Hello, DJ Wilbo!
Wilbo (host) 12:14:46 PM
Oh yes, hellos
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:16:12 PM
It’s WORKING! 📻🎵🎶
Mike Lupica 12:16:31 PM
They said it would never work... but in the end... it "worked".
Mike Lupica 12:17:09 PM
All hail the Numbers Band!
Wilbo (host) 12:17:22 PM
Genius only comes to a chosen few, and we're no exception...
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:18:33 PM
Cheers, DJ MikeLupica! Greatly appreciated the message in the chat during the interim!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:29:14 PM

TAndy 12:33:15 PM
Lovely show so far, Wilbo.
Wilbo (host) 12:33:23 PM
Indeed! The cassette copy I have of this stayed in my tapedeck for a good 4 months straight when it first came out. So good
Wilbo (host) 12:34:05 PM
Thx TA, and hey!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:34:11 PM
Cassette?!? Wow!
TAndy 12:34:45 PM
Ahoy!
Wilbo (host) 12:35:39 PM
I swear I'm sneaking into the Barge and hooking up a cassette player when Mike's not looking
TAndy 12:36:26 PM
Apparently some companies are still making HiFi cassette decks
TAndy 12:37:07 PM
They won't have as good of a build quality as when cassette was still the big thing but many of them are still better than getting a used worn out one which may require replacement parts that aren't made anymore
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:37:14 PM
Why wouldn’t there be a cassette player at radio stations?! Kids are bringing back cassette tapes and yes, players!
Wilbo (host) 12:38:43 PM
Did I mention my Beta machine? Don't get me started...
TAndy 12:38:50 PM
I do in fact have a few recently printed cassette tapes. And an old Walkman that still works
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:39:10 PM
Don’t even get me started…
TAndy 12:39:25 PM
Betamax or Betacam ;)
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:39:40 PM
I’m ready for Laserdisc revival!
TAndy 12:39:50 PM
HELL YEAH MAN
TAndy 12:40:15 PM
Laserdisc and DAT are my favorite defunct physical formats
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:40:57 PM
You’re killing me, Smalls
Wilbo (host) 12:43:22 PM
minidisc was my least fav
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:44:29 PM
f’n minidisc
TAndy 12:44:44 PM
Sony formats were so weird and proprietary, but the mechanisms around the format are neat.
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:45:30 PM
GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR❣️
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:45:53 PM
this show! is fun
Dan Ruccia 12:46:07 PM
I remember hearing Dan Buskirk rave about his laserdisc finds at PREX back in the early aughts
TAndy 12:46:25 PM
Hey Dan!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:46:59 PM
Dan just mentioned laserdisc in his chat YESTERDAY
Dan Ruccia 12:47:14 PM
Hiya TAndy!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:47:18 PM
Hi, DJ DanRuccia!
Michael D. Okum 12:47:30 PM
Thanks for playing Godspeed... For some reason hard to explain it feels like its made my day... Love this Show!
Wilbo (host) 12:48:47 PM
Thx MDO!
Chris Mc🥸 12:49:04 PM
Laserdisc reminds me of Dragon's Lair.
Wilbo (host) 12:49:47 PM
I could see Buskirk still having a roomful of laserdiscs
TAndy 12:51:20 PM
iirc Krista has a collection of Japanese MiniDiscs as well
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:52:27 PM
That’s right! Buddha bless the minidisc, like I typed earlier 🙃😎
Dan Ruccia 12:52:39 PM
I definitely remember having science class videos or whatever on laserdisc in the early 90s
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:55:48 PM
I definitely want 1990’s science class weirdness on laserdisc!
TAndy 12:55:55 PM
It's pronounced "sky-insce"
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 12:56:40 PM
uuuhhhhh
Dan Ruccia 12:58:28 PM
Whoa, apparently laserdiscs use FM encoding for the video?? And that CDs are actually based on laserdisc technology??? (Sorry, running down the wikipedia rabbit hole)
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:00:27 PM
Interesting!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:00:43 PM
Oh! Mic break!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:00:50 PM
We hear you!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:02:51 PM
UhOh in the year 3000!
TAndy 1:03:01 PM
@Dan Here's a very good playlist that goes over the quirks, features, and tech behind Laserdisc. I've both watched and fallen asleep to the video before 😌
TAndy 1:03:46 PM
@MrM Cmon, use your thinking muscles! (Pronounced Muhskullz)
TAndy 1:04:19 PM
Red White & Blue on 33?
Brian D 1:04:32 PM
Yep. Gotta have that God Speed You Black Emperor "... Skinny Fists... Antennae... " lp. A classic. Good headphone stuffs. Or soundtrack to a thunderstorm. That and Mogwai "My Father My King" go together well
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:04:45 PM
Ha! @TAndy
TAndy 1:07:34 PM
He's INVENTIVE
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:08:18 PM
I chortled out loud 🥜 🌰
TAndy 1:12:09 PM
I enjoy my fudge without nuts
TAndy 1:13:01 PM
This is EXTREMELY nice
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:15:53 PM
I heard some ‘Ode To Joy’ ❤️‍🔥 in that bed music
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:18:43 PM
Good info @BrianD Cheers!
Wilbo (host) 1:18:53 PM
yeah it's bizarre, sounded like a pipe organ in spots
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:19:37 PM
Fascinating!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:19:52 PM
wut is this!?!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:22:27 PM
Binglala ??? or Bianglala ???
Dan Ruccia 1:25:52 PM
Love this version of Earth. I was listening to Hex earlier, and the bare riffs on their own felt just a little to austere. This is the good stuff
Wilbo (host) 1:26:49 PM

That’s awesome! California?!
Wilbo (host) 1:44:38 PM
Indeed, it was their birthday, too!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:45:15 PM
Was there birthday CAKE?!?
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:47:03 PM
🎂❓🎂❓🎂❓
Wilbo (host) 1:48:25 PM
Not that I recall, but I know we sang HB. They pulled up in a Cadillac convertible with their guitars sticking up in the back seat, they knew how to make an entrance!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 1:50:24 PM
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing! 🎸🎸🎸
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 2:05:35 PM

I heart everything about that movie ❣️
Wilbo (host) 2:21:37 PM
Convinced me not to invest in rental properties
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 2:23:42 PM
Seriously! MAKO, tho yo!
Wilbo (host) 2:23:47 PM
So I bought cassettes instead

TAndy 2:31:53 PM
Can't get over how the guitar sometimes sounds like a cats meow
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 2:32:33 PM
meow
Dá Bəng Gôu 2:36:52 PM
The brown dog eats the kitty.
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 2:37:27 PM
too far
Dá Bəng Gôu 2:37:53 PM
It was only over there.
Dá Bəng Gôu 2:44:04 PM
sounds familiar, "an alloy of erudite influences and approaches given frenetic gravity in pursuit of a united musical and political vision.."
Dá Bəng Gôu 2:45:05 PM
which is next to: "Whirlwinds of stylistic indecision coalescing into a linear kaleidoscope of musical superimposition..."
Dá Bəng Gôu 2:45:21 PM
which is next to the kitty.
TAndy 2:46:19 PM
Meowch!!
TAndy 2:48:14 PM
Thanks for the show, Wilbo!
Wilbo (host) 2:53:28 PM
No, thank you!
Dá Bəng Gôu 2:58:47 PM
Great show !!
