Hello TAndy!
Brian D 3:03:03 PM
Thunder fireworks going on with the Sousa at same time very nicely
Harry (host) 3:04:12 PM
i always get ambushed by the rain when i'm down here
Sur Tizzle 3:05:07 PM
Ha Brian, It just adds more dimension to the music! 3D music
Harry (host) 3:11:06 PM
Hope you guys are enjoying the show. Trying something a bit different this week!
iamthelabhras 3:11:19 PM
I am here. I am listening. I am ready to roll in my own filth with you all other hogs.
iamthelabhras 3:11:36 PM
Are we getting a second dose of Liggoti this week Harry?
Harry (host) 3:12:12 PM
Not quite, but the subject matter is similarly dark
TAndy 3:12:19 PM
Loving it so far
iamthelabhras 3:13:44 PM
Sounds good to me Harry. Let's gooooooo.
iamthelabhras 3:15:00 PM
The skyline was beautiful on fire / All twisted metal stretching upwards / Everything washed in a thin orange haze
Harry (host) 3:15:33 PM
ooh some gybe might be nice if i can find a place to put them
iamthelabhras 3:16:23 PM
Might be rough Harry. I think the one I just quote is, like 20 minutes long?
iamthelabhras 3:16:48 PM
Well clearly I can't type today.

iamthelabhras 3:21:01 PM
Speaking of dark, anybody ever listen to any Lowlife? I think their song "Swing" is great piece of depressive music.
Harry (host) 3:21:50 PM
i'm not familiar with them
iamthelabhras 3:23:19 PM
Check 'em out if you're so inclined. Mid '80s to late '90s Scottish band. Their bassist, Will Heggie, was also in the Cocteau Twins.
Harry (host) 3:26:44 PM
will do!
Susan Gorman 3:32:01 PM
"Let's coat these tents with paraffin and gasoline! That'll work great to waterproof them, especially on really hot days" *headdesk
TAndy 3:33:12 PM
Jeez
Susan Gorman 3:34:31 PM
Especially with all the smokers in and around the tent....
Harry (host) 3:34:39 PM
The paraffin & gasoline was actually common practice at time.
Harry (host) 3:34:55 PM
Smoking was banned at circuses following the fire
Harry (host) 3:35:44 PM
Fire inspectors suspect it was caused by a dropped cigarette, but no one knows what happened or saw the fire start. Arson was ruled out, which I'll touch on later
DubNP 3:48:31 PM
94 was a golden year.
Harry (host) 3:49:45 PM
truly!
TAndy 3:51:13 PM
Thundering once again, fitting mood for the music
Harry (host) 3:55:05 PM
i hope it stops before i have to walk home
TAndy 3:57:21 PM
One cell headed toward Mercer now and a huge blob as long as from Coatesville to Warrington heading northeast, wishing u the best of luck
