10th Anniversary Special: LOVE good & bad & revisited
Hi everyone! It's 10 years (and 2 cities and 3 radio stations) since I started this radio show on WXOJ-LP, Valley Free Radio back on February 15, 2014! I'm reprising my first, hilariously broad topic, LOVE GONE WRONG AND LOVE GONE RIGHT! and looking back at what has and hasn't changed since that innocent time.
I'll also be making a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT about a future radio event to celebrate Uneasy Listening's 10th year on the air!
And finally at 10pm: DANCE PARTY/CAN PARTY (RIP Damo Suzuki)

So amped for DJ Commie Francis!
Rob from Maryland 🦅
8:05:15 PM
YAY and thank you for starting your show with this song, Commie!
Commie Francis (host)
8:05:26 PM

Rob from Maryland 🦅
8:06:32 PM
I love that you are playing it :-)

Sad news, Damo Suzuki, lead singer of the 70s experimental band Can, passed away yesterday
Commie Francis (host)
8:12:55 PM

Commie Francis (host)
8:13:08 PM

Yeah, RIP Mojo Nixon too
Scooter France
8:15:38 PM
I probably heard "Anthrax" for the first time on WPRB in the late 80s and it blew my mind then, and still kind of blows my mind. Such an awesome, but oddly constructed song.
Commie Francis (host)
8:19:37 PM
i heard it on a mix tape from my cool older cousin!
Scooter France
8:23:29 PM
I also finally saw the super weird and pretty awesome French art film that Nico starred in from the early 70s called the Inner Scar at the Harvard Film Archive last Saturday after trying to see it for like 20-25 years.
Kelly Nielsen
8:26:55 PM
RIP Mojo Nixon

Commie Francis (host)
8:50:47 PM

Rob from Maryland 🦅
8:53:22 PM
I'll send you my second or fifth or whatever domestic repressing from the 70s, Commie. It's not sticky ;-)
Commie Francis (host)
8:53:37 PM
i just need a new plastic sleeve haha
Commie Francis (host)
8:53:41 PM

9:09:31 PM
I love that Millennium song. I recently learned via the 500 Songs podcast that I've been mispronouncing Curt Boettcher's name for 20 years or so
Scooter France
9:09:44 PM
Also, yay, dee-lite! Happy anniversary!
Commie Francis (host)
9:09:52 PM
i say it butcher but i have no idea if i'm right
Scooter France
9:11:52 PM
According to the 500 songs guy, it's pronounced like Becher. I've been saying Bo-Tecker.
Rob from Maryland 🦅
9:17:00 PM
Pastels!!
Scooter France
9:36:28 PM
Good job on the Boettcher pronunciation.
Commie Francis (host)
9:36:57 PM

Rob from Maryland 🦅
10:26:20 PM
Switching is good!
Colin
10:26:42 PM
as i was driving, i noticed the music and did think, cool background music.
Colin
10:27:37 PM
first thought, both, the music can be a dj mood meter.
Rob from Maryland 🦅
10:27:49 PM
My wife and I both say Jeepster (at least for a while)
TAndy
10:32:55 PM
Ooh! Really good song to tune into right here
Colin
10:34:02 PM
tandy's here. party just leveled up

I saw Jack Talcum play in NJ venues in recent years, including in a log cabin in Manchester Township. I asked him if his band’s name was inspired by this Monty Python skit. No, he said.

10:45:58 PM
Happy anniversary, Commie! This was a superb show tonight!
Colin
10:45:58 PM
i've been dancing
Andrew G
10:46:17 PM

Commie Francis (host)
10:46:25 PM

Colin
10:46:48 PM
i had lots of caffeine this evening.
Rob from Maryland 🦅
10:47:06 PM
I can't go until the Raffaella Carrà song is over though
Commie Francis (host)
10:47:29 PM

David Shortell
10:48:00 PM
Can’s “Oh Yeah” is a different song from this, I’m guessing:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=GHjEvIFQ7zk
David Shortell
10:54:59 PM
I'I’m glad I got to see Dead Moon a bunch of times. When I first attempted to see Pierced Arrows at Maxwell’s, I spent an hour searching fruitlessly for a parking space in Hoboken before giving up and going home. I succeeded the next time they played there however.
Colin
10:56:01 PM
i came, i danced, and i loved the prospexx. still gonna have the day the nazi died stuck in my head all week. you can't stop me!
TAndy
10:56:30 PM

Colin
10:56:36 PM

David Shortell
10:57:26 PM
When I saw Zounds play at the Brighton Bar, the singer assured me their name rhymed with "hounds", not "wounds".
Andrew G
10:57:43 PM
happy 10 years, commie!
Rob from Maryland 🦅
10:58:53 PM
Good night everyone! And thanks for the wonderful show, Commie!
