Ossy 6:33:29 PM
Evening bani!!! Lots of quirky zany festive scary sounds!!!
Bani (host) 6:35:38 PM
Hi Ossy!! Yes, we are really listening to strange stuff today, but at least for me it scratches my brain just right :)
Ossy 6:37:40 PM
ohyeah, lots of zany strange scary always, haha, especially post-finals reeking week :D
Bani (host) 6:39:17 PM
Oh wow you're done with finals!! I still have them until the 18th
Ossy 6:40:28 PM
pretty much...the blackboards surprisingly still open til next week!
Bani (host) 6:42:01 PM
Wow- so awesome- hope you're enjoying the freetime!!
Ossy 6:44:15 PM
yeaah...and btw something randomly cute! https://www.deviantart.com/deaththeshadow/art/A-Rainy-Walk-1107514271
Bani (host) 6:44:59 PM
Haha- so cute!
Ossy 6:46:03 PM
and saw one there, where Daisy's rubbery rain boots were unaromatic, after a nice cute adventorous walk, teee heee!
Ossy 6:46:58 PM
linked that one to Lizbot, and laughed at it, and reminded her of her kid's rain boots after winter
Bani (host) 6:49:43 PM
Haha yikes- I don't want to imagine it :)
Ossy 6:51:31 PM
another cute random https://i.pinimg.com/474x/3b/3d/85/3b3d8518c15a6adbde7b42d02c41fde3.jpg tis the socks "cat valentine" season ❤️🤍💚
Teresa Peacock 6:52:29 PM
Hey Bani & Ossy! I've taken a short break from baking Xmas cookies -- I just wanted to say that I have been in an ecstatic swoon from the moment you played Wire on! Maybe beginning before the Wire even! <<*swoon*>>
Ossy 6:54:25 PM
hello teresa and mmmm cookies 🍪🍪🍪🍪.makes me want to bake cinnabon and brownies
Bani (host) 7:00:03 PM
Omg thank you Teresa!! cookies sound so good right now
Teresa Peacock 7:01:32 PM
Brownies & cinnabon!!! MMMMMMmmmmmm!!! I've been experimenting with a British-inspired recipe for brandy snaps with ginger whipped cream. The brandy snap part is a success but only after several failed batches. They're like tuilles (rolled-up lace cookies) -- labor-intensive but worth it I think!
Bani (host) 7:02:24 PM
WOAH! the several failed batches are so so worth it- my mouth is watering!
Ossy 7:02:31 PM
now this chat smells so pastry bakery and dessserty!!!
John Coffey 7:03:12 PM
Thankyou Bani for Bunnydrums! I'm longtime friends with Frank Marr and Dave Goerk.
Ossy 7:03:31 PM
btw bani, based on that ariana grande link, seen wicked? 🩷💚
Bani (host) 7:04:56 PM
Oh wow John!! That is actually so cool- happy to play really good music haha
Bani (host) 7:05:10 PM
And NO I HAVENT SEEN WICKED YET MY PLANS KEEP GOING AWRY
Ossy 7:12:26 PM
ME NEITHER!! Was not too huge of actively seeing it, but seeing the mass trends in and out of social media, i should check it out! So many movies to see hard to decided..like Moana 2!
Bani (host) 7:13:25 PM
i have been so excited for this movie for a while- im so upset i havent seen it yet
Ossy 7:13:33 PM
I got a wicked cute pink-green shirt at theatres, as I was checking in to see Dreamworks's "The Wild Robot", before Thanksgiving!
Ossy 7:14:15 PM
Theres also Mufasa coming..and Sonic 3! A mass lot!
Bani (host) 7:14:24 PM
hollywood is back!
Kelly Nielsen 7:14:28 PM
This song is a bop if there ever was one
Bani (host) 7:14:40 PM
You said it Kelly!
Ossy 7:14:56 PM
and that upcoming Inside Out midquel tv series, "Dream Productions"..in seeing many promos and ads!
Ossy 7:15:24 PM
all before your friend, Val, hahaha
Ossy 7:16:01 PM
btw also, have you seen the wild robot?
Kelly Nielsen 7:17:47 PM
Love the party mix version
Bani (host) 7:19:05 PM
i have not seen the wild robot! and yes the party mix is so fun
Ossy 7:21:55 PM
you'll love it and one movie attendant said she's seen it twice, saying it's cute wholesome family and bonding! Made me want to see Wall-E!
David Shortell 7:26:30 PM
Listening to that “Underture”, we see how desperate the Who were to pad out “Tommy”. They reused the “Rael” recording from their previous album two years before.
Bani (host) 7:36:51 PM
Oh wow, I had no idea about the history of that- so cool!
David Shortell 7:38:09 PM
I missed the Blues Magoos when they played in 2015 at Long Branch’s Brighton Bar (R.I.P.).
Bani (host) 7:43:28 PM
:(
David Shortell 7:43:57 PM
I remember the B-52’s 1981 “Party Mix” ep! It was an effort to satisfy consumers during the long interim between “Wild Planet” and “Mesopotamia”.
Bani (host) 7:47:38 PM
Oh!! Well it sure made me happy to hear it haha
David Shortell 7:57:33 PM
The multi-award winning “Robot Dreams” is the best robot movie to come out this year. (Technically it came out 2023 in Spain/France, but it came out 2024 in USA/UK.) I caught it at the Princeton Garden Theater last July, but now I see it’s available on DVD at my library.
