We're back!

5:02:56 PM
Welcome back! Hello!
Jon Solomon (host)
5:03:25 PM
Hello hello, Richard.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:03:51 PM
Thanks to Commie for covering while I was away.
Rob from Maryland
5:06:39 PM
Hello everyone! It sounds like a great trip, Jon!
richard lyons:)
5:06:44 PM
That sounds lovely!
Dan Wade
5:07:42 PM
Hi everybody!
Jon Solomon (host)
5:09:19 PM
Hey, Dan!
Jon Solomon (host)
5:09:49 PM
Richard, it was a good trip. Wish it could have been a touch longer but my daughter needed to be back in NJ for CPR training and her parents could only take so much time away...
Jon Solomon (host)
5:10:45 PM
Was delighted when a local we befriended reacted with a "oh, that place is brilliant!" after we told him about a dinner choice. Did everything on my checklist, have one restaurant I hope to try next time.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:12:50 PM
Hope everyone has been as well as possible.
richard lyons:)
5:15:46 PM
We want to go there. Have never been.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:16:01 PM
I was last there when I was five. Seagull ate my sandwich. Still annoyed.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:17:31 PM
Two reasons I gather a lot of peers have gone recently: delicious, high quality food is available for like $8-$10 an entree and also Ubers all over the city are under $5 (save for when I typed our address in wrong and we were nearly taken 30 minutes outside of the city, thank goodness my wife speaks a lick of Portuguese).
richard lyons:)
5:23:08 PM
Seagulls are crafty devils. Nice!
Classy Pat
5:24:17 PM

One time I gave my ice cream to a shark, and then I had nothing to eat
Jon Solomon (host)
5:25:02 PM
How you feeling, Mon?
Jon Solomon (host)
5:25:58 PM
Seagull in Ocean City once snatched part of a slice of pizza out of my hand as I walked the boardwalk. Yes, someone did have to stop me from continuing to eat said slice of pizza. I'm smart!
Classy Pat
5:27:00 PM
I'm feeling a little better all the time
Classy Pat

Classy Pat
5:28:10 PM
when i was a kid a seagull in atlantic city pooped on my dad's shirt and he had to buy a shirt from the dollar store that had dice on it
Classy Pat
5:28:29 PM
very vivid memory, that pink Atlantic City dice shirt
richard lyons:)
5:29:10 PM

Not sure this will translate but...

5:29:37 PM
Back in the usenet days, there was a place called alt.cesium, where people wrote songs praising cesium / caesium. There were a surprisingly high number of Francium diss tracks.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:29:51 PM
One of my favorite beach stories didn't even happen to me. The late Karl Hendricks was at a record store in Ocean City wearing a Merge Records shirt holding one of his kids' boogie boards. This was around the time he had a record out on Merge.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:30:35 PM
The guy behind the counter looked as him and said in the exact sort of voice you expect from a guy behind a counter at a record store: "Merge Records and a boogie board, you're all set."
Classy Pat
5:31:25 PM
that's funny
Jon Solomon (host)
5:31:32 PM
Karl didn't know how to respond so he left the store. I think about that every time I wear my Merge shirt (have never been boogie boarding).
Classy Pat
5:36:25 PM
this voice is very familiar
Jon Solomon (host)
5:37:25 PM
Has a bit of "Jesus & Mary Chain slowed down" going on.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:38:36 PM
This is a Patrick Cowley tune.
Classy Pat
5:39:05 PM
yeah. or like if calvin johnson could sing
Jon Solomon (host)
5:39:27 PM
Ha. What a world that would be.
Classy Pat
5:40:17 PM
i like this. super moody and spacey
Jon Solomon (host)
5:41:17 PM
I have been exploring more of the Singularity series since I enjoyed the Vanishing Twin track and the contribution from your favorite band 75 Dollar Bill very well.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:42:01 PM
I think eight of 12 have been released and this is the third I've heard in full.
Classy Pat
5:43:23 PM
nice
Jon Solomon (host)
5:45:23 PM
Neglected to mention up top that the hour three Wednesday Night Live Lookback Series session is by Remote Islands (June 2007).
Pat in South Philly
6:00:03 PM
I concur! That Hey Colossus was great!
Jon Solomon (host)
6:01:47 PM
PiSP, you sent me down this path!
Sebastian Petsu
6:02:57 PM
hello jon, hello fellow listeners!
Jon Solomon (host)
6:03:12 PM
Sebastian!
Pat in South Philly
6:03:14 PM
Well you’ve ventured much further down that path than I did. I’m going to check out more of those releases.
Jon Solomon (host)
6:03:46 PM
The Vanishing Twin is my favorite of the three I've heard in full.
Sebastian Petsu
6:04:05 PM
This is my favorite Embarassment tune
Sebastian Petsu
6:04:18 PM
no idea anyone covered it
Jon Solomon (host)
6:04:49 PM
Mine too and Ass Ponys do it great. Though I forgot existed until recently!
Pat in South Philly
6:06:04 PM
Ditto Sebastian & Jon! Love the vocal performance!
Francis
6:07:34 PM
Love these loose feeling bands. Makes me want to listen to some Silkworm
Classy Pat
6:08:13 PM
only 20+?
TAndy
6:09:28 PM
Hehehehehehehehe ass ponies
Pat in South Philly
6:10:11 PM
My pleasure sir!
Pat in South Philly
6:12:10 PM
Glad I could kinda introduce you to some thing after years of you introducing me to so many things
TAndy
6:14:55 PM
You are better off traveling via 295 if you're originating from the NJ side first. Take the Ben Franklin or Walt Whitman.
Pat in South Philly
6:16:55 PM
Superman catches a plane in the middle of a baseball stadium in the man of steel movie I think it was called. That doesn’t really count because he saved the day.
Pat in South Philly
6:17:18 PM
And doesn’t a stadium get destroyed in one of the Nolan Batman’s?
Sebastian Petsu
6:18:35 PM
wait, what did I miss? why is oven in your living room? home renovation?
Mary Jones
6:18:43 PM
Does 12 Monkeys count as Philly being destroyed?
Sebastian Petsu
6:19:41 PM
......lot less creeps on Blue Sky. You should've dropped into the Bush Tetras right then
Jon Solomon (host)
6:19:47 PM
Sebastian, I got a new oven and the delivery people refused to set up the new oven and left both the old oven and the new oven. I am thrilled about this as you can imagine!
Jon Solomon (host)
6:20:05 PM
Nolan Batman stadium is a made-up football team's stadium.
Sebastian Petsu
6:20:07 PM
but that drop into Shellac was JUST as good
Sebastian Petsu
6:20:23 PM
Dog and (Ass) Pony Show!
Jon Solomon (host)
6:20:28 PM
TAndy, that's my plan as of right now!
Jon Solomon (host)
6:21:00 PM
Not pictured: My wife drinking wine with a member of Shellac in an alley after the show.
Sebastian Petsu
6:21:44 PM
ugh, yes M and I need to get a new fridge soon and have been double and triple checking that any fridge we buy comes with installation of new and removal of old included
Classy Pat
6:21:45 PM
Shellac is the thinking man's Megadeth
Jon Solomon (host)
6:22:13 PM
I paid for both install and removal! Got neither!
richard lyons:)
6:23:23 PM
🤬
Classy Pat
6:23:31 PM
Jon I assume you know "Stove" by Lemonheads?
Mary Jones
6:25:03 PM
Jon, I don’t even know how I would handle that. Not well!
Sebastian Petsu
6:25:48 PM
double ugh, Jon. I hope it gets sorted out in your kitchen!
Jon Solomon (host)
6:26:02 PM
I am pretty sure I found the shut off valve in the basement. Because it was not right behind the stove the dudes bailed. They offered to take the stove with them and I could not imagine scheduling it a second time. Tomorrow I take [redacted box store that said would call me within 24 hours over 30 hours ago] by storm!
Ossy
6:26:31 PM
🌟🌠
Jon Solomon (host)
6:27:02 PM
Pat, I don't miss my stove because it is where I left it. Plus a bonus stove.
Mary Jones
6:27:48 PM
With that many stoves, you should open a pizza parlor.
Jon Solomon (host)
6:28:02 PM
Or host a cooking show.
richard lyons:)
6:29:19 PM
When we bought a washer and dryer from a big box store, they billed us for 2 washers and a dryer. That was a nightmare to clear up!
Jon Solomon (host)
6:29:22 PM
Catching up on the chat, I doubt the Superman Returns stadium was MLB?
Mary Jones
6:29:23 PM
So we’re moving next week and a “hired guys won’t do the job hired for” story definitely isn’t going to keep me up all night.
Jon Solomon (host)
6:30:25 PM
Richard, don't get me started on the "delivered a dryer but didn't bring the right power cable because ours was a One In Ten Thousand Unique Situation" and then tried to charge us for coming back to actually plug the flipping thing in!
Classy Pat
6:30:25 PM
two stoves. a very fancy man
Jon Solomon (host)
6:31:02 PM
One of the stoves is so new I can see the reflection of my monocle in it.
richard lyons:)
6:31:55 PM
You have had a plethora appliance woes.
Sebastian Petsu
6:32:07 PM
digging this drone. so far very 70s low budget horror film
Rofflestomp
6:33:08 PM
Droney stove sounds.
Jon Solomon (host)
6:35:20 PM
Richard, with the oven's demise (door fell off and the enamel wasn't "a part" thad can be replaced), the dryer saga and my car's engine giving up the ghost (donate your vehicles to WPRB, kids) it has been quite the 2023.
Pat in South Philly
6:36:50 PM
Almost looks like the Houston Astros logo in one shot, but I’m sure you’re right they it’s not a legit MLB team https://youtu.be/6aWxJ0cxD8c
Jon Solomon (host)
6:36:57 PM
I legally can't call this the DroneZone. Fearful of a lawsuit from Clamour Club at all times.
richard lyons:)
6:37:39 PM
😂
Classy Pat
6:39:52 PM
yikes
Jon Solomon (host)
6:40:36 PM
I think I can get away with calling it the EchoLocation?
Rofflestomp
6:41:40 PM
That sounds pretty mammal friendly.
TAndy
6:44:35 PM
God this kicks ass
Pat in South Philly
6:45:00 PM
How about Rumble Bunker? Whirr Room?
Jon Solomon (host)

It is a cool collection of sounds, also I appreciate that the piece I'm playing ("One") is not the album opener.

Jon Solomon (host)
7:13:14 PM
Is it already sold out? I need to get on that after my show.
Jon Solomon (host)
7:15:40 PM
Jen from Running Redlights was pretty jealous that I might get to see Sprints before her.
Jon Solomon (host)
7:17:15 PM
Sorry if my response came across as anything but true enthusiasm Andrew. I realize that in my rush it might have seemed like displeasure!
Dá Bəng Gôu

Jon Solomon (host)
7:43:37 PM
Roffle, is it where the Orioles play? Could be. I'll check.
Jon Solomon (host)
7:44:39 PM
Looks like it was a football game.
Jon Solomon (host)
7:44:43 PM
"The movie version is set in Baltimore--although the game action was shot at Olympic Stadium in Montreal--and the blast kills thousands."
Rofflestomp
7:45:41 PM
I would guess. I don't remember the type of game the movie depicted though. It's been a while.
Jon Solomon (host)
7:46:08 PM
Did some quick research. Sounds like they wanted it to be the Super Bowl but the NFL was not willing given what happens...
Rofflestomp
7:47:45 PM
Yeah, not the best promotion. lol

Or, I should more accurately say "off to watch my kid try and defeat the final boss in Jedi: Survivor."
Jon Solomon (host)
7:53:45 PM
I'm basically the first base coach of the game. Go left! Evade! Look out for that bedlam raider!

Watching my kid hammer boss's taught me some humility. :)

I did the heavy lifting in the first game back in 2020, now she's so much better than she was then. Really enjoy being a passenger on the ride.
