Captain Ahab (host) 3:05:27 PM
My music has to either super loud because I'm actually listening or very quiet to where it doesn't distract my thoughts, there no in between

Matt Sabbath 3:22:09 PM
I love how Josh Homme didnt like Nic O's violence and yet Josh has been arrested repeatedly for battery
Captain Ahab (host) 3:23:09 PM

Matt Sabbath 3:24:23 PM
Josh has an ego on him
Matt Sabbath 3:25:19 PM

Matt Sabbath 3:28:23 PM
I would think g - oh - bee - ah
Umlaut Cruising 3:28:38 PM
That could be a show theme...songs/bands with an umlaut (decorative or otherwise)
Dan Ruccia 3:28:41 PM
job-ee-uh
Matt Sabbath 3:28:53 PM
We need Mike Patton, who is fluent in Italian
Captain Ahab (host) 3:29:10 PM

Dan Ruccia 3:32:43 PM
Forse. Il mio italiono e un po arrugginito. Penso che devo fare duo lingo di piu...
Dan Ruccia 3:33:43 PM
Demon Behemoth is almost a character in "Master and Margarita"
Captain Ahab (host) 3:34:01 PM
Also I take back what I said about the umlaut being decorative, turns out it's a reference to a pagan festival https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giubiana
Dan Ruccia 3:35:01 PM
Oh, but that's a northern italian variant. They're practically in Switzerland there
Brian D 3:37:27 PM
Ooo thats a nice beginning

Rob Pullan 3:45:27 PM
Since two of my favorite DJs are in the room and I'm not behind the wheel (so can type), thank you Cap'n A and Dan the Octopus man. So much that's new to me and worth checking out more of.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:46:16 PM
Cheers Rob! So glad you like the tunes
Rob F 3:46:20 PM
Hi Captain, really enjoying this music!
Dan Ruccia 3:46:40 PM
Thanks, Rob! Seconding the Captain!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:46:53 PM
Cheers other Rob!
Dan Ruccia 3:46:56 PM
Also, this Kanaan rips. Love me some Hedvig Mollestad
Captain Ahab (host) 3:47:40 PM
Yeah, Kanaan are a recent discovery for me and so glad to have found them, Hedvig is new to me
Matt Sabbath 3:47:55 PM
Hedvig & the Angry Inch
Dan Ruccia 3:48:35 PM
She's great. In the grand tradition of jazz/metal guitarists
Umlaut Cruising 3:48:43 PM
Thumbs up for the Kanaan tune.
Matt Sabbath 3:49:04 PM
@dan r I havent read Master & Marg but a Russian buddy swears by it. I'm kneedeep in latest Cormac McCarthy
Matt Sabbath 3:50:12 PM
SAMSQUANCH 🦍
Dan Ruccia 3:52:20 PM
This new Big|Brave album can't come out soon enough
Matt Sabbath 3:52:41 PM
Great song title
Captain Ahab (host) 3:52:51 PM
They're on tour too, coming to Philly July 9th
Dan Ruccia 3:52:56 PM
@Matt I'm in the middle of a reread of it right now. It's so much fun and so very silly.
Rob Pullan 3:53:55 PM
This Big/Brave single is something else. Love it.
Matt Sabbath 3:54:08 PM
@Dan R have you read Strugatsky Bros? Roadside Picnic; Doomed City; etc
Francis 3:54:25 PM
TAndy - while out here on the West coast try a Fatburger if you can find one. More common down in L.A., but I like them better than In n Out
Matt Sabbath 3:55:16 PM
@francis Meat Puppets ate Fatburger before playing McCabe's guitar shop Lol
Matt Sabbath 3:56:16 PM
Cris Kirkwood said Fatburger made him feel male pregnant LOLOLOL
Dan Ruccia 3:56:27 PM
Crap, I'm gonna be out of town when they play near me. Sigh...
Rob Pullan 3:57:52 PM
Sorry. I did a slash.
Matt Sabbath 3:58:06 PM
This is not a pipe.
Matt Sabbath 3:58:34 PM
Sorry, surrealist reference
Umlaut Cruising 3:58:57 PM
Big|Brave are Unix/Linux fans
Francis 3:59:05 PM
The Fatburger called "The Kingburger" is the monster to get. My choice to eat after having a colonoscopy
Matt Sabbath 3:59:34 PM
Lol Umlaut
TAndy WæstCoast 3:59:45 PM
Samsquanch is from Trailer Park Boys. He's a greasy motherfucker
Francis 4:00:05 PM
Been using Linux since 1999 - good stuff. Had a computer that didn't crash for 2 years running that
TAndy WæstCoast 4:00:09 PM
The main character Ricky has a habit of mispronouncing or overly complicating certain words
Brian D 4:00:14 PM
It's a Trailer Park Boys reference. Character Bubbles mixes up the word Sasquatch
TAndy WæstCoast 4:00:35 PM
Hell yeah Brian D you're right. Bubbles said it first not Ricky for once
Brian D 4:00:39 PM
Yes and Ricky
Matt Sabbath 4:01:04 PM
Linux rules
Francis 4:01:05 PM
I wonder if the Capt'n can do an " all umlaut" set.
Matt Sabbath 4:01:26 PM
Burn the witch
Matt Sabbath 4:01:37 PM
You caint drown em
Brian D 4:01:48 PM
Jalahpenno chips or zesty mordant all dressed? Smokes, chips now!
Dan Ruccia 4:02:25 PM
Or, as Venom says, don't burn the witch

Matt Sabbath 4:08:11 PM
Ça ira
Captain Ahab (host) 4:08:24 PM
So I read Blood Meridian but kind of struggled, I'll give him another shot. Everyone calls him the modern Herman Melville, who is like my favorite author lol, so maybe I wasn't just in the right state of mind the first time
Francis 4:08:53 PM
Yësz!!
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 4:08:55 PM
The Ösmond Bröthers. Heavy stuff.
Matt Sabbath 4:09:13 PM
I've read Blood Meridian three times LOL. Brutal
TAndy WæstCoast 4:09:36 PM
Yo DTO
Brian D 4:09:42 PM
Love love Blood Meridian. Hazy desert insane odyssey
Matt Sabbath 4:09:49 PM
Ahab just say "I'd prefer not to."
Captain Ahab (host) 4:09:59 PM
I was living in Jordan at the time (the literal desert) and not really happy about it so maybe that's why
Captain Ahab (host) 4:10:10 PM
Pull a Bartleby lol
Francis 4:10:41 PM
MOby Dick is probably my fav novel. Read almost the entirety of it commuting to my job on the Human Genome Project in Wash DC. Gravity's Rainbow is up there too
Captain Ahab (host) 4:10:57 PM
Moby Dick is the greatest american novel of all time
Francis 4:11:41 PM
Right on sister!
Matt Sabbath 4:11:43 PM
Blood Meridian is (what is now) Imperial County area tho
Matt Sabbath 4:12:48 PM
I'd imagine Jordan desert & Mexican desert very different, maybe not
TAndy WæstCoast 4:12:55 PM
You GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE
Dan Ruccia 4:13:29 PM
Stoned Jesus 🤣🤣
Captain Ahab (host) 4:13:39 PM
tell me how you really feel
Matt Sabbath 4:13:54 PM
Stoned Jesus has an insane prolonged yell in "I am the Mountain"
Brian D 4:14:20 PM
I like that part where the escutcheons were up against the chapparals of the escarpment amongst the cupreous and dancebright carp and catfish with their sprueless underbellies disenthroned with their ten thousand dreams ensepulchred in their crozzled hearts... and stuff like that
Matt Sabbath 4:14:44 PM
Lol Brian D you spoofer
Dan Ruccia 4:14:55 PM
I remember that part, Brian
Matt Sabbath 4:15:44 PM
McCarthy's The Passenger is insane. About quantum mechanics/physics
Matt Sabbath 4:16:16 PM
McCarthy and Bongzilla both took 16 years to release new stuff
Brian D 4:16:33 PM
I'd like to see Terry Gilliam take a whack at directing Blood Meridian.
Matt Sabbath 4:17:09 PM
He's a wanker, he'll f it up
Matt Sabbath 4:17:29 PM
But F & L in LV was true to book, amazingly
Brian D 4:17:50 PM
The only Minnesotan Pythonian
Matt Sabbath 4:18:04 PM
Lol
Brian D 4:18:41 PM
Love his scenes. And use of extras, bit parts etc.
Matt Sabbath 4:18:46 PM
Blood Meridian is unfilmable
Matt Sabbath 4:19:37 PM
The Coen Bros really changed No Country quite a bit
Rob Pullan 4:19:40 PM
So. Much. Fuzz.
Brian D 4:21:02 PM
Ya you'd need a 24 hour film or more like the Jodo film school loved screenplay/script/ storyboards etc of Dune
Matt Sabbath 4:21:37 PM
Yeah, Jodo might could pull it off, good point
Matt Sabbath 4:24:51 PM
Westing going for the Led Zep drum sound
Matt Sabbath 4:26:11 PM
Sound like Crooked Vultures
Matt Sabbath 4:30:28 PM
The Jetsons, the future that never was
Umlaut Cruising 4:30:52 PM
@Matt I was thinking the same of the Westing bass drum sound.
Jon Solomon 4:31:21 PM
(catching up on the chat)
Jon Solomon 4:31:26 PM
The Kanaan track from the ISS comp I've been playing sides of the last two weeks is quite good too.
Matt Sabbath 4:32:11 PM
Jon catch up on the Chat Pile
Captain Ahab (host) 4:33:22 PM
These guys really remind of colour haze, which is an excellent thing
Matt Sabbath 4:34:27 PM
kinda Sgt. Papers-esque too
Jon Solomon 4:35:49 PM
Did anyone catch Wilbo's show yesterday? What I heard was rather incredible. Only sorry I didn't get to hear the full thing.
Jon Solomon 4:36:11 PM
Not unlike DCwCA, made me proud to be a part of WPRB.
Matt Sabbath 4:36:15 PM
Ahab, bandcamp just ran an article on instrumental doom bands called "(not shouting) into the void"
Matt Sabbath 4:37:29 PM
Clever title innit
Captain Ahab (host) 4:38:06 PM
Very clever title! I'll have to check it out. Jon: <3
Captain Ahab (host) 4:38:40 PM

Shoots crowd with bass guitar
Matt Sabbath 4:43:25 PM
But it was Dave Murray, the quiet one, who went to Egypt & inspired Powerslave

+1 for using words that contain an umlaut.
Matt Sabbath 4:54:33 PM
I prefer Diogenes of Sinope 🔦
Jon Solomon 4:56:49 PM
You did it again, Cap.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:57:11 PM
My parents met in Sinop
Captain Ahab (host) 4:57:20 PM
And it was the name of my first cat
Captain Ahab (host) 4:57:29 PM
(Sinop, not Diogenese lol)
Matt Sabbath 4:57:43 PM
Nice! Great philosopher, far better than that idiot Plato
Rob Pullan 4:58:27 PM
Great show. Thank you.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:58:34 PM
