DoublePlusGood Thu May 2 with Lizbot on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Hello!

Hello hello!

Hi Number 6!

Kind of warm out, I hope that there is good air in the Barge!

@Number 6 - I am embarrassed to admit I didn't download your drive show recording in time before the transfer expired! And to answer yr email question: It would be great to have both week's drives shows! I only have partial recordings of each. If you don't mind resending! Sorry about that! I will def download in time this time!

Hello Lizbot, straight to the prog!

Hi Bud Burroughs!

@Bud Burroughs - It's just that kind of day!

Okay, will do.

@Number 6 - Thanks so much!

Hello

Fursdee noyt

Hi Brian D!

@Brian D - Naught Fursdee noyt, Fursdee dee

Sun is blaring on me at the moment. I might get a little crispy

I'm fine, but today I woke up with a crazy headache, and then, to my delight, found my car had been broken into in the night...but broken in isn't quite the word because they didn't smash a window this time. My driver's side door was jimmied open and everything was riffled through and my truck was wide open. Nothing seems to be missing. Creepy.

Birdtastic❣️

@George Korein - Birdtastic Celebrations for Springtime!

vernal

@George Korein - When you're yearning for the vernal here's a kernel of birdnel

@ Lizbot (host) The Birdsong Project tracks were so intriguing. And I always have a flare for Sparks!

Hi Richard of Rocky Hill!

@Richard of Rocky Hill - Glad you enjoyed them! I love birds and I love Dan Deacon and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, (but especially DD!) so a natural choice!

Moon hooch! Saw thes guys years ago at ardmore

@Richard of Rocky Hill - Summer of 2023 Sparks show at The Keswick was so great.

Hi Tyler Blaetz!

@Tyler Blaetz - I really like their albums but have yet to see them live. Been on their mailing list for a while

@Tyler Blaetz - Did they play Ardmore Music Hall?

They did. It was so much fun, there was so much dancing happening

@Tyler Blaetz - Oh man! Sounds so fun! I would love to have seen that!

Hello everyone

Lizbot, bummer to hear about your car

Hi Rob from Maryland🦅!

@Rob from Maryland🦅 - You missed the birdsongs! Or maybe you heard them. I played two bird songs near the top of the show

I saw and heard many catbirds today and yesterday. They're baaaack

I did hear the birdsongs, at low volume! Tweet tweet :-)

@Rob from Maryland🦅 - Yeah, it could be a lot worse. My car seems to be functioning fine and they didn't find anything of value. They could've done a lot of damage if it had rained last night since they left the trunk open. Mostly I'm just shaken up, and I fell asleep on the sofa last night so close to where my car was parked

@Rob from Maryland🦅 - Oh YES they are! They were REALLY squeaking hard in my yard yesterday!

@Rob from Maryland🦅 - At sundown on Tuesday one of the catbirds sounded off for a long time, and when it finally stopped, I said to my husband "I guess it's done finally" and then suddenly it popped up 5 feet from me and resumed squeaking! It's like the star of a birdy horror film that's scarier than anything Hitchcock came up with!

aaaah! So much gooey Yugoslavian fretless bass on this Gas Max track!

fretless bass & detuned guitars

detune-a-palooza! detuned synth joins in

hi lizbot!

Hi Andrew Gruen!

underappreciated great JR tune

@Andrew Gruen - For real! I miss Jojo. I hope he plays Philly again soon

@Andrew Gruen - He came to The Bell House Brooklyn in March, but no Philly show. Only PA date was in Pittsburgh. If I couldve gone up to NYC then I wouldve

This one is 🆒

And also 🔥

@George Korein - glad you're enjoying!

This is Great!

Hi JimmyCarter IsMy Hero!

@JimmyCarter IsMy Hero - Glad you're enjoying it! Mephisto Habibi is Philly-based musician Julius Masri

@Lizbot: "You've got catbirds!" instead of mail

Congratulations to listeners who had 5:20 on their DoublePlusGood Sparks Bingo card today! Keep listening in case there’s another Sparks track between now and 8!

@Rob from Maryland🦅 - so true. They announce themselves every day...just in case I was worried they'd relocated their nest to a different yard!

[Beep boop]

Hi Wes Steenson!

Hi TAndy!

@Wes Steenson - You've won a free latte made with Russell Mael's tears!

@TAndy - Early riser today!

Yeooooo BOT! 🤖 🦾 How did I miss my favorite Magma song? 🌋

@Lizbot, this morning I saw a Cape May Warbler (a migrant species in the mid-Atlantic) and yesterday I saw a pair of Baltimore Orioles

Hi jimbooooo!

@jimbooooo - Oh rats! There might be another Magma attahk later in the program if I can fit it in!

@Rob from Maryland🦅 - The birdhouse at the Philadelphia Zoo has this surround-sound "4D experience" where they spritz you with water while showing the migration of a rotund animated oriole, narrated by said oriole. I always went in there to cool off when I used to take Hattie to the birdhouse when she was little.

@jimbooooo - We need more spirituals with complete nonsense words in Kobaian and other made-up languages

Does the spritzing replicate bird peepee?

Hi Space Liz Susan

@jimbooooo - The spritzing happens during what's supposed to be a harrowing thunderstorm that temporarily throws our avian hero off-course, but instead it's a delightful cool misting

Hi Ossy!

Maybe birds don't pee...maybe a combo excretion deal...

@jimbooooo - I was led to believe the white portion of their "pooP

@jimbooooo - ...is urea or whatever is in bird pee!

How's it going, Ossy? I'm just space-Susaning around here

The drumming on this one is 🤘

@George Korein - True! One of my favorite Associates tracks

@George Korein - I wonder if Juana Molina's dad knew Astor Piazzolla personally, at least somewhat, from the tango scene in Argentina

I know not, but I’m sure Piazolla loomed large

@jimbooooo - I still think fondly about that dark and largely empty oriole migration theater, built solely to screen that movie every 15 minutes, and how refreshing it was in there after being melted by the sun's rays all day at the zoo on a spring or summer afternoon. It was also always extremely cold in that room.

@George Korein - this is a jaunty piper march of a tango!

@George Korein - I'm sure everyone wanted to play with Piazzolla

I'm down at the schuylkill river park, smoked two Jay's, had to get on here to say your set is KILLIN it tonight ! 🫡luv the tunes

All space ambience good, Liz!

Hi Armand H!

@Armand H - Thanks! Great day to be down in the Schuylkill River Park!

@Ossy - Glad to hear it!

Thanks will do! It's a beautiful day

@Lizbot, that's interesting about the Philly Zoo

@Armand H - I've got sun rays blasting through the window of my studio onto my face, so I'm enjoying this day secondhand!

@Rob from Maryland🦅 - I haven't been there in ages, but when Hattie was little we lived very near the zoo, and we went frequently. Our favorite annual event was Boo at the Zoo where all the kids dressed in costumes, but the best part was all the animals who could eat pumpkin were given whole pumpkins, and the bears used to absolutely love ripping apart the pumpkins and scooping their goop with their paws like Winnie the Pooh with a honey jar

dang

Hi all, Just joining. Zamfir called to me.

Hi Alex from Media!

@Alex from Media - That was a rollicking Zamfir song! I first heard his music watching Peter Weir's "Picnic at Hanging Rock" in the early 90s. That soundtrack is haunting

Loved the Yma Sumac and really everything you've been playing. Great show Lizbot!

@ Lizbot. They would be hawking Zamfir and his pan flute on ads during late night chiller theater in the 70s.

Hi Kelly Nielsen!

@Kelly Nielsen - Thanks! I'm glad you've been enjoying it!

@Alex from Media - haha, true

@Alex from Media - I guess Chilly Billy loved that Night of the Living Dead and all the other George A Romero zombie movies were set near his hometown, enough so that he played those movies all the time. I still get a kick out of the fact John Carpenter's Halloween is set in my hometown, albeit, they changed NJ to Illinois, but Debra Hill, who wrote the script, wanted to leave it as NJ. Officials in my uptight hometown complained!

@ Lizbot a) Loved all that stuff. b) Town boards got no sense of humor.

@Alex from Media - True. Especially my home town. Pandemonium broke out over someone painting their house purple. I am not kidding, sadly.

@Alex from Media - Debra Hill still got away with calling the town Haddonfield (there is no Haddonfield, Illinois) and featuring her old high school, even if she didn't get to shoot any of the film on location

Hey hey!

@Lizbot, animals at the zoo, scoop up the pumpkin goo(p), as does Winnie the Pooh

Hi addie🐍🐍plum!

So happy to be here! How are you all?

@addie🐍🐍plum - Yay! It's a beautiful day in Philly/Jersey, but my car got broken into last night!

Oh noooo!

@addie🐍🐍plum - yeah...I already woke up feeling weird and lightheaded with a bad headache, then George goes outside and finds my trunk popped, my door jimmied open and the whole car riffled through

At least they didn’t break any windows?

hello. good music here.

@Rob from Maryland🦅 - I misread that as scoop up the pumpkin poop at first...I'm sure some zoo employee was tasked with that job later!

Hi Dale Hazelton!

sorry about your car. being violated like that sucks.

I had kind of a weird morning, doing my union steward duties, had to sit in on someone being fired.

@Dale Hazelton - Thanks! I am glad you're enjoying the music!

@Dale Hazelton - yeah, it sucks, but could've been worse

@addie🐍🐍plum / Dale Hazelton - They didn't break any windows, thankfully! I've heard from my neighbor that these car fobs can be hacked from afar to unlock cars! I guess you'd have to store the keys in a faraday box at night to avoid that!

had a gps and a shortwave stolen from our car last 4th of july. but to be fair i was drunk and didn't lock it. thieves hit a bunch of cars knowing the cops would be at the area where the fireworks would be to direct traffic.

@Dale Hazelton - It's disturbing. The car was right by my door and I was sleeping on the sofa near that door half the night last night. I hate that feeling

hacking fobs - cyberthieves!

@addie🐍🐍plum - oh no. Great to be part of union duties, but yeah that's rough. It's a pretty but very weird day. I've been having a good time during the show, but kinda out of it all day

@Dale Hazelton - yeah, it's ridiculous! Who has time to remember to pop their car key in a faraday box every night?!

I really like Juana Molina but her music has the flavor of tapping your leg when you're nervous.

it's like how people used to open garage doors and steal stuff in the day. only so many garage door codes to be had. with today's tech they can probably hack thousands of codes in seconds.

@Alex from Media - hmm, yeah I can see that.

@Alex from Media - I think some music aggravates anxiety and some kind of...complements it, if that makes any sense!

@Dale Hazelton - yeah, unfortunately. I am pretty thorough about checking to make sure doors are locked, but this newer tech doesn't always have our backs! Maybe that's why I don't feel comfortable switching to those key code house locks! I still trust a physical lock. I never lived in a house that had a garage, so I never experience garage break-ins, but probably the only thing of value I'd keep in a garage is bikes. Everything else would be hoses and potting soil and that kind of time.

@ Lizbot. For clarity her music describes a subconscious state which burns with high energy (that I inhabit). So I'm sympatico and fall right in with it.

Love that live Juana. Then seamless Horse Lords. Good stuff

@Alex from Media - ah yeah. Same! She really established a sound that is very much her own!

Hi Brian D!

@Brian D - Glad you're enjoying. Gotta love that just intonation!

I joined late... but have to rehash some about Picnic at Hanging rock and Zamfir. I first watched film in Houston in 1980.. watched it 4 times and hosted "Pizza and PAHR parties" I thought I was alone. Do you know there is a facebook site absolutely jammed with posts (even this year) Absolutely rabid fans..

The seamless horse lords of the chocolate Pocky Clips

Here is just one outtake with Zamfir music https://www.facebook.com/oliver.twist.5/videos/5151658021615240?idorvanity=661779523876633

Hi Don Hamp!

Trivia. Do you know the actors banded together to fight Peter Weir who wanted to change the ending.... this was decades after the movies release.

They said the movie was no longer his... but belonged to the world. FB https://www.facebook.com/groups/661779523876633

@Don Hamp - Oh wow! I gotta check that out! I even had a homemade WPRB station ID that samples Picnic at Hanging Rock that my husband and I made in 2020. I showed my daughter PAHR when she was around 12 and she loved it

Wait - Zamfir - master of the pan flute?? - Like as seen on TV commercials??

@Don Hamp - I did not know that about the ending, but I know the book's ending is very different!

Hi .Fräncis!

Car wash sound track Horse Lords and song after going on now. A bit hard to hear what with the loud water blast and brushes and radio signal not reaching in here. But fun nonetheless

@Brian D - mmm, Pocky chocolate

I have not watched it in over 30 years... do you think it holds up.. I was afraid to destroy my memories of it.

Hello, Hello

@Brian D - Horse Lairds, Bairds of the equine intonation

The book is trash... I am not sure PW even read it.

@.Fräncis - One and the same!

@Don Hamp - I picked up the book and never read it. I heard it [at least used to be, I don't know about these days] get assigned often to Australian schoolchildren. I'd image not so much any more, but it was a trend

Is he the aural equivalent of Bob Ross?

@Don Hamp - Oh I think it very much holds up, but I can't stand the remake

@Brian D - I miss going through those car washes! I used to hit up the Bubble Tunnel on North Broad Street, but then it scratched my car pretty badly. Kinda worth it for the fun automated brushes though! Going through those things and being all the blurred soapy colors of th bushes whirling past you is a bit like the trippy creepy boat scene in Willy Wonka (the original)

This is from my favorite Bond movie (if we're allowed to like Bond movies anymore).

@.Fräncis - Quite possibly so! I think those ads and Bob Ross would both be seen by kids watching TV in the middle of a weekday while home sick from school!

Just getting on line, remember the car washes where you could walk along a gallery while your car got towed by a chain drive through the whole shebang?

@Alex from Media - I love You Only Live Twice, A View to a Kill and Live and Let Die...oh, and The Spy Who Loved Me. I grew up with an older brother who loved Bond and controlled which videos we got to rent while our parents went out to eat without us and left us pizza and VHS rental money. Saw all those movies dozens of times. Tanaka and his trick door turning metal slide entrance to his amazing mid-century mod office always blew me away in You Only Live Twice

@Alex from Media - PLUS you can't deny the greatness of the Nancy Sinatra opening song!

Hi Andy Wing!

@Alex from Media - And I love the Little Nellie helicopter in a suitcase scene and the theme music for it

@Andy Wing - oh yes! The carwashes of my childhood! Some you could ride in and some you could walk alongside

@jimboooooo - here's more Magma, as promised a couple hours ago!

When I worked at SEPTA I would ride the EL through the wash many times.

@Lisbot - i was eating dinner so couldn't comment. do you have a kia that was supposed to have had a recall? i think it was a tiktok challenge, breaking into kias with a cell phone....

@ Lizbot, whole sound track is great. I have been known to use Tanaka's line "She is very sexiful" on occasion, to the great confusion of others.

Hi Liz! We went to the wash at the bottom of Lawrence Rd in Broomall, next to the old Gentilese market.

@Number 6 - oooh, I never thought about train washes! I guess I sort've assumed that was done by hand, but that would be extremely laborious!

Great show Liz!

ooph, lizbot...not lisbot...(hiding face in shame).

@Dale Hazelton - i had not heard of that [particularly whack] tiktok challenge! I do not have a kia though. What the heck, ppl of tiktok?!

digging the magma....

Thanks Ossy!

@Lizbot,- They do wash the insides by hand, and the outside to some extent.

@Dale Hazelton - haha, no problem! It's lizbot with a lisp!

@Alex from Media- oh my god, I always quote that line! makes me laugh!

Ya tonight I did not go for the longer TRIPLE COLOR FOAM BLAST or whatever the d-lux wash was. Just get the pollen and beach air gunk off the car w basic wash... soon to be dirty again thanks to the green tree daily dustings

Thanks for another good show, BCNU!

Thanks for the great music!

Thank you, Lizbot!!

Great show what I heard Liz

Gracias por la musica, Lizbot

Thanks Kelly Nielsen!

Thanks Brian D!

Thanks Rob!

Thanks Alex and Number 6!

@Brian D - I had the TRIPLE COLOR FOAM BLAST for dessert last night and my stomach is still recovering

The song "La Perla De Chira" by Yma Sumac is a tribute to Sullana, a city in the northwest of Peru. The lyrics talk about the memories the singer has of her hometown and the things that make it special. She remembers the "marineras" and "palanganas" dances, as well as the rides in canoes during the mornings. She reminisces about the picnics and meals she had with her friends, such as "seco de chavelo" and "estilao de la Simona," and the delicious taste of "claro" beer served in a "chirihuaco" container. She also mentions the different families she visited, such as "casa de la cristina" and "donde bayona," and the women who made an impact on her life, like "mama de la Asunciona." The chorus repeats her longing to return to her homeland and reconnect with her "gallada," or group of friends, to continue the party and relive the good times.
