evening folks - special episode tonight!

Special Dana K😉

whether i'm a cereal or a horse tranquilizer can be up to you

Neither! But you are a damn good DJ!🙌

Very cool sounding dive Dana.

Yay! Friday again!! Hi all!

hello fine donors!

I swear, I really want to find every genre listing you clever DJ's put in your weekly show thesis's and put them on a T-shirt. :)

I would consider buying said shirt

Sounded like African Black Panther 2 themed music, Dana Bash: The Front.

most of those genres would be from lupica's description of his show

That is certainly the first well to go to.

Somewhere Christopher Walken is smiling.

All these skronky saxy sounds are making me so happy!!!

embrace the SKRONK!

Nice! Looking forward to it!

bass jams🚨

THIS

Excellent soundtrack to watching some Bol Bol bball

during the erasers song, i heard the background vocal yelling and stuff, but for a for a second there i had a, who is in my apartment?!?!

😍this❤

Bol <3

bo! y pants is keeping it in the pocket!🤣

colin, you'd better check every room to be safe

@Colin, 😝 doin' the boxer beat!

exactly, ya know, y pants?

🤔🙈

it's not friday night till somebody breaks out the saxophone!

i'm glad my show is known as the saxophone show

Y not pants? Practically made for human legs.

🎷

honk, skronk

Damn this is SO GOOD!

Like the Minutewomen!

Why aren't these folks famous?

they only put out one single! but apparently they got back together and put something out back in 2019

jim, 🤣 "Practically"

Ahhh!

I am HERE for this show

Jen played 8 Eyed Spy with Lydia Lunch this morning

hell yeah

i've got some more of her if i have the time

funky fuckin fresh

This specialty show has delivered an extra helping of heavy bass and saxophone bangers!

🎷🎷🎷💥🍖💥

Oops that meat emoji was an error

bbq sax

who don't want bbq sax!

@jimbeaux🔥🎷

Just don't get sauce in the valves

😝😝😝🤔

meat sax

me: ten minutes ago: i had a real big dinner,, not gonna eat till late tomorrow afternoon. @jimb drops a meatmoji in the chat and i now have little bbq piles dancing in my head.

MEATMOJI

Ravioli break everyone! Please get your ravioli

i already had it!

this track is already beyond fantastic!

Oh no. What will you have on the ravioli break if you have no ravioli?! Tell one of the cats to go get you some dumplings from the Chinese store

i'm going to have some disco

F f f f funky

Dip it in the disco sauce🪩

they're singing about your show yoni

TALK OF THE TOWN

please put this show on mixcloud before the end of the month!!!

TOO MANY CREEPS!

ahhh unfortunately i'm not recording it

boooooooooo

OH NO

i have to get back into the habit!

Hi Dana (and Commie). It would be nice to listen to this show again :-(

i apologize :(

you must instead live in the moment!

i can't listen tonight, i just came to look at the playlist

I'll take the playlist and find these songs on YouTube

i trust you can find a lot of these

yeah i can probably recreate it!

also, i basically just took all of erika's suggestions

in any case it looks great and i wish i could listen!

erika is the expert!

Good show so far, sorry not really chatting much tonight I'm exhausted from work last night still.

totally understandable, i appreciate you listening!

damn. this is wild!

when i was a kid and i heard blop blep synth like this i always thought robots on background vocals.

Not for nothin but I happen to be recording the show at home, assuming the wifi didnt crap out or power gets lost later from the wind. But yeah I'm recording all night till Sangeet in the morning when I go to sleep. Fair to say that my WPRB recordings aren't shared unless someone asks me for them, but mostly just for my personal archive.

and that's why you're a beloved monthly doner kebab

:) Rob and Commie F if you want a link for when I upload the recording to my drive, I'd be more than happy. The data hoarder in me is always happy to share

i feel like tandy just revealed the most secret vault of treasure.

It's not a perfect vault and not EVERYTHING is there but I do what I can. I learned my lesson when I discovered some music podcasts from a decade+ ago are pretty much impossible to find anywhere now :(

I've missed the "is it loud enough" station ID.

Thx TAndy

When I upload it at some point before next Tuesday night I'll let you and CF know in chat so we can exchange emails.

i'm gonna take this 3x3 track home and love it forever

lol, just looked at the album art.

i hung up the wicked cheap halloween led lights i bought a few days ago during this track. they pair perfectly!

it's still halloween?

and the barbaras' track continued the shows tradition of heavy bass!

in one room in my apartment it is always all the holidays.

The vocal delivery on this reminds me a bit of Diamanda Galas

yoni, also with that band apart song, it probably wouldn't take long to find a sample of that whump whump whump synth part in a drum and bass song.

great show tonight dana

thanks!

I haven't listened to that member of 3 Teens Kill 4 band that's playing here soon but I'm sure they're awesome

Thanks for the show, Dana K!

you're very welcome! thanks for listening!

BLOWN the feck away by this show honestly, kudos Dana K!

Super Show 💥💥💥🎷🎷🎷powpowpow toottoottoot

Glad you all enjoyed!

Hope you feel better soon Dana!🤞

i am so tired! goodnight everyone!
