Rob from Maryland 5:10:01 PM

DJ Tenderloin 5:10:18 PM

Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:10:47 PM
Ha, Tyler.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:11:08 PM

Getting back to Roffle anymore 5:18:58 PM
It's literally two stops away on the EL line, Jerry's on Front is right there when you get off the station. Fantastic! Thank you so much!
Richard Lyons 5:19:33 PM
I like this Funmilayo Afrobeat Orquestra! hello Jon! I picked up a Snaildartha t shirt this week :)
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:21:23 PM
Turns out it is originally by Fela, but works well as a stand-alone too!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:21:29 PM
Amazing, Richard.
DJ Tenderloin 5:25:24 PM
great music for cooking our sides (for tomorrow) to!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:27:16 PM

DJ Tenderloin 5:28:13 PM

DJ Tenderloin 5:28:26 PM
're still having a turkey!
DJ Tenderloin 5:29:03 PM
I love stuffing. stuffing and gravy. i could make a meal of that
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:29:06 PM
Excellent all around.
DJ Tenderloin 5:29:41 PM
what's your favorite side?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:29:58 PM
I waited in a shockingly long line this morning to pick up two pies we pre-ordered in advance. Felt like there should be fresh Jordans at the front of the line the way people were queued down the block and around the corner.
DJ Tenderloin 5:31:45 PM
what kinda pies? love me some pumpkin. and I will put that sides question to the chat as well - favorite Tgiving sidedish. in case anyone wants to play along -
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:32:01 PM
I enjoy a bunch of roasted vegetables as a quality side.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:33:04 PM
Pies I picked up: Purple sweet potato and lemon yuzu icebox. My wife will also make her famous chocolate pumpkin tart to go with said pies.
DJ Tenderloin 5:35:00 PM
i'm liking the sound of famous choco-pumpkin tart
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:35:18 PM
It is very, very good. I will find the recipe.
Getting back to Roffle anymore 5:35:36 PM
Such talk! Dinner prepping time! you guys are making me hungry.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:36:03 PM
I think this is basically it? - https://www.citymarket.coop/recipe/pumpkin-chocolate-tart
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:36:23 PM
Roffle, I did have to get an Emergency Hoagie before I drove home last week because of all the tasty talk.
Patrick Rapa 5:36:24 PM
lemon yuzu icebox (yoyo records, 1998)
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:37:05 PM
That's how you make an entrance, people.
Carlos Ramone. 5:37:18 PM
@DJ Tenderloin…love roasted sweet potatoes. Make then throughout the year but on turkey day add almonds onion and a small bit of amaretto…not a marshmallow in sight
Getting back to Roffle anymore 5:37:35 PM
Yeah, I get triggered to cook around here rather often Jon. lol
Andrew Chalfen 5:38:21 PM
Steamed persimmon pudding. Something like this :
Andrew Chalfen 5:38:33 PM
https://www.food.com/recipe/persimmon-steamed-english-pudding-265887
DJ Tenderloin 5:38:47 PM
@CR - not a marshmallow in sight - Ha! sounds good. I love stuffing. love love love.
Chris Daltry 5:39:40 PM
you and your never ending songs...
DJ Tenderloin 5:39:43 PM
@AC - now that's a side!
Getting back to Roffle anymore 5:40:24 PM
Persimmon is simply the best fruit if you catch it at the ripe moment.
Andrew Chalfen 5:40:32 PM
Admittedly more of a dessert.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:40:46 PM
No rules on Thanksgiving, Andrew!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:41:05 PM
Heya Chris!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:41:26 PM
As long as they keep putting out these CAN live records, I'll keep playing these CAN live records!
DJ Tenderloin 5:42:11 PM
because you CAN. sorry
Getting back to Roffle anymore 5:42:16 PM
Because you can!
Getting back to Roffle anymore 5:42:38 PM
There with ya Tenderloin. lol
DJ Tenderloin 5:42:42 PM
jinx - 1 - 2 3- 4- 5- - you owe me 5 cokes!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:43:40 PM
Ha!
Getting back to Roffle anymore 5:44:15 PM
:)
DJ Tenderloin 5:44:17 PM
jinx - 1 - 2 3- 4- 5- - you owe me 5 cokes - realizing now this may be both an age and regional thing - from when i was a kid. anyone remember this?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:45:14 PM
It was on SNL in the early / mid 1980s so that probably spread to a national thing.
Getting back to Roffle anymore 5:46:27 PM
In the mid-west that would pop for sure.
DJ Tenderloin 5:46:37 PM
it was on SNL cuz it was a thing when I was a kid! we said that when we were like 10 and I'm 58
DJ Tenderloin 5:47:16 PM
from Maryland - DC area - perhaps lots of kids did this.
DJ Tenderloin 5:47:51 PM
the important thing here is that Roffle owes me 5 cokes! Ha!
Getting back to Roffle anymore 5:48:59 PM
I'm good for it Tenderloin! One short of a six-pack is my thing.
DJ Tenderloin 5:50:16 PM
We shall jinx again I'm sure and then I'll just owe it back to ya! cheers
Matt Sabbath 5:53:42 PM
YES MAHN DO YOU HAVE THE CAN JAM MAN
Getting back to Roffle anymore 5:54:03 PM
All good. It's the Rhythm of life Sir Tenderloin. Many cokes abound.
Patrick Rapa 5:54:26 PM
There should be a Jon Solomon Fan cruise that goes to Brazil, Australia, New Zealand and Haledon.
Matt Sabbath 5:54:34 PM
Jon I am making gumbo and am unstoppable, champ. Like an overdriven bass on an Albino-engineered song. A rhino in the kitchen.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:55:16 PM
You all are in fine form.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:55:28 PM
MS, did you watch any of the street-naming?
Matt Sabbath 5:56:12 PM
I have not. I am remiss! But I heard about it and it warmed the ol' heart cockles.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:56:37 PM
I recommend it. Kim Deal's words were especially nice.
Matt Sabbath 5:57:37 PM
I always return to Dude Incredible side one, dude. It's perfect. Kim Deal! I saw them Pixies back in the day, late 1980s. The heroin days (them).
David Shortell 5:58:14 PM
Merriam-Webster states that the word “jinx” dates back to 1902.
David Shortell 5:58:17 PM
Then there’s this from 1958: https://hanna-barbera.fandom.com/wiki/Mr._Jinks
Matt Sabbath 5:59:19 PM
Señor Jinks!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:59:21 PM
Well-done, David.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:00:30 PM
I always appreciated that early Pixies sets were in alphabetical order. But boy were they disappointingly dull when I saw them around then, Matt.
Matt Sabbath 6:00:58 PM
Have t repost this gem from TAndy. Sent it to Ahab too. https://imgchest.com/p/md7oexegd4p
DJ Tenderloin 6:01:32 PM
ok - i'm out - off to deep south philly - well, below Snyder - some friends have rented a house for thanksgiving cuz theirs is too small to cook in! is this a thing? maybe. happy night before! when I was young this was a big bar night, still is I guess. everyone have a great thanksgiving!
Matt Sabbath 6:02:31 PM
Jon I agree, early 90s Pixies didnt grab me much live, but in retrospect I sure wish I'd paid better attention.
Matt Sabbath 6:03:45 PM
Wave of Mutilation was always my Pixies jam back then. Has aged well.
David Shortell 6:04:08 PM
Pixie, of course, was one of those miserable meeses that Jinks hated to pieces.
Matt Sabbath 6:04:37 PM
Lol David S
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:04:55 PM
Naturally.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:05:03 PM
This record on the other hand, captivating!
Rob from Maryland 6:05:07 PM
I think Surfer Rosa is my favorite Pixies record?
Getting back to Roffle anymore 6:05:16 PM
Just made a strawberry-banana smoothie. Now I'm looking at what I also was going to cook for dinner questioning if there is an immediate need. The back burner has arrived.
Randy Marthins 6:05:24 PM
I dated a girl who looked A LOT like Kim Deal; tragically, it ended, nearly fatally (for me, anyway)
Patrick Rapa 6:05:59 PM
kim deal is so good
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:06:02 PM
I went to Syracuse by train for a girl who looked like Kim Deal. As one did in 1989.
Matt Sabbath 6:06:12 PM
Randy M lucky!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:06:13 PM
Good choice, Rob.
Randy Marthins 6:06:20 PM
Last record Steve Albini worked on, is that right?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:06:39 PM
Randy, I actually know the answer to this.
Matt Sabbath 6:06:46 PM
The OG DEATH !
Randy Marthins 6:07:00 PM
I knew you would, Jon
Patrick Rapa 6:07:19 PM
I used to dress up like Kim Deal for a goof when I lived in Syracuse
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:07:49 PM
The last full album SA recorded was the next Mint Mile album (recorded in France as part of a hands-on symposium for aspiring engineers).
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:08:20 PM
He died in the middle of a session for the forthcoming FACS album. Finished his work, went home, dropped dead. The band finished the record with a different engineer two days later.
Matt Sabbath 6:08:24 PM
ah I knew it was an M band
Randy Marthins 6:08:31 PM
"Loud-QUIET-Loud" doc is highly recommended
Matt Sabbath 6:08:57 PM
FACS that's right. Facts.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:09:01 PM
Patrick, are YOU who I watched Apocalypse Now and stole a street sign with??!?
Matt Sabbath 6:09:32 PM
Lol
Patrick Rapa 6:09:35 PM
i'll never tell. but don't get your Pod EP appraised
Matt Sabbath 6:09:47 PM
NEVER GET OUT OF THE BOAT
Patrick Rapa 6:10:08 PM
what kind of street sign and where is it now?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:10:31 PM
I think it was a STOP sign. We carried it back to her house in the snow. I'd guess it is still in Syracuse.
Matt Sabbath 6:10:58 PM
Apocalypse Now is good bro bond
Rob from Maryland 6:10:58 PM
We never made it to Rehoboth Beach to check out Gidgets Gadgets and Blue Monkey that Randy Marthins mentioned a few weeks ago. Maybe we'll make it out there next month
Patrick Rapa 6:15:01 PM
I'm going to spoil my favorite guest stars on Detroiters: The Fat Boys reviving their characters from their movie Disorderlies
Getting back to Roffle anymore 6:15:12 PM
I enjoyed Apocalypse Now with extreme prejudice.
Patrick Rapa 6:16:21 PM
yep, Moped
Patrick Rapa 6:20:05 PM
boo
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:20:55 PM
I deserved that.
Rob from Maryland 6:21:10 PM
@Jon, did you make it down to DC to see Velocity Girl?
Jeff Jotz 6:21:19 PM
Hiya JS! Vicky and I are tuning in and ensuring that a houseful of kids is puzzled over what is playing on the hifi.
Richard of Rocky Hill 6:22:38 PM
@ Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) A "Mal-Tease Falcon"? Ohhhhhhhh ... Please don't talk about the Death of Humor, that's the Rub!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:23:09 PM
Rob, alas no. Wish I had. Heard great reports.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:23:21 PM
Thank you, Richard. I'll be here all night!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:23:26 PM
Jeff! Vicky!
Dale Hazelton 6:23:50 PM
hey now. is there a theme for the requests or just good segues?
Getting back to Roffle anymore 6:24:13 PM
Hifi? Isn't that a contraction for stereo?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:25:27 PM
No theme, Dale.
Dale Hazelton 6:26:58 PM
cool! how about some johnny hallyday?
Dale Hazelton 6:27:28 PM

Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:34:03 PM
A party, it is.
Chris Daltry 6:39:53 PM
this really reminds me of Erik Carlson's guitar playing Jon
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:40:33 PM
I bet Joshua would take that as a big compliment. There's a part that reminds me of another song but I can't quite place which one...
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:40:43 PM
Name your price download, linked in the playlist.
Jen Redlights 6:44:48 PM
hello, jon! it really is the prelude to the 25-hour show. I'm excited.
Rob from Maryland 6:45:13 PM
@Jon, we were supposed to be out of town. But then my wife got sick so we stayed in town, and of course didn't go to see Velocity Girl
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:45:21 PM
Hope she is on the mend.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:45:27 PM
Jen! Hello!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:45:51 PM
Think about the one Thanksgiving we spent together fondly (though there may have been more than one over the years who knows).
Jen Redlights 6:46:28 PM
we need more of those. :)
Carlos Ramone. 6:50:17 PM
Songs sounds like it would be right at home on the Ween country album
Chris Daltry 6:50:26 PM
Jon there's a song called White Electric from the album of ours with the same title that has a really long outro coda thing that's all Erik and that song reminded me of it
Patrick Rapa 6:52:16 PM

Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:03:38 PM
Wish I could be there Andrew, but I'm here on the radio!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:04:03 PM
David, the same Variety! Wanted to get to the show you went to but it was during a very hectic week on this end.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:07:14 PM

Dale Hazelton 7:09:20 PM
yes, she was up in toronto.
