Good morning radio people! Thanks for the lovely set Krista :)

Ahoy

A fine start.... could hear this all day

Morning!

dododododo do blee do blee

Mornin everyone! I can definitely listen to that all day too Brian

Just when I thought was a nap was a thing but is now untenable! Okay, fine.

Yushh this is really good. Not sure if I can make it through the second hour I'm tired as heck

The show will always live on in the archive! flatcircleradio.org ;)

And the Saturday night reruns ;)

The stacks!

This is of course true! Saturday nights (early sunday morning) 1-3 am ;)

Nice song. Just give a few chords and some good people! Lovely!

Gettin in a groove and ridin it!

Fuck yeh!

What’s up Pup?! Missed last week but happy for the circle returning.

Howdy Dub! The Circle always returns

Mum's the word

The circle remains unbroken. :)

💪

I was in a Mummer's parade and a friend of mine shouted that out. I love this world.

Mummer’s the word

Shush!

Large group of intoxicated adults whispering and using their indoor voices

Though a south philly indoor voice could still be heard across a department store

Secrets are lovely! Whispers...

Also, I could never drop on time with a crash symbol. I was rather drunk. lol

It’s a skill to hone, Mumming is an extreme sport

Tis!

Almost at the halfway point! Thanks for tuning in :)

doing one of those bird mating dances to this

can recommend

Thanks Pup! Love biding my time here. Good stuff.

Doin a bird bop! Love it. Also, Go Birds ;)

'skobirds

Eagles on the go.What happens next is interesting.

I'm about a 10 minute walk from Broad St, should be an interesting night

Not going there, I am up on Spruce Street a bit, I don't go there almost ever. lol.

I do eBike it though.

Oh I've heard those things are fun to ride around, my coworker has one of those and brings the battery inside to charge

GETA

What if Vegeta's name was pronounced like bruschetta

It's a game changer! Get one if you can. So fun. I do the The Schuylkill River Trail and it's fantastic at night. Vegeta is a boss!

Mornin' Pup! Good 🎶

Thanks Ambrose! Mornin :)

Phoo-gjhee-tuh

Yo ambrose

I work up at Temple and live all the way down by the stadiums so having a battery to help boost the bike ride could be very nice

Yo la TAndy!

High five for Ambrose on that one

TAndy you don't happen to be from Hoboken? That would make the Yo La TAndy even richer

I spent two months just north of Temple. Never again! OMG! I live in the University area now, never going back there! Holy shit that place is crazy!

Definitely not for everyone haha, not the most fun commute

My only exposure to Hoboken was passing thru on NJ transit I think

True, the Broad Street Line is nutzo too. Not for me as tall white dude for sure.

Ahh too bad, actually I haven't been to Hoboken either haha only Jersey City in that area

I get on the train around the stadiums so I at least get relatively good choice of seating cause the train's empty

But the ride home is a bit more wild

I had a friend in West New York over in Jersey, fuck that too!

Yeah I'm just over 6 ft so I have to do a lot of shrinking to try to take up as little space as possible

I was just up in North Jersey a couple of days ago, beautiful beautiful up there in Union but too damn crowded.

I was born in Union! Technically Union township, Union county.. so Union, Union NJ

All my Jewish girlfriends were from Union! I loved that place for a good reason!

Half their moms knew Jerry Lewis!

Interesting connection haha, as a Jew myself I didn't know too many others up there, but then again we moved out of Union when I was pretty young

I had forgotten how steep the hills were though, can't imagine having been stuck in traffic back in the days of carbed engines with a 4 speed manual and 100 horsepower

I wish we were able to have Kei trucks near cities, speaking of the tinier cars

I'd drive one around Philly in a heartbeat

I'd love one but the seats are too tiny for someone like me lolol

I wish Subaru made one for the US, that would be so cool

I'd drive an autozam or a beat if I could

And not just bringing back the Baja, gotta go full Kei truck

Brilliant sounds!!

See! Jew as fuck! Me too! My folks were Jersey City. we moved a bit too.

An autozam would also be really fun

The closest thing to KEI cars we had here were the Scion xD/xA, iQ, Mitsubishi Mirage, and the Toyota Yaris hatch.

Most of my German family landed in Newark in the 30's, so that area in North Jersey definitely has a strong community

Beautiful!

Maybe not anymore, I'm not sure. Almost 100 years later at this point so I'm sure it's changed with time, as all things do

Thanks Brian and Ossy!

Kenyan maybe acc to some search results?

The guitar had me thinking West Africa at first but... there's something just a bit different

Impressive ear Brian they are indeed from Kenya!

Totally African picks there.

Very similar to the Sao Tome & Principe sound of gtr

Wayyyy on the other side of continent

Interesting! Always love learning new stuff

Yeah this is now Morocco I believe

Oh Google told me Kenya but yeah.. the rhythm was a bit diff than W Africa

And now we have semi tones. What's not to love.

In the Tonal Zonal

Maybe Mauritania here due to their name but yeah.. neighbors

Africa is really big.

Indeed it is, quite a big world out there. That's why we all need to live with open minds/hearts, gotta leave room to fill in blind spots and learn new things!

I grabbed something from them on Bandcamp. Yes definitely from country of Mauritania.

Nice thanks for that follow up Brian, always good to have an intel guy on board

Had not listened to that in a while. Good stuff. Black n white pic on lp art of singer. Titled after the band name but using French "Mauritanie"

With all of my research capabilities I will always come short in some areas, like trying to track down a Gengar Squishmallow

This'n .... https://lorchestrenationaldemauritanie.bandcamp.com/album/lorchestre-national-de-mauritanie

The world has been reduced to a Google. Crazy as fuck!

Ohhh lovely! I'm not familiar with this release, stoked to check it out

And Google's now introducing their ChatGPT competitor... can only wonder what it will do with all of that data to source from

I'm gonna teach it to say bad words

Noooo TAndy haha

Teach it to nooooot say bad words

I love my algorithm I guess? Dunno know. Hope so.

unless by bad words you mean synonyms for "bad"

Malevolent, pernicious, unbecoming - those are acceptable bad words

I'm gonna make it say something the BBC would bleep out when someone asks for the WPRB listener lounge

I decided to get a Gengar Squishmallow from ebay, I caved. Will make for a good valentine's day gift for my wife (no one tell them)

Just beat me with a Thesaurus while you're at it why dont'cha! lol

Today I learned that Gengar Squishmallows exist STOP EMPTYING MY WALLET

The Wallet Emptying Hour with DJ Pup

If it's not music it's trendy dolls

I just grab you by the feet and shake you upside down for two hours and collect the coins that fall

I keep an airport found Shekel in my pocket so that's all you'll get

Robber!

Shake It like Wario wii 2018 game

hahaha Ossy yesss

And the return of pirate Captain Syrup, as well 💜❤

Thanks for the show DJ Pup

Have a nice ass day Pup. Thanks for stuff.

Read some more about Orch Nat. Maur. there. It was a family band and one reviewer/ commenter stated the lead singer on that lp from that family was a young boy at the time. And that the family name was Ahl Nana.

"Be good to yourselves and each other!" - Readie Righteous :)

Pretty piece here.

I have that place in my heart for Readie. Good stuff for sure.

Be good to your smells, LOOOL

A nose knows!

Thanks Pup!
