Everything is normal on my iPhone

Adjust the computer!

I'm good! I could go for some air conditioned beach house about now, my car doesn't even have working ac lol, can get rough but we lower the windows and crank 103.3

Normal font for me too, how are you? A hot one over there mr.m?

that sounds like a good, more temperate option. btw tomorrow it is supposed be more like 75.

I don't know if Charlie ever got to hear this.

aw, david,maybe not

yeah it was me and my settings, haha, Mr. m

Check Control Panel and Display? DJ Esoterica?

Oh good!

i got it!:)

thx for your help

hey is this song overplayed?? i feel like i have heard it a bit

A true shame David, funel tune, idk why but reminds me of like fun dead milkmen lyrics

Fun tune*

I never heard it before!

oh cool!

Oh hey y’all!

Is playing two songs by that father/daughter duo some sort of premature Father's Day celebration?

We’re finally cooler here for a few days. 79° - 81° give or take.

I recognized the LALO SCHIFRIN! 😎

not intentionally, david, but fun

nice you have cooler weather

Yes, otherwise my air conditioner is on until 5am L0LZ

Oh no this song.

Haha. I just admitted to lies.

ooooohhhh

you're really mr. happy-go-lucky?

What are you drinking DJ Esoterica?!? 🍹

Haha

it's not very good, corona hard seltzer with madarin-starfruit

mandarin. i don't taste any fruit, more like chemicsals, haha

Give it away and find something better?

yes yes, beer or wine will do

i have a feeling this playlist may showcase sneak peaks of songs to come lol

I've been on a cheap beer kick myself. Could go for something margarita-y

first time at the beach this summer, which is great:)

Hello esoterica!

Hey ESO! Hi Addie!!

love margaritas with real lime, etc.

@ Esoterica (host) Groovy-fab-gear! That 1965 track "Lies" by the Knickerbockers sounds more like a John Lennon-led Beatles number than, well, than a John Lennon-led Beatles number!

howdy pethie!!

hi richard!

Hi, AddiePlum!

hi bo!

Oh hey, Mr M! And Pethie!!

@ Esoterica (host) Super playlist this afternoon ... as always!

hi addie!!! i didn;t see you sneak in:)

Hey Esoterica! Happy Friday!

Hello to all the bloomers post bloomsday!

happy friday!!

WBAI preempted yesterday's Bloomsday programming because of the Insurrection hearings. Instead it was broadcast at midnight (by which time Bloomsday was over).

Hi, DJ Pethie! Fun shows yesterday! Very impressed with two shows back to back! 6 hours!!

Hi, Ambrose Hughes!

Liking these selections very much😊

pethie, i drove to phillly and thoroughly enjoyed sparks and much more from you:)

@David, ugh!

Ridiculous! @David Shortell!

Very enjoyable selections!!

thx, mr. m:)

@ Esoterica (host) Hey, thanks soooo much for the info you're providing in the playlist re: who the songwriters were. Interesting and important stuff.

aw thx, richard. i am surprised by stuff i dig up.

If we refresh after songs begin we won’t get the spoilers! Cheers!

awwww good point

Who duhh fugg is Hugg?!?

lolz

brand new artist, I guess.

L0LZ

@ Esoterica (host) Ahhhh ... "Sweet City Woman" by the Stampeders remains one of my all time guilty pleasure Summer Top-40 ear candies ... And how can you resist a lyric like "The banjo and me, we got a feel for singing" ???

awww thx. yes i hear ya

@Richard, I'm kind of leaning that way meself, so catchy feely!

yes yes, that banjo is addictive

THIS😊

what an album, eh?

Love this album. Hey Esoterica! 3rd time this week!

LIZ PHAIR 💟

YEP! Haven't heard it in yonks!

yo, dsm! yes I am down in ventnor texting and enjoying the tunes

agree, mr. m

so good. was just reading about how Liz Phair was signed by Matador, apparently approached them and was like "do you want to become a millionaire?" so cool

Thicesoterica

preview of the next song lol

Nice! That's the way to do it. You get in the water? I was at the shore a week ago, and it was pretty cold still swim-wise

wow, russell, so cool. never heard that story

not in the water, no, but today would have been the day to do it, 93 degrees

Botched that, Thricesoterica I meant😤

haha all good, i botch everything, bo:)

i bet i can't find a Jam fan here (lol)

I HAVE heard this though!😊😊😊

THE HIT

when i was a young mod... lol

OHHHH YEEEEAH, damned good they were!

and unmistakable

those weller vocals, the tight musicianship, the songwriting, shall go on? haha

great to hear The Jam too

thx, dsm, i agree!

Strangely, the only Jam Album I never owned!🙈

interesting

The Modfather for me is still one of the best lyricists ever in pop music.

don't refresh

Did you ever have that comp, Mods Mayday '79 Esoterica? Loved that thang

haha sneakpeak alert

no, dsm, now i am on a search

I read that a violent altercation ensued between Paul Weller and Sid Vicious when the Jam called out the Sex Pistols for “Holidays in the Sun”’s plagiarism of their song.

wow, david.

never heard that

@DSM, I borrowed the record from my fellow mod mate and copied it to cassette, incredible Album, one of my faves!

WIRE

agree, russell

all caps

Double shot! yay!!!

oh yeah

https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-jam-paul-weller-fight-sex-pistols-sid-vicious/

There's a new Wire Album out, all outtakes of early stuff!

Ambrose, Nice! Yeah I remember trading my Desmond Dekker best of tape for it from a friend. Fair trade.

oh i need to dig that up, bo!

tho' is sounds like not much digging will be in order lol

happy friday and juneteenth/father's day weekend, es!

aw thx dsm

And I thought for a sec I was listening for WDAS on stream, LOL

Mary J. Has the gift!

MARY J BLIGE 💟💟💟

Hey Ambrose!

She's a "gorgeous morning"

I vaguely remember that Wire's show at the Green Parrot in Neptune was awful. They didn't play any of the good ol' stuff.

@David, what a disappointment.

Wow, this could have been produced by Prince according to my ears. Cool!

Hi folks!

agree, roffle, hi!

frank ocean, one of my fave vocalists

Frank Ocean 🌊

Hola Rofflestomp!

dana k, abbie from amrs and i were at union transfer maybe in 2018 for wire and they were great

*mars

@Esoterica, yep, shoulda woulda coulda.

i have alot of shouda woulda couldas, bo (prince live, for instance)

Really like Moses Sumney:)

me, too, richard, what a voice

OOOHH! This cat is Bad ass!

@Esoterica... Crap!😩

I didn’t know until listening to Pethie’s show yesterday that Abbie From Mars is a musician. I only knew that she is a WFMU dj (Saturday night/Sunday morning at midnight).

https://wfmu.org/playlists/A1

i don't why i didn't see prince live, oh well

I have friends who went to an outdoor venue, turned around and went home due to rain instead parking at Woodstock. Woulda, could, shoulda indeed!

haha don't refresh, next song sneak peak

Yes David :) and kittens will bite!

Es going in on these gems!

CHILDISH GAMBINO 💙

my son has gotten me into atlanta, what a show

TROY BARNES 🧡

he says season three is insane

oh yeah

@David, same! Saw a WFMU 'T' Shirt in the local Thrifty today... Didn't buy.

MrM lolololol

No spoilers. Haven’t started that series yet. Merp

L0LZ DSM

Gambino was Adult Simba in Lion King live action 2019!

ok, mr. m, i know how you are about spoilers

Haha

love that, Os! i need to see it

Hey everyone - had to check my feed ---- thought I had loaded Funky Friday from that UPenn station 😉

Evening

@ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ: I saw the 60th anniversary screening of “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” in Toms River this week!

amazing, david

Light in the attic is a favorite label. Really like the Kris Kristofferson release too.

Free viewing: https://tubitv.com/movies/505824/betty-davis-they-say-i-m-different

Tubi is the best

We loved that LP Exile album.

oh yes, richard and i love kris kristofferson

👽

thx david, need to see that

David Shortell, you shut yer face! Great posts!!

@Ossy Hyouka: I’ve actually never seen “The Lion King”. Someday I must buy the much-belated English translation of Osamu Tezuka’s manga “Janguru Taitei” (aka “Kimba”).

i have seen kimba the white lion, david

It's not always easy to tell if certain sounds right now are coming from WPRB, or from the tow truck on the street that's towing somebody's car

lovin' this

@Rob, I vote WPRB sounds!

lol Rob. Once I thought my refrigerator was about to blow up but alas it was just WPRB

@DSM, I second that!

Kimba the white lion, which people keep believing Lion King "ripped" off from it, when it was coincidence, I think.

or maybe just inspired? ossy

dsm, isn't it cool, love marie davidson

More so, yeah, Es. It's just people being people spreading rumors or taking things out of context. It's like saying Balto copied off Lady and The Tramp, because the male dog is a gray stray and their love interest is a house dog, who later had kids with one of them looking like their father LMAO.

@Eso: Is it the 1960’s TV anime that you saw? I vaguely remember the English-dubbed version as a kid.

agree, os!

This is groooovie

yes, david... we had an old vid of it

Parlophone (France) 1969 💗💝💖

agree, randy, this is pretty special.

haha bo.

@Ambrose, WPRB wins. The truck has towed off, er, gone

Haha BO

quit while you're ahead, mr. m;)

lolz

Runners know about shitting down

what kinda din din Esoterica?

Boop

@DSM, when our previous fridge was dying, it really was hard sometimes to tell whether the moaning/industrial noises were from the machine, or some of our records (think ENB)

Also, was “The Iron Giant” inspired by Mitsuteru Yokoyama’s “Tetsujin Nijūhachi-gō” (aka “Gigantor")?

haha i have seen runners before races running for the porta potties

Thanks for the show, Esoterica. Enjoy your dinner!

some place called smitty's clam shack, first time i am going. sounds perf
