Good Metal Monday Morning!
Captain Ahab (host) 10:02:57 AM
Good metal monday morning to you too!
Jason 10:03:52 AM
oops..sorry wrong window. Good morning all.
TAndy 10:10:04 AM
Metal time means it's time to get out of bed and drive down to seaside and stop by checkers for a 5 gallon bucket of crispy fries
Captain Ahab (host) 10:10:55 AM
mmm crispy fries in the morning sounds like a great start to teh week
TAndy 10:13:58 AM
Hopefully so!
Rob F 10:21:21 AM
Hey Captain, I missed the last couple Mondays and about to head into a meeting. So, where is new job, Yale?
Captain Ahab (host) 10:21:57 AM
Wesleyan!
Rob F 10:23:34 AM
Oh cool. Congrats!
Captain Ahab (host) 10:24:04 AM
Thank you! I'm super excited
Rob F 10:25:50 AM
similar work to your studies?
Captain Ahab (host) 10:28:47 AM
Yes, I'll be a professor of the history of the middle east, which is what my specialty is in
Mike Tropiano 10:29:42 AM
CONGRATS Prof!
Captain Ahab (host) 10:29:56 AM
haha thanks Mike!
Mike Tropiano 10:30:57 AM
I often prefer to say "perfesser"
Captain Ahab (host) 10:32:59 AM
that's allowed
Mike Tropiano 10:36:42 AM
One of my first and most influential professors once almost shouted at me "It's not arts or sciences, it's arts AND sciences." I always try to stress that union (because it IS there) from my side of the divide. I know you will do that, since you have expressed t this awareness many times. You'll be great.
Captain Ahab (host) 10:37:26 AM
awww thanks
h1ro-protagonist 10:39:08 AM
happy you had a chance to try some of that New Haven apizza! What was the name of the place you went to again?
Captain Ahab (host) 10:39:31 AM
Olde World Apizza
Captain Ahab (host) 10:39:39 AM
In Hamden, pretty good!
h1ro-protagonist 10:41:35 AM
Excellent, thanks! Adding that to my New Haven travel list.
Travis in TechniColor ado 10:49:10 AM
Congrats on the new gig! I was up that way last fall to see Frankie and the WItchfingers at Space Ballroom
Mike Tropiano 10:49:17 AM
Time to go make some pizza, figuratively. Good day All!
Captain Ahab (host) 10:49:46 AM
Cheers Mike!
Captain Ahab (host) 10:50:03 AM
Thanks Travis, hoping the concert circuit in New Haven is comparable to Boston
Captain Ahab (host) 10:50:13 AM
though I'm close enough to NYC now I suppose
Travis in TechniColor ado 10:50:21 AM
And I think my buddy pointed out a PIzza place too
Travis in TechniColor ado 10:52:28 AM
That is one cool thing I realized while I was out there. Lots of venues in a few hours of driving. Saw them up there, then Philly the next night and wanted to see the Brooklyn show the following night, but NYC was flooded
Captain Ahab (host) 10:53:06 AM
Yeah, the great thing about central Connecticut seems to be its proximity to other great places lol
h1ro-protagonist 10:53:06 AM
Speaking of your new gig, have you heard of Christopher Silver? He's an ethnomusicologist professor of North African and Middle eastern music/culture.
Captain Ahab (host) 10:54:00 AM
I hadn't! I plan to see if I can't get some anatolian rock collection started at Wesleyan, they are big into ethnomusicology too
Jason 10:55:39 AM
some crazy drum fills in that Witchorious
Ossy 10:56:47 AM
Hi Ahab
Guelo<3 11:01:18 AM

Captain Ahab (host) 11:01:30 AM
hi Ossy and Guelo, thank you!
h1ro-protagonist 11:02:36 AM
My gf is friends with him/wife and just went to visit them over the weekend. I sadly missed out on the opportunity to have a multi-hour listening session of his incredibly curated vinyl collection in that space.
h1ro-protagonist 11:03:24 AM
I'd be happy to connect you two!

Ossy 11:06:43 AM
And great sounds on a school field highway trip
Captain Ahab (host) 11:14:41 AM
yeah that would be cool! Maybe once I'm actually settled in next year, this year the priority is finishing the diss so I should avoid any new projects lol
Jason 11:19:39 AM
cool medium-slow groove by Disastroid
h1ro-protagonist 11:27:09 AM
Dope! For sure, it sounds like you've got a lot on your plate for the coming year haha
Jason 11:29:24 AM
shakin' the dust off the speakers now
TAndy 11:42:09 AM
That Slomosa earlier kicked fuckin ass
TAndy 11:43:21 AM
This Cancervo (nice name) rips
TAndy 11:52:55 AM
Great show today Captain, thank you! And congrats on the job!!
Ossy 11:54:20 AM
