And away we go!

thats me im the sasquatch there. >:)

A drummer for Monster Magnet manages a music store in Red Bank ! NJ 🦾

Greetings Captain. LOL at "when the lights come on..."

hello all! yeah I found that photo of all of us and thought I should put it up

TAndySquatch 🦧

Afternoon.

Unfortunately not cruising at all rn but WILL be going into the dessert later to stargaze for a bit

Vultoro album released this week - it's real good.

Hello all

Vultoro !!

oh sweet Jason I just saw, will add it to the rotation for next week

Swampass season hath begun

IT'S SWAMPASS TIME BIIITTTCCCHHHEEESSSS

lol @ "swampass" ....crude but accurate.

lol

Crude But Accurate is my middle name

feels like mayday was just a few days ago

THE GIZZ >:)

Lol

The GZA

this was too good not to play

Love heavy King Lizard Gizzards

Love rock bands who play with not equal-tempered frets

O Captain! My Captain! Please avoid Ford Theater and spin them there tunes! :)

Bout time we had some fret tempering

@Mountain same, their newest album is leaning into their heavy side

hey Dan! hey Roffle!

oh darn I had tickets to the rock opera during anatolian hour

what do

This is wonderfully evil

Prerecording? Whoops, long shadows already... Nvrmnd

No no we're LIVE

Yea, ship left already...

Live like a geek show 🐔

Professor Ahab can you fit in some Geezer?

With cowbell if possible

NJ needs some cowbell in this heat blast

I thought everything had cowbell, but it appears that was just the brain filling in the blanks.

Lol! Roff

Everything should have cowbell, by decree

mooooo

Mountain I think that can be arranged, I'm pre-screening a cowbelly track now to make sure there are no naughty words

awwww heck yes

🐮eet mor chikin 🐮

thank you Capt A,

this is the only time of the week I NEED a more powerful sound system

Town criers used cowbells in my version of the dark ages. :)

Boost it Warham, use a Pringles can if you have to

ok cowbells coming up after this track (which is 8min long lol sorry)

A Pringles can makes a great wifi antenna in the right hands.

Ha! Pringles srsly! and the people wanted doritos, dude.

Don't feed Doritos to the bears - Dead Kennedys

Never apologize for an 8 minute track Ahab! That's short in some circles 🤣

I know I know but the anticipation for cowbells is mounting

Lol

Geez... already got "More cowbell" going through my head....

If it's not salsa music...that's a lot of cowbell.

Cure the fevers with cowbell

Cow bells are tough, immune to anthrax unlike cows.

Lol

The Anthrax drummer has a cowbell tho

Apropos!

aawww yeeaaah bring the cows to the yard

Another themed show possibility....bovine related tunes

Oh shit, I am seriously gonna check and see if I have a cow bell metronome setting. :)

Jason I was just thinking of doing a show where all tracks have cowbell

I think it's doable

sounds difficult.

Googoosh !!

Mixcraft has it! LMAO! I had no idea!

Even with the holiday, this time I remembered it was Tuesday!

Chewsday innit

chewsday

95 degrees painfully reminded me earlier.

yes, claps 👏

hey Jon!

Thought it was a Tuesday in August for Pete's sake!

I won't be in the chat much (about to cook now but I hope to be listening throughout).

Cooking with cow bell!

Lol

[smacks lips] mm.... Needs more cowbell

Doom lyrics

theramin?

Theremin

Therimen

3 different spellings! Excellent!

3 people, 3 different spellings ..haha.

theramin wins

Years ago I had a whole wheat pizza in Colorado served with a side of honey for dipping the crusts in and it was...pretty good!

Cowbell and whole wheat pizza...the way forward. ™️

Jon this was not just pretty good, it was absolutely delicious, maybe it's not like that everywhere but man this was somethign else

My next level pizza was getting a sourdough crust at a pizza place in Knoxville. That was a top 5 all time pizza

"Pretty good" is praise from me!

Apparently this Colorado place does pizza not by size but by weight?

https://www.beaujos.com

Yeah as soon as I wrote that comment I realized, "coming from Jon that's really high praise"

There's a pizza place in Elizabeth that will do red pepper flakes (firecracker) or sesame seeds in the crust. Ok! Back to cooking! I want pizza now!

lol colorado mountain pies sound nice

Good mods song, kinda like Nebula

HERE COMES THE ROOOOOOOSSSSTTTEERRRRR 🐔

cowbells, roosters, what's next

Loose the hounds!

Loosened hounds and desert sounds

James Bond theme in there?!

The #1 show on WPRB where the driving drums with a sprinkling of cow bell is guaranteed!

you betcha!

epic jam

WELCOME BACK FROM THE ZONE

good evening

the spice must flow

https://americanchipspice.co.uk

hey Rob! Just noticed you

Fake name: Chip Spice

Not suspicious at all

Discoverd All Them Witches by listening in 2012!

Nice!!!!

Thanks for keepin-up with it!!

My ex's father in law was an agricultural consultant and would bring the most insanely good curries back from around the world and the make pizza with them. So darn good!

Btw I didn't want to jinx things earlier but are you guys hearing any pops or skips? I adjusted some settings on my end and I hope it worked

Minor skips, but I tend to ignore them since I listen online.

Hmm ok

I was hearing some random loud pops which coincided with a one-second repeat of what you were saying. I thought it was at my end so I closed my media player and this browser. Everything is sound hunky dory right now except for the two 1-2 seconds of silence I just heard

*is sounding

BTW I love the band name Snakes Don't Belong In Alaska

Thanks for the feedback about the sound Rob, sounds like an improvement from previous weeks

Suret thing! I think it is an improvement

Turkish Butthole Surfers !!

@Captain, after listening to your show fairly regularly, including the Anatolian Hour, and hear you talk about bands in the latter, I'm curious if any bands or styles grew out of the Gezi Park protests in 2013?

This guy has a power turtleneck

I wanna party with this guy

Rob great question, the answer is yes! Lots of new interest in this music too, I can't name any off the top of my head but there are modern bands who came about after Gezi with teh same vibe

I'm not sure if a sound particular to Gezi Park emerged if that's what you meant, something worth investigating though

That guy has lapels that could save one from frostbite on Mount Ararat. Too cool. :)

I have a Subhumans/MDC poster about the Arab Spring that is a prized possession

I wanna tear up Ankara with this guy, just lay waste to discos and kebabs, fueled by hash and medjool dates

Apparently I have it all planned out

lol, I wanna see this itinerary

We'll wind down after rockin out w/ some bonkers Turksploitation cinema

Love the Goblin-esque liquid bass sound

This is the 18 minute rock opera by the way

Wprb: for all your Turkish rock opera needs

the one and only

Turkish rock flute for the win

@Captain, thanks for your answer, you have satisfied my curiosity. It was kind of an open-ended question. None of the people on Twitter from I was getting info about the protests at the time, were musically oriented. I only just thought about it during your show, since the 9th anniversary of the protests was the other day, and it is Anatolian Hour right now.

It was a great Q, I should have discussed Gezi more last week

I'll get closer to the modern day eventually

Some serious R rolling

Captain while I'm stuck in a gridlock traffic I want to thank you for the show today. This might be one of my favorite Anatolian hours so far

Buncha punks I tellya

Watch out for Turkish crustpunks

Dope show!! 👏

Thank you for this show, Captain! I hope you are on at this time during the summer!

Thanks TAndy! Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks Rob! Fingers crossed

Thanks Mountain Lightning!
