Happy Anniversary, Readie!

Welcome to the 14th Anniversary of Recherché Part I!

Hi Rob! Thank you!

How goes it? Any tornado action?

Only been listening since 2011, guess I'm the new guy. :)

Happy anniversary! So happy your show exists Readie!

Greetings, Felicitations, and CONGRATULATIONS !! on 14 Years of Recherche! Hi Readie, Hi Rob!

And hey y’all! Happy Friday!

Hi RoffleS! Welcome to you! However long, it matters not! You are where you are meant to be!!!!

...and Hi Roffestomp, Addie !!! ssssss!

Hey Addie! Thanks so much!

So true Readie! Glad to be here!

Thank you @Alan! Hi there!

A happy hiss to you too, Alan!

Glad to see y'all! I am very happy to be here...it doesn't seem like 14 whole years - many iterations...but still crazy after all these....

Happy 14th Readie!!! You got a fun beverage to celebrate with?

HAHA @DSM! Cool water while I'm with you, then, maybe I will have a cocktail!

@ Readie: i got a haircut today to commemorate your 14 Anniversary (Just Kidding) :)

Noticed I have plenty of V-8, so a Bloody Mary might be in the cards tonight!

Well cheers from me and my beer! Whatcha tippling DSM?

Nice! I just cracked a cold one. 14th anniversary show and Friday woot woot!

@Alan! HAha, mine isn't until tomorrow, getting a massage scalp treatment to celebrate!

Oh my gosh! I thought only our parents had "cocktails".

Not really, it's a periodic luxury...

Addie, I got some Troeg's Haze Charmer (hazy dry hoped pale ale)

@ Readie: i'm sure you deserve it!

Nice, DSM!! I’ve got a can of “Becky Likes the Smell” double IPA

@Readie, no further tornados in the Philly area or the Maryland area.

haha, that's a great name for a beer!

LOL! Yeah, I'm being slightly formal this eve! I'm sure I could say let's slam down a couple of brewskis!

@Addie - I bought an IPA sampler box. Seems like a good time to open it up. :)

I agree with Becky, it smells great 😂

Yeah, @Rofflestomp! break it out!

Crack into it, Roffle!

Done and done!

@ Addie: Nice photo of you, I like it better than the last one...

Thanks, Alan! Showing off my new specs.

@Addie, nice!

Cool specs, Addie!

And a tiny bit of my NJ tattoo!

They are groovy addie! :)

I love the Blackstar album, really left on a high note

@Readie, I'm celebrating your show by having extra rum in my rum and apple cider drink

Thanks, Roffle!

Agree DSM. It’s a great one.

Hi Alan and everyone!

@Rob- fabulous! He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink

Yo Rob! Did you hoard apple cider in the fall?

But gets up again!

Hi Rob! The wren house is up and waiting in Doylestown...

@Roffle- YEAH!!!

In the "viller" love that

@Readie, tee hee!

Hi DSM. No hoarding, I just bought a half gallon at Evil Jeff's, err, Whole Foods the other day

@Roffle, yup

Evil Jeff's - hahaha!

This song spooks me out like few others. I love it!

Alan, that's great! I saw a House Wren on top of a nest box in a nature reserve the other day. It was resting and dgaf that I was 15 feet away

Omg that Readie song!

@Roffle, I bought Blackstar shortly after Bowie died. I found it too somber for my taste and only listened to it twice. Tbf, I haven't kept up with Bowie since Let's Dance was released

Shout out to my friend Jen who helped me produce that little ditty!

Way to go, friend Jen!

@ Rob: They have a nice song and eat Tons of Bugs...Wrens, that is!

Also tbf I was very very sad that Bowie had passed

@Rob - I was really knocked down when Bowie left us - had to get him in for the 14th!!

@Alan, I love wren songs

Bowie had magic. He just did in my opinion.

@Addie, yes Jen is very talented in audio / production - she stopped by the chat a couple of times...

@Readie, I was saying at the time that Bowie owned the land that my musical house was built on. So I was very upset to learn of his death.

I loved Bowie for so many years...and through all his iterations! What a force!

My mariachi dream lives on!

@ Readie: I remember your "Tribute to Bowie" show, I think on a Saturday....

@Rob- got ya.

@Alan- again- you've the best memory EVER!. I think you've been a listener since the beginning- Recherché and back to "The Week in Review"!

I once knew this track only as a WPRB ID...and of course...

@ Readie: I remember TWIR and my fave, The Grammer Hammer!!!

Oh wow, Alan, I almost forgot about the Grammar Hammer! When I got a job as a Tech Writer, I got a lot of it out of my system...but it never goes away!

@ Readie: Is started listening to WPRB when Julia Factorial and Maria T had their show, whatever year that was..

I discovered WPRB online while I lived on the west coast. Priceless!

@ Rofflestomp: What year? Which show?

I think I didn’t catch my first Recherche till 2015 maybe? When I was driving to school at Bucks.

@Alan - 2011ish I remember mainly Readie, lizbot, Marvin, Jon, and a few others. Some are gone. So it goes.

BAM

Oh snap! What’s up Chef? Hope you’ve got something good on the menu.

Hi Chef!! Food Time!! It's the Weekend..

Hey Chef, set up a WPRB cruse ship thingy. You can do it if anyone can. :)

After COVID that is...

....Time to make fires outside, and burn Food... :)

Hey Chef! Welcome to the Anniversary show!

I can set up a virtual zoom cruise ship party online if a DJ agrees to provide music broadcast it live on the air

Booze Cruise on the Delaware!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!! BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👨‍🍳👨‍🍳👨‍🍳♥️♥️♥️♥️📻📻📻📻📻📻

Booze Cruise LMAO Too funny!

Thanks so much, Chef!!

Woooo - yes Booze Cruise is a real thing...ben on several...

What's for dinner?

My kiddo Z would like to say hi to everyone! 👋

HI Z!!

Zoom party! lol Nobody wears pants? too funny!

She also says “happy 14 years!”

Welcome to the Partay Z !!

@roffle lol!

Dan Deacon AMPS ME UP

BAM to Z!

Thanks Z!!! Appreciate you!!

Hey Z!!!

Welcome to the chat, Z!!!

Z appreciates all your greetings!

Hi Zed!

I hope he understands Canadian. :)

Zed=Canadian for Z

(Or British, eh?!)

I had to explain hahah

Canadians wear earmuff's Eh! Did you say Z or C or B or D ???

Z is officially bilingual then! My job here is done citizens.

@ Readie: My personal peeve is with the words Millions or Billions, too easy to mistake. Carl Sagan said he made a point to stress the "B" in Billions, that word later become his trademark...

I just opened a Session Pale Ale. How apropos?

Sagan put the B in billions for sure.

Oh yes! One of faves!!

@Alan- I'm thrown back to Austin Powers...that Billions scene!

Was Sagan Canadian?

@Roffle- ENJOY!!

Sagan was outta this world for sure.

....but Sagan Never actually said "Billions and Billions". That was actually started when Johnny Carson interviewed Sagan, and Carson said "Your Cosmos show was fantastic... Billions and Billions!!"

Not sure what kinda passport he would hold.

Can’t get better than Byrne & Eno together.

Passport to the Universe..Just Look Up!!

@Addie- agreed!

freak out freak out freak out!

Don't worry 'bout your diet! lol

Japanese girl bands are wild insane.

I just checked the Princeton Clear Sky Chart, looks to be Clear Sunday at dawn... Very close conjunction of Jupiter and Mars, only 1/2 degree apart in the predawn sky..

@Alan - Just was thinking how you might not appreciate this cloudy weather of late.

De-Evolution...so true, custodians of the inhuman race...

@ Rofflestomp: No prob, it goes with the hobby...there's always...MUSIC!!

@Alan - #1 goto! :)

@ Roffelstomp: When a problem comes along...You can Whip it!!

@Alan - quite good indeed!

Let's buy a pet Elephant for Readie !!

Gosh, looks like retirement!

HAHA! Yes, indeedy!

Sorry, condo owners have no room for elephants of any size...lol!

I want me one a doze elephants!

Good evening Readie and everyone! I'm late to the party--happy 14th Readie and Recherche!

Hi Li Maria, thanks a lot! Welcome! Glad you could stop by!

Yeah, an elephant spewing gold! Yes please!

Hi Li !! any stargazing lately?

Heya Li Maria, the party was waiting for ya!

Hi Li!

You’re here just in time to dance!

Steven Hawking sings???

@Addie - Just made me think of lizards dancing. Ut oh, now it might be a thing. :)

@Alan, that was an old audio thing on the MAC I found, of course, had to stop using it when I moved around to different days...I was on Wednesday for a while

Hey Alan, Roffle, Addie! This is a great song to dance to--love this whole album:) @Alan, I saw some of the blood moon eclipse

@roffle my beardie seems sadly indifferent.

@ Li, I missed it because of Tall Buildings, But this Sunday predawn Jupiter/Mars event..

@Addie - Missing his hangout time with mom no doubt.

@Alan--I'll have to look into that. What sort of event?

Wow, I didn't know about this cover!

@ Li:...I just checked the Princeton Clear Sky Chart, looks to be Clear Sunday at dawn... Very close conjunction of Jupiter and Mars, only 1/2 degree apart in the predawn sky..

BTW I absolutely Love this Neil Young cover

A friend of mine in my band just loved to cover this.

@Alan, I'll have to remember to set up my telescope in advance

RRRRREEEEEAAAdieeeeee! Happy PRBversary.

@ Li: Even without a scope, two planetary objects soo close together....

My piano teacher is prepping a version of this song for me!

Coooooool!!@Li Maria

Potential for Herculid meteor showers late Mon/early Tues!

Or some cosmic comet debris...

"The sky is falling"

True, @Alan. I recently saw 3 planets really close together in the eastern sky (I think)
