hi!

Hey there, Esoterica! I'm jealous, I can't manage to get to any of the Melvins shows.

hey there, bud! i think the last time i saw them may have been 2019?

I've never seen them. I was hoping to get to the Bethlehem show, but couldn't manage to free the night up

when is that show?

are the playing the casino?

oh i see steel stacks

Hi Esoterica and everyone

Hi Rob:)

hi all

hey andrew!

i saw redd kross saturday!

they still got it

what?! how cool? with the melvins?

where did yu catch them?

at babys all right! das damen opened

amazing!

Hey Esoterica, streaming from a very windy Hatteras now where just 5 miles from here, 5 house fell to to wrath of the ocean in Buxton.

stay safe, john!

Yikes John!! Stay safe!!!!

Rob and Eso, thanks, we’re on the sound side not the ocean where yes, Five houses went into to ocean. Rodanthe north of here has gone thru this for several years.

oh my goodness

Yes, Alice was my first fave rock star! Soon followed by Paul McCartney and David Bowie. Don’t judge😎

no i loved them all too! and elton!

I wonder if this is the first time that the Spinanes and Alice Cooper have been played back to back on radio

haha probs!

I was jealous of Elton, he was cranking out more hits than McCartney. But what a great run for both of them in the 70s.

goodbye yellow brick road is one of my fave albums and captain fantastic

i prefer steven mcd singing this one!

oh yeah, andrew

waza

hey matt!

supernaut & a super dirty jersey sunset

SEX BOMB BABY YEAH

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is a great album!

oh yeah!

on both counts!

the mighty Flipper

yep for sure

fuzz man fuzz, it's purple

Electriclarryland

big time

Black Flag kills ... your hearing

lol yes

I saw on wikipedia that the current Black Flag vocalist is a woman and over 40 years younger than Greg Ginn, the only original member still in the band

wow didn't know that

that is cool

FNM!

Yup!

CoC nice

he almost sounds like phil lynott here

hey esoterica sets been great!!!

aw thanks michael!

i remember the song called albatros by corosion of conformity when i was a kid, think it was off the same cd, not sure i've listened to them since the 90s!

wow, michael!

loved are you experienced as well! was an ex's fav hendrix song, also may have never noticed, but relevant to the era of corosion of conformity, do butthole surfers use the are you experienced intro in there

song pepper?

oh yeah right, michael, they do

and 1 more thing cause threes are nice, was literally just telling a story about a friend of mine, whose name happens to be michael hurley lmao!

whoa ha

yeah first person i've ever seen go full mute, like body on auto pilot, but brain is like on vacation possibly to a diferent planet hahaahaha

huh sounds weird lol

Thanks, everyone, for stopping by!
