Habitat Enrichment

May 23, 2024 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM

Music

With Krista

Habitat Enrichment is the concept of introducing novelty to an animal's enclosure to keep it from getting bored or sad. Let me play you something fun. Genres span world and time, just like a cat with a box to play in.

Some specialties you can usually hear a little on my show: Luk Thuong, 60s crooners, cow punk, and synthwave. If you don't like the song currently playing, wait approximately 2 minutes for something else!

stumbling through the fog

songs to lead you through the fog. into a swamp? out of a swamp? your choice

good morning, TAndy

Good morning Krista & Tandy! Aliens don't get tired.
Krista (host) 7:08:57 AM
if I were an alien, I would hope to be an Andalite, with hooves and stalk eyes and a big scythe tail
Dale Hazelton 7:08:59 AM
morning. i saw something that looked like a plane when i was a kid. had no fuselage, flew very slowly and had irregular lights on it. made no sound.
Dale Hazelton 7:09:44 AM
basically flying wings. could have been the guv'ment for all i know.
Krista (host) 7:09:52 AM
that sounds very much like what many people report when they see them, Dale. del Toro saw one and was mad it was so shoddy

good morning amy and dale :)
Dale Hazelton 7:15:12 AM
there's a ufo festival in the town of pine bush ny not far from me. it's basically a reason for a street party - kids having green face paint and folks selling nine dollar hot dogs.
Amy Lee 7:16:02 AM
Husband saw very similar Dale. I woke up one night as a kid & the entire outside was illuminated by a red light (no close neighbors) & no sound.
Dale Hazelton 7:16:02 AM
hey now TAndy and amy lee....
Dale Hazelton 7:20:18 AM
amy lee, i guess they came here and didn't find us very interesting, so they moved on.
Krista (host) 7:21:24 AM
the idea that they could pick up the transmission and listen is so wild to me
Krista (host) 7:22:08 AM
I love thinking of a world where all they know of humans is radio broadcasting and I like to think they listen to WPRB
Amy Lee 7:23:30 AM
We're probably failing them - infants compared to the other planets w/life they monitor.
Amy Lee 7:26:10 AM
Maybe they named their planet WPRB.
Krista (host) 7:26:49 AM
they celebrate holidays through a WPRB lens. for them, halloween is a month long killbot special
Dale Hazelton 7:27:30 AM
if they are they may be working on stitching pink's blanket. it's cold in space.
Krista (host) 7:28:01 AM
I would say they have no frame for Christianity except as seen through Jon's Christmas show but the Vatican just came out with their own disclosure a few days ago

i hope the catholics don't get to the aliens before I do tbh, their track record for contact is...bad
Dale Hazelton 7:33:50 AM
i hope they bestow the granting of indulgence on my poor wretched soul.

I have a niece Aoife. Will have to introduce her to the music of Aoife O'Donovan.
Krista (host) 8:03:11 AM
her album "Fossils" came out on my birthday in June 2013
alastair 8:03:18 AM
Lovely program as always, Krista. Re: Catholics & aliens: ever read Mary Doria Russell's the Sparrow? Just your average Jesuit / first-contact situation...
Krista (host) 8:04:31 AM
no, I've never read it, alastair! i'll have to pick it up. I'm reading Split Tooth right now by Tanya Tagaq
alastair 8:06:52 AM
ooh, Split Tooth sounds cool. I love that it just doesn't fit into the Official Colonialist Publishing Industry genres!
Krista (host) 8:08:45 AM
it's a hard read if you have childhood trauma but also enlightening so far. I'm not far in because it is a hard read
dan Cochrane 8:23:46 AM
Krista, didn’t WPRB have a music and knitting show? I can’t find it on the schedule now.
Krista (host) 8:24:55 AM
hi dan, stitchin pink does music and fiber art
dan Cochrane 8:26:09 AM
Thank you! I knew I wasn’t dreaming it.
Dale Hazelton 8:29:39 AM
have a dehumidifier going now. otherwise - mold.
Krista (host) 8:31:40 AM
I've got 3 going, Dale
dan Cochrane 8:33:35 AM
So sorry, but I don’t find stitching’ pink anywhere on the schedule. Have you discussed cicadas yet?
Ossy 8:35:27 AM
Hi Kris
dan Cochrane 8:35:32 AM
On Soul Train they’d line kids up, ask them, “hey killer, what’s your sign?” Then, “what are you doing now?”
dan Cochrane 8:36:05 AM
Yep, “Hot fun in the summertime”.
Krista (host) 8:42:03 AM
hey Ossy
Dale Hazelton 8:46:28 AM
gonna duck out. thanks for the music. have a good one!
Richard of Rocky Hill 8:47:28 AM
@ Krista (host) I love the Strange Creek Singers! The members dominant on that track's vocals, Mike Seeger and Hazel Dickens, are no longer with us but their authentic, deep roots music and memories of them as very fine people live on. Thank you for the play.
Krista (host) 8:48:53 AM
they have a great labor song on the album, of course, but I do love a sentimental loss of love song sometimes
Richard of Rocky Hill 9:05:05 AM
@ Krista (host) And that's an almost unique old-timey music loss of love song song: the sorrow but with the strength from having a straight-ahead understanding of the situation.
Richard of Rocky Hill 9:14:07 AM
Lulu Belle and Scotty, and their classic "I Wish I Was a Single Girl Again"! Love the verse about being gifted a gingham apron -- and then shown to the kitchen sink! BTW, if you want a powerful song about miseries of marriage from the woman's perspective, definitely listen to "True Life Blues" by Bill Monroe or a cover of it.
Christine 𓅓 9:14:48 AM
Loving these selections, Krista. Hirosh Sato 💜
Krista (host) 9:15:13 AM
thanks, Christine, I love Hiroshi Sato

MokestMouse 9:19:45 AM
this guy has the best dance moves
Krista (host) 9:21:01 AM
He does. I've been a fan of his since they were the Art Lords and the self portraits. I had the privilege and honor to see him in tiny venues and get sweated on. In real life he is magnetically charismatic, a master of the stage
Krista (host) 9:21:26 AM
he can kick really high, he gags himself and throws himself into his emotions on stage and its really something to behold
MokestMouse 9:32:34 AM
lol
