WFMU: Music Only I Care About with Miss Mei: Playlist from September 3, 2024

Listener comments!
	12:12pm WR: A time to relax is good.
	12:27pm Carist: ↳ Song: "Aquamarine" by "Robert Slap" This sounds like a song from one of those CD sample kiosks from the 90's
	12:48pm Mr Fab: Easing me into my work week...
	12:50pm Miss Mei: Today's show was going to be a collection of synth gems from the Canadian production music company Parry Music Library, but so much had been going on that I was only able to get half the playlist done...That show will be next week.
	12:54pm Miss Mei: Dealing with death in the family, death of a friend and my ongoing health problems has been making it hard to be as thorough as I'd like for episodes on certain weeks.. My favourite shows to do are ones where it's a collection of tracks that may not be related at all, since I am always listening to eclectic mixes when out and about. My second favourite shows to do are themed ones, such as next week's episode. My least favourite? Shows where I play tapes in long-form like I am today, but I have plenty of good long tapes I can broadcast, I just feel like it's a bit of a cop out. But I have to play by ear with my dumb illness. At least everyone else seems to enjoy these ambient tape episodes!
	1:38pm common: looking forward to it.
	1:44pm Miss Mei: i am having trouble with my interent. Can someone confirm I am still broadcasting?
	1:52pm common: ↳ Miss Mei @1:44 you are
	2:00pm WR: ↳ Miss Mei @12:54 My order of preferences shadow your order of preferences but also the variety approaches good. Also, streaming is good now and I didn't notice any interruptions (though I was away from my computer for a few minutes).
	2:01pm David The Splatter: ↳ Miss Mei @12:54 I'm sorry to hear about everything you're going through. If it makes you feel any better, you're coming in loud and clear right now and the show with the 2-hour long K-Mart tape was really good.
	2:01pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @12:54 I know it seems like lazy programming, but I actually am finding this pretty nice right now, I appreciate it. Been having a hectic time lately: Just came back from picking up daughter from school because she had broken out in hives!? I mean, wtf. So proceed with the getting kinda mellow and trippy and so forth.
	2:07pm Miss Mei: ↳ David The Splatter @2:01 I guess it's a good thing I have so many great, longer recordings on hand. The muzak and the ambient tapes are my favourites to play in long form like this.
	2:09pm Brian K from Whippany via Charlottesville via Asb: Enjoying your ambient vibes on the interstate, Miss Mei. I’m sorry for your loss and illness.
	2:10pm Brian K from Whippany via Charlottesville via Asb: Question to the chat: How can I reply to a specific post?
	2:11pm Miss Mei: ↳ Brian K from Whippany via Charlottesville via Asb @2:10 There is a word bubble icon next to messages you can click on to do that with!
	2:11pm Mr Fab: ↳ Brian K from Whippany via Charlottesville via Asb @2:10 -go to the post you want to respond to -click on the little icon in the upper right that looks like a cartoon speech balloon.
	2:13pm Herbie: Hello fellow relaxers
	2:13pm WR: ↳ Brian K from Whippany via Charlottesville via Asb @2:10 To do the reply thing (as described by Mr Fab) you have to be in a browser, don't think any of the apps integrate that function.
	2:13pm Brian K from Whippany via Charlottesville via Asb: Thank you, Miss M. I do not see it on my version of the FMU app but that’s ok. Time to get back into the car. Be well.
	2:16pm Miss Mei: ↳ Brian K from Whippany via Charlottesville via Asb @2:13 Maybe it does not appear on mobile?
	2:16pm Brian K from Whippany via Charlottesville via Asb: Ahhh Thank you, Mr. Fab and WR. That makes sense. I always listen via my iPhone. Thanks for that.
	2:17pm Miss Mei: I am so excited for next week's show. fans of library music and 80s synth stuff will be in paradise! I have over a Dozen LPs from Parry Music I am going through. Prior to a week ago, I had never dug into this music library, and I greatly regret not subjecting myself to its lovely stuff sooner.
	2:18pm Miss Mei: The format will be this: 8 tracks per LP, as none of them are very long. Each segment starts and ends with a track that is less than a minute, with longer ones in the middle. They should flow together pretty well!
	2:19pm WR: ↳ Brian K from Whippany via Charlottesville via Asb @2:16 on my android phone I listen with the app but do the playlist via a browser.
	2:24pm WR: ↳ Miss Mei @2:18 Look forward to it. Not familiar with Parry Music library.
	2:29pm Otis Fodder: Off calls and back to the desk with work. Hi Mei and all. Canada represent. Don't know much of the 80s Parry. Late 70s had some real players like Hawksworth jumping in.
	2:30pm Otis Fodder: This is soothing, counter to client requests that are brooding.
	2:31pm Miss Mei: ↳ Otis Fodder @2:29 I downloaded a few late 70s PML lyrics but I am specifically playing stuff recorded post-1980 for that special synthy sound I am looking for, and boy did I find loads! Great stuff for sampling too.
	2:32pm Miss Mei: Library music was my first foray into archiving music a little over a decade ago when I was around 14-15.
	2:32pm Otis Fodder: ↳ Miss Mei @2:31 I see the 80s stuff in the bins from time to time. First got into the label before moving to Canada as Luke Vibert comped some back on his Nugget releases in the early 00s
	2:33pm Otis Fodder: ↳ Miss Mei @2:32 That's awesome!
	2:34pm Miss Mei: Funny to think that I started archiving music not for the sake of preservation, but so I could have more music to listen to!
	2:34pm WR: ↳ Miss Mei @2:31 When I did a quick search I found that although Parry stopped production in 2013 that their catalogue was purchased and is still being marketed.
	2:35pm Otis Fodder: ↳ Miss Mei @2:34 ... and to share with others, oh yesssss.
	2:35pm David The Splatter: ↳ Miss Mei @2:31 Looking forward to hearing these next week. Sounds like fun.
	2:35pm Otis Fodder: ↳ Otis Fodder @2:35 Like this, I'm getting an intro to 80s Parry today, yay.
	2:36pm Otis Fodder: ↳ David The Splatter @2:35 Me too and Hi David + hi again WR!
	2:37pm Miss Mei: The Parry show is far from finished- I have an hour and 21 minutes worth of music on the playlist spanning a 5 volume series of LPs, the "Video-Tech" anthology. I will be going through more through out the week. If a track really moves me it'll go in the playlist.
	2:38pm Otis Fodder: Speaking of this vibe, was just listening yesterday to the Numero comp, Valley of the Sun that you contributed/were thanked on Mei. Fantastic release.
	2:39pm Miss Mei: ↳ Otis Fodder @2:38 This is news to me! I had no idea I was thanked.
	2:40pm Miss Mei: I haven't corresponded with anyone involved in Numero Group before, though I am aware of the great re-releases they do.
	2:41pm Otis Fodder: Yes, have the Vinyl version here and you are thanked in the gatefold with others under "Photographs courtesy of" as Mei Clover. Love it!!
	2:42pm Miss Mei: ↳ Otis Fodder @2:41 That's WILD! I had no idea about this wow!
	2:43pm Otis Fodder: ↳ Miss Mei @2:40 Wow, they may have grabbed something from your research. I thought you knew, well, so happy to share this, sending some good vibes your way like this music now.
	2:44pm David The Splatter: ↳ Otis Fodder @2:36 Howdy, Otis. Heya, WR!
	2:45pm Miss Mei: ↳ Otis Fodder @2:43 I had no idea! I did run a blog starting when I was 17 where me and another person archived various Valley Of The Sun tapes online for the first time, so maybe they got them from there.
	2:46pm Herbie: ↳ Otis Fodder @2:41 That's rad - congrats!
	2:46pm Miss Mei: Teenage me would faint hearing this news! Wow!
	2:47pm WR: ↳ Song: "Emerald Green" by "Robert Slap" That shifted from relaxing background to dynamic foreground listening. In part because of this Robert Slap recording but mostly because up until a few minutes ago a big road maintenance crew was working on resurfacing the street just outside my home office window. Grinder/vacuum dump truck. Asphalt laying machine with the operator playing his own music loud enough to be heard over the machinery. Huge roller tractors pressing the asphalt. Power tar painter filling the edges between the new asphalt and the curbs and well. Y'all get the idea. Anyway, they are finished and gone for the day and I realize how loud I had Sheena stream cranked in order to hear it over their noise...
	2:49pm Otis Fodder: ↳ Miss Mei @2:45 That could be it. Love Numero so when I saw your name in the credits I was like OMG I know Mei! Ha!
	2:49pm Otis Fodder: ↳ WR @2:47 Ambient music over dump truck. Merzbow collab with Eno in the making!
	2:50pm Miss Mei: ↳ Otis Fodder @2:49 Can you take a photo of the back so I can show it to my parents and siblings? The'll get a kick out of it ! I worked tirelessly for years purchasing and preserving Valley of the sun Publishing/Great American Audio Corp material!
	2:51pm Miss Mei: I even corresponded over E-Mail with David Storrs, Steven Cooper and David Naegele, who were all involved with the label.
	2:52pm WR: ↳ Otis Fodder @2:49 and just as I finished my mini rant, the track changed to Peaceful Haven. I think I am ready for a lunch nap.
	2:54pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @2:52 I ate and had an energy drink but the music's got me sleepy all over again! Hoping to record a song after my show if my voice lets me.
	2:55pm Otis Fodder: ↳ Miss Mei @2:51 Just sent you a photo on slack of the credits. You are under "Special Thanks to" not photographs like I previously mentioned.
	2:56pm Miss Mei: ↳ Otis Fodder @2:55 I am in disbelief, this is so awesome. 17 year old me would be bouncing off the walls. 29 year old me is too sleepy to do that haha
	2:56pm WR: ↳ Miss Mei @2:50 It's nice that they credited you. Even though no payment involved, it's not something where big bucks are at stake, nice to get some recognition for the work you did.
	2:57pm Otis Fodder: Thanks for the 'minimal moments with mei'. Nice to catch some of the sounds today. Bye all
	2:57pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @2:56 I don't do any of this for monetary gain. It would be nice since I am too sick to work, but it's about the music, the preservation and the love for me.
	2:58pm Miss Mei: Thanks for joining all! Stay tuned for great electronic stuff next week!!!
	2:58pm Otis Fodder: ↳ Miss Mei @2:57 I heart this too.
