yeah yeah yeah yeah

I forgot today was Bad Friday 😰

playing this is a little more on the nose than i would usually like

but it's such a great song

Can't be any better fitting though, brings me back to around this time last year when I'd tune in and hear some sinister but fun sounding tunes

GET IN HERE

@ Dana K (host) Loved hearing "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus. Have to say ... I saw the 1994 first run of Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" about the schlocky-brilliant cheapo flicks auteur who directed Lugosi's last films. When Martin Landau made his first appearance as Bela, I was freaking out: "It's him, it's Lugosi! But it can't be, he's been dead 40 years! But it IS him!" Not surprised when Landau subsequently won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

by far my favorite Tim Burton movie!

@ Dana K (host) And you're following up with Otoboke Beaver! I am in Friday Night Writing With WPRB in the Background Heaven !!! Thanks -- and hope you feel better very soon.

thanks so much, richard! glad you're enjoying!

I need to watch more Burton at some point :( I'm known for having missed out on so many classics

@ Dana K (host) Here's _proof_ that I'm enjoying the show: See my smile => :-))

I must now get ready for work, then catch up on more "fun" stuff when I get there... Yaaay

safe travels, TAndy

HELLO Dana K!

hello!!!

I just purchased a Cras

Crass Shirt!

nice!

i remember buying a crass patch when i was a very young teenager because i saw their logo on all the cool punk jackets. i never actually listened to them until my mid-twenties!

Ha! Likewise!

when will this other radio station appearance be ?

June 26th 5-6pm on WFMU - they archive all their shows online at wfmu.org

i hope you’re properly introduced as the foremost scottish punk authority :)

that's actually a fellow i know from new england who put together an entire scottish DIY discography, but i try!

THIS!

some try, you succeed! do you travel Russian doll like to ‘81 for these sounds? :)

luckily it's much easier to find all kinds of music in 2022 than it would have been in 1982

ha one of my fav IDs. like the jeepster mic music too

The sax on this is priceless!

yeoooooo my people!

hi jimbeaux!!

goose!

M A G M A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A

there is no dana, only zeuhl

omg k yoshimatu…..

i randomly tuned in after coming back from running errands and was very pleasantly surprised

this is clowntronics-core!

so truuuu!

i’ve def played him too much…

Hi, DJ DanaK!

Hi DJ AMEENA! My phone automatically capitalizes your name! 😜

weird story is a couple months ago yoshimatu somehow dug up a random old playlist from a show where i played him and tweeted about it

hey mr mal!

That is an amazing story! It’s just MrM. Even less to type!

@ameena that is SO cool. i love when stuff like that happens

I think it was Model Zero that totally ruled when we were driving home. Need to figure it out!

let me know when you figure it out! that song did rule

The Running Redlights chat disappeared 🥺😭

I think Maximum Joy happened while we were driving so I suspect I have pinned it down. Good stuff throughout.

thanks for listening, jon!

Always. Wish we could have made poor time so there was more to enjoy.

i feel that way often. i love having a short commute but it doesn't give me enough radio time.

This song is delightful!

hi pethie!!

many deejays in the chat!!!

Hello! Ooh, and this song too, of course! Never enoughACR

Greetings and Salutations to One and All!

Imagine Friday the 13th but with this as a soundtrack. Would watch!

Oh yes. (CV)

Friday the 13th part N: Jason Takes Hamburg

giggles manically

this is dope. Thx

yr welcome!

dude, I was driving home, windows down, sunroof open, that exek song on the radio. It may have been a moment.

yesss i love creating a moment

Looking forward to seeing it featured in People magazine™️

Moments in Creation: A Pure Moods Exploration

i wish they would ask me to compile the next pure moods volume

the last couple of weeks have been a challenge to be polite. needed a moment. wprb provides!

Pure Moogs

lol

Keep it together, Colin! I’m rooting for you!

jim, there is strong chance nothing in my life will ever be a mood moving forward. moog or bust!

Ooh chat was popping. I've loved the past hour of dank dubby beats, and now this! Perfect for this humid foggy night. Still gonna be quite busy so I'll be tuned in, thanks for the show DJ Dana K!

don't worry mr m, I never wipe out.

and hi tandy! good luck doing the work

Have a good night everyone, and Mr💀 & Colin!

happy to see that the chat woke up! take care tandy!

i've got the air conditioner running and it's still too humid in this room

I tuned on the ceiling fan tonight. humidity can be challenging...

Yeah, the fat hell with it being 93° today?!? It’s spring!

btw, new Fatamorgana!😍

but its a dry heat 93 right?......

it's TOO WET

Yeah. 🥺 You trying to win the Awful Wearher Award? 🥇

Oh, y’all gettin thunderstorms?!? You WIN 🥇 🏆

BLANCMANGE 💟

Hehehehehe that last song sounded like it was from the video game splatoon (wet jibberish vocal noises)

@ Dana K (host) Sorry if I've missed this info, but what's the excellent sinister-perky music you play behind your mic breaks?

La Vida es un 🐭

You're welcome 😜

since I learned what a Fatamorgana was (right here on dbtf) I am always looking for it to happen every time I am by a large body of water.

every time, I take my eyes off the road too much on bridges.

@Richard, it's a cover of T. Rex's "Jeepster" by a 70s novelty Moog band called "Elektrik Cokernut"

Now that’s fun!

CHEER-ACCIDENT❣️

@ Dana K (host) Very cool musical genealogy to that number, thanks.

Wowzers this Epic BANGER

right!!! just heard it for the first time today, was amazed

Play it again!

Wait. Now I wanna hear this one!

Good thing you’re the DJ!

this is the ambience i promised

@ Dana K (host) I have no ambivalence about your ambience, it's marvelous.

aw, thank you!

DJ DanaK! Many thanks for sharing all these GEMS! I Twerked, I cry, I vibes - all the Pure Moods! Big cheers and kind regards!

cheers to you MrM! thanks for twerking in tonight!

all these drum machines tonight is the funky friday I've been waiting for.

Thank you Dana K. 😍

the other day i was showering and i heard from my bathroom window a car playing a song that sounded exactly like the WPRB funky drummer of tech difficulties/doom - it FREAKED me out

sounds like Neu!

I'm sure a lot of listeners (raises own hand) get triggered by too.

Take a bath from now on 😜

and MMMIIKKKKEEE!

it's Harmonia! practically Neu!

Hey Colin...long time no see!

from now on I only bathe to Bath Boy

It’s a PALINDROME!

mike, yeah we need to remedy that

indeed.... I am doing work at a place you need to see.... emeapp.org

😧👀

ok, almost ime for some Music With Space!

new framed words at bed bath and beyond, I only bath to bath boy....🤣

Oh no
