Chat is archived.

Hi!!!

Let's see if I can do a radio show while PROFOUNDLY EXHAUSTED

Hello!

Hi Marcus!

Where are all my chatters tonight?!

Blah blah blah blah

If you're going to play "Barnabas Collins" please let it be the Rub-a-Dub version on "The Other Side of Dub" reissue

Flaschenträger = bottle carrier

jimbooo! Das ist immer recht!

Hi Yoni and Jimboooooo

DANA YOU LEGEND

THE BOYS ARE DRIVING AND LOVING THE VIBES!

Let's hear it for the boys!

Can we get a request?? It’s my friends first time in priceton!

I need to gttg but I'll try and check in between bands a bit

Are you gonna play one of those new Dead Milkmen songs?

Nick, you can make a request but it depends on if I have time!

I got off to a bit of a poppy start but the show will get weirder

I heard some pirate radioo

Hi Dana and chat. It's nice weather for not backing the front

Hey Jim!

Yer

2 jims in da house

And there's our Steve

That talking on the phone reminded me of "Cookie Puss"

🎷 🎷 🎷

🎷 🎷 🎷🎷 🎷 🎷🎷 🎷 🎷

yooo crumb bumbos

Hi Dana! Been one helluva week, finally time to chill.....Thank Dog!

Alan! Good to "see" you! And you, Colin!

is this drum and bass-amaphone?

Yes? Maybe?

songs sick!

I sense a Devo track coming up somewhere in this show...

Hi Michael!

there was what i can only describe as a crazy amount of noise outside. i look out the back window there is a marching band to the right and fire works to left.

It's gonna be a Halloween hellraiser

Rise up, Cornwall

Dana: except as an Andorian

I'd go as an Andorian again except I broke my antennae!

I hate it when I break my antenna

Aw no. They were motorized too weren't they?

They weren't that fancy

...better than breaking an ankle

I've done that too!

Hmm. Was it you that was motorized?

information from internet; andorian antennae are sensitive sensory organs vital for balance. After losing an antenna, andorians are left disoriented and unstable.

Oh THAT explains it

..and walk eternally in tight circles..

also from the internet; Andorian antennae can regrow. The process can take up to nine months naturally but can be halved with medical intervention.

What about cable Andorians?

I'm a Doctor, not an Exobiologist damn it!

This is where they got Hanz and Franz on SNL "and now we dance"

lol!

while i was perusing the internet looking up cable andorians, i found myself down a rabbit hole learning about the 4 andorian genders and mating practices. friday crumb bum life yo

....closes all other tabs and focuses on this🎷

At one point I knew all the Andorian genders

This is too much

I only just found out that The Flirts was essentially all one guy: Bobby Orlando wrote the songs, played all the instruments and started a label to release the record. Very DIY. Too bad it didn't take off

(Von Lmo)

so far this entire show has had a very calming effect on my nerves.....ahhhhh!

ok last tid bit, with what i learned tonight. if i ever make easters eggs again they arer all gonna blue.

There's a joke in here somewhere about pink skins talking about Andorian genders but I'm too tired to find it. Long week...

All hail SHRAN

Enterprise was a mixed bag. The Andorian/Vulcan cold war was a highlight.

hey dana!

YES peeling

i like that dog pet song

I forgot about the Andorian genders, I remember the doctor phlox polycule though

like most trek series enterprise has moments i love and cringe. my entertainment bar is set pretty low so i can just look past the cringe and remember the good stuff.

One of my fave episodes was when Archer and this other pilot got in a fistfight at this bar, then later fly this experimental warp drive ship with the Vulcans being a real PITA during the process..

i don't even remember that episode! archer amr?

Enterprise was wild. It had some really amazing moments, and also had a ringing endorsement of torture right after the Guantanamo waterboarding stuff became known

Another Halloween song suggestion "Flesh and Steel" by The Flying Lizards. It has the sound of Norman Bates in the shower with a knife

Turned to steel in the great weirdo space warp field I never related to.

Oooh that's a good one, Marcus

Colin: it was a flashback thing about the development of the warp drive...

I'm going to be answering the door, handing out candy with DBTF playing in the background

i have always liked the song "the mummy" by bobmcfadden and dor since i was kid. i still listen every year

The Enterprise Trek was wild.

sounds like a great halloween marcus!

This is a lovely tune!

Was a lovely tune...

Colin: Looked it up, "First Flight" here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Flight_(Star_Trek:_Enterprise)

Wasn't "Goo Goo Muck" by The Gaylads the official Halloween song back in the day?

That and Dr. Demnto

Disappeared!

South America style! LOL

hello roff! jail house (bath tub acid) rock

She changed the lyrics "The Purple Gang" became "The Black Hand Gang"

I forget, does yellow make you a captain or like a first officer?

I'm just going to put putty on my jaw and be a Hapsburg for Halloween.

I guess it's technically gold (but it looks yellow). Since it's a TOS dress, that would be command. But from TNG on it's operations.

Yellow is definitely an officer

I am female Shatner

All sounds fair to me

i found a light up led bow tie. i'm gonna set it to orange and call it a costume.

the only place i venture to on halloween these days in my local pub. some of regulars go deep with their costumes.

I like cover shows when I can find them.

i would love to a spoof episode where when star fleet makes the change to officer red shirts and watch the mass resignation of officers for fear they were all gonna die on away missions.

What was the Jersey ingredient? Pork roll?

This has a Haircut 100 vibe

Eggs

There are two distinct pronunciations of "eggs" inside NJ

wow, right, Hallowen's coming so gonna look for candy corn at the market tomorrow....buy enough to last until Groundhog Day...

Awesome set Dana!

Thanks Roffle!

i have parmesan scrambled eggs couscous on the menu tomorrow morning, which state is that?

Candy corn...gotta get yr daily recommended allowance of wax

Now I'm hungry for breakfast

State of Leisure

Not candy corn though...not a fan!

marcus, ayeggs? is that on?

that's me, always with the health food..

Choices are a bitch...

Colin: you can say "eggs" or "exxs"

My new chickens lay powder blue eggs, but they're like half size

I think that's an America split, aigs vs ehggs

candy corn is an elaborate rouse.

andorian chickens?

They're pretty, but they have these weird "ears"

Your chickens do?

Yep, we have brown eggs, blue eggs, and splotchy turkey eggs

Andorian chicken ears, when prepared properly they taste like candy corn..

What is everyone's preferred egg preparation?

lol alan

i tend to make a cooked in an abundant amount of butter pan scramble most of the time. but i do love a runny yolk when paired with things to coat or absorb the yolk.

Over medium.

Add milk, scramble, and fry the hell out of it!

Crispy sunny side up, olive oil, cover with a lid

Salt pepper

Start with a French omelette, don't beat them too hard or use too many, but go a little American toward the end putting cheese in it instead of going all in with the herbs

French is the way.

i make boilers a bunch. cooked in salted water with a tiny pin hole in the base of each egg. this prevents the shell form sticking.

Colin: will pass that info on to a friend Thx!

Baked/poached in polenta, potatoes, rice, or heuvos

Bacon, eggs and cheese on a rool, runny yolks

I forgot about huevos rancheros!

Man that 'She Said Destroy' tune was wild. Hey who is that speaker in that PSA type thing. I always seem to hear it in between shows when the chat isn't up and there's nobody to ask. This is I think the first time I've heard it in the middle of a show. Who is that? I love that.

G Jax, did you mean the station ID?

Eggs, black beans, plantains, avocado!

Turning Point in Lawrenceville has awesone huevos rancheros

Chilaquiles so hot right now.

Y'all forgot about the huevos rancheros

Yes.

The station ID.

with hot sauce

It's a quote from Sun Ra. You can see the whole thing at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSzCyf1ZRuw

Migas are good too

Thank you SO MUCH

i really digged (dug?) that Self Improvement just after the last-last mic break

I'm with you in spirit as a sleep deprived creature of the night btw

So sleepy...

loving the show!

Hey Richard! Thank you!

You know now that I hear it 2 seconds in I realize - I ALREADY HAVE IT - it's on another computer somewhere from the early days of Napster. A real good guy I used to work with in the early 90s Oronde (RIP) turned me on to Sun Ra big time. Cool. Thanks for redirecting me Dana

Perfect!

Truthfully I should have know that without asking..

Was that Oronde who used to work at Fluid Nightclub?

The very same Oronde. Good guy

fluid nightclub 😍

This has a little Macula Dog sound to it.

I never was at Fluid. I knew him before that

Only knew him from working the door but I could tell he was a good dude. Always felt safe at that club. Gone way too soon.

Indeed he was

i only interacted with oronde at the door, but he contributed to what made that club so good.

I miss Fluid!

Yeah, me and Oronde just hit it off.

one night dj tb was playing a bunch of stuff that dj cosmo used to have in heavy rotation on his house music night. i was tripping hard down memory lane.

we worked at a printing place like in a warehouse and we are totally different backgrounds, but we're both way into music like I was this long haired heavy metal kid and he was just dreadlocked hip-hop guy and we just love talking music. He was just such a good guy.

That's so lovely.

I think, but I'm not sure by the time he was working at fluid he had gotten rid of the dreads. And also lost a lot of weight. He was a huge mountain of a guy when I first knew him.

He was definitely still a big dude with dreads!

these last 4/5 have been realllll nice

the dreds were there for me. 96, 97ish. i love that we are remembering and talking about oronde.

I'm so glad you guys knew him. It just makes my heart feel good.

I was originally going to play this Copiers track but it's nine minutes just the word ANXIETY repeated over and over again and I thought I might get a panic attack if I played the whole thing https://copiers1.bandcamp.com/album/drama-anxiety

No Wave

have faith in your choice. it is always a good thing to trust ones own warning signs. but thanks for the link! sounds like a great bed time lullaby?
