These specific colors!

Hi everyone, I'm having a wild week/weekend so here's a show I prepared a while back! A friend kind of randomly started asking for songs that feature these hair dye colors and I came up with a bunch!

ALSO: special guest RIVKA (part of the reason I am so busy) will choose a song or two!

here are ways to stay in touch/stay informed of future shows:

hey hey!

nice jam for a first song

color hair Prussian blue, color hair alizarin crimson...

Hey commie what was the kick ass song you were using for your bumper before the bay city rollers

Hi RIVKA!!! 😄

When does DJ Rivka get her own show? [gets out calendar...\

hi rivka

space cowboy, that was "valium 10" by hawkwind

I heard the word Island there (Iceland)

they say EESE lahnd

Great riffing, Rivka!

And Aqua's "Calling You" is an excellent play choice. Thank you, Rivka.

Aqua Barbie 💧🩷. So aquatically kawaii!

Tuli Kupferberg and co. He was a trip

Tuli would be 100 now.

@ Brian D Tuli K., yeah man! I think his fellow Fug, Ed Sanders, is still with us. My favorie LPs by these NYC Lower East Side psychedelic musical madmen are "Tenderness Junction" and "It Crawled Into My Hand, Honest!"

The end credits of Burn After Reading made great use of CIA Man playing at the end there (cover your ears Rivka)

yeah ed sanders lives in woodstock and has been playing with some incarnation of the fugs recently actually

I think that is Tuli's one of a kind accent speak singing CIA Man

@ Commie Francis (host) Very cool! Peter Stampfel of the Holy Model Rounders -- who for a while joined farces ... I mean, forces! ... with the Fugs ... is still doin' it, too.

That Weber guy lived in the Bucks County area for a bit. Used to see him pop up at John & Peter's folky shows, open mics, Mountain John shows etc. He was an odd bird

@ Brian D Quite so! I'm friends with Stampfel on Facebook, I'll let him know the Holy Modal [SPELLING CORRECTION OF MY LAST] Rounders and the Fugs have fierce fans here in 'PRB Land.

Steve Weber that's it,,, the other Steve

Ken Nordine 🎤🔊

Evenin' Commie F! Chat heads!

the fugs was basically for my parents haha.

Fuzzy Haskins of the P Funk world!

Anytime I hear Ken Nordine on the radio is a good one

@ Brian D Yes, I think Steve Weber was still in Bucks when he passed away ... and got a big obit in the New York Times.

@ Commie Francis (host) Well, I'm not surprised that you have such awesome parents! :-))

Ken's "Turquoise"... that's when the willy-nilly of the blue mixes with the jibble-jabble of the green ... i think

poppycock, bunkum and tommyrot... and some balderdash on the side

the New Modal Army (opening up for the Holy Model Rounders....)

@ Brian D You are a Modal citizen, sir!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania

I'm requesting more rivka

it's riv's bedtime! i think she is asleep

Oh right that makes sense

I remember Donny & Marie Osmond covering this song in 1974 or 1975 (Deep Purple)

It's nice to hear ?the original

nino and april were brother and sister as well!

also deep purple did indeed name themselves after this song

Oh, that's too much!

Oh, that's also too much!

White Hassle: from the Adrenalin O.D. song

yeah i'm assuming!

😍

😯❤💚

love slf but!

Ooooh! NICE!😍

Cool setbreak

COMMMMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE

Commie "Corny Collins" Francis

hi jimbo! ok marcus i don't know what you mean (i'm familiar iwith hairspray) but i'll take it i guess!

"Transistor Sister" is the kind of early 60's pop featured on the Corny Collins show or shows of that style

Ouch this song is HOTTT

Strange bells in the background

new kriegshog album being announced SOON, i'm very excited. their first lp in 15 years. here's more bells btw

@Marcus Haupt: Or Vince Fontaine's.

Really liked that Contropotere

🌒🌑🌓🌔🌘🌗🌙🌖🌕

Family seemed to get a huge round of applause for a group that I never heard of.

Thanks for the Show Commie!🙏

Loved what I heard tonight, Commie! Thank you!
