It's summer! Hat on backwards etc etc

i don't have a hat! i just have all my windows open and my neighbors are partying so summer party atmosphere

In a big country, dreams stay with you

This theme is going to be awesome. I love gigantic vast things

@ Tandy: Me too except for large ones headed for Earth...

Good evening everyone

I just thought of Shelley Duvall singing “He's Large” in Robert Altman’s “Popeye”.

Hi all!!

hi Richard, Rob, David, Alan, Andy!

That was Woody Guthrie? I thought it was Hank Hill!

Big Shew. Really big Shew!

BIG MURPH

I never think of things ahead of time maybe the band Big Dipper or the songs Big John or Big Iron.

big iron i played on songs about iron. i think i have richard berry's big john in the playlist but i don't even know

i didn't look too hard and had 12 hours of music!

the clean!! I got to see them in Portland OR

For sure.

“Big Sky” (The KInks) and “The Big Sky” (Kate Bush) are both good.

i played them both on songs about the sky but i'm playing a really long remix of the kate bush one on transistor sister probably

Take it easy but take it

Saints lover!!!

This Betty Davis song is reminding us of Captain Beefheart

i'm sure she listened to him!

OMGOSH, who doesn't add a few liner notes?

Your pic, not mine. :)

ahhhhhh

i thought you were dissing me for not using the playlist notes field much

NICE Commie!!

Never!

I so love the field notes too! Man, you folks are the best when you drop side notes. No problem though, I came here to hear you share this awesome stuff!

i have great admiration for folks like lizbot and dave the obscure who drop an artist bio in the notes hahah

Yea, ǝʌɐꓷ blows me away, and I genuinely love Lizbot!

I love you too silly girl!

RIP Chris Bailey :)

KFJC is still going btw! only 19 years younger than wprb!

WTH :( I am so sorry Chris Bailey is gone.

Only 19 years? Kids these days...

people are lighting off fireworks, my dog is under my desk scared and the cats are trying to console him

Dogs have the correct reaction about explosion stuff.

We had a German Shepherd that bit my brother in the ass for setting off fireworks, dropping matches, grabbed the match box and shook it all over the lawn..

sorry about your brother but smart doggie

Railroad Jerk! YES!

...Ya gotta figure that their hearing is, what 20 times better than humans?

Still rockin' a Saturday night Commie! Cool!

@Alan - And a nose to make a human crazy!

The Big Payback in background cool

background?

Oh geez, I need to refresh my stuff before I start listing to Sangeet!

SPARKS!!!!!

Deep Cut :)

Love it

"hear the robins choking in the grass"?! Did I hear that right?

yes! it;s an environmental song

Sense of humor, they have

Calvin Johnson could have signed Razorcuts

creation records did, pretty close

and sarah records who did some co-releases with k

Such a great show

It always is

dang!! k

Ukulele sounding way good!

That is quite the name for that German band

yeah i was like ???

i hope i don't get wprbot banned from twitter

Grew up in a woppy\ Jew\ Pollock neighborhood. The bot will be just fine.

PS I loved my neighbors! I love those folks.

yeah i get your point! still not saying it on the radio though. as far as i can tell this band was just trying to be shocking

Indeed. Look at the name of their album

Evening Commie and all!

yup.

hi Ossy!

Yup, thingy with a Romeo Void twist.

I knew there had to be a Big Bang in there somewhere....

MOOOOOOOM

Sounded a bit like DMX or Ja Rule

Oh I've always wondered where that line was sampled from

dead prez were always playing benefits for food not bombs when i was living in nyc!

good folks

hey Tandy, that roots picnic last weekend, loads of people said it was terrible, due to inconsistent scheduling, too long intermissions and the artists put on performance late.

Agh. Kind of glad I missed it but still upset that I missed Kenny G in Camden

I saw some on live stream, so laughable that one singer felt like he had to force an excitement from the crowd, not that his heart was seemingly in it. I heard Wizkid showed up late, when people left and Mary J Blige performed like 3 hours later after Jazmine Sullivan. Sorry, I know how that feels missing something/someone important.

Good thing we didn't waste our cash there, LOL

tandy were you around when i played kenny g's power pop band last week?

sooo good

Unfortunately I was not around for that, I actually missed out on a lot of programming for the past two weeks since I was on vacation.

The doors of hell, before I get there, or after I walk past?

it's just one of the enormous doors in hell

YAY

I hope some guy is checking my ticket before letting me in...

If ya get six ticket stamps you get a free head on a pike!!

they're interior doors. i think you have to give your ticket on the boat

Coins! Always coins! Gotta talk to my agent!

Ha! Commie is melting radio towers!

i'm basically playing like, 3 songs tonight

FVCK WAR

the lyrics of this remind me of last poets

Well, a pack of matches has is not unlike a couple of sticks sorta.

Grandmaster Flash, a classix philly fave, especially on those Fridays!

Represent both coasts

GMF!!! YAY!!

Yes. OSSY!

I ended up coming around on Pistol. Like, a lot of it made me cringe, but I was also totally enraptured in it and watched it all in like three days. I agree all the acting is great.

arggh tech difficulties please hold

No worries this song rocks

my joke got ruined :(

Los Punk Rockers!

Thanks for the cool run Commie!

scooter someone mentioned that the dude who plays steve jones looks like the singer of a-ha and i cannot get it out of my head

oh man, he definitely does.

Hey Commie...superb gargantuan large and in charge showwwwwwww!

here's that link to the flipper cover btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHKc3y-4j0k

Awww....sorry about your friend :(

That is for the show. Also I think Captain Ahab is next?? She said special show tonight at 11 on her social media

oh! i guess she's subbing for CJ

MADONNA 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

where's ossy at

and thanks jimbo!

Still here Commie!

i figured you might appreciate the dance party outro

Madonna!!

Like let the music play from other singer, Shannon!

Yessssssss Madonna

thanks for listening everyone!

RIP Steve. I didn't really know him ouside of chatting with him when Sleeper Cell opened for Inepsy twice, but he was definitely a lot of fun. The time I saw Inepsy play at the Gates of Hell in Montreal is one of the top ten best live sets I've ever seen
