Chat is archived.

Oh Hello!

Hello Pethie, love the Bill Nelson (but you already knew that). Could you play some Jul

Whoops, that was to be Julee Cruise please.

Hello Mother! I will play some Cruise after 8 or so, hope you can stay up that late!

I am eating the ground coffee right out of the can now. Efficiency !

You are so smart. That's why I allowed you to be my mother.

I was so moved by Mia Doi Todd's "Autumn" years ago that I did not keep up with her work, afraid of disappointment. Thank you for introducing me to "My Fisherman"!

Helloooo, the chat!

Hi Pethie! Hi folks! "And of course Sparks." lol Nailed it!

Yo Roffle! What’s up?

Hello, yes, I love Mia Doi Todd, since Fall 2021 of her Wahinah Valley, on random!

Hello Pierre, Addie, Roffle, and Ossy! Thank you for chatting and listening!

Hey Addie! Nice day, their is a "Dollar Stroll" on Baltimore tonight and the bike is almost charged up! :)

Woun't be strolling... :)

Oh I miss the dollar stroll!!

Just came back this year, like so much else.

Addie, did we do a dollar stroll in West Philly once?

They used to always have the best tofu spring rolls at Vientiane!

Pethie I think so!!

Yes, with Mars' mom?

Grace Jones 💚💛🖤. No wonder it felt afro festive and old school!

I love Grace deeply.

Addie, I really like Fu-Wah Mini Market's Tofu hoagies too.

And this cover of Diana Ross

I'm ashamed to admit I knew this version first, then fell in love with hers....

It was Mars’ MIL! Good memory.

Sometimes my brain works!

Roffle, we just got a banh mi restaurant here! I haven’t checked it out yet.

Sweet! New restaurant adventures are fun, for the most part. :)

Wow, this song! I have no excuses for this not being in high rotation on my personal playlist.

I think this might be one of Lizbot's favorite's by Wyatt. It's def. top ten Wyatt songs for me.

This one’s pretty high on my playlist!

It's so sweet and jaunty!

What should I make for dinner?

I want to hear this on the way to the beach...

I want to BE on the way to the beach.

Addie, I am glad there are dollar slices of pizza and tacos a few minutes away. Everything tasty that I have to cook is in the freezer. I can work with that though.

Dukes!

Roffle, you know it!

Making it tough to walk away from the tunes Pethie!

That's my job, Chief!

Oh my gosh, LOVING all these choices! So many favorites! Dagmar!!

🐛 at work!

I'm so glad, Liz Bot!!!

Hi Liz! And job well done then Pethie. :)

Thanks, Roffle!

Damn, Weyes Blood gets me every time.

For real, Addie.

Howdy everyone

Hi Roffle! Hi Rob! Hi Addie!

Hi Ossy!

Heya Liz!!

Rob, how’s it going?

Hi Rob!!

@Peth - I was just listening to Cocteau Twins while swimming in a pool yesterday! Treasure album. Perfect pool music

I always remember driving around Medford listening to Treasure in my little Dodge Colt

Hi Liz! Where are you tonight?

This song was featured in the Docu series....which is called Can't get you Out of my Mind

One of my fave Cocteau Twins songs right now!!!

Hi Addie, going pretty well. Chicken for dinner

@Rob yessssss it's a stunner

Hi Pethie!

Pethie, the whole "Treasure" album is a stunner and a treasure. I love the song Donimo

Doubleplus Cocteau! Twin songs!

And I love the butterfly photos

Triple Echo Cocteau Twin songs!!!

LOVE Lorelei! This and Carolyn’s Fingers are my favorites!

How are you Addie?

oh yes, Carolyn's Fingers is exquisite

Doing great, Rob! It’s very breezy here this evening, windows open, radio on, gin & tonic in hand!

Family Fodder!!

Love them!

Lorelei like Elite Four Ice User Lorelei from Pokemon 🧊 ❄ 💙 and hi Liz!!

This song describes me so well. I am always in the midst of drinking a jar full of coffee and I'm always worried

Sounds good, Addie! It's too hot here to open our windows.

Spidey senses tingling, turn on WPRB, and its The Fall!!!

Hello Chris!

Love City Brewing had a Totally Wired brown Ale with coffee in it

Hello Pethie!

Hello friends!

Am enjoying reading the playlist almost as much as hearing it would've been

Hello Randy!

As much AirPlay as "that other song" is getting - I like one better

Hi Chris! Hi Randy!

KAAAAAATE ♥️

*this one

Double Plus Pethie!! YAY! Great music. Hi Everyone :)

Always Kate, now and forever.

Hello Richard!!

Maybe it's the Haddonfield Mathlete coming back on me?

I'm going to admit right here and now that that other song is one of my least favorites by KB.

I love all her songs, but that one's way down on my imaginary list.

So we're aligned

Indeed we are!

🐈

Have you ever heard Pat Benatars cover of Wuthering Heights? We forget how GREAT Pat could sing - it's a challenging song

Adrian!!

This is my fave Adrian Belew song!

Big electric cat!!

Cat!

I need to give that a listen, @Randy

When I run in the summer, Adidas In Heat!!!!

@Randy, I did hear it a couple of times. You're right, she is/was a great singer

Ok - ASICS but ...

@Randy - you were Haddonfield MAthlete?

I think this is a great album. Animal Grace probably tops the list for me on this album.

I learned - in Dave grohls "Sound City" doc that Neil Geraldo did Rick Springfields guitar parts

The Mommur - so ZAPPA

YAAAAASSSSS

I forget - did Todd Rundgren produce?

No. 1!!!

the perfect blend of Maels and Morodor

So Peth, I’m about to get in the pool with my portable speaker on the pool edge, and this is an amazing song to swim to!

Perfect!!!!

sooo goood!

I hope Lizbot is enjoying her swim soundtrack!

Robyn!!!

I remember someone asking Joey Ramone what he'd do if he woke up one morning as a woman "Take a bath"

Yesssss

@Randy--HAHA

My daughter KNEW this song in Spider-Man: no way hom --- I was so proud

"Of course I did - you play it awhile making dinner"

This is fine dinner-making music

David Byrne lends himself well to household tasks, but "I'll stop what I'm doing; my friends are important to me"

He will also do some driving, so you can get you some sleep

He has a complicated relationship with domesticoty

Time for Pethie to cry

You’re killing it tonight!

https://youtu.be/N3BYv5NUZSU

Best show ever !!! Don’t cry. You are making everyone so happy.

Oh, that Joan Armatrading song makes me cry always.

Measured out in shirts!

(ready freddy)

Armatrading followed by Eno. Yesssss!

9999999999

(Z is mad at me for turning it up and dancing!)

And Stereolab. Pethie, you are killing it with your bed music!

Gotta drop - wife is starting her ESL class and needs the kitchen

Great show & chat!!!

I'm hearing a catbird calling behind Pethie's announcing

You ARE a pretty girl, and often wired as well. And even maybe sorta weird in a spectacular way.

Thanks for listening, Randy!

You don't have to be weird to be...weird

that animal collective song blew my mind :)

Hello everyone

So many WPRB greatest hits esp. 1980-1988 in this show! Double Plus Powerclashing indeed

Hello Guelo! So glad that you were digging it. It's hella swirly

Finally decided to make myself some Impossible nuggets. Can’t dance on an empty stomach!

I just had a yogurt.

Wow just looking over the list, can't believe you played the Dukes, and a deep track to boot! Thanks for the superb tracks, had to wait in the driveway until Laurie finished!

My favorite Renaissance!

Just got outta the pool. Loved that transition between Laurie and Battles!

Hi Chris! Hi Guelo!

😂, Rob! 🐦 a kite just skimmed the water in front of me.

Lovely tunes

@Rob - Saw a peregrine falcon oved Barnegat Bay yesterday! Haven’t seen any osprey yet. I see them in the nests on polls over the bay later in the summer

Hello Steve, thanks!

Thank you, Ossy!

Ack! One of my very favorite Momus songs!

Sorry, had to scoot out for a moment

"Loving peace will come to all with loving" sung in the midst of war.

"Loving peace will come to all with loving" sung by Renaissance in the midst of war.

Apparently Kate B "Running Up The Hill" is the song of summer due to feature in Stranger Things. My 20 year old niece informed of this, I was giddy

Whew! Back in time to hear some Jojo

Hi Liz Bot, this kite that just skimmed the water is a 🪁, right, not one of the birds named "Kite"?

Huzzah! Finally found a browser that would let me post to the chat! Hi, all.

And @Liz Bot, nice on the Peregrine Falcon!

Hello Dr. H!!!

Hi, Pethie. Loving the show, of course!

Thank you so much!

Excellent sub, Pethie! I think Lizbot would approve

This is such a good B&S song!!!

Thank you Li Maria!

Just imagining Mike’s undulating moves to this song…

He's an amazing fellow

this has a come together feeling for some reason.

@richard, I can hear that!

Can’t wait for the new album to drop

Perfume Genius added to bookmarks!

Sadierlab!!!!

Great show, thanks Pethie!

Thanks everyone!!!
