@ Mike, I love garlic but it doesn't love me!
Mike Lupica (host) 8:33:24 PM
In that case, I'd say garlic needs a talkin' to.
Ambrose Hughes 8:37:28 PM
@Mike, roasted, we get along great!
Ambrose Hughes 8:38:29 PM

I frequently forget how much I loved this Built to Spill record when it came out. I think I saw them on that tour... at Maxwell's, maybe?
Mike Lupica (host) 8:56:19 PM
Also, I wouldn't abbreviate them as BTS for the under-12 set. You may get a stern talkin' to.
richard lyons 8:56:58 PM
Sooo goood! I was lucky in one respect to live in Boise While he was doing his early thing. Also with Calvin from K. Crazy Horse

double dog dare you to play a double shot! Those CDs are buried in storage:( I will correct that
Mike Lupica (host) 9:05:57 PM
Richard, all of my Treepeople product went the way of the Woolly Mammouth eons ago. I vaguely remember a song called "Funnelhead" being particularly good, though?

Marcus Watt 9:31:22 PM
You are the only dj ever to play The Contours without mentioning Do You Love Me.
Mike Lupica (host) 9:33:29 PM
Matthew, I already forgot which track I was just talking over but I *think* it was by Lusine.
Mike Lupica (host) 9:33:48 PM
Marcus, I aim to shock and awe.
Mike Lupica (host) 9:34:29 PM
Reese, is there another good song on there apart from the "Sometimes I don't thrill you, just don't let me fuck up will you" one?
Mike Lupica (host) 9:34:46 PM
Serious question, no offense if that record is your jam! It just never clicked for me.
richard lyons 9:37:23 PM
As a 24/7 family caregiver, I was happy to hear about your beach trip:)
Mike Lupica (host) 9:38:13 PM
Richard, it ain't easy. Respect.
reese 9:38:38 PM
None taken. I've always been partial to No Bones off that album. Freak Scene is def the highlight though.
richard lyons 9:39:36 PM

The new Sprints single is good stuff. Looking forward to a full album one of these days.

Matthew Robinson 9:48:16 PM
Really looking so hard for that lusine track..
Matthew Robinson 9:48:48 PM
It had such a nice chill *beep boop* kinda loop
Matthew Robinson 9:49:27 PM
It was the song you had playing talking about playing boards of Canada feeding your baby (which is obv a great idea)
Mike Lupica (host) 9:50:32 PM
I think it might be called "Still Frame"?
reese 9:51:26 PM
It's called Literary Mind. Just appeared on Bandcamp today.
Matthew Robinson 9:51:37 PM
Yes!!!!! The remix!!! 🤌🤌🤌🤌
Mike Lupica (host) 9:51:46 PM
Reese, look for it here next week!
Mike Lupica (host) 9:51:55 PM
Matthew, glad you found it!

I don't think I ever listened to them, but I think my wife has some CDs by them in deep storage?
DSM 10:06:01 PM

Mike Lupica (host) 10:48:28 PM
OK, thx. I think this repress I have has some mastering problems that only manifest when they are forced through FM processing.
