Commie Francis (host)
8:27:50 PM
i'm confused by this Mary Weiss thing because it's not in major media yet but it's coming from Miriam Linna who knows her
Ambrose Hughes (1)
8:32:00 PM
I'd be tempted to say Miriam knows if it's true, that said hopefully it isn't.
Ambrose Hughes (1)
8:34:30 PM
Commie! Does East/West have to be in the song title?
Commie Francis (host)
8:35:01 PM
nope, as long as it's in the lyrics
Ambrose Hughes (1)
8:37:21 PM
Ah ha! Eton Rifles comes to mind although, I think you've spun that before?
Commie Francis (host)
8:38:46 PM
if i have time i will, it's kind of a fleeting reference! but a great song
Commie Francis (host)
8:39:02 PM
i have definitely played it before
Ambrose Hughes (1)
8:39:20 PM
Gotcha, many thanks!
Ambrose Hughes (1)

TAndy
9:51:01 PM
The mood def feels more like "Driving to the late night diner"; "Eating at the late night diner"; "Watching a fight nearly break out in the late night diner parking lot"
Commie Francis (host)
9:52:03 PM
i approve these vibes. now let's help the workers at the diner become a worker-owned co-op
jimbooooooo
9:53:53 PM
mopping up your own blood with moldy waffles from the dumpster after a fight in the diner parking lot vibes
TAndy
9:54:35 PM
The co-op rules allow for 75 seconds of fistfighting maximum in the parking lot, 15 seconds inside. Any further and the staff will bring out the stale sweet potato pies to pelt the fighters until they retreat.
