Yes, Brian D, I liked the Dry Cleaning track, too.
Brian D 5:52:09 PM
Whole LP is a good'n. Glad WPRB turned me onto them. She has that voice that cuts right through. Cool instrumentation too. Like KPC very 80s.
Brian D 6:00:42 PM
I remember when you were featuring these Prince tracks
KPC (host) 6:01:18 PM
Yes this is the best thing about Welcome 2 America IMO
KPC (host) 6:02:16 PM
The live DVD is pretty good too bc Pirnce is amazing live
Brian D 6:10:53 PM
Was lucky to see one of those Musicology shows in Philly around 2003. Maceo Parker and Candy Dulfer in the band among others. Morris Day and the Time opening up. Patti LaBelle guested on a track. Free Musicology CD for everyone that went in the gate. A great night in Philly.
KPC (host) 6:11:42 PM
Yes I was there too! I have like three Musicology CDs lol.
Brian D 6:20:01 PM
Nice! Love that one. Great return to form there. ("... these are MY rekkids!")
KPC (host) 6:20:55 PM
Yes...and the show was amazing...he did "The Question of U" which gave me chills.
Li Maria 6:22:50 PM

Brian D 6:51:50 PM

Bill Davidson 6:52:00 PM
It's beginning to sound like old Doctor Who music.
KPC (host) 6:52:12 PM

I'm late to the party 🎉 I missed Dry Cleaning. Just FYI they are playing Philly on 5/17. First Unitarian Church!
KPC (host) 6:57:18 PM
Sweet! I hope I can go!
Christine 🦉 6:58:04 PM
Same here. I'm going to be optimistic and buy tickets.
Bill Davidson 6:58:05 PM

KPC (host) 7:17:35 PM

Rob would know! :)
KPC (host) 7:36:22 PM
Birdman of WPRB
KPC (host) 7:36:59 PM
Bass reminds me of Third Stone From The Sun
Christine 🦉 7:38:03 PM
Rob is the Birdman of WPRB, that is true @KPC
KPC (host) 7:38:19 PM
:)
Christine 🦉 7:38:55 PM
Hi @Rob! Have you spotted any cool species lately?
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:40:48 PM
Hi KPC and everyone
KPC (host) 7:41:27 PM
Hi Rob!
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:42:13 PM
Hi Christine! I finally saw the Northern Shrike on the 2nd, went back with my wife yesterday and didn't see it.
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:42:39 PM
But she found two nice sparrows (Field & Am. Tree) and an adult Bald Eagle
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:43:03 PM
And I saw a catbird on Saturday. They are not supposed to be here in January
Christine 🦉 7:44:09 PM
@Rob, wow, that is surpising about the catbird. You don't usually see them in winter.
Christine 🦉 7:44:45 PM
Yay for the bald eagle! That's always a thrill.
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:44:55 PM
@Christine, yep! The person I was with who spotted it had found another one the day before in a different area!
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:46:15 PM
Bald Eagles are a thrill. I'm looking at them extra carefullly now just in case the Steller's Sea Eagle in Maine (it's a northeast Asian species) starts wandering again
Christine 🦉 7:46:42 PM
Birds of Ma(r)y(l)a(nd)
KPC (host) 7:47:24 PM
Haha! Nice
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:47:33 PM
Oh, and there's another northeast Asian bird in/near Baltimore: an adult Slaty-backed Gull, which would be Maryland's first afaik. Don't know when I can go look for it though
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:47:45 PM
@Christine, excellent!!!
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:48:34 PM
I like the Julien Baker album a lot, KPC. I'm glad it's your #12 for the year
Richard from Rocky Hill 7:49:18 PM
I've just embraced "Let It Go" by Triptides! Thanks as always, KPC, for the effects (and, yes, the truths).
KPC (host) 7:49:25 PM
Thanks Rob! Yes I love Julien
Li Maria 7:49:52 PM
I've been listening to an old jayhawks album and this fits right in w their sound
KPC (host) 7:49:52 PM
Thanks Richard! I love Triptides take on psyche pop rock
KPC (host) 7:50:09 PM
Yes Maria definitely similar feel!
Li Maria 7:50:54 PM
@Rob--one of the few times i've seen bald eagles was when i was on the East River
Li Maria 7:51:06 PM
Awesome sight!
Christine 🦉 7:51:39 PM
Top Ten Territory! ✨
KPC (host) 7:52:17 PM
Yes finally! Sadly the show's almost over...next week I will finish.
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:52:19 PM
@Li Maria, East River in NYC? Whichever river, it's always exciting to see them
KPC (host) 7:52:38 PM
Thanks everybody for listening, chatting & watching! See you next week!
Christine 🦉 7:52:39 PM
I'm so glad Jane Weaver's album made the list!
Li Maria 7:52:44 PM
MD--maybe have the name of the river wrong?
KPC (host) 7:52:46 PM
Of course! :)
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:52:49 PM
Thank you KPC!!
Christine 🦉 7:52:58 PM
Thank you, KPC!
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:53:07 PM
East River near Baltimore?
Li Maria 7:53:21 PM
Yes
Li Maria 7:54:10 PM
My grandparents lived down there for a while
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:54:13 PM
Got it! I think I've been there
Li Maria 7:54:33 PM
Saw the eagles while we were scattering their ashes
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:54:56 PM
Aww. *Sniff*
Li Maria 7:55:14 PM
It was a nice sendoff
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:55:25 PM
Indeed
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 7:56:17 PM
I'm a few miles from the Potomac and Bald Eagles occasionally fly over my neighborhood
Li Maria 7:56:31 PM
Cool!
Christine 🦉 7:56:58 PM
That must be amazing to see them flying over your neighborhood @Rob.
Li Maria 7:57:13 PM
I've seen one around here occasionally while walking along the Wissahickon
Li Maria 7:58:22 PM
Thanks for all the great music, KPC! Good night everyone!
Richard from Rocky Hill 7:58:41 PM
@KPC (host) Yes, Triptides seems very The Byrds-ish and not only because of the 12-string electric guitar. Thanks again for all the awesome spins you WPRB hosts send our way. I'd never keep up with great new (or even great old!) music without ya!
Bill Davidson 7:59:20 PM
Thanks KPC!
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 8:00:07 PM
@Christine, totally!
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 8:00:14 PM
Thanks KPC for the show!
Rob from Maryland (WPRB Birdman) 8:00:53 PM
