the exceedingly rare nighttime Dan Ruccia

Hey look, soon tomorrow will be an octopus. I'm filling in tonight at the last minute! And totally winging it! Let me know if there's something you want to hear as we get ready for the clock to turn to Tuesday!

Exceedingly rare, indeed. Excited to be here, though!

I want to hear real cephalopod jams

I think Venetian Snares has like 7000 tentacles, so I think that counts

Acceptable! Big love to Paolo by the way <3

Great opening track! Cheers, DJ DanRuccia!

Awesome nes game sounds, sounding like Megaman

that song was glitch/breakcore

Hey MrM and Ossy!

Unbelievable JAMS!

duran duran <3

Awww Hellz Yeeaahh!

Keeping things early 80s pop weird cuz why not

its cozy!

Totally Tubular To The MAX!

Game retro!

Apparently they were allowed to have synthesizers in Australia in the 70s

UNWOUND 🖤

RADIOHEAD 🧡

this is most excellent

I so want to know what this sample is

Fun COVER!

The whole record is great like that. Vaguely bossa covers of early 80s punk/new wave

https://www.discogs.com/release/451707-Nouvelle-Vague-Nouvelle-Vague

Whut

Oh snap. Track it down and prepare to have your mind blown

Amazing! Continue to be Very Thankful for DJ DanRuccia! Cheers!!

Loved that Nouvelle Vague song. Thanks Dan..

oh this is excellent

Glad to hear it, Gautham!

TAndy, researching the show for 11/2 has been so immensely fun. Definitely wouldn't have found this one otherwise

I'll hope I can remember to have it recording while I'm asleep!

I think Kool and The Gang

I'll also remember to post it to mixcloud 😉

Oh, and it'll also rebroadcast the following Sunday night/Monday morning, too

Hey Dan, also want to thank you for playing this song used in my all time fave TV show Lodge 49. If you haven’t seen the show strongly recommended to you and everyone in the chat. The song was The Soundcarriers Waves Wilds Phosphonic 202

I did not know you used Mixcloud too!

@Gautham !! Finally, someone else who watched Lodge 49!

@TAndy, https://www.mixcloud.com/druccia/

@Gautham: love me some Soundcarriers. Can definitely throw that on in a bit

Will have to check out Lodge 49!

It was an (unfortunately short lived) AMC show. It may be on Hulu, or their website.

Looks like it's on Hulu. Adding it to the list

Excellent!

It stars Wyatt Russell and Brent Jennings

That show has Windom Earle?!? ♟😈

I was secretly hoping you’d play the song, Thanks Dan. Checkout lodge 49 and thanks me later :)

@TAndy, yep if you love lodge 49 check out the creator Jim Gavin’s short stories book called Middle Men. You will have a blast.

Thanks for the rec!

Hi everyone! I am not usually up this late but glad I am because the playlist is so good tonight!!! Thanks Dan!

Hey Parrscream! Glad you're enjoying! I'm also not normally up this late

I shall probably be going to sleep soon after the show's end

Yea, you're usually on at a different time, right Dan? Like afternoon during the week??? Regardless, I am so glad to hear these songs and chat with you on the board on an occasion that I am not normally able to!

Yeah, normally Wednesdays noon-3 (rebroadcast Sunday/monday at midnight)

That's it! On my lunch break during one of the two days I have to be in the office. I usually try to stretch my lunch "hour" into a longer hour on Wednesdays. ;-)

DJ Shadow <3

Kites are indeed fun

this record is HOT

Haven't gotten past this single yet, but I'm excited to

Indeed!

NENEH CHERRY 💝

Speaking of songs that are blazing

🍒🔥

BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS 💟

KRS-ONE ❤️‍🔥

Raps for the 70s, 80s, and 90s

(and beyond and beyond and beyond)

Hell ya

Whüa! HÜSKER DÜ‼️

This gets me so hyped up

hope to be awake in time again for lost in time & sludge again tomorrow

BATTLES 💙

DJ DanRuccia! LIVE Show Pro! Job well done! ✅💯 Many thanks! Big cheers! Kind regards to you!

Thanks for staying up with me y'all! This has been a total blast. There's something fun about just kinda throwing a show together and seeing what sticks

Great night Dan, cool sounds!

Thank for the jamz

thanks for the tunes tonight, see ya around!
