	12:06pm spodiodi: or how long til we show up at his dock... Phillippe!

	🛎 12:07pm David (in London): Chresti, Spod, 3M, Hopey - wotcha. Handy, Spod - he's in the dock soon that's for sure.
	🛎 12:07pm Handy Haversack: After Julie's show yesterday, we're actually hurtling forward in time!
	🛎 12:07pm Hubig Pie: In 1985 I was an REM nerd
	🛎 12:08pm David (in London): Handy, four years of acceleration have given me a nosebleed. Wotcha Hubig.
	12:08pm drowsy: This is relevant to my interests... Excited for this show Mary!
	12:08pm Mary Wing: Hiya Bryant and Hubig! I was a REM nerd too, heh.
	12:08pm Sylvia: in 1985 I was all Madonna and discovering Depeche mode (I was 7)
	🛎 12:09pm Threemoons: Here for the total 80's vibe....
	🛎 12:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ding! Pledge month is here!
	🛎 12:09pm Handy Haversack: I was eight to nine. Just a D&D nerd. Well, and Dr. Who. Well, and Hitchhikers Guide. Well, and SFF in general. Surely something's changed in all that time?
	🛎 12:10pm Hubig Pie: Wotcha back atcha, DiL
	🛎 12:10pm David (in London): I remember going to see Siouxsie and The Banshees in October 1985. She had broken her leg, and so did the whole show sitting Marlene Dietrich style on a barstool. She was awesomeness personified.
	12:10pm Mary Wing: Hi drowsy! Let's see if what Julie said yesterday about feeling like '85 was when stuff started to get heavily overproduced is actually true, heh.
	🛎 12:11pm Hubig Pie: Ooo, I gots a nifty drum icon. Kewl
	12:11pm drowsy: 1985 was peak (or a peak) in Boston area college radio and all-ages shows there and in Providence, so it was a nice time to be in high school and have free time.
	12:11pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	12:12pm Troymo: Thanks for bringing the 80’s!
	12:12pm Mary Wing: Howdy Threemoons, KenfHP, doctorjazz and Troymo! We are here for jangly guitars!
	🛎 12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: S'goin' on ?! ...yes I know - Whatever... Well even Conjunct Mars the New Moon is refreshing feels to me...
	12:14pm spodiodi: David (in London), wotcha, and thanks for that Siouxsie story. what a memory!
	12:15pm drowsy: Mary, where did you do radio in 85? (and thank you for your service at that time and now. wow.)
	12:15pm Mary Wing: Disclosure: I couldn't find the damn power cord for the boom box in the picture, so it just a prop. I only listened to the actual tapes this morning here at the station. OH MY GOD, WHAT IS WITH MY 1985 VOICE!?!?! I don't think I can even play it for you, I sound too strange.
	12:16pm Hopey Sockmonkey: In 1985 I was 24/25. Buying LOTS of records and making many many mix tapes.
	12:16pm spodiodi: i think the egg design aethetic hadn't fully taken over small portable electronics in 1985 either, Mary (the snit in my head couldn't ignore it, and since you opened the door... i relayed the observation)
	12:17pm Hopey Sockmonkey: EBtG! Thank you for playing this. Love Not Money was so good.
	12:18pm Mary Wing: Hey there Rev Rab! New moons and new pledges are welcome here, so let me remind everyone that it is fundraising time again! Please make a pledge for Past Mary, who never once dreamed that she would be on WFMU in the future!
	🛎 12:18pm David (in London): Mary, if The Sisters of Mercy were part of this playlist I will have to propose marriage (again). Though you turned me down last time. sad face
	🛎 12:18pm David (in London): Hey Rev D.
	🛎 12:19pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Hi, David!
	12:20pm Mary Wing: Drowsy, I was on a couple of college stations in the boroughs, heh. Never made it to Manhattan radio, boo hoo.
	🛎 12:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1985. Into the liquid LSD ? Sometime that year - late I think - Left Home for good this time - all the way across the USA diagonally to Santa Barbara to be homeless for a year & 1/2 or something.
	12:21pm Mary Wing: No Sisters of Mercy today, sorry, David. Fiona remains your main squeeze for this week, heh.
	12:21pm Bryant in TO: Mere months old when this playlist would've aired, so any memories of Oct. '85 are buried deep in the recesses of my brain and only expressed in my lifelong fears of parental abandonment and rearranged furniture
	🛎 12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pretty good one-two act - Julie doing 1981 & now 1985.
	🛎 12:23pm Handy Haversack: Who's taking on 1989? Hoping for Continental Subway!
	12:25pm drowsy: Mary you probably influenced and entertained lots of folks who never made it into Manhattan, so that's all good! I did some time at WHPK in Chicago. So the only people hearing me at 3AM were waaaay downstate or in Indiana. Our signal couldn't make it past the first billboard on its way to the Loop.
	12:25pm Bryant in TO: Compared to Julie's '81 show, how much more gated reverb might we hear today?
	🛎 12:28pm Handy Haversack: It's been more than thirty-five years since I remembered the swan!
	12:28pm solo mon: Hello Mary ! Hello friends!
	🛎 12:28pm David (in London): So much good stuff came out on Homestead. And SST. Bloody great labels both.
	🛎 12:29pm chris in the redwoods: hello, Mary. hello, 1985. hello, everyone.
	🛎 12:29pm David (in London): The swan hasn't forgotten you though Handy. It's still holding a grudge, so watch yourself.
	12:29pm Mary Wing: Hi Solo Mon! Welcome to the GTDR family!
	🛎 12:30pm Handy Haversack: Spies for the queen, their owner, each and every one of them, David!
	🛎 12:32pm David (in London): Hey chris, solo mon.
	12:33pm solo mon: Thanks Mary- I feel so welcome here! Hey David!
	🛎 12:33pm Handy Haversack: A cool breeze as solo mon makes an entrance!
	12:33pm Mary Wing: Hello Chris in the redwoods! I think I wore gold lipstick in 1985, which made my yellow teeth look even yellower, heh.
	🛎 12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like where this is going.
	🛎 12:34pm chris in the redwoods: hey, David! Siouxsie, ftw!
	12:34pm Mary Wing: I have no memory at all of this band Crippled Pilgrims, heh.
	12:36pm Franco Twinkie: Good morning/afternoon Mary!
	12:36pm Stanley: Friends! I am unshackled from my labours. I've had an awful day at the coalface that only beer, roast cashews and loud music can put right.
	🛎 12:37pm Handy Haversack: Well, let's get to it, Stanley! (Actually going to have some cashews over here in a sec, too.)
	12:37pm chresti: In 1985 I was 28, listening to old r n' b, music from JA, dancehall, Yellowman...funk of course.
	12:38pm Stanley: Hi Handy. Fully clothed and at the office?
	12:38pm Mary Wing: Good morning Franco and good evening Stanley!
	🛎 12:38pm Handy Haversack: If I'm not, Stanley, it's too late to do anything about it.
	12:39pm chresti: KXLU, KCRW, were the stations I tuned into..
	12:40pm wendy del formaggio: Hello Mary. I’m at work so not too chatty. Just chiming in to say hi, and I love this set!
	12:41pm Stanley: Just soldier on, regardless, Hand.
	12:41pm Stanley: ..y
	12:41pm David in London: Hey Stanley. Put the shitty day behind you, you’re amongst friends now. Wrap that tie round your head and cut loose! Footloose.
	12:42pm doctorjazz: Stream?
	12:42pm Mary Wing: Hello Wendy!!! <3 <3 <3 Glad you are here with us!
	🛎 12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A few skips over to the robot stream. Back by itself.
	12:43pm Franco Twinkie: In 1986 I was thirty years old and listing to the back wash of punk, thrift store trash, Brit pop, first wave psych and of course TONS of cassettes of everything under the sun!
	12:45pm Stanley: David - absoluterly and thanks. Only respite was reading the comments on Ken's show, oh, and Shittyflute.
	12:45pm Stanley: I spent 1985 in India, so I have no standing regards comments for that year.
	🛎 12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo Wendy ! So Franco - you are b. 1956 Year of Fire Monkey ?
	12:46pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Fire Monkey?? I am jealous.
	12:47pm Franco Twinkie: July 1955 - two days before Disneyland opened.
	🛎 12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: OK - 1955 Year of Wood Sheep ~ Goat ~ Ram. Thx.
	12:49pm drowsy: I still have all my covid hair, up in a mini-bun. This show reminds me I should cut it (My daughter is campaigning...)
	12:50pm Franco Twinkie: RR, do my chart and help me figure out what the fuck is wrong with me
	12:50pm Mary Wing: Covid man-bun for the win, if you ask me.
	12:51pm Franco Twinkie: Don't do it Drowsy!
	12:51pm Mary Wing: Oops, I am presuming you are male, drowsy, forgive me if I'm wrong.
	12:51pm David in London: Xymox! Hell’s teeth Mary, great pick. Stayin’ alive in eighty five!
	🛎 12:52pm Handy Haversack: drowsy, I don’t advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.
	12:53pm ChukAmok: Didn't get a haircut for nearly eighteen months during covid and it was such a relief to finally go under the scissors three weeks after my second shot.
	12:53pm Franco Twinkie: Long hair is the roots of your brain looking for water.
	12:53pm ChukAmok: Point: Handy; Counterpoint: ChukAmok.
	12:53pm drowsy: No worries - the image isn't me but I'm in the he/him users club. I might do a euro deal where they clean up the edges but I get to retain the bun.
	12:54pm chresti: OLO Franco.
	12:54pm Mary Wing: Hiya ChukAmok! Did you get a mullet?
	12:55pm chresti: *and Handy
	12:55pm Franco Twinkie: I'm a wreck in all kinds of ways, but I still have a mop.
	12:55pm spodiodi: nice first hour, Mary!
	12:56pm ChukAmok: Hi Mary! No, just back to the old familiar. I have really thick hair and had never gone that long without getting it cut. It was becoming a chore. Almost cut it myself a couple times.
	12:57pm chresti: So, Franco, what map did you decide to eat your leftover sandwich on?
	12:58pm Franco Twinkie: San Francisco of course!
	🛎 12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Franco would love to see your Chart ! Let's get back to that...
	12:59pm drowsy: chresti I remember learning about Yellowman in 84-85 or so. good times! * whispers zungguzungguguzungguzeng to self *
	1:00pm Stanley: I thought, during the lockdowns, to grow all the hair on my head and see if I could 'style' it. Complete disaster. Dreams of a natty pony tail and handsome little twopiece evapourated and I am resigned to looking like an old man.
	1:00pm Franco Twinkie: July 19th at 7:42 AM to be precise.
	1:00pm chresti: One of the few things I managed to store in a place I could find them (our maps) Franco asked me where they were yesterday, I shouldn't of told him!
	1:01pm spodiodi: nice!
	1:01pm David in London: The ghost of Marys past!
	1:01pm Franco Twinkie: Chresi! This is commentary on the Chat last night. You were asleep.
	1:02pm spodiodi: vintage Mary Wing!
	1:02pm Webhamster Henry: I have so many old air check recordings...
	🛎 1:02pm Handy Haversack: How do I pledge to that show?!
	1:02pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oh wow, hearing your mic break from back then was great!
	1:02pm chresti: drowsy, I liked the song Beat It!
	1:03pm drowsy: Mary - you sounded great! People needed a clear back announce there was no internet you needed to have a pen at the ready if you wanted to shop for the stuff!
	🛎 1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Franco OK. Los Angeles ? BabyWing ! You sound treblier & I suppose the Persona hadn't emerged as much !
	1:04pm Franco Twinkie: Mary, the young you sounded so insouciant! The you of right now sounds like a real goofball. I like you way better now.
	1:04pm Mary Wing: I choose to think that the cassette tape has deteriorated to the point that my voice dropped a few registers, heh. Or maybe I had a sex change?
	1:04pm chresti: Darn, I missed Mary's back then mic break!
	1:05pm Stanley: Mary, I would send a stamped addressed envelope to a BBC Scotland DJ and he would send me the playlist. In 1985 I had dreadlocks!
	1:05pm Franco Twinkie: RR, yes.
	1:05pm Mary Wing: NO way to both things, Stanley!?!
	🛎 1:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh man. What's happened to Sheila Chandra is tragic & seems portentous. Incredible person.
	1:07pm Webhamster Henry: "Music from the Hearts of Space" used to end with the suggestion to send a SASE with the program number to get the (printed) playlist. Stephen Hill eventually went on The Well and put playlists there.
	1:08pm Stanley: I did nothing to my hair (except wash) for a whole year and they magically appeared.
	1:08pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oooo, more Tin Drum.
	1:08pm David in London: Japan! Oh bless you Mary.
	1:08pm ChukAmok: Not sure if I still have recordings of my high school radio show ca. '94-'98. Pre-recorded interviews with Superchunk, Modest Mouse, Atari Teenage Riot, Skavoovie and the Epitones, etc. still exist in storage.
	🛎 1:09pm Handy Haversack: Stanley, my hair would do that in HS and college. Wash every day, and it would still dread.
	1:09pm drowsy: OMG ChukAmok. nice!
	1:10pm David in London: I got into Japan for the incredibly shallow reason that I fancied Ruth Asher, and she was mad about them. In the end it was a passion that endured long and true. Hello Ruth if you’re listening...
	1:11pm Franco Twinkie: Handy, for me the price of having long hair is I have to stay up at night until it's dry, otherwise it's dread locks in the morning.
	1:13pm Billy Mince: I saw Scritti Politti play live just a week ago. Green's voice is still incredible. They did the entire Cupid and Psyche album.
	1:13pm Mary Wing: Don't you guys believe in conditioner? :-)
	🛎 1:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Franco: OK - got ya. Speaking of New Moons - you were born on one. Conjunct Uranus. 12th House. Cancer Stellium w/ Mercury & Venus in Cancer too. Leo Rising - w/ three planets in Leo. Your Saturn in Scorpio off by his lonesome... You can websearch those till we get email or some such to discuss @ length & I can translate Astrologese to Normal Language...
	1:14pm Mary Wing: Well, that was unexpected for Amor Fati.
	🛎 1:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& in the mid1980s - along came CDs...
	1:15pm Franco Twinkie: I condition! But still....
	1:15pm Mary Wing: Hi Billy Mince, that is so cool! Where was that? Are you in London?
	1:16pm doctorjazz: 80s a blank to me in rock/pop-was busy intensively checking out jazz (and working a whole lot...)
	1:16pm Franco Twinkie: Got it RR!
	🛎 1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Franco so I can add you to my list of friendly acquaintances with Sun Conjunct Uranus. :)
	1:17pm Franco Twinkie: Mid 80's I was banging hard. Started working in the film biz.
	1:18pm doctorjazz: Someone had to let me know that the song I liked a lot and heard everywhere (When Doves Cry) was by Prince...
	1:19pm Billy Mince: Hi Mary. Yes , I'm in London but saw them in Manchester. I think the tour might have finished now. They were superb - the encore was a version of Robert Wyatt's version of At Last I'm Free
	1:19pm Mary Wing: They told you the title was "When Dopes Cry" though, right, doctorjazz? ;-)
	1:20pm david w: Hello, Mary and all. Loving this!
	🛎 1:21pm Handy Haversack: RR, it is a mark of the maturity accruing to me with tomorrow's solar return that I totally refrain from making any sort of "where the sun don't shine"-related pun about that list. I humbly accept all accolades related to this fact.
	1:21pm Mary Wing: Hiya David W! <3 <3 <3
	1:22pm Stanley: Another beer Stanley?
	1:22pm Stanley: Yeah, go on.
	1:23pm Mary Wing: I would totally love to see Cupid & Psyche 85 performed live, dang it. Curses for living on the wrong continent!
	1:23pm chresti: Mary @113 or turbans?
	1:24pm Stanley: Try not to pour it on your trousers, this time.
	1:24pm David in London: Next best thing to The Sisters here Mary. Love this lot, too.
	1:26pm Mary Wing: And we are coming to the end of tape 1! Guess who is on tape 2! An unlikely segue is coming, since it is probably missing a song or two from the actual original show.
	🛎 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy - thing is - Uranus does correlate to eccentricity, disruption, individuality & liberation - as well as sudden insight & innovation. So it's not the least likely candidate for such associations. As it happens. Though Scorpio & Pluto are more assorted with one's Elimination system...
	🛎 1:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: 1985 subway tokens were 90¢ - www.nycsubway.org...
	🛎 1:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: You could walk around with brass in pocket.
	1:29pm David in London: We haven’t heard from The Furs yet...
	1:29pm Mary Wing: Were they still the cut-out Y tokens? I think not, but those are OG tokens in my mind, all others are usurpers.
	🛎 1:30pm Handy Haversack: Was mourning tokens with the dude at the turnstile at Summerstage last week in the park.
	1:30pm Mary Wing: No Furs, sadly, David.
	🛎 1:31pm Hubig Pie: The Fall ? Kate Bush ?
	1:32pm ChukAmok: Tokens were great. I wish they could have been used for more than just like the subway, like laundry, or a bushel of apples. Like NYC's very own currency.
	1:33pm ChukAmok: That comment had, like, a lot of "likes" in it.
	1:33pm Mary Wing: No Fall, and Kate was the very last track on side 2 of tape 2, and I fear I won't have time to play it, Hubig. If I can upload an expanded show to the archive, I will include it, and maybe some more old mic breaks, for extra cringe. ;-)
	1:33pm drowsy: In keeping with the nostalgia, saw the Fleshtones open for Echo and the Bunnymen in 85 or so, with a brave solo act - Billy Bragg.
	🛎 1:34pm Handy Haversack: You could throw like rolls of them at Red Sox outfielders, Chuk Amok, which is like an NYC currency.
	1:34pm Mary Wing: The smart phone has done that at last, Chuk, heh.
	1:35pm ChukAmok: Replacements?
	1:35pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Hearing this Eddie and the Hot Rods really takes me back. wistful sigh
	1:35pm Mary Wing: Now that is a strange bill, drowsy! Who was booking that club?
	1:35pm David in London: Blimey, didn’t see the Hot Rods coming.
	🛎 1:35pm Hubig Pie: Bitchen' Camaro ?
	1:36pm ChukAmok: @Handy The only time I'll ever see the Yanks is when they're playing the O's at Camden Yards.
	🛎 1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ! - saw BillyBragg open up for Bunnymen @ the orpheum in Boston on 1984. Who is this guy by himself with just an acoustic putting out all this energy ?!?
	1:36pm Mary Wing: No Replacements, either. Bitchin Camaro was in 85? Dang, that is old.
	1:36pm Stanley: Hayhay The Rods. Followed them around in the seventies!
	🛎 1:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Orpheum In Bawstin... Probly just as well not a lot of typical SST-ish Rawkist acts today. Maybe ?
	1:37pm ChukAmok: If the caption to the photo is a hint, then I will venture a guess with...Violent Femmes!
	1:38pm Franco Twinkie: What I particularly love about the music from back then, is the feeling of rushing wind pushing the narrative.
	1:38pm Mary Wing: Heh heh heh, nice one, Chuk, but no.
	1:39pm drowsy: RRN63 - YES. You have a better memory of it, that has to be the same show! (I could have my Fleshtone opener mixed up.)
	1:39pm Stanley: In Britain there was a big swell of frenetic R'n'B before punk broke.
	🛎 1:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: drowsy - in Bawstin - you too ?!
	🛎 1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stanley - like the PubRawk ?
	1:42pm drowsy: yep! up in the balcony. The bunnymen played the Channel like a month eariler? I was bummed that missed that one.
	🛎 1:43pm David (in London): Stanley, please be upstanding for Dr Feelgood.
	1:43pm doctorjazz: Lost you again for a short time.
	🛎 1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: drowsy we might have had sightlines on each other. I was wearing a black Bowie 'Man Who Sold the World' T-shirt. Surely you recall...
	1:44pm Mary Wing: Ah bummer, is the stream back up now?
	🛎 1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just a blip.
	1:47pm chresti: I love Dr. Feelgood's Mr. Moonlight!
	🛎 1:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: Are there any photos of 1985 Mary to add to the playlist? I'm sure that would ring up more pledges.
	1:49pm Stanley: Rev - absolutely, cheap and sweaty - Rods, Feelgoods, Ducks Deluxe, Nine Below Zero. Then the pub promoters started booking the 'punk' acts Damned, Pistols, Jam, and so on.
	1:50pm David in London: Love and hate in the English countryside. Ha ha. I remember plenty of both in ‘85.
	🛎 1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheJam had actually come out of that to some extent I'm told - went back to the early 70s !
	1:50pm Mary Wing: Nothing I could find in, oh, six to eight months, Ken, if even then. No idea where any of my old photos are, actually.
	🛎 1:51pm Bas NL: Hi Mary! 100% gang!
	1:51pm spodiodi: mid-show exhaustive hello list (in order of appearance): hello, Sylvia, Summer and Michael and Sylvia, WR, David (in London), βrian, Handy Haversack, Hopey Sockmonkey, chresti, Threemoons, Bryant in TO, Hubig Pie, drowsy, Ken From Hyde Park, doctorjazz, Troymo, Revolution Rabbit Nov63, solo mon, chris in the redwoods, Franco Twinkie, Stanley, wendy del formaggio, David in London, ChukAmok, Webhamster Henry, Billy Mince and david w, you're all 100% perfect. thank you (not soliciting replies, just acknowledging)
	1:51pm Stanley: David, SDr Feelgood, another band we followed around back then. Oil City Confidential is a great film portraying the times.
	1:51pm drowsy: RRN63 I remember being a dorky HS freshman in awe of all the cool people that could fill up a whole concert hall like that. I salute you for arriving already awesome.
	1:52pm Mary Wing: Hi Bas! Home at last?
	1:52pm chresti: Hi spodi\\//
	🛎 1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We did hear the HotRods... Hullo spodi !
	1:52pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oh hey, I saw that Echo & the Bunnymen tour with Billy Bragg as well in Berkeley. I was already VERY into Billy Bragg and excited to see him on a bigger stage.
	🛎 1:52pm Bas NL: Yes Mary! Time to relax and tune in! :)
	🛎 1:53pm Handy Haversack: Yo, spodi! Let's go to the instant reply!
	1:54pm Stanley: Nice to see you Spodi
	1:54pm spodiodi: Mary, on old pics: i have very few of myself (at least in any kind of a natural setting). i was just having words (in my mind) with m'lady about this yesterday shakes fist "in case ya didn't happen to notice, i'm one hell of a gorgeous chick"
	🛎 1:54pm chris in the redwoods: hey, spodi! :)
	1:56pm David in London: Hey Bas. Stanley, I went to the premier of that. The band played live beforehand, with Alison Moyet filling in for Lee. She was amazing, possibly the best replacement ever. Would have loved to have seen them in their 70s glory days, though. Ever seen this? On home soil... https://youtu.be/GzF0AETdRF8 Were you there?
	🛎 1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: REM's Crazy my current earwurm - so Thx.
	🛎 1:56pm Handy Haversack: LOVE this cover!
	1:57pm Mary Wing: And remember that we only had film cameras back then, so it wasn't like you would take lots of pictures of any one event or person like folks do today with their new-fangled contraptions. They got a camera in RayBan sunglasses now!!
	🛎 1:57pm Bas NL: Ohw, yes! The '85 recreation show; nice!
	1:58pm spodiodi: please lead the way, Handy! (i have no idea what you mean. it will drive me crazy until i do. mercy.)
	1:58pm Stanley: David - far fucking out, man. And I wish. Watched that vid many a time. Just love Lee's filthy white suit.
	🛎 1:59pm Handy Haversack: I was riffing on "instant replay." I wasn't totally happy with it either. K8 and I were saying it seems like no one ever talks about 10,000 Maniacs anymore.
	1:59pm spodiodi: indeed, Mary. i have a bag of old undeveloped film from ~1990-91 (maybe 20 rolls or so.... mostly of New Orleans)
	2:00pm Stanley: Woohoo Maniacs! Love 10,000 Maniacs, Mary (and Natalie but don't tell anyone). Ooops.
	🛎 2:00pm Handy Haversack: OK, we admittedly hadn't brought it up with Stanley.
	2:01pm Mary Wing: What are the chances that those rolls are still able to be developed, spodi? Seems like there must be a window of opportunity which closes at some point?
	🛎 2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Creek & Kills in fact have reminded me a little of perhaps a more arch less MOR Natalie & the Maniacs...
	2:01pm spodiodi: ah... instant reply like in sports, Handy? if so gotcha (i'm not slow, i'm just drawn that way. and sports confound me.)
	2:01pm Stanley: handy - I somehow got the feeling that Natalie Merchant is persona non grata on FMU.
	🛎 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not to overdo the comparison - but K8's timbre & phrasing are not entirely dissimilar to Natalie's...
	🛎 2:02pm Handy Haversack: Huh. I wonder what that's about. Did she break the coffee pot Joe Strummer touched?
	2:03pm David in London: Yeah, really enjoyed that Maniacs.
	2:04pm spodiodi: Mary, i was going to mention taking bets... i have no idea... most photography people i know have expressed similar concerns. a guy who's business it is to develop film, told me he thinks it could go either way... with likely significant loss. i kind of agree with him. i bet that some develop okay. i'll report back if i ever get around to dealing with the fear.
	2:05pm Stanley: Haha Handy. Don't know. A friend of mine who used to listen to FMU told me she once requested NM, and got a short rebuke (don't remember the dj) Anyway balls to that Unplugged is one of my all time favourite albums.
	2:06pm spodiodi: i have love/hate for 10K Maniacs
	🛎 2:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Natalie Merchant born exactly a week before myself - so Scorpio Sistah & then some ...Johnny Marr but three days before me on Halloween 1963...
	🛎 2:06pm Handy Haversack: Like 5,000 of each, spodi?
	2:07pm spodiodi: approximately, Handy. it mostly depends on my mood :-B
	🛎 2:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull yer '85 playlist is totally bitchen.
	2:08pm spodiodi: DJ Mary FTW!
	2:10pm spodiodi: 3rd set should be great with this start!
	2:12pm Mary Wing: I would think the film closer to the center of the roll would be in better shape since less air/dust/whathaveyou can get to it, but maybe it is an all-or-nothing deal with each particular roll of film.
	2:14pm Michael 98145: Huzza
	🛎 2:14pm chris in the redwoods: love this surf-skank
	2:14pm Michael 98145: yes
	2:14pm spodiodi: that makes sense, Mary amen, chris!
	2:14pm spodiodi: YES FISHBONE!
	2:15pm spodiodi: YES. no one plays this song! thanks MARY!!!!
	2:15pm Mary Wing: Hello Michael 98145! Just in time for three of a... oh wait, that didn't happen in 1985.
	2:15pm spodiodi: to 1985 Mary!
	2:15pm Mary Wing: I DID, spodiodi!
	🛎 2:16pm Handy Haversack: Fishbone!
	2:16pm spodiodi: B^D and i love you for it, Mary!
	2:16pm Mary Wing: These are the voices...
	2:17pm spodiodi: i think the date should be 1985 though! THEEESE ARE THE VOICES
	2:18pm spodiodi: i'm shaking. today will be a good day :D
	2:18pm spodiodi: AMEN
	2:18pm Mary Wing: How many station IDs do they say on this song?
	2:20pm spodiodi: never counted. i used to love hearing all the CA station ids that i didn't really know at all. then running into many of them again, once i moved to ca was a kick. i love the chaos in that recording
	2:22pm David in London: Damn, you were killing it in ‘85 Mary. And again ‘21.
	2:23pm spodiodi: murdermuredermurder! killkillkill!
	2:24pm Mary Wing: Did you know of The Lucy Show, David? I liked them because they were almost cloning The Cure down to the Robert Smith's vocals, heh.
	🛎 2:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seriously yer playlist has aged well.
	2:26pm Mary Wing: I'm glad I was able to find most of the songs; playing the actual tapes would have sounded awful on air.
	2:26pm spodiodi: i didn't know The Lucy Show until today, but thought that it sounded like the singer from Dramarama when it first began to play
	2:26pm David in London: I saw them open for someone Mary, but I’m wracking my brains to remember who. Monochrome Set maybe?
	2:27pm spodiodi: i bet you're right Mary, but hearing your voice from then was really cool! :D
	2:29pm doctorjazz: Hey, a group/album/song I know and love, ahhhh!
	2:31pm ChukAmok: Hey @Spodiodi! Is the old undeveloped film you have B&W? I'm finally getting some new developer since the covid-19 chemistry drought and would be happy to run a couple of rolls for you.
	2:33pm spodiodi: thanks, ChukAmok! very nice of you to offer. i think they're all color though
	2:33pm drowsy: Gotta run - thanks for being active all this time Mary! Cheers to everyone sharing this ride today.
	2:34pm Michael 98145: this -really-brings back the times
	🛎 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: late drowsy !
	2:34pm Mary Wing: Toodles, drowsy!
	2:36pm ChukAmok: @Spodiodi No worries at all! If they are 30-year old rolls of color negs and they haven't been refrigerated that whole time then my best bet is that the color has likely wildly shifted to magenta. Never know until you try though!
	2:37pm Mary Wing: I might look better with magenta skin, heh.
	2:37pm Ike: Hmmm, where are my 1993-97 college radio playlists? I hope I haven’t lost them.
	🛎 2:37pm Handy Haversack: SIOUXSIE!
	🛎 2:37pm Bas NL: Didn't know this Siouxsie track.. great!
	2:39pm spodiodi: i agree with Handy
	2:39pm Mary Wing: Hi Ike! You have paper playlists? I think I might still have mine but I tried to make sure that the cassettes had printed playlists in the cases.
	2:39pm chresti: A photographer friend of ours said his stock pile of old b&w polaroid film fetches a good price these days.
	🛎 2:39pm chris in the redwoods: oh wow, Skinny Puppy!
	🛎 2:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neither Siouxsie nor the Banshees have ever failed that I know of.
	2:40pm coelacanth∅: greetings Mary and 100%ers no 3ok?
	2:41pm Mary Wing: Hiya coelacanth! 3oak didn't exist in 1985, sorry!
	2:41pm Michael 98145: great set !
	2:41pm spodiodi: ChukAmok, i like Magenta :) i'll keep my expectations low
	🛎 2:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Covers were not invented until 1988, as I recall.
	2:41pm ChukAmok: Today is a special day for the 100%, coel! Mary is sharing from her personal archive of early broadcasts!
	2:42pm spodiodi: olo KFHP
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: so, ~45ok?
	2:43pm coelacanth∅: oh wow okay ChukAmok Thanks!
	2:43pm David in London: Hey Coela.
	2:44pm Mary Wing: Can everybody see the drum icon on some folks' posts? I only see a square with code in it. The drum icon means a pledge to Give The Drummer Radio, so thanks if you have that icon even if I can't see it!
	2:44pm spodiodi: greets, coelacanth∅
	2:44pm ChukAmok: @spodiodi the magenta happens because the cyan and yellow layers in the emulsion fade over time.
	🛎 2:45pm Handy Haversack: Yo, coela. Yup, I'm seeing drums. Just like in my secret toxic-waste-disposal cave. I've said too much.
	🛎 2:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well... another pledgedrive & still no income. So - Drummer Icons - my gratitude as well.
	2:45pm chresti: Mary, non of the pledge badges are showing up for me other than the pumpkin.
	2:46pm spodiodi: Mary, i can see 'em (it sounds like you are missing that emoji -- happens to me all the time on my old mac laptop -- checking now, but i think thee drummer emoji is missing in that case (old version od MacOS))
	2:46pm Stanley: It's how you keep that year-round tan, Handy.
	2:46pm chresti: *none
	🛎 2:47pm Bas NL: Tupelo!
	🛎 2:47pm chris in the redwoods: oh hell yeah.
	2:47pm Mary Wing: Yeah, I am on an old laptop so that is probably why, spodiodi. I saw them yesterday on Julie's playlist while I was on my work computer.
	2:47pm Hopey Sockmonkey: So many clicky stars on this show!
	2:48pm coelacanth∅: i too have old film undeveloped. around 23 years ago i guess. 2 color 2 b/w. my experience with old b/w is that it might get a haziness to it. i have little clue what i shot so i don't know if that'll be good or not. ...probably not. hi David, Handy, spodi, y'all!
	🛎 2:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Still a little BirthdayParty around the edges...
	2:48pm spodiodi: Mary, just verified on my old mac -- i see the same missing/broken icon there (blem it on the client machines)
	🛎 2:48pm Handy Haversack: I love this song so much.
	2:48pm David in London: Barry Adamson in the house!
	2:49pm spodiodi: Handy, extra chips again? for Nick?
	🛎 2:49pm Handy Haversack: Seems like it's never been played during the playlist era? Or at least no one clicky-starred it until the discerning 100 percenters!
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: icons show on this ancient windows laptop, despite so many other things that don't function properly
	🛎 2:50pm Bas NL: I've got the 7''. Well played.
	🛎 2:50pm βrian: I could use a 🥃 about now.
	🛎 2:51pm Handy Haversack: Ah, first time the album version has been played.
	2:51pm Mary Wing: Tupelo has been played by six other DJs, just on other albums/singles.
	2:52pm Michael 98145: U-Men! Local heroes!
	2:53pm spodiodi: if i had a nickel for every time i clicked to highlight a missing emoji, then searched duckduck for it, i could buy a new mac ... (what did they say/mean???) every day
	2:53pm I k e: @Mary@1:39, some paper playlists, but not comprehensive. Sounds like you were a lot more organized than I was. I only taped some of my shows.
	2:54pm Mary Wing: I'll put the picture of the tape cases now, so you can see which songs I missed.
	2:54pm David in London: Ha ha ha, 999! What a left hook.
	2:54pm Franco Twinkie: This is so sweet!
	🛎 2:55pm Handy Haversack: Great show today, Mary! Or I guess rather great shows back then! 100 percent in any case. Thanks! Keep on flying, O Wing'd Chariots.
	🛎 2:55pm βrian: @spodiodi: Here's a handy free utility: earthlingsoft.net...
	2:55pm coelacanth∅: Mary were you really using sony cassettes? - they still play?
	2:55pm spodiodi: i take my 1985 BigFoot puffy trucker hat off to your 1985 show today, Mary Wing! this has been really fun! 100% Forever!

Your DJ from 1985 speaks	backannouncing					Okay, I am putting one of the original mic breaks in the archive; you can hear the difference in the end of the Del Amitri song to show how distorted the tape has gotten in 36 years, heh. But at least it sounds better than the bit I played in the next "real" mic break!	0:16:44 (Pop-up)

Music behind DJ: Low	Hatchet (Optimimi Version) (Wing edit)					News flash: my 1985 voice does NOT sound like that! I discovered later that the "tape speed" dial on the cassette player had been turned down so the tape played slower than normal! When I adjusted the speed, my golden radio voice returned!

	🛎 12:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Ding! Pledge month is here!
	🛎 12:09pm Handy Haversack: I was eight to nine. Just a D&D nerd. Well, and Dr. Who. Well, and Hitchhikers Guide. Well, and SFF in general. Surely something's changed in all that time?
	🛎 12:10pm Hubig Pie: Wotcha back atcha, DiL
	🛎 12:10pm David (in London): I remember going to see Siouxsie and The Banshees in October 1985. She had broken her leg, and so did the whole show sitting Marlene Dietrich style on a barstool. She was awesomeness personified.
	12:10pm Mary Wing: Hi drowsy! Let's see if what Julie said yesterday about feeling like '85 was when stuff started to get heavily overproduced is actually true, heh.
	🛎 12:11pm Hubig Pie: Ooo, I gots a nifty drum icon. Kewl
	12:11pm drowsy: 1985 was peak (or a peak) in Boston area college radio and all-ages shows there and in Providence, so it was a nice time to be in high school and have free time.
	12:11pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	12:12pm Troymo: Thanks for bringing the 80’s!
	12:12pm Mary Wing: Howdy Threemoons, KenfHP, doctorjazz and Troymo! We are here for jangly guitars!
	🛎 12:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: S'goin' on ?! ...yes I know - Whatever... Well even Conjunct Mars the New Moon is refreshing feels to me...
	12:14pm spodiodi: David (in London), wotcha, and thanks for that Siouxsie story. what a memory!
	12:15pm drowsy: Mary, where did you do radio in 85? (and thank you for your service at that time and now. wow.)
	12:15pm Mary Wing: Disclosure: I couldn't find the damn power cord for the boom box in the picture, so it just a prop. I only listened to the actual tapes this morning here at the station. OH MY GOD, WHAT IS WITH MY 1985 VOICE!?!?! I don't think I can even play it for you, I sound too strange.
	12:16pm Hopey Sockmonkey: In 1985 I was 24/25. Buying LOTS of records and making many many mix tapes.
	12:16pm spodiodi: i think the egg design aethetic hadn't fully taken over small portable electronics in 1985 either, Mary (the snit in my head couldn't ignore it, and since you opened the door... i relayed the observation)
	12:17pm Hopey Sockmonkey: EBtG! Thank you for playing this. Love Not Money was so good.
	12:18pm Mary Wing: Hey there Rev Rab! New moons and new pledges are welcome here, so let me remind everyone that it is fundraising time again! Please make a pledge for Past Mary, who never once dreamed that she would be on WFMU in the future!
	🛎 12:18pm David (in London): Mary, if The Sisters of Mercy were part of this playlist I will have to propose marriage (again). Though you turned me down last time. sad face
	🛎 12:18pm David (in London): Hey Rev D.
	🛎 12:19pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Hi, David!
	12:20pm Mary Wing: Drowsy, I was on a couple of college stations in the boroughs, heh. Never made it to Manhattan radio, boo hoo.
	🛎 12:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1985. Into the liquid LSD ? Sometime that year - late I think - Left Home for good this time - all the way across the USA diagonally to Santa Barbara to be homeless for a year & 1/2 or something.
	12:21pm Mary Wing: No Sisters of Mercy today, sorry, David. Fiona remains your main squeeze for this week, heh.
	12:21pm Bryant in TO: Mere months old when this playlist would've aired, so any memories of Oct. '85 are buried deep in the recesses of my brain and only expressed in my lifelong fears of parental abandonment and rearranged furniture
	🛎 12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pretty good one-two act - Julie doing 1981 & now 1985.
	🛎 12:23pm Handy Haversack: Who's taking on 1989? Hoping for Continental Subway!
	12:25pm drowsy: Mary you probably influenced and entertained lots of folks who never made it into Manhattan, so that's all good! I did some time at WHPK in Chicago. So the only people hearing me at 3AM were waaaay downstate or in Indiana. Our signal couldn't make it past the first billboard on its way to the Loop.
	12:25pm Bryant in TO: Compared to Julie's '81 show, how much more gated reverb might we hear today?
	🛎 12:28pm Handy Haversack: It's been more than thirty-five years since I remembered the swan!
	12:28pm solo mon: Hello Mary ! Hello friends!
	🛎 12:28pm David (in London): So much good stuff came out on Homestead. And SST. Bloody great labels both.
	🛎 12:29pm chris in the redwoods: hello, Mary. hello, 1985. hello, everyone.
	🛎 12:29pm David (in London): The swan hasn't forgotten you though Handy. It's still holding a grudge, so watch yourself.
	12:29pm Mary Wing: Hi Solo Mon! Welcome to the GTDR family!
	🛎 12:30pm Handy Haversack: Spies for the queen, their owner, each and every one of them, David!
	🛎 12:32pm David (in London): Hey chris, solo mon.
	12:33pm solo mon: Thanks Mary- I feel so welcome here! Hey David!
	🛎 12:33pm Handy Haversack: A cool breeze as solo mon makes an entrance!
	12:33pm Mary Wing: Hello Chris in the redwoods! I think I wore gold lipstick in 1985, which made my yellow teeth look even yellower, heh.
	🛎 12:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like where this is going.
	🛎 12:34pm chris in the redwoods: hey, David! Siouxsie, ftw!
	12:34pm Mary Wing: I have no memory at all of this band Crippled Pilgrims, heh.
	12:36pm Franco Twinkie: Good morning/afternoon Mary!
	12:36pm Stanley: Friends! I am unshackled from my labours. I've had an awful day at the coalface that only beer, roast cashews and loud music can put right.
	🛎 12:37pm Handy Haversack: Well, let's get to it, Stanley! (Actually going to have some cashews over here in a sec, too.)
	12:37pm chresti: In 1985 I was 28, listening to old r n' b, music from JA, dancehall, Yellowman...funk of course.
	12:38pm Stanley: Hi Handy. Fully clothed and at the office?
	12:38pm Mary Wing: Good morning Franco and good evening Stanley!
	🛎 12:38pm Handy Haversack: If I'm not, Stanley, it's too late to do anything about it.
	12:39pm chresti: KXLU, KCRW, were the stations I tuned into..
	12:40pm wendy del formaggio: Hello Mary. I’m at work so not too chatty. Just chiming in to say hi, and I love this set!
	12:41pm Stanley: Just soldier on, regardless, Hand.
	12:41pm Stanley: ..y
	12:41pm David in London: Hey Stanley. Put the shitty day behind you, you’re amongst friends now. Wrap that tie round your head and cut loose! Footloose.
	12:42pm doctorjazz: Stream?
	12:42pm Mary Wing: Hello Wendy!!! <3 <3 <3 Glad you are here with us!
	🛎 12:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A few skips over to the robot stream. Back by itself.
	12:43pm Franco Twinkie: In 1986 I was thirty years old and listing to the back wash of punk, thrift store trash, Brit pop, first wave psych and of course TONS of cassettes of everything under the sun!
	12:45pm Stanley: David - absoluterly and thanks. Only respite was reading the comments on Ken's show, oh, and Shittyflute.
	12:45pm Stanley: I spent 1985 in India, so I have no standing regards comments for that year.
	🛎 12:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hullo Wendy ! So Franco - you are b. 1956 Year of Fire Monkey ?
	12:46pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Fire Monkey?? I am jealous.
	12:47pm Franco Twinkie: July 1955 - two days before Disneyland opened.
	🛎 12:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: OK - 1955 Year of Wood Sheep ~ Goat ~ Ram. Thx.
	12:49pm drowsy: I still have all my covid hair, up in a mini-bun. This show reminds me I should cut it (My daughter is campaigning...)
	12:50pm Franco Twinkie: RR, do my chart and help me figure out what the fuck is wrong with me
	12:50pm Mary Wing: Covid man-bun for the win, if you ask me.
	12:51pm Franco Twinkie: Don't do it Drowsy!
	12:51pm Mary Wing: Oops, I am presuming you are male, drowsy, forgive me if I'm wrong.
	12:51pm David in London: Xymox! Hell’s teeth Mary, great pick. Stayin’ alive in eighty five!
	🛎 12:52pm Handy Haversack: drowsy, I don’t advise a haircut, man. All hairdressers are in the employment of the government. Hairs are your aerials. They pick up signals from the cosmos, and transmit them directly into the brain. This is the reason bald-headed men are uptight.
	12:53pm ChukAmok: Didn't get a haircut for nearly eighteen months during covid and it was such a relief to finally go under the scissors three weeks after my second shot.
	12:53pm Franco Twinkie: Long hair is the roots of your brain looking for water.
	12:53pm ChukAmok: Point: Handy; Counterpoint: ChukAmok.
	12:53pm drowsy: No worries - the image isn't me but I'm in the he/him users club. I might do a euro deal where they clean up the edges but I get to retain the bun.
	12:54pm chresti: OLO Franco.
	12:54pm Mary Wing: Hiya ChukAmok! Did you get a mullet?
	12:55pm chresti: *and Handy
	12:55pm Franco Twinkie: I'm a wreck in all kinds of ways, but I still have a mop.
	12:55pm spodiodi: nice first hour, Mary!
	12:56pm ChukAmok: Hi Mary! No, just back to the old familiar. I have really thick hair and had never gone that long without getting it cut. It was becoming a chore. Almost cut it myself a couple times.
	12:57pm chresti: So, Franco, what map did you decide to eat your leftover sandwich on?
	12:58pm Franco Twinkie: San Francisco of course!
	🛎 12:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Franco would love to see your Chart ! Let's get back to that...
	12:59pm drowsy: chresti I remember learning about Yellowman in 84-85 or so. good times! * whispers zungguzungguguzungguzeng to self *
	1:00pm Stanley: I thought, during the lockdowns, to grow all the hair on my head and see if I could 'style' it. Complete disaster. Dreams of a natty pony tail and handsome little twopiece evapourated and I am resigned to looking like an old man.
	1:00pm Franco Twinkie: July 19th at 7:42 AM to be precise.
	1:00pm chresti: One of the few things I managed to store in a place I could find them (our maps) Franco asked me where they were yesterday, I shouldn't of told him!
	1:01pm spodiodi: nice!
	1:01pm David in London: The ghost of Marys past!
	1:01pm Franco Twinkie: Chresi! This is commentary on the Chat last night. You were asleep.
	1:02pm spodiodi: vintage Mary Wing!
	1:02pm Webhamster Henry: I have so many old air check recordings...
	🛎 1:02pm Handy Haversack: How do I pledge to that show?!
	1:02pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oh wow, hearing your mic break from back then was great!
	1:02pm chresti: drowsy, I liked the song Beat It!
	1:03pm drowsy: Mary - you sounded great! People needed a clear back announce there was no internet you needed to have a pen at the ready if you wanted to shop for the stuff!
	🛎 1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Franco OK. Los Angeles ? BabyWing ! You sound treblier & I suppose the Persona hadn't emerged as much !
	1:04pm Franco Twinkie: Mary, the young you sounded so insouciant! The you of right now sounds like a real goofball. I like you way better now.
	1:04pm Mary Wing: I choose to think that the cassette tape has deteriorated to the point that my voice dropped a few registers, heh. Or maybe I had a sex change?
	1:04pm chresti: Darn, I missed Mary's back then mic break!
	1:05pm Stanley: Mary, I would send a stamped addressed envelope to a BBC Scotland DJ and he would send me the playlist. In 1985 I had dreadlocks!
	1:05pm Franco Twinkie: RR, yes.
	1:05pm Mary Wing: NO way to both things, Stanley!?!
	🛎 1:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh man. What's happened to Sheila Chandra is tragic & seems portentous. Incredible person.
	1:07pm Webhamster Henry: "Music from the Hearts of Space" used to end with the suggestion to send a SASE with the program number to get the (printed) playlist. Stephen Hill eventually went on The Well and put playlists there.
	1:08pm Stanley: I did nothing to my hair (except wash) for a whole year and they magically appeared.
	1:08pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oooo, more Tin Drum.
	1:08pm David in London: Japan! Oh bless you Mary.
	1:08pm ChukAmok: Not sure if I still have recordings of my high school radio show ca. '94-'98. Pre-recorded interviews with Superchunk, Modest Mouse, Atari Teenage Riot, Skavoovie and the Epitones, etc. still exist in storage.
	🛎 1:09pm Handy Haversack: Stanley, my hair would do that in HS and college. Wash every day, and it would still dread.
	1:09pm drowsy: OMG ChukAmok. nice!
	1:10pm David in London: I got into Japan for the incredibly shallow reason that I fancied Ruth Asher, and she was mad about them. In the end it was a passion that endured long and true. Hello Ruth if you’re listening...
	1:11pm Franco Twinkie: Handy, for me the price of having long hair is I have to stay up at night until it's dry, otherwise it's dread locks in the morning.
	1:13pm Billy Mince: I saw Scritti Politti play live just a week ago. Green's voice is still incredible. They did the entire Cupid and Psyche album.
	1:13pm Mary Wing: Don't you guys believe in conditioner? :-)
	🛎 1:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Franco: OK - got ya. Speaking of New Moons - you were born on one. Conjunct Uranus. 12th House. Cancer Stellium w/ Mercury & Venus in Cancer too. Leo Rising - w/ three planets in Leo. Your Saturn in Scorpio off by his lonesome... You can websearch those till we get email or some such to discuss @ length & I can translate Astrologese to Normal Language...
	1:14pm Mary Wing: Well, that was unexpected for Amor Fati.
	🛎 1:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& in the mid1980s - along came CDs...
	1:15pm Franco Twinkie: I condition! But still....
	1:15pm Mary Wing: Hi Billy Mince, that is so cool! Where was that? Are you in London?
	1:16pm doctorjazz: 80s a blank to me in rock/pop-was busy intensively checking out jazz (and working a whole lot...)
	1:16pm Franco Twinkie: Got it RR!
	🛎 1:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Franco so I can add you to my list of friendly acquaintances with Sun Conjunct Uranus. :)
	1:17pm Franco Twinkie: Mid 80's I was banging hard. Started working in the film biz.
	1:18pm doctorjazz: Someone had to let me know that the song I liked a lot and heard everywhere (When Doves Cry) was by Prince...
	1:19pm Billy Mince: Hi Mary. Yes , I'm in London but saw them in Manchester. I think the tour might have finished now. They were superb - the encore was a version of Robert Wyatt's version of At Last I'm Free
	1:19pm Mary Wing: They told you the title was "When Dopes Cry" though, right, doctorjazz? ;-)
	1:20pm david w: Hello, Mary and all. Loving this!
	🛎 1:21pm Handy Haversack: RR, it is a mark of the maturity accruing to me with tomorrow's solar return that I totally refrain from making any sort of "where the sun don't shine"-related pun about that list. I humbly accept all accolades related to this fact.
	1:21pm Mary Wing: Hiya David W! <3 <3 <3
	1:22pm Stanley: Another beer Stanley?
	1:22pm Stanley: Yeah, go on.
	1:23pm Mary Wing: I would totally love to see Cupid & Psyche 85 performed live, dang it. Curses for living on the wrong continent!
	1:23pm chresti: Mary @113 or turbans?
	1:24pm Stanley: Try not to pour it on your trousers, this time.
	1:24pm David in London: Next best thing to The Sisters here Mary. Love this lot, too.
	1:26pm Mary Wing: And we are coming to the end of tape 1! Guess who is on tape 2! An unlikely segue is coming, since it is probably missing a song or two from the actual original show.
	🛎 1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy - thing is - Uranus does correlate to eccentricity, disruption, individuality & liberation - as well as sudden insight & innovation. So it's not the least likely candidate for such associations. As it happens. Though Scorpio & Pluto are more assorted with one's Elimination system...
	🛎 1:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: 1985 subway tokens were 90¢ - www.nycsubway.org...
	🛎 1:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: You could walk around with brass in pocket.
	1:29pm David in London: We haven’t heard from The Furs yet...
	1:29pm Mary Wing: Were they still the cut-out Y tokens? I think not, but those are OG tokens in my mind, all others are usurpers.
	🛎 1:30pm Handy Haversack: Was mourning tokens with the dude at the turnstile at Summerstage last week in the park.
	1:30pm Mary Wing: No Furs, sadly, David.
	🛎 1:31pm Hubig Pie: The Fall ? Kate Bush ?
	1:32pm ChukAmok: Tokens were great. I wish they could have been used for more than just like the subway, like laundry, or a bushel of apples. Like NYC's very own currency.
	1:33pm ChukAmok: That comment had, like, a lot of "likes" in it.
	1:33pm Mary Wing: No Fall, and Kate was the very last track on side 2 of tape 2, and I fear I won't have time to play it, Hubig. If I can upload an expanded show to the archive, I will include it, and maybe some more old mic breaks, for extra cringe. ;-)
	1:33pm drowsy: In keeping with the nostalgia, saw the Fleshtones open for Echo and the Bunnymen in 85 or so, with a brave solo act - Billy Bragg.
	🛎 1:34pm Handy Haversack: You could throw like rolls of them at Red Sox outfielders, Chuk Amok, which is like an NYC currency.
	1:34pm Mary Wing: The smart phone has done that at last, Chuk, heh.
	1:35pm ChukAmok: Replacements?
	1:35pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Hearing this Eddie and the Hot Rods really takes me back. wistful sigh
	1:35pm Mary Wing: Now that is a strange bill, drowsy! Who was booking that club?
	1:35pm David in London: Blimey, didn’t see the Hot Rods coming.
	🛎 1:35pm Hubig Pie: Bitchen' Camaro ?
	1:36pm ChukAmok: @Handy The only time I'll ever see the Yanks is when they're playing the O's at Camden Yards.
	🛎 1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ! - saw BillyBragg open up for Bunnymen @ the orpheum in Boston on 1984. Who is this guy by himself with just an acoustic putting out all this energy ?!?
	1:36pm Mary Wing: No Replacements, either. Bitchin Camaro was in 85? Dang, that is old.
	1:36pm Stanley: Hayhay The Rods. Followed them around in the seventies!
	🛎 1:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *Orpheum In Bawstin... Probly just as well not a lot of typical SST-ish Rawkist acts today. Maybe ?
	1:37pm ChukAmok: If the caption to the photo is a hint, then I will venture a guess with...Violent Femmes!
	1:38pm Franco Twinkie: What I particularly love about the music from back then, is the feeling of rushing wind pushing the narrative.
	1:38pm Mary Wing: Heh heh heh, nice one, Chuk, but no.
	1:39pm drowsy: RRN63 - YES. You have a better memory of it, that has to be the same show! (I could have my Fleshtone opener mixed up.)
	1:39pm Stanley: In Britain there was a big swell of frenetic R'n'B before punk broke.
	🛎 1:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: drowsy - in Bawstin - you too ?!
	🛎 1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stanley - like the PubRawk ?
	1:42pm drowsy: yep! up in the balcony. The bunnymen played the Channel like a month eariler? I was bummed that missed that one.
	🛎 1:43pm David (in London): Stanley, please be upstanding for Dr Feelgood.
	1:43pm doctorjazz: Lost you again for a short time.
	🛎 1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: drowsy we might have had sightlines on each other. I was wearing a black Bowie 'Man Who Sold the World' T-shirt. Surely you recall...
	1:44pm Mary Wing: Ah bummer, is the stream back up now?
	🛎 1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Just a blip.
	1:47pm chresti: I love Dr. Feelgood's Mr. Moonlight!
	🛎 1:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: Are there any photos of 1985 Mary to add to the playlist? I'm sure that would ring up more pledges.
	1:49pm Stanley: Rev - absolutely, cheap and sweaty - Rods, Feelgoods, Ducks Deluxe, Nine Below Zero. Then the pub promoters started booking the 'punk' acts Damned, Pistols, Jam, and so on.
	1:50pm David in London: Love and hate in the English countryside. Ha ha. I remember plenty of both in ‘85.
	🛎 1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheJam had actually come out of that to some extent I'm told - went back to the early 70s !
	1:50pm Mary Wing: Nothing I could find in, oh, six to eight months, Ken, if even then. No idea where any of my old photos are, actually.
	🛎 1:51pm Bas NL: Hi Mary! 100% gang!
	1:51pm spodiodi: mid-show exhaustive hello list (in order of appearance): hello, Sylvia, Summer and Michael and Sylvia, WR, David (in London), βrian, Handy Haversack, Hopey Sockmonkey, chresti, Threemoons, Bryant in TO, Hubig Pie, drowsy, Ken From Hyde Park, doctorjazz, Troymo, Revolution Rabbit Nov63, solo mon, chris in the redwoods, Franco Twinkie, Stanley, wendy del formaggio, David in London, ChukAmok, Webhamster Henry, Billy Mince and david w, you're all 100% perfect. thank you (not soliciting replies, just acknowledging)
	1:51pm Stanley: David, SDr Feelgood, another band we followed around back then. Oil City Confidential is a great film portraying the times.
	1:51pm drowsy: RRN63 I remember being a dorky HS freshman in awe of all the cool people that could fill up a whole concert hall like that. I salute you for arriving already awesome.
	1:52pm Mary Wing: Hi Bas! Home at last?
	1:52pm chresti: Hi spodi\\//
	🛎 1:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: We did hear the HotRods... Hullo spodi !
	1:52pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Oh hey, I saw that Echo & the Bunnymen tour with Billy Bragg as well in Berkeley. I was already VERY into Billy Bragg and excited to see him on a bigger stage.
	🛎 1:52pm Bas NL: Yes Mary! Time to relax and tune in! :)
	🛎 1:53pm Handy Haversack: Yo, spodi! Let's go to the instant reply!
	1:54pm Stanley: Nice to see you Spodi
	1:54pm spodiodi: Mary, on old pics: i have very few of myself (at least in any kind of a natural setting). i was just having words (in my mind) with m'lady about this yesterday shakes fist "in case ya didn't happen to notice, i'm one hell of a gorgeous chick"
	🛎 1:54pm chris in the redwoods: hey, spodi! :)
	1:56pm David in London: Hey Bas. Stanley, I went to the premier of that. The band played live beforehand, with Alison Moyet filling in for Lee. She was amazing, possibly the best replacement ever. Would have loved to have seen them in their 70s glory days, though. Ever seen this? On home soil... https://youtu.be/GzF0AETdRF8 Were you there?
	🛎 1:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: REM's Crazy my current earwurm - so Thx.
	🛎 1:56pm Handy Haversack: LOVE this cover!
	1:57pm Mary Wing: And remember that we only had film cameras back then, so it wasn't like you would take lots of pictures of any one event or person like folks do today with their new-fangled contraptions. They got a camera in RayBan sunglasses now!!
	🛎 1:57pm Bas NL: Ohw, yes! The '85 recreation show; nice!
	1:58pm spodiodi: please lead the way, Handy! (i have no idea what you mean. it will drive me crazy until i do. mercy.)
	1:58pm Stanley: David - far fucking out, man. And I wish. Watched that vid many a time. Just love Lee's filthy white suit.
	🛎 1:59pm Handy Haversack: I was riffing on "instant replay." I wasn't totally happy with it either. K8 and I were saying it seems like no one ever talks about 10,000 Maniacs anymore.
	1:59pm spodiodi: indeed, Mary. i have a bag of old undeveloped film from ~1990-91 (maybe 20 rolls or so.... mostly of New Orleans)
	2:00pm Stanley: Woohoo Maniacs! Love 10,000 Maniacs, Mary (and Natalie but don't tell anyone). Ooops.
	🛎 2:00pm Handy Haversack: OK, we admittedly hadn't brought it up with Stanley.
	2:01pm Mary Wing: What are the chances that those rolls are still able to be developed, spodi? Seems like there must be a window of opportunity which closes at some point?
	🛎 2:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Creek & Kills in fact have reminded me a little of perhaps a more arch less MOR Natalie & the Maniacs...
	2:01pm spodiodi: ah... instant reply like in sports, Handy? if so gotcha (i'm not slow, i'm just drawn that way. and sports confound me.)
	2:01pm Stanley: handy - I somehow got the feeling that Natalie Merchant is persona non grata on FMU.
	🛎 2:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...not to overdo the comparison - but K8's timbre & phrasing are not entirely dissimilar to Natalie's...
	🛎 2:02pm Handy Haversack: Huh. I wonder what that's about. Did she break the coffee pot Joe Strummer touched?
	2:03pm David in London: Yeah, really enjoyed that Maniacs.
	2:04pm spodiodi: Mary, i was going to mention taking bets... i have no idea... most photography people i know have expressed similar concerns. a guy who's business it is to develop film, told me he thinks it could go either way... with likely significant loss. i kind of agree with him. i bet that some develop okay. i'll report back if i ever get around to dealing with the fear.
	2:05pm Stanley: Haha Handy. Don't know. A friend of mine who used to listen to FMU told me she once requested NM, and got a short rebuke (don't remember the dj) Anyway balls to that Unplugged is one of my all time favourite albums.
	2:06pm spodiodi: i have love/hate for 10K Maniacs
	🛎 2:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Natalie Merchant born exactly a week before myself - so Scorpio Sistah & then some ...Johnny Marr but three days before me on Halloween 1963...
	🛎 2:06pm Handy Haversack: Like 5,000 of each, spodi?
	2:07pm spodiodi: approximately, Handy. it mostly depends on my mood :-B
	🛎 2:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wull yer '85 playlist is totally bitchen.
	2:08pm spodiodi: DJ Mary FTW!
	2:10pm spodiodi: 3rd set should be great with this start!
	2:12pm Mary Wing: I would think the film closer to the center of the roll would be in better shape since less air/dust/whathaveyou can get to it, but maybe it is an all-or-nothing deal with each particular roll of film.
	2:14pm Michael 98145: Huzza
	🛎 2:14pm chris in the redwoods: love this surf-skank
	2:14pm Michael 98145: yes
	2:14pm spodiodi: that makes sense, Mary amen, chris!
	2:14pm spodiodi: YES FISHBONE!
	2:15pm spodiodi: YES. no one plays this song! thanks MARY!!!!
	2:15pm Mary Wing: Hello Michael 98145! Just in time for three of a... oh wait, that didn't happen in 1985.
	2:15pm spodiodi: to 1985 Mary!
	2:15pm Mary Wing: I DID, spodiodi!
	🛎 2:16pm Handy Haversack: Fishbone!
	2:16pm spodiodi: B^D and i love you for it, Mary!
	2:16pm Mary Wing: These are the voices...
	2:17pm spodiodi: i think the date should be 1985 though! THEEESE ARE THE VOICES
	2:18pm spodiodi: i'm shaking. today will be a good day :D
	2:18pm spodiodi: AMEN
	2:18pm Mary Wing: How many station IDs do they say on this song?
	2:20pm spodiodi: never counted. i used to love hearing all the CA station ids that i didn't really know at all. then running into many of them again, once i moved to ca was a kick. i love the chaos in that recording
	2:22pm David in London: Damn, you were killing it in ‘85 Mary. And again ‘21.
	2:23pm spodiodi: murdermuredermurder! killkillkill!
	2:24pm Mary Wing: Did you know of The Lucy Show, David? I liked them because they were almost cloning The Cure down to the Robert Smith's vocals, heh.
	🛎 2:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seriously yer playlist has aged well.
	2:26pm Mary Wing: I'm glad I was able to find most of the songs; playing the actual tapes would have sounded awful on air.
	2:26pm spodiodi: i didn't know The Lucy Show until today, but thought that it sounded like the singer from Dramarama when it first began to play
	2:26pm David in London: I saw them open for someone Mary, but I’m wracking my brains to remember who. Monochrome Set maybe?
	2:27pm spodiodi: i bet you're right Mary, but hearing your voice from then was really cool! :D
	2:29pm doctorjazz: Hey, a group/album/song I know and love, ahhhh!
	2:31pm ChukAmok: Hey @Spodiodi! Is the old undeveloped film you have B&W? I'm finally getting some new developer since the covid-19 chemistry drought and would be happy to run a couple of rolls for you.
	2:33pm spodiodi: thanks, ChukAmok! very nice of you to offer. i think they're all color though
	2:33pm drowsy: Gotta run - thanks for being active all this time Mary! Cheers to everyone sharing this ride today.
	2:34pm Michael 98145: this -really-brings back the times
	🛎 2:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: late drowsy !
	2:34pm Mary Wing: Toodles, drowsy!
	2:36pm ChukAmok: @Spodiodi No worries at all! If they are 30-year old rolls of color negs and they haven't been refrigerated that whole time then my best bet is that the color has likely wildly shifted to magenta. Never know until you try though!
	2:37pm Mary Wing: I might look better with magenta skin, heh.
	2:37pm Ike: Hmmm, where are my 1993-97 college radio playlists? I hope I haven’t lost them.
	🛎 2:37pm Handy Haversack: SIOUXSIE!
	🛎 2:37pm Bas NL: Didn't know this Siouxsie track.. great!
	2:39pm spodiodi: i agree with Handy
	2:39pm Mary Wing: Hi Ike! You have paper playlists? I think I might still have mine but I tried to make sure that the cassettes had printed playlists in the cases.
	2:39pm chresti: A photographer friend of ours said his stock pile of old b&w polaroid film fetches a good price these days.
	🛎 2:39pm chris in the redwoods: oh wow, Skinny Puppy!
	🛎 2:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Neither Siouxsie nor the Banshees have ever failed that I know of.
	2:40pm coelacanth∅: greetings Mary and 100%ers no 3ok?
	2:41pm Mary Wing: Hiya coelacanth! 3oak didn't exist in 1985, sorry!
	2:41pm Michael 98145: great set !
	2:41pm spodiodi: ChukAmok, i like Magenta :) i'll keep my expectations low
	🛎 2:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: Covers were not invented until 1988, as I recall.
	2:41pm ChukAmok: Today is a special day for the 100%, coel! Mary is sharing from her personal archive of early broadcasts!
	2:42pm spodiodi: olo KFHP
	2:42pm coelacanth∅: so, ~45ok?
	2:43pm coelacanth∅: oh wow okay ChukAmok Thanks!
	2:43pm David in London: Hey Coela.
	2:44pm Mary Wing: Can everybody see the drum icon on some folks' posts? I only see a square with code in it. The drum icon means a pledge to Give The Drummer Radio, so thanks if you have that icon even if I can't see it!
	2:44pm spodiodi: greets, coelacanth∅
	2:44pm ChukAmok: @spodiodi the magenta happens because the cyan and yellow layers in the emulsion fade over time.
	🛎 2:45pm Handy Haversack: Yo, coela. Yup, I'm seeing drums. Just like in my secret toxic-waste-disposal cave. I've said too much.
	🛎 2:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well... another pledgedrive & still no income. So - Drummer Icons - my gratitude as well.
	2:45pm chresti: Mary, non of the pledge badges are showing up for me other than the pumpkin.
	2:46pm spodiodi: Mary, i can see 'em (it sounds like you are missing that emoji -- happens to me all the time on my old mac laptop -- checking now, but i think thee drummer emoji is missing in that case (old version od MacOS))
	2:46pm Stanley: It's how you keep that year-round tan, Handy.
	2:46pm chresti: *none
	🛎 2:47pm Bas NL: Tupelo!
	🛎 2:47pm chris in the redwoods: oh hell yeah.
	2:47pm Mary Wing: Yeah, I am on an old laptop so that is probably why, spodiodi. I saw them yesterday on Julie's playlist while I was on my work computer.
	2:47pm Hopey Sockmonkey: So many clicky stars on this show!
	2:48pm coelacanth∅: i too have old film undeveloped. around 23 years ago i guess. 2 color 2 b/w. my experience with old b/w is that it might get a haziness to it. i have little clue what i shot so i don't know if that'll be good or not. ...probably not. hi David, Handy, spodi, y'all!
	🛎 2:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Still a little BirthdayParty around the edges...
	2:48pm spodiodi: Mary, just verified on my old mac -- i see the same missing/broken icon there (blem it on the client machines)
	🛎 2:48pm Handy Haversack: I love this song so much.
	2:48pm David in London: Barry Adamson in the house!
	2:49pm spodiodi: Handy, extra chips again? for Nick?
	🛎 2:49pm Handy Haversack: Seems like it's never been played during the playlist era? Or at least no one clicky-starred it until the discerning 100 percenters!
	2:50pm coelacanth∅: icons show on this ancient windows laptop, despite so many other things that don't function properly
	🛎 2:50pm Bas NL: I've got the 7''. Well played.
	🛎 2:50pm βrian: I could use a 🥃 about now.
	🛎 2:51pm Handy Haversack: Ah, first time the album version has been played.
	2:51pm Mary Wing: Tupelo has been played by six other DJs, just on other albums/singles.
	2:52pm Michael 98145: U-Men! Local heroes!
	2:53pm spodiodi: if i had a nickel for every time i clicked to highlight a missing emoji, then searched duckduck for it, i could buy a new mac ... (what did they say/mean???) every day
	2:53pm I k e: @Mary@1:39, some paper playlists, but not comprehensive. Sounds like you were a lot more organized than I was. I only taped some of my shows.
	2:54pm Mary Wing: I'll put the picture of the tape cases now, so you can see which songs I missed.
	2:54pm David in London: Ha ha ha, 999! What a left hook.
	2:54pm Franco Twinkie: This is so sweet!
	🛎 2:55pm Handy Haversack: Great show today, Mary! Or I guess rather great shows back then! 100 percent in any case. Thanks! Keep on flying, O Wing'd Chariots.
	🛎 2:55pm βrian: @spodiodi: Here's a handy free utility: earthlingsoft.net...
