Hey hey hey!
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:08:55 AM
Has anyone actually ever seen Captain Beefheart and Dr. John in the same room?? Are they actually the same person???
Mike Lupica 10:50:29 AM
I didn't hear the break, but did that Hen Ogledd track involve Richard Dawson? Because it sure sounded like him on vocals!
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:50:50 AM
Yup, it's him!
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:51:22 AM
Was reading about his new album, the article mentioned Hen Ogledd, and I was curious. Seems nicely weird
Mike Lupica 10:52:15 AM
Good! Glad I'm not going crazy. I like the new record OK, but sorta miss the sudden departures into viking metal that the last one had. Must've been the residual influence of the record he did with Circle prior to that.
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:52:55 AM
Agreed. I like him a little less wierdo folky

🎉 WooHoo DJ DanRuccia! Guud Stuffs! 📻🎶❣️

Thanks, MrM!

Of course I have a G.O.A.T. Skull Table 💀
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:21:29 AM
The important question: Is it one giant goat skull or a pile of goat skulls all mashed together??
•ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ•💀 11:23:51 AM
Yes

Tomorrow Is An Octopus is a Spectacular Commodity! Big cheers to you, DJ DanRuccia!

Glad to catch the entire show again this week!
Mochi Studios 11:44:49 AM
I was taught not to like glen branca but I liked that song. Reminded me of early husker du
Brian D 11:45:25 AM
Branca was nice! That piece and his peer Rhys Chatham's Die Donnergötter are great big ol stacks of elec guitars. Big walls of sounds
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:46:39 AM
The early Branca stuff where he's just pummeling away on the guitars is especially great. I pulled out my copy of the Ascension for the first time in a while yesterday and it absolutely kills
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:48:15 AM
@Mochi: Out of curiosity, why were you taught not to like Branca? I've heard he could be an asshole...
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:58:52 AM
Thanks for listening, everyone! See you next week
