"People of the Loon" by Beverly Glenn-Copeland. Tomorrow is an Octopus Tue Jan 21 with Dan Ruccia on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Hi friends! Good to see y'all again!

Welcome back!

whoop! new schedule!

DJ DanRuccia! Awesome! Hello!

Welcome back Dan R!

y0y0 sick track!

@Michael G: Drive Like Jehu remain undefeated. The longer I'm around, the more convinced I am that Yank Crime is a perfect record.

Hey Brian, MrM, Mok, and Mike!!

Salutations & Greetings, Everyone! Whoa, DJ MikeLupica!

Very nice start to the show!

Heya Dan, welcome back.

Hi TAndy!

@ Dan Ruccia (host) Good to be back in your octopus's garden of shiny sonic delights!

Heard this once before maybe when Angelo passed so great!

Hi Richard!

@Brian: There's a video of it, too. Watching Badalamenti's expressions as he recounts it is amazing

ANGELO BADALAMENTI ❤️❤️❤️

DAVID LYNCH ❤️❤️❤️

WOW

she’s dead, wrapped in plastic

I also saw that the Twin Peaks Z to A box set is about to be reissued...

Crimes of the emergency test system.... in-derp-rrupts the best parts

You remind me today of a small Mexican Chee-wahh-wow Coop!!

Haven't heard this one -- it's great!

I love this voice synthesizer

what type of thinking was that again David>

David Lynch's reading of "Pena" by Don Van Vliet sounded like he'd gottten hold of a lost chapter from William S. Burrouigh's famed hallucinegenic anti-novel Naked Lunch.

Ya the Beefheart world seems to dovetail nicely with the Lynch world

Wao, TWO EAS test tones in one hour!

Again with the emergency test .... . The voice sounds like a cross between Dick Cavett and Vincent Price. A calm Vincent

I confess to sending the first one, but that last one was a monthly test (which we have no control over.) Sorry about all the beep / bloop / buzz!

Yikes! I don't get to hear those from my vantage point in WPRB Studios South. Seems kinda appropriate in the Lynchian miasma?

Just remembered that The Wedding Present cover "Falling."

Ya by the tone of that voice I thought it was a goof for a second. It was very Lynch

A little bit of Hal 9000 in the tone too ha

that Cindy Lee album is very nice

Vliet = vleet btw (ie = ee, ei = eye in the Germanic languages)

jay electronica samples this!

DJ KPC used a mash of the Serge G version and many other sound samples in his show background music. Always makes me think of him even when I hear the Luna version which is great too

Is it Laetitia from Stereolab doing the co lead vocals on this right?

It is Laetitia!

I also love the cello in this version

Jane Scarpantoni maybe?

Probably? It also looks like Tom Verlaine appears on this album too??

new Meat Wave tracks. oh my

Oh yeah the lp. Was thinking the single. ya Tom V is on Penthouse. That very VU sounding song 23 Minutes in Brussels. And I think there is an alt take of that with a diff number on the minutes for fun that Tom is on too

@Mok: Ooo. Will have to check that out!

Spend the entire recording budget on the cover art.

Only the best will do

😂

they should tour with Lame Gretzky

OMG

That is actually a real band

Vampires!

DJ DanRuccia! Of course it’s another TopNotch Show! Well done! Many thanks and kind regards to you, Sir!

Still a relevant piece of political commentary 50 (!?) years later...

Thanks, MrM! It's so much fun to be doing this again

Love the solos. Especially that 2nd one with the womp womp womp blood sucking gtr sound hahah

Neil with that slept on the beach, just woke up and did a vocal take approach. Love this album!

Love a good extended one-note solo

@ Brian D I've always said that Neil Young sucks ... (sorry, couldn't resist)

One o the greatest. Thank goodness for Neil Young.

@ Dan Ruccia (host) Then there are LOTS of Neil Young solos for you to love! ;-D

Thanks for the show, Dan!

Great to hear your voice again Dan, can't believe it's been that long!

Love that inside of the On The Beach lp (Neil) has the color the pattern on the umbrella instead of plain brown cardboard. Loved his lp cover ideas.

Thanks again for the again, Dan.

@Brian: I know! It's such a fantastic detail

The mystery of the glitter packet lp. I doubt it ever really went to print but a great story tho

Thanks everyone! Good to virtually see all of your familiar faces here in the chat! Here's to a great season of music and surviving and hopefully creating some joy in this absolutely insane time.

Glad Octopus is back on the air!
