Welcome to Recherché, Righteous listeners!

Hi Readie, how are you?

I'm ready, Readie!

Hi Matt! Long time no see! How are you, I'm well, thanks!

I dug the space jams.

Howdy Readie! Matt and Mark!

Same on those space jams

Hi Mark- Yeah, thanks- that was actual radio waves from the cosmos translated to audible sounds!

hi Mark, hi-hi DSM!

Hi DSM!

How are y'all doin'?

I believe I read that Neu's Hero directly influenced Bowie's Heros (fun fact)

blissful track RR! *magical*~doin better now that I'm here~~~~keeping those positive waves going~~~~~~

Heyyyy Readie!!! Thank You God there's a DJ to help me....SHAKE....OFFF.....THE....WEEK!!!

Yes, DSm- you're right!

Doing well thanks! Happy to be back home with a cold beer and Readie on the radio.

Shake that stanky old week off Alan!

Hi Alan - Glad to be here to help with that!!

Yeah baby!

Sounds like a good combo, DSM!

@ Readie: It was a great start with the "Sidereal Breath" as an opener!!

Will do, Matt...glad you liked that track!

I knew you would dig it, @Alan - turns out Dr. Brian May is not our only astrophysicist-musician!

@Readie: My instincts tell me that I'm really going to like where you're headed with this show....Kraftwerke...Bowie!!

Ah, yes, Alan...lol!

Love the "80s High Tech" vibe. Like this seemed so cutting edge and futuristic--how fast a computer could dial a phone!

What up Matt?

Thomas Dolby is guesting on a track on the new Todd Rundgren (!) album.

@Mark, I did not know that!

wick'd remix ~~~~doing good Mark : )

I've heard it, it's pretty good.

supposed to see TR and Belew in BowieCeleb @Mahwah

Wondering what the new Rundgren is called, Mark?

more cowbell

@Matt- happening in Mahwah, eh?

@Matt-lol!

...tidied up.... can't find anything... including the chat...

Hey Brian D! Glad you found us!!!!!!

friend from Santa Fe called me said he missed like 3 chances for cities out West " we gotta go"

check ur pockets BrianD

Always know the secret knock on the side entrance. All good.

Hi Brian, Had the same problem here, I couldn't find an important document until I went to make Pizza!!

Mahwah's on NJ Transit, yes?

Happy Wide Wonderful World of Recherche in Halloween season

Headed down to Ocean Grove tomorrow!

Hi Ossy! Great to see ya!

OG should be crisp and sunny tomorrow, Bri!

So Retro-che, Readie!

Great stuff coming from Dr. Terenzi tonight..

da~yum Readie brillant find this.

hi Alan!

It goes from the visual to the musical...

hi hi Ossy

Hi Matt!!

Glad yu dig it, Matt! Dolby & the astrophysicist!

@RR yes, Main-Bergen County Line

Hello Matt

The Todd Rundgren/Thomas Dolby track is called "I'm Not Your Dog"

Hi Readie & friends! Please help me on this: I was dang-near certain there was a Weird Al Yankovic takeoff on "She Blinded Me with Science" that was the angry lament of a woman against her boyfriend's thoroughly non-romantic gifts titled "He Bought Me an Appliance!" ("And last birthday it was the Pocket Fisherman!") But just googling, I couldn't find it. Maybe it was by a Weird Al wannabe? Or did I dream this brilliant concept, which will now be ripped off by some fellow Righteous One? HELP!

Thx, Mark - I'll check it out!

@Richard - I'm not familiar - anyone know?

Richard, maybe an old advert for P.C. Richard & Son?

havent heard LL in years "lucky number" oweh oh! thank RR

I do know I don't care for appliance gifts....lol

@Matthew - she just happens to have collabed with Dolby!

royalties on default ringtones! wow

@Matthew Maginley Liz Bot plays Lene Lovich occasionally on their show DoublePlusGood. Thursdays 5-8pm

SCIENCE!! Happy birthday Thomas Dolby. Glad to know you’re still out there reducing hiss.

@ DSM: No, not an ad. And I do recall a music video with the male singer's voice under a closeup of the distraught woman mouthing the words about "the Pocket Fisherman" and (I think) "the Cuisinart" ...

Ken Nordine! Flibbidy-jib-bop-a-bippity-bop. How are things in your town?

hi ShutUpWesley, thanks I will check out Liz Bot

Hey Readie! I found the side entrance for the chat :)

@Wesley- Hi! Yes, Lizbot's show is awesome- my radio sister!!!!

Lizbot has a parrot named "Fripp"..

Hi TAndy! Yes! glad yu found us!

aw hell no~~~about as menacing as lip stick and fishnets~~~~it's HOT! Berlin Style

@Alan- yes, I am aware of the lovely Fripp!

@Matthew! Yes, not menacing at all - I agree, it's actually very hopeful, back 45 years ago - Bowie was the visionary and peop;e were a bit taken aback!

hi TAndy~~

Hi there

Readie Righteous (host) Thanks for all the Thom Dolby career info & trivia. I had no idea he composed "New Toy," so memorably realized by Lene Lovich.

@Richard - you are welcome....and your question remains a mystery for now!

@ Readie Righteous (host) If I can perform the golden google or the sterling search that unblinds me, I'll definitely let you know!

This Bowie def fits in with the SPOOKY SEASON!

@Richard- please do let me know! Then again, it may have been an elaborate, lucid dream!!

(They are the best dreams)

Ooh love this

Great Spoooky Music..

@ Readie Righteous (host) (True, true. I never thought I really had them, but maybe ...)

@Alan - Bowie and Eno, of course!!

@ Readie: What a combination!

@Richard - I try to remember dreams...in native American culture, there are times in the morning when they sit in a circle and relate their dreams....

The Brian Eno ideas are great on paper (ha ha)

@ Readie: So it's back to Dr.Terenzia taking visual astronomy and put to music, kinda like the opposite of "Synesthesia" which is hearing music and seeing images, any comment??? Is there a word for that??

Cute

BTW Love this Glass..

@Brian D! Oh no! are you giving ENo the side-eye?!?!? LOL!

I think synesthesia includes a possible mix of any senses. Smelling colors, tasting sounds, hearing textures/touch

@Alan, Dr. T calls it "Acoustic Astronomy"

Sounds like something quite off from Nightmare Before Christmas

David could give Eno 2 diff color side eyes. Talented cat that

What Great Music, never heard this!!

@Brian- funny! actually, Bowie didn't have 2 different color eyes - he suffered an injury which caused the effect (fight over a girl in grammar school)

Yes read that in the bio

@Ossy- sure does!!

Ought to read that one again.

Did you read the Pegg bio, Brian D??

First part of the main melody reminds me of "The letter" from Eugene Onegin by Tchaikovsky

This is very Glass sounding yes. Very nice.

@Matt- you are our classical interpreter tonight, thanks!

Saw that 1993 movie last night on the Freeform channel, Readie! Cute scary movie!

Just 5 Sec. into the track i recognized his "hand"..

Dat hair

Yes pretty sure the main one I read was the Pegg book. And some others that were more song by song album by album instead of full life bio

Yep checked the ebook files.. definitely Pegg. Good read

I will def have to check that one out!

@Ossy- I will check that movie, thanks for the tip!

@TAndy ALL hail the hair of the 80's

In the Name of Love! This was playing on the jukebox back when I was playing bass in bands in places like the Khyber Pass and the North Star!

Cool, Wesley- good times!

BTW I incorrectly identified Lizbot's pet as a parrot, actually Fripp is a "Crimson Bellied Conure"....Sorry Liz!!

...and coming up, Dancing Conure music!!

AHHH, I kinda thought it wasn't a parrot- cool! A crimson-bellied conure! I would love to see Fripp dance to these 80's gems!

@Readie Righteous Yes, Bowie had one pupil that was permanently dilated. Not a different color iris.

Ms Bot posts pics of her birdies on FB occasionally. Fripp is very cute! And apparently loves her hubby George K.

Woofer Time!..

cranking up the cans!

Yeooooo RRRRRReadie!

HEYYYYYY JimBEAUXXXXXXX!

Pet Shop Boys! I’ve often thought it ironic that as someone who has been playing traditional folk music for years now, I still have a warm place in my heart for 80s Synth Pop… beep beep boop boop.

Back in '86 PC's new on the scene, synthe music in this background...Nice...

Had to get to chat thru calendar for some reason...???

????

Whoops. Thanks for the show RR!

Thx y'all!

Jimbeaux Ok on Win 10 here chat..

And yes Jimbeaux it seems someone set their show to the wrong calendar date, it happens sometimes.

Great show Readie!

great show Readie thanks!

Xenfoyel show was landing page...
