Hello!

Word up, Homeslice

sup homeskillet

Yeah Boyeeee!

My dude Marcus

Hi Dana! Happy Friday!! Hope you had a nice drive up to P-town

Good to have you back, Dana. My comments are lost on a host not conversant in the works of Big Black

oh my god this song is gonna get stuck in my head again LOL

Flipper. Aw...

Good evening everyone :)

Hi TAndy!

9! Yay!

TAndy, ha ha ha

And, Happy Birthday Don't Back the Front

Hi Rob! Thank you!

"Perfect Target" is my go-to Mutants track but it's a great album

That's a good one too!

Love Opposite World

@ Dana K (host) Another outstanding playlist. Loved Les Olivensteins' "Euthanasie"! Vive la musique pop-punk française ! (And Google Translate, too ... ;-D )

Hi Richard! Thank you!

Google Translate and Forvo are my lifelines...

I gotta tell you, the curry chicken from my Chinese restaurant is on point tonight.

I'm jealous. All I have is a bag of Doritos.

Prisoner. Curry. Just saying

I thought you were going to cook!

Shit. OK. Fine. I'll cook a curry!

That's an oddly exciting idea!

I want a Japanese curry.

I can do that. Is gochujang acceptable in it?

I won't complain!

Alex just said he'd help with chicken katsu

Oooh. Alex is a genius.

We'll either save pan-Asian cuisine or destroy it!

My son is a far superior lifeform than I am.

He's better than all of us.

Listening to these bleeps and bloops before I gttg

Excellent stuff, as always! Congrats on the nine years of ROCKING

Means a lot coming from the King of Rock and Roll himself!

👑👑👑👑

jk no gods no masters

Very stoked for that Nape Neck gig next month

He's actually a super cyborg from the far future who came back to out time to study us primitives from the olden times. He's really just masquerading as one of us.

No Mods, no Gasters!

9th? I believe. RR for new CBells

That's going to be such a good show

OiiiiiiiiiHAPPY IX YRRRRRRSS ❤️🖤❤️🖤 9️⃣

With Cartoon! And yes, the 9th I was right

Thank you JIMBOOOO

Best of the best

My favorite Mutants songs, "Insect Lounge" and "New Dark Ages", are not on their album.

I've got to check those out. I've only heard the album.

I heard the songs in “Louder, Faster, Shorter”, the 1978 minidoc about the Mabuhay Gardens scene. UXA, Avengers, Sleepers and Dils are also in it.

David, I had Avengers on today.

Who are Bette Davis and the Balconettes? (Bette Davis died in 1989 and Betty Davis died in 2022.)

And I missed “The Balconettes” at IFC last week! https://ifccenter.com/films/the-balconettes

Late 90s garage rock band from Manchester. No one named Bette/Betty in the band.

I love Bette Davis and the Balconettes!

Did you play Future Sound of London during your Madchester show?

I did not!

Ever think of a Trip-Hop show?

That could be fun for the fall drive.

Shamen

Front 242

I've definitely played Shamen before...I think for a NYE show?

High 9 Dj Dana K! and happy friday to us the listeners

Thanks Colin!

NYE 2000 I saw Tricky in NYC

for a second there i thought the idea of high 9ing my friends would be cool, but then i imagined sore thumbs

thats a great 2k choice marcus!

It was funny Colin. We didn't go out because of Y2K but when nothing happened we walked outside, across the park and right into a Tricky show that nobody bought tickets to so we got real close

such an amazing random find! i had a random band find on nye 2k but not as cool

Oooof this so goooood

for nye 2k, i went to a random beach in south carolina and the one of the almond brothers just happened to be playing that town. it was pretty good rock jams

Serious? That's so cool. Tied to the whippin' post...

Damn, this Chemical track is great

agrees with jimbo, and they did play hwhipping post!

🎷 9️⃣ 🎷

I was 9 for Y2K! My dad let me stay up late

Jesus Christ, Dana. Make me feel old, will ya

This a witness song is one of my all time faves!

Didn't know a single song you played on my drive home but enjoyed every single one.

That's what I love to hear!!

@ Jon Solomon Yes! It's the magic of W'PRB working. :-))

Damn this show is on too late for a middle aged production unit. I go to bed. Goodnight sibling units.

gn steve!

"After M*A*S*H" and "Trapper John, M.D."?

Please don't go !

I was a M.A.S.H. superfan as a child, and I was just confused by After M.A.S.H., so I wouldn't recommend it, but I don't think there is any way to actually watch After M.A.S.H. in 2025

i still often look up and say, choppers. sometime a couple of times a day

Colin, is it "5 O'Clock Charlie"?

that could be me, i miss the target often.

now it's a party! 🤖

Wu-Tang affiliates in the house!

We have enjoyed you show tonight, Dana. Thanks and good night!

Goodnight, Rob!

this sounds like best shaolin temple in all the lands

we could meet fa lunch... enjoy sumfing noyce,,,, share a meal and be seated t'getha... we c'dine .... al fresco...

Spiritual Mafiaaaaaaaaaaa 🇦🇺

Spiritual Mafia indeeddddd

Sounding great, Dana K! 📢

Bath Boy next? 🛀

1st heard this song from this a here lp on this a here station on Jen Red Lights show... then the Bath Boy came to town....

I am here until "Lunch" is over

I KNEW y'all would remember Spiritual Mafia and Bath Boy!

Just getting a chance to tune in now. Looking through the playlist, nice choice with Paris 1942. I learned of them from a friend back in June and love the s/t LP I found on youtube. Was surprised to see it's being reissued in much better quality. Or at least I think most of the songs from it are on the reissue, not all.

My wife is going to play Bath Boy tomorrow, on her phone. She is going to listen to the entire Al Fresco album :-)

We ❤️ BATH BOY

jus dip in a toe y'all

Hey Brian! I haven't had the chance to listen to all of the Paris 1942 reissue yet (it's not out yet), but what I've heard is great.

Filthy

somebody call the mafia! 😎

And now Prolapse!!!! But, I listened to I Wonder When today. So I'll listen to it tomorrow too

Brand new Prolapse!

So goodnight for real everyone!!

Indeed, they are awesome! Was talking with the person who recommended to me about Sun City Girls and that I couldn't quite get into them. He said it's his favourite recordings they were involved in.

G'night, Rob 🦀

Prolapse's The Italian Flag is one of my all-time favorite albums. And I Wonder When They're Going To Destroy Your Face is giving it a run for the money

G'night Christine and everyone! Goodnight Moon! Goodnight Prolapse! Goodnight Spiritual Mafia!

Goodnight Bath Boy jumping over the moon

lol, that could be a wprb shirt design!!

that track rn 🖤

Cheers, Dana K! 🚲

great show Dana!

Thanks so much for the show, Dana! You kept the energy going, now I'm ready to doze off in space soon... Have a good weekend, everyone.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET 🛀

high 9 dk! third hour was pretty bonkers

Night all! Glad you enjoyed!
