Good evening!

Yaaaaaay! It's Dana Kaaaaaaaay! Hope you had a nice drive to the Barge...

Alan!

Sports car Girl LOL!!

Flatmates??

Hey Rob! Hi there!!

And good evening everyone

Heya everyone

Dana k! Welcome back'

Hi Alan!

Cars suck. My last car ate through wheel bearings and brake calipers for no good reason, as much as I miss that thing.

And hi TAndy and Marcus and Dana K

I absolutely Love "All Over the Place"

Sleeve

Hi Rob, TAndy, Marcus!

Sleeve!

Have you ever played NJ's own The Individuals "Dancing with my Eighty Wives" ?

I think I have! I love that song.

Might fit into the next hour!

hi there

Hey Andrew!

I haven't heard that Individuals song in forever

and it would be great to hear it again

You got it. It'll fit in well with some of the stuff I'm playing later (hopefully before you go to bed, Rob)

Heya Rob

Hi yoni and Andrew G' and future chatters

Hey Rob!

TY Dana!

Every band I've played so far starts with the letter S!

Not this one though

...but it has an "s" in it tho...

..and so does "Bicycles"..

I start with S

This is all true

Vibratorssssss....

Yesssss

this band is putting the power in power pop

Canada!

Sleev

You've met my cats but I haven't met Sleeve. It's not fair

Like, why were these bands who were living through the Troubles motivated to make such sweet pop music??? I want to know

You can meet Sleeve, Steeve

https://www.thetonearm.com/teenage-kicks-in-a-war-zone-the-discreet-radicalism-of-northern-irish-punk/ this looks interesting

Bookmarked

Same

this is the first track without an "s"...just sayin'....

Oh no!

Dana: so far this show has been recharging my psychological battery which def needs recharging...

That's why I'm here!

All rise for Florida's national anthem

YESSSS

CRUMB BUMS UNITE!

Hi Chris! Glad Frank summoned you

Love those bad boys

I'll be seeing you

Great Tailors and costumes!!!

'cause you REALLY don't want it to End!

I don't! I don't want to say goodbye to my friends!

I'd get the Blu Ray but I'm a contrarian.

so there! Nothing wrong!!

Ultraviolence - what the Droogs were up to in A Clockwork Orange when they weren't listening to The Heaven Seventeen

Or they were at the Korova Milkbar

This rules

🐸 ribbit

Dragnet is so great

Fleshtones has a song "Them from 'The Vindicators'" - no such movie exists

theme

Didn't realize there was new Liiek!

Out in two weeks!

DK!

The Individuals!

In my head I always pair this song with 88 Lines about 44 Women

And "Avenue B" by the Major Thinkers?

I don't know that one!

BE A ZOMBIE

Killin it Dana! We play volleyball to your set every week 😎

Oh hell yeah!

Thanks for playing The Individuals so early, Dana! Off to sleep we go. Good night and have a great weekend everyone

You're welcome, Rob! Goodnight!

I'm staying up past my bedtime!

I wish I could teleport home to my bed

this is great, The Fall would be proud

I try to channel Mark E Smith in everything that I do

One of the finest post-punk bands to come out of Minneapolis

Did someone channel Mark Edward Smith just now?

I felt a disturbance in the force

I made a M.E.S. badge with our button maker at work

He's using a two finger salute

M.E.S. sez OI

thanks for the great Friday night vibe hanging out in my cluttered kitchen cooking and drinking definitely don't feel lonely with this coming over the analog air waves

<3 you're very welcome, Paul

Marathon? you're playin' the song of my life Dana!

I stayed up 30 minutes past my bedtime and now I'm delirious. Goodnight everyone

Goodnight Steve! Goodnight Goji! Goodnight Alfie!

food is done now I'm going to eat to the beat :)

what's for dinner?

pseudo omelette ended up being scrambled broccoli heirloom tomatoes onions garlic wine etc.

and Kentucky cold snacks :)

really I'm loving the show thank you

you're welcome!

it's cool that it comes in up here I am just over the Bucks County line of Pennsylvania , by the river, the radio waves must ricochet up the river Valley

oh yeah and smoked salmon and avocado and habanero kitchen sink eggs

WPRB has a huge range! Though it breaks up a bit where I am in Philly.

Dana & paul : Good PRB sigs here just north of Doylestown on any of my FM radios, consider myself lucky :)))

i'm a tree climber guy and I have an old Sony battery operated radio in my pocket and I'll listen for hours on earbuds :-) :-)

alan: yeah cool even when I drive towards North Jersey I hear it for a long time

Have an old Sony Boombox on the fridge..Great sound on that thing,fills the room..

alan: my old JVC mini stereo with RadioShack speakers is also on the fridge and I have one of those long antenna wires in the T-shape that spans about 6 feet- :)

paul: It's the simplicity of FM !!!

Last song!!

Wow! Dana, that was a Super Fast 3 Hrs!!!

another fantastic job, Dana! Loved every minute

Thanks guys! Such a pleasure

Dana: Thanks for the tunes, this show was just what I needed today, all super stuff, Take care, safe drive, and Be Seeing You!

Be Seeing You 👌

thank you again dk

Thanks for the show, Dana!

Night all!
