diving deep Thu Feb 15 with deirdre dionysiac on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Heyo. It's you and me and Antonio and the open 8 bit road

Hey dj deirdre dionysiac now we're moving

Dat stanky bass summoned me

👃😤

hey Kelly!

They beauty of african-american rnb from the 70s - 80s

Can't go too long without a washed out, pitched up digital soul/r&b set

We skankin' ?

PICK IT UP PICK IT UP

It would appear. Oh god, there goes my coffee cup. And there goes the subwoofer

dangerous games

Dangerously based music rn

This show is always like getting at the top shelf booze

Wprb = home for haiku and kawaii japanese sounds

You'll never believe that Hosono was in the house for this one. Recently checked and saw that he is credited on 1,717 records per Discogs. That's about a new record every week and a half for 50 years?

This one's what...rum with a dash of kahlua?

That is an impressive and shocking statistic about Hosono! Dude must've lived in the studio, and barely slept.

Appleton Estate Extra, Rhum Clément VSOP, Curacao, Orgeat, sugar syrup, lime juice, shaken over plenty of crushed ice

I'll take a can of Arizona Arnold Palmer with a few shots of Smirnoff

the two genders

With butter biscuits and fried garlic shrimp

TAndy that also sounds great. Been meaning to try doctoring up one of them Taco Bell Slushies. A Summer time drink.

Garlic and alcohol do not mix, but I'll take a whole biskit tray

Apparently they're coming out with Baja Blast gelato

Garlic and alcohol = horrible breath 🤢......and baja blast, I think mountain dew has drinks of them. Fun times

Oh wow. Baja Blast gelato hmmmm. I wish they'd just get some Choco Tacos back.

Disco UFO Let's Gooooooo!

yknow i tried a choco taco when i heard about their discontinuation. kinda overrated tbh

if it had like cinnamon sugar in there or something it would have been more remarkable

The Choco Taco would go great with this song. Has no place in today's market is true.

I dated a girl once that dated a guy from this band. She also dated Moby. And she brought it up a lot.

And now I bring it up to youse lol

i refuse to believe moby dated

*or whatever it is moby does

I'm gonna put the members of Isis and Moby in some sort of generator to find out what you look like, DSM

LOL a shocking blend

Eeeee *clenches teeth*

😶

today i found a copy of nothing feels good by the promise ring with a review written by a wprb dj back in 1997. just wanted to share and see if anyone could identifyn who wrote it

Dope! Any initials or anything on it?

initials are AG

interested in rocking and having a good time. Only a couple songs on here are quiet(er) or slow(er) [relatively]. Most of them are much funkier. But don't get me wrong. They still sound like P-Ring, and they still rock. Play this, or be visited by buttburglars in the night.

"Including The Horse Latitudes (all their 7" records on CD), this is The Promise Ring's 3rd. And boy oh boy is it a doozy. Yes, there are those of you out there who would have frontman Davey Von Bohlen banished to another dimension. Learn to love, man. Learn to love... This CD absolutely kicks ass. It's more rockin' and more fun than either of their first 2, and not coincidentally this is the 1st CD which Von Bohlen says he is happy with. This CD is tight. It seems that they are growing more

lawnshark, thanks for sharing that was a fun read. Makes me think a compiled DJ's album reviews little zine would make a great pledge drive premium!

no problem! id be down for a collection of stuff like that

That sounds right on tone with the 90s reviews I've read lol. Nice find, and I agree DSM

thanks deirdre! i love how AG has to remind the snobs to lighten up a bit, remnants of a much more gatekeepy and snobby era

Everything I've heard (which is not a ton) points to that being a cliquey and contentious time for the station. Haggling over the same handful of records and such, seemed like the hardcore/emo/post-rock/etc folks were at the center of it lol

Random say out of the blue, don't you hate when you're having a great day and some douche ruins it out of nowhere?

certainly!

Happens to me everyday

:(

sorry to hear it Ossy.

Found this record for purchase! Physical only, only digital I could find was an upload on YouTube :/

disc or discus (vinyl)?

Vinyl, and Euro pressing too so that means shipping that costs almost as much as the record itself.

I can kind of understand that kind of thing for exclusive new releases, to be followed by Digital shortly thereafter. But for an album that's 42 years old is gatekeeping of the highest order.

The last hour has been so great. Didn't think it could get better than Tyrone Tyree and the skankin lounge from the Japanese islands, but it's been fantastic

A truly wondrous and enriching collection of music tonight Deirdre t h a n k y o u so so much

Agreed, thank you very much for the show tonight.

Thanks DSM, it sucks to deal with such thing when least expect it and question why me or some, smh

And great ambience Dei

Thank you Deirdre

Just a voice behind a mic over here, but we're behind you, Ossy. Thank you all for the kind thoughts and ears!
