Great Start...(as usual!)
Dana K (host) 8:09:44 PM
thank you thank you!
Alan Pasnyk 8:11:12 PM

Alan Pasnyk 8:12:32 PM
Dana: Stay home at Mourn's advice..
Roffle 8:15:28 PM
Solomon's angel of ears. lol I like that concept!
Roffle 8:15:40 PM
Hi Dana!
Alan Pasnyk 8:16:34 PM
Hi Roff! Hope you're doin' OK !
Roffle 8:20:06 PM
Hi Alan, I love the cold weather, so that's a plus and waiting on snow, even better. Hope the sky's clear up with the moon waxing though.
Alan Pasnyk 8:22:33 PM
Roffle: It's clear, it's not, whatever....Maybe Bling Sparkly night snow tonight for DJ Readie likes it..
Alan Pasnyk 8:23:39 PM
This Servants track is like ...Breathing..
Roffle 8:24:13 PM
I remember being in Montana on Highway 2 in deep snow and walking around with a full moon and the incredible sparkle from walls of snow. Not much of that happening around he much these days.
Alan Pasnyk 8:26:10 PM
Roffle: When snow comes in from the west here at night it tends to be dry and sparkly
Alan Pasnyk 8:27:03 PM
When i worked in Wichita all we had was dry powder..
Roffle 8:32:00 PM
Wichita is so in the plains. Those grain silos around town are wild. I took tons of pictures of those. But the plains get really weird weather, and I am not a fan of tornados. :)
Alan Pasnyk 8:33:47 PM
Roffle: and trains go straight thru town at night, first night my room was shakin' LOL
Alan Pasnyk 8:39:41 PM

Scooter France 9:04:58 PM
I went to Monorail twice when I was visiting a friend in Glasgow over ten years ago, and I did feel a little starstruck by seeing Stephan Pastel behind the counter.
Dana K (host) 9:08:41 PM
I'm afraid I punished him pretty hard the first time I met him. But he was nice about it.
Scooter France 9:09:43 PM
I maybe should have talked to him some more, but I just took my stuff up to the counter and had him ring me up as if I didn't know who he was.
Scooter France 9:10:34 PM
but that's because I was kind of starstruck and had no idea how to break the ice.
Dana K (host) 9:11:26 PM
I had just been to the Scared to Get Happy festival and saw BMX Bandits, so I think I babbled at him about Duglas
Dana K (host) 9:12:04 PM
And then my then boyfriend wanted me to ask him for a picture and I was mortified by the idea
Ossy 9:29:13 PM
Hi Dana
Dana K (host) 9:29:28 PM
evening ossy
TAndy 9:36:52 PM

TAndy 9:50:58 PM
Funny u mention that, just scarfed down a leftover slice of pizza coated in hot chili flakes.
TAndy 9:51:06 PM
Or as my friends call my pizza, "fire ants".
Scooter France 9:59:42 PM
I've heard the level of violence at Mountain Goats shows caused by middle aged men seeing Jon Wurster play drums is off the charts. They're banned in many states
Dana K (host) 10:00:35 PM
I knew it. Pure violence.
TAndy 10:05:39 PM
I should be doing work but this song has me glued to my laptop speakers rn
Dana K (host) 10:06:53 PM
good! work sucks!
Colin 10:10:41 PM
that sundays demo version😎! phase one of rearrange all the furniture completed. fueled by dbtf selections.
Colin 10:10:59 PM
yeah tandy, the work can wait.
Dana K (host) 10:11:51 PM
if i can help people successfully rearrange furniture or avoid work, i've done my job
Alan Pasnyk 10:14:23 PM
Dana: and add "Healing a frazzled nerves" to that list..
Dana K (host) 10:14:35 PM
oh, the best!
TAndy 10:16:42 PM
lmao the drummer snuck in for like a single beat
Rob from Maryland 🦅 10:17:05 PM
Fwiw the funky drummer snuck in for one single second
Alan Pasnyk 10:17:12 PM
Yeah, heard it on FM but ok now
Dana K (host) 10:17:53 PM
I made a promise he would show up
TAndy 10:20:27 PM

TAndy 10:20:57 PM

Andrew G 10:38:31 PM

Andrew G 10:39:19 PM
I love Consonant! I've never heard anyone play them on wprb
Ossy 10:39:30 PM
Its so Freaky Friday movie hot tonight
Dana K (host) 10:40:34 PM
Consonant are great! We have the CD in the library so I'm sure people were playing it 20 years ago, but the students don't seem to have found it yet
Ira Te Mix 10:43:08 PM
"Ethics" by 23 Skidoo was so different sounding than their 1982 album "Seven Songs" that it really threw me off, I had to look this up to see if it was the same band. Thanks for playing it!
Dana K (host) 10:44:07 PM
yeah, it's their first single IIRC - sounds totally different from the stuff they did just a year or two later. the B side is a bit dubbier.
Colin 10:48:09 PM
loved that late late show vibes.
Dana K (host) 10:48:26 PM
me too! whole EP is great!
Colin 10:52:49 PM
that last set was total tube tv music video on the late late show style.
Colin 10:53:14 PM
have a great night yall. WPRB!
Alan Pasnyk 10:54:33 PM
Thanks Dana! Nice night & bcnu!
Ossy 10:57:09 PM
Good night Dana, to dream sleepy space land!
Dana K (host) 10:57:25 PM
