Maynard G Krebs? NO! Dizzy Gillespie for President!

he's just DECIDING the president

Nice to hear some bluegrass!

oops i forgot to announce the song

Make that another one who doesn't know what is going on. *raises hand* Hi Commie...thanks for subbing in for Ameena✨

Playing ping pong and listening

Hi Commie and Wes!!!!

And Eso and Christine!!

hi richard, esoterica, christine, wes!

Hello everyone

Hi Commie and everyone!

Hi Eso, Rob, Wes & richard 👋

Love Heavenly! digging out my vinyl!!

Hi Christine!

Hiya Christine

I’m in a weird uncharacteristically metal/hard mood, and this is hitting the spot

it's mick ronson!

Yay for Heavenly too! I am a bum cuz I blew off Rob & Amelia’s invite to their words & music show in a medieval abandoned church.

RONNO.

whattt when was this liz??

were you in the uk?

2 big Ronson fans here!!

also how could you blow that off

hell yeah esoterica! love his solo stuff and maybe sort of controversially prefer the ronson period of bowie to all else

HBD, Ronno!

controversial in some circles!

it's his birthday??

what a weird coincidence, i had no idea, i'd better play another song!

It’s in mid-June. I was originally gonna plan a trip to the U.K. and visit them in Kent, but Hattie got into an art program that requires us to drive to Michigan and there isn’t enough time between when her school year ends and when we gotta go to the Midwest to fit in a UK trip

ok that's understandable

It is the anniversary of Nick Ronson's birthday today. Nice!

*Mick* ughhh

there's some current-ish famous musician whose name is way too close to mick ronson and i always perk up and then go "oh"

it's not nick ronson though

Darn L Bot! Love you all :) Having trouble with my 102 year old. Will you post this Commie?

Hey CF! Ameena off tonight?

yep ameena is probably at some cool beach party or something

luckyyyy

a clown beach

Love your picks! Commie Francis !

Haha TAndy!!!

thanks richard!

loving this song omg

it's a free download at statuesque.bandcamp.com!

just downloaded! Currently lamenting the lack of functionality to add free releases to my collection or even wishlist

yeah it's annoying!

TMBG <3333333

FUN!!

you should check out the collections of earlier stuff too, i love statuesque and think they should have become world famous years ago

Duly noted

gn all!!

Look out Clown Beach...I'm on the way!🤡🏊‍♀️

Ha ha jimbeaux! me too.

Commie, I love Mott the Hoople Mick stuff and Slaughter.

yep and play don't worry!

Oh yeah!! Great stuff.

i feel like this song is proto-new wave!

Love this song! And totally, commie

YES! ESO!

Hey it’s also Verden Allen’s bday today (from Mott the Hoople), he’s 78

You got it, Richard!

no really good night:(

bill would be very happy if i played all the way from memphis haha

HBD Verden Allen!!

Oh yeah

Evening The Right to Remain, Uneasytronics!

Bill and I have similar tastes haha

"Dracula" was published on this date in 1897

BOC all

All day, right?

...and Marshall Allen from the Arkestra turned NINETY EIGHT yesterday and is still tearing it up on stage

ok i've got a dracula song

Sylvester <33333333

Sylvester 💜 I woke up with Do Ya Wanna Funk playing in my head this morning.

Wow, jimbeaux

and an arkestra song why not

I almost played Stars by Sylvester today and then went with a solo Patrick Cowley track instead

@commie I have mixed feelings about Hollywood Vampires; great concept & execution, they're just bad people LOL

@jimbeaux, thanks for mentioning it. I see on Facebook that tomorrow DJ Jerry Gordon will be doing a Sun Ra Arkestra show 🚀 🪐

@Lizbot, thank you for playing that!

this week was both sun ra and marshall allen's arrival days

👨‍🍳♥️🕺

i did play a 26 minute myth science arkestra song on saturday

Nice

hi chef!

*looks for MrM* 🧛🏼

it was, commie...thank you! and thanks Christine for mention Jerry's show tomorrow...afraid I will be working :{

Randy i never heard of hollywood vampires and maybe i would be better off if i had not

Christine the gang is def all here

Johnny depp+Joe perry+Alice coopet

*cooper

yeesh

I felt sure that Soul Dracula might summon you know who.

i like alice cooper the band

oh gosh I love this Sun Ra disneeee song!

this was my first exposure to the arkestra

Bels Lugosi's dead

Love this.

Ballad of Dwight Frye

this part of dumbo is F R E A K Y so i'm not surprised they picked it

very freaky...saw it in theater when I was maybe NINE?

When Tim Burton redid Dumbo, do he keep this? It's so him/Danny Elfman

Thx Commie, I have to say goodnight. Exquisite show!

i love LoFi!

Elephants of the People. Sun Ra for Prime Minister! Marx, Lenin, Sun Ra! The CommunArkestra!

i usually go there with boxes of books and then return home with a smaller number of different books

communarkestra...ha!

resolution of the communarkestra

it was great, just my kind of record store. the kind where you have to dig but digging is rewarded

i got an aluminum home recorded disc there, a Japanese kids 10" 78 from the sixties, and metal 45 adapters!

Gram Parsons!

Greetings Jimbeaux. I believe the first time we've been on chat at same time. There was a time that I was also Jimbeaux. It fits you well. Kinda Regal.

fuzzzzzzzzzz

jimbo convention

I didn't mean to have my last name as chat name. Don't know how to change. Which is best: Jimbozo, or; Jimbozone ??

up at the top of the chat is a little gear where you can change your name

Speed Twins? 1979? Wow? Wow.

hey jimbo!

gymbow

Here's a song I haven't heard in eons! Thanks Commie! (Oscars Eye)

Commie Francis! Queen of the Air-Waves! Now Prime Mini-Steer of the People's Chat Settings. A Big Fan - great to hear some extra during the week!

jimbo the letter

Jimbo like Jimmy Neutron's dad, Hugh, says it!

it's nice to be on extra! it's sort of freeing when it's not my show and i don't have a theme at all!

A Song of the People!

Love F-systems!

i love the public access tv video they filmed for that song!

jenny where RU?

I love this new Crime of Passing lp

it's great! i think feel it put out like 1 record i didn't care for in the last 3 years? and this isn't it obvs

Definitely a great label. I also love the Serfs, who I think share members with Crime of Pasing

they do!

Taking a Poll: Would Robots run Democracy or Communism Better?

Great show Commie. You are always so much Fun!

Funny there Jim, was watching that hilarious spongebob episode of robots, where Spongebob and Squidward think Mr. Krabs is one!

Hi ye Commie!

Robots would run a KAIZEN society

yay andy moore!

i was like OK TAKE YOUR TIME ANDY!

he also asked me if there was an upper limit for length (there is not)

hi Bo and Ossy!

Where the he'll did you dig this up?!?

i found out about verdun from the gunilla mixtapes i believe, and then looked into them further and found this song

Time limit to 'The X'treme

it's not a very expensive record if you don't mind paying postage from europe

this is amazing

Totally KO'd by this!😲

wow i'm glad i overdid it on the prep cause i just realized i was planning for a 2 hour show not 3 hours

if anyone has requests tonight's the night!

i can make it but it's going to be close!

Ooh!

i will request a short one...any minutemen or rudimentary peni

or anything short!

I love Elli & Janco and both Stinky Toys lps are really good. i think they just have two lps?

i think that's right. i've heard them but never had their records

The Avengers - We are the One

there are TOO MANY RECORDS, people need to stop making good ones so we can catch up

gotta check the lyrics on that one, they are notorious potty mouths. but i will play it if i can

this is fire

yes i love me some french anarchopunk!

franarchrypunk

franarchypunk, excuse me

frunk

i am also jimbo and i also approve of this request

good gracious TREES is great

ohhh yeah.

First heard the Avengers on the NJ Turnpike as one of my findings of WPRB! Commie you Rock the People & The Robots. (Of course they are the One & the Zero!)

both their studio albums are tops. i haven't heard the live one.

aw that's nice!

It was in the 80's and could barely get PRB on the radio in Valley Forge PA!

So many Jims. We need AndrewLA, AndrewG, Andy, and myself here too
