Shake and shimmy to the gifs.... discos here... and discos there...

We are open for intellectual and emotional exchange. And yes, silly finnish disco gifs. Hi Brian.

Love that pic of Kajagoogoo--the '80s epitomized! :D

Hello DJ deirdre and Brian

Hiya. I know, I like to see the new wave boys well-fed and well-sunned for a change

Hey hi heylo! Hiya. Guess what Deirdre?

Are Jimmy Smack and MrM one in the same, ;o ?

UNCLE Guelo !!

UNCLE GUELOO!!!! : D

one and the same

Congrats!!! I must shout thee out

Healthy baby girl named Story. Born on Father’s Day ;)

Thnx. This song is 11/10

Oh, missed that--congrats, Guelo!

Awh, that's a nice name!

And agreed Maria lol, this explains why he's not here today, conflicts of interest and allat

beautiful Father's Day gift--the best!

Awesome ambient sounds like Ameena and PAX

A good duo to be reminiscent of!

I want the job of the percussionist who just hits the DING The dinger.

Hi Krista!

Same, although it would be an unforgiving job should you be slightly off-beat ("you had one job!")

Hi Ossy! I had that job in concert band when the percussion section was taken out by mono and I did indeed mess it up

Lovely nice Kristia, sorry for that experience. One other awkward experience of mine is I called one radio station in Philly for their freestyle friday shout outs and wanted to shout out a different radio personality and the lady dj didn't accept it lol, because shes from a different company and said something of competition. Should've mentioned that a long time ago, lol

The nerve of you to listen to more than one radio station Ossy!

so good cheers

LMAO, how dare me trying to show an appreciation of a Philly radio legend(Patty Jackson) on a different radio station, 🤣🤣. It's not like I flat out demeaned and insulted them, LOL.

Cheers 2 u, Inge!

Haha, I guess where salaried Philly radio profeshionals get involved, pride is on the line!

I love playing from this record. Mexico of the Czechoslovakian imagination is such a welcoming place!

This song reminds me kinda if the 80s arcade game, Root Beer Tapper 🍺 ❤🕹

that game sounds fun

Hello deirdre dionysiac, Good afternoon folks. Me thinks perhaps Ossy has more than one ear... :)

I'm beginning to suspect that about a lot of you...

Exactly what I figured Deidre and looking at various other peoples bad experiences with stations like that. If it was against their rules, they should've mentioned it on their page or at least have people say their take on a comment section and let them decide from them, lmao, but hey pride matters over humility to some of them. Irony of said dj is best friends with that person, I tried to mention 🤣....Oh yeah the game root beer tapper, is an extremely fun game, I played since a kid.

Nice Palette of songs btw.

The bartender protagonist was in Wreck it Ralph 1!

Love that picture of the old school cup holder on that bike. Somewhere right out of time.

Was an album cover from the last artist, K. Yoshimatu. His album Marine Crystal, reissued last week which I probably should have played (but that doo wop was too good!)

And agreed Ossy!

Rofflestomp, hi. Yeah, just like a playlist of genres and games, me likes stations like wprb, wdas, the breeze and some of q102 :)

Ossy, lol, I can understand that. For me, I love listening and wondering if I should have brought my passport along for the trip. :)

Wow! We heard the French Frith Kaiser Thompson version of that Haisai song yesterday ! John French, Fred Frith, Henry Kaiser, Richard Thompson. Only on wprb will you hear 2 diff versions of a fun Okinawan pop song, 2 days in a row!

Brian D, I was just thinking that something I will likely never say is that 'I heard that on MMR the other day.' Don't listen to that tripe anyway, but just sayin' :)

Yeah, like I love the classix philly(that prideful station that had that hissy fit of me) on the Friday nights, with their music. The call ins are the least of my blessings, cause cold sweat nervousness on live air and that last inconvience Rofflestomp, lmao.

you caught my daughter's ear w this one :)

And 2 more versions of it just now to boot! Lol, didn't know it was played yesterday! But that song is everywhere, I read that it was an anthemic favorite in Japanese punk bars in the late 70s

Lol, may I ask how old she is?

I worked in a warehouse for a quarter century and it was either wmmr or magic 102 for 90% of the time. Fortunately I was in an office most of the day away from that. And about a 5-10 years period where I could listen to WPRB and personal music in the office. But i just dislike commercial radio so much. Terrible for my ears, head, overall nervous system.

Well, so is Nicole Campau on this record, funny enough!

Yikes, sounds like torture, Brian! (102 & MMR)

Yeah Brian, most commercial stations, play the exact same songs every day, no wait, every 5 seconds and they ignore or outright vocally reject requests of songs. Some of them are blatantly rude on live air to listeners.

Brian D, nice that you got some sanctuary. I watched a commercial laden movie on Prime the other day and it was traumatizing.

It was torture and not just the radio close - mindedness... Those stations are just playlists. A constant pool of the same on a not so random player

Ossy rarely are "requests" actually requests. The station was already going to play the song. Then they match up a call in request recording to make it seem like it was spontaneous. Many stations are robotic and pre recorded with little or no live dj input

Thanks for the afternoon trip deirdre. Passport stamped!

Prime has commercials? Never saw an ad on Prime.

Brian D, the corporate stations are all formula for sure.

Brian D, There are some free to see options on Prime video that have ads. Not a medium I care for.

100% Brian, makes 100 sense!

Thanks everyone! Please continue commiserating with Esoterica on the follies of commercial radio!
