omg i know i haven't been away long but this is a feeling

Instant flashback!

YAY!

COMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIEEEEEEEEE 💥🎷🦄🎹🪐☄️

Hey Commie, right after the first time I heard your show, I was trying to describe it to a friend. I kept calling it

Commieeeeee!

Unpleasant Listening

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORAY

hahahah unpleasant listening! I APPROVE

I hope the weather has calmed down up there. Here the steady winds and gusts are peaking, hopefully we won't lose power

YOOOOOO

yeah it was wild for a bit, hail and lightning and high winds, but it seems to have passed

hi Tandy Rob Phil! and Stevie Jimbo Richard Roffle!

Hey, hey Commie! Back in the sattle. :)

Did somebody mention fools???

Huge jamma right here

I resemble that remark!🤗

just for this week! quinneth had... an accident

(that was an all about eve/showgirls joke)

Commie, are you taking requests?

sure!

How about Fools In Love by Joe Jackson? If it's too obvious or popular for you, that's totally fine

The Tornado Watch is valid until 10 pm NJ time for just these NJ counties ATLANTIC BURLINGTON CAPE MAY CUMBERLAND OCEAN

i considered that but i do not think it is for this show, sorry!

I hope Quinneth is OK!

Hey, no problem!!

i think quinneth is fine! i was asked to sub a few days in advance not really that last minute

All the other NJ counties that were in the Tornado Watch earlier are not in it now (like Mercer)

'Mother With Child And Bunny!'

It's a twistah. It's a TWISTAH!

Where's Dorothy?

Hello Commie! Nice to hear you again on a Saturday night.

hi Bo! nice to see your typing!

Gonna guess "Wont get fooled again" is gonna be the outro, but that seems sorta elementary.

yeah that would be a wrong guess although thematically it does make sense

Speaking of this april fool crap... I gotta agree with Commie. I don't like it. Nosir. Don't like it one bit.

... especially the idiotic corporate websites that try to be witty. s.t.f.u. with that april fools corporate "humor"

i remember one year my brother colored a gallon of milk blue and then we had to have weird blue milk on/in everything

This one had me going for a few paragraphs:

https://morethanthecurve.com/conshohocken-invited-to-join-the-main-line/

This song makes me want to hear the original Jelly Roll Morton version of "Buddy Bolden's Blues"

Did you pick a theme song for the themed portion of the show?

no one has sent me anything yet!

Oh. I get it. The theme is songs about Fool

Does chump by limp bizkit count

Beatles Fool on the Hill is all I got on short notice

What's the email? And what file type is best

cf@uneasylistening.org, 320bps or better mp3 is ideal but i can manage any file type if it sounds ok

lol non bps but you get the idea. the tempo can be whatever you want

short please, 30 seconds or less

Can there be a blank space for you to shout the name of the theme?

haha sure!

Dio - All The Fools Sailed Away

Hi Commie on the original Saturday slot

Loved that Beach Bullies tune. Got a real X vibe.

beach bullies were quality! there's a pretty recent reissue of that record

Everybody Plays A Fool - Cuba Gooding sr

Ain't no exception to the rule... Os

I thought maybe Genesis - More Fool Me, but it's way too low energy for a saturday night.

Aretha... Chain of foos

and now.... the bath boy of 1989

@Commie, have you room for (Now And Then There's) A Fool Such As I by Patsy Cline or Hank Snow?

SO EXCITED to hear you on the airwaves, Commie! <3 <3 The only song that is coming to mind re: fools -- Curtis Mayfield's 'Fool For You'. This DOES sound like bath boy of 1989! Truly!

hi Teresa!

Bath Boy beater!

Great to hear you back Saturday night Commie, be sweet to crank it up to Fool for the city, Foghat!

i'm sorry i will not play fool for the city but i DO love foghat

The stones fool to cry it's a great song also

💎sooogooood💎

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKFWIYFs2SU

what is the youtube? i can't click youtube links or you will hear them on the iar

Wartburgs Für Walter album. also a live album there

Zappa - Dancin' Fool, lol

i did my zappa quote for the year/decade playing the instrumental version of oh no in the background last week

quota, i can't type tonight

Just a throwin' it out there. :)

understood! <3

This song is sooooo gooood!

I wonder if Captain Sad and His Ship of Fools ever met Captain Groovy and His Bubblegum Army.

yeah, agreed ambrose

there is a collection of wartburgs fur walter recordings that came out in 2016 which seems gettable

Fools Rush In - Elvis Presly. But nah! I am not really a big fan of the "King". Just fun with typing.

i think i might have exactly the right number of songs to play by 10

Thank goodness. I can stop with the foolish suggestions. :)

haha don't worry i always have more than enough songs

thanks for the heads up on the 2016 Wartburgs Für Walter recordings!

@Rofflestomp😅

https://www.mississippirecords.net/catalog/p/the-weeds

on another note, I picked up The Weeds "Just Colour"...early Fred Cole

So Fairport Conventionish.

some friends and i set up a tribute show to fred cole after he died and we did "i'm gonna be there" from that record and the next day i was getting coffee and the barista said she was there and it made her CRY

awww

it's a total ripoff of a famous song, i'm blanking on which one

but it's great anyway

OMG trees again...love it.

speaking of fred cole, severed head of state had the drummer of pierced arrows playing bass

trees were so fantastic

i got on the shore last time i was in portland!

Nice! Love Pierced Arrows! We just got back from Cannon Beach and Seaside :)

was just listening to pierced arrows today...

selling all my records and cds...don't wanna give up my dead moon records :(

i know someone who likes to buy records

gotta save a few dandys😊

I was going to do that but changed my mind and bought a new turntable🤪

i'm goin all or nothing. i have my stuff, selections from parents/grandparents/brothers stuff

i love your lack of self control richard :)

it's true that I lack it

i have that same problem with records

Commie, I'll bet it will be good to work out of the BARGE to use 'em on your shows!

yes i'm very excited!

some things you just can't find digitally anywhere

also i used to deliberately start transistor sister off with the surface noise of the scratchy single!

i love record noise

I second that!

hello

hello Jesse!

listening in Berkeley, CA

westsiiiide

awesome! not that i want to dissuade you from listening to wprb but you're in the broadcast area of one of the great college stations!

oh I know. kalx. I jump around. whrb. wmbr. kzsu. lol

It’s oh so nice….

I have an old school little gadget-device to listen when I'm biking around :-)

yesss i summoned pethie!!

PETHIIEEEEEEEEEEE!

a.... transistor radio??

HI!

pethie will be filling in for me when i'm in england next month!!!

why, yes, Actually

You did!!! Better late than never!!!

actually i'm doing one show FROM england but she's doing the one when i'm on a plane

YAY!!!!!

Hello everybody

PETHIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Good evening Pethie

PETHIE!!!

bo next song goes out to you

Aww! 🤗😍

This song is so good

Slightly different take but me likey!

I guess "Rêve" is the closest French word they could find for "kicks".

i feel like there must be a better translation than that but maybe they just wanted to change it

Empire, English band no doubt?

yes, ex generation x

friends are hard, times are phew

Ahhh!👍

DAMN!

i almost forgot to play any australian bands

damb!

phew

:-)

thanks commieeee!

Thanks, Commie!

Brilliant show, thanks Commie!🙏

thanks everyone, nice to see some folks who aren't around on sundays!!

g'nit

and the people who are of course

Great show, Commie. Very unpleasant listening!

ty! cf!

Thanks for the ear joys

I'm not around but I'm def not a square!
