Uneasy Listening

Jun 23, 2022 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM

With Commie Francis

The Kids Just Don't Understand!

It's Double Plus Uneasy as I struggle valiantly to take the place of LizBot who's disappeared from the airwaves like a disgraced committee member from a group photo with Stalin!

If you're at all into this my regular show is Uneasy Listening on Saturday nights 8-11 playing songs on a theme and this week's show will be about CREEPS and creeping around like a creep

Hello Commie

Hi Brian!

Thursday Commie F.😁

great article just came out on dog faced hermans - https://daily.bandcamp.com/features/dog-faced-hermans-list

Hi Bo, how's the birthday comedown

Get up and touch things while you dance...

@Commie, heheh, it was a soft landing thanks for asking😌

Happy birthday, Bo!

And hi Commie & everyone

Hi Commie! Hi chatters :)

Uh Oh!😲😲😲

any requests??? hahah

Commie you're so funny and nice and kind, thank you very much!

you're welcome!

Hmm... I've been wanting/hoping to hear The Bug Club on PRB, are you familiar?

Hi Rob! Thank you!

Hello Richard!

@Commie, failing that... THIS!!!😛

Rizzilos, Sahara Hot Nights, X-Ray Spex, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Flatworms and S.L.F. YAY!!!😲😀😀😀😍

I missed Protex when they played Asbury Lanes in 2015. I vaguely recall seeing the listing, but it had been a long time since the venue booked a great show–so my conscious mind rejected the possibility and I instantly forgot about it. Oh, well. Maybe they’ll come back to the USA in another three decades.

LUV LUV LUV THIS BAND!😍

Thanx Commie!

they were supposed to come in early 2020 or late 2019? but couldn't get into the US

@Commie, did you happen to see the Film Good Vibrations?

nope! is it about the label/scene?

I saw Sahara Hotnights and Finland’s Flaming Sideburns play a free show at Vintage Vinyl about two decades ago, Ambrose. Later, the store’s shows stopped being free–and now the store is gone!

@Commie, all about the Good Vibrations Record Co. And the man (Terry Hooley) who started it and all the band's who were signed to it, Protex, S.L.F. etc...and life in Belfast at that time.

Evening Uneasy Double Plus Listening!

@David, that's brilliant you got to witness them, I always thought SH had a wee bit something extra special!

nice, i will definitely have to check that out!

Hi Ossy!

Hello Ossy!

The movie can be freely viewed (with ads) here:

Hi Ambrose!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.7aa9f705-f382-e584-2101-766a888d443f

@David, I don't use their services sorry but thank you for the info.

Adelit@s ROCK!

On a different subject, there's a Beach Boys memoir called "Good Vibrations" written by (yecch) Mike Love.

@David, LOL! No Love for Mike?

Love this. Reminds me of Sial, a Malaysian band.

That worked out ALL of my stress!😌

reese i love sial! i can see what you mean

Super fast, super loud, and what did they say? Sial!

i think that song was in english haha but the title of the record is filipino i think?

Oooh, I see My Perfect Cousin made an appearance! Couldn’t tune in ‘til now. Hi Commie! Thx for subbing!

hi liz! happy to do a time slot early enoguh that rob doesn't fall asleep!

😆

Nice liliput cover!

thanks to this cover, i finally know the words to this song!!!

Srsly, hard ro

…to tell!

I’ve heard of Eddie & Ernie because of "Outcast", a song I first heard by the Animals and saw the Fleshtones play live.

Heyy! Been listening for awhile now just wanted to say sounds soo sick

Transitions great flow great

So good

awesome thank you!

Alas, the scuba emoji does not work with my current OS so instead I say 🥽.

10,000 of those please

i would like to say i meticulously planned this show but lol

Hey Liz!

Hi Ossy!

Greetings from Ann Arbor.

wow made it to michigan!

Pittsburgh is behind me now. Michigan and more Michigan up ahead. Leaving for the U.P. on Saturday. Going to Detroit after that.

Slept hard last night after loads of driving. It never ceases to amaze me how HARD it is to get around Pittsburgh- your rivers are beautiful but make for confoundingly serpentine routes!

yeah the first few years bill and i lived there we'd just get lost and be so confused about how we got anywhere

rivers and cliffs!

*wakes up and reads Commie's 6:10 comment* 😆

Heya peeps!

Loving this Los Punk Rockers cover

Hi Addie!

And hi Liz Bot!

Hello Rob! Happy pre Friday!

Today was Friday for my wife! She's off tomorrow

I have been summoned by delicious sounds of Eno

Hi Pethie! Yeah, digging the Eno!

Hi Addie! Hi Rob!

@Rob - Naturally I hit up the National Aviary while in Pittsburgh this trip 🦅 🦢 🐦

This album is hella fun.

pethie you are after me again LIKE IT SHOULD BE

i love this album, listened the hell out of it in my tweens

Hello Lizbot! Say Hi to Ann!

Only I don’t have to worry about driving home at 3am

@Commie - ahem, Pethie was after me for a long time!

this is my very very slight nod to the progginess of liz's show

Hi Ambrose!

she was only after me for like one summer but WHAT A SUMMER

I follow Commie around like the smitten girl fan that I am…

@Commie - haha, thanks!

‘twas magical

Hello Pethie!

it's unusual for the show after me to stick around as long as cj has

I just Eno’d it up hard in Pittsburgh. Was in an Eno mood and showered to Another Green World, plus my teen watched Pittsburgh-set & shot Me & Earl & The Dying Girl, which has an Eno soundtrack

@Commie - True! Peth is a great adjacent showmate, or whatever ya wanna call it! There’s plenty o fresh Peth to go around!

@Commie, this is class!😍

Hi Lizbot, hope you’re having a great trip!

Liz Bot, did you enjoy the National Aviary?

bo, just some iron curtain polka-surf!

@Addie - So far so good, but it’s hot here in the Midwest!

@Rob - whoops! Deleted last comment by mistake, but Yes! I’d been there once a decade ago and was happy to return! I met a couple of very personable Hyacinth macaws, many lorikeets, some very vocal pheasants- loads of quality birdage.

Liz Bot, that sounds wonderful!

Bush Tetras!

my friend won tickets to see them at johnny brenda's and invited me and i DIDN'T GO why

@Commie???

bush tetras!

I'm sure you had a good reason not to go.

The guitar in this song is the shite!

yeah probably but i can't remember what it was!

it's avant garde!

TARRRR

addiction addiction addiction addiction!

No surprises, I had a giant poster of Steve Strange hanging in my bedroom back in the day

shocking!

I had one Visage single but the title as apes me now🤔

*escapes*

fade to grey probably?

Yes, prop.

Sat outside, it's so cool and pleasant.

DUTCH NOT SWEDISH

why do i always do that

I'm neutral.

Wow, The Joyce McKinney Experience. Not a band name I've seen in a very long time, let alone heard on the radio

@Rob, same, I'll have some more please.

i was reading joyce mckinney's wikipedia, obviously she did some terrible crime but she got up to some weird shit in later years.

... On second thoughts!

she wasn't in the band, they just named themselves after her

take that how you will!

Ah, point taken.

Kinda late here but was driving and could t post…great to hear Undertones..perfect cousin!!

i'm always happy to play the undertones!

I'm even more fashionably late...PARSNIP at high volume whilst drivinggggggggggg!

Los Pajaros= the birds

ooh! appropriate

where's pethie we're about to go back to the disco

@Commie, thanks for all this great music tonight including the birthday treat!😊

glad to oblige, i really liked that bug club song also!

Awe, I'm so glad, they have one great song after another, playing to sold out crowds across the pond!

❤❤❤❤

Thanks for the show Commie Francis!!

thanks for listening!

Krista will actually be subbing for me next week! I’ll be back the week after.

Thank for the Nez!

i said that!

Thanks for the show!

always addie!
