hiii

Dana K!

Oh boy time to

feels like i've been away for a while!

Welcome back to the fold! 😤

More crash symbols please. :)

the pizza my roommate ordered arrived just in time for the show

mmmm

I had big plans to get to the Rotunda last week, but dear old Amazon shut me down. I simply leave nothing on my proch in my neighborhood. ARG!

Aaaagh you had to say pizza I guess it's pizza for dinner

our amazon guy throws the packages behind the trashcans...it's worked pretty well

Dana K, I need that guy!

Where did you show? The main rotunda is full of shipping material and storage.

There is a room with a stage

In back I guess?

Yes, not sure where you're referring to

An upstairs was an option to I think.

But it sure was not between those boxes. lol

Moving on, Thanks for cool tunes. We move on always..

you are welcome!

Great show Dana K! Hi all!

thank you richard!

Darling Buds or Primitives?

a good question! i think on average, i like more primitives songs...but the darling buds songs i like, i really like.

I’ve been sitting in my car outside of work for 45 mins glued to this set, I literally have to go in and I have fomo

Primitives are more of an album band. Their first two are pure gold

i'm sorry about having to work, dylan!

The Umbrellas sound so much like early Pastels that it’s uncanny

Quite ok I like to work ^_^ thanks for the tunes

Jam Alert 🚨🚨🚨

Thanks for cool jams tonight indeed Dana. Have a great night all.

(sigh) FTR

Uncle Bob!

Mike, I agree with the Pastels comparison! Great sound:)

A fine song off of a fine album. Doug n Bob

Absolutely Brian.

Another jam. This show really has me in an autumn mood rn, at least till I step outside into the heat lolol

man, susan anway-era mag fields really brings the sad feelings. RIP.

Can't beat the Magnetic Fields too!

gotta collect myself before the next mic break.

Another classic

Yoooo tribute to DJ Number 6

haha, that definitely occurred to me!

Epic show so far, that "Turning Red" from not too long ago might have me check out the rest of their work later! Time to get ready for work though

i get all the night shift workers!

MR HITCHCOCK!!!!!!!!! YAY

"but all i hear when they embrace is just the kiss of skulls"

Is that thunder outside anyone hearing or is someone just doing some motorcycle tomfoolery outside my place lol

i've got big headphones on so i couldn't tell you!

Just confirmed it's thunder wtf it shook the foundation of the house

That's the best way to listen to Don't Back the Front!!

Big headphones, that is :)

I wonder if kiss of skulls is a band?

@ Dana K (host) Another xlnt show! I enjoyed that riff on "The Prisoner" classic TV series by The Times, "I Helped Patrick McGoohan Escape." As I recall, in the final episode his former secret agent character does escape from the bizarre mystery village (in real life, a "folly" architectural riff on classical ruins in Wales that was used for the exteriors).

i've got to actually watch the prisoner at some point!

Wow! Just had a power surge that cut power for a few minutes, even lost cell data!

you're not in philly, are you? that got me nervous!

Nah, Trenton. We just had a very strong little cell meander past us specifically.

yikes!

Denim pairs well with Elvis!

Hello Jen! Bringing me back with a lot of these.

Hi all in chat!

Freestyle Friday all

@ TAndy Weather radar does show a strong storm front moving northeast thru Pennsylvania but the center seems to be more over Lancaster County than Philly itself.

didn't hear anything unusual

Yeah we have a cold front coming through tonight, right now a decent cluster of cells in Lancaster and Coatesville slowly heading east northeast

We need rain badly in Central Jersey though so I welcome it

@ Dana K (host) I think you'll enjoy "The Prisoner." I'm sure it's available on DVD sets, maybe streaming toio ... "What do you want?!!" "INFORMATION!" "You won't get it!"

@ TAndy Yes, we do indeed need rain here in Central NJ (I'm in the Princeton area.) Hmmm ... yes, I need to schedule a major hike or bike ride ... with Murphy's Law, it will then rain like that day! ;-))

Pulling Hiss?

*Purling Hiss

I think they're playing Philly tonight

Chronophage!

Yeah, bring the rain. It rained a bit it Willingboro and saw a rainbow

Well I just got positively drenched getting to my car! LOL

I gotta keep an eye on the weather radar. bandit wanted to go sit on the porch. she is slightly terrified of rain, but mostly the included thunder.

My daughter said on the drive home she really liked your set tonight. So I guess she likes 1960s-style tunes?

and hey! i haven't heard let alone thought about velocity girl in some time. this track is fresh

Okay it can stop raining at some point now starting to get some flash flooding

apparently in philly we have a drizzle.

Was in Princeton, dry. Driving south, wild lightning.

@jon, that makes me very happy to hear! about your daughter enjoying the set, that is

there is a big cell over trenton moving north east. no rain in abington....yet

She doesn't talk about music beyond musicals much so this was...an interesting development.

that's EVEN BETTER

Sitting in my car waiting for it to stop. The rain just eased up a little bit and I can barely see the moon through the clouds

that's no moon...

Saw half the moon

Jon pretty much all of South and West Mercer county got drenched. The rain is finally back to a manageable amount though so I'll be off to work now.

@ Colin "that's no moon..." ... "It's a space station !!!"

i had to have heard the suburbs before. definitely have not heard this song. but i like it!

one of the twin cities' finest

richard, bingo! i love star trek

yeah, totally gonna check out some more suburbs, i had to have heard a song before.

🎷

imagine, new band today "lets call us biff bang pow! nobody has ever used that name" googles it what the?!?!

so many of those 80s UK bands loved the creation

i was just looking, BBP tshirts are not available.

ha! during that BBP song i had the thought that we are skirting the edge of cure vibes.

i love it when my selections appear to make sense

Just got to work safely, so many huge ponds collected on the road from all the sudden rain

glad you made it without hydroplaning! uh, like this band

those road ponds pop up fast when one is driving at night. ha! that last song was called hydroplane!

Hahaha I was gonna say

4 bad fly

BADFLY

that may be my favorite phone number/ unused band name of the decade.

This SFA is too good. Thanks for the show Dana K 💙

you're very welcome!

last song!

agrees with tandy on the song selection. DBTF!!

lots of great guitar this week

so many songs i didn't get to because i was blabbing too much, argh! next week!

Woo!!

Thanks for another TOP Show Dana!

trenton area about to get whooped by another storm.

We like blabbing. Grrrreeattt show Dana K!!!!
