First message

I second that

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.

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!

Or if not great, really, really fun.

Wait, yeah. I meant the Les Lullies song on the Split System split

Ah! Well I love that one too!

And I accept the first message nomination! I'm hearing most Fridays, even if not always active in the chat

that's awesome! thanks for being here!

Here*

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

hahah is that your outfit or your food project?

Both LOOOOOL.

Be all hazmat gloved rubbery like Super Mario's Toadette.

and very very sticky

To make melted gummy green slime blue cheesestakes

video game food!

Would you also eat most of this in one sitting? https://www.deviantart.com/deaththeshadow/art/Stinky-Lunchtime-Remastered-935004258

definitely no on the chicken fingers

mustard covered mountain, perhaps!

happy fri yay!

indeed! what's up, @richard!

This. Here.

yard work and catching up on gardening :). loved hearing The Soft Boys!

Same. Robyn always welcome. That a/lpaca was great too.

Glad to know the Robyn fans! I'm with you on the a/lpaca, definitely need to revisit that whole album

OBN IIIs ruled and I was into most Ex-Cult. But Memo PST is missing something for me.

right on! I liked that record a bunch. Haven't gotten to see them, but I'm betting they're good live.

i'll have to check out OBN IIIs! don't know them.

Orville Bernard Neeley. He's one of the main guys in Memo PST. Definitely awesome - Third Time to Harm is my favorite.

neat, bookmarking it!

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

That's A LOAD of fast food, better carry icy breath mints after all that!!

sourgum felt popular to me. I was like oh I know this song!, then noticed it was new.

It's been out a few months, but sounds like what I wish all pop sounded like.

YAY.... MOMMYHEADS!!!!

oh haha you either have a weird script running, you're a bot, or you and I have a mindmeld. yay mommyheads!

That song was recorded in 1985 .... find a BOT that knows that

ahhhhhh! I didn't know that!

Noted! Are the other songs on that album also older?

also: delighted you were listening for that! 🤘🏻

Good stuff. Trudy & Pat.

important musical interludes

Running Redlights is in rare form today

I'll take that as a compliment ;)

Yup ... all those are from 1985. Recorded to a TDK 120 cassette. Thx for Playing it

great to know, thanks! You're very welcome.

Finally saw Shilpa Ray perform live a few weeks ago. Perhaps not surprisingly, she was great!

oooooh i bet it was fantastic! cool!

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."

But maybe that's just me?

hahahahah i dont' disagree

or jumping off a roof

Sort of reminds me of Borzoi

Yes, from Boulder! I think they moved to SF later on.

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?

khruangbin

Perfect.

This next artist is one!

I dont' know what I expect Boulder to sound like, but it isn't like SF.

Holger Czukay too.

I can SAY Einstürzende Neubauten like a champ, but I almost always spell it incorrectly.

WPRB band name spelling bee. Your first word is Alvvays.

any Welsh band

also Šarlo Akrobata

Yes on the Welsh band names! Llygod Fyrnig will always be MAH JAM, tho.

HAHAHA

i need pronunciation cards for those. it's the tongue twisters that creep up on ya.

also, this song rules

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.

worst idea for a specialty show

I think I saw her open for Etran De L'air?

that's a pairing!

Hello Rock & Rollers 🎸🎶⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️

@alan, you're back! hello

Etran De L'air's manager is a former Kill Rock Stars employee / big Taiwan Housing Project fan so...

That he draws together unexpected bands is wonderful

I think their prior time through Emily Robb opened. Dude knows his stuff.

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

Looking back it also seems appropriate

maybe it's time to craft new memories around it!

Haha someday

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!

excellent show, Jen! thanks!

hey, thanks for listening, all of you! And special nods to the double show fun!

Hello

And goodbye

Hey Jen! Thx for the tunes! See ya next time!

Hey Rob!!

hello and by, @readie and @rob!! @readie, have a great show!

Ooh Jen, you played Mydolls!!

Hi Alan!

🤘🏻

Thanks Jen! 💜
