	9:41pm Leslie: Pretend you're going to die tomorrow. The self-doubt melts away. You may still be awkward, but you seriously won't care, and that just leaves the impression of eccentric. Which isn't too bad, considering what a dork you were before.
	9:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:40 I have a great MoAM story which I will try to remember to tell in the next mic break.

	10:03pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:59 I'm usually at least low-power pissed off at the world. Lambrini Girls makes me feel like I'm not going crazy, which is increasingly important it seems.
	🥁 10:05pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:03 I agree.It helps drawing the line at what is normal or not.
	10:05pm StringOFperils: You know when the current pop form you're listening to consists of intense angry yelling, and you're calmly down with it, that the times are indeed a changin'
	10:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:05 Well put! Excellent point.
	10:08pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Understanding New Age" by "Circle" Around 20 years ago, I went to a place in Brooklyn called Bar Tabac with my then girlfriend (now wife). I was wearing my Circle t-shirt and there was a guy at the bar who was wearing the same shirt and I DIDN'T talk to him. I still think about that a lot.
	🥁 10:08pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Never Know" by "Bipolar Explorer" They did a live set on Irene Trudel Show a few weeks ago wfmu.org...

	10:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:08 I played Circle a few weeks ago. A song called "Potero" which sounded nothing like the song you just played. I love that.
	🥁 10:10pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:08 While I am at it The Lambrini Girls did a live set on Suzy Hotrods show wfmu.org...
	10:11pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:09 I love that they they'll put out like 10 metal records and then do one with just tapping on a piano.
	🥁 10:12pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:11 Their reverse Metal Machine Music.
	10:12pm northguineahills: hmmm, arb using this as bed music as well...
	10:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:11 It's definitely a special talent. "Potero" is synth-y and chant-y and I love it so much.
	10:13pm StringOFperils: Pulverization has to evolve.
	🥁 10:15pm Alex from Media: Crust punk? New (to me) term.

	🥁 10:23pm Chop Scott: Howdy Mike! I'm late to the lounge this evening.
	10:25pm StringOFperils: Are there punks that don't eat pizza crust?
	10:25pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @10:19 I think it evolved from all the bands that copied Discharge. It was very big in NYC circa 1988-1992. (Nausea, Malachi Krunch, Casualties, a lot of the ABC no RIO bands.)
	🥁 10:25pm tom tom the pipers son: some tompkins square squatters were called crusties
	10:25pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @10:23 I will issue you a late pass, THIS TIME.

	10:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:40 I hate that I had to learn what Tradwives are.
	10:42pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:41 Yes, but not as Durany as Duran Duran Duran.
	🥁 10:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Alex from Media @10:41 the band durian durian... an acquired taste
	🥁 10:43pm tom tom the pipers son: and don't forget jimmy durany... ha cha cha cha

	🥁 11:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:27 and an angel has just gotten their wings...
	🥁 11:28pm Yvang: ↳ Numero 6 @11:27 You're not a cat person.
	11:28pm kev: I fill my pill box listening to Mike every week
	🥁 11:29pm Chop Scott: ↳ Song: "Brown Rice" by "Don Cherry" Wow! An 8-Track cartridge.
	11:29pm Mike Lupica: Peas out, Wendy! Thanks for hangin' out!
	🥁 11:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Brown Rice" by "Don Cherry" loving this don cherry...
	11:30pm Mike Lupica: Screw it, only 30 minutes left so we're just gonna carry this set up until 12.
	11:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Brown Rice" by "Don Cherry" are you playing an 8-track of this?
	11:30pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:30 I wish!
	11:31pm Numero 6: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:28 I'm not one of those audiophools that will pay 3K for a low oxygen cryotreated extension cord, though.
	🥁 11:32pm Chop Scott: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:30 I was remarking on the image--don't see that much these days.
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:30 i have a few dozen 8-track cartridges and a (last i knew. it's in storage) working player/recorder. i don't think i have anything as cool as that Don Cherry album though.
	11:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:32 I have the 2001: A Space Odyssey and some Martin Denny exotica 8 tracks. That's about it.
	🥁 11:34pm tom tom the pipers son: i think fabio's store sells the "plunger" type of portable 8 track player....well that was a while ago...
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Chop Scott @11:32 right, me too. ...i consider it possible! (although it didn't sound like it)
	11:35pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:34 Three points for mentioning Fabio in the chat! I bumped into him a few weeks ago. Always good to see the man.
	🥁 11:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Miracles" by "Ed Kuepper and Jim White" has a terrific velvets adjacent feel...
	🥁 11:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:35 have not seen him in a long time, but remember he's fun to chat with...
	11:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:35 yes! Hadn't noticed that, but now that you mention it, it's inescapable.
	11:37pm StringOFperils: Wow, this is great
	🥁 11:41pm Chop Scott: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:32 I have several working 8 Track players and a small curated odd collection. My favorite is a cart of Bent Fabric "Alley Cat" that when played through a particular Learjet unit actually physically moves & purrs.
	🥁 11:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Send me Some Lovin'" by "Little Richard" the quality of this reminds my of hearing quality elvis today... cover an obscure dylan song...though used in the movie, that he flat out knocked out of the park...from '66 spinout soundtrack...with scotty moore and gang
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Chop Scott @11:41 haha, Beautiful!
	11:44pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:41 Wait, do carts count as 8-tracks? This is something that has troubled me for decades, but I would consider your word on the matter FINAL.
	11:45pm Numero 6: ↳ Chop Scott @11:41 I found some floppy discs recently with some MIDI files on them.
	🥁 11:45pm tom tom the pipers son: is the gif above cohen from badlands...? looks familiar...very
	11:47pm Numero 6: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:44 Probably more like 1 or 2 tracks.
	11:47pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:45 Not sure. I use very random web queries when searching for playlist images.
	🥁 11:47pm tom tom the pipers son: oh another mechano city gif
	🥁 11:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:47 ah i was wondering how you came up with them...
	11:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Chop Scott @11:41 i bought the deck via ebay a few years ago. i had to fix it - beyond what the seller described, and ebay intervened with his trying to rip me off and gave me a full refund. i fixed it but all the tapes are 45+ years old so obviously needed to be refurbished...which isn't hard but i had to learn. i got it for creating; not listening. but i did end up with some legit-issue tapes, along the way.
	🥁 11:50pm Chop Scott: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:44 Basically yes the same idea in format & playback form--an endless loop of tape. The radio carts were however usually mono ads or station announcements. An 8 track is a program of 4 stereo segments sliced into a loop.
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:44 carts = cartridges (as opposed to 8-track reel-to-reel)
	11:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:50 Dude, we totally need to hit Conte's again to talk shop about this stuff.
	11:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Chop Scott @11:50 borne out of 4-track cartridges, which were mono
	11:52pm northguineahills: thanks mike, have a great night everyone!
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @11:52 nighty night
	🥁 11:54pm Chop Scott: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:51 Indeed! web.archive.org...
	🥁 11:54pm tom tom the pipers son: hey thanks a lot ...fun show and talk...see yahs all...
	🥁 11:54pm Alex from Media: Thanks Mike!
	🥁 11:54pm Roberto: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:51 C-o-n-t-e I'm gonna do what's best for me I'm Conte
	11:55pm Mike Lupica: Peas out, pitcrew!
	11:55pm sorry it's andrew: thanks mike!
	🥁 11:55pm Roberto: Maybe I'll remember to tune in before 11pm next time.
	11:56pm Numero 6: Peas out with honey, BCNU!
	🥁 11:56pm egal: well played.
	11:56pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:55 Dare to dream, my friend.
	🥁 11:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Dom (Electricity Elects the Rain)" by "39 Clocks" groovy...
	🥁 11:59pm Yvang: Thanks Mike!
	12:00am coelacanth∅: she looks like she feels how i feel more often than not.
	12:00am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:58 This record is a late breaking revelation for me. It is astonisgingly awesome so far as VU-damaged 80s German post-punk-garage bands go.
	12:00am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:00 *astonishingly
	🥁 12:01am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:00 really good...thanks mike...

	9:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Yvang @9:12 Yvang!

	9:39pm StringOFperils: Sandwich retentiveness
	9:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Nitrous Burnout" by "Man...or ASTRO-man?" Wow! New Man or Astro Man! I saw them open for the Cramps in uh... 1991? 1993? Something like that. I wrote them fan mail I loved the show so much, and they wrote back!
	9:41pm Leslie: Pretend you're going to die tomorrow. The self-doubt melts away. You may still be awkward, but you seriously won't care, and that just leaves the impression of eccentric. Which isn't too bad, considering what a dork you were before.
	9:41pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:40 I have a great MoAM story which I will try to remember to tell in the next mic break.
	9:42pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Leslie @9:41 100%. And I absolutely gave up caring around 30 years ago.

	9:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ sorry it's andrew @9:50 Aye!
	9:52pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "You're Not From Around Here" by "Lambrini Girls" Which one of you coined them as "the best band to get yelled at by"?
	9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "You're Not From Around Here" by "Lambrini Girls" This is the best song I've heard about anti-gentrification since listening to this album: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 9:52pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:52 Me!
	9:54pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:52 Ahh yes! I think I owe you some royalties because I've used that line a few times over the last couple weeks. Do you accept PayPal?

	9:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Mike Lupica @9:55 My cheesemonger brother (non-biological) whose politics align with mine keeps recommending them. Every time I hear them on your show, I understand why. Thank you!
	9:58pm Mike Lupica: ↳ King Adam @9:55 That's awesome to know, thank you!
	9:59pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:55 Two mysteries solved in one move!
	🥁 9:59pm Yvang: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:57 They bring the kind of rage we need right now.
	10:03pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Yvang @9:59 I'm usually at least low-power pissed off at the world. Lambrini Girls makes me feel like I'm not going crazy, which is increasingly important it seems.
	🥁 10:05pm Yvang: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:03 I agree.It helps drawing the line at what is normal or not.
	10:05pm StringOFperils: You know when the current pop form you're listening to consists of intense angry yelling, and you're calmly down with it, that the times are indeed a changin'
	10:05pm Mike Lupica: ↳ StringOFperils @10:05 Well put! Excellent point.
	10:08pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Song: "Understanding New Age" by "Circle" Around 20 years ago, I went to a place in Brooklyn called Bar Tabac with my then girlfriend (now wife). I was wearing my Circle t-shirt and there was a guy at the bar who was wearing the same shirt and I DIDN'T talk to him. I still think about that a lot.

	10:25pm StringOFperils: Are there punks that don't eat pizza crust?
	10:25pm Mike Lupica: ↳ chresti @10:19 I think it evolved from all the bands that copied Discharge. It was very big in NYC circa 1988-1992. (Nausea, Malachi Krunch, Casualties, a lot of the ABC no RIO bands.)

	10:42pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:41 Yes, but not as Durany as Duran Duran Duran.

	🥁 10:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @10:52 google lists him as an enterpriser
	10:57pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Alex from Media @10:54 This was around 15 years ago, but yes.
	🥁 10:59pm Yvang: ↳ Alex from Media @10:54 They were for sale for $1 at Monty Hall yesterday!
	🥁 10:59pm Alex from Media: ↳ Mike Lupica @10:57 I've been facing the harsh reality that vinyl is sometimes much more expensive than CDs so I'm still buying them.
	🥁 11:01pm Roberto: Hey Mike, thanks for hipping me to Lambrini Girls' Kun-tology 101. It's my current frontrunner for official anti-tRump 2.0 anthem.

	🥁 11:24pm tom tom the pipers son: is dion... 50's-60's brooklyn's omar souleyman? just a thought
	11:24pm Numero 6: ↳ Song: "My One and Only Love" by "Dion" A lot of scratches on this one, yuck!
	11:25pm northguineahills: yeah, you don't want to lick the contact too often w/o cleaning it. gunk will attach to it and corrosion can ensue effing up the connection (i'd do it anyways, but clean it once a monthish)
	11:25pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Roberto @11:22 Co-signed. He lectured Scott Williams and I once when he was at WFMU for our suggestion that he microwave water for tea. One of my favorite life experiences.

	11:27pm Mike Lupica: ↳ kev @11:27 Hell-o!
	11:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Brown Rice" by "Don Cherry" This is my "put on pajamas" music. I gotta get ready for bed. Thanks for the fine tunes, Mike! See you next week at my usual table.
	11:28pm Mike Lupica: Sound quality is extremely low on my list of priorities.
	🥁 11:28pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:27 and an angel has just gotten their wings...

	11:30pm Mike Lupica: Screw it, only 30 minutes left so we're just gonna carry this set up until 12.
	11:30pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Brown Rice" by "Don Cherry" are you playing an 8-track of this?
	11:30pm Mike Lupica: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:30 I wish!
	11:31pm Numero 6: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:28 I'm not one of those audiophools that will pay 3K for a low oxygen cryotreated extension cord, though.
	🥁 11:32pm Chop Scott: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:30 I was remarking on the image--don't see that much these days.
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:30 i have a few dozen 8-track cartridges and a (last i knew. it's in storage) working player/recorder. i don't think i have anything as cool as that Don Cherry album though.
	11:34pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:32 I have the 2001: A Space Odyssey and some Martin Denny exotica 8 tracks. That's about it.
	🥁 11:34pm tom tom the pipers son: i think fabio's store sells the "plunger" type of portable 8 track player....well that was a while ago...
	11:34pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Chop Scott @11:32 right, me too. ...i consider it possible! (although it didn't sound like it)
	11:35pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:34 Three points for mentioning Fabio in the chat! I bumped into him a few weeks ago. Always good to see the man.
	🥁 11:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Miracles" by "Ed Kuepper and Jim White" has a terrific velvets adjacent feel...
	🥁 11:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:35 have not seen him in a long time, but remember he's fun to chat with...
	11:37pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:35 yes! Hadn't noticed that, but now that you mention it, it's inescapable.
	11:37pm StringOFperils: Wow, this is great
	🥁 11:41pm Chop Scott: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:32 I have several working 8 Track players and a small curated odd collection. My favorite is a cart of Bent Fabric "Alley Cat" that when played through a particular Learjet unit actually physically moves & purrs.
	🥁 11:41pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Send me Some Lovin'" by "Little Richard" the quality of this reminds my of hearing quality elvis today... cover an obscure dylan song...though used in the movie, that he flat out knocked out of the park...from '66 spinout soundtrack...with scotty moore and gang
	11:42pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Chop Scott @11:41 haha, Beautiful!
	11:44pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:41 Wait, do carts count as 8-tracks? This is something that has troubled me for decades, but I would consider your word on the matter FINAL.
	11:45pm Numero 6: ↳ Chop Scott @11:41 I found some floppy discs recently with some MIDI files on them.
	🥁 11:45pm tom tom the pipers son: is the gif above cohen from badlands...? looks familiar...very
	11:47pm Numero 6: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:44 Probably more like 1 or 2 tracks.
	11:47pm Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:45 Not sure. I use very random web queries when searching for playlist images.
	🥁 11:47pm tom tom the pipers son: oh another mechano city gif
	🥁 11:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:47 ah i was wondering how you came up with them...
	11:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Chop Scott @11:41 i bought the deck via ebay a few years ago. i had to fix it - beyond what the seller described, and ebay intervened with his trying to rip me off and gave me a full refund. i fixed it but all the tapes are 45+ years old so obviously needed to be refurbished...which isn't hard but i had to learn. i got it for creating; not listening. but i did end up with some legit-issue tapes, along the way.
	🥁 11:50pm Chop Scott: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:44 Basically yes the same idea in format & playback form--an endless loop of tape. The radio carts were however usually mono ads or station announcements. An 8 track is a program of 4 stereo segments sliced into a loop.
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mike Lupica @11:44 carts = cartridges (as opposed to 8-track reel-to-reel)
	11:51pm Mike Lupica: ↳ Chop Scott @11:50 Dude, we totally need to hit Conte's again to talk shop about this stuff.
	11:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Chop Scott @11:50 borne out of 4-track cartridges, which were mono

	12:00am coelacanth∅: she looks like she feels how i feel more often than not.
	12:00am Mike Lupica: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:58 This record is a late breaking revelation for me. It is astonisgingly awesome so far as VU-damaged 80s German post-punk-garage bands go.
	12:00am Mike Lupica: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:00 *astonishingly
	🥁 12:01am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Mike Lupica @12:00 really good...thanks mike...
