good evening! is this thing on?

Yes Maam! Hi Dana !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi alan!

Starting with XTC!

Thanks for reminding me - forgot to cue it up in the playlist

was busy making scissor motions with my hands

As you should be while this is playing

Mic is fine on FM!!!

Morn is distracting you..

...his goood looks..

This is cool! I thought it was devo haha

We're ALL Devo!

First time chatter to you your show, greetings from West Philly. Great reception via terrestrial radio!

Welcome, John!

The best thing about FM is...No Freakin' Updates!!!!

And yes, thanks for the DEVO instrumental at the break.

hello! great start!

Hi Richard, thank you!

@ Dana K (host) And here's another Richard with the same sentiments!

And thanks to you as well!

And according to Amazon.com, you can get that 1979 single of Psycotic Pineapple's "I Wanna Wanna Wanna Get Rid of You" is available for a cool $599 ! "Only 1 left in stock, order soon!"

Hello everyone

Hi Rob!

Evening Dana

Ossy!

Hi Dana! My wife was loving this Residents song a whole lot

Your wife knows what's up!

A festive music day today is, on this beautiful day@

I concur with Ossy. Hi Dana

Yo Roffle

Roffle- My school had a music + art spring jam, with a local NJ band called The Looms

And since on top of that, playing Super Mario Party switch

I loved the band room more than anything as a kid. I have this weird thing for the Kyoto Tachibana marching band that is insanely good. Not much impresses me as dozens of people in sync.

I just bet you have a game running at all times Ossy. lol

Big love to the demonstrators and 🖕 to the admins across the country trying to shut them down

hell yeah

Sad I missed the 🍍🍍🍍

It's unfortunate that the federal tiktok ban only happened because they hated that pro-palestine messages are loud and clear on there. Because that platform does have actual issues that were ignored by the feds until this recent development. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Solidarity United!

I'm really proud of the work WPRB News and Culture has done on this

I get not carpet bombing them TAndy, but the Palestinians on large would press a button to destroy NYC in a heartbeat. I do not want Hamas to survive. Period, but the children need not be part of this. That is the outrage that needs to be addressed for sure.

Totally!

okay roffle

Remember which government in the region is responsible for the formation of Hamas. Remember which leader of that government funded Hamas so he could have an excuse to start massacring every single person in Palestine.

And remember who funds said government and sends them weapons.

It's a mess by every metric. No doubt.

A mess created by the people that this country by and large kept in power for decades.

Unfortunately true

If more people knew what they were voting for, our money wouldn't be getting sent thousands of miles away to fund genocides.

OMG YOU'RE PLAYING STUMP??? OMG

Their song Buffalo I think was such an important seed of why I like weird music (and thus WPRB) when my sister's boyfriend showed it to me as a young chef. One of my first YouTube memories. FULL CIRCLE, BAM

HOW MUCH IS THE FISH?

As a former soldier, I get it. Not all was bad for us at the expense of others and that was the point. We are at the top of the world for a reason. It's ugly though. That is true enough. Anyway, not here for politics. I love you guys, but lets do music here.

They need to vote who's fit for a city/country in genuine competence and not by popularity and one sided

Thanks for being civil, guys.

Roffle- Yeah, politics can be toxic, especially on youtube, where they bring it in anything, that gets annoying loathsome

DOES THE FISH HAVE CHIPS

TFUL 282!!!!!

Dana, what is the best way to get in touch re: playing live music on your show?

Roffle People even tried making Princess Peach Showtime and Mario Movie political, no joke for idiotic paranoia reasons LOL

@Ossy, OMG yes, makes my brain hurt! lol This is my refuge to not hear a certain former presidents name. LOL

And you welcome Dana

YouTube comments go crazy as hell lmfao there's so little moderation in there. One of the last wild west places on the mainstream web

@Emeril, you can contact me through my Facebook page (just search for Don't Back the Front with Dana K)

I'm also on instagram, dana__katharine

BAM thank you!

Funny they can turn off youtube comments for most music, anime, games, movie clips etc, but not for nonsensical videos to make something controversial out of nothing

Was good to hear the Princeton report, and that I'm not the only one who thinks that the manner in which that war is conducted is unacceptable...

I just hold back from FB. I know Marvin's page from years ago, but I have issues with it for forgotten reasons and don't really go there. Never needed to really.

Roffle - LOL, that certain one you speak off, they want him to run this year.....I can't XD

Alan - It's a must hear message, for real. Hope other colleges/universities have this action message as well!

Makes me nutz it's even possible Ossy! I just don't get it.

@dana I'm going through your original cover playlist from last week which i missed but heard jon solomon mention, and its super cool! girls just wanna have fun WHAT!!!

It was a really fun show! I missed that Jon mentioned it!

yes i believe it was him who mentioned it!

Girls just wanna have fun! Another reason I love that Kyoto Tachibana band!

Yes, email is probably best

I just didn't want to put it in the chat

👨‍🍳👍

lizards goodly weird 🦎🦎🦎

I think there needs to be at least a bit more DJ promo here. I know it's iffy weird, but I see no conflicts when we want to know stuff.

I get swamped with emails and have been thinking of making a separate one for DJ stuff

I don't mind people contacting me, but it's also my personal email

My delete works overtime on emails for sure. lol

I have thousands of Bandcamp Friday emails I need to delete

I did a purge of 2000 emails last month, at least! It's kooky.

And I dump plenty every week!

Mostly the democrats trying to tell me BS to contribute, but that's their game, so whatever.

torture of pervasive advertisement

P.S. If you do contribute, never give them your email.

That spllit tune was good and so is this!

Actually, this is awesome right now!

omg my head spllit

that was so good

Dana going in a slightly different direction than usual but me likes it..

Spllit are great. Two great albums. From Baton Rouge.

Hey this is Brian Eno

Hi Brian Eno

Dana just turns a Joe punk show into something incredible so,so many times. So good! Love it.

Hi Mr. Eno

Getting from punk to the third hour is always a fun challenge for me

And, thank you for airing the Princeton report!

Such a good ride sometimes too!

Hey Rob, the weather you are sending us looks good!

That's MR joe punk to you, dear Sir

Hey Joe, where are you going with that punk in your hand?

But I played Red Krayola two weeks ago! Me!

I played them 50 years ago!

Do you have room to play something from the new Writhing Squares? If not no worries there's always next week

Hey yoni!

Dana played them when they were new in the box Crayolas? Cool.

I've been bad and haven't listened to it yet

Hello and greetings to all the rockers in the chat

I skipped their record release which is happening right now so

They'll have more record releases

Oh hell yeah

Hey you did mention them yoni! That counts. New releass are always so cool to hear about.

Wish I could keep up, but that's what I'm here for. :)

This is bonkers

The pure research into bands here is priceless.

Greatest band to ever exist

The cerry picking is done!

Gonna get UZ JSME DOMA tattooed on my knuckles

Credit goes to Yoni for introducing me to this band

They are described as "ska" on discogs

Yess YONI

Czech-Ska

CzechoslovakiSKA

Not to be mistaken for Polska

I don't do needles without a doctors call yoni, but... That's funny.

CARDIACS!

BAND CARDIACS

the lyrics to this song make no sense in the best way

Lost count of how many times they changed keys....

This is the shit! Dana, just goes to wild stuff! Just randomly takes me away before I know it. I just love that shit girl!

Hell yeah

That last one could be a lost EDO song but 15 years earlier

Oooh Gong THANK YOU DANA K

Well, thanks the bunch. Moving on.

Thank YOU all

Angel's Egg? Gong? So cool!

....and the Cardiacs guitar player Kavus Torabi ended up on the last Gong album before Daevid Allen passed away...great set tonight!

R.I.P. Daevid Allen

All the way back in 2015

I know, Ira. I was very very sad when he passed

Gong was underrated for sure. I only know about them because of Holdsworth and Esspresso.

Over the years Gong had so many great musicians pass through with many different styles.... ]

Yes sir, a bunch of greats played with them indeed!

I have not listened to this L album in such a long time. Rob in MD remember when WHFS used to play tons of Godley and Creme?

You make me wanna cRYYY

Dana mixes it up so good sometimes! Pure joy!

Ira, yes I do. Thanks for reminding me, ugh. ;-) just kidding

Thanks for this wonderful show, Dana K! Daevid Allen-period Gong rules. Good night everyone!

Thanks for tuning in, Rob! Have a good weekend!

Sleep well Rob.

Later Rob

'nite Rob!

I don't like everyone's show all the time, but I sure like yours a lot Dana. This was good again. Thanks! Have a great weekend!

Dana K! Thanks for mixing it up a bit Tonite. Loved It! 👌 Take care & bcnu!...........................🛸

Thanks Alan and Roffle! Your words sustain me

Great chill and activism party as always! Nice weekend

Creation Art and Chaos Music 🎨🎵

Thanks so much for the show, Dana K. Much love.

Thank you thank you!

Hope you all have a nice weekend. It's gonna be HOT
