Uneasy Listening Sat Mar 9 with Commie Francis on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Gotta get up off the glider rocker!!!!

Magnetic Fields do a terrific spelling song, Washington DC!

oh yes i know it, i've done 2 spelling shows and that was on the first one i think

anyway! tone shift!

Love it Commie!

Sounds like the Republican response from Hell’s Kitchen the other night!

W A S H ING TON, baby, DC!

And hi everyone

Hi robfrommaryland

Skate key

Melanie Daniels, “get back in your guilded cage”. Name that film.

the birds! just for that i'm going to play a song about a book/movie after this next break and you can guess what it is

FUN! Tippi Hedren has the same line in The Birds and Marnie. Can you guess?

that one i don't know!

Hint: what do you say to attacking birds and Sean Connery, about to…you?

Shout out to Dangerous Birds and Salem 66.

“No, no, no, no!”

I was in Bodega Bay, California, once on a bird trip. I think that is where the crow scenes in The Birds was filmed?

Marcus, heck yeah!

Most of the movie.

Got it, dan. I never saw the movie, especially after I really got in to birdwatching.

The Jamie Branch record playing in the back ground is such an amazing record.

it is great!

i'm not one to play long instrumental jazz pieces, but she was wonderful

Glad I got to see Jamie Branch Fly or Die live once. I definitely cried when I heard of her passing.

Ok, best guess….Tinker Taylor soldier spy

dingdingding

Really?!?

Once I got Rikki Lake out of my mind

Do I get a Twinkie or a Ding Dong (velvets)?

a chocodile

Yum

Commie! Saturday! Women's Music Night! LETS GOOOOOOO

Count chocodile

(Big love to DJ Jerry Gordon, missed saying goodbye at the end of his show)

Sounding great, Commie Francis!

Xmal Deutschland and Destroy All Monsters gone not forgotten

Commie! Did you see “Hello God, I’m Margaret”? I had no idea what it was about, blu Ray from library. Very educational, funny.

Der power chords

dan i read the book in grade school, i haven't seen the new movie of it

Bennie Salfdie play’s the dad, why I checked it out.

@ TAndy, is Jerry Gordon leaving WPRB?

Hope not!

Never mind, it looks like he filled in for the Girl Flop show

that's right, he was just on! he ain't going nowhere

holly golightly and billy childish did a version of this which is nice

Don't forget Jersey's own The Roches

all great bands Marcus!

You're the one with the great bands Commie!

Yoko 🖤

🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁🪁

Thank you sooo much Commie, I’d forgotten that duet.

Evening Commy!

hi ossy! you're welcome dan! also hi jimbo and tandy

In fact, he played, “ain’t goin’ nowhere” to verify.

and richard!

and rob and marcus and scooter! phew

Your fans are legion!

Great baseline!

I’m just about to put on Seven Samuri.

now you got me thinking about Ofra Haza sampled by Eric B and Rakim

Oum Kalthoum! Some I follow(ed) on Twitter just loves her songs

she was amazing! someone requested a song of hers for my anniversary show which was great but like 20 minutes long

Hi Commie! And shoutout to Chalk Circle and Fire Party, two 80s DC all-women punk bands

It's still his pinned tweet! "So Um Kalthoum walks into a bar. Walks into a bar. Walks into a bar. Walks into a baaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

https://twitter.com/KarlreMarks: Architect, satirist and extremely bad cartoonist.

hahah

The late Tommy Smothers favorite band.

Mo Moe Tucker

Mo Tucker Republican?

yeah full on trumpy

No!

It was very very disappointing to read about Mo Tucker's current political beliefes

The Velvets song, “The Gift”, a guy really shipped himself in a crate, Australia to London. He ended up in LA, nearly died. I heard they’re making a film based on it.

flat stanley?

Bizarre (but cool) that Moe was in a band with the brothers from Sun City Girls when they were young

Why oh why didn’t they go forward with the in production film based on Where’s Waldo?

i saw her live in the late 90s, she was great and seemed like a lovely cool grandma

haha. he's in the crate!!!! it all makes sense now

Like Trump digs Velvets

Oh yeah that 50 skidillion watts solo Moe record was good

He was upside down, no water left when they found him. PanAm paid for hospital and first class ticket to London. Oops spoiler.

Perfect for Spielberg

I read that an Apollo astronaut went 9 days without going. Was shooting for two weeks. Two, 7 day diapers. Sorry.

thank youuuuuu commie 🕊️

<3

oh wow, Mr. Sterile Assembly. I hadn't thought of them in awhile, but I saw them play in Wellington, NZ when I took a trip to New Zealand in 2003. Maybe on a bill with Birchville Cat Motel and Pumice? Kieran from that band was super helpful when I was there with info about shows and cool stuff around town. He also had another band at the time called Sunship, which was killer blown out PSF records style psych rock. I didn't get to see Sunship, but the cd-r he gave me ruled.

i already was really enjoying the show but that last set😍

i just saw you post on the socials (5 min ago) looking for instrumental tracks, probably way late to the party, but stinking livaveta is my off the cuff thought. cheshire on drums may be the only woman in the band but an essential element.

Breakfast With Commie

lol jim, commie coffee chaos!

Heck yeah Lizaveta

i'm gonna make bill go get me a cold brew

cold brew = 42

I predict 🥞 in my future

Potato 5 sax player is female. Shuttle disaster is an instrumental.

It's time for us to head out, we're on a bird walk tomorrow morning. This was a great show that we sadly have to leave. Thanks, Commie, and goodnight everyone

night rob, thanks for listening!

marcus, i never heard of potato 5 but a quick search has me 100% in on finding out more.

2nd wave Ska band from the UK. Second Step also 2nd wave from NYC also had female members.

here you go Marcus! one of your requests finally

Thanks Commie!

my mom took me to see the roaches when i was a child.

Keep on doing, and first album with Fripp my two must have Roches. Saw them all in Chicago, Park West, small venue.

Roches whoa 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

The Roches are so sick.

Commie…keep on doin’ what you do! Jerks on the loose…

The Roches song sounded like "Bitchin Camaro" from the female point of view. So Jersey.

for serious Marcus it does!

For some reason I see Chumbawamba, Indigo Girls, Dave Mathew’s Band, at hospital thrift stores than any other bands.

chumbawamba had that one album that was HUGE but only because of the one song

it's actually a very good album, which is a little controversial to say even in chumbawamba fan circles

I get knocked down!

indeed! even that song is good, just overplayed

first one to sleep in the barge floor?

i am NOT driving in! otherwise i might

even tho the barge is new, i imagine a 400 year old couch in the corner for the late night dj to crash.

there is no room for a gross couch!

or is there no will to make room for gross couch🤔 (new wprb pledge challenge, make room to buy gross couch with your donations?)

so many bangers in that set!

thanks all gotta make room for karolina!

great show

loved this show!

🔥⭐🔥⭐🔥⭐🔥⭐🔥

I listened to the last half hour driving through this terrible rain. I discovered Au Pairs watching the "Urgh!"documentary in the 80's. I consequently bought their live album.

thanks for the great show Commie
