hi friends

Hello Righteous Ones! Welcome to Recherché!

Hi Rachel!! How are you?

Hi Readie! Hi Rachael! When I hear that Ogden's Theme each week on Recherche, I think my blood pressure goes down about 10 points!!! :) Yay! Let the games begin!

Hi Alan! That is so great to hear!!! The games begin in the second set tonight - I'M READY!

(Let the weekend Begin too)

Yes. Small Faces = Lower BP. A sign of good things to come

Hey Bri D! Great to see you here...I hope you had a decent week!

Hi Bri! Hope you got outside today, Beautiful!

Ya took a nice little walk. Worked from home. Busy busy week tho. Not terrible just a lot of screens, sheets, HTS codes.... boring stuff...

Love that photo of moon in snow, It'll get real high tonight, the Moon that is!!!

AH, it's good you got out..I had myriad computer problems today, working remotely...Help desk champ Richard got me back on track...and I opened up the door to the freshest air!!!

Robin W ! Thought that voice sounded like ISB

Funny, it was cold when I programmed this show...lol!!

@Bri: Robin voice fooled me for a while too..

left-over timpani tracks from last week comin'

Hi Readie, that was the week that was, oh...what a wonderful week. Parts anyway. Kick out the jams!

@Readie: Lookin for my Seatbelt!!

Lol Hi Dan!!!

Hi dan, Welcome!

I cannot fathom why Don’t Look Up! Got a best picture nomination. Oscars are a joke.

Hey, Alan, what’s jumpin’ your way?

@Dan, it's not everyone's cuppa.

It was good, I liked it, up against power of the dog? No way.

@dan: A very expensive joke, ...business as usual...

Power of the Dog was one of the most powerful films I've seen in a while!

The window Christmas lights timer just went on, time to enhance them with white lights.

I hope the son wins best supporting actor.

That was a great performance!

If there’s one shoe in, 100%, mark my words, Summer of Soul wins best documentary.

Wow! this Vox track sounds like a theme for a movie...to.....Mars!

If Nick the Greek were still alive I’d call him place my bet immediately.

I have yet to see SoS...I will have to stteam it now...I never got out to the theatres

@Alan... yeah...the battle is about to begin.... BOOTS

I bet no listener brings up that little deal going on...er, Sunday.

I think it sound more like Broadway, musical. Green Day goes broadway.

whoah nellie, so anthemic!

I watched a pretty good giant croc in the outback thriller last night on YT, Rogue.

.... Here It Comes!!!

All Right! The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat!

Woot! Made it in time for Pt. 2 Here we go!

YEAH!!!

Love the giant track. I know a young guy who’s a ringer for the mascot. Never heard of giant.

Hi DSM!!

Hey Readie!

Hey Kristin!

Hey y’all! I’m with Pethie in NJ tonight!

NJ Addie, hello!

Pethie!

ADDIE HEY! And hi to Pethie!!

So much fun!

Just in time Addie, Christine!! Hi

Christine, hello!

Sounds like Beatles instrumentals in HELP.

Hi Christine, you made it right on time!

Yeah, love those sitars!

Indeed!

Addie, what NJ foods are you and Pethie crushing tonight?

Internationale!

OMG! What a rush!

I'm getting a kick out of these songs.

These bongos are pretty good...

Hey Readie! I would have voted for the Singing Sitars last week, but since you played Ella 💜 I HAD to vote for ELLA!

Hi Danosaur!

Hi, Readie and fellow chatters!

I know what you mean, Christine! AND! Some hot contenders tonight!!!

ORGAN!

Hi Danosaur, addie, Pethie, Dan, DSM, Alan, Kristin 👋

Hi, Christine!

That is some mighty fine organ work.

I've been listening while driving, and just reached my destination. 🎶 🚗

These boots might be made more for frantic dancing

Yeah, @addie, what delicious foods are you & Pethie having?

These are definitely go go boots

Austin Powers style Boots

Ha, Alan I was thinking the same thing.

This is gonna be a tough decision time!

This has promise!

Oooooh Pegggggy!!!

Yeah, I like this one too, Bri!

Sudued but strong beat

I'm a sucker for 60's covers from southeast Asia.

Join in with the drums!

Don't be pitchy, dawg

Wonderful announcing Readie

Oh damn he coming!

thx, DSM!

Oh, this is gonna be weird

A Good Weird??!!!

That intro is a Manson family song btw!

Billy Mumy producing... DANGER, Will Robinson!

The vocals have a demented urgency to them

I believe he actually fears the boots

.....and I thought I was in bad shape!! :)

the boots def hurt him

lol!

Most annoying for sure.

Is it wrong that I like this?

so ROTFL!!!

I am cracking up imagining the faces he must have been making

.....good thing I'm not driving!

What’s up next? Jethro Clampett rendition?

yeah, me too!

Oh, there's definitely a theater of the mind aspect to this performance

...If I vote for this you guys are gonna think I'm a weird as him...

Singapore has my vote!

I could picture the Hellion singing this while swinging around a blade, slashing and burning things

No judgement here, Alan

I did enjoy that quite a bit.

@ DSM yes enjoy for sure!

Ska boots?

Pick it up! Ska BOOTS

Yeah, baby!!

Oh this one is a strong contender! I might abandon sitars for this one!

Selecta boots

uh- oh! Look out Balsara!

Wingtip boots

Banana boots

Liquidators are capitalizing on the beat, but are they a winner???

YOU ALL ARE THE JUDGES!!

Close but no sitar! Sorry

that's true, besides being ska is it that Special(s)?

Will you please replay the winner RR?

I am skanking tho

Not feeling the vocals

Not for me. The winner has to be in another language.

@ Dano..ur Right about vocals..

Ska, bronze medal at best.

Is this Mrs Miller?

yeah!!

One Take is a great nick name

I want a duet with Crispin Glover and Mrs Miller.

Mash up time @Danosaur!

She should hook up with Crispin Glover!

I’ve heard this one! Astonishing, Silver, or...er, better.

Yeah, Danosaur!!

Hey Li Maria!

and Alan!

Hi Li!!!

Was the one take at the request of the recording engineer?

William Shatner to rep the USA!

Hey Readie!!! Hi Alan!

Slightly Painful Boots!

I think these boots were made for Christopher Walken

lol

It’s Miller Time! Like Mom doing it.

AAAAgh Boots with high heels

My vote: Mrs. Miller.

Singapore: Silver.

Sitar’s: Bronze.

Ugh, such a tough choice!

I Vote for Peggy Tann (with Crispin Glover as a close Second cause he's Weird!)

Which one failed their drug test?

One vote each!!!

My vote: Crispin, even with his performance enhancing drugs!

This is tough. Do I go with my heart or with the best technically?

My husband votes for the Hellion

Mrs. miller, my one vote.

Peggy Tann!

Peggy Tann my one vote!

I vote for Peter Herbolzheimer's Rhythm Combination & Brass

I find Boots Olympiad more exciting than the Olympics tbh

@DSM I agree!

No politics!

Same for the Bud Bowl RIP

My daughter votes for the Liquidators

The Nancy Sinatra version had a strong beat, and I think that's a big part of that track and should be capitalized on by any cover of that track...

Liquidators for me and Pethie

I think Li is stuffin’ the box.

ALL RIGHT Liquidators in the LEAD!

Thanks Addie and Pethie!

Yes, like we do in Chicago.

I'm gonna go w Peggy Tann

zFellow listeners in the household are totally allowed!!

My therapist votes for Mrs. miller.

going w crispen so it doesn’t turn into a runaway

...My imaginary dog votes for Peggy, (kidding)

therapists don't count unless they are sitting beside you!!

Thx, Mark!

She’s on the sofa with me!

I have several Panzerottis in the house that all have strong and differing opinions. They are all delicious tho.

really? do you affirm? @Dan?

(Wishing Bobby Gentry did a Boots)

CRISPIN GLOVER ❤️‍🔥

@dsm he does do an interesting version of never say never !

@MrM Noice!!

Look, My One Vote, is in first person. Anyone else needs to log on. I rest my case your Righteous.

@mark, that album is a solid listen front to back i do believe

Does Readie vote to break a tie???

BRIAN !! Vote!!!

No, flip a boot. Heel or toe.

My heart is with Crispen. It sounds like he needs a win.

Christine and BrianD out there, cast that vote!

I'm so excited! did we do a station ID???

Cheers, DJ Readie Righteous! Fun series of Games! 🎶🏆🎵

Yes, we did..it was a quick one...

Thx, Mr M!!!!

DO NOT RUSH THE JUDGES< PLEASE!!

This has a Phil glass deal going on.

@ dan Yes

Right Allen? Haunting.

@dan Repetition,Chord change..

Even Phil glass meets stereolab.

I went to a CRISPIN GLOVER movie and he was in attendance! YaddaYaddaYadda …he wouldn’t stop staring at me.

Mr. M I’m dying of jealousy.

At MrM- sounds like a creepy evening? did you love it?

luv too much

Did you connect?

Well, you are rather fetching, MrM. You must be used to that sort of thing.

Got the hell outta there

do tell us the yaddayada part :)

LOL!!!! MrM

MrM was it What Is It? I saw him present that and he did a reading afterwards.

You could've ended up on his mantle, MrM

So scare

@ Readie: I'm Lovin' the way your show always evolves musiclally... Nice!

@Alan, thanks...awww shucks!

Peggy Tann I guess

unenthusiastic vote by BrianD

You spelled CRISPIN GLOVER incorrectly, Brian D

@-ᎷяM - I went to the premiere of Twin Peeks 'fire walk with me' and Sheryl Lee kept looking at me. Very weird, yet flattering.

I hope everyone is good tonight.

I haven't been this excited since last weeks show!

Awesome, ROFFLE! SHERYL LEE ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

What planet is Crispin Glover representing?

Thx for your vote, Bri D!

"Love" ly tune

Anyone else in the Brian D household- cast your vote if you wish!

Oh, and yes, your pronunciation was correct, Readie. We here at the O'Saur household thank you.

I just woke up after a nap, so I feel silly voting. But the sitar o'boots was good.

Mrs. Miller. That picture. She’d bake everyone a pie.

I feel like I'm in a 60's era elevator.

Thx Roffle, votes are still coming in!

...Tough being a judge...I should just attach a seismograph to the floor to help in the decision...

@-ᎷяM - Honestly if I was not with my girlfriend I would have asked Sheryl Lee out on the spot!

Yay! Soul Coughing.

Super Bon Bon! <3

Was listening to the Soul Coughing version of Suzy Snowflake at Christmas.

Soul Coughing did a few tunes I cannot get out of my head.

Roffle… two of youse shoulda taken LAURA PALMER to dinner! #MadAtYou

Super Bon Bon yeah!

Screenwriter's Blues is a classic

Imagine Soul Coughing doing a cover of the Olympic Theme

Read Mike Doighty's book. Some good stories and insights into the music biz.

@-ᎷяM _ IKR? I would have asked David lynch too, but he was late to the event stuck at SeaTac. lol

We need a vote to break the tie!!!

i dont have time to figure out what you are voting on because i need to go out now so i will cast my vote for whatever candidate promises more pizza to the constituency

My girlfriend votes Crispin, but feels weird voting because she doesn't ever chat. But if that don't matter...

Chatter adjacent votes

@ Uno: you can click on the contenders below on the playlist to get an idea...

Where did @Christine go?

I have not heard all the selections but GOLD FOR SITARS!

Yeah Jimbeaux!!

I'll vote @)___(@

Liquidators !!!

Los holys

Yeah! Mary Ellen!

More classics! Feelies!

Liquidators, please

I didn't catch them all. I don't wanna be the tie breaker just can't do it 😆
