First message
Jen Redlights (host) 3:20:35 PM
I second that
fr1dayafternoon 3:21:52 PM
I really liked that opening song. And I see Split System mentioned online a lot. Ill have to check it out, if thatsbrhe company they keep.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:22:29 PM
I feel like fr1dayafternoon should always be the first message on this Friday afternoon show. And you mean the Barrows song? That record is rad. Split System is great!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:22:43 PM
Or if not great, really, really fun.
fr1dayafternoon 3:24:03 PM
Wait, yeah. I meant the Les Lullies song on the Split System split
Jen Redlights (host) 3:24:31 PM
Ah! Well I love that one too!
fr1dayafternoon 3:24:46 PM
And I accept the first message nomination! I'm hearing most Fridays, even if not always active in the chat
Jen Redlights (host) 3:25:01 PM
that's awesome! thanks for being here!
fr1dayafternoon 3:25:05 PM
Here*
Ossy 3:25:38 PM
Encore red running stop lights, as I'm making all kinds of cuisine weird eccentric experimental stuff dressed like this https://www.deviantart.com/deaththeshadow/art/Toad-Danger-Zone-1095433680
Jen Redlights (host) 3:26:22 PM
hahah is that your outfit or your food project?
Ossy 3:26:52 PM
Both LOOOOOL.
Ossy 3:27:23 PM
Be all hazmat gloved rubbery like Super Mario's Toadette.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:28:24 PM
and very very sticky
Ossy 3:29:34 PM
To make melted gummy green slime blue cheesestakes
Jen Redlights (host) 3:29:54 PM
video game food!
Ossy 3:32:41 PM
:D
Ossy 3:33:07 PM
Would you also eat most of this in one sitting? https://www.deviantart.com/deaththeshadow/art/Stinky-Lunchtime-Remastered-935004258
Jen Redlights (host) 3:36:09 PM
definitely no on the chicken fingers
Jen Redlights (host) 3:36:23 PM
mustard covered mountain, perhaps!
Richard Lyons 3:39:04 PM
happy fri yay!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:39:24 PM
indeed! what's up, @richard!
Brian D 3:40:58 PM
This. Here.
Richard Lyons 3:41:00 PM
yard work and catching up on gardening :). loved hearing The Soft Boys!
Brian D 3:41:25 PM
Same. Robyn always welcome. That a/lpaca was great too.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:42:00 PM
Glad to know the Robyn fans! I'm with you on the a/lpaca, definitely need to revisit that whole album
fr1dayafternoon 3:44:06 PM
OBN IIIs ruled and I was into most Ex-Cult. But Memo PST is missing something for me.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:44:53 PM
right on! I liked that record a bunch. Haven't gotten to see them, but I'm betting they're good live.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:46:21 PM
i'll have to check out OBN IIIs! don't know them.
fr1dayafternoon 3:49:25 PM
Orville Bernard Neeley. He's one of the main guys in Memo PST. Definitely awesome - Third Time to Harm is my favorite.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:50:05 PM
neat, bookmarking it!
Ossy 3:56:07 PM
Jen for earlier - I would eat as much as I can for the fries, chicken nuggets and cheeseburgers without the lava flowing smelly mustard, especially at the nose expenses of Daisy's friends haha
Ossy 3:57:04 PM
That's A LOAD of fast food, better carry icy breath mints after all that!!
Colin 4:00:06 PM
sourgum felt popular to me. I was like oh I know this song!, then noticed it was new.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:03:19 PM
It's been out a few months, but sounds like what I wish all pop sounded like.
Adam Elk 4:04:02 PM
YAY.... MOMMYHEADS!!!!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:04:51 PM
oh haha you either have a weird script running, you're a bot, or you and I have a mindmeld. yay mommyheads!
Adam Elk 4:05:56 PM
That song was recorded in 1985 .... find a BOT that knows that
Jen Redlights (host) 4:08:37 PM
ahhhhhh! I didn't know that!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:08:53 PM
Noted! Are the other songs on that album also older?
Jen Redlights (host) 4:09:22 PM
also: delighted you were listening for that! 🤘🏻
Brian D 4:10:17 PM
Good stuff. Trudy & Pat.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:10:38 PM
important musical interludes
fr1dayafternoon 4:13:05 PM
Running Redlights is in rare form today
Jen Redlights (host) 4:13:20 PM
I'll take that as a compliment ;)
Adam Elk 4:16:03 PM
Yup ... all those are from 1985. Recorded to a TDK 120 cassette. Thx for Playing it
Jen Redlights (host) 4:16:22 PM
great to know, thanks! You're very welcome.
Mike Lupica 4:22:58 PM
Finally saw Shilpa Ray perform live a few weeks ago. Perhaps not surprisingly, she was great!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:23:22 PM
oooooh i bet it was fantastic! cool!
Mike Lupica 4:25:03 PM
Ohh, the VSS. Every time I hear them I think to myself: "This is the best music for having your brains splattered against the wall of a deli on the Lower East Side at 4 AM."
Mike Lupica 4:25:09 PM
But maybe that's just me?
Jen Redlights (host) 4:25:47 PM
hahahahah i dont' disagree
Jen Redlights (host) 4:25:55 PM
or jumping off a roof
fr1dayafternoon 4:25:56 PM
Sort of reminds me of Borzoi
Mike Lupica 4:27:36 PM
Yes, from Boulder! I think they moved to SF later on.
Jon Solomon 4:28:48 PM
I'm trying to think about what would be on my "all bands I can't say the name of well" show. Three hours of Einstürzende Neubauten?
Mike Lupica 4:29:12 PM
khruangbin
Jon Solomon 4:29:18 PM
Perfect.
Jon Solomon 4:29:29 PM
This next artist is one!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:29:42 PM
I dont' know what I expect Boulder to sound like, but it isn't like SF.
Jon Solomon 4:29:43 PM
Holger Czukay too.
Mike Lupica 4:29:46 PM
I can SAY Einstürzende Neubauten like a champ, but I almost always spell it incorrectly.
Jon Solomon 4:30:33 PM
WPRB band name spelling bee. Your first word is Alvvays.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:30:39 PM
any Welsh band
Jen Redlights (host) 4:30:59 PM
also Šarlo Akrobata
Mike Lupica 4:31:32 PM
Yes on the Welsh band names! Llygod Fyrnig will always be MAH JAM, tho.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:31:43 PM
HAHAHA
Jen Redlights (host) 4:32:39 PM
i need pronunciation cards for those. it's the tongue twisters that creep up on ya.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:32:48 PM
also, this song rules
Mike Lupica 4:33:21 PM
I imagine there exists (but I will not look for) a Reddit thread about hard-to-pronounce band names. Also this Kilynn Lunsford record is great.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:33:45 PM
worst idea for a specialty show
Jon Solomon 4:33:57 PM
I think I saw her open for Etran De L'air?
Jen Redlights (host) 4:34:17 PM
that's a pairing!
Alan Parsec 4:36:44 PM
Hello Rock & Rollers 🎸🎶⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️
Jen Redlights (host) 4:36:56 PM
@alan, you're back! hello
Jon Solomon 4:37:17 PM
Etran De L'air's manager is a former Kill Rock Stars employee / big Taiwan Housing Project fan so...
Jen Redlights (host) 4:38:01 PM
That he draws together unexpected bands is wonderful
Jon Solomon 4:39:39 PM
I think their prior time through Emily Robb opened. Dude knows his stuff.
fr1dayafternoon 4:40:07 PM
Been meaning to check out that Kilynn Lunsford album. But the last time I saw Taiwan Housing Project I had a death in my family. And that's just how weird memories and associations work
fr1dayafternoon 4:41:22 PM
Looking back it also seems appropriate
Jen Redlights (host) 4:44:30 PM
maybe it's time to craft new memories around it!
fr1dayafternoon 4:47:34 PM
Haha someday
Alan Parsec 4:56:26 PM
Jen: Last night's show was a Blast, but I had to tune in today to reset my Biological clock with......More of Jen's show! Have a Great weekend & bcnu!
Richard Lyons 4:56:40 PM
excellent show, Jen! thanks!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:57:37 PM
hey, thanks for listening, all of you! And special nods to the double show fun!
