Space Cowboy 9:05:42 AM
I love that version of pleasant valley Sunday
Commie Francis (host) 9:06:14 AM
i don't listen to a ton of carole king's own music but her demos for other bands are pretty invariably great
Commie Francis (host) 9:07:15 AM
amazing songwriter! and i love her voice
TAndy 9:08:53 AM
Ohi Commie Francis, good morning also to Space Cowboy
Commie Francis (host) 9:08:57 AM
i should say i don't listen to her own music much except the really rosie soundtrack!
Commie Francis (host) 9:09:11 AM
tandy! we're still here!
TAndy 9:10:49 AM
Still awake, still live, and still jammin
dan Cochrane 9:25:44 AM
Your candor is refreshing, truly. I can relate, only on the other side, asking for number.
dan Cochrane 9:30:03 AM
I like that line, “the world is round, so we can’t see what’s up ahead.” Iska Dinesen I think.
Commie Francis (host) 9:30:14 AM
it has to be very nerve wracking to ask!
dan Cochrane 9:32:08 AM
Not as much as it once was. Maybe I’m getting better at it. Everyone’s married in this small town anyway.
dan Cochrane 9:34:07 AM
We’re you on the air all night, it just seems like it.
dan Cochrane 9:36:03 AM
In Chicago a woman came up to me in diner and said, “Remember you once asked me out, well now I can”
Scooter France 9:38:39 AM
I'm back for more
dan Cochrane 9:42:49 AM
Will anyone be in path of the total eclipse, or going to one, April 8th? Just curious.
dan Cochrane 9:44:30 AM
“Loving” and “Reagan” in same sentence, that’s a first for me I think.
Commie Francis (host) 9:44:57 AM
i will be in the adirondacks for it, sort of coincidentally
Commie Francis (host) 9:45:36 AM
"a man who has so much hair, a man who is not all there, a man who just loves the chair, i love governor reagan"
dan Cochrane 9:46:55 AM
Adirondacks are superb! Gorgeous driving through them.
dan Cochrane 9:48:20 AM
With all the concern over age of the candidates, I wonder if Ron was are most age affected Prez?
dan Cochrane 9:50:15 AM
Anniversary of first phone call today. “So, do you want to go out sometime?”
dan Cochrane 9:50:38 AM
Followed by, “What?”
Ossy 10:08:25 AM
Hello 🎶 Uneasy Listening On A Sunday Morning 🎵, Francis!

Commie Francis (host) 10:26:10 AM
i do love debbie webby's metal show, the contrast between her super wholesome demeanor and the music
Commie Francis (host) 10:27:58 AM
i enjoyed that more than i expected!
TAndy 10:38:50 AM
I loved that At Night song so much <3

Commie Francis (host) 10:39:12 AM
fantastic band from philly!
Scooter France 10:45:01 AM
the Mythic 7' brings up memories of the apartment Mike and Ian from Crucial Unit lived in on Joe Hammer's Square that I hung out at a lot. The Mythic 7" was often on the turntable.
Commie Francis (host) 10:47:09 AM
is that the same place where fucked up and career suicide played in the basement a few times after roboto shows?
Commie Francis (host) 10:47:20 AM
back when fucked up could play a 125 capacity venue haha
Commie Francis (host) 10:48:16 AM
this would be well after your time in pittsburgh so possibly not but maybe it was passed from punk to punk
dylan edwards 10:48:42 AM
Hello! Please play Catalogue of Kindness by Mindsake! Great tune and very catchy! Keep up the good work :)
Commie Francis (host) 10:52:37 AM
thanks! is there a woman in the band? i'm having trouble finding info
dylan edwards 10:53:23 AM
Nah it’s just one guy. Like tame impala type

dylan edwards 10:53:52 AM
If that works easier! Sorry I’m new to here
Scooter France 10:54:26 AM
Pretty sure that was a different place
Commie Francis (host) 10:54:46 AM
ah ok thank you! no worries! but today i'm just playing bands with women in them. thanks for the request though, i will check it out!
Scooter France 10:55:31 AM
Though, I remember seeing a basement show on Joe Hammer when I lived in Pgh that was something like Dillinger Four, Seein' Red, and Torches to Rome that was also not Mike and Ian's place, but maybe that place was passed down.
dylan edwards 10:56:02 AM
Oh okay I see! Maybe for another time or if you like it yourself :)
Scooter France 11:07:08 AM
Yay Spitboy!
Commie Francis (host) 11:09:30 AM
the comp that was on was the 90s-est thing ever
Scooter France 11:13:42 AM
Honestly, I loved that comp. I bought it when I was really young, and the booklet was kind of an education for me at the time.
Scooter France 11:14:09 AM
but it was also the most 90s thing ever
Ossy 11:18:34 AM
Great sounds on the last few
Commie Francis (host) 11:36:40 AM
thanks ossy!
