The Sonic Bloom Thu Aug 3 with Esoterica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

hi

Hey Girl! LIstening while reviewing test data!

nice! what are you testnig??

sp

hey girl yourself:) kim

I am reviewing test data for language notifications when boarding loans. Boring stuff.

But I have to create automation test scripts for it for my goals, and I suck at automation.

So it's hateful work right now.

Glad you had fun on the coast! sounds wonderful.

lotta fun! hangingon the beach, walking, saw the sunset, ate fish! what is not to like?

the Jersey shore (like actually staying there with family) is such a tradition for people from NJ and PA, more so than SoCal I'd say

others are here

Just checking in to say Hi and there’s no beach here in Phoenix..

@ Esoterica (host) Okay, here I am, increasing the chat by 33 % !

@ Esoterica (host) OK, with Gautham Kalva 's welcomed arrival, I guess I added only about 25% ... but the more the merrier ...

Gautham, it's beach, just LOTS of beach.

hi gautham, francis, and richard. thx for stopping by!

Hey DJE.

Really great music today, well, always!

thx, kenneth!

"Sherman's March" can be digitally borrowed from a library via Kanopy.

cool, david! i recall enjoying that film

hey stevie p!

Hello Fellow Bloomers! I love this Heron Oblivian album so much. It seems to have been a one-off though... I wonder why they didn't record beyond that 2016 album?

howdy t!

i don't know why either, they are amzizng

amazing

Hey DJ Esoterica first time tuned in for a minute bc I get to work from home today. Killer show today

Someone tell me more about Equipment Pointed Ankh

Hello ! Welcome back !

Been listening since the start of the block it’s great!

Hey Esoterica! How was the beach?

What beach did you hit?

I love Ventnor too Esoterica! My dad used to take us for day trips all of the time when we were kids.

Sea isle city is so great

My parents live in North Wildwood and we were down last weekend! Maybe we passed each other and didn't know it!

Wildwood beats them all. Great boardwalk, Schellinger's seafood restaurant.

hey rob, i need to go to schellingers, never been

wow, parrscream! possibly. we were late trying tp get food, so ended up at this crazily jammed place called owen's. but also got sandiwhces at russo's

Sing it girl!

yeah it is, spang! SIC that is

WHAT?!?!?! Owen's is practically in my backyard!!! DARN IT!!!

ha! parr!

We go to Owen's all of the time. I totally would have bought you many rounds of drinks for always playing such awesome music and making my Thursday afternoons so enjoyable.

aw thx, parrscream!

do you go outside at owen's?

this was last friday night, there was a nice guy playing music

Hey Esoterica! Was down Ocean Grove/ Asbury for a few nights not long ago. You're right going to the shore is a THING here, whereas in CA it's like, just something lol

Ethan Miller rocks

hey dsm! totally

love ethan miller!

@DSM - yeah - my wife's from L.A., when in NJ it took her a day to realize going down the shore was a little different than going to the beach

exactly Francis haha

Esoterica, would love one of your future interviews to be with Ethan if possible, bet he's got some interesting tales to tell

that is a great idea, dsm! i will see what i can do

woot woot!

DUNGEN!

yo, bri!!'

yup:)

I learned it's Swedish for"grove" or "orchard". (Sounds kinda like doon-yin)

thanks, bri!! i will pronounce it correctly now;)

Love what they do. But this lp probably the fave

i amgoing to have to dig into much more dungen

Eso - The outside at Owen's offifically opened like a month ago. And it doesn't open until 4:00 most days I think.... Thus, I've only been out there one time.... been hitting the inside at Owen's since my parents moved down there like 20 years ago....

cool! parrscream. what do you eat there?

I recommend the Dungen with the two people dancing on the cover in front of a barn. Not sure what it's called tho sorry haha

Ha, I thought I was hearing Les Claypool's voice until the typical Residents backup vocals chimed in on that last tune!

my just-turned 21 yr old son got served there bc he had his ID but his sister was teed off bc the waitress almost didn't serve her and she is 23. she forgot her ID. all ended well and she got her cocktail. haha

Oh, and welcome back, Eso!

@ parrscream

howdy, bud! ha!

thanks very much, bud

Have you ever played Mike Oldfield from back in the 70s? He made Tubular Bells for The Exorcist but his other music is very interesting. My brother Jimmy turned me on to it when I was a kid.

This music reminds me of it.

yes i have played oldfield for halloween, what a talent he was...

def played tubular bells

loving this EPA stuff!

they're even saying my name! ;)

yeah me, too, russell!:)

had to do a second play

of this album

Take a listen to Hergest Ridge

will do, kim! thx

Each night Owen's has a special. I usually stick with those

cool, parrscream, i will keep it in mind. alas, don't think i will be back in awhile

or *for awhile i shoud say

typos!

I'm seconding or thirding the love for Equipment Pointed Ankh. And this new KG full-on metal record!

hey there dje

Darn it!

howdy, andrew!

Recently saw Gizzard at Red Rocks again. Love the metal records!

this is my favorite kglw album from the last 12 months

Going to Ween tonight at Red Rocks!

@andrew, funny that you had to limit that to 12 months to narrow it down

@Andrew, the last 12 months is like 5 KGLW records, right?

Ween is always a blessing

@bud, there have been at least that many!

@sur....you got that right! ween is probably the best live band there is!

Clutch

yup:)

civic at johnny brendas this october!

sweet!!

gotta get there, andrew!

Any Frankie and the Witchfingers today? I'm coming out that way for the Philly and CT shows end of September

yeah sure, sur!

I got to witness that guy from the Residents lighting years ago at The French Academy in NYC. It was their History of Rock show. Giant Elvis Frankenstein unwinds a girl who's wrapped in day glow tape during their version of "Teddy Bear". Truly unique theatrical experience. I turned around in my seat to find Laurie Anderson and Lou Reed sitting in the row behind us.

Very cool Brian!

hey brian, wow, so cool

The Residents remind me of the Bread and Puppet Theater.

totally i went to bread and puppet in 1988

I saw their show about Move.

wow

that would be compelling

If you lived in Philly in 1985 you'd know about Move.

yes of course, terrible

@Eso - What restaurant did you work at in Burlington?

Carbur's, Parrscream

Hi Es

hi os!

How are things

doing fine, and you?

Great, preparing for vacation

This song I remember

CIVIC shouldn’t be confused with Civic Mimic, who are playing tonight at “In The West” in New Brunswick (with Substitute, Classic Traffic and Zorp).

lol - same riff from the GoGos - I got the beat

These tracks bounce and jitter like they want to dance, but then tip sideways into lush string synth lyricism, inscrutable spoken word, and, in one cases, the sound of soda sucked through a straw."
