Some simple facts: It's Wednesday. Tentacles are engaged. Listener Lounge is open. pledge.wprb.com is open. Are you ready?
Li Maria 12:03:20 PM
Ready!!!
Li Maria 12:04:31 PM
good afternoon, DJ Dan!
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:04:41 PM
Hey Li Maria!
Li Maria 12:08:34 PM
Took a peek at the new member perks--very nice!
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:09:49 PM
Yeah, they're pretty fun this time around. I especially like the weird bubbly monster band logo shirt!
Li Maria 12:19:53 PM
same! and i like the bottle opener idea
Jon Solomon 12:22:00 PM
Dan! Thanks for the indirect reminder to bookmark the latest CAN live LP for future listening...
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:22:15 PM
Is there another new one???
Jon Solomon 12:23:03 PM
https://canofficial.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-cuxhaven-1976
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:23:20 PM
Oh hell yeah
Jon Solomon 12:23:20 PM
(Not a 3xLP behemoth but still curious about it.)
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:23:50 PM
Been on a Can kick of late, so this is perfect
Jon Solomon 12:24:31 PM
Your indirect reminder has now traveled full circle.
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:25:30 PM
Might actually have to get this one on LP, since it's only a single slab of vinyl
Jon Solomon 12:37:31 PM
I wonder how many people have bought Say She She records looking for Say Sue Me and vice versa...
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:42:00 PM
Waiting for the super group Say She Say Sue She Me
Brian 'D' For Donor 12:43:35 PM
Pete Cosey rips! Also on Electric Mud the psych meets blues great Muddy Waters lp w a super group of session players. And Pete really shines on the Miles Davis / Indian music approach tribute lp Miles From India. A great latter era Pete moment. He just tears a hole in the sky (track is Ife where he really lets loose but he is on other tracks)
Jon Solomon 12:44:25 PM
Covering McCartney's Say Say Say + She by The Misfits simultaneously.

Just listened to Can Live in Cuxhaven yesterday. Very nice set there. So glad they dug into the vaults

Dan Ruccia (host) 2:02:02 PM
Yeah, it's a good one. The guitarist is the main guy from laddio bolocko

Hey Christine!
Christine, pledger allegiance 💸 2:09:10 PM
Sounding great..lol love the Four Seasons Lamdscaping reference there 💯
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:10:18 PM
So many fun, sly details in those lyrics
Christine, pledger allegiance 💸 2:11:15 PM
I want to hear that one again. So many references!
Brian 'D' For Donor 2:13:55 PM
Vegetable gremlins?
Richard from Rocky Hill 2:42:31 PM
@Dan Ruccia (host) Can you tell us during mic break about Reevo's "Groove With It", where they sampled the backing music and the spoken (non-rapped) passage? Maybe from a somewhat cheesy but moderately budgeted and seriously produced sci-fi flick(s)? Thanks.
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:46:45 PM
I actually don't know much about the band or what they sampled. I kinda just stumbled across it in putting together the show
Richard from Rocky Hill 2:49:37 PM
@ Dan Ruccia (host) Okay, if I find out anything I'll let you know.
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:50:01 PM
Don't skip step 2 - going to pledge.wprb.com - when skipping steps 1 and 3
Richard from Rocky Hill 2:52:44 PM
@ Dan Ruccia (host) And thanks for playing Superchunk's "Skip Steps 1 & 3." To my ears, it sounds so contemporary I'm astounded it was recorded back in 1991. That makes it a real classic, eh?
Christine, pledger allegiance 💸 2:52:49 PM
Fashion does hurt 👡 👠 🛍 🏧
Richard from Rocky Hill 2:54:38 PM
@ Dan Ruccia (host) HAHA! I'll go straight to Step 2 before Passing Go (but AFTER collecting $200 ...)
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:56:40 PM
Thanks for listening everyone!
Christine, pledger allegiance 💸 2:56:47 PM
Thank you, Dan!

What's the last set break song!!!
Matthew Robinson 2:58:26 PM
Totally missed it if you said it
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:59:52 PM
I didn't say it. Something from Autechre's Incunabula (or maybe a different Autechre album)
Dan Ruccia (host) 3:00:09 PM
Actually, I think it's from Chiastic Slide
Matthew Robinson 3:00:33 PM
Cheers Dan!!
Brian 'D' For Donor 3:02:15 PM
Great one Dan!
