Good evening!

oy!

oi oi oi

Yo! What up my peeps?

Hi Marcus!

Tonight feels like a night for Sex Gang Children

Hmm! I like the way you think.

Are you familiar with the early Pretty Poison albums like "Laced" very goth

Yes! I love "Sealed with a Kiss"

I'm spamming the chat but this song sounds like the Chameleons JU.K.

It definitely does.

Ugh this is the BEST 💥💥💥

AGREED

HELLO DANA K!!

HI CHRIS

Let's all be lonely together

Tuned in late, sorry to miss Colourbox

A veritable Crowd of Joyful Loneliness

We all are alone but we're listening to you live 💗

I'm alone with my friends!

I just created an account on here to tell you You're pretty cool Dana keep it rocking all night long!

"I'm Alone with My Friends" sounds like it would be a great song by The Undertones

Thank you, Christian!

No no thank you kept me in tune driving back from Philly to Toms River !

Section 25! A band I have known OF for long time, but don't know well at all

They're worth checking out!

Here's an obscure one for you

I'm pretty sure this Tears for Fears LP was in the stacks at WPRB when I was there. But then they got huge and we ignored them... as one does

Is Salvador Dali's car like Pablo Piscasso's Eldorado?

Good reference!

The three of yas!

Please do a Eurovision show, Dana K!

And hello everyone

Hi Rob! Maybe I will!

That would be nice!

it does not happen often with dbtf, but i know this song!! as well as i haven't heard this in years!

Hi Colin!

Hi Dana &crumbs!

Jim!

hey otter! whistle solo!

i fed pretzel crumbs to the birds today. it is our way

The way of a true crumb bum

Or are the birds crumb bums?

the birds are pure chaos.

You played "Melancholy Man" once and now I love this band

Yesss I love to hear it

Melancholy Man is so good

Request for The Fall The Fall The Fall?

Alternatives such as Blue Orchids, The Creepers, and Adult Net are also welcome

Let me see what I can scrounge up!

I suppose that band got their name from the Science Fiction Sketch in the 7th broadcast of "Monty Python's Flying Circus". A rare case of an exceptionally long skit dominating a whole episode. https://montypython.fandom.com/wiki/Blancmange

@Chris: Adult.Net "Incense and Peppermint"

HELLO AGAIN DANA K AND THANK YOU

Thank YOU!

This song reminds me I must cancel my subscription to Disney+.

I was thinking the same thing...

Dead Can Dance Dead Can Dance Dead Can Dance

if any more of these streaming apps need a cancellin', I'm going to have to start reading books again

Books. I remember those.

I need to renew my library card!

I need to give the free library the right address so I can get a new card!

this and the past 7 songs 🖤

sets been dope!

Thanks fellas!

about a week ago i was wondering if i truly remembered what dead can dance sounded like, it has been years. results are i remembered.

They haven't switched it up on us!

was gonna quiet set for comms and game sound but i cant do it

heavy german tape jams kinda friday

derp, i'm no so good at geometry map type stuff

Ohithere

Henlo

FWIW The Feelies covered "Ex Lion Tamer" last Saturday at World Cafe Live. In case you needed an excuse to play Wire

Ty for the tears for fears, no better way to wake up for work tbh

Hey Dana, is it possible to get some bikini kill

Ouggghh I wish I had gone!

Hi Gary! I love Bikini Kill, but I might have to save them for next week!

the synths on tonights selections 🤖 😎

I recently saw the docum., life of a punk singer i think, it was great!

I have to see that!

I also need to watch the DEVO documentary still

Durutti Column, O.M.G. Much 80s, much love

my open tabs are like a too do list. i'm pretty good at keeping it under 10.

i drank a pretty hefty volume of coffee afterwork so deep sleeps are a little ways off.

I had a little coffee too this evening. Gotta work tomorrow, hoping sleep won't be too elusive.

is playing dolby, numan, and the b52s in radio some sort of radio gordie howe hat trick? but glad we witnessed it.

Sleep by Windows, that's the ticket https://youtu.be/0Wu9AtBqpnY?si=XVPMzJ7vP2zXQWbK
