Happy equinox! Have you performed the appropriate rite for the moon gods?
TAndy 10:02:02 AM
I had a bite of cheese from the moon if that counts
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:04:04 AM
That is the way

Depending on which mythology is locally dominant, and which hemisphere you live in, there are a variety of equinox traditions. 🌞
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 10:22:32 AM
My favorite: in Annapolis MD, they celebrate the “Burning of the Socks”.
Li Maria 10:22:56 AM
GM DJ Dan and happy equinox to you, too! Loving these last 2 tracks
Li Maria 10:23:29 AM
Burning of the socks--sounds interesting, DTO
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:23:31 AM
Morning Li and Dave! What does the Burning of the Socks entail???
Brian D 10:26:03 AM

fr1dayafternoon 10:48:07 AM
Really dug that Quasi track.
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:50:38 AM
The whole album is a ton of fun
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 10:51:37 AM
The festival signals the beginning of spring, and boating season, when socks no longer need to be worn.
TAndy 11:07:06 AM
Ok this woke me up
the_dude 11:20:28 AM
🤘
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:21:33 AM
Maybe this is the proper rite for spring?
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:30:27 AM
This Truth Club song has a wild video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQL4UWpB4vA
Brian D 11:34:57 AM
Love this album from Burma! A most welcome comeback
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:35:57 AM
I think they were the first to really do the comeback thing right. One of only a few
TAndy 11:40:37 AM
Hearing Truth Club on the show was an absolute gift, Dan.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 11:41:37 AM
I thought I heard South Indian violins
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:41:43 AM
Hopefully that single is a sign they've got another album coming out this year!
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:43:23 AM
Dave, it is a really fascinating mix of South Indian, Appalachian, and minimalist violin styles.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 11:44:33 AM
A well executed blend
Brian D 11:46:19 AM
These last 2 wow...
Ossy 11:56:41 AM
Hello and see ya, Dan, LOL
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:57:03 AM
Thanks for tuning in, y'all! See you in 2 weeks. Dana K is filling in for me next week
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:57:08 AM
Hiya Ossy!
Brian D 11:57:30 AM
Great show Dan! Have fun!
TAndy 12:01:00 PM
Thanks Dan!
