WHAT A SHOW HORSEWATER

Hello, Commie!

hi Richard!

happy Saturday!

Thank goodness!

And to you as well

Bay Shitty Rrrollers (Sean Connery voice)

GASP SEAN HOW DARE YOU

Hello Commie F!

dan buskirk posted a photo of the rollers hanging with the sid & marty krofft puppets

Is 'gate' acceptable ?

coming out strong out of the gate!

a single gate? yes single gates are fine

Good on richard!👍 and Hello!

METAL

Hello, Ambrose!

*one*

i'm about to play 2 singular gate songs

\m/

gates is a VERY metal topic

Is "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" a song you'll maybe back-announce over?

i'm just doing foghorns all night

Seemed so obvious, since I thought of it right away 🤪

someone find me a vashti bunyan song with a gate and i'll play it though! there must be one

So far I've only come up with Devil Gate Drive by Suzy Quattro.

you got it!

Yes! Just watched a great Documentary about her. So wonderful!

🤗

Yeooooo Commie & Crewwwwwww 💥

@richard, I was a young pup when she first graced the screen in my parents house and was instantly hooked.

Yoo jimboo!

YeooooooBo!

So good, Ambrose! Hey, hey Jimboo!!!

Yeeooodleedoo Richard 💥

😍😍😍

Devil Gate Drive!!

and hello to all

And S.O.A.

Hello Rob!

I thought I'd heard every Hank Williams song till now!

Hey, hey Rob!!

Hola, Ambrose/Bo and richard!

Uh oh, I just lost track of the mountain

hi rob, jimbo, bo, jim right now there IS a mountain

schrodinger's mountain

OMG yes 🐱🏔️

Interesting take on a classic🤗

There ain't really no song called "Piper at the Gates of Dawn", is there, Richard Lyons?

Hi Commie! That version of Some Velvet Morning might be the best version I've/we've heard.

nope, David :)

YelllloO Rob!

I saw Philadelphia’s Mondo Topless play “Some Velvet Morning” at Long Branch’s now-demolished Brighton Bar years ago. There was a woman in the band then to sing the Nancy parts. I don’t know who she was or what happened to her.

...and yeooo to David

bill surprised me by learning this on guitar so i can sing it with him!

he just randomly plays it all the time and i'm like schrodinger's dog. i mean pavlov's

@Commie, very nice, YAY Bill!🤗

Evening

@David, I knew some of the members of Mondo Topless and I recall seeing a video of them with said girl or, some girl but ???

Hope all's going well, David and Ossy

@Commie, never heard that Clash song before, thank you for playing it.

yeah i'm not fond of that era of clash but that's a good one!

Same.

thank you commie for the radio shows

thank you for listening!

YAY!

Do you think the Clash were over the hill by 1979, Commie?

well... yes

they had songs still but i don't really even care for london calling as a whole

Canadian Assault

honestly the older i've gotten the less i like the clash altogether. i get that they were important and all! but not really my thing

take THAT canada!

with your fresh water

legit scared of venom rn

so many died in vain HA HA

i have this great book about satanism in rock music from the 80s and it says that venom are LEGITIMATE SATANISTS which is kind of funny cause it also says everyone else in rock music are legitimate satanists. but i guess venom get extra satan points

https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/devils-disciples-the-truth-about-rock-music_jeff-godwin/287696/#edition=2453581&idiq=766129

the cover looks like it's drawn by al jaffee to me

That cover is awesome...is that leap physically possible?

Pass the rnb and hip hop like that DJ Phil on wprb

YeoooOoOssy 💥

jimbo, it is with the assistance of SATAN

Al Jaffee, still with us, will turn 102 on March 13.

Hello Jim!

i was just wondering if he was still alive! amazing!

that was a great set!

thank you! it did seem pretty good from this end haha

Charles Addams (RIP) would be 111 today.

i never really know if i like a show i did until i listen to it

wow only 9 years older than al jaffee!

🤍

💥

RJD!

i am definitely hitting a lot of bill faves today

Thx for all the satan!

gates and satan go together like peas and rice!

btw i've heard the new dio documentary is TOPS

Okay this is epic

TWIST ENDING

systematic death!

going out to Dana K

yeah!!

Is Coven in that book, Commie? They're the only such group that interests me. The singer used the pinkie-index gesture before Ronny James Dio, but later than cartoon John in “Yellow Submarine”.

i don't think so, it's mostly more mainstream classic rock/80s bands. lots of zeppelin and ozzy

You're going to love Ronnie James Dio more than you ever thought that you could love something. More than oxygen, broccoli, or waterfalls.

coven might be mentioned. venom is only mentioned super briefly

let's try that again

All those Satan/metal dudes should credit Steve Ditko for pioneering the pinkie-index gesture.

haha spreading the web of satan

Extra crispy

Unrest did a nice cover of this

good thing because Systematic Death beat the *%$# out of me

i have that unrest record, 100% excellent covers!

You just have to listen to venom live at city garden once to know what legitimate scary satanists they are.

Same! Love it.

🚑

I got that Unrest Factory records covers 7" when I was a teen through the Sub Pop singles club, and I had a vague idea of what Factory Records and I think I knew ESG already was but had certainly never heard of Crawling Chaos or Crispy Ambulance, so it was a good gate way record.

i traded the pist/brutally familiar split to al quint for it!

i also got wire dot-dash single, i think i came out ahead in that trade

yeah, I think so too!

dang. this is good!

The first time I heard of a 5 bar gate (or the adjective “scouse”, for that matter) was in a scene from “A Hard Day’s Night”. GEORGE: “Aye, but don't rush. None of your five bar gate jumps and over sort of stuff.” PAUL: “What's that supposed to mean?” GEORGE: “I don't know, I just thought that it sounded distinguished-like” JOHN: “George Harrison, the Scouse of distinction!”

gate connoisseurs take notice

taking notice of this! new to me!

i've been listening for most of the show, but that final fraction track had me logging in to say yoooooo

...and this...

la fraction rules, so glad they're back! i saw them in... 2003 maybe? they were amazing

Canadian cartoonist Dave Sim invented a hockey-like sport based on that George quote: https://cerebus.fandom.com/wiki/Five-Bar_Gate

yoooocolin!

oooooooooooooo!

listen up to lyrics of this song law makers!!

😳😳😳🤔

La Fraction - name your price!!

great show CF! Thanks!

I’m sorry I missed your New Year’s Day special, Commie. Of the the three comic strip samples depicted on its playlist page, I recognized Cliff Sterrett’s “Polly and Her Pals”. I discovered that strip when Eternity published five monthly stapled 6.625” x 10.25” pamphlets in 1991. Beautifully illustrated stuff!

cheers

Thank youuuuuu Commmmmieee!

Thanks Commie!🙏

bye everybody!!!!!
