Gotta love a proper function check. :)
Apocalyptic Roffle... 4:51:58 PM
Welcome back!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 4:57:04 PM
Thank you! Got to hear most of Pup's fill-in and it was quite good.
Dan Wade {2} 5:00:58 PM
Hello there!
Apocalyptic Roffle... 5:01:00 PM
Solid backup is cool. :)
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:01:06 PM
Hey hey, Dan.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:02:25 PM
Off we go!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:04:55 PM
Hope you all have been well and continue to be well.
DJ Tenderloin 5:05:32 PM
I've been as well as can be expected - howdy Jon, greetings chatters
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:05:45 PM
Welcome home, DJ Tenderloin!
Rob from Maryland 5:06:30 PM
Hello Jon, DJT, Roffle, Dan, and future chatters
Dan Wade {2} 5:06:37 PM
DJ Tenderloin - I still need to email you about...the thing. Hopefully work calms down in the next month and we can find a time.
Patrick Rapa 5:06:46 PM
As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.
DJ Tenderloin 5:07:30 PM
DW - work has sadly slowed - but now busy with many house projects - but yes, anytime!
Richard Lyons 5:08:11 PM
hello everyone!
Apocalyptic Roffle... 5:08:14 PM
👋 Defrosting dinner time.
Dan Wade {2} 5:09:04 PM
DJT - Spring is always my busy season.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:11:29 PM
Rob! Patrick! Richard! Hello!
Patrick Rapa 5:11:50 PM
Hello! I'm glad I'm here for the chunk!!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:12:45 PM
Good song! We rocked it on the drive back from school yesterday. Was nice.
.Fräncis 5:12:59 PM
Really like the guitar sound for this band. Vaguely Wedding Present tone wise.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:13:38 PM
I suspect they would take that compliment, .Fräncis.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:15:43 PM
I have listened to this track like 20 times this week. Good for running!
.Fräncis 5:21:04 PM
Molina writes such simple sounding songs,
.Fräncis 5:21:37 PM
but they are so capturing, and always draw me in. Too bad
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:22:04 PM
I own this box set but I have yet to play it because I don't want to be THAT sad.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:22:39 PM
I got hit HARD by an unexpected cover of that song a couple days ago. Was not prepared!
Dan Wade {2} 5:24:18 PM
I'm still bitter about Ghana-USA in the 2006 cup.
Patrick Rapa 5:25:58 PM
I have to leave now. :( please don't play anything till I get back.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:26:43 PM
Ok.
DJ Tenderloin 5:31:55 PM
Hey DW - no worries - whenever you're ready. i'm busy painting the steps - and the ceiling! s'good to have tunes for paintin'
John Moriarty 5:39:27 PM

Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:40:03 PM
Hey, John! Enjoy this ride.

Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:42:22 PM
Name your price download, linked in the playlist. Heard a shorter one from this same record on Jen's show last week...
.Fräncis 5:43:31 PM
This band did not look at all like I pictured them to look like
Rob from Maryland 5:44:04 PM
Ghost Whale ... great name and wonderful cover
Dan Wade {2} 5:44:43 PM
I assume they're named after asphalt?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:45:46 PM
Where can we see what they look like?
.Fräncis 5:46:15 PM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOsN49I5Gek
.Fräncis 5:47:01 PM
I was expecting them to be electronic/keyboards for some reason.
Travis in Ganjarado 5:47:05 PM
Hola Mr Hand. Late to the party, but Ghost: Whale is a pretty good (long) tune.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:47:50 PM
Ghost out of life with Whale in hand, Travis.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:50:01 PM
Good to have you here!
Travis in Ganjarado 5:52:00 PM
Well, I figure if we are both here, there's nothing wrong with having a little Whale on our time.
jimbooooo 5:52:05 PM
Summon: AHAB 🐋
Travis in Ganjarado 5:52:32 PM
Has Ahab been subbing lately? I haven't heard in a bit.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:52:42 PM
She filled in a couple weeks ago.
Travis in Ganjarado 5:52:51 PM
Has the doctor been in?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:53:23 PM
I'll try and find out if a return is planned.
Travis in Ganjarado 5:53:46 PM
I miss cranking the Desert Cruising in the office at 8am MST on Monday mornings.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:56:08 PM
The Monday morning slot worked surprisingly well.
Emily Ricardo 6:00:10 PM
Just found the station by messing with my new radio I got an estate sale this week. Ghost:whale was FIRE
jimbooooo 6:01:13 PM
Welcome to the Greatest Radio Station on Earth!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:01:15 PM
Emily, this is the single-greatest listener origin story of all time.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:01:20 PM
WELCOME.
Doctor Ahab 6:01:25 PM
Is this thing on??
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:01:34 PM
Business is picking UP.
Travis in Ganjarado 6:02:44 PM
The Doctor IS IN!
Doctor Ahab 6:02:51 PM
I'm on the air TWICE next week for the membership drive, for Dan on Tuesday morning and Jen Friday afternoon
.Fräncis 6:03:02 PM
Who me?
Travis in Ganjarado 6:04:29 PM
Noted! I will try my best to tuna in for some Desert Cruisin
jimbooooo 6:04:36 PM
Jonah knew all about Whale Colon
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:07:10 PM
Well played.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:11:12 PM
I had hoped you might be in Jen's slot, Cap!
Doctor Ahab 6:11:51 PM
Indeed! I ought to start posting on ye olde social media
Doctor Ahab 6:12:39 PM
I have to hit the road now, alas, but glad I got to catch this little bit of Relay and pop by the chat
Doctor Ahab 6:12:53 PM
Loved the estate sale radio story, welcome Emily!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:13:30 PM

Francis Poulenc 6:14:13 PM
Love them
Travis in Ganjarado 6:15:06 PM
Digable
jimbooooo 6:15:14 PM
We have achieved dual Francis chat stage
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:15:56 PM

Kelly Nielsen 6:25:49 PM
Really enjoying the show today, Jon
.Fräncis 6:26:29 PM
Although typicallyFrances would be the feminine version of my name, so we'll have to ask the other Francis -
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:26:40 PM
Hey thank you, Kelly!
DJ Tenderloin 6:53:02 PM
we debated going to night of 1000 kates but ended up - of course - falling asleep on the couch
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:01:05 PM
It was fun but it was a long day / night. We had to be there at 2:30 for soundcheck, didn't get home until 12:30 am. Met a bunch of nice listeners though!
DJ Tenderloin 7:04:46 PM
Dinner calls - great show tonight (so far) Jon! Cheers-
Patrick Rapa 7:04:56 PM
rank them
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:05:57 PM
See you, DJ Tenderloin!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:18:04 PM
Who am I ranking?
Brian Kijewski 7:27:51 PM
Hey Jon, hey chatters! Fantastic show so far as always. Dug that Relay track, hadn't heard of them before. Pumped for my first visit to NYC coming up Saturday.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:29:12 PM
Oh nice. I may be in NYC on Sunday.
Patrick Rapa 7:29:37 PM
welcome Brian!
Brian Kijewski 7:34:41 PM
No way! What may you be in the city for might I ask? Sunday also happens to be my birthday. Planning to grab Mughlai Indian Cuisine and catch some comedy at Gotham.
Brian Kijewski 7:34:47 PM
Hello Patrick!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:36:23 PM
Fun. You may ask! Meeting a friend + her family for brunch if all goes as planned.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:36:42 PM
Have a happy birthday and if you need me to jump out of a cake I am available.
Brian Kijewski 7:47:47 PM
Thank you. Ha ha, now that would be a birthday for the books.
Rob from Maryland 7:49:38 PM
Great show Jon, love Minibeast defending the sound
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:51:16 PM
Thanks, Rob! Hope all is well with all y'all.
Apocalyptic Roffle... 7:52:36 PM
I just put up new curtains, DJ Tenderloin is painting, people are out there driving on the streets. A very productive show Mr. Solomon! Thanks!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:53:37 PM
I did my Duolingo during this track, progress all around!
Brian Kijewski 7:54:49 PM
and spaghetti is boiling during this track as well
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:57:49 PM
Nice.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:59:19 PM
This was some needed fun.
