hi hello

Hi, Commie. My first thought was Lady Godiva's Operation, from White Light, White Heat.

oh yeah i was considering that one! very appropriate for sure

Hello Commie, Marcus, and everyone to come

Hi Rob!

Wow, the show time is changing. We'll try to listen at the new time but that's unfortunately not the best time. :-(

Also, is the new schedule posted anywhere yet?

I don't think so. Possibly if you go into future weeks on the website but I haven't checked

it starts wednesday i think

I've gone into future weeks on the website and basically Wednesday and beyond is blank.

it's just an empty void of afternoon uneasy listenings

I am uneasy looking at the future

What will your two-hour show be like? All theme, or something else?

I adore John Cale. Lou had his good points too.

all theme although i'll have to do new music spotlight or something to stay compliant if i can't find songs that are on theme!

there goes lou now

The Fall!

i almost played this one on my smells show!

an odor resembling hot dogs-a!

featuring the bassline from... tonight i'm gonna rock you tonight by spinal tap

🌭 👃

Spinal Tap were so influential!

i always wonder if anyone told them, it's kind of an obscure fall fact but they're don't deny it

What movie is that gif from? My parents probably shielded me from it as a child.

it's from garth marenghi's darkplace, it's actually only about 20 years old

They’re very protective

Anyone else hear Hank Wood in Civic?

i can certainly see that!

It’s obvious

my dad just texted me about his best friend playing him white light/white heat in his dorm room

Hard to imagine hearing that as something new like that. Must’ve been so cool

yeah it's pretty weird on the velvet underground scale too!

that same friend listens to my show, researches the bands and emails me facts about them every month or 2

As well he should!

this one's for you Dad!

Thank you!

Hi Commy!

hi Ossy! I was expecting you to pop up for dr. octagon!

Hiya Commie!

Oh ffs, Tom Verlane now? Not a good month for musical heros.

he is, just happened today i believe :(

Nutzo times

Thanks for some loony tunes tonight. 2-4pm Sundays sounds unnatural though.

i feel weird about it but i may love it! i'm just used to saturday nights. i'll be glad to be able to go to and play shows without having to skip my radio show!

and i'm going to england in may and i can do my show from there!

Oh well if it's a sorta win. win thing, that's cool then.

I can think of a million reasons to listen to a Television tune, but in memoriam just is not one of them. Glad to hear anything from Marquee Moon though.

there will definitely be some marquee moon!

Oh damn this is first I'm hearing of TV's passing :(

Yeah jimboo, another shocker. Makes me want to go smash a guitar in front of CBGB's.

you mean in front of john varvatos :(

if that's even what's there now

This was another great show Commie. Good luck in your new time slot! And goodnight everyone.

good night rob! hope to catch you on occasional sunday afternoons!

I remember it for the dive it was back in the day. :)

G'nite Rob

btw richard lloyd pointed out in youtube that he's the one soloing on this haha

A bit late, but Garth marenghi's darkplace was the first time I ever saw Matt Berry.

This is sublimely distorted

it is wild how good it sounds, i don't think it was intended for release

When the board guy is colorblind.

wait this isn't from his first solo album, where is my brain

Elevation has always been such a magical song. Nice to hear it tonight.

i thought for a long time they were saying "television" not elevation

it still sounds like that to me

but yeah it's one of my favorites by them!

Me too! lol

That’s like my husband thinking the R.E.M. song “Catapult” was “Caribou”, despite being called “Catapult”.

imagine writing this song, they must have been so excited

hahah mary

i mean this song is called elevation! so i feel him

It’s not hard to hear “television” instead of “elevation” though!

oops haha. i can't even hear it when i try!

anyway i don't blame tom verlaine for being fussy about his guitar tone, because his guitar tone was amazing

A friend of mine saw Tom Verlane play here in Philly back in the 80's and it was just Verlane, a guitar and an amp. No backup band, no frills. Wish I went to that one.

God, that must’ve been great.

Verlane put out a solo album back around 2000 I bought that was just out-takes of him noodling cool riffs. I sadly left it in Washington when I came back east. sigh...

Was that deejay maria t?

Indeed. Thank you Commmmmmmieeee 📺💔

Whhhhuut...new slot???

Thanks Commie!

yep lazy sunday afternoons!

Hmmm...my Sundays overflow with action

Thank you for the Verlaine set!

thanks for listening Mary! even though the reason is a bummer

thanks everyone!

Why did Princeton Broadcasting Services consult me on this radical schedule change?

*not*
