Uneasy Listening Sat Apr 27 with Commie Francis on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

お誕生日おめでとう!!!

hello and happy belated birthday!

Happy Birthday Commie! (Fellow Taurus)

Happy Birthday Commie Francis, many happy returns!

I'm suddenly reminded of the Turtles' "Can I Get to Know You Better" and Spanky & Our Gang’s "Like To Get To Know You" (which I saw them sing on Ed Sullivan).

Happy birthday, Commie. That right-wing icon Little Orphan Annie’s 100th birthday is this August 5.

following her up with a nice labor ballad!

for some reason I think of Molto Brutto – "Surfing" when I think of you - (as well as Max Raabe)

Happy birthday Commie Francis!

Happy Birthday Commie “Rachel” Francis. Thanks for working so hard and true. Like so many “Cotton Mill Girls” from the Pennywhistlers. Best wishes and Am Y’israel Chai

Are you the Jeff from Civic Mimic, Holden Wrecks and Glazer?

Haha. Never heard of the dude

But I think he's from Flemington too.

Well that’s a W in his column. Flemington…. Just minutes from downtown Lambertville and New Hope shopping

JC Superstar redux I like the original better. But this DOES have soul

Civic Mimic, Holden Wrecks and Glazer

Sounds like a law firm lol

Kleenex's Marlene Marder was in a good band when she died in 2016. I wish I remembered their name.

Waterloo Sunset. Excellent!!

God, I love “Waterloo Sunset”

it's great! i listened to it approx 10000000 times when i was maybe 22

❤️

Birthday evening Commy and love this song!

Heard this before

HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYYYYY!

*** HAPPY BDAY !!!!!!!!! whoot whooot !

thanks everyone!!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Commie. I hope you had a nice day.

so nice to see you all <3

“Make your own kind of music, sing your own special song!”

Mama Cass Elliot

Driving around listening to the radio, 43 miles from Princeton, we can still hear the station on the car radio.

YEAH!

this song never gets old

happy birthday!!!

i played it 3 times in a row once! love it. although the osmonds have some other heavy hits too

thanks andrew!

Happy birthday, Commie!

I found the crazy horses album at a thrift store when I was in high school and it was unexpectedly mindblowing!

also keep an eye out for the plan!

you see that less often though. honestly even though i like sunshine pop and bubblegum and whatnot i don't like much of the "normal" osmonds

yeah, if they did an album of harder tunes it wouldn't have been half bad

Was Tom Cora on that song? HB!

yep that's him sawing away

good timing chuckles!

this is also on scrabbling at the lock

All Internationale radio show sometime?

i did an internationale hour once!

lol, happy birthday! and this band name is commie.

Cool

way late but Mary that is so cool! i love that NJ is covered from top to bottom with great radio (shout out to wfmu nyc's only radio station)

Thanks for playing my request.

Happily Birthdaayyyyyyyy Commmmmmiiieeeeeeeeee!

I remember that Bikini Kill/Huggybear split for its sound byte from the Hubleys cartoon "Moonbird".

also one from big top pee wee!

great uneasy! .

thanks Colin!

I'm in Delaware tonight and 103.3 fm here sounds like methuselah mouse talking about the protests in Princeton

yeah it's a news break

Oh cool, I just got in the car it's good to know I'm home (in range)

i didn't get your e-mail, try cf@uneasylistening.org, sorry!
