With Readie Righteous

Shake off the week, oh Righteous Ones! It's everything from Acid-Folk to Ziglibithy. Light the candles, drape your scarves; this is your time! I bring thee ambient, Afrobeat, international, Tuareg, Tuvan throat singing, queercore, gnawa, pop, disco, post-punk, jazz, soul, R 'n' B, obit-core and more. Opportunistic singing-along with your DJ is de rigeur. Your lagniappe: historical perspective, social consciousness, irreverence.

300 minutes of Readie! Redux!

Again? But that trick NEVER works!

Let's play the NAME GAME! TAndy TAndy bo-BAndy, bonana fanna Fo- FAndy!

Readie Readie Bo-Beadie, Bonana Fanna Fo-Feadie - Fee Fi Mo-Meadie- Readie!

You should make that a station ID omg

OMG- that is a brilliant idea, TAndy! You win the chat this morning! 🤣

I'll proudly display my trophy in the square center of my living room.

Fabuloso TAndy!

I invite you to sing along to this one....

hi readielvira rainbow! https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2017-02/8/20/enhanced/buzzfeed-prod-fastlane-01/original-grid-image-11561-1486602785-6.jpg

This actually made me doze off prematurely for a second there. This is so enchanting

Osssyyyyyyy!!!! Yo!!!!!!

@TAndy- aha! resting on your laurels, eh?!!!🤣

Ossy - lovely image- who is it?

and was watching some episodes of magic school bus btw, last week!

Magic School Bus's Ms Frizzle!

How cool Ossy! Ah! I see! Thanks for the deets, Ossy!

yeeeah, had a back in the past blast! frizzle is quirky, wacky, eccentric cute fun loving crazy!!

Sorry to say- I never EVER rode a school bus. We had to WALK to school. a mile - UPHILL, and in Scranton, that's sayin' somethin'!

Ossy - hiphop poet of the Recherché chat!

LOL wow and brutal at the same time, in walking without a bus ride, something I did in the rest of the high school years, in living nearby there!

Aha, Ossy! TBH - very RARELY would we get a ride from parents, but WOW

speaking of school busses has me thinking of this silly storybook series https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=62c7954774bbe2d8&sxsrf=ADLYWILxm061rNTFyb03ZhAEJwLxNKMZsg:1736437412482&q=stupid+smelly+bus&udm=2&fbs=AEQNm0Aa4sjWe7Rqy32pFwRj0UkWd8nbOJfsBGGB5IQQO6L3J7pRxUp2pI1mXV9fBsfh39JqJxzRlphkmT2MeVSzs3MQEN5DgZmMeykT7pJra3boNLZnu_5tndbt0B1M3XLn1qbCrHVm5u-tncY-lmea9PiStNZ9eJS94DUI766pUVC1fpio1ZP_3qV2amahtpN19jVnfw-T_BjghPRTftMGLk6z20h08A&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwig6ZS5_eiKAxUeGlkFHYUDBpMQtKgLegQIFRAB&biw=1

🤣 stupid smelly bus - hilarious!

summoning DebbieWebby and DTO to the chat 🤣

OMG the drone of this is fantastic

trudging through the snow with icicles hanging from your beard... wind whipping your hair!

vocal majesty!

readie - me and a friend were nerding about that smelly bus book, along with her one sock down, ahahaahah!!

and yes do summon debby's smelly wild loud blasting explosive feral muddy trash lid smashing rubber gloves stretching and boot stomping sauna jacuzzi bubbly popping metal!! XD

You know you can’t count on DTO

AHA! DTO, I knew I couldn't count on you!! 🤣

@Ossy- Poet Laureate of Recherché- again, smashin' it with your veritable vanquishing verbosity of VERY high value!!

@DTO- some Icelandic music from a Faroese chanteuse comin' up...

readie - oooo yeeeaaah, even my high school english teacher wrote a farewell statement for me in saying "thank you for your pordigous use of vocabulary in class, not only you I(she) can count on me to know the meaning of a word, you know how to explain it to the rest of the class" 🥰🩷🌟

and yeah the jimmy carter funeral is happening now!

Yes, OSSY! 😍😍 Love that! I resemble that remark! 😉

All HAIL Jimmy Carter! A true Mensch! Rest in Power!

I'll have some Bailey's Irish Cream in my coffee rn, thx

That pamela z way earlier is appropriate for the dark mistress, btw https://tenor.com/view/chuckle-dr-elvira-mistress-of-the-dark-cassandra-peterson-stress-slashers-netflix-and-chills-stress-slashers-gif-23851613

yeah, lots of powerful eulogies and attendants from past presidents!

@ Readie Righteous (host) Another outstanding playlist today. "Hard Life" by Sault is truly powerful.

I will watch the replay tonight after the Notre Dame Game

@Richard of RH - Thank you! good to see you....love Sault!!

this is the difficult listening 7+ minutes of Recherché (no DTO copyright infringement intended)

Thanks for the shoutout! Difficult listening is available to all!

Hmm, Brandy Alexander....reminds me of a DJ from a nearby university station....

Indeed, DTO, and...you are very welcome!!

Hey Michael S! Howdy! Do tell?!!!

Brandi Alexander show WRSU - 11 - 3 on Tuesdays. She's a real veteran of the station.

Ah!, Thank you Michael S! Is that Rutgers's station?

Yup!

very cool, Michael!!!

She's cool, She's cool - you'd like her.

I will check out her show! Thanks!

Good morning/afternoon, Readie! Greetings from a cold but sunny Green Bay.

Hello Jeff! Cold and sunny & windy here in Central New Jersey! Real Feel- 18 degrees - 33 mph wind gusts!

Wisps of snow in the air!

yeah smells like snow in the air!

@Ossy- don't you love the smell of snow?!?!?!?

totally, I'm snowy smelly cute like powercuteclashing pethie!!!!!!

Yay Pethie! powerclash!

like another 10 - 3, like midday diva patty jackson, who loves smelly mustard!!!!

RIP Jimmy Carter / RIP Dead Moon

@Ossy- yes, I remember the Smelly mustard convo...and what do we prefer? grainy mustard , dijon mustard, yellow mustard...??

@Jimbo Daily- YES! I did a little tribute to the great Jimmy Carter at 10:00 am - a treasure was Jimmy Carter - a hero for our times...

Sorry I missed your tribute. How often does one get to say without reservation "A Great American"?! Let the contrast last for 4 years!!!

Carter's University of Georgia speech can be read in Thompson's "The Great Shark Hunt" (1979).

What is the The Great Shark Hunt about? fascinating

@Jimbo - Agree!- the contrast between the life of Jimmy Carter and the future person...flags at half-staff during the coming inauguration!

@Readie = Zackly! I think it should be 1/3 mast at the appointed hour....

Hi David S - Thompson reminisces about the speech in his Rolling Stone article in June 1976..I played a little bit of it back at 10:00 am -

@JimmyBo! - genius idea!!!! Flags at 1/3 staff!

At 78 years - ain't nothing gonna help a man then = 1/3 stiff! He'll overcompensate w just being a D*ck

The speech: https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/law-day-address-the-university-georgia-athens-georgia

The speech that Hunter S. Thompson called a "king Hell Bastard of a speech"

I, for one, refuse to react to every little idiocy * that will ensue for the next 4 years...we shall get through this!

*unless it requires a resistance reply....

Quite looking forward to hearing it. Thx Readster (w an emphasis on 'Read'!)

Agree. We are done being shocked.

I say: "Shock Back". No person in American Power has ever more resembled the D-E-V-I-L. Right there in plain sight!!!

@JimmyBo- yes it deserves a "read" 😉

I'm not even religious. But I've been saying that Loud & Clear!!

readie for earlier -I so recall that hmmm, great mustard question. someone I know like dijon..and one powerclashing night recently, we ended up speaking of condiments haha, which pethie like that yellow condiment,and maybe plans to do a show of condiments one day!

Let's bask in the goodness of Jimmy Carter...his legacy is a brilliant one!

I am not a rligious person - But I say Carter was a True Man of God!!! (Its what he wanted to be known as, and I'm fine with that!)

totally, a great service and saw some of his grandchildren and biden speak.

also trending https://x.com/Acyn/status/1877369365609460005

@Ossy- good idea - a condiments show!!

@JimmyBo: Whereas Hunter S. Thompson’s first books (Hell’s Angels, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72) can be considered journalistic novels, “Gonzo Papers, Vol. 1: The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time” was a collection of the shorter pieces that spanned his writing career up until then (though it does have excerpts from the previous books).

Its articles that I remember most concern his 1969 Aspen mayoral campaign, Watergate, and the mysterious disappearance of Oscar Zeta Acosta (his partner in the Las Vegas book).

Peter Boyle played Oscar Zeta Acosta in the 1980 movie “Where the Buffalo Roam”, starring Bill Murray as Hunter. Benicio del Toro played Oscar Zeta Acosta in the 1998 movie “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”, starring Johnny Depp as Hunter.

The story of brewing "magic beer" for the weekend parties - South Africa style!

@DavidS - Thx. Very informative. What the heck would Thompson have to say about R*mp? Can't even imagine....

Hi @Jimmy/David Shortell, I love Hunter too, do you recommend any active(currently writing) gonzo personalities?

Sorry Readie,We'll keep basking in the Light of Jimmy Carter today = Great Idea. I keep reminding all to remember these last months of Peace. We'll be here for Each Other!

Hey Readieeeee!!! Just tuned in during the Girlie Girlie track and Wow! Got me dancin' w. Readie W. Reggae!!! :)))

@JimmyBo! Oh yes!!! No worries, no apologies! We SHALL be there! for each other!

Hi Gautham!

Nice to see all the positive comments about Jimmy Carter. So glad to see him recognized for the example

He set for the country.

Hi Alan! good to see ya! glad you liked that! Girlie is a classic!

Readie: That Reggae warmed up the house!

Yes, Jeff! Agree! So poignant and timely to celebrate Jimmy RIGHT NOW! Let us ride the wave of his positivity into the next 4 years!

@JimmyBo: https://thenation.com/article/archive/this-political-theorist-predicted-the-rise-of-trumpism-his-name-was-hunter-s-thompson/ https://theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/12/hunter-s-thompsons-writing-foreshadowed-rise-trump/578395/

I'm not even religious. So glad to say Democrats have a Great, True Christian on their side!!! Thx Alan!

Re: Jimmy Carter, I remember staying up all night till the morning to make sure he had won the Election...memories of an Exceptional man for sure!!!

@Alan, without a doubt! He had such foresight - environmentally, health care, and he promised never to lie to us - and he didn't! Not like so many politicians who settle for lying as if it HAS to be that way! When it really does not!

Jimmy lived his spiritual beliefs!

Readie: A truly Remarkable man!

a surprise Jilly Philly

Yes!!

@Ossy- Philly Jilly for ya!

@ Alan - so true - and his post-presidential life - what an inspiration!

@Ossy- Jilly bringing the spiritual touch today as well!

Reaggiae Train of Righteousness TODAY

@JimmyBo - Indubitably!!!

...and "May Jimmy Carter be remembered as one of those people who is appreciated even more and more as time passes"... ...Thank you President Carter!!!

@alanpasnyk - 👍👍

@Alan- I second that emotion...we shall never forget!

Well said

Jimmy Carter left his beloved nuclear naval career to take care of his father who was very ill....

He knew the sacrifice was necessary...

Ironic he was president when the accident happened at TMI. Glad we had a president that understood nuclear power. And thank you, Readie, for introducing me to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Good music!

Of course, Jeff, You're very welcome! And yes, Jimmy walked the floors of the nuclear plant at that crucial time!

I watched Carter’s funeral. Pence made sure to seat himself away from Trump.

@David S- wow - yes...

Pata Pata: A Classic returns!! :)))

some joy in our hearts, Alan!

:))

Jimmy dancin' his way into Heaven!!

Yes, Go Irish ! Again!

@Alan: Readie's Most Righteous send off for the Man Jimmy!

J B: for sure!

@David; I heard funeral - Did not know your fact! Awesome Dude!

Readie: Thanks for the tunes and tribute!! Enjoy the Beautiful Day! 🤍 🕊️ ☮️ & bcnu!

Great show, Readie! Have a great week. Kathy says ‘Hi’!

Hey- yeah! Travis!!! AGAIN!!

@Alan- thanks to you too!

Haha, I think I caught the end of your show last week and had the same comment.

Radio Beacon of Hope Readieeee!!! Your Radio Waves bounce off the Atmospheric Love-o-sphere!

Thx Jeffry, Love to Kathy too!

@JimBO! Love it!!!!

Love y'all! Stay Righteous y'all!!!

Thanks for a great and long show, Readie!!

You are welcome Michael- thx for hangin'!

Peace, all!
