Another lovely day for some rock and roll. Starting off kinda mellow though

AWWWW yeah 😎

Good morning! T to the O to the B....

HELP ME

I do believe that the image macro for this show may be my new favorite.

Morning all. Looks like some of you have been up for awhile.

Don't feel bad Unoclay, he has a song for my name to this exact tune. My ears flew off as I tried listening to it.

AHHAHHAHH

🤣

TAndy, it’s a B-Side to me. Next week is the best yet, not to overhype it or anything.

im going to be laying on the beach with that song stuck in my f'n brain

😳

Dave, I have jazz transition already picked for next week

Unoclay, lots of great melodies ahead to hopefully replace it.

Looking forward to it, Tobias.

You’re in trouble when partner says Live is boring

Love not live

i was half listening to the intro for Tobias and it sounded like it was saying Joe Biden ... I think I have to omuch wax in my ears

I think you can fit most names into the melody. The man is a genius

Still think someone needs to do a glam rock re -edit of that with the name Jobriath

Brian, maybe you should make it happen. Tobias is on Vol 11, what number would Jobriath be on?

Ya 20 thousand or so little ditties. Matt Farley is a busy guy with his recording. "Used to be a Pizza Hut" ha

I’ll have to check that one out after my show

Cue the trumpet

I miss all the 10 am transitions because of a standing work call. 😢 Today's meme is a winner!

Thanks

I’m proclaiming next week’s meme the best ever.

I'm brimming with exskitement

I’m sure I overhyped it by now. Selling the sizzle.

Wow. This song, album cover, promo photo, everything is perfect.

Yeah, it’s a fun song.

I'm just a total sucker for that aesthetic. The fact that the song is a bop is just a cake on top of another cake.

Natürlich! I enjoyed that skwuank

Nice, I feel like I accomplished something today

Love the Khruangbin!

Yes, but im sure we all love it including the person who put it in a beer commercial

Khruangbin is so classic already. Can’t wait to see Ff and Uwade on the 12th!!!!

Cool good for Khruangbin! Out of the commercial loop on streaming cord cut land here

Mastodon!

A first for me

A perfect band name for the sound

The "eaten cassette tape" effect

That was not a tech issue, it was a production choice by the artist

Yep. That was big in the 10s

That was hot

GOUGE AWAY!

Bartees Strange 💜

It was time for big hit

Now we're rocking

BS will be on tour soon

Joey Santiago is very important to me

Yeah. And Frank/ Francis /Thomas. great interlocking gtr parts

Ghibli 💙 Pixies >:)

TAndy, where else on earth are they put together?

I was looking at Bartees Strange's touring schedule; he's currently touring Europe & the UK but will get back to the US in August. Sadly, Philadelphia is not listed.

Saw Pixies in Asbury outdoors 5-6 yrs ago. Great time. Ocean behind. So many great songs

The wonderland that is Dubya P. Arby's!

Yeah, I was hoping he would be in Asbury Park with Interpol. I think Goon Sax is the opener for that one.

Pixies will be on tour soon too. Hope to catch that one.

Is that Aldous Snow

This one is super smooth for PRB, but on the back half they get pretty Verve-y

Yeah looks like Europe for summer. Then a few shows sched in US later in Oct. Hope Pixies add more US dates soon

This sounds like something Aldous would put out.

Brian, same

The next track will be a little rough around the edges since this one is so smooth

Eight miles high meets I can see for miles type intro

I heard Mike Lupica googling while DJing last night, so I’m not alone.

Wednesday actually

I'm sure all the best DJs do that.

Probably

TV PRIEST!

They just put out a strong new album

Yes!

They are coming to PhilaMOCA on 7/27.

🎉

Cool

I love carpenter brut. "Sexkiller on the loose" is a perfect song by them. Quite enjoying this album lately, too.

Nice, they’re touring Europe in the fall if you’re in the area

Yep brut like champagne. U gets the oo sound

Thank you, DJ Tobias! Great selections this morning. Looking forward to the jazz transition next week.

Thanks, Brian. I bet you enunciate beautifully in real life. Not kidding for once

Thanks, Christine, ending and starting on a jazz note next week
