DJ Readie 3:03:07 PM
Totally Tob!
John Tobias (host) 3:03:20 PM
that's right, here we go
John Tobias (host) 3:05:27 PM
My personal tech problems are fixed. Yes, I don't believe in jinxing.
DJ Readie 3:06:54 PM
@Tob- that's good news!
John Tobias (host) 3:07:11 PM
we'll see.
DJ Readie 3:09:57 PM
🤞🤞
Andrew Chalfen 3:21:21 PM
This thing is, in fact, on.
John Tobias (host) 3:23:20 PM
good to know
TAndy 3:27:28 PM
love this singing voice
John Tobias (host) 3:28:06 PM
same
Rob from Merryland 🦅 3:29:56 PM
Hey, it's Blake Babies!
Andrew Chalfen 3:30:46 PM
Janglepop is not a bad word.
Rob from Merryland 🦅 3:31:54 PM
Indeed!
John Tobias (host) 3:34:51 PM
it's a good word, right
John Tobias (host) 3:39:27 PM
decade hop check language hop check
Andrew Chalfen 3:46:39 PM
I feel like everyone who heard The Flatmates "Shimmer" then went and started a band.
John Tobias (host) 3:50:18 PM
I'll go back to that after the show to check it out
David Shortell 3:50:54 PM
When did Winston Churchill's V-for-Victory gesture become known as a "peace sign"?
John Tobias (host) 3:51:16 PM
more investigation needed
David Shortell 3:54:38 PM
I actually had planned to go into the East Village last night, but it was freezing out. (The Elevator Operators and French Boutik were playing at the Francis Kite Club on Avenue C).
John Tobias (host) 3:58:21 PM
Your list of gigs seen must be astronomical
g jackson 4:23:49 PM
Nooooo One Foot Out The Door!!!!!!!!!
John Tobias (host) 4:24:13 PM
maybe next time
g jackson 4:24:45 PM
Cool. Really I'm well over VH. But that Eddie outtro solo on that is awesome
John Tobias (host) 4:25:50 PM
yeah, it kinda matches our weather right now
g jackson 4:27:27 PM
Ahh the weather. Every one knows it's windy..,. 'Course that song took on a whole new meaning after Breaking Bad.
John Tobias (host) 4:27:52 PM
agreed
g jackson 4:27:56 PM
But maybe
g jackson 4:28:27 PM
Not. That song wasn't originally about the weather either
David Shortell 4:34:41 PM
I wonder who’s the blonde portraying Windy in this film? https://youtube.com/watch?v=F_asDtq__d8
John Tobias (host) 4:37:36 PM
I will investigate when I'm off the air. Can't look now.
David Shortell 4:39:50 PM
I don’t know about the “Breaking Bad” scene with “Windy”. Is it like Billy Batts getting fatally stomped to Donovan’s “Atlantis” in “Goodfellas”? Or the cop getting his ear cut off to Stealers Wheel‘s “Stuck in the Middle with You” in “Reservoir Dogs”?
g jackson 4:39:53 PM
Russ Ballard great songwriter but I prefer this song when it's sung by a secret service agent in a leisure suit
John Tobias (host) 4:41:04 PM
Cherrie Currie and her sister covered it, too. Not my fave.
John Tobias (host) 4:41:36 PM
Dave, I have mentioned before on the air that my dream job would be putting songs in movies
g jackson 4:44:29 PM
Yes he did
David Shortell 4:46:20 PM
I take it that band Dust you played a half hour ago was not the same group Marky Ramone was in before the Voidoids.
John Tobias (host) 4:46:46 PM
doubtful
g jackson 4:48:12 PM
Very Strokes-ish
John Tobias (host) 4:48:49 PM
with Moz on vocals
David Shortell 4:55:56 PM
This Orange Revival track is obviously a different song than Jefferson Airplane’s “How Do You Feel”.
John Tobias (host) 5:07:42 PM
Oops, just saw this now. Agreed.
John Tobias (host) 5:16:57 PM
Maybe my fave sad song of 2023 right here
David Shortell 5:26:43 PM
I own a book in the Thirty Three and a Third paperback series about this Kinks album. It's high time I read it.
John Tobias (host) 5:28:02 PM
Get to it

I saw Paul Collins play several times in the early 2010’s at venues that no longer exist: Bruar Falls, Southpaw, Maxwell’s, Court Tavern, Curmudgeon Records, Brighton Bar, the old Asbury Lanes.
John Tobias (host) 5:46:21 PM
I've been to four of those places, but never saw him. My loss
Rob from Merryland 🦅 5:46:27 PM
John, I've enjoyed the parts of the show I've been able to listen to (when I wasn't running to the store b/c of increased snow forecast here in the DC area). Thanks!
John Tobias (host) 5:47:18 PM
Sure. I'm glad to be part of the soundtrack to your upcoming storm. Be careful out there.
richard lyons:) 5:50:44 PM
Thoroughly enjoyed the show today. Thanks!
John Tobias (host) 5:53:05 PM
Thanks Richard and the listening masses
TAndy 5:54:03 PM
Many thanks for the show, sir!
John Tobias (host) 5:55:55 PM
