Opening up the chat now. Radio at the top of the hour.

Hi Jon! Back from a walk on the Delaware trail and ready for engaging radio. As usual. Hope things are well in Princeton town this day.

There's a FROST ADVISORY for tonight! Good to get a walk in while you can.

Hi Jon, Hi Ruffled Feathers. And a prevenient hi to everyone else

Hello!

Can feel that in the air for sure. Windy all day long.

Hi Dan!

I went running yesterday when it was windy but after I was done it got Windy. Then the "tree down, road closed" alerts started flooding in.

Yikes! Hard hat weather.

Off we go!

hey man. let it rip.

That's the plan!

yay

It was really fun seeing them play a full set after all these years. They remain showmen.

are you going to see silkworm in chicago or elsewhere, i imagine?

I expect to be in Chicago, Tolono and Memphis if all goes as planned.

Hello Jon and chat! Boy do I wish I lived closer to Toronto. Missed Brainiac the other night and FACS this past weekend. I do have tickets for Gang of Four next week though. And Advance Base at end of month. And both Silkworm shows in September to look forward to.

Gang of Four, love it

Brainiac and FACS were the same night in Philly. If I had planned it better I could have done both. But I'm glad I didn't as I hadn't expected to sit around with Brainiac for a couple hours and it was really nice (though it meant I only saw about 30 seconds of Mogwai). By the time I got up to head out the venue was empty so I grabbed some guitars and aided with load out.

Oh wow, so many good bands coming through lately. On the same night even. Tsunami and Ida were fantastic at Bowery. Missed the beginning of Tsunami and coin toss though unfortunately.

It happens!

the mighty Ghold

yessssssssss

This song is a RIDE.

English Teacher! nice segue Jon

hey now. nice toe tappage here.

Nice! Just bought a used vinyl copy of Indivisible today.

Welcome on in, Dale.

HE WHO CANNOT BE NAMED

heyoooo

hell yes to the dwarves!

Hello

GHOLD is gold

SUP

YEAHHHH LIBRARY CARDS AND KANOPY!!! BAM!

Andy Kaufman lives

Similarly I watched George Carlin's American Dream on Max and it was very good

Bam.

watched old carlin tapes when i was a kid, have distinct mems of me my bro and sis watching them in sisters room

loving the bad words

Really got the petal down on these sets.

I've been binge watching the CBS News. Something like 75 seasons.

yeaaa jon killen it!

owh whats the news like

What season are you on Dan?

Libraries rule. I sat on the porch yesterday reading a graphic novel procured at my local library and it was grand.

Hello Rob, Michael, all.

1963. Things seem to really be calming down.

No spoilers.

Oh. Oh no. Oh no no no

Shouldn't have gotten so attached to the character J.D. Tippit.

Lol Dan W

the mighty Water Damage

I love how this track starts with basically an overture.

very cinematic drone

I think I said when I played something else off this previously that the new WD 2xLP reminds me of Butthole Surfers stuck in a k-hole.

I stand by this!

They started playing Creep in the Cellar and couldn't get out of one part of the track.

Haaaaaaa! well said

(Gibby lights his own hand on fire)

Water Damage rules!

Firm agree, Rob.

So good.

Hey DubNP!

I love what almost sounds like a cat meowing in this Water Damage track

Hey Jon!

whadya make it stop for?

They ran out of tape!

Pissed Jeans!

Covering Lou Reed for some reason!

BASIC BICHOS

Did you send me this one? No idea how it ended up in my "to preview" folder.

Twas not I this time, but I like it

Me too. Thank you....someone!

strange & mysterious universe it be

A RIFF ARRIVES.

very cinematic set Jon! soundin great, champ

It is nice how the chat turns into a pep talk from time to time. "Just one more hour, Jon! Almost there! Keep your head up!"

the Devo-ian pep, that's pep!

EYE ON THE BALL SOLOMON EYE ON THE BALL

Lol great lyrics both

I'm gonna look at that moon-thing in the sky tonite if it's clear

I've heard good things about the moon!

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwarsofficial/images/d/d9/Ghoel.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110828184155

There's a Star Wars podcast I follow about deep cut characters which posted a picture of Ghoel and asked "anyone know who THIS is?" If I wasn't first to answer emphatically I should have been!

excellent

This performance is hitting me right tonight.

Digging this for sure. Super tight.

Someday a Neutral Milk Hotel fan is going to "discover" his song 1981 and it will finally be the hit it was always meant to be.

I love how you can hear the rest of the band packing up behind him on this one.

Good night Jon. Great show

Hey thanks, SP. Safe travels!

Great show! I love this new NP tune

Thanks, Brian! I'm out!
