Jen Redlights (host) 3:26:13 PM
hey guys, do the levels sound ok so far? got a little odd on my end. or i'm going deaf.
Dan Ruccia 3:27:20 PM
Hey Jen! Sounds ok, but then I just tuned in.
Dan Ruccia 3:29:00 PM
Ok, now that you're talking, that last one was definitely low
Colin 3:30:35 PM
agrees with dan, mic level a little higher than music.
Colin 3:30:55 PM
sounds like a party!!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:31:21 PM
ok, thanks, both! trying to figure out what's up
Jen Redlights (host) 3:31:30 PM
quicksand party will definitely be a blast!
Colin 3:32:59 PM
levels are balanced nicely now
Jen Redlights (host) 3:33:29 PM
great, thanks for letting me know!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:33:40 PM
also, hi @dan!
Colin 3:43:50 PM
gotta check some more Marnie Stern, those guitar chops were pretty tight.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:45:04 PM
She is new to me, but not new to scene -- though apparently this is her first record in 10 years! She's a maniac!
Jon Solomon 3:54:20 PM
Jen! I am back from a 45 minute walk and I storm into the chat with NEWS!
Zapshifter X 3:54:37 PM
Hello
Jon Solomon 3:54:44 PM
There is new Arcwelder music out TODAY! I have yet to press play but this is their first release in ~25 years.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:55:19 PM
hello, @zapshifter, and @jon WHAT ARE THE ODDS that i picked today to play an arcwelder record?? I had ZERO idea they were putting out new music. Yay!!!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:55:34 PM
our mind meld appears to be working
Rob from Maryland 3:55:51 PM
Happy birthday to Jen-brother
Jen Redlights (host) 3:56:20 PM
haha @rob, i will pass that along!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:56:32 PM
@jon who is releasing said record? i must hear it!
Jon Solomon 3:56:43 PM
https://arcwelder1.bandcamp.com/
Jon Solomon 3:57:02 PM
Sorry, is on a different Bandcamp than their albums for some reason or another...
Dan Ruccia 3:57:37 PM
Their website promises 6 new songs in January: https://www.arcwelderband.com/new-music-2023
Jen Redlights (host) 3:57:38 PM
ahhhhhhhh!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:58:18 PM
that is so insane! i love arcwelder!!
Rob from Maryland 3:58:19 PM
Jen, I was briefly wondering if you were going to play Altered Images "Happy Birthday"
Jen Redlights (host) 3:58:30 PM
oooh i don't have that, i don't think!
Roffle 4:03:55 PM
Just enjoying this last hour of ear candy Jen, thanks for this!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:05:32 PM
hey, @roffle, glad you could tune in!
Colin 4:13:12 PM
terry gross for the win again and again.
Dan Ruccia 4:13:16 PM
Good to know that the other Terry Gross tracks are just as fantastic as the one Jon played the other day
Jon Solomon 4:13:49 PM
I played them because I learned the exact same thing via Jen's show a couple weeks back.
Jon Solomon 4:14:12 PM
Also, I saw there's now a band named Ira Glass and they have to play a show with Terry Gross or everything's wrong with this universe.
Colin 4:14:56 PM
seriously, this track gets hotter by the second.
Colin 4:16:01 PM
whether you show up for the npr hosts or you show up for the bands everybody is a winner with that show.
Dan Ruccia 4:16:57 PM
Need to get the actual people there too so Ira Glass can interview Terry Gross and visa versa
Dan Ruccia 4:17:14 PM
(clearly it would be the bands interviewing the people)
Jen Redlights (host) 4:17:53 PM
hahahaha Ira Glass !! that is great
Jen Redlights (host) 4:18:13 PM
and yes, COVID was good for one thing, and that's a lot of great music
Rob from Maryland 4:18:13 PM
@Jon 4:14, that's too much!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:18:38 PM
i think that interview series would break the internet
Colin 4:18:59 PM
welcome to science friday where we talk about facemelting.
Rob from Maryland 4:19:26 PM
I agree, Jen, re the interview series
Rob from Maryland 4:19:51 PM
Ira Glass the band should perform on/for Science Friday
Dan Ruccia 4:20:19 PM
Different Ira! That's Ira Flatow
Dá Bəng Gôu 4:20:25 PM
Mushroom.
Dan Ruccia 4:20:29 PM
Quick, let's form a band called Ira Flatow
Rob from Maryland 4:20:35 PM
https://iraglass.bandcamp.com/album/demo
Roffle 4:20:49 PM
This American Life indeed
Rob from Maryland 4:21:01 PM

richard lyons:) 4:42:45 PM

Dan Ruccia 4:45:42 PM
Shoot, I was washing dishes and missed the new Sprints??
Jen Redlights (host) 4:46:31 PM
ah nuts, Dan! but I predict you will hear a LOT of that band in future weeks/months
Dan Ruccia 4:49:01 PM
They're on my list for today's Bandcamp Friday!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:50:18 PM
outstanding!!
Alan Pasnyk 4:50:24 PM
Hey Jen! Thanks for the tunes on the FM; music to shave by, 'cause i was starting to look like a Swamp Monster..
Rob from Maryland 4:51:09 PM
This was a great show, Jen, thanks!!
Alan Pasnyk 4:51:25 PM
Also that Liiek track was Fantastic!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:51:30 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:51:45 PM
