Dan Ruccia (host) 3:09:37 PM
We are always threatening to take over
Dan Ruccia (host) 3:09:56 PM
That's also one of my favorite maps ever, TAndy
TAndy 3:10:45 PM
Dan. I am at Asbury Park and I spotted a cephalopod
Dan Ruccia (host) 3:10:55 PM
Oooo
Dan Ruccia (host) 3:10:58 PM
What kind??

Amazing!
Dan Ruccia (host) 3:11:49 PM
A 7-legged octopus!!
TAndy 3:14:39 PM
He lost one during a fight
Jon Solomon 3:15:57 PM
Playlist is three for three!
Brian D 3:16:38 PM
The Mice!
TAndy 3:16:51 PM
WPRB DJs LOVE this song
Dan Ruccia (host) 3:17:11 PM
As someone said on social media, this is the real national anthem
Brian D 3:17:22 PM
Bob Pollard's fave band
ROFFLESTOMP 3:19:53 PM
Not our finest hour. That's for sure.
ROFFLESTOMP 3:20:39 PM
That said, hope everyone is well.
DSM 3:21:58 PM
The video for this was one of my faves
Jon Solomon 3:22:33 PM
There's an "expanded version" of the video on the Matador YouTube.
DSM 3:23:05 PM
Thank you Jon! I will be heading there later!
Brian D 3:34:02 PM
Very good Tengo collection that one. And Sugarcube is a wprb classic classic definitely. Great memories hearing that one
Brian D 3:35:44 PM
It's also INSTUPITUOUS!
Dan Ruccia (host) 3:37:37 PM
It's one of those tunes that took me a while to get into, since it seemed a little too light for college age me. I've learned a lot since then
Brian D 4:21:43 PM
Someone oughta mashup this Faust with Queen Flash Gordon one day... maybe it already happened
Krista 4:21:55 PM
Perfect song for Sunshine trying to get up all the animals in the popper toy. She has one popped so far.
Dan Ruccia (host) 4:23:14 PM
@Krista, I hope you're putting together a mega playlist of all the sunshine songs for her
Dan Ruccia (host) 4:23:47 PM
@Brian: that's a fun idea! Seems like it ought to already exist?
Krista 4:25:28 PM
@brian when I played this, a listener emailed to say it sounded like flash Gordon couldn't get started haha
Krista 4:27:04 PM
I have many Sunshine playlists. one that she curates since gestation, one that soothes the sleepy time beast, one that her is just Sunshine in the song title lyrics. Weirdly enough Meyer has many Sunshine songs in his playlist from far before she was even a hope
Krista 4:29:29 PM
I've been listening to a lot of these eccentric soul releases. So good!
Brian D 4:31:03 PM
Me too! Eccentric Soul. And Cult Cargo. Numero for the win
Dan Ruccia (host) 4:36:07 PM
They're so good! I got to interview one of the founders of the label for an article in 2005 or 6. Totally cool, weird dude
Dan Ruccia (host) 4:37:19 PM
What are your favorite Eccentric Souls? Beyond the Capsoul, my tops are Twinight and Deep City
Brian D 4:38:17 PM
Grew up on this Willie lp. Heard just about every Saturday on mom's turntable
Dan Ruccia (host) 4:38:43 PM
He actually shows up on a couple tracks on this version of it
Brian D 4:40:42 PM
I have E.S. The Prix Label. And E.S. The Deep City Label. Loving both. Can't wait to check out more
Brian D 4:43:23 PM
Highly recommend the Cult Cargo Belize City Boil Up. And Cult Cargo Salsa de Boricua de Chicago. Numero just kills it
Dan Ruccia (host) 4:43:57 PM
Belize City Boil Up is great. Will have to check the other one out
Krista 4:49:53 PM
Outskirts of Deep City
Dan Ruccia (host) 4:52:18 PM
A good one, too!
Dan Ruccia (host) 4:59:36 PM
Thanks for listening and chatting, y'all!
Brian D 5:00:03 PM
A fine show Dan. Good closer here
TAndy 5:00:12 PM
Thanks for the show Dan!
