Hey folks!

y0y0!

hey michael!

I am listening! Been enjoying your show this semester!

hahaha amazing!!

Big fan of yours, Dan-- hard act to follow!

Gosh, thanks! You're doin' great!

Back from Pittsburgh, but DJ Pup covers for me tonight. Have a great show, bro.

You'll be missed Jon!! But Pup will kill it for sure :)

Oh I love to listen to Pup fill in for me, that's my plan presently (until I fall asleep early or something).

Amazing

Anyone else wearing their WPRB zebra sweatshirt?

Great set MM. I have mine handy.

Thanks Roffle! It's a great one haha

It really is, cool t-shirt too.

good set, man. talk as little as possible and continue playing great songs.

Potentially backhanded compliment, but thanks?

It's great to hear Swirlies!

And hello everyone

Hey Rob! Happy you're enjoying the Swirlies :)

no, just meant as a compliment. there are 2 keys to good radio - play good songs and don't talk too much. You are doing both! Huzzah!

Haha well thanks then! I try my best

I am! I just found out that one of them is a birder/ornithologist/conservationist, and, lives in the DC area #NotStalkingBandMembers

Whoaaa

Always blows my mind that these people have day jobs

Yup. I'm a birder too

Then I remember the World We Live In

Oh cool! Any cool birds recently

And yup about day jobs. (Though I'm retired)

(Unless my Social Security gets withheld because of "government efficiency"/S)

I know i am new here but am I allowed to point out when a great band is from Boston? My past, you see...

Haha for sure!

Cool birds, yes. A hundred swans on the gull identification trip I was on a couple of weeks ago (and lots of gulls too)

Sweet

Swans -- another band you might hear on WPRB

oldmotorbikeguy, were you in a band from Boston, or are you simply from Boston? ;-)

Same as @oldmotorbikeguy but with CDs I put out in the 1990s...

@Adam, heck yeah. I wore a t-shirt with a swan on it when a group of us saw Swans last year in DC

Now I'm thinking I need to put out an LP just to maintain my cred in this chat

@Rob sweet!

And Swans were SO loud that the whole theater venue vibrated ... to the extent that I was glad that in DC we don't have earthquakes

indeed, i was. not particularly notable, but i got to see a ton and a half of greats shows.

What band were you in, @oldmotorbikeguy, if you don't mind my asking?

@Adam, you should put out an LP!

Haha I'd need to develop some musical talent first

But on the bucket list for sure

from 91-95ish, a band called Chloe. Our frontman was Sammie Macafee, who everybody knows.

actually we started more like 89-90 i think.

super cool!

will have to check y'all out

there are a few live videos on youtube. i had some stuff up on bandcamp but i think they took it down. at this point i feel like it was a "you had to be there" kind of thing. I have a couple of cassettes of us live on

@oldmotorbikeguy, I don't remember hearing (about) Chloe. And I don't immediately recognize Macafee's name

WMBR, and i think those are the best recordings we have. We also put out 2 singles. Good luck finding them. I do have several hundred in my basement though.

So I guess I had to have been there. Darn. Oh well

Terrific sets. Great stuff MM, Thanks.

Thanks Roffle!!!

Really appreciate it

Oh wow - this brings me back

haha hopefully to good times

dope show mouse didn't even realize you played squid! just got into them

haha was pretty early -- new album is terrific

Great sounds today!

Buskirk and I had the same idea

@Ossy thanks!!

been watching there basement session vids

Yeah - saw most of these bands - Ride, JMC, fanclub, MBV at the 930 club in DC. Great times

Sick

Well now I'll have to make sure next week is Surprising

@Adam, this last 35 minutes of your show was great! I'll try to listen earlier in the future

yeah selection has been a step above today sir, a lot of bands i rock with but songs i haven't heard great stuff!

Happy to hear, Rob! Earlier half was a lot of new tracks but think they might be up your alley if you enjoyed this half

Thanks @michael!

Rob, just don't want to get your expectations up.

np it's been great to finally catch your shows catch ya next week

see you all next week!
