With Readie Righteous

Shake off the week, oh Righteous Ones! It's everything from Acid-Folk to Ziglibithy. Light the candles, drape your scarves; this is your time! I bring thee ambient, Afrobeat, international, Tuareg, Tuvan throat singing, queercore, gnawa, pop, disco, post-punk, jazz, soul, R 'n' B, obit-core and more. Opportunistic singing-along with your DJ is de rigeur. Your lagniappe: historical perspective, social consciousness, irreverence.

¡Déjame Volar!

Hey James-y! First in! you get the cookie today!

And the CHEF is here BAM - time to kick it up a notch, eh chef? What's for dinner?

feel free to sing along with this one y'all 😁

Up Nay Aug Park, sounds great outside ❣️

clams on the half-shell to start

Hey James! Beautiful - are you at the gorge?

NEPA RULES

That's Northeast Pennsylvania for the uninitiated!

Nope, on my bike under a shade tree...

WPRB blasting at the home of the Susquehonnock , Iroquois-speaking tribes!!!

James, sounds fabulous! All good vibes from the Barge in Princeton!

*Iroqouis

Nay Aug translates Roaring Brook

Yes, indeed - some of the most beautiful landscape anywhere!

Today is a gorgeous one

You're a gorgeous one sistah

Awww, thank you, bruv! 😍

A lovefest tonight on WPRB ❤️❤️

They be lovin ya

kick kik kik

love going out to the victims families of the bus crash in New York State - NY Thruway closed- a tragic scene

Hey Readie! How ya doin' ??? Beautiful day for week wacking while listenin' to Redlights...then cleanup wind down with Adiemus ..time to chill now....

Hiya Alan! Does that mean you're wacking the rough week?

and Always remember to wear eye protection while weed wacking too!!

😉

and yeah kinda rough week but hey here i ammmm...!!!

Yes! you never know what's gonna wack up!

(small rocks)

Can you say.. eclectic?

They were leaf blowing all over the place today - so annoying. Fumes, & loud loud loud - also small bits of dirt and rock...WHY?

Readie: because sometimes people + machines = trouble..

@James - I read that as - can you say "electric" LOL! and I was gonna say- yeah - electric leaf blowers!

(power happy)

But yes, James - Recherché is all about eclecticism...WPRB generally I say!

I was thinking how nice the sound of a rake would be! There aren't THAT many leaves right now!

I advocate Analog yard implements

Readie: and yet another way to goof off and look busy LOL

LOL Alan!

Cumbialert! Cumbialert! ding ding ding ding ding chk a chk a chk!

Hey ! Brian D successfully summoned! Aya Aya!

Hi Readie Rainbow https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&sca_esv=0051b87ac2de4e52&udm=2&fbs=AIIjpHxCtmkhHKu27CW9pNYJlh4RoZZ_y8scaivnpjp3a9aEstvyzM9WArA0Q4B52rAVe2QNsj_451Xh5JY5sEH7FWDtA30t_tdYVQtaA2js5ULsljOwR75mryKFQvMDE3Lt8v3M7siLwRK6t_e9lKEUyMr8UYN7a2CQk92D-RcGnKFX-eb9bgVV6DmSuk-fOW2QhRsgqQuOGhgvcO4kWvINmg63E_AXpzqWdyAUMPbZnfd_qmgFits&q=gif+ms+frizzle&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiGpYygsZ-PAxWWK1kFHWceOCMQtKgLegQIDxAB&biw=411&bih=702&dpr=1.75

Ahh, hi Ossy!- Mizz Frizzle! LOL

I must confess- I have not seen Reading Rainbow...

BELEWWWWW!

Love those honkings and twonkings of Adrian Belew

YEAH Belew! save the day

Adrian on "Elephant Talk Guitar"

sure resembles an elephant wail- in the best way!

Brian - is that a Roland guitar processor on his guitar?

readie - I recently saw some of Reading Rainbow months ago and pretty great holds up, like Levar speaking about 9/11 and old school artists like Run DMC

and saw some of magic school bus as well.

@Ossy - yes- I've seen clips of Levar Burton on the show - was that on PBS?

someone I know knows little of the mainstream old school stuff, even ones in the modern

And yes, PBS

Heard btw the PBS station got targeted by "that administration" cause of those obvious anti diverse reasons

I hope PBS can survive the onslaught - so much great childrens' programming - of course Mr. Rogers-classic

And mascot Arthur, Seasame Street, Cyberchase, Dragon Tales and the list goes on

@Ossy - it is a shame. basic human kindness and community is under attack

Fortunately they got Mr Rodgers on Pluto tv free from the anti dei smelly people

and yeah right!? A horrible toxic world just cause not everyone is mutual

That's good - I guess there are commercials on Pluto, still...

And you probably won't know,, but this cute show in the Pbs 2010s called Elinor Wonders Why and Odd Squa...hope they don't get in their harms way

I hope PBS can survive! These programs are so good for our kids and adults alike!

*odd squad...and some scientific and math world ruled by kids wearing high top converses, LOL

meant to say kid government agent heroes in high converses, not rulers LOL https://www.google.com/search?q=odd+squad&oq=odd+squad&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYjwIyBwgAEAAYjwIyDwgBEC4YQxixAxiABBiKBTIKCAIQABixAxiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQLhiABDIHCAUQABiABDIMCAYQABhDGIAEGIoFMgcIBxAAGIAEMgcICBAAGIAEMgcICRAAGIAE0gEIMzYwNGowajeoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

odd squad - lol! - produced by Fred Rogers!

ooo and forgot word girl, another iconic pbs show and cartoon, and yes readie!

math and science!

Bonjour! Just got back home from Montréal!

Hey Addie- bienvenue!!! how was your trip?!?!

Lovely day in the city! We met a friend from Toronto for poutine at La Banquise (24 hour poutine!) then went to Arsenal Contemporary Art, sat by the canal a bit, and headed home!

readie - halloween seasons ago, I was a male version of this odd squad goverment leader black girl, coded Ms. O, LMAO https://i.pinimg.com/originals/80/1e/94/801e9497c2a6ac69d60ea559f84c8183.jpg

and hi addi

Hi Ossy!

Sounds like a beautiful day, addie! Love Montréal!

@Ossy - that young woman up front looks pretty fierce!

Is that the one you dressed as ?

Wow-addie- poutine! do they have vegan poutine?

This was the first time I’ve spent any real time there in almost 30 years! It was like being teleported to Europe.

just thinking of it makes me hungry!

I love how European it is there! Been there twice - took some great pics of a beautiful, colorful graffiti wall - a work of art!

Hi Readie, enjoyed this last set!

Hey Rob F- great! welcome on in! Thanks for the good words!

switchin' gears here!

Ha, I always enjoy the Afrobeats and Reggae

Yep, me too, Rob F - gotta pull out some reggae next week - it's been a while. Always love the afrobeats

readie - scary commanding underneath an adorable stance to throw her enemies off! https://oddsquad.fandom.com/wiki/Oprah

I loved Ms. O!

addie - WOWIE, you know of odd squad too!

@Ossy - Ms. O is awesome!

and as you might have seen earlier in the chat, I was a boy version of her some halloween seasons ago!

that is very cool, Ossy.

readie - oh yeah, and funny my name starts with o as well

I will have to try to stream some Odd Squad!!!

o for ossy! Oprah - ozzy...yeah!

talking throwbacks and halloween season is coming, I think I would be Ms. O once again, hahaha and yeah as well seeing the series again, if free on youtube!

will have to check out youtube for episodes!

I bet Oprah Winfrey will have a blast badass liking of Ms O, LOL

I bet you're right, Ossy!

this artist from Doylestown!!

Yep, I saw that!

I thought you might, Alan!

all ears here!!

readie - so I read Ms O's page again and she's older than she looks, over 100 years for some strange scary reason!

She's playing at Jon & Peter's in New Hope on the 30th

Nothing gets by you Alan! 😉

nah!

I wonder which Pharmacy she's singing of!

Readie!! Hey there!

Good morning, TAndy! Hey! great to see ya!!!

How goes it?!

I woke up just in time for the last couple of sets for the show, so it's already a pretty decent night.

Sweeet, TAndy! Thanks for the good words!! great to have you on board!

Love this song so much it hurts. Seriously

YES!!!! G-Jax!!!!

Reminds me of

same..

my Dad. Not gonna bring the room down. But I could.

👂 ❤️

all is welcome!!!

back then violin's etc..

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

..and horns...

@G Jax ❤️❤️

@Ears❤️❤️

CHICAGO...

to all ❤️

when they were Chicago Transit Authority!

oh yes!

No sadness with Chicago music. None at all. My young childhood. Happy time

sweet, G Jax!!!

Marmalade is such an under-rated band...

I dated a chick that could play most of their tunes on an acoustic guitar..them days..

in the days of understatement..

Yeah I'm still stuck on the Marmalade tune. It just does that to me. I honestly don't know anything else by them. I should though.

Funny you should mention that - I just downloaded the charts to "Reflections" to learn that song...on guitar.

@G-Jax- I highly recommend them - I'll be playing much more Marmalade when I sit in for Wilbo on Tuesday at noon!

The guitar solo in that is backwards

it's mellow as hell, isn't it?

It's a perfect tune

I so agree, G

PRB playin' the entire song here without cutting off the end... YES! CTA!
