hello listeners! if anyone has capacity to record the show, could you?

w/u commie! i'm recording it but not exactly sure if its gonna work ill let ya know at the end

thank you for trying!

im sorry commie i can't figure it out, to only record the stream without picking up gonan try one mroe time on my other pc !

without picking up other audio

hi commy and feeling "the incredibles energy" by james bond!

Hi Commie. I started a recording around when I wanna be your dog started.

thank you brian!! and thanks michael, it's hard to do if you're not used to it. i appreciate you trying

i may or may not have from 8:17 to end of show !

good looks brian!

You are welcome. I will confirm at the end of show if I recorded properly. I don't have a way to monitor at the moment. My audio level meters sure do look pretty at the moment :)

And dig this reggae theme

Good evening, Commie Francis! Tuning in late but love the theme. Is "Elves" by The Fall on the list?

there is another fall song on the list!

Yay!

oh louie louie in here too

@ Commie Francis (host) Fascinating theme tonight! Think of how many vibrant popular music genres ~ blues, doo wop, country, folk ~ are often structured around basic common chord progressions but end up having true variety.

Hey Commie Francis and uneasy listeners!

Hi Alex, glad to hear you Crowe!

@ Richard Ha! @ CF Sliced Tomatoes progression, yay!

hi alex! and richard!

can anyone guess who the next song will be??

Walkie Talkie Man by Steriogram

Hi Commie, I used to record so many shows to cassette years ago. 5 years ago I used Audio Hijack to record stream of a local Philly broadcast of Woodstock. Worked out well and I didn't have to change out cassette tapes every 45 minutes.

it's handy! i have a setup to record my show at home but well my husband bill used to start it for me. and i forgot to start it before i left today

And this is a Can cover, yes?

Oh yes! "She Brings the Rain" with the refrain riff from I'm "Not Your Steppin' Stone"

yep!

my very first bass lesson when i was probably 12, my teacher taught me louie louie

sets been great commie!

thank you, this show has been years in the making

colin my first bass lesson was livin' after midnight!!

i didb't keep it up though

lol, starting off the J priest! that bass teacher had a plan for sure.

it's a super easy bassline, just a lil square

also it wasn't really a lesson, it was just bill showing me how to play it

i did not keep it up

Adverts!

the punk rock song writers union is gonna come knocking after this show. too many, if not all the trade secrets reveled!

man i forgot yummy yummy yummy / best friend's girl / just what i needed

Saying goodnight early. fest beer catching up with me. Great idea, great show CF!

lol, after the uneasy listening i was singing EMI at the end of that last one.

Jam to bust out a sick combo in Tony Hawk Underground to alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

imagine the CBS records board room discussions on black widow

hahah "satan is big with the kids i hear"

the deal with satan was like, your network will live forever but you gotta sign these guys.

cbs logo? eye of sauron? eh?

fun show yo
