Helloooo Dana!!!

hello!

Hello

we made it!

Hi Rob!!

YAAAAAAAAY!

YAY Dana! Hi Alan!

Wooooo xeeeerox mosheeen

...but I Really Loved that The Chefs track! 💙💜😍

I wasn't listening to the station but I understand that Dana was delayed?

*I wasn't listening to WPRB until exactly 9 pm

Rob: Delayed traffic jam I 295

I love The Roots

Alan, thanks! Bummer about the traffic jam, Dana!

@ Rob: I saw a raptor with a big white spot on each wing, any ideas????

...Oh wow Flu poor Dana sorrie !!

it was BLAHHH

I am pro Dana cars with an air bag. Just sayin'

I gotta bag!

Nice! lol

You know who else has a bag

S L E E V e

A primordial pouch

Pouchin' hard

Geez! Mine is full, but that is why God thought up girls of course.

Fastbacks!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Alan, do you remember the general color of your raptor?

Rob: Yeah very dark, not super good at gliding, some flapping

Do all of us windbags in the chat count as airbags?

chat airbags deployed

Inflated ones.

i'm grateful. radio can be dangerous.

Dana: Next time take one of these ..........................🛸

Dangerous Radio should be the name of your show!

@ Alan, Black Vulture? https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Black_Vulture/id. They are rather dark, flap in less-/non-windy conditions, and have large white patches at the tips of the wings

Good band, those Telepathics

@Rob: Sorry, but the large white round spots on the wing underside was kinda like the Japanese fighter plane the "Zero"..

Abridged too far.

@ Rob:Haven't seen that raptor before or since..

@ Alan, hopefully you'll see it again!

if there is one thing life has taught me over the years it is that i get wicked excited whenever i hear the rezillos

one of scotland's finest!

now i'm wondering if the rezillos need to be on d.i.d. list🤔

this vibrators album art is a little james bond movie open credits vibe.

@Rob: If I find out, I'll let you know next time, thanks! :)

I wish the Vibrators did a Bond theme

That Vibrators 2.0 band in Philly with one original member is kinda weird? But also kinda cool?

I don't want to google "Vibrators Philadelphia" on the station computer

just don't forget to put "band" at the end

also: https://www.njarts.net/british-punk-band-the-vibrators-resurrected-in-new-jersey-as-the-vibrators-v2/ from new jersey arts

their new drummer is from my hometown (mt. laurel)...this is wild

though he wasn't an original Vibrator. Joined in '89.

i played with v2 probably about 8 or 9 years ago at dobbs. they were pretty alright folks

i feel like the times is possibly the most english band

some say on a proper hi-fi you can hear the kettle in the boiling during the quiet songs.

i agree. there was 0% american musical influence in that song.

i mean, there was if you want to consider how the original 60s mods were influenced by black american music...but seriously. that was way english.

"0% American" would be a great tattoo

@ Alan, sure thing!

Evening Dana Bash the Front

I'll let Jeff Bolt know that he's wrong

Speakings of bags from 1983, how come I never hear the Groceries on WPRB anymore? Go Tigers!

Dark Thoughts 77 UK

There IS a Groceries from 1983! Is it any good?

Dark Thoughts are opening for the Outcasts after all

They're Princeton lads. It's got a catchy pop/ska vibe and some clever lyrics. Check out "Part of the New America" and "Nassau Street"

Also Protex next week

I'll have to. Unfortunately I don't have access to the library anymore :(

I'm putting together a dub-ish show for Sunday. Already playing Normil Hawaiians. Are there any other bands?

Glaxo Babies did some dubby stuff, and the Lines

New Age Steppers

True. Unfortunately I've played Pop Group, Au Pairs, and Ski Patrol over the last six months.

friday night, that means it's party time helllzzzz yeah

Vivien Goldman

I've got Exek, PiL, Non Plus Temps, A Culture of Killing, 4" Be 2", and a dubbier Bona Dish song in there.

hi TAndy! Also, hi Ossy!

*high fives Tandy!

I should listen to more Goldman, it's true

I've also wondered is a wprb record library b was gonna form at the bardge.

barge, lol, who invited the d!

We have a little mini library here at the bard-ge

Yessssssss

@Dana K -- request called into Bloomberg... could you play "Get Out of My Way" by Mojo Nixon?

for a listener trapped in bumper-to-bumper traffic lol

I hope some day our library can be in a central location, but i'm not the boss!

@m. mouse, you got it (i was stuck in traffic earlier)

<3 <3

radio cat boss say central library location must include tuna.

omg what up methuselah mouse

pours one out for mojo. rip

Nice to hear something by the Only Ones other than "Another Girl...." on the radio/webstream.....

Thanks! I'll never get sick of Another Girl... for as long as I live but they had plenty of other good songs!

Yes, true "Another Girl.." is a great song but variety is good. BTW was happy to hear the Times!. The way I discovered The Times is a very fun story but not enough space here to elaborate, I have their 1st album. Yes, very English, but that 1st album reminds a bit of the Jam. Mods!

Check out Mod Fun from Bergen County, 1985

Manual Scan were another fun US mod band

Dexys deep cuts!!

I remember doing an entire half hour Dexys set once and not everyone was happy about it

did they all hit their heads that day?

Yes!

I was trying to educate them!

some levels of cool are scary and not for everyone😎

although i feel like a dexys deep cut would be a massive mic drop moment at any wedding.

I DJ'd my first wedding last fall and unfortunately did not get to play Dexys

you're keeping that ace in your pocket for the right wedding.

if I have to DJ my own wedding, so be it

dr dj dana k presents dexys deepest dives esdition

i am pretty torn that i have to miss a pethie friday show, but i will be at a mutoid man show that night. seems like a fair trade

night everyone!

Dana: G'nite and Thanks for the Brit tunez. Have a safe drive home! & bcnu!

...............................🛸

fantastic finale song. agrees with alan rn, .....................🛸

Thanks for a great show Dana!

alan, everybody i know getting reading a text from me tomorrow, .........................🛸

i never saw that before and i love it.

@colin LOL
