hey

We are all in the other chat! L0LZ

I bought a $1 discarded “Parallel Lines” CD from my local library yesterday. It has 3 bonus live tracks.

Can you please let me know which of your two playlists you would like me to delete? Type "keep this one" in the chat of the playlist you wish to continue and I'll do the rest.

hey

aw i am logged in to this one as a chatter

thx jon

i will keep this one

howdy!

A 2008 Deluxe Collector's Edition? That must be much better than my aforementioned 2001 reissue.

so moving

hi DJ ESO!!

Hi, DJ Esoterica!

howdy tom!

and david!

stay here! this is where it's at

Greetings and Salutations, Ξveryone!

Blondie had such great ingredients. Players, songs, look. Really striking in my 5th grade world at the time I heard then 1st (not long after Parallel Lines)

So this song came out 6 years after the crappy Casper movie with Christina Ricci.

Little Somewhere over Rainbow quote on piano at the end of Casper there

CASPER Daniel song from 1989. Playlist often has reissue year

yes true, thx, bri!

🐵🙉🙊🙈 ‘🐬’ ❣️

To be Orr....

THE CARS 💟

Hello, all! Just dropping by to remind everyone that Ben Orr was the best singer in the Cars :)

Sorry. That song came out 6 years BEFORE the crappy Casper movie with Christina Ricci.

no worries, david

hey there, bud!

right-o, bud

Hello, Eso! I enjoyed the double dose of Daniel Johnston.

Dueling Brandos....

Classic Breathtaking 80s, The Cars ❤

I'm headed out in my car. I'll listen on my drive. Great show so far. Thanks ahead of time!

Also greats all!

...greetings

I like the Ric O quavering vocals too . Fit the songs. But Ben had some great chops yes. Drive was on MTV hourly for a year or so. I like the rocking Cars tunes. Drive is ok... kinda sleepy. Good sounds tho

Daniel Johnston’s legendary 1990 live radio performance, referred to in the 2005 documentary “The Devil and Daniel Johnston”, can be heard here:

https://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/04/from_the_wfmu_a_1.html

WFMU history there

DJ Colonel Esoterica 🤠❣️

There is an American Gigolo remake on the immediate horizon.

Showtime series starring Jon Bernthal.

Due to watch this one again (Squid)

Hmmm, 🤔 not sure about Richy Gere hanging. I know Michael Keaton hangs upside down as the 🦇

FEELIES! RADIO CRANKED!

I’m BATMAN 🦇

Driving in a car down the shore song

I feel that, bri!

I can't get my radio to 11!

ha richard!

Or ... Drive thru the Pine Barrens

Hard not to tune away and play the whole Good Earth lp now.... but no

thanks david for the johnston performance.

Pick up ya stitches ... Dean/ Don said so

oh yeah bri, this is good version, no?

They nailed it ya

David - That 1995 Casper movie is cute, especially seeing a sweeter and innocent side of Wednesday Addams!

Richard Thompson does an amazing version of Season of the Witch on the Crossing Jordan soundtrack!

Also, the Season of the Warlock 🧙‍♂️🎶🎵

Up there w Butthole Surfers doing Hurdy Gurdy Man

oh yeah, bri! which i have played on my show as well:)

Ya that RT version is so good! Sold out at Sellersville. Might have to go to that free show way down NJ way

wow bud, that is cool

yes warlock as well, mr. m

what free RT show!?

There’s an emoji for that! 🤣

#Warlock 🧙‍♂️

Wow, didn't realize Sellersville show was sold out!

https://www.camdencounty.com/event/richard-thompson-jonah-tolchin-sundown-music-series/

NICO 💟

yup, mr. m

thx bri!

I haven’t fully seen “I Shot Andy Warhol” since its theatrical release. I remember Yo La Tengo cast as the Velvet Underground. I didn’t recognize “The Sopranos” star Michael Imperioli as a downtown art snob.

THE POLICE ♥️♥️♥️

yup

Police got such a good sound. I miss bass player Sting...

URGH! ??? I’m not familiar

i have a soft spot for this album. i was in freshman year of HS. haha

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urgh!_A_Music_War

you can watch on vimeo, mr. m

Oh! Thanks for informations!

I watched a doc about the Police recently. I hadn't realized before that Andy Summers is around 10 years older Sting and Stewart.

@DJ Esoterica!

you are soooo welcome:)

Ya Andy 80 this year. Well just at the end o year as I see his bday is Dec 31.

Similar realization too when i heard his age. Ray M from Doors too (born 1939).

It's hard to imagine him being 80. Probably even more so for him!

He was in the New Animals at the time of their 1968 final album. "Love Is", Bud! Before that he was in Zoot Money's group, Dantalian's Chariot ("Madman Running Through the Fields").

P0LK TO PUNK

Tuli Kupferberg from The Fugs was born in 1923. Older than my dad was

Thank you for another intriguing show, more the pity it is the last. Looking forward to your regular program.

yeah, seems odd to be in same age group as McCartney

@David I learned that from the same Doc. Can't recall the name, but it was mainly about Andy.

Tuli would be 100 next year.

Intellectual schmectual! I deal in useless trivia ha

I’m proud of my nuggets

I saw Tuli at the Anthology Film Archives (in 2004, I think) for a screening of a Holy Modal Rounders documentary and a short Fugs concert film. He looked in fine health.

You’re “telling me more and more about some useless information, supposed to fire my imagination”. (Just what does that mean, anyway?)

Dick Taylor of Pretty Things coming up on 80th bday too

Lili Taylor ❤️‍🔥

Ione Skye ❤️‍🔥

yes, mr.m

me, too:)

I concur!

love ione too (donovan connection there)

A reaction to commercialism, adverts news, tv etc David most likely

ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN❣️

The ugh I'm so bored rock star attitude very important in rnr! Or Urgh! I should say

Dick Taylor was replaced in the Rolling Stones by Bill Wyman, who turns 86 next month!

Bill Perks aka Wyman put out a good book years back

UBU!

Of the PERE variety!

agree on the bored look, bri. i think ian mcculloch has a great look.

I meant the stones lyric but that too yes Ian

ohhh

Get outta the rain you ! Or put a newspaper on yer head (Rocky 'Orror segue? )

Or put a giant peach on yer head...

This one is a real PEACH 🍑🧡

great film adaptation

i highly recommend

ROALD DAHL 🧡

I saw one of the Ubu plays (with music!) at a makeshift “theater” on Rivington Street. I’m not really an Alfred Jarry fan, but I love my Bill Griffith illustrated Jarry t-shirt.

agree

what we’ve got here is a failure to communicate

Need the LABORWAVE schedule! I’m busy that day!

Laborwave sched was up on the prb Insta today MrM!

Laat Laborwave is a vivid blast, especially Dana's rollerskate and disco themed show after SOTC

OHH! DSM! THX! BRB!

👍

Oh Holy Guacamole! This FAVOURITE Song!

It seems like just yesterday I saw TV ads for "Hocus Pocus" and instantly decided I was never going to see it. Is it considered a classic film now?

i knew it!!:)

💜✝️🟣🔮🍇☔🎵

PRINCE 👑💜🎸

YES

‘Purple Rain’ 💜💜💜

Speaking of The Prince, happy belated birthday to the King of Pop, Michael, who's birthday was on this past Monday!

There’s a Hocus Pocus 2 this year, right?

☔️💟

End of September, DSM! Giggles 🤭

hey dave!

I heard there's going to be a Hocus Pocus 2, too, DSM

It must drive hobgoblins crazy when people confuse them with goblins.

oh yeah, love the emoji

DJ DaveTheObscure! 💜

lol david

🧙‍♀️

nice, dsm

I pronounce “Urgh!” like “erg”, Esoterica. Speaking of which, few people showed up for Mikey Erg’s New Brunswick show Sunday night. The day after the Ergs play the Sept 24 “Frantic City” event in Atlantic City; Mikey Erg will play with Crazy & the Brains, Fetal Rage, Begorrah and Doug Zambon on the Baronet Rooftop in Asbury Park.

so do i, but didn;t know what was official

☔️🎸🎶🎵

yeah i saw the ergs are playing, and toddophonic was discussing
