Good Morning from Santee CA! <3

Hey CA!

kicking things off with a little touch of schmilsson in the afternoon!

OMG! I'm so glad you have that memory! awww... good times...

do you remember thta?

that

howdy russell

:)

RIP Rick 3 I was actually thinking of you because you had just played hot snakes on your show.. and then it was maybe the next day or two that he passed. So sad

yeah i couldn't believe i played HS right before i heard he passed, too. i never met him but he was a couple of years younger than me

loved his music

heyo!

howdy andrew!

I do remember! I haven't been back to that boys orphanage since I was a kid. It's located in Tecate. My dad volunteered doing their radio stuff(short wave) and other maintenance chores. Such a good example for me.

We used to throw candy out the kids living in the shanties down the road.

wow, that was a fun trip. haven't been to tecate in forever.

It's too scary for me. The older I get, the less brave I am. LOL

last time i was in puerto nuevo was 1996. always loved that drive

lotsa great memories form 70s and 80s 90s eating lobster and rice and beans, tortillas

from

We are back on the air as of 12:28 PM!

thx, mike

Yay Mike! Something to listen to in the car.

yup, stevie p

Me and my husband took the kids a couple of times to Puerto Nuevo and we would do romantic drives to Ensenada, but we haven't done that since covid.

sweet

@kim

WOOHOO always love my Dino Jr

Good afternoon Esoterica! I've decided to keep the streak alive and do some household chore during your show. This week I'm putting together a new Edger that I bought last weekend.

sweet, parrscream!

howdy, francis! cool, glad you like

Lots o good tunes today - sorry that work got i nthe way to me listening

Hello Eso. Holy volume fluctuations Batman.. last track by Dino Jr went way down and up a bit and then down at the end

ha, sorry about that!

hi bri

thx, frnacis

on radio or streaming. Sounded normal streaming to me

francis

Streaming. Volume definitely went a bit wacky at end as Eso confirmed there

could have been human error lol

Hello !

howdy, tom!

no fluctations since, bri?

Nah just that one time all good

Ha.. think all the original Latin speakers are long gone and only they could confirm on pronunciation..

haha bri

Classic here

oh yeah

Ooo that's right Welshpool Frillies coming out soon. New GBV !

sweet! huh, bri

that lifeguard song was great

Lifeguard played a crazy This Heat cover when they played at Johnny Brenda's last year. they're pretty good

nice! looks like they're playing Ukie Club next week.. bummed I won't be in town to catch them

yeah, that is right! i knew I read that, russell

They're playing in Central Park with Horsegirl too. Going to that one!

wow, andrew! when?

and hi!

Thursday the 20th

hi! same Andrew as before! spinitron is being difficult!

Hi Es, great reggae song, Was Born A Winner

hi os, cool!

Grabbed a good "new" release of old school sweet sounding Reggae recently "Dennis Alcapone & Lizzy: Soul To Soul - DJs Choice". Really nice stuff

nice, bri, will check out

This is an absolute fav of mine.

Bruce! old skool

oh yeah, all crackly

me, too, amy

When I realized what I walked in on, Unforgiven, I thought of the contrast between two versions of a more significant song by two artists higher in the sonic pantheon, Leonard Cohen's pained agony versus Ruin's almost sardonic anger on Famous Blue Raincoat.

So I LOVE Immigrant Song from Led Zeppelin, kind of disappointed in this cover. Need more bass.

me, too! kim

Yes, inimpressive thete.

hi mike!

interesting take, mike

ola eso.te.rica

hola

Metallica's Unforgiven is much angrier than the cover here, which seemed to have a more blase sense of resignation, perhaps a sense of partial resolution to the anger.

This is interesting reaction to something...https://youtu.be/ndipwGvyt9M

yeah i see thta, mike, the much angrier part

to a similar piece from the same period

right

this is some good CV! hello all. I'm listening but work requires too much of my limited brain power so i had to sacrifice chat time. Love the selections!

thx, colin!!

Great bands & band names throughout the set!! Been listening while driving with the windows down... & the music up! Thank you!, DJE!!

awesome, IP!!

you are very welcome

Love this new Dom F lp. He took some diff paths on this one. Very diverse

Hear ya next week! ;)

He is great. Was in the Carolina Chocolate Drops for a while there. Very knowledgeable musician.

Hey Esoterica, loved that Don Flemons song, can you please point me to the review you read

Highly recommend his other lps too

thx, bri

In what part of the Carroll book does the Dormouse say "Feed your head"?

idk, david and hey:)

hi gautham

thx for stopping by, everyone

For more of the vein of the Dom F song played today, check out all of Jim White's lps. Especially ... Wrong Eyed Jesus. Long title shortened

But Dom"s other songs and lps are very diff from the song heard today. Which is great

another great show! thank you!

thx, russell!

thanks eso! killer show

thx for the info, bri

thx andrew!!

see ya next week

But you know, they’re all musically trained, so the standard’s set so high. A lot of people are in awe of them and try to follow suit.” Grace believes this blind adoration “isn’t good for South London music” and its authenticity. “We’re trying to write something that’s ignoring what everyone else is doing and make it a sonic representation of who we are as people and what influences us, be it art, film or poetry.”
