Excited for this show. And I miss MikeLupica.

He misses you too

Ha!

Hello, DJ Casey!!

Hello to you! It's been a while

This is a serious jam!

Get back to weekly radio shows! Please and thank you!

This is a nice start. But I also miss Mike. No offense Casey.

None taken. I also miss Mike

The man is a legend

And check out the links for access to music on the track listings! Big cheers to you, DJ Casey!

One of the features I really like about the new playlist system over the old one

Next send email blast to all other DJs informing them how to access that feature! 🙃 Seriously

missed the beginning of jon solomon's show, glad i stayed tuned, miss the downer party on in the afternoons

@Mr. Malcontent then we'd have to teach all these young bloods who missed MySpace about HTML

I appreciate that when I hear the warbly record it is time for Casey to speak but when I hear the OTHER warbly record it is time for Mickey to speak...

Need to get my hands on a copy of Live/Dead, but even then I won't have the speck of debris in the grooves of the station copy that tells me where to leave the stylus

I wanna hear the rest of Notes With Attachments

It's very good

Nice!

And I’m only 12 years old or some chit, so I don’t understand “MySpace” or “HTML” either. Buttttt, I know I don’t care. 🤓

Downer Party! Miss my Sunday nap.

You'll be hearing a lot more of me with the drive coming up

Time to put a kid to bed and then watch a monkey and lizard fight. Have a great rest of your show, Casey!

Thanks Jon! Enjoy the show

A surpriser downer partier! I am downer 4 it.

Get down at the Downer Party

Up for the Downer Stroke

...and Palberta is the new Magic Band!

They are magical

clever girl 🦖

THE GIF💚

The band's music does not fit the vibe of that scene but I think of it every time I read their name

music can kill

Much like a velociraptor

Music is the weapon of the future.

much like a velociraptor

All these closed Philly venues are making me super sad.

...much like the velociraptor.

The Downer Party is successful!

such a Downer. Party.

completely inadvertent cause they flowed nicely between each other but I couldn't ignore it

Having mixed the obvious pun, I sink deeper into depression.

There was some weird cryptic sign that Golden Tea House was coming back a year ago when Rick from Pile had a tour booked but unfortunately nothing came of it

It _is_ a great track-to-track experience Casey. I will happily concede that!

Still amazes me how Mannequin Pussy blew up after their second album after seeing them play the opening slot at a few shows back in the day (2015)

My two main memories of them are seeing Marissa wearing a homemade shirt that said "BLACK FLAG FUCKING SUCKS" Johnny Rotten-style and at PhilaMOCA a packed house that was unbelievably motionless for their set

Intense SHAME ⚡⚡⚡

So intense

nice noise

Side 2 of this record is just nonstop intensity

dark is good too, or good is dark too

I agree and concur with kentman

new music from CLOUD NOTHINGS is fun timez

and from MOGWAI ❣️

The Cloud Nothings song is probably my favorite from them since Here and Nowhere Else. I'm less familiar with Mogwai but this song is a riffy good time

That’s nice news about Cloud Nothings. And check out more stuff from MOGWAI!

Very nice show you’ve put together here for us to hear, DJ Casey! Looking forward to the next half!

I agree and concur with Mr M

It's gonna get heavier and it's gonna get weirder and not necessarily in that order

whaddi miss whatdimiss

great playlist so far

i dont remember is this the show casey releases the cracken or the one where he does the rap opera he created in his

basement during quarentine

Definitely more of a Kraken show

Kraken is a United States-based cryptocurrency exchange and bank, founded in 2011. The exchange provides cryptocurrency-to-fiat-money trading, and provides price information to Bloomberg Terminal. Wikipedia this type? or the other?

Think about this moment. Writhing Squares into Cabaret Voltaire on broadcast radio! Lucky us!

this has been a fantastic show!

Agreeee!

Thank you all so much!

No squares here but Writhing Squares

And now to clear away the flower children like a sound tech after a jam band show

Thoroughly enjoying all these nice selections! Thanks, DJ Casey!

My heart is racing.

Shifting into maximum aggrodrive

And I appreciate the notes on the track listings too 😃

Glad people are finding them useful

ACES!

When will you be back on air??

😊

Thank you all for tuning in! The drive is live Thursday 4/8

I'll be co-hosting two shows on Monday the 12th

Great! I hope the co-host name will appear on the schedule too!

I appreciate the leadin with Bongzilla!

DJ Casey, good on ya for the great show!! Catch ya laters!! Kind regards!!

@Flex They are probably my all-time favorite metal band and I've missed seeing them about 3 times

When they're able to start touring again I *will* not miss them

would kill to see them live too

hopefully soon!!

Heaveeeeeeeee

I'll be sure to hit you up if I see any Philly dates in the future
