Uneasy Listening Sun May 26 with Commie Francis on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

hiiii i was just making my dog sit in his bed instead of a pile of wires

woof!

nice to hear you again before the break

i'll be on tomorrow too haha

yes! looking forward to it.

is this song for the pup?

hahah yes i guess it is!

Thanks for doing this, Commie!! Was listening to you last night and I didn't get to tell you how much I loved your show!!!

Making your dog sit in his bed instead of a pile of wires!! lol

oh thank you!

Glad that you were able to bring your dog to the studio!

Hello

hi rob!

I'm sure most of the djs have been doing that for years!!

update he's sleeping next to his bed now

Hi Commie, what time will you be on tomorrow?

it's hot, i don't blame him

rob 3-5pm!

Thanks!

I'm glad you asked, Rob from MD! I'm in Montgomery County, PA!! Listen to WPRB in my car for years!

Sorry you have to be in a hot studio!

Hopefully you can get some fans in there!

Tomorrow it's supposed to pour!! I love when it rains on a holiday! lol

Thanks for subbing, C.F.!!!

We appreciate YOU!!!

@ Commie Francis (host) Another fab show .Starting out with a Caroline King demo and Zenda Jacks' classic of sweet innocent erotica and Patrik Fitzgerald's wry working classic Brit take on the world ... all brilliant! Stay cooled by your studio fan and warmed by the appreciation of your multituinous radioland fans.

thanks for the enthusiasm both of you!

i think the internet has told me bad bangs are aussies? when a band comes around singing about philly i gotta investegate.

yes i don't know what their experience with philly!

obviously i played it cause it's called philly

it was a pretty good song! I didn't listen to the words tho

i did and i still couldn't tell

i should say i picked it because it's called philly. i played it cause it's good haha. but there were other good songs i could have played

It's hilarious that the breakaway music is some soothing gaelic song! lol It completely rips you out of the "uneasy listening" which I'm glad some of it is a little melloer than others.

I'm enjoying all the music though - great lineup!!!

I loved the "philly" one!

i try to maintain the jarring transitions!

Wow, they're Aussies that sung about Philly??! Great investigating! I love doing that too ;)

Great retro version of "dizzy"

I'm a Gen Xer and this is my go-to radio station

Wreckless Eric was born in 1954 - Eric Goulden from England

I'm sure I've heard that song on here b4

he actually lived in upstate ny for a long time! until like a week ago or something

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_Wide_World_(song)

he's still putting out records and they are all really good!

@ Commie Francis (host) I'm a big fan of The Battlefield Band and their Brit Isles trad sound, brilliant choice for your mic break backgrounds.

battlefield band is actually another record i got in england!

Great song!! Nustrana Beat - love it!!

They're Dutch

@ Commie Francis (host) Good on you! i got turned on to them via friends I made contra dancing a while back.

Very cool!!!

I'll have to look up contra dancing

sugarfalls yeah they're indonesian-dutch

Oh, thanks for that info, Richard of Rocky Hill

Rocky Hill is beautiful

Never been there but looked at the historic houses on Wik

Probably lots of great fresh jersey produce there

Right - makes sense Indonesian :)

I've looked them up more extensively

but we're just here for some fun ;)

@ sugarfalls1 Right, contra as in opposite to ... because couples form up in long lines facing each other. Traditional dancing from the British Isles, very popular in New England but with enclaves across the US.

Great song change!!

I love the band name Armoured Flu Unit

dog update walter is back on the wires with his head on his bed

big ups to walter

oh! this new band new song! i'm going link clicking!

some proper uk punk right here.

IT COMMIEEEEEEE 💥💥💥

hiya jimbo!

and colin!

This record is like two years ahead of its time

The perfect song to listen to while I read about strong winds and potential hail approaching

yee do ytou have a tornado warning?

No, and we probably won't. But Severe Thunderstorm Warning a little to the west, we will undoubtedly be under a warning soon enough

I got whoomped by a storm driving last few minutes of four hours of driving

For damaging winds and potential hail

Jimbeaux, just now?

Couple hrs ago...had just left Midwest tornado warnings

Yikes!!!

The storms directly heading toward me have weakened some, hopefully they won't get stronger

lucky the stormin was only for the last few minutes of the ride

Lucky, Colin!

definitly the never before photographed parrotadillo

oop puffer is from canada? ohhhhh the bandcamp label is from uk. puffer being canadian still rules

yeah that label pressed their other releases on a 12" for their european tour

or it could be beaverot bird

parrotadillo is a solid hypothesis

Commie, it looks like it could be a parrot? https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/the-english-setters/someday-youll-see-it-shouldnt-happen-to-a-dog/

lemuroucan

But like Colin, I am seeing traces of beaver

half wombat two thirds parrot...wombrot

@ Commie Francis (host) The critter on the glad-hamp record label looks to me like a humbug mashup of a iguana and an armadillo with a parrot's head ...

oh rob i'm glad you're up to hear this next one

Commie, I can hardly wait

Cool!!

richard with the keen eye spotting the missing iguana

Yeeeeeeeeeeooowwwwwwwwwwwqwq

i'd gladdly take seconds and thirds of double-0

@ Colin Why, thank you! :-))

I might have this Double-O record somewhere hidden in the basement

This is wowwwwwww

lol jimoo, i was just running back to the compy to say the same

i already texted 3 people that leyden zar song... holiday weekend!!!!

We both enjoyed your show tonight, Commie!

glad to hear it Rob! give my regards to Lisa!

The storms headed directly toward us have weakened & stayed that way, so we are out of the woods vis a vis wind and hail

Lisa waves back at you Commie!

glad to hear things are calmer! i should have warned about storms in my show last night!

things are about to get very EASY listening around here for a minute

what and death culture is NOT easy listening?

Sorry I missed most of this broadcast. I just came from the Ribeye Brothers’ annual “day before Memorial Day” performance at the Dublin House, where the mysterious Jersey Shore static field has hindered WPRB reception since 2006.

whoah huge thunderclap here

one benefit to walter being old and deaf is thunder doesn't freak him like it once did

ok. i may have missed something, but i'm guessing commie is not in kansas anymore. the storm line in not here in philly or jersey area

maybe it was some other big bang? i was wearing headphones. but it does sound like it's raining now

and it feels electric-y in the air.
