Hello Uneasy Listeners! I'm Pethie, filling in for Commie Francis!

My first theme is THEMES

Evenin'!

Hellooooo

Hello Andy! Thanks for being here!

Good evening, Pethie! You sounded a bit like you were in a cavernous empty room. Otherwise everything is coming through just fine

Howdy Andy W and addieeeeee

Yeah, my mic set up got bonked somehow. Not sure how to fix!

Hellooooo rob!

oh, and hello Rob and Addie!!!

Howdy Rob. Watching Sisters With Transistors today... Got any tracks by Suzanne Ciani from her film scores?

Hi ya Pethie

Hi addie !

Hello Matthew!

Ahoy Matthew!

Hi hi Rob from Maryland

Hi Andy !

Hello Pethie! ☕ I'm psyched for some Power Listening!⚡ (or Uneasy Clashing, whichever)

Hey PRB fam 👋 How is everybody tonight?

and in case you missed it the first theme was "Love's Theme"

This tune has got to be one of the coolest grooves ever. Firast heard it on Diaspar in the early 80's.

Ahoj Matthew and Christine

Hello Christine, I may be MIA for a spell, trying to figure out what's wrong with my MIC setup.

Ooh, I like Power Listening, Christine!

I dunno, Uneasy Clashing is more real to me 😉

Hi Matt/Christine!

Andy, "Theme for Great Cities" was one of my favorites in the early 80s

Cold Cave Theme from Tomorrow Land?

Hi Andy, Matt, addie, Rob!

I'm diggin' this first theme of THEMES 💛

Hi Christine great to see you again lol

How is everyone doing tonight? Everyone’s knees in tip top shape? 😂

Uneasy Power Listening Clashing ( I cant remember what this id from jeez -that horn section is locked in, a studio?

3rd Man wow!

(sound is very good)

KNEES

Hey powerpeople! Great show last night Pethie!

Thank you jimbeaux!

Knees are good here. Yo jimbeaux 🍅

I need to know the song you played as background when you first open the show and started talking? It's a 70's instrumental song. Can you tell me what it was?

BTW its not on the playlist

oh yes

Love's Theme- by Love Unlimited Orchestra

It' might have even been made by a studio in Philly but not sure

(Barry White)

Thank you so much! Much appreciated!

You are very welcome. Thank you for listening!

Love's Theme was a popular TV station break background back then. Maybe the the theme for the old Million Dollar Movie?

ah!

My knees are fine. Pethie's sound is even better

Reminds me of my father driving through the streets of downtown Philly in the 70's. Thanks again!

Loving this of Montreal song

Rob, your knees ARE fine, indeed.

Yes! I discovered it doing this show, and I adore it.

My knees are doing surprisingly well these days, all things considered.

My knees are being warmed by an ancient cat.

Oh, that's lovely!

I can’t believe how many jigsaw songs there are!

Cats were going to be my fourth theme...

or rather fifth, if you count the theme of themes

My knees got a workout in Letchworth last weekend.

Ooo, that looks like a lovely place for a hike, Andy! Day trip or camping?

Pethie, I was going to ask if you knew the McGarrigles song, and lo & behold, there it was on the radio

Love those McGarrigles....

They are good. My wife doesn't like them as much as I do tho :-(

Hmmm. Usually I'm the one who loves the women who sing, and my husband doesn't. He tolerates KB and Joni. He does love Nina Simone though.

Annie Haslam ! wow

She has such a powerful voice!

My wife loves Radiohead, while I like the women who sing

and range

Rob, that's interesting and splendid

Btw Pethie, the group Tiger Trap did a song called "Puzzle Pieces". No jigsaws though

Oh darn, I missed that one!

No worries, that wasn't a request

@addie, we did a day trip, about 15 miles total, got caught in a big storm. Did Buttermilk Falls the day before, too.

I like this rhythm 👏

Agree, it’s a bop!

Sounds like an adventure, Andy!

Sounding great, Pethie 🎙

@Pethie, not a request -- my wife tells me that there is a Radiohead song called "Jigsaw Falling Into Place". It would not have fit with the other jigsaw songs

Oh Rob, i must confess that song was in the rough edit of this playlist but it was excised for time!

Thank you, Christine!

Aww, my wife would have been so so happy to have heard that song 😺

Little late, but 💚 PJ Harvey

Oh yes, she is brilliant.

Sufjan Stevens The Dress Looks Nice on You Hit a little bit different . Good tune

Evening pethie and clashers

It's such a quiet, sweet little song. Hello Selecta! I enjoyed your show today, as always!

Just listened back to spinitron sample too

Some tunes just grab ya

Aw, Depeche Mode ❤

Sufjan's stuff is pretty swell, as a rule.

Hey, Jerry! Let me echo Pethie in saying your show was super enjoyable.

That Munay Ki Dub you played really grabbed my ear again, like when I heard it before.

Thanks have so much fun always

yes love Depeche Maode great set Pethie

*Mode ( & PJ Harvey as well btw)

(Selecta Jerry great show boosted my soul)

Hi ye Pethie!

Hello all in the chat!

Hello Ambrose! Thanks for being here

Hey, Bo! What's the craic?

Hi ye Christine, well, my knee doesn't seem to hurt today😊

🔥🔥🔥

hi hi Ambrose

Hi Matthew!

@Bo, good, good 👍

💚💛❤ 💃

hi, hi!

Hello Alastair!!! <3

i(dk where you got this but love it)

The Cat and Owl version Tune!!

the magic of Sp*t*fy

hi hi Alastair !

Please dont let us see behind the curtain pethie

I mean, the magic of powerclashing!!!

This is so cool🦉

Another strange cover to tell my friends about 😁

I love how it plods along. I was going to use it as bed music, but I loved it so much I wanted to let ie flow

This is soooo good

OH YEAH

This Johnny Cash song has a ...slightly looser feel.

brought to you by high test coffee with a little extra

Thank goodness the story ends with him on the couch.

Never heard this by J.C.

Yeah, it's sort of a comedy song album he did.

Johnny had a snootful!

The words to this Gertrude Lawrence song differ from how I heard it from Witch Hazel in the 1956 Chuck Jones short “Broom-Stick Bunny”.

Ah! I'll have to track down that version!

Bugs is always messing with stuff

Ultrasónicas 🧡

🔥💨💨💨💨

OMG, I am just buying this comp already. Every time I hear a track, it just grabs me! 💿

it's so much fun!

LSP RIP 🔥

Classic black ark sound

so sweet and mellow

Upsetting station

Re my last post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7dX4nVB4vg

Always apprecilove your reggae selections Pethie

Oh, thank you, Selecta! You make me blush.

Is Amyl playing anywhere close besides the sold-out Brooklyn show in December?

I do dig that witch.

This set = 💯

Christine, tusen takk!

@David, no I don't think so. Just that one night in Brooklyn, then they're back to Europe. 😢

@Pethie, rått! 🇳🇴

More 🔥

When I cover for Commie, I like to try and find short songs and songs I think she might dig. It's always so fun to formulate a list!

Final ten minutes? As MrMalcontent 💀 says, "I'm cry 😭"

We cry all! Love that Breeders track

Superb showwwwwwwwww, Pethie!📡📡📡

Maysa makes my heart sing

hi ya jimbeaux

Oh, folks, I'm so glad you are enjoying the music!

It's amazing how much great music you packed into the last 3 hours, Pethie. Thank you for the mini-themes! ✨🙏 Goodnight, PRB fam.

what Christine said Good night Christine

G'night, Matt 🌛

Goodnight folks! Thank you so much for listening tonight! Have lovely Sundays, and remember pledge.wprb.com
