Habitat Enrichment

Apr 6, 2023 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Music

With Krista

Habitat Enrichment is the concept of introducing novelty to an animal's enclosure to keep it from getting bored or sad. Let me play you something fun. Genres span world and time, just like a cat with a box to play in.

Some specialties you can usually hear a little on my show: Luk Thuong, 60s crooners, cow punk, and synthwave. If you don't like the song currently playing, wait approximately 2 minutes for something else!

plagues in yet another plague year

blood! frogs! cattle sickness!

Krista (host) 7:43:25 AM
I do wonder what kind of frogs. random mix? frogs native to the area? were toads allowed?
Commie Francis ☭ 7:43:25 AM
I was reading an interpretation of the passover story that posits that there was only one huge frog initially but when the Egyptians attacked it instead of resolving the root of the problem it split into a zillion frogs
Commie Francis ☭ 7:45:19 AM
I feel like it could have been toads too but probably all native species

I wound up missing most of Mike's show as well thanks to a work meeting that went on way too long. Somehow we went from talking about safety during travels to foreign countries, to that time Julius Caesar crucified the people who kidnapped him

My friend had a group text message of Saturday bowling, and called us guys as gods in a typo
Chef Emeril Lagasse 🍳 8:44:36 AM
Anybody ever do duckpin bowling or candlepin bowling?
TAndy 8:44:47 AM
DANGEROUSLY based typo, Ossy. I'll be referring to the boys as Gods from now on.
Lee Chandler 8:48:06 AM
I want to try duckpin, but never have. First time I've ever heard of candlepin.
TAndy 8:48:10 AM
"motor sickle"
Christine 𓅓 8:51:19 AM
That reminds me of the Arlo Guthrie song about riding the 🏍 motor-sickle.
Brian D 8:55:33 AM
Went to a candlepin bowling alley in Maine back in late 70s on vacation. Pondicherry Lanes. Then later saw that same name mentioned in Stephen King books. Candlepin was great as a kid! Easy to grip, bowl
Mokley Crue 8:56:28 AM

Brian D 8:56:50 AM
Bridgton, Maine. Keeping up with the accent that came from the old countries, let's get rid of a vowel when we can.

@ Krista (host) Another tremendous playlist. I'd never heard Marty Robbins' "Cry Stampede," really awesome. Obviously it comes from the same period that produced his masterpiece of suspenseful cowboy story telling "El Paso" (although from a different LP). What a songwriter Robbins was!
Brian D 9:15:48 AM
Fun guitar song to teach the little kids! Any ACDC really.

Richard from Rocky Hill 9:24:27 AM
@ Krista (host) Many people (myself included) that Frank Sinatra's version of "I've Got You Under My Skin" is one of THE all-time greatest popular music recordings. It's on Sinatra's 1950s career comeback LP Songs For Swinging Lovers, produced, arranged and conducted by the great Nelson Riddle. Check it out if you've never heard it. Truly wondrous.
Krista (host) 9:25:24 AM
oh, i've certainly heard it, Richard

@ Krista (host) Oh, yes, I'm sure you've heard the Sinatra "I've Gout You Under My Skin." Sorry, that was really meant as an exhortation to the Chat in general. I'm about to buy a download of Klaus Nomi's cover, it's a hoot! :-))
Ossy 9:47:07 AM
Africana!
Richard from Rocky Hill 9:47:27 AM
@ Krista (host) One other comment, and I'll go back to work and back to lurk (on the chat). When I was a kid and Lou Christie had a major hit with "Lightning Strikes," even way back then I realized what a sexist double standard it represented. The male character laying down the non-exclusive-for-now rules to his girlfriend would NEVER accept her saying that if "Lightning Strikes" with some hot guy she's got to be free to hook up (because, Hey, you & I are getting married eventually.)
Brian D 9:50:50 AM
I think the LA band does it like "High-mm"
Richard from Rocky Hill 9:51:40 AM
But, hey! it would be a powerful song for some feminist rocker to cover. I can hear Joan Jett, Liz Phair, Bjork or Courtney Love doin' it ... :-))
TAndy 9:54:32 AM
