	4:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ David in California @4:12 On the other side of the worst, for sure. But I'm still not 100%. I'm gonna try to go back to work tomorrow, and see how that goes.
	4:13pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:11 Hey Austin! How are you?
	4:13pm spacebrother: That's it. Just remembered.
	4:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ spacebrother @4:13 Not bad, I guess. Well enough to clean my office, anyway.
	📖 4:14pm WR: ↳ Song: "Odessa Kitchen Man (Rawhide)" by "Leonid Utesov" very interesting! certainly there are parallels.
	4:14pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:13 Good to hear! I've been fighting something for a week or so.

	4:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:15 Thank you. I could certainly use them.
	4:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ spacebrother @4:16 Fingers crossed.
	📖 4:16pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "The Theme From Rawhide" by "Pianoman from Japan" Loading, loading, loading...he must work at the loading dock. Not as romantic as being a cowboy, but hey, times change.
	4:18pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:16 Keep them pallets rolling.
	4:19pm Semolina: Nice slide to falsetto there.
	4:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr Fab @4:16 As the sun slowly rises over the loading dock, we hear the distant howl of the dock dog. The Lone Loader hitches his belt and sighs. It's a hard road to hoe but he's made of stern stuff.
	4:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Queen Medley" by "Unknown Japanese Artist" Queen is magnificent in ANY language 💕
	4:20pm Semolina: Wow, the Banzai Chorus.
	4:20pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:20 I really like how he fits WAY TOO MANY syllables in throughout.
	4:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ spacebrother @4:20 Lol!
	4:21pm Semolina: ↳ spacebrother @4:20 Getting the lyrics to scan in that language is a work of love.
	4:21pm Austin Rich: Flash! Hooray!
	4:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Queen Medley" by "Unknown Japanese Artist" Now do The Prophet's Song 😉
	4:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @4:21 I saw "Flash Gordon" too many times as a youth.
	4:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ah, "Another One Rides The Bus" 😉
	4:23pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:23 Exactly!
	4:24pm David in California: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:23 That's how I think of it too.
	4:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: What is he actually saying to have all those syllables?? Lol
	4:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David in California @4:24 🙂
	4:24pm Semolina: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:23 Here's the test: even Freddie had a chore to fit those asides in this.
	4:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Semolina @4:24 Ah but Freddie is 👑 🙂
	📖 4:26pm Mr Fab: no, don't think I posted that? But i don't remember everything I posted, that blog lasted 12 years after all...
	4:27pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:26 It's from a "Cover the Earth" compilation, which I thought you had something to do with.
	4:28pm Austin Rich: We were chatting about you, Spacebrother, during the Mike Watt interview on my show. Mike was telling the story of the KPBJ / KBLT station he started at.
	📖 4:28pm Mr Fab: ↳ spacebrother @4:27 yes, that was me, haha!
	4:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I can't remember what I was watching on YouTube but whoever it was said that if a Brit went back in a time machine we wouldn't be able to understand anyone and vice versa
	4:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Running Up That Hill (Early Middle English)" by "... Weirdly, this sounds vaguely Welsh!
	4:29pm Austin Rich: Middle English isn't even that old, and we have a hard time understanding it! I can only imagine what language will sound like in a few hundred years more.
	📖 4:29pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @4:28 ESSENTIAL listening, btw.
	4:30pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:28 That was such a great time! Never got to meet Mike, unfortunately. Good on you for the interview!
	4:30pm David in California: ↳ Song: "Running Up That Hill (Early Middle English)" by "... This reminds me, one of the stangest videos I've seen is for "Sat in Your Lap" by Kate Bush.
	4:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Austin Rich @4:29 Imagine a Victorian trying to talk to someone where I live: "Nah, mandem, youse gettin sketty oops, innit. Wagwan?" 😂
	4:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ spacebrother @4:30 I think he'll be returning, once he's back from tour. We didn't even come close to talking about everything he's done.
	4:31pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:29 Really? I'm not sure what Welsh sounds like. I only know that their words (particularly place names) have a lot of letters in them.
	4:32pm David in California: *strangest. Stangest would be most like Arnold Stang.
	📖 4:32pm Mr Fab: wiki sez that Early Middle English was 1150–1300. So that was like a thousand years ago.
	4:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David in California @4:30 Kate Bush now has not one but two emotional blockbuster scenes in TV shows 🙂
	4:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ spacebrother @4:31 A lot of phlegm is involved, too.
	4:33pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:32 Her songs always had huge amounts of emotion in them. Encoded for repeated listening.
	4:33pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:32 LOL!
	4:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:30 I think US English will be just as strange, with a few more years to let it boil. We really love to mangle things.
	4:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Keep pledging to Greg!!! 💲💰💵
	4:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @4:32 I guess that is a long time. But that does mean we will have a hell of a time talking to our future selves.
	📖 4:34pm Mr Fab: heck some contemporary English speakers can baffle me: Cajun, Jamaican...But I do speak fluent Valley, if anyone needs translating services.
	4:35pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:33 Idiocracy gives us a hint.
	4:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "The Dangerous Kitchen" by "Frank Zappa" When I used to work in a 50s style diner in Brighton in the 90s (long story), we used to sing this when we were cleaning up 😉
	4:36pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:35 Perfect song for that!
	4:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:35 Is it a long story that you were in Brighton?
	4:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ spacebrother @4:36 Long shifts + recreational drugs + Zappa = good times. 😎
	4:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Austin Rich @4:36 Lol! Long story that I worked in a 50s style diner 😉
	4:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Star Wars Theme" by "Meco" I just re-filed my copy of this yesterday!
	4:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Star Wars Theme" by "Meco" This will never ever be anything less than MAGNIFICENT
	4:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Star Wars Theme" by "Meco" I played this on the first radio show I ever did 😊
	4:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:37 We have 50's style diners all over the place on the west coast. There's fewer of them in the Mid-Valley / Oregon, but I see 'em all over California, and a few in Washington, here and there.
	4:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Austin Rich @4:38 If you need someone to polish chrome, I'm an expert in that. Lol
	4:39pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:37 I bought it wen I was a kid. May still have it.
	📖 4:39pm Mr Fab: Doctor Sarcofiguy did a whole tribute to Meco on the "Wiggle Room" recently.
	4:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Austin Rich @4:38 Imagine a 50s style diner in a British seaside town. Lol.
	4:40pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:39 What a great idea!
	4:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @4:39 With excellent interview clips, too! That was delightful.
	4:40pm David in California: ↳ Austin Rich @4:38 Mel's Diner's seem particularly widespread in northern California.
	4:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" by "Modern Rocketry" THIS 💕
	4:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ David in California @4:40 My dad always wants to take me there, when I visit. (There's one down the street from his pad.)
	4:42pm David in California: ↳ Austin Rich @4:41 Sorry for adding the unnecessary apostrophe to Diners.
	4:42pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:38 Yeah, there's about 20 just in the LA area alone.
	4:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Greg's at 60%! Let's get his total up, up, UP! 🎉🎊
	4:43pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:42 Yeah! Thank you!
	4:43pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:42 That means someone pledged in the last few minutes.
	4:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ David in California @4:42 I totally forgive you! If we cannot forgive occasional typos and textual gaffs, then the very fabric of our world is in trouble.
	4:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" by "Modern Rocketry" That break is making me think of Divine 💕
	4:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:43 xxx ooo Divine.
	4:44pm Sem: Avatar [Pledged to WFMU] @4:42 Sem: I was locked in a radio station office turning out copy when that Star War thing hit the charts, and no way turn off the office monitor. Arghhh.
	4:44pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:43 Thumbs-up emoji.
	📖 4:44pm Mr Fab: Spacebrother and/or I will be happy to take any of you to Norm's if you're in LA - a REAL Googie-style '50s diner. Still looks spectacular. My mom actually met Norm himself in the '60s.
	4:44pm David in California: ↳ Austin Rich @4:43 Thank you.
	4:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr Fab @4:44 It's a deal!
	4:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @4:44 I've only heard, and I need to do LA proper one of these days. It's a deal!
	4:46pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:44 Definitely!
	4:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone" by "The Liverpool ... There's a bit of a Troggs vibe going on here. Very cool!

	4:47pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:47 Thank you!!
	4:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Austin Rich @4:46 The Liverpool Five were a great little band 🙂

	4:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Last Train To Clarksville" by "The Four Tops" The Four Tops! Yay!
	4:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Last Train To Clarksville" by "The Four Tops" Why are the Four Tops in the lavatory???
	4:49pm Sem: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:49 No fooling.
	4:49pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:49 Maybe Mr. Berry Gordy wanted them there.
	4:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ spacebrother @4:49 Nooooooo ... Lol.
	📖 4:50pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Last Train To Clarksville" by "The Four Tops" Someone turn on their mics!
	4:50pm David in California: ↳ Song: "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone" by "The Liverpool ... During the Teen Idols tour in 2009, Mark Lindsay and Micky Dolenz would have a mock argument onstage whether this was a Raiders song or a Monkees song, before singing it together, alternating stanzas.
	4:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:49 This must be that famous production Motown was known for, so it would sound better in the car during your commute.
	4:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David in California @4:50 Clearly they were both wrong as it was a Sex Pistols song. Lol
	4:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Austin Rich @4:50 Ah! There you go! 😉

	4:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ WR @4:09 The Flange is a glass of Malbec 😉
	4:10pm Semolina: ↳ WR @4:09 We may count on arb to counter-program on every level.

	4:12pm Semolina: ↳ Mr Fab @4:10 Don't let Doug know about it, he'd go back to high school and form a band...
	4:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Austin Rich @4:12 Mutual, my lovely! 😊
	4:12pm David in California: ↳ Austin Rich @4:11 Hello, Austin. How are you feeling?

	4:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ David in California @4:12 On the other side of the worst, for sure. But I'm still not 100%. I'm gonna try to go back to work tomorrow, and see how that goes.
	4:13pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:11 Hey Austin! How are you?
	4:13pm spacebrother: That's it. Just remembered.

	📖 4:14pm WR: ↳ Song: "Odessa Kitchen Man (Rawhide)" by "Leonid Utesov" very interesting! certainly there are parallels.
	4:14pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:13 Good to hear! I've been fighting something for a week or so.

	4:16pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ spacebrother @4:16 It looked phenomenal!!
	4:16pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:15 That sucks. I hope it's gone soon and you can resume your magical workings.

	4:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ spacebrother @4:16 Fingers crossed.
	📖 4:16pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "The Theme From Rawhide" by "Pianoman from Japan" Loading, loading, loading...he must work at the loading dock. Not as romantic as being a cowboy, but hey, times change.
	4:18pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:16 Keep them pallets rolling.
	4:19pm Semolina: Nice slide to falsetto there.
	4:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Mr Fab @4:16 As the sun slowly rises over the loading dock, we hear the distant howl of the dock dog. The Lone Loader hitches his belt and sighs. It's a hard road to hoe but he's made of stern stuff.
	4:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Queen Medley" by "Unknown Japanese Artist" Queen is magnificent in ANY language 💕
	4:20pm Semolina: Wow, the Banzai Chorus.
	4:20pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:20 I really like how he fits WAY TOO MANY syllables in throughout.
	4:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ spacebrother @4:20 Lol!
	4:21pm Semolina: ↳ spacebrother @4:20 Getting the lyrics to scan in that language is a work of love.
	4:21pm Austin Rich: Flash! Hooray!
	4:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Queen Medley" by "Unknown Japanese Artist" Now do The Prophet's Song 😉
	4:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @4:21 I saw "Flash Gordon" too many times as a youth.
	4:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Ah, "Another One Rides The Bus" 😉
	4:23pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:23 Exactly!
	4:24pm David in California: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:23 That's how I think of it too.
	4:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: What is he actually saying to have all those syllables?? Lol
	4:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David in California @4:24 🙂
	4:24pm Semolina: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:23 Here's the test: even Freddie had a chore to fit those asides in this.
	4:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Semolina @4:24 Ah but Freddie is 👑 🙂
	📖 4:26pm Mr Fab: no, don't think I posted that? But i don't remember everything I posted, that blog lasted 12 years after all...
	4:27pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:26 It's from a "Cover the Earth" compilation, which I thought you had something to do with.
	4:28pm Austin Rich: We were chatting about you, Spacebrother, during the Mike Watt interview on my show. Mike was telling the story of the KPBJ / KBLT station he started at.
	📖 4:28pm Mr Fab: ↳ spacebrother @4:27 yes, that was me, haha!
	4:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I can't remember what I was watching on YouTube but whoever it was said that if a Brit went back in a time machine we wouldn't be able to understand anyone and vice versa
	4:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "Running Up That Hill (Early Middle English)" by "... Weirdly, this sounds vaguely Welsh!
	4:29pm Austin Rich: Middle English isn't even that old, and we have a hard time understanding it! I can only imagine what language will sound like in a few hundred years more.
	📖 4:29pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @4:28 ESSENTIAL listening, btw.
	4:30pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:28 That was such a great time! Never got to meet Mike, unfortunately. Good on you for the interview!
	4:30pm David in California: ↳ Song: "Running Up That Hill (Early Middle English)" by "... This reminds me, one of the stangest videos I've seen is for "Sat in Your Lap" by Kate Bush.
	4:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Austin Rich @4:29 Imagine a Victorian trying to talk to someone where I live: "Nah, mandem, youse gettin sketty oops, innit. Wagwan?" 😂
	4:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ spacebrother @4:30 I think he'll be returning, once he's back from tour. We didn't even come close to talking about everything he's done.
	4:31pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:29 Really? I'm not sure what Welsh sounds like. I only know that their words (particularly place names) have a lot of letters in them.
	4:32pm David in California: *strangest. Stangest would be most like Arnold Stang.
	📖 4:32pm Mr Fab: wiki sez that Early Middle English was 1150–1300. So that was like a thousand years ago.
	4:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David in California @4:30 Kate Bush now has not one but two emotional blockbuster scenes in TV shows 🙂
	4:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ spacebrother @4:31 A lot of phlegm is involved, too.
	4:33pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:32 Her songs always had huge amounts of emotion in them. Encoded for repeated listening.
	4:33pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:32 LOL!
	4:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:30 I think US English will be just as strange, with a few more years to let it boil. We really love to mangle things.
	4:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Keep pledging to Greg!!! 💲💰💵
	4:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @4:32 I guess that is a long time. But that does mean we will have a hell of a time talking to our future selves.
	📖 4:34pm Mr Fab: heck some contemporary English speakers can baffle me: Cajun, Jamaican...But I do speak fluent Valley, if anyone needs translating services.
	4:35pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:33 Idiocracy gives us a hint.
	4:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "The Dangerous Kitchen" by "Frank Zappa" When I used to work in a 50s style diner in Brighton in the 90s (long story), we used to sing this when we were cleaning up 😉
	4:36pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:35 Perfect song for that!
	4:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:35 Is it a long story that you were in Brighton?
	4:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ spacebrother @4:36 Long shifts + recreational drugs + Zappa = good times. 😎
	4:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Austin Rich @4:36 Lol! Long story that I worked in a 50s style diner 😉

	4:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:37 We have 50's style diners all over the place on the west coast. There's fewer of them in the Mid-Valley / Oregon, but I see 'em all over California, and a few in Washington, here and there.
	4:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Austin Rich @4:38 If you need someone to polish chrome, I'm an expert in that. Lol
	4:39pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:37 I bought it wen I was a kid. May still have it.
	📖 4:39pm Mr Fab: Doctor Sarcofiguy did a whole tribute to Meco on the "Wiggle Room" recently.
	4:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Austin Rich @4:38 Imagine a 50s style diner in a British seaside town. Lol.
	4:40pm spacebrother: ↳ Mr Fab @4:39 What a great idea!

	4:42pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:38 Yeah, there's about 20 just in the LA area alone.
	4:42pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Greg's at 60%! Let's get his total up, up, UP! 🎉🎊
	4:43pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:42 Yeah! Thank you!
	4:43pm spacebrother: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:42 That means someone pledged in the last few minutes.
	4:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ David in California @4:42 I totally forgive you! If we cannot forgive occasional typos and textual gaffs, then the very fabric of our world is in trouble.
	4:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Song: "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" by "Modern Rocketry" That break is making me think of Divine 💕
	4:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:43 xxx ooo Divine.
	4:44pm Sem: Avatar [Pledged to WFMU] @4:42 Sem: I was locked in a radio station office turning out copy when that Star War thing hit the charts, and no way turn off the office monitor. Arghhh.
	4:44pm spacebrother: ↳ Austin Rich @4:43 Thumbs-up emoji.
	📖 4:44pm Mr Fab: Spacebrother and/or I will be happy to take any of you to Norm's if you're in LA - a REAL Googie-style '50s diner. Still looks spectacular. My mom actually met Norm himself in the '60s.

	4:50pm David in California: ↳ Song: "(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone" by "The Liverpool ... During the Teen Idols tour in 2009, Mark Lindsay and Micky Dolenz would have a mock argument onstage whether this was a Raiders song or a Monkees song, before singing it together, alternating stanzas.
	4:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ GeorgyGirl @4:49 This must be that famous production Motown was known for, so it would sound better in the car during your commute.
	4:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ David in California @4:50 Clearly they were both wrong as it was a Sex Pistols song. Lol
	4:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: ↳ Austin Rich @4:50 Ah! There you go! 😉
