Good morning Dale! Nice to see you through the clouds
Dale Hazelton 7:38:37 AM
curious about the light around offshore drilling platforms and how it effects aquatic life. also wonder about the vibrations caused by rigs and how that effects fish life.
DJ AskTheQuestion 7:41:57 AM
I'm curious about that too!
Dale Hazelton 7:47:47 AM

Space pollution future topic?
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:05:02 AM

I could not find any Iron Butterfly records! And I'm sticking to the Vinyl Week spirit
DJ AskTheQuestion 8:07:29 AM
Space pollution a-ok
Amy Lee 8:13:06 AM
@Dale - I wonder the same thing. I work in a small office with a loud HVAC unit (but JUST within OSHA regs) that when it's running, vibrates when it ramps up every few minutes. It definitely effects my health & sanity.
Dale Hazelton 8:17:02 AM
amy lee, especially since fishies and marine mammals use sound waves to find food and communicate.

How did that Nerdy Girl escape me in 1995?!?
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:26:49 AM
What else are we here for than to update you on what you missed 30 years ago?
Gautham Kalva 9:48:17 AM
Hi @DJ AskTheQuestion di you accidentally play another song(just a few seconds) after the Heavenly song before the Remmy song? Any idea what that song was?
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:49:22 AM
Thanks for asking -- I think it was a continuation of Hearts and Crosses, but I didn't love where the lyrics were going so I cut it short.
Gautham Kalva 9:50:51 AM
Thanks @DJ - I listen from Phoenix on days I wake up early - good stuff - I have a 12 year old and will ask some questions soon..
DJ AskTheQuestion 9:51:13 AM
