TAndy
8:39:28 PM
I can dig this
DJ Tenderloin
8:41:08 PM
no worries CF - everything so far is sounding great. Would "globe of frogs" from Robyn Hitchcock count theme wise? Also - work has begun on the Planet of the Apes mix!
Commie Francis (host)
8:43:33 PM
it's pretty sad that barf on a globe by sockeye is just an album and not a song
Scooter France
8:49:39 PM
Barf on a globe is a lyric from the Sockeye song "Maureen", but it's not playable on the radio really, and not really about a globe or anything curcular
DJ Tenderloin
8:49:57 PM
this song is great! man i love this period of rock n roll. just before everything went flower power. I was born in 1966!
Scooter France
8:53:01 PM
Yes Darvocets!

Reg Presley (Troggs) spent his entire fortune on crop circles and the belief there of.

Ha I'll take it, and love the show Francis! You know , not too long ago repped your show to Danbert Nobacon at a show on Philly, he was into it! Love to spread the word
Scooter France
9:16:57 PM
I got the Inu record in the mail today. So good!
Commie Francis (host)
9:17:04 PM
oh that was you! he contacted me! thanks for that!
Commie Francis (host)
9:17:22 PM
omg i love it, so happy it has an on theme song!
Commie Francis (host)
9:18:54 PM
this song reminds me a lot of the stalin
Commie Francis (host)
9:19:01 PM
the inu song that is
Scooter France
9:20:27 PM
yeah, it does sound like the Stalin at times, but on other tracks it really doesn't sound like the Stalin. the lp hangs together somehow despite being all over the place in differennt punk/post punk styles
Commie Francis (host)
9:20:53 PM
yeah it feels like a band going from like 1977-1983 or so but it was just one record in one year
DJ Tenderloin
9:21:38 PM
the berkeley kites could be the best hippie band name ever. omg - love that song
the_dude
9:26:30 PM
Definitely got the Stalin from them too - and haha yes, so cool he reached out!
Ambrose Hughes
9:27:05 PM
@Commie, how about some Steelers Wheel?
Commie Francis (host)
9:27:34 PM
i don't do themed band names, only song titles/lyrics!
Ambrose Hughes
9:30:54 PM
👍
Commie Francis (host)
9:32:18 PM
can you tell i've had this record since high school haha
DJ Tenderloin
9:34:34 PM
I almost saw rites of spring. like most dischord bands of that period by the time the vinyl comes out the band is already history.
Ambrose Hughes
9:40:46 PM
Thanks for the J.R. ....what an Artist!
DJ Tenderloin
9:42:22 PM
hey AH - JR is totally the highlight of the todd haynes VU doc - if you haven't seen it, so worth it, especially for JR's recollections of VU shows
