New Jersey’s veteran punk band, the Accelerators, still play their ode to Vernon Township’s infamous “Action Park" on occasion.
Ossy Hyouka 8:19:20 PM
Action like Nadine Sutherland and Terror Fabulous, which was played on SOTC today!
Ossy Hyouka 8:20:44 PM
It's indeed a party in Philadelphia, everyday, especially at max on the weekends with WDAS's Mimi Brown and Doc B, with the best and rave jams of hip hop, rnb, reggae, afrobeats etc
David Shortell 8:21:43 PM
Alternative TV’s “Action Time Vision” didn’t get played on the recent vision-themed program. If I don’t hear it tonight, I’ll wait for a time-themed program.
Commie Francis (host) 8:23:46 PM
yeah i think i was saving it for the action show, whoops
Christine 🦉 8:24:15 PM
Good choice @Commie! 💯
David Shortell 8:26:34 PM

TOMORROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Commie Francis (host) 9:15:54 PM

Alfred Ruel 9:26:43 PM
Hi Connie, I just tuned in, and I noticed some killer punk in the last set, and then you mentioned you were playing songs about action, and I immediately thought to log into the chat and recommend the song you are playing at this moment. You are doing a very good job.
Commie Francis (host) 9:27:17 PM
it's always nice when that happens!
Alfred Ruel 9:30:03 PM
Love NOU, love hellacopters, poison idea, Costello, dog faces Herman’s, trex, headcoats, deathreat, etc. excellent!

Ambrose Hughes 10:19:08 PM
I'm REALLY ENJOYING these songs @Commie 😃
Colin 10:20:03 PM
today, my most exciting discovery is a band called the Caesars
jimbeaux 10:20:19 PM
Moar billy
Colin 10:20:29 PM
how has that bullet missed me!
Colin 10:21:58 PM
lol, I share you opinion of the clash. Last night I endured several minutes of a guy telling me of their genius.
Commie Francis (host) 10:26:17 PM
i feel like they suffer a bit from being held up as the sole worthwhile band in punk by many people who don't really know much about punk
Commie Francis (host) 10:26:38 PM
like they're the public enemy of punk. they deserve a lot of praise but people overdo it and overlook everything else
Colin 10:28:46 PM
my friend was a teenager in south london during the late 70's. he was a believer. Don't get me wrong. the clash do what they do really well. I really enjoy two songs. but I also enjoyed Big Audio Dynamite.
Colin 10:29:36 PM
that big audio cassette lived in my car for quite a bit. I can't remember any of the songs tho.
Colin 10:31:29 PM
there is so much awesome going on with cinnamon stick
Commie Francis (host) 10:31:54 PM
i like it a lot better than the superbowl shuffle!
TAndy 10:33:39 PM
Cinnamon Stick & Hoots Mon <3 <3
Ambrose Hughes 10:33:45 PM
Ouch aye!
Ambrose Hughes 10:34:03 PM
*Och*
Colin 10:38:01 PM
I just googled Lord Rockingham's XI tshirt and ....... guess what everybody is getting for christmas this year!!
Ambrose Hughes 10:38:45 PM
@ Commie, coincidentally, The Clash released their first single, White Riot on 18/3/77
Commie Francis (host) 10:38:56 PM
you can mail mine to the station!
Commie Francis (host) 10:39:09 PM
oh dang i almost insulted them on their birthday!
Ambrose Hughes 10:40:51 PM
Heheh! I've a feeling they'd not give a rats!
Colin 10:42:57 PM
dude, the comic ripples of the clash's birthday spawned our convo on them.
Ambrose Hughes 10:45:18 PM
@Colin, s'up dude?!
jimbeaux 10:46:40 PM
Thx commmmmmiiiieeeeeeeeee!
Colin 10:46:43 PM
hello bo. I hope your day has been one they all will tell stories of in the futre.
TAndy 10:47:32 PM
Ah I forgot to say. Good evening Colin, Jimbeaux, and Ambrose!
Ambrose Hughes 10:48:42 PM
AH, YAS! Colin, probably not!😝
Commie Francis (host) 10:49:02 PM
this isn't a band andy played in his show but it could have been!
Ambrose Hughes 10:49:24 PM
Hello Tandy!👍
Commie Francis (host) 10:50:22 PM
i always assumed it was t andy
Ambrose Hughes 10:51:01 PM
I hunted with ferrets FYI!
TAndy 10:51:29 PM
I prefer my name be pronounced "Tand-eye" ;)
Colin 10:53:17 PM
I pet sat a pair of ferrets for a couple of months. They were so friendly, but worked very hard at destroying my apt.
Colin 10:53:35 PM
I can see why they would be good on a hunt.
Commie Francis (host) 10:53:41 PM
ferrets can be sweet but also stinky
Commie Francis (host) 10:53:45 PM
lil weasels
TAndy 10:54:18 PM
when u wake up to the sound of aggressive chittering and find drywall chunks all over the floor
Colin 10:54:26 PM

TAndy 10:54:57 PM
minks, ferrets, weasels, otters.... noodle animals are the best
Colin 10:55:45 PM

Ambrose Hughes 10:58:15 PM

TAndy 10:58:20 PM

TAndy 10:58:58 PM
