John Coffey 3:08:11 PM
This past summer when there were technical difficulties, I actually thought this repetitive jazz riff was a chosen song by the DJ. Figured it out after 10 minutes. 😏
Mike Constantine 3:09:11 PM
I have the song on a ew downtempo comps

Jon Solomon 4:22:51 PM
The Pitchblende Instagram that went up recently has been great for 1990s flyers and photos. Recommended!
Rob from Maryland 4:24:02 PM
Ooh it's the November Working Holidays 7" from Simple Machines!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:24:31 PM
remember how fun those were? one of only a few subscriptions I had the foresight to buy
Rob from Maryland 4:25:17 PM
Yes, they were fun, though I waited too long to subscribe so I had to hit Go! Records at the first of every month
Matt Slingshot Sabbath 4:25:49 PM
I always confuse Simple Machines with Steve of Mudhoney's boutique label
Rob from Maryland 4:26:30 PM
My favorite Working Holiday was/is January because of the Scrawl song 11:59 It's January
Rob from Maryland 4:26:57 PM
Matt, what is the name of that boutique label?
Jon Solomon 4:27:01 PM
I have a cover of that Scrawl song I need to listen to when Jen's show concludes...
Jen Redlights (host) 4:27:59 PM
@rob me too!!
Matt Slingshot Sabbath 4:28:46 PM
@RobMD Super Electro
Rob from Maryland 4:29:06 PM
Jon, who covers the Scrawl song?
Jon Solomon 4:29:30 PM
The Bret Tobias Set.
Rob from Maryland 4:29:54 PM
@Matt, thanks! *That* sounds like the title of one of my favorite Stereolab songs
Rob from Maryland 4:30:52 PM
@Jon, thanks! Never heard of him, I see he's from Philly
Matt Slingshot Sabbath 4:31:16 PM
rumor has it me & DSM will be like Old Guys in the Balcony of The Muppets during Jon's show, albeit in altered states, but just rumor
Jen Redlights (host) 4:31:26 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:31:36 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:32:16 PM

Matt Slingshot Sabbath 4:32:50 PM
https://media.tenor.com/qFN5VGC7xJQAAAAM/muppets-muppet-show.gif
Jon Solomon 4:33:11 PM
This is going to be year 36. No need to be sorry!
Rob from Maryland 4:33:16 PM
@Jon, on the bandcamp page for the Bret Tobias Scrawl cover I see "recorded and played by me and sung by Krista" ... is this Krista the WPRB dj by any chance?
Jon Solomon 4:33:46 PM
Near-certain it is a different Krista.
Rob from Maryland 4:34:01 PM
@Jon, good to know, thanks!
Brian D 4:34:22 PM

Rob from Maryland 4:54:24 PM
Or, better: Los Bobos A La Minorista
Matt Slingshot Sabbath 4:54:47 PM
Jen it is super easy, and I had a hankering for my beloved balt peanuts which I used to gobble from Atlanta gas stations. The more branches and garbage in the brine, the better.
Matt Slingshot Sabbath 4:56:00 PM
Nardwuar, nemesis of punks everywhere. Steve Albini was SO patient with him. Rollins was not.
Rob from Maryland 4:56:06 PM
Alright, time for rum and eggnog.
Jon Solomon 4:56:34 PM
I need to watch the Nardwuar / Chappell Roan interview.
