	9:13pm Dean: Isn't it Hafler--FL, not LF--Trio? Fucking hell. Brötzmann.
	9:13pm Kat in the chat: I just unpacked those cassettes the other day.

	🥁 9:14pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:13 He did last Saturday
	9:14pm Kat in the chat: I an definitely sad to hear that!

	9:17pm Franco Twinkie: I'm new around here, did he say got worked for a co-op?
	9:18pm pot8o: shame mackenzie took down most of his stuff and it's all decades out of print, the hafler trio's pretty good
	9:18pm Franco Twinkie: Got, gob, glock - you know who I mean.
	🥁 9:19pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:14 You were acquainted?
	9:19pm Scott_Oz: How long before they start Submersible Tours for billionaires to go see the sub wreckage of millionaires?☠️
	🥁 9:20pm Kat in the chat: I think I ended up seeing Slacker four times for one reason or another
	9:21pm Rich in Washington: Franco!
	9:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:19 lol!
	🥁 9:22pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:19 Met him through a friend and got to hang out with him a few times

	9:22pm Robm: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:20 kat just found out it is on max so i might watch it tomorrow
	9:22pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "Madonna's Papsmear" by "Teresa "Nervosa" Taylor" Watched it again during Covid Waves. My Gen-X Slacker roots are still strong & breezed me through lockdown
	🥁 9:22pm Zipperhead7: Austin in the good ol' days
	🥁 9:23pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:18 He said God presided over the Planet Kolob en.wikipedia.org...

	9:24pm Don-O: ↳ ultradamno @9:23 Indeed!
	9:24pm Rich in Washington: ↳ TDK60 @9:24 Hi TDK60!
	🥁 9:24pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:22 That's cool!
	9:25pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "American Woman" by "Butthole Surfers" There's a all-Butthole show in your future, Rich.
	9:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Don-O @9:25 Chock Full O' Buttholes
	9:26pm chippy von Humboldt: I haven't heard bhs mixed live before, cool
	9:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ chippy von Humboldt @9:26 Hi chippy! Hope I don't disappoint!
	9:28pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:23 Thanks Kat, I just woke up.
	🥁 9:28pm Kat in the chat: I've never been that big a Buttholes fan but Rich helps me appreciate them. I did see them live once at the venue I used to work at, and it was a great show
	9:29pm Don-O: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:26 Surfin' On A Sea Of Buttholes!
	9:30pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:28 The first time I saw them was, I believe, at that venue (on the right) twitter.com...
	9:30pm Rich in Washington: still trying to decide whether I buy the great big Butthole picture book they're selling before it sells out.
	9:31pm Franco Twinkie: I never saw The Butthole Surfers, and I guess it's too late now.
	🥁 9:31pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @9:30 You are correct, sir. I made that flyer!
	9:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:31 well I want it now! I just hung a flyer right behind me of one of the more memorable shows I ever attended by them.
	🥁 9:32pm Kat in the chat: Pretty sure I did, anyway. I made most of the Metro flyers during that era.
	9:32pm ultradamno: I saw them about four time, that was the one and only of them that they were still playing the early hits. It was a lot of fun
	9:32pm Dean: The Great Big Butthole Picture Book. Again I have to ask, what is "great big"? The butthole? The picture? The book?
	9:33pm Dean: Also, I was just today informing a friend that I have seen the Brillo boxes, Andy's, IRL.
	🥁 9:33pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:28 Ah, Cabaret Metro. Loved the story about Einstürzende Neubauten scrounging junkards for metal to use in their show that night
	9:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @9:32 someone released a huge photo book called What Does Regret Mean? Lots of pics and ephemera including a repro of a zine that Paul and Gibby made before forming the band.
	9:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @9:33 I'm making a tiny papercraft stack of brillo boxes on a miniature wooden pallet.
	9:36pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:35 the individual boxes are 1" sq.
	9:36pm ultradamno: The Bogarts one on the left was made by Wendy Darst of opening band Manwich, who shared members with Chrome Cranks
	9:36pm chippy von Humboldt: I once smoked out Paul and Jeff before a bhs show. King declined, claiming to be "abstemious"
	9:37pm spodiodi: greetings Rich! (and broken types)
	🥁 9:37pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:33 ah you remember that one!
	9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ spodiodi @9:37 spodi!
	9:37pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:31 Hiya Franco. I heard their first album, but only parts of later ones. Later on, I lost close interest. Their oddball wackiness was a bit of curveball in the hardcore punk scene then. I did share the stage with them and later party with them, once.
	9:37pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:36 I was surprised when I saw a real Andy Warhol Brillo box at the Whitney - it was made out of wood and had lots of the extra writing excluded.
	🥁 9:38pm WR: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:37 yeah, Warhol was lazy, I, mean, was a minimalist.
	9:39pm spodiodi: bad skin to boot
	🥁 9:40pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @9:30 I like virtually "running into" people on the 'FMU boards who were at shows I was at, small world etc
	9:40pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @9:37 That's great! I would always choose partying with musicians over going to a show.
	9:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:40 Me too. It seems like Dean and myself breathed a lot of the same fetid air in the long ago.
	9:42pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:40 Franco. I expected wild rowdiness and hijinks at that after-partee. But the band was tired. We were all tired and it was low-key chill.
	9:43pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @9:42 Just hearing the words 'Wild Rowdiness' make me want to got back to bed.
	9:45pm Franco Twinkie: Got, spot, blot - you know what I mean.
	9:45pm Don-O: iiiiiit's butthole time!!
	9:45pm Dean: All this talk about Brillo...are you saying that I haven't bathed?
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Rich and all
	9:46pm Rich in Washington: Hey coel!
	9:48pm spodiodi: ↳ Dean @9:32 hail Robt Wms!
	9:49pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Dean @9:45 One day I found a Brillo Pad under the sink with all the pink soap eaten off by termites.
	9:49pm spodiodi: and hail coelacanthØ
	9:50pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Psychedelic Jam" by "Butthole Surfers" oooh love this ons... never heard this bootleg before
	9:50pm spodiodi: one*
	9:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ spodiodi @9:50 it was broadcast on Dutch radio so heavily bootlegged over the years. The whole thing's brillo ( :) ). You can find it and a buttload of Butthole live shows on archive dot org.
	9:52pm spodiodi: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:49 found some mites in come chocolate ... one chocolate bar again (i think the place wasn't cleaned properly )or at all) before we moved in ... i hope they enjoyed our offering to out ne neighbors
	9:53pm spodiodi: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:51 sweet! thanks, Rich!
	9:53pm Dean: Those termites could probably bring a class-action suit against the makers of Brillo.
	9:54pm spodiodi: ↳ Dean @9:53 haha
	9:54pm Rich in Washington: ↳ spodiodi @9:52 I had a friend who said he had a very old jar of Asian spice of some kind and he said bugs got into it and only ate certain spices in it and he said afterward he preferred the insect-altered spice.
	9:55pm spodiodi: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:54 ha! nice. better living with pests!
	9:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ spodiodi @9:53 I think I played this entire bootleg on my Sheena show at one time.
	9:56pm Rich in Washington: I just discovered that I have a huge patch of mint growing wild in my back yard. I need to go harvest it before it gets mowed.
	9:57pm Franco Twinkie: Save the mint!
	9:59pm spodiodi: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:55 i'll keep an eye out, thanks... even if i were there, i probably would have forgotten :-B i forget eveything
	10:01pm coelacanth∅: ↳ spodiodi @9:49 hey spodi!
	10:01pm Ike: Greetings, humans!
	10:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Ike @10:01 Ike!
	10:02pm Feldy: Hey Rich!
	10:02pm chresti: ↳ spodiodi @9:59 I do too! Details are hazy
	10:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Feldy @10:02 Feldy!
	10:02pm spodiodi: meow, Ike!
	10:04pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ chresti @10:02 I usually remember everything - except to pay the bills. But you already know that.
	10:04pm spodiodi: ↳ chresti @10:02 hi chresti!\\// i really should take more pictures ! :-B
	10:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Cowboy Bob" by "Butthole Surfers" i prematured gibby during arb due to multitasking while wfmu....apparently, i was just having a premonition.
	10:06pm Andres: Hi, Rich. Loving this tribute and deep dive from Pap Smear onwards. Great stuff!
	10:06pm Scott_Oz: From Butthole Surfing to eyehole swelling. I gotta go to A&E to see about a serious eye infection. Thanks Rich, sad to go so soon mate! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨☕🌻
	10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:06 Oh no! Hope everything's ok!
	10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Andres @10:06 Hi Andres!
	10:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Melba vs Gay Day" by "Brother Russell" rather geographically prescient to me...(i remember when the rw rubes were frothing over this in the 90s).
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:04 Hi NGH!
	10:08pm northguineahills: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:06 crap, your eye is still munted, mate? take care, man, get that gunk out!
	10:08pm Ike: I hope A&E doesn't stand for the same thing in Aus that it does here, because I'd hate to have a sleazy cable TV network treating eye infections.
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: "his voice was higher than YOURS, Bob" is the money shot.
	10:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Melba vs Gay Day" by "Brother Russell" toast!
	10:10pm Franco Twinkie: I hate these people.
	10:11pm TDK60: Set thy son free, to go to the Pride Parade.
	🥁 10:11pm Zipperhead7: Shaba laba hamada! Mondo besoya!
	🥁 10:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:06 uggh hope they clear that up for you fast, Scott!
	10:14pm pot8o: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:06 get well soon!
	10:16pm TDK60: Coffey and Teresa were definitely impressive live, standing there with their floor toms.
	10:17pm spodiodi: RIP Teresa Taylor :\ loved Slacker
	🥁 10:17pm Zipperhead7: Screaming Boy: www.youtube.com...
	10:18pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Melba vs Gay Day" by "Brother Russell" I thought he was a real preacher. So he was tripping on Melba, or was she in one the joke?
	10:19pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, I get it.
	10:22pm spodiodi: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:06 best wishes, Scott! 🤙🤘🧑‍⚕️☀️🌻
	10:22pm ironybread: "Well, he didn't endorse it." oh man I'm dying
	10:23pm Franco Twinkie: Peter North - the human lawn sprinkler.
	10:25pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:23 Oh dear
	🥁 10:28pm Zipperhead7: Russell was a titan of recreational christianity, right up there with Gwem and Archelder Perm Poom
	10:29pm TDK60: I can't believe the pastor hasn't figured out the call is faux.
	🥁 10:29pm Kat in the chat: Thanks for linking to that Dallas Observer article, Rich. That's amazing that he made a living like that!
	10:29pm Andres: Oh man. Melba is gold!!
	🥁 10:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:28 "titan of recreational christianity" nice
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace Machine Gun
	10:35pm Feldy: LOL death dedication
	10:35pm northguineahills: john allen did a good tribute this morning peter brotzmann...
	🥁 10:37pm Zipperhead7: Bill Clinton called Brotzmann "one of the greatest" www.theguardian.com...
	10:37pm coelacanth∅: AGDDD
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: this ain't your grandma's yakety sax
	🥁 10:40pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @10:35 yes he did!
	🥁 10:41pm Kat in the chat: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:39 LOL!
	10:44pm coelacanth∅: and now i must go endure 8.5 hours of vacuous, algorithmically procured, zoomer-approved almost unbearable surround-sound imitation whilst breaking my back to earn my peanut butter. Thanks Rich! 'night y'all
	10:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:39 LOL
	10:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:44 Nighty night, Coel!
	10:46pm northguineahills: do we get to the nonet?
	10:57pm spodiodi: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:44 aloha coelacanthØ! (was eating)
	11:03pm Rich in Washington: now it's dark
	11:03pm northguineahills: ↳ spodiodi @10:57 there's no reason to go all pescatarian on him. /was he tasty?
	11:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Talk to the Canoe Driver" by "Caspar Brötzmann & ... john allen played this track this morning...
	11:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:03 Nice!
	11:04pm pot8o: i've been kinda mentally debating back and forth in my head for a couple months now about getting a show on the drummer stream should i? it'd be an experimental show in the same way as bryce's, but with more live collaging & improvised noise on one hand, it'd be fun as hell, but on the other i literally graduated high school a month ago & i have 0 experience being a dj other than religiously listening to wfmu
	11:06pm Dean: Who was Caspar's mom? Seems she needs some credit here.
	11:07pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:04 short answer: yes! long answer: heeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllll yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaahhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! /comments w/ unbroken strings are not allowed, apparently...
	11:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:04 Do you have a community radio station in your town? You could volunteer and get training.
	11:09pm spodiodi: ↳ northguineahills @11:03 ya kinda lost me , ngh :-B it's fine. explaining jokes... kills them, i realize :)
	11:09pm Dean: One of the top three shows I've seen was Brötzmann with Full Blast at a tiny venue in Berkeley. Two seconds into the show I was rapt.
	11:11pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:07 the college i'm going to has their own radio station, but you have to major in communications to get a slot unfortunately since i'm majoring in accounting, i don't believe i would be able to get a slot on there, plus they only play alt rock afaik
	11:11pm Feldy: Digging this shit! Had to run into the grocery store, so needed this to erase the Shania Twain I had to hear
	11:11pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:07 training? tom roe asked me if I wanted to dj for a few hours on free103point9. I did so. (and would do so on and off for a quite a few years) (although I had been djing in various club/party/concert settings for a while at that point.)
	11:11pm Rich in Washington: This next track is even more noisy.
	11:13pm Dean: Holy hell, yes. His stuff with Defribillator is luscious.
	11:13pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:11 not sure if pirate radio is a thing. But at my university town, all of the interesting music was played there (although they had their equipment confiscated by the fcc twice in four years...
	11:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Feldy @11:11 I refer to stuff like Last Exit and more extreme stuff by Zorn as 'headcleaner'.
	11:14pm northguineahills: ↳ spodiodi @11:09 you said you were eating colecanthe....
	11:16pm Feldy: I used to DJ at a nightclub in Kalamazoo many years ago. Beat mixing on a CD setup, running disco lights. Fun time
	11:16pm ultradamno: RRRRRRadio, for pirates!
	11:18pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @11:13 that would be fun, but because i'm in the middle of absolute nowhere it's unfortunately out of the question could start my own, but i definitely don't have the time, money, or know-how to do it
	11:18pm ultradamno: ...do a show that is all stuff from RRRecords
	11:19pm Feldy: This is balls to the wall rad
	11:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:18 That's funny. Some of my KBOO comrades were discussing that very thing. Sadly my own collection is thin on that label.
	11:21pm spodiodi: ah, thanks, nhg. keep reminding myself: punctuation is as as reading, and typing :-B
	11:21pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @11:18 I'm missing an RRRecords comp b/c my roommate at the time got drunk and left it at a bar (someone saw him out and told him to give it to me).
	11:22pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:21 Ron's still rolling www.rrrecords.com
	11:22pm northguineahills: ↳ spodiodi @11:21 just as long as i can take your comments out of context, that's all that matters 😜
	11:22pm Rich in Washington: I was thinking of playing that clip of Jimmy Fallon taking a piss about the fact that he just learned that there's a record called Nipples but I find him intolerably annoying and simpering.
	11:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:21 and my friends think I'm an asshole for never lending out records.
	11:27pm Dean: What a moron, Fallon. Zero talent, zero charisma, zero skill as an interlocutor. His Brötzmann "joke" was more juvenile than most of the shit I spew.
	11:28pm Ike: A simpering drip, for sure.
	11:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @11:27 It just made me mad. It's like some sub normal wanna-be frat douche showing up at an avant garde show or art gallery.
	11:29pm ultradamno: I'd say Fallon's the worst, but the memory of Corden hasn't quite faded enough yet
	11:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:29 the bit where he plays some of it and the audience laughs at his stupid reaction.
	11:30pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:29 Is it just a thing where late night TV hosts have to be awful human beings?
	11:30pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:30 colbert seems alright, but i don't pay attention to late night tv
	11:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:26 it wasn't leant out, it was supposed to be a gift for me, so, I never got to listen to it...
	11:31pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:30 I like him but I haven't watched late night TV since Letterman on NBC, honestly.
	11:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:31 Ah. I'm still not lending out my records.
	11:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:29 if he earned one brotzmann convert that night, then, all's good in my book...
	11:33pm Dean: You credit Fallon with too many hyphenated epithets. No. He's a moron. But don't get me started. Television has spawned very, very few talented entertainers. Colbert, too, is a moron. Utterly talent-free. Jon Stewart resorted to the same ol' same ol'. Letterman: what a cocky, insufferable, not funny douchebag. But all of my opinions--which is all they are--are based on minimal viewing, because these hideous people were incapable of capturing my attention in a relatively short amount of time.
	11:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Fuck de Boere (Dedicated to Johnny Dyani) [excerp... apropos title for dyani (boers as in afrikaaner)
	11:34pm ironybread: "Fuck de Boere" is pretty much the greatest thing ever tonight
	11:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @11:34 I nearly forgot I had this. My records and CDs are in so much disarray. Horrible.
	11:37pm spodiodi: i set myself up for misunderstandings with my vagueness, ngh 🧑‍🎄
	11:38pm spodiodi: ↳ northguineahills @11:22 ^
	11:39pm Dean: At a Vision Festival c.1999 I hung out at the bar in the back of the venue, drinking beer with Peter Brötzmann. We chatted, but only briefly.
	11:41pm pot8o: gonna head out early, feeling really tired thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	11:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:41 nighty night pot8o!
	11:42pm Dean: Also saw the Tentet at Victo with Vandermark, Kondi, Drake, so many of the greats. Damn, no more.
	11:43pm Dean: Kondo
	11:43pm spodiodi: ↳ spodiodi @11:21 important... and i can't type or think any better, but at least i have new glasses mow (still adjusting, so no real improvement of output yet). ... but who knows, eventually, i may come scross more understandably ;-B to the future
	11:44pm spodiodi: ↳ pot8o @11:41 adios!
	11:44pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:41 later pot8o, have a great night!
	11:45pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @11:44 you too!
	11:54pm Rich in Washington: I'm not sure if this is the Last Exit performance where there's video of it, but in the one I'm thinking of, Sonny's riffing like nuts with sweat flying off of him, Laswell is charging across the stage like a lunatic, Jackson looks possessed and Brötzmann looks like some beast in transformation mode in John Carpenter's The Thing. It's fucking nuts. Wished I coulda seen them live.

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from June 23, 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

	9:28pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:23 Thanks Kat, I just woke up.
	🥁 9:28pm Kat in the chat: I've never been that big a Buttholes fan but Rich helps me appreciate them. I did see them live once at the venue I used to work at, and it was a great show
	9:29pm Don-O: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:26 Surfin' On A Sea Of Buttholes!
	9:30pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:28 The first time I saw them was, I believe, at that venue (on the right) twitter.com...
	9:30pm Rich in Washington: still trying to decide whether I buy the great big Butthole picture book they're selling before it sells out.
	9:31pm Franco Twinkie: I never saw The Butthole Surfers, and I guess it's too late now.

	9:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:31 well I want it now! I just hung a flyer right behind me of one of the more memorable shows I ever attended by them.
	🥁 9:32pm Kat in the chat: Pretty sure I did, anyway. I made most of the Metro flyers during that era.
	9:32pm ultradamno: I saw them about four time, that was the one and only of them that they were still playing the early hits. It was a lot of fun
	9:32pm Dean: The Great Big Butthole Picture Book. Again I have to ask, what is "great big"? The butthole? The picture? The book?
	9:33pm Dean: Also, I was just today informing a friend that I have seen the Brillo boxes, Andy's, IRL.
	🥁 9:33pm Zipperhead7: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:28 Ah, Cabaret Metro. Loved the story about Einstürzende Neubauten scrounging junkards for metal to use in their show that night
	9:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @9:32 someone released a huge photo book called What Does Regret Mean? Lots of pics and ephemera including a repro of a zine that Paul and Gibby made before forming the band.
	9:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @9:33 I'm making a tiny papercraft stack of brillo boxes on a miniature wooden pallet.
	9:36pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:35 the individual boxes are 1" sq.
	9:36pm ultradamno: The Bogarts one on the left was made by Wendy Darst of opening band Manwich, who shared members with Chrome Cranks
	9:36pm chippy von Humboldt: I once smoked out Paul and Jeff before a bhs show. King declined, claiming to be "abstemious"
	9:37pm spodiodi: greetings Rich! (and broken types)
	🥁 9:37pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:33 ah you remember that one!
	9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ spodiodi @9:37 spodi!
	9:37pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:31 Hiya Franco. I heard their first album, but only parts of later ones. Later on, I lost close interest. Their oddball wackiness was a bit of curveball in the hardcore punk scene then. I did share the stage with them and later party with them, once.
	9:37pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:36 I was surprised when I saw a real Andy Warhol Brillo box at the Whitney - it was made out of wood and had lots of the extra writing excluded.
	🥁 9:38pm WR: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:37 yeah, Warhol was lazy, I, mean, was a minimalist.
	9:39pm spodiodi: bad skin to boot
	🥁 9:40pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @9:30 I like virtually "running into" people on the 'FMU boards who were at shows I was at, small world etc
	9:40pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @9:37 That's great! I would always choose partying with musicians over going to a show.
	9:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:40 Me too. It seems like Dean and myself breathed a lot of the same fetid air in the long ago.
	9:42pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:40 Franco. I expected wild rowdiness and hijinks at that after-partee. But the band was tired. We were all tired and it was low-key chill.
	9:43pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @9:42 Just hearing the words 'Wild Rowdiness' make me want to got back to bed.
	9:45pm Franco Twinkie: Got, spot, blot - you know what I mean.
	9:45pm Don-O: iiiiiit's butthole time!!
	9:45pm Dean: All this talk about Brillo...are you saying that I haven't bathed?
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Rich and all

	9:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ spodiodi @9:50 it was broadcast on Dutch radio so heavily bootlegged over the years. The whole thing's brillo ( :) ). You can find it and a buttload of Butthole live shows on archive dot org.
	9:52pm spodiodi: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:49 found some mites in come chocolate ... one chocolate bar again (i think the place wasn't cleaned properly )or at all) before we moved in ... i hope they enjoyed our offering to out ne neighbors
	9:53pm spodiodi: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:51 sweet! thanks, Rich!
	9:53pm Dean: Those termites could probably bring a class-action suit against the makers of Brillo.
	9:54pm spodiodi: ↳ Dean @9:53 haha
	9:54pm Rich in Washington: ↳ spodiodi @9:52 I had a friend who said he had a very old jar of Asian spice of some kind and he said bugs got into it and only ate certain spices in it and he said afterward he preferred the insect-altered spice.
	9:55pm spodiodi: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:54 ha! nice. better living with pests!
	9:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ spodiodi @9:53 I think I played this entire bootleg on my Sheena show at one time.
	9:56pm Rich in Washington: I just discovered that I have a huge patch of mint growing wild in my back yard. I need to go harvest it before it gets mowed.
	9:57pm Franco Twinkie: Save the mint!

	10:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Cowboy Bob" by "Butthole Surfers" i prematured gibby during arb due to multitasking while wfmu....apparently, i was just having a premonition.
	10:06pm Andres: Hi, Rich. Loving this tribute and deep dive from Pap Smear onwards. Great stuff!
	10:06pm Scott_Oz: From Butthole Surfing to eyehole swelling. I gotta go to A&E to see about a serious eye infection. Thanks Rich, sad to go so soon mate! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨☕🌻
	10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:06 Oh no! Hope everything's ok!
	10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Andres @10:06 Hi Andres!
	10:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Melba vs Gay Day" by "Brother Russell" rather geographically prescient to me...(i remember when the rw rubes were frothing over this in the 90s).
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:04 Hi NGH!
	10:08pm northguineahills: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:06 crap, your eye is still munted, mate? take care, man, get that gunk out!
	10:08pm Ike: I hope A&E doesn't stand for the same thing in Aus that it does here, because I'd hate to have a sleazy cable TV network treating eye infections.
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: "his voice was higher than YOURS, Bob" is the money shot.
	10:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Melba vs Gay Day" by "Brother Russell" toast!

	10:17pm spodiodi: RIP Teresa Taylor :\ loved Slacker
	🥁 10:17pm Zipperhead7: Screaming Boy: www.youtube.com...
	10:18pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Melba vs Gay Day" by "Brother Russell" I thought he was a real preacher. So he was tripping on Melba, or was she in one the joke?

	🥁 10:28pm Zipperhead7: Russell was a titan of recreational christianity, right up there with Gwem and Archelder Perm Poom
	10:29pm TDK60: I can't believe the pastor hasn't figured out the call is faux.

	11:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Talk to the Canoe Driver" by "Caspar Brötzmann & ... john allen played this track this morning...
	11:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:03 Nice!
	11:04pm pot8o: i've been kinda mentally debating back and forth in my head for a couple months now about getting a show on the drummer stream should i? it'd be an experimental show in the same way as bryce's, but with more live collaging & improvised noise on one hand, it'd be fun as hell, but on the other i literally graduated high school a month ago & i have 0 experience being a dj other than religiously listening to wfmu
	11:06pm Dean: Who was Caspar's mom? Seems she needs some credit here.
	11:07pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:04 short answer: yes! long answer: heeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllll yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaahhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! /comments w/ unbroken strings are not allowed, apparently...
	11:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:04 Do you have a community radio station in your town? You could volunteer and get training.
	11:09pm spodiodi: ↳ northguineahills @11:03 ya kinda lost me , ngh :-B it's fine. explaining jokes... kills them, i realize :)
	11:09pm Dean: One of the top three shows I've seen was Brötzmann with Full Blast at a tiny venue in Berkeley. Two seconds into the show I was rapt.
	11:11pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:07 the college i'm going to has their own radio station, but you have to major in communications to get a slot unfortunately since i'm majoring in accounting, i don't believe i would be able to get a slot on there, plus they only play alt rock afaik
	11:11pm Feldy: Digging this shit! Had to run into the grocery store, so needed this to erase the Shania Twain I had to hear
	11:11pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:07 training? tom roe asked me if I wanted to dj for a few hours on free103point9. I did so. (and would do so on and off for a quite a few years) (although I had been djing in various club/party/concert settings for a while at that point.)
	11:11pm Rich in Washington: This next track is even more noisy.
	11:13pm Dean: Holy hell, yes. His stuff with Defribillator is luscious.
	11:13pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:11 not sure if pirate radio is a thing. But at my university town, all of the interesting music was played there (although they had their equipment confiscated by the fcc twice in four years...
	11:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Feldy @11:11 I refer to stuff like Last Exit and more extreme stuff by Zorn as 'headcleaner'.
	11:14pm northguineahills: ↳ spodiodi @11:09 you said you were eating colecanthe....
	11:16pm Feldy: I used to DJ at a nightclub in Kalamazoo many years ago. Beat mixing on a CD setup, running disco lights. Fun time
	11:16pm ultradamno: RRRRRRadio, for pirates!
	11:18pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @11:13 that would be fun, but because i'm in the middle of absolute nowhere it's unfortunately out of the question could start my own, but i definitely don't have the time, money, or know-how to do it
	11:18pm ultradamno: ...do a show that is all stuff from RRRecords
	11:19pm Feldy: This is balls to the wall rad
	11:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:18 That's funny. Some of my KBOO comrades were discussing that very thing. Sadly my own collection is thin on that label.
	11:21pm spodiodi: ah, thanks, nhg. keep reminding myself: punctuation is as as reading, and typing :-B
	11:21pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @11:18 I'm missing an RRRecords comp b/c my roommate at the time got drunk and left it at a bar (someone saw him out and told him to give it to me).
	11:22pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:21 Ron's still rolling www.rrrecords.com
	11:22pm northguineahills: ↳ spodiodi @11:21 just as long as i can take your comments out of context, that's all that matters 😜
	11:22pm Rich in Washington: I was thinking of playing that clip of Jimmy Fallon taking a piss about the fact that he just learned that there's a record called Nipples but I find him intolerably annoying and simpering.
	11:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:21 and my friends think I'm an asshole for never lending out records.
	11:27pm Dean: What a moron, Fallon. Zero talent, zero charisma, zero skill as an interlocutor. His Brötzmann "joke" was more juvenile than most of the shit I spew.
	11:28pm Ike: A simpering drip, for sure.
	11:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @11:27 It just made me mad. It's like some sub normal wanna-be frat douche showing up at an avant garde show or art gallery.
	11:29pm ultradamno: I'd say Fallon's the worst, but the memory of Corden hasn't quite faded enough yet
	11:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:29 the bit where he plays some of it and the audience laughs at his stupid reaction.
	11:30pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:29 Is it just a thing where late night TV hosts have to be awful human beings?
	11:30pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:30 colbert seems alright, but i don't pay attention to late night tv
	11:31pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:26 it wasn't leant out, it was supposed to be a gift for me, so, I never got to listen to it...
	11:31pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:30 I like him but I haven't watched late night TV since Letterman on NBC, honestly.
	11:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:31 Ah. I'm still not lending out my records.
	11:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:29 if he earned one brotzmann convert that night, then, all's good in my book...
	11:33pm Dean: You credit Fallon with too many hyphenated epithets. No. He's a moron. But don't get me started. Television has spawned very, very few talented entertainers. Colbert, too, is a moron. Utterly talent-free. Jon Stewart resorted to the same ol' same ol'. Letterman: what a cocky, insufferable, not funny douchebag. But all of my opinions--which is all they are--are based on minimal viewing, because these hideous people were incapable of capturing my attention in a relatively short amount of time.
	11:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Fuck de Boere (Dedicated to Johnny Dyani) [excerp... apropos title for dyani (boers as in afrikaaner)
	11:34pm ironybread: "Fuck de Boere" is pretty much the greatest thing ever tonight
	11:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @11:34 I nearly forgot I had this. My records and CDs are in so much disarray. Horrible.
	11:37pm spodiodi: i set myself up for misunderstandings with my vagueness, ngh 🧑‍🎄
	11:38pm spodiodi: ↳ northguineahills @11:22 ^
	11:39pm Dean: At a Vision Festival c.1999 I hung out at the bar in the back of the venue, drinking beer with Peter Brötzmann. We chatted, but only briefly.
	11:41pm pot8o: gonna head out early, feeling really tired thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	11:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:41 nighty night pot8o!
	11:42pm Dean: Also saw the Tentet at Victo with Vandermark, Kondi, Drake, so many of the greats. Damn, no more.
	11:43pm Dean: Kondo
	11:43pm spodiodi: ↳ spodiodi @11:21 important... and i can't type or think any better, but at least i have new glasses mow (still adjusting, so no real improvement of output yet). ... but who knows, eventually, i may come scross more understandably ;-B to the future
	11:44pm spodiodi: ↳ pot8o @11:41 adios!
	11:44pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:41 later pot8o, have a great night!
	11:45pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @11:44 you too!
	11:54pm Rich in Washington: I'm not sure if this is the Last Exit performance where there's video of it, but in the one I'm thinking of, Sonny's riffing like nuts with sweat flying off of him, Laswell is charging across the stage like a lunatic, Jackson looks possessed and Brötzmann looks like some beast in transformation mode in John Carpenter's The Thing. It's fucking nuts. Wished I coulda seen them live.
	🥁 11:55pm WR: Thanks for the tracks, Rich. It's been a blast.
	11:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:54 t'would've been nice. saw the rest of the lineup in the band minus sharrock (big regret). boss of a show, rich, thanks!
	11:57pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for listening folks! Gonna get on mic and go a teensy bit over after.
	11:57pm spodiodi: thanks, Rich!
	11:58pm Dean: OTOH, I saw Fantomas at Victo. Not a good show. Laswell just ambles along, Lombardo was going through the motions, nothing more, and I don't like Mike Patton's shtick.
	11:59pm ironybread: Thanks again for a brain-melting playlist Rich!
	12:00am ultradamno: twitter.com...
	12:03am spodiodi: thanks, again, and goodnight Rich!
	12:03am spodiodi: and goodnight and thanks everyone else too 🙏
	12:04am Rich in Washington: Nighty night all! Thanks for listening!
	12:05am Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @11:58 dunno when you went to that show but Laswell's not doing too well. There's a go fund me out there for his health and survival of his studio space.
