Morning everyone!
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:15:38 AM
House of All is a bunch of former members of the Fall, in case you couldn't tell
Mike Lupica 10:16:08 AM
Top o' the Pops to you, Dan. I was about to say how much I'm enjoying this very Mark E. Smith-like vocal delivery... and then I saw your 2nd comment, which certainly adds context.
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:16:37 AM
Lineup: Si Wolstencroft - drums Paul Hanley - drums Steve Hanley - bass, vocals Pete Greenway - guitar, vocals Martin Bramah - vocals, guitar
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:16:55 AM
Apparently Bramah was the original vocalist for the Fall??
Mike Lupica 10:17:45 AM
As long as my granny on bongos was also involved...
Lee Chandler 10:17:55 AM
If they only added an F.
Mike Lupica 10:17:57 AM
So the saying goes, anyway.
Mike Lupica 10:18:37 AM
House o' Fall (fixed it for you)
Brian D 10:35:46 AM
House of Uckhall. Hee hee
Mike Lupica 10:36:00 AM
Still not fully comprehending the death of Trugoy / Plug 2's death, but what a terrible loss.
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:45:51 AM
Yeah, seriously. And 54 is not particularly old either...
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:47:10 AM
Here's the New Yorker article about Hildegard: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/02/06/hildegard-of-bingen-composes-the-cosmos
Li Maria 10:49:08 AM
The Hildegard Von Bingen compositions are instantly recognizable, even for me, a non-musician
Mike Lupica 10:52:58 AM
Get some instrumental hip-hop beats for that kid!
Li Maria 10:53:24 AM
Great job, Evelyn not assistant!
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:54:24 AM
She was very disappointed she couldn't be here to hear that be broadcast
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:55:23 AM
Also, if you've haven't seen it, the video for this Cecile McLorin Salvant is bonkers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxvhZRtyHV0
Brian D 10:56:12 AM
Had no idea... thought it was another WPRB rarity of Outsider Music finds! Great job Evelyn!

Lee Chandler 11:03:38 AM
Dang. Step away for ten minutes & miss non-assistant Evelyn!
Brian D 11:17:31 AM
Pamela Z pieces are just wow... file under "only on wprb". I keep expecting to hear Ruby or The Android Sisters from the Adventures of Ruby the Intergalactic Gumshoe to pop in at any time... (see DJ # 6 show each week)
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:28:12 AM
Really hoping that playing this on the radio doesn't summon a bunch of conspiracy theorist nutjobs....
Brian D 11:33:25 AM
Q and Not U. Q and no IQ
Krista 11:34:50 AM
*hides my UFO book collection*
Lee Chandler 11:36:36 AM
*knows there was an X-files episode about this.
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:58:00 AM
Man, I feel like we're in such a fun moment for UFO conspiracy stuff. Octagonal floating objects over Lake Huron?!?
Brian D 11:58:04 AM
I hope that electro funk song about ... unidentified flying objects from outer space... pops up on playlists now. Heard on wprb before... can't find in searches tho... 70s or early 80s maybe
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:58:28 AM
It's not Sun Ra's UFO is it?
Brian D 11:58:49 AM
Great show Dan ! Loved the set break music today as well
Brian D 11:59:06 AM
Hmmm not Ra... more cheesy
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:59:17 AM
Hmmm
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:59:55 AM
Thanks for tuning in y'all!
