The Sonic Bloom Thu Jul 6 with Esoterica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

hi

hey

hi

howdy stevie

Hey Esoterica, hey Stevie P 👋

hey christine:)

Rest in Peace, Alan Arkin.

Calendar and wprb dot com slash chat are a bit off... Error showed Jerry G going until 1pm on calendar

"Serpentine Shel, serpentine!!"

uh oh, bri, and hii

love that movie, c!

Lemme check out that calendar issue, Brian. Stand by.

I have to re-watch it. There's such good chemistry between Alan and Peter Falk.

me, too, the best chemistry

OK, that's fixed.

thx, mike!

Alan Arkin actually has some records out there. Good version of 900 Miles. Heard that on a comp

oooh, bri, need to cue that up

Aha... the comp on which I heard the Arkin song was Boom-A-Lay (Blues & Rhythm... etc) Vol 7. Racy lp sub titles and cover art but really crazy mix of tunes on that series from Stag-O-Lee records. A bit more polished stuff than say the Las Vegas Grind comps. But some similarity.

Unfortunately our FM signal is still down due to transmitter maintenance this morning. Intonet Tube Musics continues on listen.WPRB.com

ah thx for the info, i will try to find it

true, Da Beng

Dark Entries 🖤🩶❤️

Or maybe it was Boom-A-Lay And Chug-A-Lug... etc. A collection from that Boom A- Lay series. That's probably the one i heard.

Alan Arkin won a well deserved Emmy for Yhe Love Song of Barney Kempinski.It was an ambitious but doomed Series called ABC stage 67.Lot of big name stars and classy programs.

@Dá Bəng Gôu, latest prediction was that today's outage would be around six hours. We went off just after 8 AM today, so hopefully the tower crew will be wrapping up at around 2 PM. (At which point, FM should come roaring back like a bad rash.)

cool, patrick, i never heard of that series

Alan Arkin track then the track after is Dave Brubeck "Unsquare Dance" (pops up on soundtracks that finger snapping clapping Brubeck tune)... strange their placement amongst the sleazy unknown rarities in those comps. But it works somehow

ha sounds sublime, bri

hello there!

Ya love that series. And on another universe, the Hillbillies from Hell series

howdy, andrew!

Wild wacky out there country, rockabilly, psych tinged and sometimes quite evil yet funny

love it

ESO very obscure series with high ideals low ratings.Petula Clark Peter Sellers.Bobby Darin.Did a Marilyn Monroe special .A John Le Carre work

wowwww, sounds perfect for a lazy hot summer day in the AC, patrick

This Back Up Mex... comp great too. Dark Entries scored again

yeah isn't it sweet, bri

i loved alan arkin as yossarian in catch-22. he was one of the greats

Lots of love crackles on this Lee n' Nancy record! (Reminder to self: Bring in record cleaning brush for the Barge tomorrow.)😛

haha, thx, mike! but this may be beyond saving.

hello and these crackles are a total vibe

Try washing it with dish soap and warm water. I'm serious! I've done it to beat-to-shit records many times, and it does help. There's also the woodglue trick which definitely works but requires more of a time investment. (Also: wood glue.)

Crackles ✨️

oh yeah, c

thx, mike, good tips!

i need to watch catch 22 again, andrew

I'm gonna remember that tip as well. I just hooked up the stereo in my new domicile last night which means time for operation listen to the entire record collection (unrealistic goal but whatever) I definitely have some crackle to the max records in there.

Ya heard about that wood glue method. Sounds like a fun project. Anyone who has ever loved peeling off their previously sunburned skin should love that method. You put wood glue on the record surface, smooth it out by rotating it on the tuntable (one you don't care as much about heh) and using a flat object, letting it dry.... then peeling back the wood glue skin. Like those face cleaning pore strips, it digs deep and picks up the grime in the grooves

i love how this chat is archived so i can re-read for all these tips. and hi, colin!

I have definitely re-visited archived chats of bits of information as well. WPRB, not only new jerseys only radio station, it is New Jersey's only good information station!

Hi Esoterica...great show. Loved that Buff Springfield song!

@Brian, I've tried it with reasonable success on some *really* dirty James Brown 45s I scooped at a Brooklyn stoop sale years ago. It doesn't fix scratches, but your comparison to acne treatment is spot on (pun intended.) It pulls all kinds of gunk out of the grooves and yes, it is super satisfying to peel it off a la sunburned flesh (or Elmer's glue, for the more timid.)

Good video of the process here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gyvipBs6Vs

thanks, stephen!

Thanks you. Mike Lupica, "@Dá Bəng Gôu, latest prediction was that today's outage would be around six hours. We went off just after 8 AM today, so hopefully the tower crew will be wrapping up at around 2 PM. (At which point, FM should come roaring back like a bad rash.)"

Kant wait.

feeling these summer California rock hippie styles too! now if only we could get back those west side humidity levels we had last month.

This Fleetwood Mac is excellent! Obviously early, before Stevie and Lindsey. So cool!

agree, colin and thanks

i think this bob welch penned, too, stephen

Yea, sounds like him. Agreed. So hippie!

"Patience is the strength of the weak, impatience is the weakness of the strong." --Emmanuel Kant

So true, Dá Bəng Gôu.

leaving california and straight to engerland!

yo know it, that is why they call me esoterica!

oh yeah, colin and bri. my dad loved the protest songs.

My parents had clancey brother records on often in the house. I remember them taking us to concerts as well.

Your mic break audio is low low volume

I thought it was a dead air moment. but mic volume is super low.

FM is back on the air

Still low but a bit better

Yes, mic audio is super low.

Unrelated to FM status

how about now?

I LOVE IT WHEN DJs SING ON THE AIR!

yay!!

Please do a legal station ID now that we are back on the air

will do!!

Hi Esoterica! Last week during your show I put together a small Rubbermaid shed. Today I replaced the flush valve on a toilet in my house. I wonder what household improvement I will accomplish next week during The Sonic Bloom....?

ha, parrscream!!

excellent

Thanks Colin and Mike for confirming! Now I know I'm not alone... this happens all the time. In campus studio and sometimes at the Barge ya. I keep music volume at a nice level at work. I hear the lyrics, music great then.... whisper quiet DJ voice... Ya it was way better at the end there Eso w the hello dollys!

sweet! thx bri, i think my levels were better for the majority of the show, tho, right?

That's better. Why'd you stop singing?

Ya it was just that last break where you were quiet. The headphones I think that explains a lot.

colin, my folks took me to the clancys too

sweet, bri

laters gaters!

see ya, colin!

thx, everyone, fo rstopping by

take care!
