Totla Tobias sitting in for Don't Back the Front tonight.

Hello DJ John Tobias!

Hello Alan and the global masses.

Bring on the Venn Diagram!!

(and I'm OK with "Improper Sets" s well LOL)

check in later on that one

Great way to start...!! The Cords!!

thanks, this sound will reappear throughout the night.

:)))

Mt. Pleasant is nice. The neighborhood is great too!

Pinky Tuscadero: biker chick

Wasn't Suzi Quatro Leather Tuscadero?

Yes, Suzi was "Leather"

From Suzi Quatro's wiki "Following a recurring role as bass player Leather Tuscadero on the popular American sitcom Happy Days"

thanks, mentioned on air

Watch out for the Malachi Crunch!

Hi Marcus! Hi John!

And hi Alan

What up, Rob!

Malachi Crunch shoulda been a grunge band name

Hello John!

or an ice cream flavor?

true

OK, John, your show is making me think of "Bowling with Bedrock Barney" by the Dickies

Didn't see that coming, but I'll take it.

Hey Rob! Hi !! Bird news here is that I haven't seen a wren all year...until two days ago, one at the back door, wouldn't leave...Weird!!!

(Rob is a fellow birder)

So i gathered.

Alan, very cool! Good thing it didn't come inside

A bit Teenage Riot - am I, right?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see they finally released the companion to "Polka Dot" (1982) by Bam-Bam

It's about time.

It's The Young Ones

BBC TV 1982, you called it John

wow, I'll do some googling when I go home.

LG !! :))

Suzi Quatro’s “Happy Days” character is in fact the subject of another track off that Tuscadero album: “Leather Idol”.

The album "This Could be Texas" reminds me of Big Black "Texas" (This is Texas)

DS, I'll have to check the lyrics

MH - I'll check that out, too.

A band named themselves after that Ursula K. Le Guin novel? I never read it; only saw the 1980 PBS movie.

John, the only lyrics to "Texas" are "This is Texas" so they could be making a reference.

probably, MH

DS, that's going down a serious rabbit hole

Hey there

Hi, TAndy

I remember one of the times I saw the Detroit Cobras, Greg Cartwright was playing guitar with them. The Hypos were scheduled to play Asbury Park’s Bond Street Basement last fall, until Hurricane Helene hit Greg’s hometown. They’ll be at Gonerfest in 3 weeks though.

Been tuned in since the start, loved the Geese and Novulent.

Your gig list puts me to shame. Lucky you.

Thanks TAndy.

Detroit Cobras have quite the live rep.

This is hawwwwwwwwwtttttt

Agreed

this has been a ripper of a show!

thanks, mentioned on air

This Cate Le Bon song was good, and the perfect song to say good night to. We have enjoyed you show tonight, John, ty

Thanks Rob

A Bridge too Far is a great war movie (1977)

Yes, I remember it.

Great to hear Cate Le Bon. She is coming to Phila - union transfer - Jan 2026!!!!!

glad u called out Midlake's "to" in a subtle way. Unless they meant "To 'Far'- which is not too far

I'll mentioned it on air. thanks

I probably pronounced it with a "too" , they went with "to."

lol

Thanks for all the comments tonight everyone.

Thanks John!

Yup

Thanks for the show, John!

Thank you John! Take care!

Thanks for listening as always. Had a fun time.
