Hey Commie Francis

Hi Zapshifter X! It's been a while!

Good evening everyone! 😁

😘

Hi Andrew!

MWAH

best bad girl who likes bad boys lines ever in this song. he's good bad but he's not evil

what color are his eyes? i dunno, he's always wearing shades

YES!

Bésame Mucho!!

👄

hello there!

another Andrew! Hello! and hi Jeff and PETHIE

Pethie in chat 💙

Hello everyone

Hello

Hello, Commie and everybody! I’m here for some kisses.

Well pucker up cuz its gonna be kisses-a-plenty!!

i'm going for an ALMOST 100% non cynical show today!

smooooochy tunes

Classic! Classic like Total's "Kissin You" 💟

This song should be called "THERE"

Absolutely loved that digital underground track a few minutes ago 💙

There's always next year

I don't think there are many raging hardcord songs about kissing? I'm trying to think of some, but I can't

i just gave up on the idea of playing any punk at all

well ok there is a little

The Saints' cover of "Kissin' Cousins" is the closet thing I can think of

there's a harum scarum song about kissing but i'm not playing it this year

This show has been great so far, so punk free is fine!

i'm going to be away the rest of february so i'm also playing a high proportion of Black performers

Lynn Goldsmith - stage name - Will Powers

yes that is correct

She needed a side gig from photography

she actually still has an active will powers website!

You could say that we all started with.... a kiss

Yoko Ono's "Kiss Kiss Kiss" deserves as least as much airplay as its A-side.

The army ain't so bad. They paid for my college education

Yay!!!

david shortell guess what i was adding to the playlist while you were typing that

Yeah KISS KISS KISS goes a wee bit beyond a kiss, but please play it

Ah, ooooo. Yoko Ono 🌸

Aka Yoko Lennon

argh I have to leave chat but I'll be tuned in till late! Loving this selection, have a good night and a happy Sunday everyone 💙💙

night Andrew, thanks for listening!

The Pharcyde, AAAAYYYYYEEEEE!!!!

yes, I love this Pharcyde track!

Breaking my previous message for the following: PHARCYDE YESSSSSSSS

i am very prejudiced towards this era of hip hop

Most of this era can't "pass us by"

Dooley Wilson’s “As Time Goes By” may be a bit of a stretch in spite of its famous lyric “...a kiss is just a kiss”. (I bring this up as an excuse to remind y’all that “Casablanca” will screen 3:00 tomorrow at the State Theatre with accompaniment by the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra.)

https://www.stnj.org/event/casablanca-njso

i thought about as time goes by but probably not this time. i think i'll do a valentine's kissing show for the next year or two

I don’t remember if I’ve ever heard "Mr. Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" (either Dionne Warwick’s or Shirley Bassey’s version). John Barry wrote it to be the theme for “Thunderball”, but it was ultimately rejected in favor of a different theme song by Tom Jones.

WENDY RENE 💟

Yeah, now I'm in the mood

Great selections, DJ CommieFrancis❣️

thanks!

bill just said "you

re playing a lot of oldies tonight"

not this song though, it's only from.... 42 years ago

lottsa oldies fit a cynicism free show ! :)

ok ray manzarek we get it

❌❣️💋

X-RAY SPEX 💝

Freddy Cannon’s “Patty Baby” is a great tune. When watching the documentary “WBCN and the American Revolution”, I learned that he recorded a brief altered version of the song to serve as their station ID.

i played the wrong equals song so i'm doign a DOUBLE SHOT

(Bill, I heart the Oldies! 🎶🎵 You too??)

The Equals never played in the US, but I’m glad I got to see Derv Gordon sing “I Get So Excited” at his American east coast debut 5 years ago.

i have mentioned this before but my brother used to live very near THE electric avenue

they used to have an eddie grant mural but i think it's gone now. there's still a famous david bowie mural close by

I missed the Poly Styrene documentary when it screened at Asbury Park’s Showroom Cinema 4 nights ago. I guess I’ll have to catch it next month when it debuts on some new-fangled form of television.

too much fun! and then we’ll take it higher!

it came out the other day on something. apple tv?

i haven't seen it yet, i'm reluctant because i heard it was sad. i had tickets to see it in clark park last summer but i was not well and couldn't go

this is pure hell

yes it is

absolutely pure hell

If one of Cliff Jackson’s Krazy Kats plays a wrong note, does he hit him with a brick?

his name's cliff jackson not ignatz!

I really couldn't believe how good Pure Hell was when I first listened to them, which was sometime in the 2000s

BETTY DAVIS ❤️‍🔥

I first knew about her from her song, Live, Love and Learn on wprb a few years ago 💛🌸🍀

really awesome to hear this Betty Davis interview!

yeah i was so psyched to get this!

great song selections too although i mean, you pretty much can't go wrong

Neat that George School is a mile up the road from me, never knew!

yeah i forgot to mention it's right around here!

😘♥️🍫

goodnight everybody!

I really liked that WheelUP song
