	9:06pm coelacanth∅: there was a good song on the mothership so i was waiting...thought it was strange but it got cut off. i guess it was a mistake. anyway, i was destined to be either here or in Zoe's garden.

	9:13pm rw: Hello! A bit of dumb luck has landed me here.

	9:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @9:14 Good ear. I just stuck a bit of Radio Inferno in there.
	9:15pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:14 That Cuneiform sale is for the BC, if it's not clear...
	9:16pm Androu B.: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:15 Never heard of it! Link, please?
	9:16pm Robm: ↳ rw @9:13 RW better then bad luck
	9:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @9:16 www.ubu.com...
	9:19pm Androu B.: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:19 Danke!
	9:20pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @9:19 It's a fantastic piece. I am sure I have played significant chunks of it on my previous show.
	9:22pm coelacanth∅: hey rw!
	9:25pm Rich in Washington: gotta stop randomly sticking things in the mix. I'm missing cues. I'm cueless.
	9:25pm ironybread: never under any circumstances stop throwing random things in the mix
	9:26pm Manta: Hello all!
	🥁 9:26pm WR: Hi to y'all grasping onto this broken radio thing. Schlepping by to bring this to your attention: a GoFundMe to help out our WFMU playlist pal northguineahills through a tough time. Some of you may have already read about it and helped out. Some not, here it is. No pressure on anyone. It's hard all over -- crapitalism takes no prisoners, that's for sure. But if you have a little that you can spare to help out a WFMU friend, I thought I'd pass along the opportunity: www.gofundme.com...
	9:28pm Rich in Washington: Phil Minton is also incredible on Radio Inferno
	9:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @9:26 Thank you for sharing that. Yes, our friend NorthGuineaHills could use our help.
	9:33pm Robm: ↳ WR @9:26 NGH is one of the list good guys and will share what i can, WR did you put this in any other shows?
	9:34pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @9:26 i seem to be incidentally following you where you've been posting this, this is the second time it's happened today. Uberdankes, WR!
	9:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Slider [etc.]" by "The Future Sound Of London" ISDN was actually recorded using ISDN in 93-94.
	9:36pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:34 NGH what was the other show?
	9:36pm ironybread: ↳ northguineahills @9:34 Yay!
	9:36pm ultradamno: Don't know if you have anything Watergate related, but Daniel Ellsberg has died.
	9:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:33 mercibeaucoup!
	9:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:36 Bryce!
	9:37pm Rich in Washington: hey NGH! Speak o' the devil!
	9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:36 God. I do. Lemme go see if I can dig something up.
	9:37pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:36 Thanks and you need to get the hell out of Florida
	9:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Bill Laswell: Oscillations (Vedic's live pop remi... Spooky handed this disc (in a paper sleeve) to me when I saw him 2004. (the only time I met him in the wild).
	9:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:37 maybe later when I play something long enough where I can get away from this infernal radio machine.
	🥁 9:39pm WR: ↳ Robm @9:33 I posted in Bryce's program. Handy Haversack has posted it around too. Trying not to be too spammy but would like to see us be able to help NGH over the hump.
	🥁 9:40pm Zipperhead7: Hi Rich and (I keep wanting to write Diggers)
	9:41pm Robm: ↳ WR @9:39 Email ken about it, i am sure he will be understanding
	9:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:41 Irene took care of that, thanks!
	9:43pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 Okay just spitballing some ideas
	9:44pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 And your welcome
	🥁 9:45pm Zipperhead7: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 Glad to see the fund is up and running, NGH!
	9:47pm Rich in Washington: Hi Zipperhead!
	9:48pm Feldy: Hey Rich!
	9:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Feldy @9:48 Feldy! Glad you made it!
	9:52pm Rich in Washington: Glad everyone's here! Hope everyone's having a great Friday/Saturday (depending on your time zone).
	9:53pm Robm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:52 Yes i am listening to all this great strangess
	9:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:45 yeah, handy and Irene really needed to give a few big kicks to make me realize it's what I really needed to do it. now, I don't have to sweat the small things or worry about my copays/etc.
	9:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:43 keep spitting!
	9:54pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @9:53 err, give me a few big kicks...
	9:55pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:54 I will see what i can do Seriously you need to get the fuck out of Florida
	🥁 9:56pm Kat in the chat: Oh I forgot to say hi. Hi!
	9:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:56 Hi Kat! Howdy!
	9:58pm Robm: Hey kat
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: hey ngh if you want to come back up north you can rent my other bedroom for $650/month -includes everything. ...and maybe i wont get evicted. you're pretty definitely a lot more hireable than i am -and i found work... but i know you'd rather be in the city. anyway, an option, if only temporary.
	10:09pm wendy del formaggio: Rich! I have been out the last few Friday nights, but my dinner guests just left so here I am, winding down and listening to the radio and the rain outside. It’s perfect! I love your show; been catching it on the archives.
	10:10pm Rich in Washington: ↳ wendy del formaggio @10:09 Yay! Thanks, Wendy! Love your shows! Can't wait to hear you again next week!
	🥁 10:11pm Kat in the chat: Wendy's rendition of the Hinky Dinky theme today was priceless
	10:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:11 Oh I know! I hope Uncle Michael uses it again!
	10:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:55 just getting to a cafe for a few hours once a week is a good reset for my mental health. I rarely get outside and talk people outside of the shelter. (there is nothing any either direction but skid row or (soon to be developed) wilderness for a good 5km in any direction. no stores, no cafes, no anything... downtown isn't too bad, but it's full of tourists and dumb young people. (as opposed to the darkwave cafe i've been frequenting...)
	10:12pm wendy del formaggio: NGH, like what coel said, I know you want to be in NYC, but I have an extra room in my house, too, if you feel like being a Vermonter. I don’t charge much because fuck c(r)apitalism. We’d have to chat about this n that before it’s official, but it’s another possibility for you.
	10:15pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @10:12 Understandable glad your keeping your sanity and do what you got to do
	🥁 10:15pm WR: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:11 I third the approbation for the Wendy Dinky Time Intro. Need to listen to it again from the archive.
	10:15pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:03 that sounds perfect. I just want to get my foot in the employment door, and if i get remote employment, then i can move anywhere. (plus, compensation isn't too bad for what i'm good at, it's just i haven't worked since i was first hospitalized, so, i keep on getting, "why do you have this hole in your resume?" during interviews, and i explain.., but to no avail..
	10:16pm northguineahills: i live rent free, right now, but, living anywhere else would do wonders for my mental health...
	10:17pm wendy del formaggio: Aww shucks, thanks Kat and Rich. 😊 I had fun today. I was really nervous about my Uncle Michael intro. Definitely pushed up against my comfort zone. But I’m glad I was brave! It paid off.
	10:17pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @10:15 Thats a fucking shame when you try to explain it to them
	10:17pm northguineahills: ↳ wendy del formaggio @10:12 i'll keep that in mind. the only problem is that i'm rather talented in the culinary arts...
	10:18pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @10:17 Oh boy wendy will love that:)
	10:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ wendy del formaggio @10:17 It was fantastic!
	10:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @10:18 i can't cook in my current room, which is rather depressing (i'm used to having the kithen being my domain, and i enjoy cleaning it too)
	10:20pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @10:19 They are afraid it might cause a fire?
	10:21pm wendy del formaggio: NGH, I’ve spent time being unemployed due to illness. My solution when asked by potential employers to explain the gap (and I put this in my resume): I was a consultant / freelancing. I’m not sure if it matches your ethics, but it’s an idea to consider.
	10:23pm Robm: Ok fellow listeners going to bed, chat was enjoyable as always @NGH hang in there amigo
	10:24pm wendy del formaggio: NGH, you love cooking, are good at it, and you love cleaning the kitchen?!? We definitely need to talk. 😊
	10:24pm northguineahills: ↳ wendy del formaggio @10:21 I did exactly that (like, when caring for my ailing mother), I have myself volunteering doing IT/relation database management systems at mission right now. I have friends set me up doing fulltime freelance if asked when all I did is consult on a handful of questions...
	10:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @10:20 most of the people that end up living here full time (i'm the only person not on staff w/ their own room, others only live here for 6 months if they aren't in the rehab program) are former crack, fentanyl, etc addicts, and lack many life skills. so, there are no kitchenettes. I'm not supposed to have a fridge or microwave, but the director looks the other way.
	🥁 10:27pm Zipperhead7: Quasi did some really interesting blues stuff -- a cover of "Drunken Spree," for one
	10:29pm wendy del formaggio: Rich! I was just listening to my copy of Gil Scott Heron’s “Winter in America” yesterday and there’s a song on it called “H2OGate Blues”! Dunno if that’s your thing, but it’s an option.
	🥁 10:30pm Zipperhead7: The JBs did a Watergate song: www.youtube.com...
	10:30pm northguineahills: speaking of which, i'm supposed to go back and finish tutoring this one guy that's paying me. I came back to finish my laundry and take a break. (I actually like tutoring algebra and earth sciences, writing, i'm not sure how to teach an adult how to write essays (i've never thought about it)).
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @10:16 yeah sometimes you have to get some crappy job for a few months just so they see you're diligent, and able. ...and yeah no capitalism here! just 1/2 of what i need to make it. ... if you want to look at my craigslist ad email in private. i have it available on the 20th but i haven't interviewed anyone for it yet. so many scams... the kitchen's decent. i like to cook too.
	10:31pm northguineahills: don't forget UM's Honeydrippers' "Impeach the President". www.youtube.com...
	🥁 10:31pm WR: ↳ Song: "Watergate Blues" by "Tom T. Hall" I forgot or missed that Tom T Hall did this. Or maybe it was banned in South Texas...
	🥁 10:33pm Zipperhead7: When the echo kicked in, I wondered if MK-Ultra had dosed ol' Tom T?!
	10:33pm northguineahills: I'm in a holding pattern for 6 jobs i've zoom interviewed for, been rejected for 5 others, and I send applications out every day. it's a numbers game. Most jobs in my past from sending out the application to actually starting has taken me 3-7 months...
	10:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:31 Oh yeah. I could dig up quite a few Nixon tracks. Maybe on a deathaversary?
	10:35pm ultradamno: Hall did die of suicide, not an uncommon MK-ultra outcome
	10:36pm wendy del formaggio: NGH, I went through patches of that in my life. When I got sick in 2019 and was outta work, I applied for ~30 jobs before finally cobbling together an income from 3 part-time jobs. It was terrifying and frustrating. Fuck crapitalism.
	10:38pm ultradamno: Wonder if Ellsberg was well enough to see Hunt and Liddy portrayed as likable buffoons in White House Plumbers...
	10:38pm wendy del formaggio: MKUltra was some profoundly fucked up shit. I started reading books about it a few years ago. I learned of its existence via the “Mad Pride” movement.
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: and on these notes, i'm off to work. Thanks Rich! 'night y'all
	10:39pm pot8o: good night coel!
	10:40pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:39 night, coel! dream well in your scales!
	10:40pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:39 See ya, coel! Peace out!
	🥁 10:40pm Zipperhead7: Some Unabomber haikus. My favorite: "Open your present..." "No, you open your present..." Kaczinski Christmas archive.ronrecord.com...
	10:41pm ultradamno: Did Ted refuse modern health care technology in his last days?
	10:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:40 I wish I had more info on this release. It almost sounds like it was done on someone's late night radio show or something.
	10:43pm ultradamno: Also, Blackie from Urge Overkill died the other day...
	10:43pm northguineahills: alright, a tutoring I shall go.., thanks, rich and friends, feels great to commiserate w/ y'all!
	10:43pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @10:43 hadn't heard that...
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: So here's the total batshit part: I was looking for this CD to play 2 WEEKS AGO - before Ted died. I couldn't find it because my 'I don't know how to file this CD' CDs were still packed away from my move, but I found it and then Ted died! I shit you not!
	10:44pm ultradamno: ↳ northguineahills @10:43 Yep. www.msn.com...
	10:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:43 See you, NGH! Have a good tutoring!
	10:45pm wendy del formaggio: Rich, that is some Psychic DJ shit right there.
	🥁 10:47pm Kat in the chat: Urge Overkill were not my favorite Chicago humans (or band) but that Blackie news still bums me out
	🥁 10:47pm Zipperhead7: Didn't Exene go a little right-crazy?
	10:48pm Rich in Washington: This album is so batshit in its execution that I suspect the involvement of DJ Kitten Sparkles but I don't think so.
	10:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:47 Kinda. I think she's always been pretty wacky but people made her out to be trumpy, etc. but I don't think that's accurate. Not sure. I think she's anti-vax though, FWIW.
	🥁 10:49pm Kat in the chat: ↳ wendy del formaggio @10:45 Psychic DJ shit is real. Weirdest encounter I ever had with it was Mary Wing playing an obscure selection from the Mary Poppins soundtrack (the one where the kids sing about the kind of nanny they want) two days after it had entered my head for the first time in decades
	10:50pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:47 I'm not a huge fan either, I remember them early on as kind of Naked Raygun jr...I liked them when I saw them though.
	🥁 10:51pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @10:50 I still have a cassette of The Supersonic Storybook. I had a chat with Ed once outside the venue I worked at after one of their shows, he was pleasant enough and offered me a ride home, which I had the wisdom to decline
	10:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:49 One of my radio mentors used to call it The Radio Gods, where you accidentally play some random thing under pressure and it goes perfectly with what's already playing, etc. Just unexplainable miraculous radio happenings.
	🥁 10:52pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @10:50 Blackie and Nate would have been too cool to talk to the likes of me (I worked for the cool venue but had a day job rather than a bar job)
	🥁 10:55pm Zipperhead7: ↳ ultradamno @10:38 That show ticked me off. Woody Harrelson had his chin stuck out like the bow of an icebreaker. I gave up after twenty minutes.
	10:56pm Rich in Washington: I might haveta watch it. I've run out of series to watch. Just finished Succession.
	10:57pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:56 Be sure to skip The Idol....what a drag.
	🥁 10:59pm Kat in the chat: I like Exene better when she sings
	10:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:57 I don't even know what that is. I'm limited to stuff on Netflix, HBO Max, Prime
	10:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:59 Yeah, it's a bit of a hard slog but we're almost through it!
	11:00pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:59 New Sam Levinson thing starring Lily Depp on HBO...John Lurie's Painting With John is back for a new season though.
	11:02pm ultradamno: Started the new Black Mirror and wasn't too impressed with the Joan Is Awful ep, seems like they've done the AI in a virtual world gaining sentience story better before leaving only the meta celeb casting for appeal.
	11:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:00 Oh wow.
	11:03pm ultradamno: Lurie's show is recording here as we speak, actually
	11:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:02 I didn't know it was out yet. Loved the first couple of seasons. The last one was a bit unimpressive, even with the gimmicky episode.
	11:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:04 but I'm also due to go back and watch the first two seasons again.
	11:11pm northguineahills: ok, back. looks like i'll be busy sunday-sunday next week, but i'll be paid well to get this guy to pass three classes...
	11:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:11 Nice! What kind of tutoring do you do?
	11:13pm ultradamno: I did start and finish the new I Think You Should Leave pretty quickly, which I don't usually binge things. Finally got around to starting The Watcher and for all the world it seems like the exact thing The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window was making fun of...
	11:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Colony Collapse Disorder" by "Dave Philips" I've had this for a while but haven't gotten around to playing anything from it yet, like the Kaczynski album.
	11:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Colony Collapse Disorder" by "Dave Philips" sounds like matmos' quasi-objects album...
	11:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:13 I binged the ultra brief YT series You and Your Fucking Coffee and now I am a Henry Philips fan.
	11:15pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:13 so far, algebra, life sciences, earth sciences... community college grade stuff...
	11:16pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:14 DJ Martinibomb messaged me and told me I had to watch his movie Punching The Clown and it hooked me on his YT channel.
	11:16pm ultradamno: I have a love/hate thing with You, I watch it, but the v/o narration drives me nuts. I kind of like Devil In Ohio and Night Agent. I also started Fubar and...not sure I'll finish it.
	11:17pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:15 I just cued up something by Algebra Suicide but complete coincidence.
	11:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:17 counterbalanced by esplendor geometrico?
	11:19pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:16 You being very different than You and Your Fucking Coffee, I now see.
	11:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:16 I had a hard time getting into and through Succession, it being entirely filled with psychopaths, but it's so well written it sucked me in.
	11:20pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Dead Little Body Poem" by "Algebra Suicde" They could have put dead Richard Hell from that movie on the cover...
	11:20pm wendy del formaggio: I’m signing off and going to sleep. Thanks for the radio excellence, Rich! NGH, if you wanna chat about housing, you know how to find me. Good night, everybody!
	11:22pm northguineahills: talking about the parsi, i see....
	11:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ wendy del formaggio @11:20 Nighty night, Wendy! See you on the radio!
	11:22pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:19 I'm pretty ambivalent about it...I remember the creator making this head scratcher of a statement about how they're superior to Billions because they don't revel in the material fetishism as much... Though now that I know Giuliani was turned on by the wife in Billions that show is burned for me...
	11:23pm northguineahills: ↳ wendy del formaggio @11:20 will do so, wendy. enjoy the night!
	11:24pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Untitled" by "Esplendor Geométrico" this is the only thing I could quickly grab by them
	11:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Untitled" by "Esplendor Geométrico" i just noticed you did just that!
	11:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:22 There's not a lot of wallowing in material fetishism but it's worst elements are probably intentional; everyone who's a sub-billionaire is a faceless drone to be abused and used, everything with done by the main characters is a business deal. I suppose it confirms dark suspicions we have about the uber wealthy. It's also pretty well written and they managed to wrap it up in a pretty (for me anyway) satisfying manner.
	11:34pm Rich in Washington: BTW: the John Lydon doc The Public Image Is Rotten was pretty good, even if it does completely ignore his pro-trump statements, etc.
	11:34pm ultradamno: I think Billions is any worse about it though, is the head scratcher. It's the same dynamic. These are characters who define success that way, who aren't great, so that gets depicted... I don't know if I was so in love with the writing...especially Roman. I guess you're supposed to want to throttle him...but still
	11:39pm Feldy: Checking in… loving the show, Rich!
	11:39pm Dean: I think I would admire Lydon all the more for making pro-Trump statements. He's entitled to, isn't he? And it riles up so many people for no good reason, which is precisely his MO as a Sex Pistol
	11:40pm ultradamno: Or...no.
	11:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @11:39 it's his stance on country life butter that riles me up....
	11:41pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Under The House" by "Public Image Ltd." wasn't looking at the playlist so was thinking this was ministry for a second
	11:41pm Dean: Wait...he has a stance on Country Life Butter? Okay, now I'm willing to shift my opinion.
	🥁 11:41pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Tzima N'arki" by "Eno Moebius Roedelius" oh hell yes this one
	11:42pm ultradamno: I don't even know if Country Life butter is still available here...maybe I mentally block it out at the market.
	11:43pm ultradamno: ↳ Dean @11:41 He did an ad, unfortunately not with the tagline "the butter is rotten" www.theguardian.com...
	11:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @11:41 www.youtube.com...
	11:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:43 They DO talk about that. He needed the money apparently.
	11:46pm Dean: That's fascinating. This sentence is a bit of a giveaway: "Lydon, once better known for sending chills down the spine of middle Englanders, now appears adept at sending them to the chiller cabinet." Rotten/Lydon and the Pistols really mattered very little to "middle Englanders." But the media certainly wanted to report otherwise, because that sells papers. And evidently it also sells butter.
	11:47pm Dean: Funny commercial as commercials go.
	11:48pm Rich in Washington: Reminds me of when people were jumping on Iggy for the cruise line using Lust For Life. Some musician/producer who was close to him upbraided everyone saying Iggy's been destitute for most of his career up til then. He wasn't even making 'play festivals for the rich kids of the festival circuit' money yet.
	11:48pm ultradamno: A pity no laxative company got GG Allin in an ad while they had the chance
	11:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:48 No shit. Like that could be the line. No shit? Try (brand name)
	11:51pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:48 The Fall and Buzzcocks got some razzing for that stuff too.
	11:52pm Dean: So we have Iggy fans, the sorts of folks who largely at some level promote free self-expression, drawing the line when Iggy "sells out" to Royal Caribbean. It has nothing to do with how wealthy Iggy was.
	11:52pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Melvyn's Repose" by "Renaldo & The Loaf" Another example of Ralph being ahead of The Beatles in using AI for music....a comp curated by a computer.
	11:54pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:52 Yeah! Totally. I wonder if they every sold Frank Johnson. I used to love getting Ralph catalogs in the 80s. They would sell anything just laying around in their Minna St. warehouse/studio in the catalog.
	11:56pm northguineahills: magnificent, rich. thanks for us ne'erdowellers to hang out witcha.... enjoy your night!
	11:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:56 Thanks for listening!
	11:58pm pot8o: thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	11:58pm ultradamno: Speaking of which, The Residents doc, The Theory of Obscurity is on Tubi
	11:59pm northguineahills: sounds very morricone-ish...
	11:59pm Dean: Did Frith appear on Ralph Records other than on the Commercial Album?
	🥁 12:00am Kat in the chat: Thanks, Rich!
	12:00am ultradamno: ↳ Dean @11:59 Aside from Art Bears album they licensed, Gravity and Speechless were on Ralph
	12:01am Dean: Thanks, @ultradomo.
	12:02am Dean: @ultradamno
	12:02am ultradamno: Also, the Dancing In The Street single
	12:04am Rich in Washington: Thanks everyone! See you next week and around in the chat!

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from June 16, 2023

View Rich in Washington's profile

The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

	9:22pm coelacanth∅: hey rw!

	9:25pm ironybread: never under any circumstances stop throwing random things in the mix
	9:26pm Manta: Hello all!
	🥁 9:26pm WR: Hi to y'all grasping onto this broken radio thing. Schlepping by to bring this to your attention: a GoFundMe to help out our WFMU playlist pal northguineahills through a tough time. Some of you may have already read about it and helped out. Some not, here it is. No pressure on anyone. It's hard all over -- crapitalism takes no prisoners, that's for sure. But if you have a little that you can spare to help out a WFMU friend, I thought I'd pass along the opportunity: www.gofundme.com...
	9:28pm Rich in Washington: Phil Minton is also incredible on Radio Inferno
	9:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @9:26 Thank you for sharing that. Yes, our friend NorthGuineaHills could use our help.
	9:33pm Robm: ↳ WR @9:26 NGH is one of the list good guys and will share what i can, WR did you put this in any other shows?
	9:34pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @9:26 i seem to be incidentally following you where you've been posting this, this is the second time it's happened today. Uberdankes, WR!
	9:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Slider [etc.]" by "The Future Sound Of London" ISDN was actually recorded using ISDN in 93-94.
	9:36pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:34 NGH what was the other show?
	9:36pm ironybread: ↳ northguineahills @9:34 Yay!
	9:36pm ultradamno: Don't know if you have anything Watergate related, but Daniel Ellsberg has died.
	9:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:33 mercibeaucoup!
	9:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:36 Bryce!
	9:37pm Rich in Washington: hey NGH! Speak o' the devil!
	9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:36 God. I do. Lemme go see if I can dig something up.
	9:37pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:36 Thanks and you need to get the hell out of Florida
	9:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Bill Laswell: Oscillations (Vedic's live pop remi... Spooky handed this disc (in a paper sleeve) to me when I saw him 2004. (the only time I met him in the wild).
	9:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:37 maybe later when I play something long enough where I can get away from this infernal radio machine.
	🥁 9:39pm WR: ↳ Robm @9:33 I posted in Bryce's program. Handy Haversack has posted it around too. Trying not to be too spammy but would like to see us be able to help NGH over the hump.
	🥁 9:40pm Zipperhead7: Hi Rich and (I keep wanting to write Diggers)
	9:41pm Robm: ↳ WR @9:39 Email ken about it, i am sure he will be understanding
	9:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:41 Irene took care of that, thanks!
	9:43pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 Okay just spitballing some ideas
	9:44pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 And your welcome
	🥁 9:45pm Zipperhead7: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 Glad to see the fund is up and running, NGH!
	9:47pm Rich in Washington: Hi Zipperhead!
	9:48pm Feldy: Hey Rich!
	9:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Feldy @9:48 Feldy! Glad you made it!
	9:52pm Rich in Washington: Glad everyone's here! Hope everyone's having a great Friday/Saturday (depending on your time zone).
	9:53pm Robm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:52 Yes i am listening to all this great strangess
	9:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:45 yeah, handy and Irene really needed to give a few big kicks to make me realize it's what I really needed to do it. now, I don't have to sweat the small things or worry about my copays/etc.
	9:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:43 keep spitting!
	9:54pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @9:53 err, give me a few big kicks...
	9:55pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:54 I will see what i can do Seriously you need to get the fuck out of Florida
	🥁 9:56pm Kat in the chat: Oh I forgot to say hi. Hi!
	9:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:56 Hi Kat! Howdy!
	9:58pm Robm: Hey kat
	10:03pm coelacanth∅: hey ngh if you want to come back up north you can rent my other bedroom for $650/month -includes everything. ...and maybe i wont get evicted. you're pretty definitely a lot more hireable than i am -and i found work... but i know you'd rather be in the city. anyway, an option, if only temporary.
	10:09pm wendy del formaggio: Rich! I have been out the last few Friday nights, but my dinner guests just left so here I am, winding down and listening to the radio and the rain outside. It’s perfect! I love your show; been catching it on the archives.
	10:10pm Rich in Washington: ↳ wendy del formaggio @10:09 Yay! Thanks, Wendy! Love your shows! Can't wait to hear you again next week!
	🥁 10:11pm Kat in the chat: Wendy's rendition of the Hinky Dinky theme today was priceless
	10:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:11 Oh I know! I hope Uncle Michael uses it again!
	10:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:55 just getting to a cafe for a few hours once a week is a good reset for my mental health. I rarely get outside and talk people outside of the shelter. (there is nothing any either direction but skid row or (soon to be developed) wilderness for a good 5km in any direction. no stores, no cafes, no anything... downtown isn't too bad, but it's full of tourists and dumb young people. (as opposed to the darkwave cafe i've been frequenting...)
	10:12pm wendy del formaggio: NGH, like what coel said, I know you want to be in NYC, but I have an extra room in my house, too, if you feel like being a Vermonter. I don’t charge much because fuck c(r)apitalism. We’d have to chat about this n that before it’s official, but it’s another possibility for you.
	10:15pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @10:12 Understandable glad your keeping your sanity and do what you got to do
	🥁 10:15pm WR: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:11 I third the approbation for the Wendy Dinky Time Intro. Need to listen to it again from the archive.
	10:15pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:03 that sounds perfect. I just want to get my foot in the employment door, and if i get remote employment, then i can move anywhere. (plus, compensation isn't too bad for what i'm good at, it's just i haven't worked since i was first hospitalized, so, i keep on getting, "why do you have this hole in your resume?" during interviews, and i explain.., but to no avail..
	10:16pm northguineahills: i live rent free, right now, but, living anywhere else would do wonders for my mental health...
	10:17pm wendy del formaggio: Aww shucks, thanks Kat and Rich. 😊 I had fun today. I was really nervous about my Uncle Michael intro. Definitely pushed up against my comfort zone. But I’m glad I was brave! It paid off.
	10:17pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @10:15 Thats a fucking shame when you try to explain it to them
	10:17pm northguineahills: ↳ wendy del formaggio @10:12 i'll keep that in mind. the only problem is that i'm rather talented in the culinary arts...
	10:18pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @10:17 Oh boy wendy will love that:)
	10:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ wendy del formaggio @10:17 It was fantastic!
	10:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @10:18 i can't cook in my current room, which is rather depressing (i'm used to having the kithen being my domain, and i enjoy cleaning it too)
	10:20pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @10:19 They are afraid it might cause a fire?
	10:21pm wendy del formaggio: NGH, I’ve spent time being unemployed due to illness. My solution when asked by potential employers to explain the gap (and I put this in my resume): I was a consultant / freelancing. I’m not sure if it matches your ethics, but it’s an idea to consider.
	10:23pm Robm: Ok fellow listeners going to bed, chat was enjoyable as always @NGH hang in there amigo
	10:24pm wendy del formaggio: NGH, you love cooking, are good at it, and you love cleaning the kitchen?!? We definitely need to talk. 😊
	10:24pm northguineahills: ↳ wendy del formaggio @10:21 I did exactly that (like, when caring for my ailing mother), I have myself volunteering doing IT/relation database management systems at mission right now. I have friends set me up doing fulltime freelance if asked when all I did is consult on a handful of questions...
	10:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @10:20 most of the people that end up living here full time (i'm the only person not on staff w/ their own room, others only live here for 6 months if they aren't in the rehab program) are former crack, fentanyl, etc addicts, and lack many life skills. so, there are no kitchenettes. I'm not supposed to have a fridge or microwave, but the director looks the other way.
	🥁 10:27pm Zipperhead7: Quasi did some really interesting blues stuff -- a cover of "Drunken Spree," for one
	10:29pm wendy del formaggio: Rich! I was just listening to my copy of Gil Scott Heron’s “Winter in America” yesterday and there’s a song on it called “H2OGate Blues”! Dunno if that’s your thing, but it’s an option.
	🥁 10:30pm Zipperhead7: The JBs did a Watergate song: www.youtube.com...
	10:30pm northguineahills: speaking of which, i'm supposed to go back and finish tutoring this one guy that's paying me. I came back to finish my laundry and take a break. (I actually like tutoring algebra and earth sciences, writing, i'm not sure how to teach an adult how to write essays (i've never thought about it)).
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @10:16 yeah sometimes you have to get some crappy job for a few months just so they see you're diligent, and able. ...and yeah no capitalism here! just 1/2 of what i need to make it. ... if you want to look at my craigslist ad email in private. i have it available on the 20th but i haven't interviewed anyone for it yet. so many scams... the kitchen's decent. i like to cook too.
	10:31pm northguineahills: don't forget UM's Honeydrippers' "Impeach the President". www.youtube.com...
	🥁 10:31pm WR: ↳ Song: "Watergate Blues" by "Tom T. Hall" I forgot or missed that Tom T Hall did this. Or maybe it was banned in South Texas...
	🥁 10:33pm Zipperhead7: When the echo kicked in, I wondered if MK-Ultra had dosed ol' Tom T?!
	10:33pm northguineahills: I'm in a holding pattern for 6 jobs i've zoom interviewed for, been rejected for 5 others, and I send applications out every day. it's a numbers game. Most jobs in my past from sending out the application to actually starting has taken me 3-7 months...
	10:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:31 Oh yeah. I could dig up quite a few Nixon tracks. Maybe on a deathaversary?
	10:35pm ultradamno: Hall did die of suicide, not an uncommon MK-ultra outcome
	10:36pm wendy del formaggio: NGH, I went through patches of that in my life. When I got sick in 2019 and was outta work, I applied for ~30 jobs before finally cobbling together an income from 3 part-time jobs. It was terrifying and frustrating. Fuck crapitalism.
	10:38pm ultradamno: Wonder if Ellsberg was well enough to see Hunt and Liddy portrayed as likable buffoons in White House Plumbers...
	10:38pm wendy del formaggio: MKUltra was some profoundly fucked up shit. I started reading books about it a few years ago. I learned of its existence via the “Mad Pride” movement.
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: and on these notes, i'm off to work. Thanks Rich! 'night y'all
	10:39pm pot8o: good night coel!
	10:40pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:39 night, coel! dream well in your scales!
	10:40pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:39 See ya, coel! Peace out!
	🥁 10:40pm Zipperhead7: Some Unabomber haikus. My favorite: "Open your present..." "No, you open your present..." Kaczinski Christmas archive.ronrecord.com...
	10:41pm ultradamno: Did Ted refuse modern health care technology in his last days?
	10:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:40 I wish I had more info on this release. It almost sounds like it was done on someone's late night radio show or something.
	10:43pm ultradamno: Also, Blackie from Urge Overkill died the other day...
	10:43pm northguineahills: alright, a tutoring I shall go.., thanks, rich and friends, feels great to commiserate w/ y'all!
	10:43pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @10:43 hadn't heard that...
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: So here's the total batshit part: I was looking for this CD to play 2 WEEKS AGO - before Ted died. I couldn't find it because my 'I don't know how to file this CD' CDs were still packed away from my move, but I found it and then Ted died! I shit you not!
	10:44pm ultradamno: ↳ northguineahills @10:43 Yep. www.msn.com...
	10:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:43 See you, NGH! Have a good tutoring!
	10:45pm wendy del formaggio: Rich, that is some Psychic DJ shit right there.
	🥁 10:47pm Kat in the chat: Urge Overkill were not my favorite Chicago humans (or band) but that Blackie news still bums me out
	🥁 10:47pm Zipperhead7: Didn't Exene go a little right-crazy?
	10:48pm Rich in Washington: This album is so batshit in its execution that I suspect the involvement of DJ Kitten Sparkles but I don't think so.
	10:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:47 Kinda. I think she's always been pretty wacky but people made her out to be trumpy, etc. but I don't think that's accurate. Not sure. I think she's anti-vax though, FWIW.
	🥁 10:49pm Kat in the chat: ↳ wendy del formaggio @10:45 Psychic DJ shit is real. Weirdest encounter I ever had with it was Mary Wing playing an obscure selection from the Mary Poppins soundtrack (the one where the kids sing about the kind of nanny they want) two days after it had entered my head for the first time in decades
	10:50pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:47 I'm not a huge fan either, I remember them early on as kind of Naked Raygun jr...I liked them when I saw them though.
	🥁 10:51pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @10:50 I still have a cassette of The Supersonic Storybook. I had a chat with Ed once outside the venue I worked at after one of their shows, he was pleasant enough and offered me a ride home, which I had the wisdom to decline
	10:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:49 One of my radio mentors used to call it The Radio Gods, where you accidentally play some random thing under pressure and it goes perfectly with what's already playing, etc. Just unexplainable miraculous radio happenings.
	🥁 10:52pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @10:50 Blackie and Nate would have been too cool to talk to the likes of me (I worked for the cool venue but had a day job rather than a bar job)
	🥁 10:55pm Zipperhead7: ↳ ultradamno @10:38 That show ticked me off. Woody Harrelson had his chin stuck out like the bow of an icebreaker. I gave up after twenty minutes.
	10:56pm Rich in Washington: I might haveta watch it. I've run out of series to watch. Just finished Succession.
	10:57pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:56 Be sure to skip The Idol....what a drag.
	🥁 10:59pm Kat in the chat: I like Exene better when she sings
	10:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:57 I don't even know what that is. I'm limited to stuff on Netflix, HBO Max, Prime
	10:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:59 Yeah, it's a bit of a hard slog but we're almost through it!
	11:00pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:59 New Sam Levinson thing starring Lily Depp on HBO...John Lurie's Painting With John is back for a new season though.
	11:02pm ultradamno: Started the new Black Mirror and wasn't too impressed with the Joan Is Awful ep, seems like they've done the AI in a virtual world gaining sentience story better before leaving only the meta celeb casting for appeal.
	11:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:00 Oh wow.
	11:03pm ultradamno: Lurie's show is recording here as we speak, actually
	11:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:02 I didn't know it was out yet. Loved the first couple of seasons. The last one was a bit unimpressive, even with the gimmicky episode.
	11:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:04 but I'm also due to go back and watch the first two seasons again.
	11:11pm northguineahills: ok, back. looks like i'll be busy sunday-sunday next week, but i'll be paid well to get this guy to pass three classes...
	11:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:11 Nice! What kind of tutoring do you do?
	11:13pm ultradamno: I did start and finish the new I Think You Should Leave pretty quickly, which I don't usually binge things. Finally got around to starting The Watcher and for all the world it seems like the exact thing The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window was making fun of...
	11:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Colony Collapse Disorder" by "Dave Philips" I've had this for a while but haven't gotten around to playing anything from it yet, like the Kaczynski album.
	11:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Colony Collapse Disorder" by "Dave Philips" sounds like matmos' quasi-objects album...
	11:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:13 I binged the ultra brief YT series You and Your Fucking Coffee and now I am a Henry Philips fan.
	11:15pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:13 so far, algebra, life sciences, earth sciences... community college grade stuff...
	11:16pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:14 DJ Martinibomb messaged me and told me I had to watch his movie Punching The Clown and it hooked me on his YT channel.
	11:16pm ultradamno: I have a love/hate thing with You, I watch it, but the v/o narration drives me nuts. I kind of like Devil In Ohio and Night Agent. I also started Fubar and...not sure I'll finish it.
	11:17pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:15 I just cued up something by Algebra Suicide but complete coincidence.
	11:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:17 counterbalanced by esplendor geometrico?
	11:19pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:16 You being very different than You and Your Fucking Coffee, I now see.
	11:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:16 I had a hard time getting into and through Succession, it being entirely filled with psychopaths, but it's so well written it sucked me in.
	11:20pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Dead Little Body Poem" by "Algebra Suicde" They could have put dead Richard Hell from that movie on the cover...
	11:20pm wendy del formaggio: I’m signing off and going to sleep. Thanks for the radio excellence, Rich! NGH, if you wanna chat about housing, you know how to find me. Good night, everybody!
	11:22pm northguineahills: talking about the parsi, i see....
	11:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ wendy del formaggio @11:20 Nighty night, Wendy! See you on the radio!
	11:22pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:19 I'm pretty ambivalent about it...I remember the creator making this head scratcher of a statement about how they're superior to Billions because they don't revel in the material fetishism as much... Though now that I know Giuliani was turned on by the wife in Billions that show is burned for me...
	11:23pm northguineahills: ↳ wendy del formaggio @11:20 will do so, wendy. enjoy the night!
	11:24pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Untitled" by "Esplendor Geométrico" this is the only thing I could quickly grab by them
	11:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Untitled" by "Esplendor Geométrico" i just noticed you did just that!
	11:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:22 There's not a lot of wallowing in material fetishism but it's worst elements are probably intentional; everyone who's a sub-billionaire is a faceless drone to be abused and used, everything with done by the main characters is a business deal. I suppose it confirms dark suspicions we have about the uber wealthy. It's also pretty well written and they managed to wrap it up in a pretty (for me anyway) satisfying manner.
	11:34pm Rich in Washington: BTW: the John Lydon doc The Public Image Is Rotten was pretty good, even if it does completely ignore his pro-trump statements, etc.
	11:34pm ultradamno: I think Billions is any worse about it though, is the head scratcher. It's the same dynamic. These are characters who define success that way, who aren't great, so that gets depicted... I don't know if I was so in love with the writing...especially Roman. I guess you're supposed to want to throttle him...but still
	11:39pm Feldy: Checking in… loving the show, Rich!
	11:39pm Dean: I think I would admire Lydon all the more for making pro-Trump statements. He's entitled to, isn't he? And it riles up so many people for no good reason, which is precisely his MO as a Sex Pistol
	11:40pm ultradamno: Or...no.
	11:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @11:39 it's his stance on country life butter that riles me up....
	11:41pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Under The House" by "Public Image Ltd." wasn't looking at the playlist so was thinking this was ministry for a second
	11:41pm Dean: Wait...he has a stance on Country Life Butter? Okay, now I'm willing to shift my opinion.
	🥁 11:41pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Tzima N'arki" by "Eno Moebius Roedelius" oh hell yes this one
	11:42pm ultradamno: I don't even know if Country Life butter is still available here...maybe I mentally block it out at the market.
	11:43pm ultradamno: ↳ Dean @11:41 He did an ad, unfortunately not with the tagline "the butter is rotten" www.theguardian.com...
	11:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @11:41 www.youtube.com...
	11:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:43 They DO talk about that. He needed the money apparently.
	11:46pm Dean: That's fascinating. This sentence is a bit of a giveaway: "Lydon, once better known for sending chills down the spine of middle Englanders, now appears adept at sending them to the chiller cabinet." Rotten/Lydon and the Pistols really mattered very little to "middle Englanders." But the media certainly wanted to report otherwise, because that sells papers. And evidently it also sells butter.
	11:47pm Dean: Funny commercial as commercials go.
	11:48pm Rich in Washington: Reminds me of when people were jumping on Iggy for the cruise line using Lust For Life. Some musician/producer who was close to him upbraided everyone saying Iggy's been destitute for most of his career up til then. He wasn't even making 'play festivals for the rich kids of the festival circuit' money yet.
	11:48pm ultradamno: A pity no laxative company got GG Allin in an ad while they had the chance
	11:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:48 No shit. Like that could be the line. No shit? Try (brand name)
	11:51pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:48 The Fall and Buzzcocks got some razzing for that stuff too.
	11:52pm Dean: So we have Iggy fans, the sorts of folks who largely at some level promote free self-expression, drawing the line when Iggy "sells out" to Royal Caribbean. It has nothing to do with how wealthy Iggy was.
	11:52pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Melvyn's Repose" by "Renaldo & The Loaf" Another example of Ralph being ahead of The Beatles in using AI for music....a comp curated by a computer.
	11:54pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:52 Yeah! Totally. I wonder if they every sold Frank Johnson. I used to love getting Ralph catalogs in the 80s. They would sell anything just laying around in their Minna St. warehouse/studio in the catalog.
	11:56pm northguineahills: magnificent, rich. thanks for us ne'erdowellers to hang out witcha.... enjoy your night!
	11:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:56 Thanks for listening!
	11:58pm pot8o: thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	11:58pm ultradamno: Speaking of which, The Residents doc, The Theory of Obscurity is on Tubi
	11:59pm northguineahills: sounds very morricone-ish...
	11:59pm Dean: Did Frith appear on Ralph Records other than on the Commercial Album?
	🥁 12:00am Kat in the chat: Thanks, Rich!
	12:00am ultradamno: ↳ Dean @11:59 Aside from Art Bears album they licensed, Gravity and Speechless were on Ralph
	12:01am Dean: Thanks, @ultradomo.
	12:02am Dean: @ultradamno
	12:02am ultradamno: Also, the Dancing In The Street single
	12:04am Rich in Washington: Thanks everyone! See you next week and around in the chat!
