The Sonic Bloom Thu Jul 20 with Esoterica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

hi

Hey Eso, Golden Apples are a great way to start the afternoon!

howdy, bud! i think so... glad you stopped by. i was getting the feeling everyone is on vacay.

Well, it is that time of year...

yup. in fact freddie will be filling in for me next week. heading to the beach:)

are you going anywhere fun this summer?

In a few weeks I'll be heading to England to catch the Cropredy festival!

wow, who will be at that fest?

Fairport Convention hosts every year, and there are always interesting obscure English bands. Other headliners are Nile Rodgers/Chic and 10cc.

oh sweet

just saw nile rodgers in a restaurant on the upper west side

ha!

unmistakable look

✨️Lovely Sparks! ✨️

hi christine!

Thanks for the Sparks, Esoterica! Their show at the Keswick was awesome!

Hi, Eso!

love this song but i don't think i ever played it before on the show.

hi shane!

Ther show at the Keswick was fantastic, for sure.

you are welcome. sorry i missed them at the keswick

Kimono my House!

oh yeah, bri

👘 ➡️ 🏡

Yeah, Sparks were pretty fantastic for a couple guys in their mid-70s!

i bet!

Classic social commentary from the Tubes. Your host, Fee Waybill!

i love the tubes, yeah fee has a way with words and social commentary

Was really into that Completion Backward Principle lp when it came out (Talk to you Later was the hit). The lp back cover had them all in business suits and their credits looked like stuffy business bios. Great humor

This song and White Punks on Dope have some parallels with FZ and the Mothers def

yes def

Not the music style necessarily but the way they comment, spoof etc

i get that and tight musical prowess approaches M of I

Ya that too and the emphasis on really putting on a SHOW! Not just staring down at the floor. Saw the Tubes at a big multi band show in Philly as a teen (aka the JFK Jams). Really great stage show. Especially Fee W

for sure! bri

wow that must have been amazing!

Ya he gets "shot", fake blood etc. Hey Sports Fans had lots of props. No props thrown for White Punks on Dope tho... that might have caused legal troubles

Good Robyn lp this s/t one.

agree, bri

on both counts

cool little track here. I was waiting for the water from your eyes-ness of this track to kick in, and it sure did

Hi Es and yeah, Mona is sure a cute name!

MrM 💀, please report.

Hey hey tight jams for all the dry wallers in NJ

Speaking of the name "Mona". There's a notable cute character in the Super Mario franchise with that name! 🧡https://www.mariowiki.com/Mona

Steven Mcdonald did that great 'art project' where he was so into the then new White Stripes lp that he added his own bass lines to the songs and uploaded it as "RED Blood Cells". Fun to hear his version

Caused a frenzy of downloads

hey dustin!

I’m hear for it! ❤️❤️

oh yeah

:)

now this is some good job site jams here!

yeah keep that pep in your step!

Es - Also found many Mona meanings - "little noble one", "aristocratic" desire and wish" "lasting forever"

sweet, os!

That franchise named Warioware in the Mario series, was clever having that particular Mona char, lol

given her personality!

Hey love your show!! Good tunes got me grooving working !!

hey cody!

sweet! glad you like

Been liking the Geese lp here

so fun, bri

Volume shifts ...

how about now

Oh it went right back up ok

Just a weird dip to quiet for few seconds

ok thx

Great new hi res reissues of Tom's 80s 90s lps. Swordfish... to Black Rider.

Sweet, Bri

This LP was huge back in summer of 89

oh yeah, love patton doing this cover

Very faithful

true

he has such good vocal chops, i know everyone knows that but...lol

Their cover of Commodores Easy later was fun too

totally, bri, i have played that on my covers theme show

Ah The Carpenters, which I hear at most during Christmas season on B.101.1

The OG Barbie movie: https://youtu.be/FmY5mTmrsVI

Karen Carpenter was a powerhouse drummer when she first started with her brother. Check out old videos on YouTube .

didn't the Tubes have a guitar with a body shaped like the letter "O"

True, Brian. have you seen the Todd Haynes doc? It is sad and disturbing. But affetcing.

affecting

That Billie song 🥺

and this playing now

yeah gets me, dustin. i once sang it at a memorial service.

sweet, os, glad you like

It’s THAT kind of song

yup

and the fact that it came out in 1944 during WWII is emotional.

Alan Parsons Project

thx, bri! it is pretty catchy

Love listening to Sonic Bloom. Never misses! 🥰

Is it titled Games People Play ? Long synth intro. Sports bcasts will use the intro i think

sweet, jason!

thx so much!! glad you l ike

Was just wondering today when your show started when you'd play some early black n white lp cover Blue Öyster Cult.

Seems about due and there it was

ha! the lyrics are a little kooky on that baby ice dog but oh well...

Ooo and this one. Classic older siblings in the attic lp listening these 2 back to back

yeah you are right!

Halloween party background music

i like to sing is it my body for karaoke

which i of course sing ironically haha

bri this is the song not me! lol

Yesterday, I heard an Alice Cooper rendition of the MC5's "Sister Ann" recorded in 2019.

cool, david! where did you hear it

On that other NJ music station I listen to.

Crazy cover deconstruction by Ferry as usual

yup, haha

Dobie and Ramsey famous versions very diff

totally

I heard it too David but i thought it was MC5 with Lemmy from Motorhead on vocals

whoa

Another busy day, just checking in and saying Hi!

hi, tom!

thx for stopping by

Holy guacamole great setlist! Ween, Agent Orange, & FNM! 👍

yo, mattster! i aim to please! oh yeah and i play what i love

I missed Louis Prima Junior's free Monday show in Springwood Park (in Asbury Park). He was born after his daddy split with Keely Smith.

interesting, david

I recall lousy weather deterred me from seeing the Minutemen at City Gardens in 1985. Oh well, I thought, I'll catch them next time.

The other Jim Sullivan

Up and away he went

But no.

Probably perished in the desert

Thank you Light in the Attic and wprb. Never would have known

Another Great Show today... Just poppin' in to say Thanx! Really enjoyed it
