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

I gotta tell you, the curry chicken from my Chinese restaurant is on point tonight.
Dana K (host) 8:40:25 PM
I'm jealous. All I have is a bag of Doritos.
Steve Keane 8:41:25 PM
Prisoner. Curry. Just saying
Dana K (host) 8:42:16 PM
I thought you were going to cook!
Steve Keane 8:47:09 PM
Shit. OK. Fine. I'll cook a curry!
Steve Keane 8:47:40 PM
That's an oddly exciting idea!
Dana K (host) 8:48:15 PM
I want a Japanese curry.
Steve Keane 8:50:17 PM
I can do that. Is gochujang acceptable in it?
Dana K (host) 8:50:28 PM
I won't complain!
Steve Keane 8:51:29 PM
Alex just said he'd help with chicken katsu

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.

David Shortell 9:12:40 PM
My favorite Mutants songs, "Insect Lounge" and "New Dark Ages", are not on their album.
Dana K (host) 9:12:59 PM
I've got to check those out. I've only heard the album.
David Shortell 9:16:04 PM
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.
Steve Keane 9:20:48 PM
David, I had Avengers on today.
David Shortell 9:23:37 PM
Who are Bette Davis and the Balconettes? (Bette Davis died in 1989 and Betty Davis died in 2022.)
David Shortell 9:23:43 PM
And I missed “The Balconettes” at IFC last week! https://ifccenter.com/films/the-balconettes
Dana K (host) 9:25:18 PM
Late 90s garage rock band from Manchester. No one named Bette/Betty in the band.
Scooter France 9:32:04 PM
I love Bette Davis and the Balconettes!
Marcus Haupt 9:34:40 PM
Did you play Future Sound of London during your Madchester show?
Dana K (host) 9:35:18 PM
I did not!
Marcus Haupt 9:36:08 PM
Ever think of a Trip-Hop show?
Dana K (host) 9:36:33 PM
That could be fun for the fall drive.

NYE 2000 I saw Tricky in NYC
Colin 9:42:49 PM
for a second there i thought the idea of high 9ing my friends would be cool, but then i imagined sore thumbs
Colin 9:43:13 PM
thats a great 2k choice marcus!
Marcus Haupt 9:44:13 PM
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
Colin 9:45:43 PM
such an amazing random find! i had a random band find on nye 2k but not as cool
jimbooooo 9:45:58 PM
Oooof this so goooood
Colin 9:46:25 PM
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
Marcus Haupt 9:47:08 PM
Serious? That's so cool. Tied to the whippin' post...
Scooter France 9:47:15 PM
Damn, this Chemical track is great

Jon Solomon 9:57:49 PM
Didn't know a single song you played on my drive home but enjoyed every single one.
Dana K (host) 9:58:16 PM
That's what I love to hear!!
Richard of Rocky Hill 10:01:14 PM
@ Jon Solomon Yes! It's the magic of W'PRB working. :-))
Steve Keane 10:02:12 PM
Damn this show is on too late for a middle aged production unit. I go to bed. Goodnight sibling units.

"After M*A*S*H" and "Trapper John, M.D."?
Leonardo Aponte 10:07:49 PM
Please don't go !
Scooter France 10:08:01 PM
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
Colin 10:12:39 PM
i still often look up and say, choppers. sometime a couple of times a day
Marcus Haupt 10:13:40 PM
Colin, is it "5 O'Clock Charlie"?
Colin 10:15:41 PM
that could be me, i miss the target often.

I KNEW y'all would remember Spiritual Mafia and Bath Boy!
Brian Kijewski 10:31:37 PM
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.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 10:32:02 PM
My wife is going to play Bath Boy tomorrow, on her phone. She is going to listen to the entire Al Fresco album :-)

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.
Christine 𓅓 10:36:21 PM
G'night, Rob 🦀
Rob from Maryland 🦀 10:36:57 PM
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
