Greetings Octopudlians!
richard lyons 12:05:39 PM
Hello Dan! Nice song to start with:)
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:07:32 PM
Hi Richard!
Jon Solomon 12:11:58 PM
What's good, chat?
richard lyons 12:12:10 PM
Looks like Autonoesis is name your price!
richard lyons 12:12:30 PM
Hi Jon:)
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:12:36 PM
Hey Jon!
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:13:01 PM
@Richard: Definitely worth throwing some dollars at. This album is so deliriously fun
Mike Tropiano 12:17:34 PM
A most propitious start to the broadcast, I must say.
the_dude 12:19:27 PM
Some killer stuff , glad I get to tune in!
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:19:50 PM
Thanks, Mike and the_dude! We're running through walls for this first set
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:23:47 PM
(And I'm frankly a little peeved that I have to sit through a slow work meeting rather than listening in to it)
Mike Tropiano 12:28:00 PM
You have my sympathy and condolences, Pribably feels like you're at a funeral, rather than being driven to run through walls. I'm bouncing around a chair in front of a computer in an open office, trying not to be too much of a spectacle.
Mike Tropiano 12:33:24 PM
This first set is a speeding brick wall.
Francis 12:34:31 PM
Wow - yeah - I liked that Chat Pile song. They're getting added to my playlist
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:37:03 PM
Glad the meeting ended just in time for Joel R.L. Phelps, though
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:49:32 PM
Here's that article on Norwegian black metal: https://theshfl.com/guide/norwegian-black-metal
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:52:26 PM
And here's a great Pitchfork Sunday Review article on this Tony Williams album: https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/the-tony-williams-lifetime-emergency/
Jon Solomon 1:04:48 PM
Just saw that Van Conner from Screaming Trees has died.

Jon Solomon 1:15:16 PM
Yeah. Terrible.
Dan Ruccia (host) 1:16:58 PM
Ugh. Terrible news
Brian D 1:20:22 PM
Eleven.. i think
Brian D 1:22:27 PM
Sedated!
Brian D 1:23:05 PM
First heard this on... you know what radio station...
Brian D 1:23:48 PM
Reissue? Must have been 20 years ago ....
Dan Ruccia (host) 1:24:15 PM
Yeah, I think it just showed up Bandcamp a few years ago
Brian D 1:26:21 PM
Good segue there!
Brian D 1:52:30 PM
Said it before but wow this new Tengo is a welcome time machine trip
Dan Ruccia (host) 1:53:40 PM
Definitely feels like their late 90s/early 00s stuff, in a good way
richard lyons 1:56:31 PM
THE CHILLS! YAY! fa fa fa faaa
Brian D 2:12:44 PM
And David Bowie was a big fan of Scott W i think
Francis 2:26:16 PM
OK - you're making the people at work think I'm crazy with this going on, and I'm the new guy here
Francis 2:26:26 PM
lol - they will fear me
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:28:16 PM
lol Francis! Just doing my part to help with the good first impression!
Jon Solomon 2:33:58 PM
Gonna need a "they will fear me" sign for my desk.
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:34:54 PM
Just keep this song on repeat, it'll have the same effect
Jon Solomon 2:49:09 PM
This Daddy's Boy record is a treat.
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:49:23 PM
Truth!
Jon Solomon 2:49:31 PM
Not enough clean for radio songs, but whatchagonnado?
Jon Solomon 2:50:43 PM
Their drummer is also the person behind Hex-mas Enduction Hour.
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:51:03 PM
Really?? Amazing!
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:52:12 PM
I know their lead singer is JJ Skolink from Bandcamp Daily
Jon Solomon 2:52:42 PM
Yep. It is JJ, Brian from Fake Limbs, friend of WPRB Neal Markowski and a fourth person I will now look up...
Brian D 2:53:02 PM
Morbo lp title = "Who Should We Blame? " nice
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:53:20 PM
Jon Strasheim?
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:53:28 PM
Oh cool, Brian
Jon Solomon 2:53:46 PM
Jon Strasheim. Not sure what else they've done (if anything).
Mike Tropiano 2:56:48 PM
Didn't anticipate being able to listen today but so happy it came to pass. Kickin' show! Thanks so much.
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:59:27 PM
Glad you were able to join us, Mike!
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:59:59 PM
And everyone else, too! I believe next week is going to be my last in this show time since the schedule is turning over 2/1
richard lyons 3:00:05 PM
Great show! Thanks!
