Good evening my friends

Smeghead Friends! Hi Dana!!!! Here we gooooooooooooo!!!

Smoke me a kipper!

..made it through this crazy week...

You survived!

Hello Dana and all the Non-Front Backers

Hello Marcus!

Hi Marcus! Dana starting up with some Grrreat Vibessss...

ayy dana K ! quick week feel like your last set was yesterday

I feel similarly, Michael

hello dana k & friends

Hey Andrew!

Herrrrroooooo 🐸

jimbooooo!

Hi Andrew, hi Jimbo!

howdy Dana K and crew!

Hey Richard!

west coast Lyons in de haus!

Hi good peeps 🐥🐥🐥

My ma, retired nurse, always recommends massaging the injection site

Rubbing my arm right now...

It's SO sore

Dana: Did you get the Pfizer or Moderna???

I'm not sure, I didn't ask!

I can't even remember which number jab this is for me.

Dana: Hopefully the music vibes will help..

Robots don't need shots!

Or holograms...

Dana: For Halloween you could go as a female Kryten, but Why would you ever want to look like that??

crushin it early and often dana k!

for Sure!!

I'd go as Rimmer, just need to pop an H on my forehead

LOL ez one!

..that would be a cool thing to put on a dog's head if you had a pet for Halloween dog walk..

Hi there Dana K! without a doubt my fave Halloween song is The Sinistrer Exsagerator by The Residents. I have no idea what it's about. just a creepy vibe!

That IS proper creepy!

another suggestion for Halloween: Gravediggaz "Diary of a Madman (clean version)" from the Horrorcore underground hip-hop scene of the early 90's

Yes! Great!

Dr. Heckyll & Mr. Jive by Men at Work? or too mainstream??

Another whack obscure Halloween song is Barnacle Bill The Sailor by Kembra Phaler. The song is an old Sea Shanty song that goes back 100 years even covered by Betty Boop. Thank you the late Hal Willner for making this happen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZRZ9bGhJZc

Yes!

Robert Johnson - "Me and the Devil Blues"

From Betty's canine phase in 1930: https://youtube.com/watch?v=6mSp3qi0LHA

it's an instrumental, but has nightmare by artie shaw come across your desk?

Oh, I don't know that one!

this song goes BOMP

also, sorta left field i listened to the new duran duran song 3x this week. it's call shadows on your side, spooky? maybe.

Hi all! Jimbo if you can't handle me at my BLOMP you don't deserve me at my BOMP

Yahhhh jim 💥💥💥

We got the first three Duran Duran records in at the record store and I listened to all of them but I have yet to hear the new one!

diabolical beat

Hi Lucy!!

hi dana ! :)

Evening all

Hi Rob!

Dana Dane - "Nightmares"

Sancho - "Chase Vampire"

uncle al on the remix!! 😎

This is like the rap on "West End Girls" which came out in 85

We've got no future, we've got no past

so many great tracks i've never heard before tonight!

i don't want to turn on my heat yet so i've been dancing to keep warm!

It's toasty at the Barge!

🤩 this is a good one!!!

comps are life

I have more synth comps than I really know what to do with

I’ve been digging the show! Teach me how to Dugite, teach me teach me how to Dugite

lol thanks George!!

comp only show!

Another Hallowen song: Al Bowlly "Midnight the Stars and You"

It's the ghost's theme in "The Shining"

“Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Yes!! Good choices!

hmmmm, another automatic song that me checking the compy to see who dis? 🤔

Automatic is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hell yeah

Did the cops kick you out of the show, Yoni?

Just the punk police not the actual PPD

“The Blob” by the Five Blobs (1958)

Moshing too hard

🚔 🥾

You know how it is

Dang, automatic back at it

I've been lurking since about 8:30 and just want to affirm: Good show, Dana K.! The Factory Floor track was quite something.

this is real nice

🏄‍♂️

Thanks, Chris!

"The Munsters' Theme" by Jack Marshall...LOL!

munsters theme would have me up out my chair dancin 100

Hey, is The Fall's "Spectre vs. Rector" on the Halloween show play list?

That's a good one!
