: thanks!
	11:16pm Austin Rich: Now everyone knows my dirty secret youthful tendencies.
	11:17pm Austin Rich: So, I would do this kind of beat boxin', to fill the end of tapes. Because I was that guy...
	11:18pm laurapanic: lol Austin!!

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from August 27, 2024

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.

Listener comments!
	7:48pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:56pm Imaginos: Ahoy, me hearties!
	9:00pm Krys O.: Hello again!
	9:00pm postconsumer: No one's gonna say anything about that intro? COMEON
	9:01pm Imaginos: ↳ Krys O. @9:00 Ahoy, Krys O
	9:01pm postconsumer: that was super (Sheena's jungle room intro). did you mix it, Austin?
	9:01pm univac: Hello, all!
	9:01pm Austin Rich: Nice to see you, Imaginos, Krys O, and postconsumer! Now... are you ready for more, old tapes? And univac, too! Hooray!
	9:01pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @9:01 That was me, Jon. I made that.
	9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:01 That was Krys!
	9:02pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:01 Old tapes with solid music
	9:02pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @9:01 Is there a page with bumpers like that? It was awesome. Is that what they're called? Bumpers? Or Whips?
	9:03pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @9:02 Before I even started doing a show on Sheena's, I made IDs. I'll send them to you.
	9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:02 I call them bumpers. Maybe there's a more legit name?
	9:04pm univac: Loving this so far, Austin!
	9:04pm Imaginos: ↳ Song: "The Cantina Song" by "Ash" I remember WLVI TV used to use the Cantina band song for their station id
	9:05pm Austin Rich: These are cuts from real tapes I made in the 90's.
	9:05pm ramencity: Hello Magnetic-Dust ear-surfers!
	9:05pm Krys O.: I saw a bit of Force 10 from Navarone the other night and didn't remember that Harrison Ford is in that.
	9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:05 Ramen City Kid! Hooray!
	9:05pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @9:03 thanks!
	9:06pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:05 I spent so much time holding onto the 80s that I missed the 90s.
	9:06pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @9:06 You didn't miss much
	9:07pm postconsumer: I always say that, because of my memories of pop music, then, but the truth is there was a lot of great stuff going on, elsewhere
	9:08pm postconsumer: mix tape energy
	9:09pm laurapanic: I am deffo here for mixed tape joy joys
	9:11pm postconsumer: appreciate your talking openly about that. people change!
	9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:11 I hope we do! If I was exactly as I was then, I would probably be insufferable, for everyeone. (Myself included.)
	9:13pm univac: I'm glad you're here now as you are, Austin.
	9:13pm postconsumer: This sounds an awful lot like the MST3K theme
	9:13pm Kat in the chat: Old tapes, you say?
	9:13pm postconsumer: oh, wait...
	9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "MST3K Love Theme (Live)" by "Man... or Astro-Man?" I still watch MST3K now... and it seemed like the most magical discovery then. This show is never far from my mind. Same could be said for Man... Or Astro-Man?
	9:13pm Karly: Hey brother :)
	9:14pm univac: I love MST3K and MOAM.
	9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Karly @9:13 It's my sister, who gifted me these tapes! Hey Karly, how's it going?
	9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Party In Cherynobl" by "Conkrit" This was a local Eugene punk band, that my band, Cathead, played with many times.
	9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:14 Over the years, I've seen MOAM 20 times, reunion tours included. They put on the best shows, and they used to tour CONSTANTLY back in the day.
	9:16pm Karly: ↳ Austin Rich @9:14 I suddenly feel like I'm 16 again ;)
	9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:13 Kat in the Chat! You snuck in there, I almost didn't see you!
	9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Karly @9:16 I thought you still were?
	9:16pm Kat in the chat: I'm too exhausted from my job to make a grand entrance, haha
	9:17pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Party In Cherynobl" by "Conkrit" I don't think any of them were old enough to remember Chernobyl either
	9:17pm Austin Rich: Lord Sinkhole!
	9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:16 I feel like many people have been showing their love for Nancy lately. I do love your avatar!
	9:18pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" by "Nancy Sinatra" Operation Ivy cover?! I'll get me coat...
	9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:18 I listened to a LOT of Op Ivy in those days. (I think it was required.) The real crime was going to a Readymen, show, and then only talking about Op Ivy around them...
	9:19pm Karly: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 LOL, never again! I'll keep the music and pass on the angst.
	9:19pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @9:18 Wendy del Formaggio on the Drummer stream gifted me that one. Nancy has indeed been popular round these parts recently.
	9:19pm univac: Hi Karly! I think your brother is just the best.
	9:22pm Austin Rich: Most of this set is stuff I recorded off of KWVA, which was my bread and butter in the days I made these tapes. It was the station that I eventually started DJing at, but these mix tapes are from stuff I would record at home before I ever was a REAL DJ, just in my mind...
	9:22pm Karly: ↳ univac @9:19 Yeah he's pretty rad. Austin started giving me mixed tapes when I was 14 and he was 19. It was a huge influence on my early taste in music. :)
	9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Karly @9:22 Karly has been on the show a few times, over the years. If there's a show with a lot of songs from musicals in it, Karly was possibly the guest.
	9:24pm postconsumer: ↳ Karly @9:22 you're only the second person I've seen who calls them Mixed Tapes. 😎
	9:25pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "??" by "Got Is My Co-Pilot?" makes me wanna pull out the LP I have. They are weird.
	9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:25 I'm only guessing that it's them. I really don't know what this song is... but I have come to love it over the years.
	9:26pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Snack Cracker" by "Southern Culture On The Skids" Yesss I love SCOTS
	9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Snack Cracker" by "Southern Culture On The Skids" For many years, I only knew this song as "Snack Cracker." I finally discovered the band when I met my friend Cheryl, who was a huge fan, and hipped me to what this even was.
	9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:26 This song might have a lot to do with the stupid way I dance in public...
	9:28pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 ooooooooooooh mystery. Love it
	9:28pm Imaginos: ↳ Song: "Snack Cracker" by "Southern Culture On The Skids" Love Captain's wafers.
	9:28pm Karly: ↳ postconsumer @9:24 Good point, I probably called them Mix-tapes just as often back then. :)
	9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:28 Right?
	9:28pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 Stupid is the best way to dance to this! I love that the lyrics shout out Lance crackers. "Don't go 'round hungry!"
	9:28pm Austin Rich: "Little Debbie, Little Debbie. I"m comin' home!"
	9:28pm ramencity: I'm gonna start calling 'em mash tapes
	9:29pm Karly: ↳ ramencity @9:28 Hey ramencity!!! Long time no see <3
	9:29pm ramencity: ↳ Karly @9:29 Hiya! Yeah too long!
	9:30pm Austin Rich: "ALL THE KIDS WANT SOMETHIN' TO DO."
	9:30pm univac: ↳ Karly @9:22 Awesome! If this is what they were, you were a very lucky sibling!
	9:30pm Austin Rich: "That drug awareness..."
	9:31pm Karly: ↳ univac @9:30 Oh man you don't even know :)
	9:32pm Imaginos: Always
	9:32pm Karly: Wow, a shoutout! I'm famous! :)
	9:36pm Karly: I can attest to the reused tapes. Austin once made me a copy of Hole's "Live through this" (plus some extra songs) when I was 14 and it was on a repurposed book on tape. I think I still have that thing somewhere...
	9:37pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Karly @9:36 Haha!
	9:38pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Mexican Caravan" by "The Butthole Surfers" CUE MEGA GRINS FROM ME
	9:39pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Mexican Caravan" by "The Butthole Surfers" UGH guitar mastery
	9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Mexican Caravan" by "The Butthole Surfers" One of the first concerts that I went to on my own was a Butthole Surfers show. I was so naive, had no idea what I was in for. They had crazy cage dancers, Gibby was naked, and they had dental films projected on them. It was life changing.
	9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:39 Yeah, I love that solo!
	9:40pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 jesus christ yes. I saw them once in the early 90s in a youth hall. it was great.
	9:41pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 no one is 'right' until they have listened to Butthole Surfers.
	9:41pm Karly: ↳ Karly @9:36 Austin. I found the tape and it was on a "Bible Study Tape"!!! I just texted you a picture, can you post that somewhere?? LOL
	9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Karly @9:41 Working on it...
	9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "It's a Beautiful Day" by "??" I don't think I know who this band is. Anyone know?
	9:42pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 No clue!
	9:43pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 Let's make a pact to never find out.
	9:44pm postconsumer: ↳ Karly @9:28 sounds like a cross between Cher and Elvis
	9:44pm Kat in the chat: What an excellent repurposing of a Bible Study Tape!
	9:44pm Austin Rich: I posted an image at the end of the playlist, of the "Live Through This" tape I made for Karly. As you can see, it's on a Bible Study Tape. There's a story about that...
	9:45pm Heather: Absolutely loving the show tonight! The struggle about blank tapes really resonates with me! One Xmas, maybe 1993, I gave a kind of BF a stack of 4 new tapes I'd made mixes and copies on, so practically gold, right? He was so disappointed. Guess he thought I should have bought him a Rolex or a Cadillac.
	9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Seasons in the Sun" by "??" Again, not really sure who this is. Any help?
	9:45pm Karly: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 Thanks bro!!
	9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:45 Yeah, if the new beau doesn't like mix tapes, that's a sign: dump him.
	9:46pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 i'm going with: heavily-drugged religious cult
	9:46pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @9:46 We did not even get past the kind of stage!
	9:47pm Austin Rich: "Do The Hustle!"
	9:47pm Krys O.: Good night, all!
	9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:47 Sleep well, Krys!
	9:47pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Krys O. @9:47 Goodnight Krys!
	9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Warner Bros. Edit (Hit It 2)" Discovering those Carl Stalling albums in the 90's also blew my mind in ways I'm still recovering from.
	9:49pm univac: I love the repurposed Bible Study Tape! I used decent tapes for mixtapes for friends, but for my own usage, samples, etc, I always used found tapes, lots of motivational and religious ones because they were fukkin everywhere.
	9:49pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Bad in Bed (Vanilla Ice Version)" by "White Trash... This one is White Trash Debutantes
	9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:49 Oh! That does ring a bell! Thanks!
	9:51pm Austin Rich: "The Dan Quayle of Rock 'n' Roll." Wow, what a wonderfully dated reference.
	9:51pm Mr. X: ...stumbles in
	9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:51 Mr. X: I'm so glad you made it! There's some mysteries in tonight's playlist...
	9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Ed" by "King Missile" At one point in my life, I used to have the lyrics to this memorized, and could just recite it off the dome. Some lines are still there, but most of it is gone, now...
	9:53pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Ed" by "King Missile" We played this song several times on Brain Spackle.
	9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:53 We still need to do our tribute to Brain Spackle...
	9:55pm Karly: ↳ univac @9:49 I mean... seems really resourceful to me! :) The only downside to Austin's cheap tapes were that they would fall apart pretty fast... I remember I had two very treasured tapes from Austin that became unplayable because I listened to them to death... Luckily, I saved the liner notes and he was able to re-create them years later (digitally) so at least I had the songs again, if not the tape :)
	9:55pm Austin Rich: I think about this part of the song when I'm watching some art documentary...
	9:55pm Karly: ↳ Austin Rich @9:51 That was one of my favorite parts of the tape back then! :P
	9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Karly @9:55 Oh, I remember doing that for you!
	9:56pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:54 It's going to take me about a year to get that together. I have to earmark everything first, so I can find what I need from it.
	9:56pm Karly: ↳ Song: a song You had to be there I guess...
	9:56pm Imaginos: Sending you a tidbit, Austin
	9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:56 Oooo, thank you!
	9:57pm Austin Rich: "Pontificate pointlessly..." I have adopted that as something I write FAR too often.
	9:57pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:56 You're welcome
	9:57pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 That's a lot of words!
	9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Jet Boy, Jet Girl" by "The Damned" I had an ex who became obsessed with this song, and she wanted to hear it almost constantly for a while. I've heard it so much, it's part of my DNA now.
	9:59pm univac: Thanks Austin through this great mixtape journey! I gotta run. Until next time!
	9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:59 See ya soon!
	9:59pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Do The Hustle" by "??" I came in too late to hear this, but the hit version was by Van McCoy.
	10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:59 This is a cover.
	10:00pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Seasons in the Sun" by "??" Hit version by Terry Jacks.
	10:02pm Karly: Talk Hard!!!
	10:07pm Imaginos: Awww
	10:08pm Karly: The pleasure was all mine bro, love you!
	10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Punk As Fuck" by "Piglet" The members of my old band, Cathead, worshiped Piglet, and often tried to sound like them. This Piglet tape - with the religious riff at the top - got a LOT of play, among the Cathead Kids.
	10:12pm Austin Rich: Chorus: "I tired real hard to be a jock, I got rejected, now I'm punk rock!"
	10:14pm Imaginos: Speaking of pigs, you remember Green Jelly?
	10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Myth (In The Sky)" by "Resist" As a young man, trying to learn how to play bass, I would try to play along with this song. Never got very good at bass, but have fond memories of listening to Resist records with the gang.
	10:16pm Heather: ↳ Imaginos @10:14 Oh we used to scream that one song in the basement at a friend's where her brother actually had a real Green Jelly show flier taped up!
	10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Carnival" by "Bikini Kill" When Bikini Kill played at the Skating Rink in Springfield, OR, we all went. The Thrones opened. We basically got to hang out with and meet everyone, because the skating rink wasn't that big. We even gave Bikini Kill a Cathead tape. Now, it's over $100 to see them.
	10:18pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Carnival" by "Bikini Kill" meet me at Lakefair!
	10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Wooden Song" by "The Butthole Surfers" I used to sing this one all the time, when I was stressed out at my fast food job, and was trying to forget where I was.
	10:19pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy. And if I know my kitty she's going to wake me at 4
	10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:19 Sleep well! Thanks for coming out tonight.
	10:20pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:19 Had fun as always
	10:20pm Mr. X: ↳ Imaginos @10:14 All I know about them is that they wanted to be called Green Jell-o, until Jell-o threatened to sue them, so they changed it to Jelly, but still pronounced it as Jell-o.
	10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:20 For a while, not too many years ago, the act was just one gent, who would do a stripped down version, by himself, on stage. They played here in the Mid-Valley just before the Pandemic.
	10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""My Hovercraft Is Full of Eels."" There isn't a day I don't think about some random Monty Python routine. I've seen them all too many times, they're just a part of my vocabulary.
	10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Pardon My French / Descension" by "Unwound" Fingers crossed, I will strap on a mask in October and go see Unwound play again, with Steel Pole Bathtub!
	10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Apollo Charter Tours"" Bill Nye Samples were a staple of my mix tapes back in the day.
	10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Michelle's Farm" by "The Beastie Boys" I was borderline obsessed with The Beastie Boys in those days, and always managed to fit them into just about all my tapes.
	10:30pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: ""Apollo Charter Tours"" Just don't take the Boeing flight...
	10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:30 Zing.
	10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Monty Python / Moon Cycle Edit" Someday I will do a cover of this Bill Nye / Moon Cycle song.
	10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Yeah Yeah Yeah" by "Deadbolt" Like everyone in the Mid-Valley, I saw Deadbolt once. They were great!
	10:40pm Austin Rich: wfmu.org...
	10:41pm Austin Rich: www.wfmu.org...
	10:42pm Heather: Uncle Austin!! Fantastic! I'll try to be up in time to tune in!
	10:46pm laurapanic: I'll be asleep then but will look up the archive.
	10:49pm Austin Rich: It'll be a nice excuse to wear those Hawaiian Shirts I have. Maybe Uncle Austin will become a regular character?
	10:49pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Viva Las Vegas" by "Dead Kennedys" this is delightful.....from Virus 100? A classic comp
	10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Viva Las Vegas" by "Dead Kennedys" When I ran Karaoke in PDX, I would regularly put in to sing the original version of this song, but I would sing the DK lyrics. I think it's from that comp... I probably got this from a Colin Mix tape. But yeah, those Virus records were ESSENTIAL.
	10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Someone Ate the Baby" by "Shel Silverstein" My old Mix Tapes often had bits I recorded off of Dr. Demento's show, too.
	10:52pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 I'm excited to hear the Uncle Austin character!! And definitely yes to Hawaiian shirts. It's a great look for anyone.
	10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Communication Breakdown" by "The Dickies" Truth be told, this Dickies album - Stukas Over Disneyland - was one of my TOP 10 albums as a youth. I listened to it until I broke the tape, bought a new tape, and wore that one out. I now have the LP, but damn... I listened to The Dickies every day, for many years...
	10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @10:52 Hopefully it will live up to the hype.
	10:54pm Austin Rich: Vintage channel flipping...
	10:54pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 I'm entirely confident you'll nail this!
	10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Maggot Brain" by "Mike Watt" When this first solo album came out by Mike Watt, it totally blew my mind. I listened to it a lot, saw him a few times when he came to the Mid-Valley. It was part of my punk education, to have this guy who I loved introducing me to other kinds of music that wasn't really punk. It's funny to think how often he's been an influence on me.
	10:58pm Mr. X: That's the voice of Sean Carroll discussing the arrow of time, I was just telling you about him.
	10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:58 I might have listened...
	11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Maggot Brain" by "Mike Watt" Mr. Watt is going on tour in the Fall, in a Free-Improv/Punk band, with one of the gents from Saccharine Trust. It should be a fun show, and he's playing near enough to me that I could see him a couple times. I might strap on a mask for this next tour.
	11:01pm Austin Rich: "The same events happen over and over." Like when you listen to old mix tapes...
	11:02pm Austin Rich: "The Universe Ultimately Makes Sense." ? Uhm...
	11:05pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @11:02 About as much sense as 42.
	11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @11:05 That's what is so brilliant about Adams: he really gets both science and absurdity.
	11:06pm Heather: Fantastic show, as always! Super enjoyed tuning in, also as always. Thanks, Austin and hope everyone has a great day or night depending on your timezone! !
	11:07pm Austin Rich: "For the moment, every one of us is frozen in the present." Ain't it the truth.
	11:09pm Kat in the chat: Thanks, Austin!
	11:11pm ramencity: bon soir, amies de radio!
	11:12pm Austin Rich: "We're gonna live forever... today."
	11:14pm Mr. X: Let's hear it for youthful indiscretions! Great show, Austin, thanks!
	11:15pm Austin Rich: Token Beavis & Butthead reference, since it was the 90's.
	11:15pm laurapanic: thanks!
