With Readie Righteous

Shake off the week, oh Righteous Ones! It's everything from Acid-Folk to Ziglibithy. Light the candles, drape your scarves; this is your time! I bring thee ambient, Afrobeat, international, Tuareg, Tuvan throat singing, queercore, gnawa, pop, disco, post-punk, jazz, soul, R 'n' B, obit-core and more. Opportunistic singing-along with your DJ is de rigeur. Your lagniappe: historical perspective, social consciousness, irreverence.

We need Gort right about now.

Readie Righteous (host) 5:59:25 PM
Welcome to the chat, Righteous ones! Recent events make me wonder...are we earthlings the only sentient beings in the universe? Are we being observed by others? Potential visitors?
Alan Pasnyk 6:03:33 PM
Hey Readie!!! It's that time to look back on the week; the Victories, Accomplishments, and Defeats and ...SHAKE...IT.....OFF !!!
Alan Pasnyk 6:03:58 PM
...so how are you????
Readie Righteous (host) 6:05:09 PM
Hey Alan...yes, it's that time! I'm doing well, despite the stormy-ish night closing in!
Lee Chandler 6:05:21 PM
We’re a beta test for a more evolved species.
Readie Righteous (host) 6:05:27 PM
How are things with you, Alan?
Readie Righteous (host) 6:06:13 PM
Hi Lee! I wonder if other beings would even bother with us -
Alan Pasnyk 6:06:49 PM
@ Readie: Doing mostly Ok! mixed bag but I'll easily survive!
Alan Pasnyk 6:07:26 PM
@ Everyone: Trust me: If we shot it down, It Ain't Aliens!!
Readie Righteous (host) 6:07:30 PM
Bomb trains, more school shootings, balloons and UFOs....whoa...!
Readie Righteous (host) 6:08:49 PM
@Alan - and what tells you that we wouldn't shoot down aliens? Are you sure?!?!
Readie Righteous (host) 6:10:30 PM
Im really curious!
Alan Pasnyk 6:12:12 PM
@ Readie: So think of this: A civilization that can transverse interstellar distances ( The nearest star other than our sun is about 3 or 4 light years away, one light year is about 6 Trillion miles) gets itself here and is "Easily" shot down??
Bud Burroughs 6:12:18 PM
Hello Readie! I don't want to speak for Alan, but I'd assume that if any civilization is advanced enough to travel incomprehensible distances to visit us, they'd be way too advanced for us to be able to shoot them down.
Bud Burroughs 6:12:33 PM
Well there you go!
Lee Chandler 6:12:49 PM
We’re probably just sea monkeys for the lower ranking aliens.
Bud Burroughs 6:12:59 PM
And by the way, I'm surprised Derek Trucks hasn't coaxed Dave the Obscure into the chat.
Readie Righteous (host) 6:13:27 PM
Oh, you mean we COULDN'T shoot them down @Alan?

Happy weekend all. Rainy cloudy today. But Wed night was super clear. Saw Jupiter & Venus really bright in W sky. Mars smaller but visible straight up near Orion's belt. And tons of other visible stars as well.
Readie Righteous (host) 6:15:00 PM
Hey Bud, hi there! Yeah, true! These UFOs....everytime I hear a jet take off from the nearby airport, I think...hmmmm...that's quite a roar....
Alan Pasnyk 6:15:20 PM
@ Readie: The tech to just Get Here would have to be far superior than any tech we have to "shoot it down"...
Lee Chandler 6:15:48 PM
We could also just be little specks of dust bored alien kids throw their interstellar camp flashlights on.
Readie Righteous (host) 6:15:49 PM
@Brian D- cool, I love a clear night...tonight is downright blustery!
Alan Pasnyk 6:15:55 PM
Hi Bri!! Yep that was a great night to be out, same here!
Lee Chandler 6:18:46 PM

Carl Sagan used to wonder about alien abduction claims. "All we would need is one nut or bolt or part whose alloy could be proven by analysis and isotopes that was not clearly ours, only ten could we prove that aliens truly exist" (and I paraphrase here..).

Hi there, SU Wesley!
Alan Pasnyk 6:41:02 PM
@ Wes: Douglas Adams, a genius writer!
Readie Righteous (host) 6:41:12 PM
Yo Larry! I'm not surprised! Elegant film
Larry Will 6:41:30 PM
Dr. Strangelove was the penultimate classic in that class.
Larry Will 6:42:00 PM
Strangelove remains my favorite film to this day
Readie Righteous (host) 6:42:08 PM
Oh, yeah - another classic, Larry...Peter Sellers is amazing in that one...

Hey Ossy, I like the idea of WPRB socks!
Alan Pasnyk 7:03:45 PM
... If aliens tune in they may decide that there may be hope for us yet..
Alan Pasnyk 7:04:22 PM
@ Readie: WPRB Wall Callendar???
Readie Righteous (host) 7:06:18 PM
nice thought, @Alan...aliens tuning in...I always think of the WPRB signal floating into the cosmos and being picked up by some other sentient beings...."dial-twisting" on some communications device ...
Lee Chandler 7:06:25 PM
Another absolute fav, Galaxy Quest. I feel it’s criminally overlooked.
Rofflestomp 7:06:45 PM
Hiya Readie. I do have an alien WPRB pin that could conceivably be worn on a sock. A prototype of sorts if you will.
Readie Righteous (host) 7:07:11 PM

I have it on a lapel of my swede blazer. :)
Alan Pasnyk 7:09:29 PM
Alien pin is on my hat I'm wearing
Readie Righteous (host) 7:09:39 PM
@Addie- cool! I keep finding WPRBpins around the house and I'm trying to collect them in one place!
Readie Righteous (host) 7:10:48 PM
@Roffle - cool! I have a hat it would look great on!
Alan Pasnyk 7:10:56 PM
I put a new clasp on my alien pin 'cause I almost lost it !! Oh Nooo!!!
Readie Righteous (host) 7:11:17 PM
@Alan - you are right now wearing it! lolo! that's true devotion!!!
Readie Righteous (host) 7:11:54 PM
I always worry I'll lose the pins...
Larry Will 7:12:02 PM
we got a whole bunch of little green aliens in plastic cups (the kind you used to see in candy machines) at a SubGenius devival long ago. Still handing them out to friends on occasion...
Alan Pasnyk 7:12:04 PM
I gave him a name..."Travellin' Man"
Alan Pasnyk 7:12:32 PM
...even though he's an alien...
Readie Righteous (host) 7:13:26 PM
@Alan- brown paper bags....on our heads....for anonymity! How would we distinguish ourselves....custom portraits?
Alan Pasnyk 7:14:25 PM

Readie Righteous (host) 7:19:17 PM
I agree, Brian D...spring-like weather has been cropping up a lot lately! Thinking the same....
Rofflestomp 7:20:09 PM
I used to love staying at LBI in the winter. Quiet and the smell of fireplaces is such a great memory.
Readie Righteous (host) 7:20:20 PM
Many different designs of gloves, Ossy - fingerless, the ones with only the cutout for the thumbs...all that good stuff...
Readie Righteous (host) 7:21:40 PM
@Rofff- sounds really good- I never stayed in LBI, but visited a few times...
