"I don’t feel good don’t bother me.

I won’t write my poem till I’m in my right mind.

America when will you be angelic?

When will you take off your clothes?

When will you look at yourself through the grave?" - Allen Ginsberg (Excerpt from America, Berkeley, January 17, 1956)

did i mention that my filmscape show is Wednesday 3-5 pm

I'm Still Here faux documentary

wow cool, uno

Oh a surprise Bloom! These end of season schedule switch ups are providing some treats!

Bittersweet is somewhat comically dated since its 1997 and the band is still going strong, but its a stunningly cool snapshot of the band before trey got into heroin a couple years later.

hey dsm!

oh, a really fun music-related underrated film on netflix is The Rise of Future Folk.

Good mornin' Esoterica, happy Friday!

This playlist has me back in high school, Eso!

haha roffle!

you and me both, bud! this came out at the end of my freshman year

college for me, bud

I seem to recall that we're about the same age, although the realization always shocks me. You've got a very "young-sounding" voice!

Trying the remember the Philly station that existed for a few years in the 80s that played pretty good new wave...

guud stuffs 🎵🎶

Yes, Bud, Lee Paris was part of that.

nice sioux-prize sub!

Bud Burroughs - WXPN was god like back then. They totally suck now, but justsayin'.

hey colin!

aw thx, colin

Might have been WIFI 92 for a short while.

Yeah, nothing like classic 'xpn. But this was a commercial station, and I forgot about Lee's involvement.

Yeah, I think that's it Dave!

i-92 - rock of the 80s.

Gibby does Donovan!

bud, Y100?

oh yeah bri haha

Broken reverb.

Hell yes caught Siouxsie and Killing Joke on my way into work

"And the sign says, freaky people not apply"

BUTTHOLE

feels like it's been a while since I've heard classic surfers on wprb.

SURFERS‼️‼️‼️

Strange how that posted. 🤭

Are there any other songs called "Halloween" besides those by Siouxsie, Misfits, Dead Kennedys and Dream Syndicate?

DJ Dana K! 📢📢📢 pewPewPEW!

Saw these guys in Austin. Madness ensued.

@ David, Japan had one.

DINOSAUR JR ❤️‍🔥

oh man add Dino Jr to film list, there was just a documentary about them

oh cool, unoclay! alos new pistols? netflix? IDK if it's good

also

wow roffle, do tell

hey david. hmm, interesting questions re: halloween

howdy dana k!!!

i just noticed dana was here

but prob at work now:)

...Syd and Nancy, though after being older, im not sure i like glorifying him in any way anymore given he literally injured regular innocent people.

totally, agree

@unoclay

I did AirHorns to announce DJ Dana K’s arrival! 📢📢📢📢📢📢 pewPewPEW

and on that topic, Leaving Neverland, har dee har OUCH

love dana k

SUPERCHUNK❗️

omg, unoclay, that was such a sad doc. but totally believable.

leaving neverland

I'll probably avoid seeing the Hulu-FX docudrama "Pistol" (adapted from Steve Jones' memoir) just as I've avoided seeing Alex Cox' "Sid and Nancy" for 36 years.

Bud was it WDRE ?

yeah he definitely did it. Its weird how he sort of isnt more "canceled". Saw a bunch of folks super pumped for his videogame (Moonwalker) last night at barcade. Its like....he got a pass because we like to dance

Jersey but Philly area. Alt rock 90s

@Esoterica - I lived with my girlfriend that went to UT and Sixth Street was perfect for insanity! I hung out for the night with a drummer who got me in around because he was a local writers favorite. Corrcorin? I forget. That guy. Fun as a kid though.

yeah syd and nancy makes you realize oh crap he was a total psycho a$$hole

wow, roffle. cool memories

i saw the alex cox film in the fairfax district in 1986 (Hollywood)

Jesus Christ

Numero Group coupon code today : bandcampfridayjune

what?

awesome, bri. thx for the reminder

forgot

RE: bandcamp friday

That code may have diff percentages depending on whether used through Bandcamp or Numero site...

There is a buy 4 get 25% on their own site.. Only certain selections i think

any of you cats remember the Y100 Sonic Sessions?

Good heads up Brian

I swear someone gotta pay off these credit cards!

I suspect there was little truth in the Cox film (Lydon disapproved of it just as he does this new series) but I like “The Simpsons”’ 2008 spoof with Nelson as Vicious and Bart as Lydon.

https://simpsons.fandom.com/wiki/Love,_Springfieldian_Style

The pre fame White Zombie box set Numero put out is really fantastic, they used to play gigs with Swans and Sonic Youth back in ole NYC scene. I think they were trying to be The Birthday Party basically

I rarely go to the overpriced House of Independents, but I did see Giuda there in 2019.

oh cool, how were they, david??

Gotta go , but nice to see ya here Eso! Happy Friday all!

thx roffle!

you too!

wow, dsm, i need to check that out.

This song is really cool.

11:11

hey guelo, mystical you

and agree, re: speakerheart

٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ I want a speaker heart

cute little face there

WIPERS❗️ Fun Playlist!

thx mr. m! love greg sage

and wipers

and JUDY GARLAND!

I’m losing my mind

where is my mind?!

oh go on, mr. m lol

Me is BoNkErS. FIN.

haha

first time hearing this one, love it!

yeah dsm, i just found this version myself, ala liza's album results.

something about this song cracks me up

I’m thinking of Andrea Martin’s insulting caricature Lorna Minelli on SCTV. I guess Liza didn’t mind though. She later worked with Andrea in “Stepping Out”.

raise your aim!

me too, uno

stupid, stupid

Guida was good. I returned to the House recently to see the Spits and Night Birds, though I had to swap Super Bowl Sunday with a coworker to get Saturday night off.

oh yeah Lorna Luft! forgot about the parody, david

Lorna Minelli melded the names of Judy Garland’s daughters, just as Catherine O’Hara’s character Lola Heatherton melded Lola Falana and Joey Heatherton.

love it, david

two names from my 70s past: Lola Falana and Joey Heatherton.

joey h's hair was perfect

If "I'm Just Wild About Harry" was written in 1921, how did the singing frog in Chuck Jones’ “One Froggy Evening” know it? He was stuck inside that box since 1892! The same applies to “Hello! Ma Baby” and other songs; though "Michigan Rag" was written especially for the short.

Before I checked the playlist, I thought that Nazz song was by Redd Kross.

i can see the similarity, david.

Solid show DJ Esoterica, thanks much! This Ian Hunter is hitting the Friday spot. Have a great weekend!

@ Esoterica (host) I've been lurking in FM broadcastland, doing my chores-er-cize (serious vacuuming, cleaning, recycling takeouts, etc. with deep knee bends and upper body curls & extensions. Hey, congrats on the new 2nd show! Remind me ... does it start this coming Wednesday after Jon Solomon?

Final Nine Mins?!

Before JonSolomon!

DJ Esoterica, that was cute as hell!

Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head 🎶

experts agree, mornings such as what wprb has delivered increases this workers productivity and mood exponentially.

yes true colin:)

DJ Esoterica, many thanks for the great show and including the tribute to DEPECHE MODE/ANDY FLETCHER! Big cheers and kind regards to you!

lol mr. m

hey richard! thx for lurking!

Filmscape will be before jon solomon wednesday 3-5 p.m.

DJ Esoterica, everything is okay right? You’re not having a problem with speech or pain anywhere, correct?? I’m being very serious.

Call 9 1 1 immediately, if you are!

no i am good

Okay. Making me nervous. L0LZ

Speaking of Pink Floyd, Anderson Council (another group named after Pink Anderson and Floyd Council) are playing Thursday at Red Tank Brewing and two Saturdays from now at Pino's Gift Basket Shoppe and Wine Cellar.

lol good, mr. m??

See y'all later

Great!

Cheers, DJ Esoterica!! 🖤💀

cheers

bye all thx for stopping by
