Greetings and salutations! I'm not Jon Solomon

Greetings, I am not a Bald Eagle, or an octopus

I am Spartacus!

Has anyone ever seriously considered the possibility Jon Solomon exists only as a Platonic Form?

I am not Mr. Malcontent.

ohi dj dan

I am not not Jon Solomon.

Human radio stations by their very nature transcend our mere human concerns

I might be a mantis shrimp

Love the squid hat.

It's still hiding in a bin of stuffed animals in my daughter's room. I'll have to bring it with me if I ever do a show from the Barge

THIS jam right here

The whole album totally rips. As does everything this label reissues

the teptatin to pay $45 after shipping for the vinyl....

Typo, keeping it.

I'm kind of surprised there isn't at least one music venue in Dallas called The Grassy Knoll.

You'd think! Or at least a record label? Record store?

Speaking of paying one's dues in Dallas.

The Greasy Knoll?

Would 100% eat at that diner

Nice! I haven't heard Frankie and the witchfingres in a bit.

Been meaning to play this record since last summer and never quite managed to. So today is the day. Hat tip to Mike Lupica!

@Mike Tropiano let's make the Greasy Knoll happen.

their special rutgers style fat sandwich they call "the greasy bastard" deeeeecent

🤘

And this set would be perfect for that green

greasy space.

Hi Dan

Thought I heard Deirdre for sec

Hey Ossy! Deirdre is my WPRB bizarro, so not surprising

aww i missed chat pile :(

Finally found a chat machine. So good to hear you today! Killer first hour!!!!

Thanks, Richard!

PSYCHEDELIC WOMAN!

This is such a such. Hypnotic groove all the way thru

Well I say heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey

nah nah nah nah nahhhhh

Thank you Soundway

One of Willie Nelson's best

Didn't know this was Willie. It's such a vibe

Hell yeah!

The pedal steel is so good

CHAT PILE now we gotdamn talkin 👍

They really need to release a new album like yesterday

Aha. Wanted to check that Bolis Pupul out thanks. Popped up on blogs recently & sounded worth a ride

Definitely worth a listen. Not sure it's as good as his album with Charlotte Adiguery, but still good

Love and peas grow there

Radiohead! My wife is very happy rn

A nice feeling this whole lp. Good listen. Good memories when it came out

I can't decide if the strings on this are actually a melotron or just processed to sound that way. In any case, every sound on this song is so damn pretty

Chat Pile cited Libertine as an influence a while back, as if I couldn’t love ‘em more.

Also, the Mary Timony sounded perfect as I pulled into home. (Now I’m back in the car.)

I really need to spend more time with the Mary Timony. I had it in the background the other day and it ruled, but I think it would benefit from foreground listening

Damn! This is good!!!

David Allan Coe!

This song is so absurd. I love it

The late great Steve Goodman wrote it

The perfect country song written by a dyed in the wool Chicagoan!

got runned over by a goddang train

DAC running through his roll call country star imitations is always fun on this

Just so many good lines throughout

Saw DAC at the Sellersville about 10 years ago. His wig is about 6 feet long and bright copper/gold

"You don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore"

Ragtime Annie! Classic pickers piece.

Us mandolin pickers in the octopus's embrace are lovin' Daniel Ullom's rendition of "Ragtime Annie."

There's a fun story about the mandolin Ullom is playing there: https://danielullom.bandcamp.com/album/happy-birthday-dewey

^^If you can find it out on the webbies or a used cd this comp (and other volumes) from Flatpicking Magazine in the 90s and 00s is just the beez kneez...

https://www.discogs.com/release/15176532-Various-Flatpicking-97

That has Ragtime Annie and so so many fun tunes and songs.

This track is great on headphones. First heard it on Diaspar.

Late cold war avant-Krautrock.

There's something so delightfully weird about Holger Czukay's post-Can stuff from the 1980s

Really solidifies him as Can's premiere weirdo (even somehow weirder than Damo)

"On the Way to the Peak of Normal" is just as out there.

Thanks for listening everyone! Always fun to fill in for Jon
