Listener comments!
	9:03pm Handy Haversack: Therese! And all TheRest! PJH!
	9:03pm DanFA: Hello Therese. I thought we might be getting some kind of Steve Albini tribute set tonight.
	9:03pm pgalub: Hey everyone. RIP Steve Albini. 😞
	9:03pm ultradamno: RIP SA
	9:03pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Staying tuned in for Therese, of course. Strong open!
	9:03pm DanFA: ↳ ultradamno @9:03 I still can't believe he's gone. Shocking.
	9:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ ultradamno @9:03 Yeah. RIP and thanks for all. What a thing.
	9:04pm common: love this. rip steve
	9:04pm ultradamno: mastodon.social...
	9:04pm KWilde: Good evening
	9:05pm Rick A: Good Evening Therese and All, I always appreciate that you lean into the 90s. That is sad about Albini, so young, not much older than I am.
	9:06pm ultradamno: Pretty lengthy obit www.rollingstone.com...
	9:06pm Xangoir: Verica Salt sounds just like veruca salt
	9:07pm Cheryl The Nerd: Greetings fellow nerds...
	9:07pm DanFA: ↳ ultradamno @9:06 Unfortunately behind a paywall.
	9:07pm P-90: 61 seems much too young (these days)
	9:07pm DanFA: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:07 Good evening, sir.
	9:07pm ultradamno: ↳ DanFA @9:07 Huh. I'm seeing it and I don't pay them anything
	9:07pm weezycarneezy: Boom! PJ blew my mind
	9:08pm Therese: Hi folks- welcome to my seat-of-my-pants tribute to Steve Albini. Apologies in advance for whatever obvious song I forget to play.
	9:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ P-90 @9:07 I'd imagine the poker world is mourning, too. Dude could play.
	9:08pm DanFA: ↳ Therese @9:08 You might say All Apologies.
	9:08pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:07 There's a 'please disable your adblocker' thing that you can elect to 'continue without disabling'
	9:09pm DanFA: Any Chicago listeners here tonight?
	9:09pm P-90: the RS link opened up for me and I’m not a subscriber (shameful I know)
	9:09pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "New York Mining Disaster 1996" by "Verica Salt" Interesting reference to the Bee Gees song with almost the same title. Other than that, no similarity that I can hear.
	9:10pm DanFA: ↳ P-90 @9:09 Ok, I got it now.
	9:10pm laurapanic: I usually don't care, people die, we like their stuff. But steve. I had a little weep. May weep again.
	9:12pm Dan S: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:07 Greetings. Embrace your nerdiness!
	9:12pm ultradamno: Not Chicago, but close enough here in Indiana that I saw Big Black a couple of times and Rapeman once...plus, he seemed to like Muncie (or at least No Bar & Grill...RIP Jon Rans)
	9:12pm Handy Haversack: ↳ laurapanic @9:10 This is absolutely within tolerances.
	9:12pm Deano de los Muertos: hello Therese and folks 🌛
	9:12pm ms boo: Not in Chicago now but lived there 91 to 99. Sad tonight. PJ and Veruca took me back.
	9:14pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Dan S @9:12 I'm trying. Believe me, I'm trying.
	9:15pm Dave V: The Chunk!
	9:16pm Kat in the chat: Chicago-until-recently listener here. Sorry, no Albini stories here, was in close proximity any number of times but never had a conversation with him. Sorry to see him go.
	9:17pm Handy Haversack: Therese, K8 says hi, sends her love, and thanks you for leading off with PJ Harvey.
	9:17pm Dan S: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:14 Well, you put it right in your comments board name, so that's obvious:) I spent too many years trying to hide my nerdiness; now I just say, fuck it.
	9:18pm Rick A: ↳ ultradamno @9:07 Yeah, I was able to read it, too, thank you for attaching it.
	9:19pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "The Idea of North" by "Shellac" ok now I'm sobbing
	9:20pm ms boo: I met someone once who went to college with him and her senior thesis was a documentary film called something like “Everybody Hates Steve Albini”. I guess he was always very outspoken.
	9:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Glorious" by "The Breeders" Best Breeders record. Come at me.
	9:22pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Dan S @9:17 I've never denied it. But embracing it is a whole 'nuther matter.
	9:24pm laurapanic: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:22 no fucking question. agree. With Tanya D. Brilliance. Added bonus Britt Walford
	9:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ laurapanic @9:24 Truth!
	9:25pm Kat in the chat: I think a lot of folks who were put off by him in earlier years came around later, I’d count myself among them.
	9:25pm ultradamno: ↳ ms boo @9:20 There are stories of him back then doing a performance behind plexiglas provoking the spectators to attempt to break through and get at him...
	9:25pm Xangoir: Yes 🙀😽!! John Cameron Mitchell a New York treasure
	9:25pm ms boo: 90’s rock makes me feel like my rent is due
	9:25pm DanFA: ↳ ultradamno @9:25 I think that's been confirmed.
	9:26pm Kat in the chat: Handy, I’m on Team Pod as well
	9:26pm ultradamno: Well, I didn't really think it was in contention...then there was his championing of Pure in FE
	9:26pm laurapanic: ↳ DanFA @9:25 yes, science has proven it.
	9:27pm Dan S: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:22 Well, we're all WFMU listeners, so we embrace being at least off-beat and different, if not nerdy :)
	9:29pm Mr. Corey LLC: ↳ Song: "Work Hard/Play Hard" by "Palace Music" Wow. I haven't heard this song in so long. Thanks for playing!
	9:29pm Rick A: ↳ ms boo @9:25 ...yes, in a two-room slanted studio with a bathtub in the kitchen...
	9:30pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Work Hard/Play Hard" by "Palace Music" Hell yeah, Palace Music.
	9:30pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:22 Second.
	9:31pm Karl: Well that was a monster set
	9:32pm laurapanic: ↳ Rick A @9:29 the one whwere the landlord is actively trying to murder you
	9:33pm Dan S: It appears that the the gremlins are hard at work at WFMU today, Therese. It's not just your playlist.
	9:34pm Dan S: ↳ Karl @9:31 Agree.
	9:36pm Rick A: ↳ laurapanic @9:32 I was privileged enough to largely get along with my landlord. I had a nightmare neighbor above me who blasted extremely aggressive heavy metal music due to some vendetta he had against me. I know this because he would leave the apartment with the music blaring.
	9:36pm Stevel: ↳ Song: "The Pig Was Cool!" by "Killdozer" I believe this speaks for us all.
	9:36pm laurapanic: ↳ Rick A @9:36 you only had one landlord in the 90s? Impressive on its own!
	9:36pm Kat in the chat: Oh hell yes Killdozer
	9:38pm common: don cab. storm@stress?
	9:38pm Paul with a P: ↳ Song: "The Pig Was Cool!" by "Killdozer" wowowowow this is SO good
	9:39pm Rick A: ↳ laurapanic @9:36 From 1992-1999, I lived in two different apartments in the same building. I really liked the location, though the living was spartan. For a few months in between the two apartments, I had a disastrous roommate share. So, I hightailed it back to my original building.
	9:39pm ultradamno: I loved Scratch Acid...but when I saw Killdozer open for them at No Bar, they blew them off the stage. They had a guy yell for Freebird "oh, we know that smartass! think you're so funny!"
	9:40pm UFOSPECIALIST: this is amazing. this is why I never turn WFMU off...
	9:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ laurapanic @9:36 I had five, I think. Six if you count college.
	9:42pm prof.fuzz: evening y'all
	9:42pm laurapanic: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:40 I once counted, I think I had around 20 share houses all up. Wild times.
	9:43pm Rick A: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:40 From 1990-1992, I lived in four or five different locations, including two different countries. I attended college in the 1980s, yeah, I'm that old.
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: Crazy thing is we moved into this apartment twenty years ago! We're on our third (fourth? maybe) landlord in it.
	9:46pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:45 how much land could a landlord lord if a landlord could lord land?
	9:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Heart-Shaped Box" by "Nirvana" What Ken said! So, so good.
	9:46pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Heart-Shaped Box" by "Nirvana" We all knew this was coming.
	9:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:46 Lemme get my angle grinder.
	9:47pm laurapanic: ↳ DanFA @9:46 it has a brutality
	9:47pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:46 I think Ken was at the Unplugged taping.
	9:48pm DanFA: ↳ laurapanic @9:47 Nevermind is amazing, but this is their real masterpiece.
	9:48pm Cheryl The Nerd: I've been in my apartment for 23 years. 2 landlords, the 2nd landlord changed management companies last year. That's it.
	9:49pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:47 not coincidentally, i taught land reform in china in the 1950s last week, and indirectly all semester long (han, northern wei, sui-tang, plus land reform movements in korea and japan). my students were shocked that wealth and land inequality has been an issue for pretty much forever... history, man.
	9:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ DanFA @9:47 Ken Freedman? Indeed he was.
	9:50pm laurapanic: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:48 yes I've been in my current home 22 years. We are grown ups now!
	9:50pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:50 Is there any other Ken?
	9:51pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:49 Saw a meme today: Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it...Those who prevent history from being taught fully intend to repeat it.
	9:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:49 Well, "forever" has a pretty short horizon, honestly. I think we're doing a poor job teaching the political experiments from a lot of the first hundred thousand years of the species.
	9:51pm McGrooveybetween 1981 (when I went to: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:45 I moved just about every year between 1981 (when I went off to college) and 2003 (when I moved in with my wife). Some years I moved more than once. Wow. It makes me tired just reading that, but it's true. I did live in one place in Jersey City for a year and a half (late 1989 to early 1991). And a place in Park Slope for 2 or 3 years in the mid-'90s.
	9:52pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:51 so true, much of the time
	9:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ McGrooveybetween 1981 (when I went to @9:51 Ooof. Yeah, I was peripatetic through college as my dad was sick. Hunkered down in rent-stabilized Greenpoint until they change the laws or the waters rise!
	9:53pm McGroovey: ↳ McGrooveybetween 1981 (when I went to @9:51 Oh, wait. The first year I lived with my wife, we only lived there for a year So, 2004.
	9:54pm McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @9:53 (Copy-and-paste mishap with my board handle)
	9:55pm Dan S: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:48 I've been in my current apartment for almost 16 years now. It's a co-op. I hate having to move. BTW, I'm more of a day nerd than a night nerd, so I'll be signing off very soon. Nice 'talking' to you. Until we 'meet' again on some other comments board, Best Wishes!
	9:56pm Matt Fiveash: Dude could really record the shit out of the drums, couldn't he?
	9:56pm Steve from LI: ↳ Song: "The Model" by "Big Black" Oh yeah
	9:56pm Matt Fiveash: ↳ Song: "Heart-Shaped Box" by "Nirvana" Hey! Wait! I want a shawarma plate
	9:57pm ultradamno: Messer Chups just released new album includes another version of Model messer-chups.bandcamp.com...
	9:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt Fiveash @9:56 Forever in debt for a couple of fries.
	9:57pm Stevel: ↳ Song: "The Model" by "Big Black" That bass sound!
	9:57pm McGroovey: ↳ Matt Fiveash @9:56 ... And yet Big Black used a drum machine.
	9:58pm Matt Fiveash: ↳ McGroovey @9:57 I know, that song came on right as I was typing that comment about pretty much everything else we've heard thus far...
	9:59pm Steve from LI: ↳ Stevel @9:57 Killer
	10:02pm McGroovey: ↳ Matt Fiveash @9:58 I figured. I started writing "and yet it's trying that...", but it wasn't ironic. Though, yes, I suppose he was being ironic by using a drum machine.
	10:03pm ultradamno: ↳ Stevel @9:57 Dave Riley, who we lossed a few years ago www.rollingstone.com...
	10:03pm Jay*Rock: Will anyone play Rapeman or has this station become too PC? One of his best projects.
	10:03pm common: therese! thank you so mich for this!
	10:05pm Will thee SG OCNY: Hi Therese and all!!!
	10:09pm laurapanic: ↳ Jay*Rock @10:03 its not about being PC, just better. But as for choices to play music, maybe DJs will. guitar.com...
	10:10pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:09 so your opening up of discourse may require some further nuance
	10:10pm laurapanic: ↳ common @10:03 its quite a lovely show isn't it?
	10:12pm Jay*Rock: Rapeman was a great project. David Sims, Reys Washam and Steve. Canceling them based on an unfortunate name is unfortunate
	10:12pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "New Partner" by "Palace Music" More Palace Music, Hell yeah.
	10:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ laurapanic @10:09 Good link.
	10:13pm prof.fuzz: ↳ laurapanic @10:09 thanks for posting that interview link, laura.
	10:15pm Jay*Rock: I mean Shellac is/was edgy in ways that could be seen as distasteful too. It’s all over his career.
	10:16pm laurapanic: ↳ Jay*Rock @10:12 indeed, so more nuance is required. The link I put in was a very thoughtful man, being better, and having a great dscourse with himself. I admired that about him. One of the few men who could make me feel that about them.
	10:18pm ultradamno: "The name of the band was obviously an inexcusable, indefensible mistake, but at the time I was deaf to those criticisms. There’s nothing I can do to make up for that former perspective that I had, other than to say that I was wrong. I was in a privileged position in that I was a dude surrounded by other dudes who were keen to encourage each other to do transgressive things, and it seemed like there was a boundary that people would not go beyond, and I decided to go beyond that." www.msn.com...
	10:18pm Steve from LI: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:13 Yeah, and he said the same things in a lot of profiles recently in what, as it sadly turns out, was the last period of his life. He knew what he’d done could be construed as having caused harm and seemed to sincerely reckon with that
	10:19pm Will thee SG OCNY: I still can't believe it... Rest in Power Steve Albini 🎸🎛️🎚️🎶🎧🌠💔
	10:21pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:18 Though it's got competition for the most offensive project name he ever used (if nowhere so extensively) www.discogs.com...
	10:22pm Jay*Rock: Nice playlist
	10:23pm Jay*Rock: Well, he helped create an entire genre of music that was transgressive, so I don’t think we should throw the baby out with the bathwater . A lot of that stuff is good.
	10:23pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @10:18 80s/90s saw a lot of artists use 'transgression' to disrupt the culture. At the time, it seemed valid in a lot of cases (Kern/Lunch kinda vibe, the Jim Rose styles....oh, what was that book series, each ha d a theme, around body modifications and other wierd shit....anyone?). And now, we have moved on in thought, which is good.
	10:24pm laurapanic: ↳ Jay*Rock @10:23 is there any evidence that is happening? I still have my Rapeman records? As long as we talk about it and understand its place. As the link I gave and Ultradammo's quote demonstrate.
	10:24pm prof.fuzz: growing up: not just for children
	10:24pm DanFA: ↳ laurapanic @10:24 RE/Search?
	10:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:24 Well, yeah but OK: BLADE came out in the nineties, and it's still literally the pinnacle of human cultural achievement. So not all bad!
	10:25pm laurapanic: ↳ DanFA @10:24 YESSS, that's it, thanks Dan
	10:26pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @10:21 oh.
	10:26pm Jay*Rock: https://youtu.be/ci--roN7qrY?si=qPqGw-j53gr82c-J
	10:26pm ultradamno: They'll get my Suckdog records when they pry them from my cold, dead hands! (peeking out the window) why aren't they here yet?
	10:27pm Jay*Rock: Honestly, I find a Richard Kern far more concerning than anything Steve Albini did the guy is just a glorified pornographer
	10:28pm tim: Hi Therese. Great tribute!
	10:28pm ultradamno: Last thing I saw from Kern was a glossy photo set of Girl Meets World star Rowan Blanchard...she was smoking in it, so transgressive.
	10:29pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @10:26 another 90s transgressive act we loved and now re-evaluate. Lisa Carver is still around somewhere too.
	10:30pm laurapanic: ↳ Jay*Rock @10:27 yeh, i was not enamoured, but it was I think, explicitly and self-namngly being transgressive
	10:30pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:28 www.instagram.com...
	10:30pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Steve Albini's Blues" by "Songs:Ohia" Songs Ohia, and that Ativin release too (Pills Versus Planes). That's how I remember Steve Albini. It's going to take me awhile to sort through his passing.
	10:31pm Handy Haversack: "Shut up, Yoda!" There's the Therese 2025 T-shirt premium!
	10:32pm Rick A: I appreciate that Albini acknowledges that he was surrounded by dudes who got caught up in being thoughtlessly transgressive which then disregards the suffering of others. Some or much white dude transgressive humor has been at others' expense.
	10:32pm weezycarneezy: Fuck YODA. And baby yoda too.
	10:32pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:31 I'm Cheryl The Nerd, and I approve this message.
	10:33pm 21: Hi Therese, Perhaps the force got you there?
	10:34pm Rick A: Yeah, I have always hated that Yoda quote. The most stinging indictment of it is that Elizabeth Holmes plastered it in big letters at Theranos. She did...a lot of illegal stuff and is paying for it now.
	10:34pm Steve from LI: ↳ laurapanic @10:25 Yeah thanks Dan!
	10:35pm tim: ↳ laurapanic @10:23 I agree 100% Laura. Transgressive art did and can still serve a purpose. More and more frequently when I see contemporary transgressive art, it seems to lack nuance and doesn’t add anything to the conversation. It unfortunately comes across that that squirrely dude in every scene who likes to pull out his penis. Hope this makes sense.
	10:36pm tim: ↳ tim @10:35 that that = like that
	10:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @10:35 Tim. I am NOT in every scene.
	10:37pm Therese: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:31 GENIUS!
	10:37pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:03 ...or, you know, lost.
	10:37pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:36 What? I thought you were world wide!
	10:38pm lo: Rock!
	10:40pm tim: ↳ Song: "There's a Party in Warsaw Tonight" by "Silkworm" I saw Silkworm open for Shellac around this time. It was the first time I heard Silkworm. I was blown away.
	10:41pm Daniel from Clarksboro: Thank you for this Therese.
	10:42pm liv: this show was my intro to silkworm, can't believe i've gone my whole life without them
	10:43pm tim: ↳ Song: "Heart of Gold, Jacket of Leather" by "Rye Coalition" Rye Coaltion were/are kick ass! When they came to town, we helped them party down!
	10:44pm Therese: ↳ tim @10:43 They are an American Band, after all.
	10:44pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Therese @10:37 Sign me up.
	10:45pm DanFA: This set is helping me stay awake while I do laundry. Thank you, Therese.
	10:45pm tim: ↳ Therese @10:44 Yes they are!
	10:46pm ultradamno: The second time I saw Big Black they did the setting off of a coil of firecrackers stunt...a pretty ill-advised idea since, unlike the first show, there was a full crowd in the unventilated basement venue that was No Bar, proprietor Jon Rans kept his gong that he used when his band Mystic Groovies played on stage all the time, I remember Santiago wisely positioning himself behind it. I remember Rans' young son Ian bolting for the door, I waited the detonation out and took the opening at the front of the stage the second the opportunity presented itself. There were no injuries, but everyone would observe a certain blackening of their snot later.
	10:47pm devlawn: I've been trying to think of an album to but on my phone for driving. Going to add this whole album.
	10:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ ultradamno @10:46 The Blackening of Their Snot tour will never be forgotten.
	10:48pm pgalub: Gedge it up!
	10:48pm Various Julius: His production was incredibly direct
	10:49pm Gary: Wonderful tribute. What we all needed. Thanks!
	10:51pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ Song: "There's a Party in Warsaw Tonight" by "Silkworm" the bass player from silkworm is in a newish band with dudes from Tar called Deep Tunnel Project that might be of interest to us older folks deeptunnelproject.bandcamp.com...
	10:52pm tim: ↳ Song: "Soup" by "The Wedding Present" I missed this record.
	10:52pm ultradamno: ↳ Various Julius @10:48 He picked up a lot from the late Iain Burgess www.slicingupeyeballs.com...
	10:53pm drowsy: I was lucky to see Big Black on their farewell tour. I was so happy to hear them and Naked Raygun and know that moving to Chicago would be OK. And it was.
	10:53pm devlawn: I get The Wedding Present and Weddings Parties Anything mixed up due to similar name.
	10:56pm Enflod: ↳ Song: "Wichita Lineman" by "Urge Overkill" One of the funniest things I've ever read: thechicagoambassador.wordpress.com...
	10:57pm TDK60: Good evening.
	10:58pm Harry Corvair: With all for respect, Terese: all Urge Overkill songs are the correct Urge Overkill songs.
	10:58pm tim: ↳ Song: "Wichita Lineman" by "Urge Overkill" Yup, this is the right one.
	10:58pm laurapanic: ↳ devlawn @10:53 quite the difference though. But both iconic in their homelands
	10:59pm tim: Did Albini and Urge ever mend the fence?
	11:00pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: What a great show and chat tonight. Nice work Therese and everyone, lots of amazing stuff here.
	11:01pm ultradamno: ↳ Enflod @10:56 This need to be adapted into a major motion picture.
	11:02pm Dean: Jon Spencer Blues Explosion always makes me think of Claw Hammer. I so wish we still had Claw Hammer.
	11:04pm Enflod: ↳ ultradamno @11:01 Right?!
	11:12pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ Dean @11:02 Claw Hammer was great — saw them open for Rocket from the Crypt and Cows at one of the greater shows I attended long ago, and they stood up well against the spectacle of the later bands. (Though I also ended up working with Jon Spencer’s dad in the chemistry department at dartmouth for a while.)
	11:13pm splendid: Cybertruck looks like a $90,000 Pontiac Aztec.
	11:16pm Steve from LI: ↳ Enflod @11:04 Oh man, what a story
	11:20pm laurapanic: ↳ Barney Grubbs @11:12 cool guys' dads is a genre I can get into learning about
	11:23pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Sheetkickers" by "Guided By Voices" One of my favorites! Is cranked.
	11:37pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ laurapanic @11:20 he was an intimidating old New Englander, but I liked him a lot. in the early 2000s he was annoyed that he was old enough that new faculty (instead of students) were asking about his son’s band. only thing I can find right now is from a 70s alumni magazine archive.dartmouthalumnimagazine.com...
	11:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "It All Means Nothing" by "Screaming Females" Dag, what a sound.
	11:41pm Harry Corvair: This is the stuff. RIP Steve Albini. Yuri-G by PJ Harvey (Rid of Me)
	11:41pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Yuri-G" by "PJ Harvey" my motor cortex is moshing
	11:46pm laurapanic: Rid of Me really is one of the masterworks.
	11:47pm laurapanic: Every Shellac album is perfect fight me
	11:47pm devlawn: ↳ Song: "Yuri-G" by "PJ Harvey" I can remember where I was when I first heard PJ Harvey. I forget which track it was.
	11:47pm diciassette: The two Electrelane records..
	11:48pm laurapanic: ↳ Barney Grubbs @11:37 the second para could be him, or his son. cheeky grin
	11:48pm laurapanic: ↳ diciassette @11:47 also wonderful
	11:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Therese!
	11:54pm Daniel from Clarksboro: Thank you again Therese. A bit of medicine here, a brutal day.
	11:55pm sádlo ð: ↳ Song: "Disinherit" by "Veruca Salt" yo, that's my jamm . shout out to steve lack
	11:55pm laurapanic: perfect set
	11:56pm TDK60: Thanks, Therese.
	11:56pm Therese: Thanks for stopping by, folks. Let your loved ones know that you're thinking about them. Be kind. And stay tuned for DJ Perro Caliente.

Listener comments!
	9:03pm Handy Haversack: Therese! And all TheRest! PJH!
	9:03pm DanFA: Hello Therese. I thought we might be getting some kind of Steve Albini tribute set tonight.
	9:03pm pgalub: Hey everyone. RIP Steve Albini. 😞
	9:03pm ultradamno: RIP SA
	9:03pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: Staying tuned in for Therese, of course. Strong open!
	9:03pm DanFA: ↳ ultradamno @9:03 I still can't believe he's gone. Shocking.
	9:04pm Handy Haversack: ↳ ultradamno @9:03 Yeah. RIP and thanks for all. What a thing.
	9:04pm common: love this. rip steve
	9:04pm ultradamno: mastodon.social...
	9:04pm KWilde: Good evening
	9:05pm Rick A: Good Evening Therese and All, I always appreciate that you lean into the 90s. That is sad about Albini, so young, not much older than I am.
	9:06pm ultradamno: Pretty lengthy obit www.rollingstone.com...
	9:06pm Xangoir: Verica Salt sounds just like veruca salt
	9:07pm Cheryl The Nerd: Greetings fellow nerds...
	9:07pm DanFA: ↳ ultradamno @9:06 Unfortunately behind a paywall.
	9:07pm P-90: 61 seems much too young (these days)
	9:07pm DanFA: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:07 Good evening, sir.
	9:07pm ultradamno: ↳ DanFA @9:07 Huh. I'm seeing it and I don't pay them anything
	9:07pm weezycarneezy: Boom! PJ blew my mind
	9:08pm Therese: Hi folks- welcome to my seat-of-my-pants tribute to Steve Albini. Apologies in advance for whatever obvious song I forget to play.
	9:08pm Handy Haversack: ↳ P-90 @9:07 I'd imagine the poker world is mourning, too. Dude could play.
	9:08pm DanFA: ↳ Therese @9:08 You might say All Apologies.
	9:08pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:07 There's a 'please disable your adblocker' thing that you can elect to 'continue without disabling'
	9:09pm DanFA: Any Chicago listeners here tonight?
	9:09pm P-90: the RS link opened up for me and I’m not a subscriber (shameful I know)
	9:09pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "New York Mining Disaster 1996" by "Verica Salt" Interesting reference to the Bee Gees song with almost the same title. Other than that, no similarity that I can hear.
	9:10pm DanFA: ↳ P-90 @9:09 Ok, I got it now.
	9:10pm laurapanic: I usually don't care, people die, we like their stuff. But steve. I had a little weep. May weep again.
	9:12pm Dan S: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:07 Greetings. Embrace your nerdiness!
	9:12pm ultradamno: Not Chicago, but close enough here in Indiana that I saw Big Black a couple of times and Rapeman once...plus, he seemed to like Muncie (or at least No Bar & Grill...RIP Jon Rans)
	9:12pm Handy Haversack: ↳ laurapanic @9:10 This is absolutely within tolerances.
	9:12pm Deano de los Muertos: hello Therese and folks 🌛
	9:12pm ms boo: Not in Chicago now but lived there 91 to 99. Sad tonight. PJ and Veruca took me back.
	9:14pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Dan S @9:12 I'm trying. Believe me, I'm trying.
	9:15pm Dave V: The Chunk!
	9:16pm Kat in the chat: Chicago-until-recently listener here. Sorry, no Albini stories here, was in close proximity any number of times but never had a conversation with him. Sorry to see him go.
	9:17pm Handy Haversack: Therese, K8 says hi, sends her love, and thanks you for leading off with PJ Harvey.
	9:17pm Dan S: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:14 Well, you put it right in your comments board name, so that's obvious:) I spent too many years trying to hide my nerdiness; now I just say, fuck it.
	9:18pm Rick A: ↳ ultradamno @9:07 Yeah, I was able to read it, too, thank you for attaching it.
	9:19pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "The Idea of North" by "Shellac" ok now I'm sobbing
	9:20pm ms boo: I met someone once who went to college with him and her senior thesis was a documentary film called something like “Everybody Hates Steve Albini”. I guess he was always very outspoken.
	9:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Glorious" by "The Breeders" Best Breeders record. Come at me.
	9:22pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Dan S @9:17 I've never denied it. But embracing it is a whole 'nuther matter.
	9:24pm laurapanic: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:22 no fucking question. agree. With Tanya D. Brilliance. Added bonus Britt Walford
	9:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ laurapanic @9:24 Truth!
	9:25pm Kat in the chat: I think a lot of folks who were put off by him in earlier years came around later, I’d count myself among them.
	9:25pm ultradamno: ↳ ms boo @9:20 There are stories of him back then doing a performance behind plexiglas provoking the spectators to attempt to break through and get at him...
	9:25pm Xangoir: Yes 🙀😽!! John Cameron Mitchell a New York treasure
	9:25pm ms boo: 90’s rock makes me feel like my rent is due
	9:25pm DanFA: ↳ ultradamno @9:25 I think that's been confirmed.
	9:26pm Kat in the chat: Handy, I’m on Team Pod as well
	9:26pm ultradamno: Well, I didn't really think it was in contention...then there was his championing of Pure in FE
	9:26pm laurapanic: ↳ DanFA @9:25 yes, science has proven it.
	9:27pm Dan S: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:22 Well, we're all WFMU listeners, so we embrace being at least off-beat and different, if not nerdy :)
	9:29pm Mr. Corey LLC: ↳ Song: "Work Hard/Play Hard" by "Palace Music" Wow. I haven't heard this song in so long. Thanks for playing!
	9:29pm Rick A: ↳ ms boo @9:25 ...yes, in a two-room slanted studio with a bathtub in the kitchen...
	9:30pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Work Hard/Play Hard" by "Palace Music" Hell yeah, Palace Music.
	9:30pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:22 Second.
	9:31pm Karl: Well that was a monster set
	9:32pm laurapanic: ↳ Rick A @9:29 the one whwere the landlord is actively trying to murder you
	9:33pm Dan S: It appears that the the gremlins are hard at work at WFMU today, Therese. It's not just your playlist.
	9:34pm Dan S: ↳ Karl @9:31 Agree.
	9:36pm Rick A: ↳ laurapanic @9:32 I was privileged enough to largely get along with my landlord. I had a nightmare neighbor above me who blasted extremely aggressive heavy metal music due to some vendetta he had against me. I know this because he would leave the apartment with the music blaring.
	9:36pm Stevel: ↳ Song: "The Pig Was Cool!" by "Killdozer" I believe this speaks for us all.
	9:36pm laurapanic: ↳ Rick A @9:36 you only had one landlord in the 90s? Impressive on its own!
	9:36pm Kat in the chat: Oh hell yes Killdozer
	9:38pm common: don cab. storm@stress?
	9:38pm Paul with a P: ↳ Song: "The Pig Was Cool!" by "Killdozer" wowowowow this is SO good
	9:39pm Rick A: ↳ laurapanic @9:36 From 1992-1999, I lived in two different apartments in the same building. I really liked the location, though the living was spartan. For a few months in between the two apartments, I had a disastrous roommate share. So, I hightailed it back to my original building.
	9:39pm ultradamno: I loved Scratch Acid...but when I saw Killdozer open for them at No Bar, they blew them off the stage. They had a guy yell for Freebird "oh, we know that smartass! think you're so funny!"
	9:40pm UFOSPECIALIST: this is amazing. this is why I never turn WFMU off...
	9:40pm Handy Haversack: ↳ laurapanic @9:36 I had five, I think. Six if you count college.
	9:42pm prof.fuzz: evening y'all
	9:42pm laurapanic: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:40 I once counted, I think I had around 20 share houses all up. Wild times.
	9:43pm Rick A: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:40 From 1990-1992, I lived in four or five different locations, including two different countries. I attended college in the 1980s, yeah, I'm that old.
	9:45pm Handy Haversack: Crazy thing is we moved into this apartment twenty years ago! We're on our third (fourth? maybe) landlord in it.
	9:46pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:45 how much land could a landlord lord if a landlord could lord land?
	9:46pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Heart-Shaped Box" by "Nirvana" What Ken said! So, so good.
	9:46pm DanFA: ↳ Song: "Heart-Shaped Box" by "Nirvana" We all knew this was coming.
	9:47pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:46 Lemme get my angle grinder.
	9:47pm laurapanic: ↳ DanFA @9:46 it has a brutality
	9:47pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:46 I think Ken was at the Unplugged taping.
	9:48pm DanFA: ↳ laurapanic @9:47 Nevermind is amazing, but this is their real masterpiece.
	9:48pm Cheryl The Nerd: I've been in my apartment for 23 years. 2 landlords, the 2nd landlord changed management companies last year. That's it.
	9:49pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:47 not coincidentally, i taught land reform in china in the 1950s last week, and indirectly all semester long (han, northern wei, sui-tang, plus land reform movements in korea and japan). my students were shocked that wealth and land inequality has been an issue for pretty much forever... history, man.
	9:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ DanFA @9:47 Ken Freedman? Indeed he was.
	9:50pm laurapanic: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:48 yes I've been in my current home 22 years. We are grown ups now!
	9:50pm DanFA: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:50 Is there any other Ken?
	9:51pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:49 Saw a meme today: Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it...Those who prevent history from being taught fully intend to repeat it.
	9:51pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @9:49 Well, "forever" has a pretty short horizon, honestly. I think we're doing a poor job teaching the political experiments from a lot of the first hundred thousand years of the species.
	9:51pm McGrooveybetween 1981 (when I went to: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:45 I moved just about every year between 1981 (when I went off to college) and 2003 (when I moved in with my wife). Some years I moved more than once. Wow. It makes me tired just reading that, but it's true. I did live in one place in Jersey City for a year and a half (late 1989 to early 1991). And a place in Park Slope for 2 or 3 years in the mid-'90s.
	9:52pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:51 so true, much of the time
	9:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ McGrooveybetween 1981 (when I went to @9:51 Ooof. Yeah, I was peripatetic through college as my dad was sick. Hunkered down in rent-stabilized Greenpoint until they change the laws or the waters rise!
	9:53pm McGroovey: ↳ McGrooveybetween 1981 (when I went to @9:51 Oh, wait. The first year I lived with my wife, we only lived there for a year So, 2004.
	9:54pm McGroovey: ↳ McGroovey @9:53 (Copy-and-paste mishap with my board handle)
	9:55pm Dan S: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @9:48 I've been in my current apartment for almost 16 years now. It's a co-op. I hate having to move. BTW, I'm more of a day nerd than a night nerd, so I'll be signing off very soon. Nice 'talking' to you. Until we 'meet' again on some other comments board, Best Wishes!
	9:56pm Matt Fiveash: Dude could really record the shit out of the drums, couldn't he?
	9:56pm Steve from LI: ↳ Song: "The Model" by "Big Black" Oh yeah
	9:56pm Matt Fiveash: ↳ Song: "Heart-Shaped Box" by "Nirvana" Hey! Wait! I want a shawarma plate
	9:57pm ultradamno: Messer Chups just released new album includes another version of Model messer-chups.bandcamp.com...
	9:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Matt Fiveash @9:56 Forever in debt for a couple of fries.
	9:57pm Stevel: ↳ Song: "The Model" by "Big Black" That bass sound!
	9:57pm McGroovey: ↳ Matt Fiveash @9:56 ... And yet Big Black used a drum machine.
	9:58pm Matt Fiveash: ↳ McGroovey @9:57 I know, that song came on right as I was typing that comment about pretty much everything else we've heard thus far...
	9:59pm Steve from LI: ↳ Stevel @9:57 Killer
	10:02pm McGroovey: ↳ Matt Fiveash @9:58 I figured. I started writing "and yet it's trying that...", but it wasn't ironic. Though, yes, I suppose he was being ironic by using a drum machine.
	10:03pm ultradamno: ↳ Stevel @9:57 Dave Riley, who we lossed a few years ago www.rollingstone.com...
	10:03pm Jay*Rock: Will anyone play Rapeman or has this station become too PC? One of his best projects.
	10:03pm common: therese! thank you so mich for this!
	10:05pm Will thee SG OCNY: Hi Therese and all!!!
	10:09pm laurapanic: ↳ Jay*Rock @10:03 its not about being PC, just better. But as for choices to play music, maybe DJs will. guitar.com...
	10:10pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:09 so your opening up of discourse may require some further nuance
	10:10pm laurapanic: ↳ common @10:03 its quite a lovely show isn't it?
	10:12pm Jay*Rock: Rapeman was a great project. David Sims, Reys Washam and Steve. Canceling them based on an unfortunate name is unfortunate
	10:12pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "New Partner" by "Palace Music" More Palace Music, Hell yeah.
	10:13pm Handy Haversack: ↳ laurapanic @10:09 Good link.
	10:13pm prof.fuzz: ↳ laurapanic @10:09 thanks for posting that interview link, laura.
	10:15pm Jay*Rock: I mean Shellac is/was edgy in ways that could be seen as distasteful too. It’s all over his career.
	10:16pm laurapanic: ↳ Jay*Rock @10:12 indeed, so more nuance is required. The link I put in was a very thoughtful man, being better, and having a great dscourse with himself. I admired that about him. One of the few men who could make me feel that about them.
	10:18pm ultradamno: "The name of the band was obviously an inexcusable, indefensible mistake, but at the time I was deaf to those criticisms. There’s nothing I can do to make up for that former perspective that I had, other than to say that I was wrong. I was in a privileged position in that I was a dude surrounded by other dudes who were keen to encourage each other to do transgressive things, and it seemed like there was a boundary that people would not go beyond, and I decided to go beyond that." www.msn.com...
	10:18pm Steve from LI: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:13 Yeah, and he said the same things in a lot of profiles recently in what, as it sadly turns out, was the last period of his life. He knew what he’d done could be construed as having caused harm and seemed to sincerely reckon with that
	10:19pm Will thee SG OCNY: I still can't believe it... Rest in Power Steve Albini 🎸🎛️🎚️🎶🎧🌠💔
	10:21pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:18 Though it's got competition for the most offensive project name he ever used (if nowhere so extensively) www.discogs.com...
	10:22pm Jay*Rock: Nice playlist
	10:23pm Jay*Rock: Well, he helped create an entire genre of music that was transgressive, so I don’t think we should throw the baby out with the bathwater . A lot of that stuff is good.
	10:23pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @10:18 80s/90s saw a lot of artists use 'transgression' to disrupt the culture. At the time, it seemed valid in a lot of cases (Kern/Lunch kinda vibe, the Jim Rose styles....oh, what was that book series, each ha d a theme, around body modifications and other wierd shit....anyone?). And now, we have moved on in thought, which is good.
	10:24pm laurapanic: ↳ Jay*Rock @10:23 is there any evidence that is happening? I still have my Rapeman records? As long as we talk about it and understand its place. As the link I gave and Ultradammo's quote demonstrate.
	10:24pm prof.fuzz: growing up: not just for children
	10:24pm DanFA: ↳ laurapanic @10:24 RE/Search?
	10:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @10:24 Well, yeah but OK: BLADE came out in the nineties, and it's still literally the pinnacle of human cultural achievement. So not all bad!
	10:25pm laurapanic: ↳ DanFA @10:24 YESSS, that's it, thanks Dan
	10:26pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @10:21 oh.
	10:26pm Jay*Rock: https://youtu.be/ci--roN7qrY?si=qPqGw-j53gr82c-J
	10:26pm ultradamno: They'll get my Suckdog records when they pry them from my cold, dead hands! (peeking out the window) why aren't they here yet?
	10:27pm Jay*Rock: Honestly, I find a Richard Kern far more concerning than anything Steve Albini did the guy is just a glorified pornographer
	10:28pm tim: Hi Therese. Great tribute!
	10:28pm ultradamno: Last thing I saw from Kern was a glossy photo set of Girl Meets World star Rowan Blanchard...she was smoking in it, so transgressive.
	10:29pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @10:26 another 90s transgressive act we loved and now re-evaluate. Lisa Carver is still around somewhere too.
	10:30pm laurapanic: ↳ Jay*Rock @10:27 yeh, i was not enamoured, but it was I think, explicitly and self-namngly being transgressive
	10:30pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:28 www.instagram.com...
	10:30pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Song: "Steve Albini's Blues" by "Songs:Ohia" Songs Ohia, and that Ativin release too (Pills Versus Planes). That's how I remember Steve Albini. It's going to take me awhile to sort through his passing.
	10:31pm Handy Haversack: "Shut up, Yoda!" There's the Therese 2025 T-shirt premium!
	10:32pm Rick A: I appreciate that Albini acknowledges that he was surrounded by dudes who got caught up in being thoughtlessly transgressive which then disregards the suffering of others. Some or much white dude transgressive humor has been at others' expense.
	10:32pm weezycarneezy: Fuck YODA. And baby yoda too.
	10:32pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:31 I'm Cheryl The Nerd, and I approve this message.
	10:33pm 21: Hi Therese, Perhaps the force got you there?
	10:34pm Rick A: Yeah, I have always hated that Yoda quote. The most stinging indictment of it is that Elizabeth Holmes plastered it in big letters at Theranos. She did...a lot of illegal stuff and is paying for it now.
	10:34pm Steve from LI: ↳ laurapanic @10:25 Yeah thanks Dan!
	10:35pm tim: ↳ laurapanic @10:23 I agree 100% Laura. Transgressive art did and can still serve a purpose. More and more frequently when I see contemporary transgressive art, it seems to lack nuance and doesn’t add anything to the conversation. It unfortunately comes across that that squirrely dude in every scene who likes to pull out his penis. Hope this makes sense.
	10:36pm tim: ↳ tim @10:35 that that = like that
	10:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ tim @10:35 Tim. I am NOT in every scene.
	10:37pm Therese: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:31 GENIUS!
	10:37pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:03 ...or, you know, lost.
	10:37pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:36 What? I thought you were world wide!
	10:38pm lo: Rock!
	10:40pm tim: ↳ Song: "There's a Party in Warsaw Tonight" by "Silkworm" I saw Silkworm open for Shellac around this time. It was the first time I heard Silkworm. I was blown away.
	10:41pm Daniel from Clarksboro: Thank you for this Therese.
	10:42pm liv: this show was my intro to silkworm, can't believe i've gone my whole life without them
	10:43pm tim: ↳ Song: "Heart of Gold, Jacket of Leather" by "Rye Coalition" Rye Coaltion were/are kick ass! When they came to town, we helped them party down!
	10:44pm Therese: ↳ tim @10:43 They are an American Band, after all.
	10:44pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: ↳ Therese @10:37 Sign me up.
	10:45pm DanFA: This set is helping me stay awake while I do laundry. Thank you, Therese.
	10:45pm tim: ↳ Therese @10:44 Yes they are!
	10:46pm ultradamno: The second time I saw Big Black they did the setting off of a coil of firecrackers stunt...a pretty ill-advised idea since, unlike the first show, there was a full crowd in the unventilated basement venue that was No Bar, proprietor Jon Rans kept his gong that he used when his band Mystic Groovies played on stage all the time, I remember Santiago wisely positioning himself behind it. I remember Rans' young son Ian bolting for the door, I waited the detonation out and took the opening at the front of the stage the second the opportunity presented itself. There were no injuries, but everyone would observe a certain blackening of their snot later.
	10:47pm devlawn: I've been trying to think of an album to but on my phone for driving. Going to add this whole album.
	10:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ ultradamno @10:46 The Blackening of Their Snot tour will never be forgotten.
	10:48pm pgalub: Gedge it up!
	10:48pm Various Julius: His production was incredibly direct
	10:49pm Gary: Wonderful tribute. What we all needed. Thanks!
	10:51pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ Song: "There's a Party in Warsaw Tonight" by "Silkworm" the bass player from silkworm is in a newish band with dudes from Tar called Deep Tunnel Project that might be of interest to us older folks deeptunnelproject.bandcamp.com...
	10:52pm tim: ↳ Song: "Soup" by "The Wedding Present" I missed this record.
	10:52pm ultradamno: ↳ Various Julius @10:48 He picked up a lot from the late Iain Burgess www.slicingupeyeballs.com...
	10:53pm drowsy: I was lucky to see Big Black on their farewell tour. I was so happy to hear them and Naked Raygun and know that moving to Chicago would be OK. And it was.
	10:53pm devlawn: I get The Wedding Present and Weddings Parties Anything mixed up due to similar name.
	10:56pm Enflod: ↳ Song: "Wichita Lineman" by "Urge Overkill" One of the funniest things I've ever read: thechicagoambassador.wordpress.com...
	10:57pm TDK60: Good evening.
	10:58pm Harry Corvair: With all for respect, Terese: all Urge Overkill songs are the correct Urge Overkill songs.
	10:58pm tim: ↳ Song: "Wichita Lineman" by "Urge Overkill" Yup, this is the right one.
	10:58pm laurapanic: ↳ devlawn @10:53 quite the difference though. But both iconic in their homelands
	10:59pm tim: Did Albini and Urge ever mend the fence?
	11:00pm Chris in Kensington Bklyn: What a great show and chat tonight. Nice work Therese and everyone, lots of amazing stuff here.
	11:01pm ultradamno: ↳ Enflod @10:56 This need to be adapted into a major motion picture.
	11:02pm Dean: Jon Spencer Blues Explosion always makes me think of Claw Hammer. I so wish we still had Claw Hammer.
	11:04pm Enflod: ↳ ultradamno @11:01 Right?!
	11:12pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ Dean @11:02 Claw Hammer was great — saw them open for Rocket from the Crypt and Cows at one of the greater shows I attended long ago, and they stood up well against the spectacle of the later bands. (Though I also ended up working with Jon Spencer’s dad in the chemistry department at dartmouth for a while.)
	11:13pm splendid: Cybertruck looks like a $90,000 Pontiac Aztec.
	11:16pm Steve from LI: ↳ Enflod @11:04 Oh man, what a story
	11:20pm laurapanic: ↳ Barney Grubbs @11:12 cool guys' dads is a genre I can get into learning about
	11:23pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Sheetkickers" by "Guided By Voices" One of my favorites! Is cranked.
	11:37pm Barney Grubbs: ↳ laurapanic @11:20 he was an intimidating old New Englander, but I liked him a lot. in the early 2000s he was annoyed that he was old enough that new faculty (instead of students) were asking about his son’s band. only thing I can find right now is from a 70s alumni magazine archive.dartmouthalumnimagazine.com...
	11:39pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "It All Means Nothing" by "Screaming Females" Dag, what a sound.
	11:41pm Harry Corvair: This is the stuff. RIP Steve Albini. Yuri-G by PJ Harvey (Rid of Me)
	11:41pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "Yuri-G" by "PJ Harvey" my motor cortex is moshing
	11:46pm laurapanic: Rid of Me really is one of the masterworks.
	11:47pm laurapanic: Every Shellac album is perfect fight me
	11:47pm devlawn: ↳ Song: "Yuri-G" by "PJ Harvey" I can remember where I was when I first heard PJ Harvey. I forget which track it was.
	11:47pm diciassette: The two Electrelane records..
	11:48pm laurapanic: ↳ Barney Grubbs @11:37 the second para could be him, or his son. cheeky grin
	11:48pm laurapanic: ↳ diciassette @11:47 also wonderful
