You've gotta ask yourself, are you feeling lucky? Well, are ya, punk?

👻

JS played some of the new RRR Band last night. Wild stuff.

SUPERCHUNK❣️

The chunk nice

agree!

concur!

Drummer Jon Wurster hails from the thriving PA metropolis of Harleysville.

oh cool, bri on RRR band. love that jon played, too

hey reese, yeah that is cool. i follow jon w. on Instagram. crazy posts haha

I always enjoy the MOLCHAT DOMA❗️

me, too, mr. m:)

I thought you didn’t know how to pronounce Jonathan’s last name. L0LZ

haha

his real name is jonathan taylor searles

Smart to go with… SOMETHING

lol

mellow vibes

see?

#currentmood

haha

I like it

me, too

Jon Wurster, aka Philly Boy Roy? https://bestshow.fandom.com/wiki/Philly_Boy_Roy

hmm i guess so?

and hi david

reese, you still there?

I haven’t listened to that program since it became a podcast. Now it’s simply “The Best Show”. Scharpling and Wurster guest-voiced on “The Simpsons” in 2016.

My blood pressure is What’s UP ⬆️ 🤪

lol

oh yeah, i have scharpling's book

jon solomon interviewed him, i think they are pals

"Operetico" reminds me of "You Set the Scene"!

interesting

The ending of that Love track, I mean.

Hey good afternoon Esoterica!

howdy dsm!

good afternoon!

This Shirts track is fun

yeah i think so, too

i will have to relisten, david

Hi everybody!

howdy stevie!

I saw Shirts singer Annie Golden a few years ago at New Brunswick's George Street Playhouse in “The Nutcracker and I” with the late Peter Scolari.

Hey Stevie!

oh cool, david.

Greetings and Salutations, Everyone

Thought I heard Mordecai and my ears pricked up

yeah yeah fr1day!

Annie Golden turns up in a lot of shows n films of latte. Orange is the New Black etc.

Mmmm, latte

lol mr. m. cool, bri. i have never watched OITNB

feel like i missed the boat

Don’t go to prison or you won’t know what to do

haha

actually i shouldn't laugh, no tempting fate here

Ooohhh, you’re guilty of something, eh?!

I see today that the film EXOTICA will be released on Criterion blu ray on September 20th with a bunch of extras!

i am guilty of a guilty conscience.

That sounds awful

oh cool, mr. m re: exotica. bruce davidson, right?

haha i was trying to be clever.

Youuuu arrrhhh!!

lol

I see the name BRUCE GREENWOOD

yes! he plays a creepy guy

A film by Atom Egoyan

yes! he was a hot director back then

thx for the info

Most importantly, MIA KIRSHNER 💖

i love criterion channel

well, of course:) mia

Enjoying these nice selections in this set too! Cheers, DJ Esoterica!

thx! pacific range is out of LA, inspired by the Dead (can you tell?)

I did think it might get a reaction from Brian D. So maybe that’s why 😃

WestSiiidddeee!

I SCREAM!

ICE CREAM!

yum!

thanks, mr. m, glad you like the selections.

hey wrong playlist

you see it?

we all good

nvm

What the?! L0LZ

Step away for one min…

yes

Something funny happened to the playlist??

yup again,

again and again again and again and again

I never saw “Exotica”. I see it was Sarah Polley’s next film role after “The Adventures of Baron Munchausen”. I saw Sarah’s autobiographical documentary “The Stories We Tell”, not knowing the supposed home movies were dramatized.

Quasi!!!

WestSiiidddeee!!

Hi all!! Great show, as usual DJ ESO:) Liked the double shot of Game Theory

Was it a good documentary, David Shortell?

Westside!

LOW 💛

sorry my westside comment was tardy

lol

Haha

Yes, Mr. M. Sarah only discovered at 28 that Michael Polley wasn’t her true father.

Classic here

yeah bri

hey thanks, richard!

i can always use a double shot of game theory

interesting david re: Polley

Heavy. @David Shortell

She suspected earlier, actually. Her siblings teased her about her lack of resemblance to them.

Rude. L0LZ

Yeah that Sara Polley docu was really interesting

sounds interesting

Guud Stuffs 🎶🎵

thx

Is this artist pronounced "Huey"?

Oooo -eeee

just consulted jon s. today. it is wilbo's old band
