Habitat Enrichment

Aug 17, 2023 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Music

With Krista

Habitat Enrichment is the concept of introducing novelty to an animal's enclosure to keep it from getting bored or sad. Let me play you something fun. Genres span world and time, just like a cat with a box to play in.

Some specialties you can usually hear a little on my show: Luk Thuong, 60s crooners, cow punk, and synthwave. If you don't like the song currently playing, wait approximately 2 minutes for something else!

Krista can you play "Taking Bong Rips in the Tombs of the Blind Dead" by Population Reduction?
Richard from Rocky Hill 10:17:05 AM
@ Krista (host) Former NY Times senior book critic Michiko Kakutani is an owl lover? And a devotee of Flaco of Central Park? And wrote that wing-swept and ear-tufted appreciation? TOOOOO much! Only buy listening to NJ's (and the world's) only radio station would we digest such tidbits, more substantial even than Flaco's preferred meal of a plump NYC rat.

“Mattguyver!” I’ll be yelling that every time I read your messages!!
Krista (host) 10:19:31 AM
you can tell when he says "bayou," Brian, that's a pronounciation I've heard from Mound Bayou, Mississippi
Brian D 10:19:33 AM
Then there's the Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man duet w Loretta & Conway . Classic that
Mattgruber 🥬🍑 10:20:13 AM
Lol MrM. I have seen every episode of old school MacGuyver 🤣😂
Krista (host) 10:21:00 AM
mattguyver, I definitely need to preview that first as I'm unfamiliar, I'll put in on the list for next week. Pretty much describes my character in Baldur's Gate 3 tho, a halfling wizard
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 10:22:00 AM
Mattguyver! How about the new one? What about MacGruber⚠️⁉️
Mattgruber 🥬🍑 10:22:24 AM
Lol thanx Krista. It's a 2-man grind band from norCal. Good guys. On Tankcrimes label, I think
Mattgruber 🥬🍑 10:22:55 AM
MacGruber rules 🥬🍑 @mrm
Brian D 10:23:09 AM
That pic of Richard Dean Anderson standing by his broken down car w/ hood up on cell phone looking distressed was a fun one. Pre meme saturation era good fun. As in, why can't Macgyver just fix his car w chewing gum and a pencil eraser etc..
Brian D 10:25:01 AM
Go get 'em McGarnagle! (And tie an onion to your belt... )
Mattgruber 🥬🍑 10:25:11 AM
I once opened my gf's locked-keys-in-car w/ a mop handle & tape on an Oakland street, was very proud of that
Krista (host) 10:26:16 AM
as was the style at the time (the onion)
Brian D 10:28:04 AM
You're off the case McGarnagle!! No! You're off YOUR case chief!!
Mattgruber 🥬🍑 10:29:40 AM
MacGuyver OG predicted Trump. They have an episode about rise of alt-right in politics. This was back in 1980s!
Mattgruber 🥬🍑 10:31:33 AM
Krista have you read Baldur's Gate book by Matt Bell?
Krista (host) 10:31:57 AM
I haven't, Mattgruber
Brian D 10:32:31 AM
Friend/ bandmate helped me out with locked keys in car. We drove back to his joint in Lambtvl area to grab a long thin steel rod (machine shop on same site where he lived) . 6-7 ft maybe 1/4 thick. Got it in passenger window on angle, no breakage, perfect line to click the lock open on driver door. Let me keep that. Never had to use again
Mattgruber 🥬🍑 10:33:39 AM
Brian D that's exactly what I did in Oakland CA! 💪

Mattgruber 🥬🍑 10:36:41 AM
Brian D I know of Mean Ween. Awesome story!

Krista nice job on Bruce! Nebraska is a masterpiece. Brian D-- recorded on a Tascam 4tracl like early Ween!
Krista (host) 10:43:40 AM
that's amazing, Brian. My celebrity assistance story is that Bon Iver is from the same area of Wisconsin as me (Brackett, the name of one of his songs, is where most of my family lives) and he was friends of a friend. He gave me a ride to the library in high school.

Brian D 10:45:17 AM
Oh... C----r was not a celebrity in my world heh! A friend and great bass player. He's busy these days .
Krista (host) 10:45:53 AM
Justin wasn't a celebrity at the time, either, just a guy who gave guitar lessons and performed at the local coffee shop in Eau Claire
Mattgruber 🥬🍑 10:46:13 AM
Brian I know exactly who you mean. He's on "Candi" on Choc & Cheez, Gene/Aaron told me.
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 10:46:33 AM
Enjoying the show! Big thanks, DJ Krista!
Brian D 10:47:12 AM
I called him when I locked the keys since he was the most MacGyver-ish of all the friends/ band mates.
Amy Erma Lee 10:47:17 AM
Damn. Channeling the awesomeness of O.V. Wright.
Brian D 10:53:16 AM
Got to see Justin/ Bon Iver open up for Black Mountain about 15 years ago. Right before his big 1st lp. Had a good small band. No idea who he was and really loved his set. Black Mountain was great that night. Johnny Brenda's. Probably 1st time i went there. Bands were Jagjaguwar records label mates.
Mattgruber 🥬🍑 10:54:26 AM
Black Mtn! I saw Primus recently and wished BM was the opener, instead of who it was.
Brian D 10:56:51 AM
I thought they didn't tour this year... i heard he is or did tour w Frog Brigade this year
Mattgruber 🥬🍑 10:57:54 AM
Black Mtn opened for Primus on some dates last summer, but I missed them where I was seeing Primus (upstate NY).
Brian D 11:01:05 AM
Ah the Rush thing ya. Tailgated a few songs near end o show in Asbury on the boardwalk last summer. Sounded good. Southbound Pachyderm echoing off the waves...
Colin 11:02:25 AM
Hot dog for lunch, hot dog for dinner Don't eat breakfast, I am no beginner
Mattgruber 🥬🍑 11:03:26 AM
The Rush stuff was great. The politicizing Les did-- not so great. I've seen Primus countless times, as they opened for EVERYONE in CA in 1980s. They always sound good. And are funny.

Arthur was great. Many great songs. Brit Invasion bands loved him. Had a brief brief career resurgence in the 90s. Ben Vaughan helped on a comeback lp. But Arthur passed soon after
