jimbeaux 8:07:52 PM
Hope the guest discusses a denim Winger or other hair metal jacket
Mary Jones 8:08:24 PM
As someone with a history panic attacks, I have some *thoughts* about classifying reactions to the predations of Late Capitalism as “anxiety”.

Mike Lupica (host) 8:21:20 PM
If I played guitar (I don't), I think I would just bring this Dandy Warhols album to the music store and say: "I want it to sound like THIS"

Seeing a number of reports that drummer Anton Fier passed away.
Mike Lupica (host) 8:47:55 PM
Whoa. Feelies, Golden Palominos... wasn't he in the Mirrors for a bit, too?
Chris Mohr 8:47:56 PM
Yes, I just saw that former WPRB DJ Marc "DuSade" Fagel tweeted that.
Mike Lupica (host) 8:49:07 PM
Axshully, according to the internet, he was in the Styrenes and the Electric Eels.

Rob from Maryland 🌻 🇺🇦 🦀 8:58:26 PM
This is a good song
Mike Lupica (host) 8:58:45 PM
Great video, too, Supreme 70s decor on full display!
Jon Solomon 8:58:53 PM
Some of the other songs on this record are really really lyrically strong.
Jon Solomon 8:59:09 PM
To the point that I took notice.
Ambrose Hughes 9:00:00 PM
@Jon, notice noted!
jimbeaux 9:01:25 PM
Damn, that is one extensive discography, Anton.
Mike Lupica (host) 9:02:39 PM
Easier to list the bands he WASN'T in.
Mike Lupica (host) 9:06:18 PM
Driving back from Jersey City last night with this Lava La Rue record cranked up / windows down was a glorious experience. Every song on this is killer. Or as TAndy oftenputs it, JAM ALERT.
Mike Lupica (host) 9:12:51 PM
APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES UNTIL TONIGHT'S SPECIAL GUEST JOINS ME FOR VERY IMPORTANT DISCUSSIONS.

Commie Francis 9:29:48 PM
i am working on mine own show but i'll make sure to tune in by hair metal o'clock
Commie Francis 9:30:31 PM
maybe mike already said this but my favorite hasil adkins fact(?) is that he played everything himself all at once because he just thought that's how all music was made
Mike Lupica (host) 9:30:46 PM
He's not wrong, you know.
jimbeaux 9:32:00 PM
Ha! Remember taping RFTC at the Khyber in Philly. Still have it somewhere!
Mike Lupica (host) 9:33:03 PM
Only saw 'em once... New Years Eve 1993 (maybe?) at Maxwell's with the Swingin' Neckbreakers. Great night!
jimbeaux 9:34:22 PM
Think this was with Grifters around that time. Fun!
Mike Lupica (host) 9:35:26 PM
I somehow never saw the Grifters. I feel as though this earns me a recognition dinner of shame.
Christine 9:35:45 PM
This whole playlist is a kick in the 👁. And I mean that in a good way. Plus, that song has a killer bassline.
Christine 9:36:04 PM
Hey DJ Mike! Hi all 👋
Ossy Hyouka 9:36:39 PM
Hi Christine!

Jon Solomon 9:38:42 PM
Never made that connection before.
Mike Lupica (host) 9:49:17 PM
Please now bask in the music of SIGH, who combine all available genres into every one of their songs.
Christine 9:50:52 PM

Mike Lupica (host) 9:55:34 PM
In literature, this song is what we call "foreshadowing"

I would throw out all of death metal to preserve the scorpions discography
TAndy 10:16:18 PM
oooh that peaking
Ossy Hyouka 10:17:18 PM
Flex and Ahab metal!
Commie Francis ☭ 10:17:37 PM
I wouldn't consider the scorpions to be hair metal but I'd trade death metal for them too

Not a Ronnie Dio-era Sabbath track after that? Humph!
Mike Lupica (host) 10:41:28 PM
I played "Neon Knights" two weeks ago, Chris!
Chris Mohr 10:41:52 PM
Oops, I was not in the Pit Crew that evening. Sorry, DJ Mike!
Chris Mohr 10:42:30 PM
(The "dinner table conversation" was entertaining, by the way.)
Mike Lupica (host) 10:44:29 PM
Perhaps not surprisingly, our 12 y/o daughter thinks we are giant dorks.

Commie Francis ☭ 10:45:58 PM
That is how 12 year olds should always feel about their parents
Mike Lupica (host) 10:46:02 PM
Catching up on comments... I love the weird Scorpions tracks that are all proggy. "Sails of Charon" is an eternal fave
Commie Francis ☭ 10:46:19 PM
Yeah it's always awesome when Alex is on!
Chris Mohr 10:47:46 PM
As Andrew said earlier, "Wednesdorks."
