Rob from Maryland 🦅 8:43:12 PM
Hi Commie, I was on a birdwalk this morning and I told two different people about Chumbawamba including the English Rebel Songs album (they only knew the one big hit)
Commie Francis (host) 8:43:45 PM
spreading the gospel, that's awesome!
Rob from Maryland 🦅 8:44:26 PM
One of them was 'anarchist-curious' and also liked the Clash, so I told them about Crass ...

Commie Francis (host) 9:10:39 PM
their social media is also very taste-forward!
Commie Francis (host) 9:11:13 PM
Marcus I didn't forget them, there are just thousands of artists i could play every year in that episode! can't play em all!

Top O' the evenin' to you Commie! A well known brewery in Philly just came out with a Tasty Cake Ale🤔
Colin 9:26:07 PM
merry flavorday night!
Colin 9:30:38 PM
also, winders if the tasty cake ale taste like a big mix of all of the tasty cakes or did they have to choose one?🤔
TAndy 9:33:00 PM
Fitting show theme. I went to Burger King and was severely disappointed. The music however is delicious 😋
Marcus Haupt 9:35:25 PM
Tasty Cake: all the good things baked into one
Ossy 9:36:39 PM
Got me some &pizza for the first time. Its like Pizza Hut and Domino's but you can invent your toppings and in smaller sIs
iamthelabhras 9:36:58 PM
Invent your toppings?
iamthelabhras 9:37:04 PM
Like dice?
Commie Francis (host) 9:37:55 PM
peanut butter, eggs and dice
iamthelabhras 9:38:53 PM
As American as apple pie!
Colin 9:38:54 PM
dice pies are nice, but watch out for those 4-sided one, ouch!
TAndy 9:40:07 PM
I'm the weirdo who thinks pepperoni and marshmallows are a delicious pizza topping combo
iamthelabhras 9:40:18 PM
12-sided die pies. Now there's a band name!
Ambrose Hughes (1) 9:40:43 PM
@Colin, I misspoke ...it's Coffee Cake Ale!
iamthelabhras 9:41:07 PM
I'm afraid this one of those rare occasions where public opinion is actually right @TAndy. That sounds like something some horrible hummingbird / human hybrid would order.
Colin 9:41:27 PM
70's cuisine had marshmallows in everything. tandy may be on the cutting edge of retro flavor fashion
iamthelabhras 9:42:17 PM
To paraphrase The Hold Steady, "the '70s almost killed us let's not recall them quite so fondly".
Ossy 9:42:31 PM
Labhras- It seems, from their &pizza menu. The people will prepare it in front of you, like a Subway place
Ossy 9:43:07 PM
Some weird guy in my 2nd grade put smelly mustard on his pizza, 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
iamthelabhras 9:43:37 PM
And that weird guy was ... Gerald Ford. True story.
Colin 9:43:50 PM
lol ambrose, still trying to wrap my head around the idea of what a hodgepodge of all the tasty cakes would taste like.
Commie Francis (host) 9:43:50 PM
i think the 70s is only cool now if it's retro 70s from the 90s
Colin 9:45:20 PM
the 90's version of the 70's bell bottom is a jenko?
Ambrose Hughes (1) 9:46:02 PM
@Colin, haha! Given time YOU know it will happen.
Ossy 9:47:34 PM
Some person attempted to melt marshmallows on brownies, while baking them
Ambrose Hughes (1) 9:48:49 PM
@Ossy, how did they taste?
TAndy 9:50:54 PM
I'm serious. Go get an Ellios pizza and plop some marshmallows on after it comes out the toaster oven. Delicious
Ossy 9:52:19 PM
Ambrose - Tasted pretty great! Even though it looked like smores, lmao. The melted marshmallows gave off a whip cream feeling
Ambrose Hughes (1) 9:53:55 PM
@Ossy, RESULT!🙌
Colin 9:54:09 PM
whoa tandy!!!😲 untoasted-non-melty marshmellows?!? so culinarily cutting edge.
Ossy 9:56:55 PM
Don't try to bake with gummies in anything, especially in the over, or it'll look like a Rainbow Road Mario Kart stage LOOOL
Ossy 9:57:38 PM
Someone friend of friend, tried using gummi worms with cookie dough and they turned into rainbow cookies!

Commie Francis (host) 9:59:53 PM
i have tried twice to start choirs to do this song choir style
Commie Francis (host) 9:59:58 PM
i have a vision
Commie Francis (host) 10:00:09 PM
louie louie!
jimbooooooo 10:00:42 PM
O that would be gooooooooooood
Colin 10:03:08 PM
i would show up to choir practice.
Ambrose Hughes (1) 10:05:17 PM
@Commie, I doubt the local Parish Priest would give that his blessing but, I like the idea😜
Ambrose Hughes (1) 10:07:11 PM
LANKUM😍
iamthelabhras 10:07:45 PM
I really hope Lankum comes to Philly soon.
Commie Francis (host) 10:09:12 PM
i would love to see them, i wonder what size venues they would play here. they definitely blew up a bit with their last record
Colin 10:13:34 PM
they are about to blow up a wee bit more because that was my first time and😍
Krista KristaKrista 10:14:35 PM
Take it up ald Éireann
Colin 10:15:08 PM
that line had me chuckle too
Ambrose Hughes (1) 10:15:19 PM
@Colin 😝
iamthelabhras 10:16:20 PM
Irish bands are kind of having a moment now, thanks to the dust-up at SXSW. And, of course, Greg Abbott's ringing endorsement.
Ossy 10:17:27 PM
Hi Kris
iamthelabhras 10:19:07 PM
Speaking of taste, tho, I think it's amazing that the Irish artists who boycotted SXSW issued a joint statement via SXSW's "Velveeta Room": https://journalofmusic.com/news/irish-bands-cancel-sxsw-concerts-over-arms-companies-and-us-army-sponsorship
Colin 10:32:47 PM
lol, i was about to buy the Energia 80 on bandcamp, but i had to do currency conversion because their bandcamp is in huf. when my math delivered 300,000 huf, i decided to wait till morning and do it when i'm less influenced by the pub earlier.
Commie Francis (host) 10:34:24 PM
haha 2000 HUF is about $5.50
Ambrose Hughes (1) 10:36:35 PM
@Colin, you'd have made them VERY happy had you made that purchase!😯😝
Colin 10:38:44 PM
i make good choices
Ambrose Hughes (1) 10:39:20 PM
CHONCY😲
aiffrig 10:39:52 PM
this music works, savin the best for last ?
Commie Francis (host) 10:48:20 PM
i guess it depends on your perspective!
TAndy 10:49:55 PM
There it was, my favorite jam of the show
TAndy 10:50:14 PM
Or it might be this. Too difficult to choose!!
Colin 10:51:25 PM
these are some 100% flavorday night bass lines!
aiffrig 10:52:07 PM
yikes cool sceene
Marcus Haupt 10:52:37 PM
Gurs is a mix of Punk Rock and Power Pop I had heretofore only witnessed in Brazilian bands
Ossy 10:52:38 PM
This calls for 7 11 slushies
Commie Francis (host) 10:53:16 PM
oh marcus there are quite a few bands from france with a similar sound! and bands like chain cult from greece. it's kind of a thing currently
Richard from Rocky Hill 10:53:27 PM
@ Commie Francis (host) Oh my! Change is a killer group: voices, their harmonies, material, arrangements, backup musicians and production. Did they totally take over the world and I just never noticed it?
TAndy 10:53:38 PM
it really is almost 7-11 slurpee season. but alas, wawa coffee time now
Colin 10:55:15 PM
my wawa coffee goto is the cold brew, with a splash of cream. i'll go irish cream creamer when i'm feeling all cray cray
iamthelabhras 10:55:26 PM
Great show, as always, @Commie Francis.
Marcus Haupt 10:55:36 PM
That fancy 7-11 on Nassau St that doesn't even use the real colors
