Radio nears.

Radio arrives!

Hello hello! Joined the listening party for the new Billy Nomates over on Bandcamp a few hours ago. Wow what a record.

Oh fun! Listened to that earlier too.

Howdy everyone

Congrats on your best time, Jon!

Thanks, Rob! No thanks, person in my path who I was not happy with at the time!

Yay! Congrats! And I also caught this song on Running Red Lights. So good.

Sending frown vibes their way

Was totally struck by this band from the first moment. have listened to a few more gems since.

We found the Avon Dads song to be quite amusing

Nice, I gotta hear more for sure

Sort of Todd Briefly-ish, to drop another Jen favorite in the chat.

Hi there. First time caller.

Hey Dan! How are you? I'll take my answer off-air...

Greetings from a soggy Montco Pa

It ain't dry, Carlos!

“I lost my wallet in el segundo” the line from this song is the name of the first single from A Tribe Called Quest

Indeed. This song is overflowing with references to other things.

Great songwriter.

Last night I got started on Western Swing and could not stop

Deerhoof! :)

These Deerhoof medleys are bonkers!

Totally!!! Weird as usual. That's what I love about them. :D

Jen played one on Friday that started with the Knight Rider theme...

I missed out on that one!

They played a portion of that medley with Electric Avenue live when my son and I saw them last year and my head 'sploded. This whole album is phenomenal.

I'm not familiar with Deerhoof. This piece is quite attention-getting in this house. Plus the title

Deerhoof is a real weird gem. :D

They've got fun tunes too. :)

Jimboooooo, while I am sorry ti hear about your exploded head I am glad it ultimately all worked out.

The Jetsons!!! :D

I liked the Baden Powell Bossa Nova

Oops, just 'sploded again.

Rob, you are in for a world of magic and wonder if you choose to accept Deerhoof

Oops, all 'splosions.

Are there covers of the Scooby Doo theme or Hong Kong Phooey? I seem to remember something along those lines.

Unclear but at this point nothing would surprise me.

Cool track!

@jimbooooo, I will definitely keep that in mind if I choose to accept Deerhoof

I'm sure they'll be delighted you dig it, FME.

Anything quirky and synthy. :)

An old friend's teen made what's playing presently.

Deerhoof has magical tunes like the goofy and cutesy "Gore in Rut." The lead singer just sings "Bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny." :D

https://youtu.be/89g9yMGFGlM?si=0Kmn8TwlRCL-qGUF

This would be great worship music! LOL! :D

I had no idea The Lemonheads did that cover.

herro dere.

Wurster kid looking up in the tree

Heya Dale!

If you're not already watching The Rehearsal season two, please start so my question about The Lemonheads eventually makes sense to you / yours.

I'm so out of the loop when it comes to shows. :D

we have prime and netflix and rarely watch it except for whatever movie is big that saturday night.

would love a translation on this music. a follow the bouncing ball type of affair.

Ohi

Oh!

Ohio

Just in time for some new Moor Mother, I see!

Couldn't have planned it better if ya tried.

Good evening Jon Solomon! Good evening chatters! Was in the car for a bit - sounded great

MOOR noise, please! :)

Good evening, DJ Tenderloin! :)

DJ Tenderloin, didn't see you sneak in here.

I'm sneaky like that!

this is some toe tapping doom here.

Interzone

toe tappin doom!!

gettin' some 9353 vibes...

Sly Coopered in the chat

Matt! Hello!

Sumac!

we are grinding in the mandible of time

Speak for yourself!

This 6+ minute song was apparently chopped down from a 15+ minute take and I'd like to hear the full version someday, please.

Fleetwood Sumac

Squid!

the ol' Warp Records

has a popul vuh vibe to it.

Mike Tamburo - Vocals, Aluphone, Cup Bells, Bass Drum, Talking Drum, Frame Drum, Chimes, Bass Guitar, Belly Slapping, Hand Clapping,Val Bertoia Sound Sculptures, 48" Chau Gong, Wood Blocks

Nice transition there. Was transfixed by the Tamburo

Thanks, Kelly. Good to see you here.

Tuned into the airwaves. Caught the perfect frequency through the rain.

Welcome, Pengy!

Thanks for the show tonight, Jon!

Not quite done yet, but thanks Rob!

Nice change of pace. :)

Gotta keep everyone on their toes (this includes me).

That's what it's all about! Our version of the hokey pokey! :D

fun show, as always! thanks Jon 📻🎶

Richard! Hey! Thanks! Now if only my socks would finally dry...

Thanks for the show, Jon! Fun hokey pokey! :)

One more song before I split.

Thanks for the show Jon!

YOU are welcome (as is everyone else).

Funny band name. :D
