Hello Princeton and beyond
John Coffey 8:10:19 PM
I think I need to go down a Tina and Ike rabbit hole! Not something I was hearing in 8th grade.
John Tobias (host) 8:11:12 PM
that's probably how I found this one
TAndy 8:58:21 PM
Hey I thought I recognized that voice
John Tobias (host) 8:58:32 PM
a classic
John Tobias (host) 9:04:50 PM
I love that rock and roll pinky on the 2 and 4 or is on the 1 and 3?
Rob from Maryland 🦀 9:05:12 PM
Hey, Bad Moves! Among other groups
Rob from Maryland 🦀 9:05:22 PM
And good evening everyone
John Tobias (host) 9:05:26 PM
It's that kind of night
Rob from Maryland 🦀 9:06:03 PM
I wish I could have heard The Guy Who Sings Songs
John Tobias (host) 9:06:18 PM
the snippet will cover most of it
John Tobias (host) 9:06:47 PM
He probably has Maryland album, too.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 9:11:01 PM
I bet he does. It might be hard for me to locate
John Tobias (host) 9:12:20 PM
everything is just a click away
michael gudgeon 9:17:02 PM
thought this was conor
John Tobias (host) 9:20:56 PM
he must be another one of our amazing dj's
Rob from Maryland 🦀 9:49:22 PM
DC 9
John Tobias (host) 9:50:17 PM
that's it
Rob from Maryland 🦀 9:50:22 PM
or DC9
John Tobias (host) 9:51:32 PM
either way should show up on map
Rob from Maryland 🦀 9:52:00 PM
Yup
michael gudgeon 10:02:23 PM
big fan of that last one
John Tobias (host) 10:04:22 PM
a fine tune indeed
michael gudgeon 10:04:28 PM
the telephone numbers, singer sounded like conor oberst to me i switched back expecting to see bright eyes but saw a new band i must check out!
John Tobias (host) 10:05:13 PM
oh, that conor - from earlier
David Shortell 10:08:53 PM
I wore my Ike & Tina t-shirt when I saw Peter Stampfel almost exactly a year ago at Roosevelt Borough Hall in western Monmouth County. He told me the Holy Modal Rounders opened for them in 1968!
John Tobias (host) 10:10:55 PM
Nice, I'll have to fit them in a future show
David Shortell 10:12:57 PM
I might end my 20 year boycott of the Stone Pony to see Redd Kross there. It's easier than going to Baby's All Right where Das Damen are opening for them Saturday.
John Tobias (host) 10:13:15 PM
You win either way
TAndy 10:16:49 PM
That was a pretty cool drive to work with the music! Keeping it locked on the web stream from here on our 😎
John Tobias (host) 10:19:24 PM
Cool, thanks, TAndy, appreciate it.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 10:29:44 PM
Great show, thanks mucho John! Goodnight and have a great weekend everyone!
Colin 10:30:53 PM
dirty fences!🤩
John Tobias (host) 10:31:59 PM
super catchy track
David Shortell 10:36:07 PM
I thought "Shame, Shame, Shame" was from the Rolling Stones’ “Tattoo You” album! There are multiple songs with that title. I don’t think the song the Stones recorded is the same one Smiley Lewis sang as Eli Wallach chased Carroll Baker through an attic in this Elia Kazan film:
David Shortell 10:36:11 PM

John Tobias (host) 10:37:59 PM
The TY song was a blues cover. The BAB track was different. I checked them both out this afternoon.If I'm wrong, my ear is worse than I thought.
David Shortell 10:47:35 PM
This Tuesday: Dirty Fences play at TV Eye (1647 Weirfield St, Ridgewood, NY) with Nancy, Blue Hundred, Theophobia and TVO.
David Shortell 10:47:38 PM
Then on October 18: Dirty Fences and Wyldlife play outside Rutt’s Hut (417 River Rd, Clifton, NJ), broadcast live on WFMU’s Todd-O-Phonic Todd Show.
John Tobias (host) 10:48:52 PM
Thanks, I'll mention it on air.
Colin 10:55:24 PM
