Night!

Did Cynthia ever cast any of the Bay City Rollers?

Hisssssssss

she did not!!

Pooh Sticks!!!

And good evening everyone

Hi Rob!

Hi Rob! and Richard and David

Hellloooo

Hi richard and Commie

Yay and Yay and Yay!!!!!

Dang! Billy Childish. Nice!!!

And hi David!

This Billy Childish song is quite nice

Heya Commie!

Sooo Goood

When is Oxfordshire having its next Poohsticks World Championship? They should televise those things.

i have played pooh sticks many a time but i didn't know about league play

YAY Kitty...Oh Mr. Record Man. Willie Nelson

Joshua Hedley Mr. Jukebox

Hi Addie

oh hi Addie!!

I love this song

Hi Addie and David :)

Wonderful! I forgot about this. Already looking forward to you uploading this show!!

"Where's Bill Grundy Now?" He died in 1993. Glen Matlock wrote an amusing account of his last sighting of Bill, after their TV fiasco.

speaking of which i am LOVING the terrible sex pistols hulu show thing.

I haven't heard of that Commie

however my pedantic side compels me to say that in 1978 bill grundy was alive but his show was cancelled after the sex pistols incident

The sight gag of the century

Ahhh Yeah

I must tune out now. I'll catch the Wednesday night repeat on WXOJ.

gn David

thanks for tuning in for a bit David!

btw middle of the night uneasy listening rebroadcasts are back for the summer, 3am on thursday night/friday morning

Nice to know Commie

C o m m m m m m m i i i i i i i i i i i e e e e e e e e e

hello!

Teen(age) Gang Debs, a blast from the past for sure!

Love this and a lot of Saul Williams.

Hello jimbeaux! And goodnight David!

Hi jimbeaux

yeah i think it is actually teenage gang debs on the record but oh welllllllll

i'm assuming it's erin and don smith on that

Name droppinnnnnnnnnn'. Yo Richard Rob David!

It's hilarious that Tune in or the robots think it's Bow wow wow :D

oh um spoiler alert i am playing bow wow wow in a few minutes and accidentally dropped it in the live playlist by accident

Yes. Nicely done Commie! A bit like the name dropping of Slim Gaillard Jumpin' At The Record Shop

ACCIDENTALLY

haha. Got it. I like human error

it's actually a weird glitch in the playlist software but it's boring to explain

so it is robots. Hi jimbeaux!

It is indeed Erin and Don Smith. They also put out a zine (4 issues), and to the best of my recollection each dj-ed on WMUC-FM in College Park MD

oops, 5 issues

yeah i have a photocopy of the interview they did with guy and brendan from fugazi, it was hilarious

other than that i just know about it by reputation

I think I had or read issues 4 and (maybe) 5. I doubt I have them any more

And Erin was in both Bratmobile and Cold Cold Hearts

primitive Minds...

Guud Stuffs 🎶🎵

Thanks, DJ CommieFrancis! Swell selections!

thanks MrM!

I hope DJ Dana K is doing well after the broken coffee pot injuries! ❤️‍🩹

as far as i know she is recovering!

Good deal! Thanks!

I hope she is!

hopefully she has woken up from her nap by now

DJ CommieFrancis, you had fun suggestions this morning too! And DJ Pethie had a real nifty request tonight! Nice community!

yeah i wish i'd started listening earlier! i love when dana does the popsike thing. she heroically took on that time slot at the last minute so i knew she needed help!

Good evening everyone, hope all is well!

Hahaha tell us everything about Kenny G, please

i said all i know

hi tandy andy!

Oh. Ha!

Hello TAndy, having a nice time on the WestSiiidddeee?!?

It's alright, only two days till homebound :(

We enjoyed the show, Commie! Goodnight everyone 😴

“alright”?! What’s that about??

Cheers, RobFromMaryland & petnoodle!

DJ CommieFrancis, another great playlist to a fun theme! Well done!

thanks!

Whoa...Bobby!

the youtube of this is WILD, an amazing performance

you'll hear in a sec he is totally out of breath at the end

There were six people in the audience.

...which is amazing.

Jon Solomon...touching greatness!

A very different casting couch story. :)

Yeooo Roffle!

i actually had a long conversation with my sister a little bit ago about how worm poop is called castings and what if we called all poop castings

Hiya jimb.

That would cause us shadow casters a pause for sure.

Strato-casters 🎸💩

Evening hot Saturday Commie and all!

Heyo Ossy!

This game show tune buzz around in my head in a funny way last week. Great soundtrack for a walk to the corner.

cynthia said this was her favorite song! spanish flea! i always think about homer simpson giving it lyrics

Sweeeet tribute. Thank u Commmmiiiieeeee⚡⚡⚡

Hello uneasy transistor listeners! am I late?
