Dana!!!! Don't Back the Crumbum!

Alan! Alan! Alan!

(Smegheads Welcome of course)

Hey Dana!

"Just thinking punk." I can work with that.

Yo Roffle! Yo Marcus!

Howdy everyone

Rob!!

Chris Noth was "Big" Mr. Big was the evil genius in almost every blaxploitation film

Blaxploitation is under-rated. Just ask Tarantino.

Mr. Big was a mechanical rat on Rocky and Bullwinkle.

So many Misters Big

Joyce Mckinney experience is the best!

I agree!

999!

HOMICIIIIIIIDE

It's a Finnish Buzzocks rip off!

You're right, it is! I deleted BUZZCOCKS!!! too soon

Speaking of the Buzzcocks, where would you play Steve Diggle and Flag of Convenience?

..sounds like it's in Pig Latin???

Hypoglycemia is a strange challenge.

Giving a nod to the Mod this band is

hi dana bash the front!

The music is hyper though

Hey Ossy!

hello everyone!

dana - and your namesake herself going athletic cute in some softball game! 🎗️🩷https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/from-left-jill-jackson-of-cbs-dana-bash-of-cnn-jackie-news-photo/117223339

Hi Richard!

DANA K!

😍 the level in which the album art and title for the don't tango on my heart sync up

Once again, this show rules.

Thank you so much, Chris!

@dana your show is a highlight of my radio listening week!

Revillos :-)

🥹🥹🥹

What other radio show could I get both Welsh music and multiple Beach Boys tracks? Killing it so far!

Thank you!!

this is fantastic! also, the yard is filled with lightning bugs tonight

I don't think I've seen a lightning bug in years. But I have no yard to speak of.

*puts this fun fact about simple minds in my pocket for that trivia night, that only exists in another detention

This band became "Simple Minds"

Yes! I said as much!

dimension, not detention, but could very well be detention

Sorry. Just got back

marcus has that fun fact in his pocket too! one of us, one of us

I figured Dana was going to say something at the break but I couldn't hold it back

I would do okay at Simple Minds trivia. I think.

i would not be okay (first time spelling ok like that, because i'm a simple mind) at simple minds trivia

Colin: I have never use the word "herein" until now so herein find that word. Now I'm all okay..

I write a lot for work, i'm so gonna be proof reading a lot of what is already published. i'm sure it's not okay.

They are from Switzerland. Had to look it up. That Schweitz-Deutsch really threw mw

also, that action pact band! 🤩

What?! Okayyyyy!!!

A-OK

MDC - Dead Cops / America's so Straight

for the 4th

🍖

Meow

what a great band

Amazing band. So sad Malcolm Owen died so young.

1980, they're on the Times Square soundtrack

great accomplishment! red dwarf is gonna be some big television shoes to fill when it is over. lister be with you

I've got four more seasons of MASH and then I'll really be bereft.

I love the Prisoner. I really like the episodes of Red Dwarf I've watched. I should take the deep dive.

The first six seasons of Red Dwarf are great. After that...eh.

when mash aired its season finale, i remember crying for some reason. i was only a kid, so i don't even remember what the episode was about.

I know I'm going to cry!!

gettin all vehicular

jimbooooooo

Ooo000ōöôœ

Dana, is "The Prisoner" you are thinking about watching the 1960s tv series?

Yep!

Fredandtoodyyyyyy4evahhhhhh

Also, after you played The Feederz song I started telling my wife about them. She was highly entertained, never having heard of them before

That's great! I love this from their Wikipedia: "In 1982, Discussion wrote "Bored with School",[1] a diatribe against school and work posing as an announcement from the Arizona Department of Education, and distributed 5,000 copies to local high schools. He fled Arizona to escape arrest for this incident and settled in San Francisco."

I'm jumping about

Husker Du what a good band

Pat McGoohan has like the Best Tailor..

They were good!

something to husker! for me, i get a replacements song stuck in my head when i hear the du

omg this song rn!!!

TRB for Pride Month

Colin, their both from Minneapolis

marcus: there was probably some good minneapolis shows back then

cf. The Replacements - "Kids don't follow"

I drove 7 hrs to MPLS to see FELA but was too young so my consolation prize was WEEN

WEEEEEN

thats may have been THE prize of that spirit journey

this rockified edition of dbtf i have nicknamed the hangry episode.

It was nice of Redd Kross to honor a great song from a much-maligned Rolling Stones album. I've heard NJ's Frankenstein 3000 perform it live too.

Colin, journey was in a powder blue 1960 Ford falcon station wagon

I am beyond hangry at this point. I have ascended.

Ray Milland died in 1986, but I doubt he heard of that group.

jim: wagonerween for the win!

i looked up that wagon 😍

another fantastic selection for rn

This sounds nothing like Tomorrow's "Revolution".

It doesn't sound much like Tubthumping either.

OMG! THE ORIGINAL

Goodnight everyone!

great show!

thank you!!

Thanks Dana! Have a safe drive &bcnu!

Next up MWS: :::::::::::::🛰

I never saw Wipers. I wonder if they ever played NJ.

Nice evening Dana bash front, sweet socked dreams and safe drive home!
