Goooooood morning. Are you tired and groggy from the friggin' time change? I think today's show is gonna be on the woozy side of things.

Were I more on my game, I'd have a whole bunch of songs about time to play for you. But I'm not. But if you have songs about time you want to hear, I'm open for suggestions/requests!

Woozy? I worked on a boat for a few years, I can hang. :)

The Treasure (Take One) by Stephen Stills Manassas band. It's a longish one though.

Hey Roffle! I'll see if I can fit that one in

End of set kinda thing. A bit epic on the ending. But I love it. No worries either way. I don't really request stuff, what you guys do is way too awesome. But hey, just a suggestion if you have some time. Hope your day is good Dan. I woke up early and have a green tea thinky going. All out of coffee. :)

Nice. Can't go wrong with green tea. What were you doing working on a boat?

Fishing in Alaska in the Bering Sea. Good money, horrible everything else.

Whoa. Yeah, that sounds cold

Brutally sometimes for sure. Ice and a baseball bat. arg!

Gotta get the ice off the top so the boat doesn't flip. It's nutzo

My heater here in Philly is much better. :)

😳🥶

Heya everyone

Morning TAndy!

Heya TAndy

Just woke up for the second time this morning, good tunes rn

TAndy you are the master of wakin' up stuff. I am certain it's not for the last time. :)

My question for this track is whether the title is referencing the original John Barton Wolgamot text or this truly bonkers Robert Ashley composition: https://robert-ashley.bandcamp.com/album/in-sara-mencken-christ-and-beethoven-there-were-men-and-women

(Some day, when I need to kill a large chunk of radio time, I'll play all of that Robert Ashley)

Oh my, that is a solid question for Brian D for sure. Dude is an encyclopedia in real time. lol

More on Wolgamot: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/harriet-books/2007/03/in-sara-mencken-christ-and-beethoveen-there-were-men-and-women-1944

Spiffy dresser is now in my vernacular.

Reads like a Philip K. Dick piece in phrasing.

Yeah, it's so totally weird. And Robert Ashley's rendering of it is even weirder

that Magic Meadow Mirrow was gorgeous!

Good morning DJ Dan and tentacled friends :)

Nuron tendrecules are the octopus stock in trade for sure.

Hi Li

*neuron*

Me spell bad

Hey Li! Jen Powers and Michael Rolin always do the good stuff

I'm queueing up my "guy taking off sunglasses to reveal another pair of sunglasses" gif in response to this song

Once you have sunglasses tatooed on your eyes you are ever cool AF.

😎

This song is the second pair of sunglasses

Or maybe this pairing is just because I watched all of "Wednesday" over the past week?

(A show that would have been so much cooler if it had actually used doom metal instead of Metallica/Apocalyptica on its soundtrack)

I binged it too. It was rather good. I was skeptical going in, but I did like. Yea, it could be much darker. Metallica is way too pop for me.

Good morning. We are currently watching season 2 of carnival row. It's okay.

I'm definitely a sucker for that school of campy/gothy/cheesy TV. Like I watched all of Sabrina even as it got more and more ridiculous

I only got halfway through the last season of Sabrina and totally lost interst. Shame, but oh well.

Yeah, I can totally understand that

Morning Krista!

@Krista, watched it all through. I liked that one just fine. I understand it is the last of it. Not bad at all.

Yay Cardiacs! Lizbot played ‘‘em last Thursday.

Oh cool. I heard Dana K play them maybe a month ago. Definitely a band I need to listen to more of

On safari sound track for sure.:)

I love this Drin record lots.

hallllllo everybody

first time hearing

and I don't think it's the last <3 !

Hanna sighting. In the wild. Wild....

Hey Hanna, Mike, and Brian!

Exploding Hearts were sooooooooooooooo good

Hey hanna

🐙!

Hi Brian!

the past two hours I have felt like an octopus indeed

thanks Dan

I think that's what people use Zunes for now.

Or Ponos. Or whatever they were called

Young had a pedal setup that is rather cool with his amp setup.

<--- still breaks out his Sansa Fuze+ every once in a while. Love that little mp3 black bar o soap

Thanks for the show!

Dam Brian D glad to know I'm not the only one who still uses a SanDisk

Ya Neil has "The Whizzer". Pedal that manually controls the amp knobs to get desired settings. Step on a button and the little machines turn the Fender amp knobs

IKR, was a cool thing! Brian gets it. :)

Thanks for tuning in everyone! I promise more random speculation about Neil Young technological devices next week!

I found that one can add just about any size additional mini SanDisk to the extra storage slot on those things. But.... the boot up time is really loooooonnnnggg if you stick in a large GB mini

Thanks Dan

You can easily load rockbox firmware on there for less loading time and folder hierarchy support for large cards. Past 200gb, battery life suffers though.

Ya a i almost did that. Heard about rock box

@Brian, I love the Amps these day. Tubes are so, so these days.

I have a 256 in there and the battery lasts 5 hours hahahah. Onto the next chat!

Then... i got a smarfone 8 yrs back... Sansa Fuzes look at me sadly and brush dust out of their electronic eyes now

lol
