MUSCLES. (as the Diesel Dudes say)

Thank you, Rosasolis! I am not sick, though my back was tight this afternoon

take care o' dat back, Rob MD!

yes do take care!! i had some rotten food on saturday so all of yesterday and today was a battlee.. but we remain unstoppable like this high rise

Just had some whiskey and ice cream for my back... let's goooooooooo

I will, Matt, ty. I have an 'emergency' massage tomorrow morning. And I have been stretching some today

Omg I just saw that bottom photo from the op on Instagram earlier lol

rotten food LOLOLOL Rosasolis. We all been there. Eek

Oh no @rosasolis! We hope you are feeling better now

Jimbooooo whiskey and ice cream! You're close to the ancient dutch recipe of herring, ice cream, and beer (YUM)

I jest

TAndy Mondee innit

I'm hard of herring 👂🏻🐟

LOLOLOL

The mondayest of Mondays indeed, for better or worse!

Hope to be herring some good tunes tonight

We had sardines in a big salad as our dinner

@jimbooooo that's a fishy statement

Tuned in over here!

Rob MD healthy!

Horace Tapscott soundin good!

Matt, I agree

This is TOUGH

skronkcaribégospel

right?? kudos to this solo rn (◡ ‿ ◡ ✿)

Rosasolis we have any Naked City on the docket? No prob either way. Just been on a NC kick lately. 8 second long songs LOLOL

omg we do! in the second hour, but i promise it will be worth it!!

YESSSSSSSSSS DAY MADE.

(◠‿◠✿)!

@ rosasolis (host) As ever, you post the most intriguing playlist images and play amazing tracks to go with them. Well done! :-D

POWER XYLOPHONE

XYLOPRAWN in da haus

Rosasolis is a helluva curator, Richard! I concur.

Hello Rosasolis! I am digging the scene here tonight

hii @richard!! im so glad you enjoy the playlist images and the tracks :) i try to make sure it encourages a nice night of travels 🎶 and good evening marcus!! glad you are tuned in :))

Fly, fly high blue bird [that's the sum of the lyrics]

i love a good xylophone~ and lol xyloprawn! omg 2022 throwback.. and @marcus yes! i love exploring those brazilian prog records :)

2022! Holy chit. I have no sense of time due to copious marijuana treatment/abuse.

I appreciate people whose minds still work

SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY, JIM, WE WERE JAWING ABOUT THE XLYOPRAWNS AND SUCH JAWNS

hi rosalina, you doing storytime with warioware ashley! https://www.deviantart.com/deaththeshadow/art/Let-Us-Begin-Ashley-1127820078

honestly these years have blurred recently so i dont blame even the marijuana probably~ and hii ossy!! yes a storytelling kinda night tn :)

Naked City during the 9 o' clock hour! I caint waaaaiittttt. DJ DebbieWeb has been reading a spooky story at 7 on her show for spooky season, has been fun

Everything after 1973 is a blur for me

Holy shit this is super crazy

Mackenzie Theory! Indeed TAndy

Music for xyloprawns

Xyloprawn Theory

i love this song!!

STRUTTIN MY WAY ON O'ER TO YOU

i think those weird sounds were from an electric viola!! @tandy! and oh i need to catch debbie's show then!! maybe i can reenact charlie brown's the great pumpkin here as await for things like linus

and hii jo!! im so glad :) its such a grooovy track~

yessssssssss

Debbie read a cool spooker about the Emily ghost of Flanders, NJ

flanders sounds like a haunted ass name im not surprised

hi rosa! I started reading in search of lost time recently, its so good

and that smells haunted as well lol

haunted smells LOL Ozzy

exactly something for lizbot's halloween doubleplus show, LOOOOL

Drum circle in Fort Greene Park music

@matt how long did it last? and @jo oh yay! wish we could have a chatwide discussion on it; did you finish swann's way? already there are so many memorable motifs in that first volume.. and lolol i could see that!

Just discovered this station and block while surfing my radio, this may be the best thing of all time

my bad, sorry, I pushed the wrong button

Christopher R nice!

DJ sounds good, onward! No mercy.

Erkin Koray! This may summon the great Capdoc Ahab

hii christopher!! yayy thats such a great bit of luck :) happy to have you here~ :) truly wonderful djs and shows at this station so i hope you can check out more!

and @matt i was thinking the same thing!!

that gold record is rad

Music to whirl your Dervish to

Marcus LOL

Matt: that gold record is like a spoil from Troy

haaaa! beaten gold

now this would be a great gold record for the wprb record store hunt

pretty rad there is a gold record on Voyager 1 & 2, way dafuq out dere

SO heavy 🪨🪨🪨

DJ yessssss

I am only like 100 pages into swann's way but there is a lot of memorable imagery so far, I like how stressed out he got about kissing his mom goodnight and I just got to the part about the fictional author bergotte which feels very meta

I'm a grownass man but I still look for the monkey when I'm at a Trader Joe's

Jo S awesome, love lit. talk

ooo yes, wprb record store hunt and picnic for real

DJ is this a dude playing the radio a la Hulgar Czukay?

i def need to explore more anatolian rock.. and @jo yes! bergotte becomes one of a few major inspirations for marcel the narrator as he strive to fashion his own creative voice; the part where he is fretting about the goodnights kiss blends so well with the warm if spotty recollections of the moving pictures on his magic lantern :) i hope you continue to enjoy it!

and @matt yes!! michael snow, the structuralist filmmaker! i think he might have done it ealier but ill have to check!

Love the alien sci fi ufo like ambient scary noise and interestingly playing zelda oot, with this song named colors of time haha

oh chit we gettin' structuralist ovah heeeereeee! LOLOLOL

DJ what are we talkin here, Saussure, Derrida, Chomsky, Thomas Sebeok on the brain & language?!

Umberto Eco and Semiotics

I guess if we are a Princeton-affiliated radio chat we gonna get DEEP sometimes. Deep! Dip! That went deepppppppppp

focused on the material strucure of film itself! so like playing around with either flickers and light or intense duration and minimal repitition like in snows film wavelength! antholofgy film archives has a bunch of screenings of these in their essential cinema series~ and ooh yes umberto eco

I kept Umberto Eco's drinking glass for a number of years

oh fuq Rosasolis that's awesome

Jimboooo what!!

Rosasolis it called to mind the sound artist Christian Marclay playing crazy objects on a turntable

He read at a bookstore I worked at, so we enshrined his water glass

Jimboooo that's dope

rosasolis: like the 1943 film Meshes of the Afternoon?

wprb has been promoting Solaris excellently. I think it'll be a good turnout and some pungent spice in the air if ya know what I mean and I think ye do

very nice transition

@jimbo thats lovely!! was it in philly?? and @marcus yes they have that film there on their series too! i always think about that mirror image of maya deren looking out of her window.. and @matt omg yes thank you for reminding me! i need to do that lol and @tandy im glad it was noticed :))

summon by rajie espresso good evening

good evening brooke!! this album is amazing especially that title track~

Rude Girl!

RAS TAAAAAAAAA

Ozzy say it

Lee Scratch Perry: The Upsetter

RIP Scratch! What a brilliant lunatic

yess lee scratch perry with amazing dubs alwayss

Great old Selecta Jerry Saturday afternoon reggae times 🖤💛💚🖤💛💚🖤💛💚

yessssss Ozzy nice

SELECTA JERRRRRYYYYYYYY

I have the Dillinger version of "Dub Organizer" on my playlist

💛🖤💚💛🖤💚💛🖤💚💛🖤💚

Cause he's the best Rowan and Princeton Sabbath!!!

Marcus nice. I am a big fan of Roast Fish & Cornbread; and Who Put the Voodoo 'Pon Reggae

and of course LSP's song about how he's an alien from outer space

Bedward! (LSP song)

'e want to fly but got no wing mon

For me, huge on Sonya Spence 💚🍀☀️🎗

Also written by Lee Perry: Chase the Devil by Max Romeo

Chase the devil on repeat!!

ooooo nice

is that the one with king tubby?? i need to revisit some of mine, and these are all great :)

@rosasoilis: check out the Mad Professor's dub version of "chase the devil"

King Tubby is the best-sounding dub I've heard; Lee Perry the most adventurous & experimental

Clement "Coxsone" Dodd had some heavy dubs

This Sirom is a niiiccceee

Marcus H ooo yeah. I read a crazy article about Gregory Isaacs' life and all his children scattered 'bout Jamaica

ill make sure to check it out @marcus! :) always enjoy some heavy dubs.. and yess its a new track!! just last weekend

speaking of heavy https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/499571961_1280949404039863_80802911152131601_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=833d8c&_nc_ohc=t-jvRWHiNBUQ7kNvwFmBH9Q&_nc_oc=Adnys1fQPjpHxqHASXNhmeBmkh_7XYT72hOENj24b8LLnd5YJr5IgIsBHTxEeGjvqDw&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.xx&_nc_gid=3fH0T3KrYdERlwb6MlxA5g&oh=00_AfdtaIgIJyMDJSQzAHLNa-q7HTU1sxmTm_wSdxkOA_oFjA&oe=68F36EC0

curls upon the neck, ribs upon the mountain is METAL

we need a meme like that for free follk

Some dj Marv Rosen heavy right here!

this station is always playing some wild stuff. makes these late night drives interesting. I love shazzaming a song and seeing double digit precious shazams. it's like finding buried treasure. This 'Curls around the nuck' is WILD

keep up the awesome work

oh chit this band is Slovenian. Some real talent comes outta there (sniff, tic, waves hand thru hair manically, Zizek)

S Mulhall well said!

Laibach

Marcus YES. the mighty Laibach!

hii s mulhall! thats always what i love to hear, especially as im hoping for the same whenever im driving late! so happy you could tune in :))

@matt i appreciate the zizek reference heh.. and @marcus i havent heard any laibach? any recs??

Life is Life was Laibach's first big hit

sounds like Marcus knows the Laibach; I just remember them here n there

Good night @rosasolis and everyone. We have enjoyed your show tonight

Yes, the Opus song

goodnight rob!! have a lovely week :)) and ooh they look like great fun

https://weedian420.bandcamp.com/album/trip-to-serbia Weedian doesn't have a Slovenia comp, but they have Serbia. "Is close," Zizek says, sniffing and gesticulating. "You know, philosopher, sniff, war criminal, sniff, same thing."

Lovely raga song! DJ RUNGUN WITH THE STUNGUN on Sangeet on the wprbbbbbbb

wait so is weedian a group or a label?? cause i also see compilations online.. and yess always need a sangeet inspired piece

Rosasolis great question, it has always confused me too. Label & comp series.

Ridiculously prolific comp series, for stoners.

Usually stoners aren't that productive.

oh seems perfect for an extended stoner sesh for those who practice hehe.. and @ossy the album cover for the last release also reminds me of that ufo scene from majoras mask

https://youtu.be/NZbWl_rWs_Y?si=BEW8LzuFQRtC8Leq shameless plug for my bands demo. South Jersy/Philly based prog black metal outfit. give us a listen! much love to yall

will do S Mulhall

will make sure to check it out!! always in need of some prog black metal :)) ~

especially during this time of the year

https://media.tenor.com/SVvj2vUuPWAAAAAM/black-metal-black.gif

ooooo nice Grand Guignol! The big daddy! Many thanks dj.

this song goes all o'er the place fearlessly

have you ever listened to the version with mike patton?

oh chit that's right there's different versions with Eye, Patton, and the other heavy dude from Napalm Death wuzzit?

or Brutal Truth, somethin like that

This sounds like the Patton version with his trademark sound fx?!

Napalm Death? I haven't heard that names in a long time

im doing a bit of remixing!! perhaps (◡ ‿ ◡ ✿) and yeah i havent played them in so long!

there's some Naked City connection to grindcore, maybe in drummer dept. and of course vocalists

this sounds like that hooligan Patton LOL

oh chit there's Eye! This is rad

Solaris is one of my all time favorite movies

Marcus I hearya. Loved the book and movie. Shall look dope on ye olde big screen.

I do rec the book, which goes into details about the planet the movie doesn't; nonetheless a helluva movie

Tarkovsky was punk rock. Filmed a movie at, ya know, a highly radioactive abandoned building in a highly radioactive area where the radioactive is almost VISIBLE, but yeah, no biggie for Tarkovsky

I've been stuck on the same page of Mason & Dixon for 5 years but would love to read Solaris

(the wonderful Stalker)

Marcus LOLOLOLOL!!

Andrei Rublev is my second favorite Tarkovsky film

omg mason and dixon!! that was on my reading list, how is it so far tho lol?? im def going to rewatch a lot of the tarkovsky films

I shall always remember Failure playing Tarkovsky film clips instead of an opening band (Tree of Stars tour)

I love the book. I just need to plan a vacation around finishing it

Awww yeaaaa

@tyler i got some more tracks im hoping to sneak in :)) and @marcus im inspired to read it now maybe that can be my project before the end of the year.. and @matt oh wow! i remember playing a bunch of a particular failure track on this show i forgot which one tho

stay luma rosalina, this broadcast smells awesomeness!!

it's written in a "obsolete vernacular" [that's a Wes Anderson quote but it applies] and takes some getting used to but I feel all the Pynchon magic

Great show, great textures, thanks Rosasolis!

the greatest radio show in the history of radio, that's what happened onight

I love hearing your insane music while doing my homework !!! thank you rosasolis dream

thank you so much everyone for tuning in <3 really appreciate all your kind words; have a blessed time until next show!!

I take a night class and I have to do 2 problem sets every week and it's a lot, but even though I'm exhausted doing them through the night I get to hear these beats, so its all worth it

omg yay! ill make sure you have more insane and fun tracks to do your work too :) good luck with your problem sets andy~
