DoublePlusGood Thu Jul 17 with Lizbot on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Heloooo Hello!

Greetings!

Hi Number 6!

@Number 6 - I hope you're feeling better

Getting there, thanks!

@Number 6 - Glad to hear it!

I hear the Barge entrance is a bit treacherous these days.

@Number 6 - Yeah, it's a bit of a wobbly plank in a cloud of Pigpen dust

Hey folks!

Ha, you have to walk the plank to get in, arrrr!

Hope y’all are staying cool, it’s even brutal up here in VT!

Howdy everyone!

Hi addie 🐍🐍🐍 plum!

@Number 6 - Well that's true, so I guess fitting!

Hi Rob from Maryland 🦀!

I guess that you will be at the concert next Thurs?

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - Yesterday I saw something unprecedented: The catbird branched out to the other side of my house and was perched next to my car on the outer railing. What does this mean?!

@Number 6 - That is the plan!

Me too!

@Number 6 - Excellent!

I take it Mr. Lizbot will be playing also?

@Number 6 - Rumor has it

Cool!

@Number 6 - album release show

Hey, everybody!

That is a crazy mélange of sounds from Grand Veymont

Ooh, creative and slinky

Hi Danosaur🦖!

@Danosaur🦖 - Indeed! Love me some slinky musics!

This is a good bat song

hi

Hi Ossy!

@Danosaur🦖 - Music to Kill Mosquitos By: A Bat Compendium

Haha!

WHy Is there France?

liked the moonshine

Asking the big questions

@Ossy - I'm glad you liked it!

@Danosaur🦖 - Sometimes it takes a mustachio'd oddball like Ron Mael to ask The Big Questions

@Lizbot - he's both musing and amusing

This sounds like spy movie music

@Danosaur🦖 - He can dance, he can sing, he can Get IN the Swing with everyone and everything

@Danosaur🦖 - Accidentally wrote "Get ON the Swing" at first, but now I'm enjoying the image in my head of Ron Mael swinging on a big playground swing while twitching his mustache

@Lizbot - That does sound like something he would definitely do

@Danosaur🦖 - He is known to occasional brief but intense bursts of joviality

Big city vibes in this song

i liked broadcast book lovers

@Danosaur🦖 - Hence his sudden bouts of dancing the jitterbug completely straight-faced on stage during performances of "Who Don't Like Kids"!

@Danosaur🦖 - Big city vibes for Luries lurking shadows like slinky lounge lizards

@Lizbot - sometimes the jitterbug just takes over your limbs and you must submit to it's whims

@Ossy - I love that Work & Non-Work album by Broadcast! It came during my college years and I listened to it a lot while driving around in my grandmom's old hand-me-down early 80s Volkswagon Golf

@Danosaur🦖 - Submit to The Bug, lest it afflict you with Restless Legs Syndrome at a later date

@Lizbot - Terpsichore must have her due

Yay! Good stuff—anything Lab! 😁

@Danosaur🦖 - You're no lyre.

Hi Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly)!

@Lizbot - Haha!

Hi, FME!

Great stuff today! I'm just in the background getting some work done on my laptop.

Hey, y'all!

@Lizbot, it means that the catbird is plotting to take over your neighborhood?

And hi everyone

The last track title means "How to Choose His/Her Nurse." 😁

Hey, Rob!

@Lizbot - I think he does the Charleston

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - Thanks! I hope you get everything done that you need to to these tunes!

@Danosaur🦖 - Oh you're totally right. I couldn't quite think of the name of it and knew the Jitterbug wasn't quite right!

I should be done maybe in a couple of hours. 😎

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - Oh boy! I hope not! He'd have to throw down with the foxes that have already staked their claim on our entire block by leaving reminders of their dominance in the form of surprise poop leavings everywhere

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - Good to know! Ah, like infirmary! At least I knew "comment" haha

@Liz Yep. 😊 Like "enfermera" in Spanish.

@Lizbot - isn't every poop you find outside a bit of a surprise?

..yup, I smelt 'em .. evryone is different.

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - Yeah, I see all these similarities between French and Spanish visibly, but my tendency of course is towards the Spanish pronunciation. I gotta mumble and employ uvular fricative R's more often and stop enunciating so much!

Frickin' fricatives

Hi Bukowski's cigarette 🚬!

@Bukowski's cigarette 🚬 - So has my dog. And she is vexed by it

@Danosaur🦖 - Frickin' fricatives < frolicking foxes

@Danosaur🦖 - ha, true. Those these days not so much, between the raccoon that constantly ransacks our trashcans and leaves us a little poop gift in gratitude, always right next to my car, to the many groundhogs, foxes, and our dog, the yard has become a veritable nature pocket guide to poop

@Lizbot - Well, no one can tell you that you don't know sh*t

i like this playing

Ooh, I like this

@Liz Yeah, the uvulae "R" is a tricky thing! My pronunciation of it is pretty much hit or miss. 😁 I'm more used to the alveolar (rolled) "R" like in Spanish and Indonesian, my native language.

Reminds me of the song at the beginning of Ghost World

Alveolar trill is the more precise term.

@Danosaur🦖 / @Ossy - Glad you both are digging it! I love these old soundtrack playback singers

@Danosaur🦖 - Ha! Yeah, I sadly have that knowledge of the difference between a raccoon and a fox poop, but I didn't ask for this expertise! It is a curse!

@Lizbot, Catbird and Fox, like Frog and Toad

Hi Danosaur!

You can always tell a catbird because they will be seated

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - I LOVE rolling Rs in Spanish! That's always fun

@Danosaur🦖 - Ha! yeah, that catbird things he owns me!

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - I can picture an alternate universe, or the plot of a very twee independent British movie shot in the Lake District, wherein the nuisance catbird becomes inspiration for soon-to-be-beloved children's book character, a la Beatrice Potter's creatures

@Liz That's our version or rock 'n' ROLL! 🎸😁

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - Ha!

nice

Romance-language tracks galore! 😎

First time I heard Nahid Akhtar was on wprb

.

Hi Tyler B.!

She's fantastic I have kept a lot of her catalog since then

@Tyler B. - I love her voice

@Tyler B. - So many amazing soundtracks from the 70s & 80s from Lollywood, and Tafo Brothers are great too

Just spotted a WPRB shirt in Ithaca, NY :)

Hi Kelly Nielsen!

Hi!

That was a nice, spacey tune

@Kelly Nielsen - Nice spotting! I wonder if the person is from this area originally

They looked like they were trying to navigate the neighborhood, so maybe so

@Kelly Nielsen - Maybe someone who works at Cornell now? I love Ithaca but I haven't been there in ages. Grew up camping at Watkins Glen in the Finger Lakes. Went to Corning Glass works

@Danosaur🦖 - The Lia Ices track? (My device keeps tryna change the name to Lia Lice...not as pleasant!) Yeah, I like that album a lot!

@Lizbot - Yeah, that's the one

@Kelly Nielsen - I am picturing someone who maybe went to Princeton or lived here or both, then went to Cornell as a grad student/to work in some capacity. COuld be totally off, but this is the biography I have invented for this person

@Kelly Nielsen - Always nice seeing WPRB shirts in the wild. And I like hearing about ones in far climes!

@Lizbot - that's the story I'm going with!

Quite a tale in this Laurice song

@Lizbot 6:32, heck yeah!

@Kelly Nielsen - Filling in backstory and side characters now...

@Danosaur🦖 - Quite a drama!

Cocteau Twins! 💯

Fruity track! 🍊🍎

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - Heck yeah to my eventual illustrious children's illustrator career, all thanks to the perseverance of my feathered tormentor!? Well, I'll be sure to thank him first in the inside-sleeve of my first book

@Lizbot - as one does ;)

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - Awash in orange-tinged reverb!

Just looked up what Laurice means. One meaning is just like Laura. Another is a baby bunny eaten as delicacy. Eeeekkkk!

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - I refuse to eat my fruit without first giving them a thorough scrubbing in Cocteau Twins brand orange-rinse

@FME - what monster is eating baby bunnies?!

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - Whoa! The bunny delicacy meaning is crazy! I had no idea. Oddly fitting, though, for Laurice the artist

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - Laurice - delicate and sensitive yet brutal!

I know people eat rabbits too but that's just splitting hares

@Danosaur🦖 - haaarrrr, har, hare. I am having flashbacks to some of the more upsetting scenes in Harmony Korine's "Gummo"

@Danosaur🦖 - Not to mention the bunnies in Michael Moore's "Roger & Me"! R.I.P. wild bunnies of Flint, MI

@Lizbot - Oh, I don't remember that part of Roger and Me

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) / @Danosaur🦖 - In Australia they have such a massive invasive rabbit population, I'm sure the Aussie government would gladly promote "laurice" as a dish

@Liz Makes me wonder ... if I have a bunny, should I name it Laurice? 😁

@Dan ROFL! 🤣

@Danosaur🦖 - It's been a long while since I've seen it, but i recall a guy killing wild hares around the neighborhood due to food insecurity

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - Brutal...but, yes!

@Lizbot - Oh, yeah. That does sound familiar

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - Reminds me of my friend from my early 20s who wanted to get a pet hedgehog and name it "Piss-Off"

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - And let's not forget Vyvyan's hamster, Special Patrol Unit, in "The Young Ones". SPU for short.

@Lizbot - If you get a hedgehog aren't you required to name it Sonic?

@Danosaur🦖 - Been a while, but that scene stood out to me. For a second I thought maybe I was just combining the rabbit scene from Gummo in my head, but pretty sure both had similar rabbit killing scenario

@Lizbot - is Vyvyan's hamster like Schroedinger's Cat

@Danosaur🦖 - Never! Like naming a dog Rover or Spot! I no longer keep hedgies, but I had four in the past, and their names were: Ziggy, Zephyr, Tiggy and Snifter. Tiggy's name was an homage to Beatrice Potter's "Miss Tiggywinkle," to tie this all back to an earlier thread in the chat

Ooh, I love this song!

@Danosaur🦖 - Telex is so fun!

That synth sound always reminds me of a cat

@Danosaur🦖 - le chat in the chat

@Lizbot - Le chat box

Now for some German! "Blue Eyes."

FME - we're really getting international today

Ah, I thought I recognized Nena

@Danosaur🦖 - Le Chat R. Box

Nena! Schönes Deutsche Muzik!

@Dan We're rockin- the free world! 🎸🎹🌎

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - Always reminds me of the hotel I stayed at in Salzburg, Austria - Blaue Gans - Blue Goose!

Err, rockin'. Dang phone keyboard!

Hi Fran Blanche!

@Lizbot - haha!

@Fran Blanche - Ich liebe Neue Deutsche Welle!

If you're looking for a fun international TV show I recommend Kleo on Netflix. It's about and East German spy after the fall of the Berlin Wall

Kleo is very funny and strange with a bit of violence

Hmm, If I found a little black egg I would be worried about what would hatch out of it

I wish I had Netflix. I'm too busy for streaming services! 😁

@Danosaur🦖 - Ooh, I haven't heard of Kleo! I am looking for new shows to watch cuz a lot of shows watch I watch are between seasons. My mom is always interested in German shows, so I'll recommend it to her too

@Danosaur🦖 - yeaaaah, maybe the titular "Tarantula" Colourbox sang about earlier in the show would emerge from that egg!

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - I struggle to fall asleep at night, and falling asleep to the TV is the most effective way for me!

@Lizbot - Kleo is in German mostly with subtitles. I liked it but it has a very peculiar German sense of humor - very dark and strange.

@Fried Monkey Eggs (Monkey Jelly) - Definitely doens't have to be a boring show. It can be a show I really like, but after maybe an episode and a half, maybe only half an episode, I'm out

@Lizbot - I fall asleep to podcast dramas myself. Not that they're boring but it's something I've done since I was a child listening to CBS Radio Mystery Theater

This Aiko el grupo song is nice

@Danosaur🦖 - I love German humor! And German straight-forwardness! Some people find that second characteristic a bit off-putting or rude, but I just find it refreshing and kind of funny most of the time.

@Lizbot 6:53, the catbird will be so happy!

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - I love Aiko el grupo so much. I have it in my head that I'll get back to Madrid one of these days and I'll see them live

@Lizbot - Well, you're gonna like Kleo. Her character is extremely blunt

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - I'll be sure in include a small doodle of the catbird in my dedication

@Lizbot - got a bit of a color theme going here

Hopefully you will see Aiko el grupo, I'd hate to see you suffer if you don't

Spooky bops!

Esp Dalt

@Danosaur🦖- Yeah, it's really not even effective for me if it's a boring piece of media. I need to be engaged/invested in it, and that for some reason does the trick. A lot of people fall asleep reading, but I just stay awake if I read at night. I think I actually need the sound of the show

After all that Duolingo I still only made out like three words in the San Tropez song

Hi George Korein!

@George Korein - Spooky Bops were found on the sidewalk. This is unacceptable

@George Korein - haha, oh well. Blame the Belgian pronunciation!

Yay! They Might Be Giants!

@Danosaur🦖- This song makes me happy! Did you see any of their recent full-album revisiting anniversary shows?

First we had Telex twisting in San Tropez now we have They Might Be Giants twisting in the wind

Lizbot - I have not seen their shows

@Danosaur🦖 - Here's a twist: Here comes the twister!

Did anybody see Upper Wilds at TV Eye Sunday?

Hi David Shortell! No, but I would have liked to!

Quibble: Vyvyan's hamster was "SPG"--also the name of an Exploited song!

Thanks for the show, BCNU!

good show

@David Shortell - Oh right! Special Patrol Group!

Thanks for all the fun music and chat!

Oh booky spoops

THanks Dan!

Thanks OSsy! THanks Number 6

Awesome show tonight! 👍

Thanks for the show Lizbot, enjoy your vacation!!

See you in a couple weeks! commie filling in next week

That was supposed to say oh no

And yes, the chat too! 😁

I hope Commie Francis is well. Connie Francis died.

Commie Francis—I love that!
