Hello hello!
Richard of Rocky Hill 10:11:32 AM
Oh my, Madalena de Melo's "Cantares" ... major thrill chills! And what a clean recording for something from 1936 or earlier. A tribute to both the original engineers and the digital remastering. Thanks for playing it.
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:12:38 AM
Yeah, they seem to have done a good restoration job with that comp. I was shocked how clean that sounded!
Richard of Rocky Hill 10:13:23 AM
Yes, you noticed hat too! :-D
Richard of Rocky Hill 10:13:37 AM
... that too ...
Brian D 10:19:06 AM
Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! wow loved it when this came out. Nick delivered. Grinderman lp as well around that time. Top of his game
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:20:43 AM
Yeah, those records were amazing. Abbatoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus were good, too. Something about Blixa Bargeld leaving the Bad Seeds to focus on Einsturzende Neubauten somehow unlocked the potential of both groups
Mike Lupica 10:20:54 AM
Dan, that live editing was the hott adult content the world needs right now.
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:21:18 AM
As the man says, "prolix, prolix, nothing a pair of scissors can't fix"
Brian D 10:30:34 AM
So glad you are on for this season. Some much needed stirrage of things up on prb daytimes.
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:33:50 AM
Thanks, Brian! It's definitely fun doing all this again!
Brian D 10:37:59 AM
Ya slight overlaps w Betty Davis funk sound (the Ruth Copeland). Good stuff.
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:46:18 AM
My one beef with that Tortoise & BPB track is that it cuts off too soon. It sounds like Evan Parker is about to unleash some glorious Neil Young soloing, but it just fades out...
Brian D 10:49:28 AM
Some pricey collector vinyl out there for that collab
Brian D 10:53:11 AM
Always a good time for Juana
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:54:11 AM
For real. I saw her perform last year, and she was incredible
TAndy 11:19:07 AM
Hey Dan and all! Been tuned in from the start,oves that Thiago Amud song from the previous set.
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:20:31 AM
Hey TAndy! Yeah, that Thiago Amud is really fun. Gotta listen to the rest of the album
Mok The Dinosaur 11:21:03 AM
