📻🎶

Posion Girls! Rad. has that DK/Flipper vibe

*Poison I can spel

one of my favorite bands of all time. and my favorite song of theirs

tis a good one

Stone faced like shiny alabaster

Heya Commie & all

SUP

hi tandy!

marcus what are you referring to, that sounds so familiar

Hello Commie! That's from "Michael" by the band Pony

Brooklyn, NYC

ohhh i played that a couple of months back. and it was on heavy rotation when i was listening to wnyu in the mid 90s

back in your life! that's the album

Jonathan Richman 🖤

Evenin' Commie F!

hiya bo! and richard!

hi Commie and chat!

But who turns on the lights?

10x my age, 1/10th my height! In Piccadilly Manchester!

It's a hand on the shoulder in Leicester Square

What did cities do to piss off The Fall?

Hi al in chat!

The Fall was one of the answers in the NY Times Connections puzzle today. I about fell off my chair.

*all*

welcome to old, chris!

I shrimply luv the Moomin graphic by the way :)

What was the question, Chris?

What is the most played band in the history of WPRB?

i love moomins, tandy! i went up to brooklyn to see the tove jansson exhibit at the library a little while back

haha marcus, i mean that works

THERE'S AN EXHIBIT?? How long will it be around?

4 British bands that formed in the 1970s with "The"

it's over unfortunately. we went righrt at the end, end of september

That's two new york exclusives I missed this year. Such is life! I missed the Glengarry Glen Ross on Broadway run this past year too.

Did you read about the Moomin movie plans?

"Who is Hüsker Dü?" was a Jeopardy question several years ago.

i heard vague things jon! the moomins IP at times has not been well handled, i hope this one is good!

also since you're here, are you playing that questionable christmas song i mentioned the other day in the marathon? cause i'm gonna play it today if you're not

"Moomins are coming to life as an animated feature film, written and directed by Rebecca Sugar. The film, to be created by media company Annapurna, will be the first Moomin film produced in the United States."

I love that song but feel free to play!

i know you like it, it's just marginally christmasy

Heya Jon!

I think Rebecca Sugar will handle the Moomins with the love they deserve, she's a really good storyteller.

anyway it's christmas, you can play it too if you want!

A mashup of childhood and my kid's. I loved Moomins, he loves Steven Universe

Yoyoyoyoyoyodelly-0

YEOOOOOO

holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Commmmmmieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

@Jon, my fall drive swag came in the mail today, TYVM! (Not to be confused with The Fall swag.)

Ahh I'll have to keep an eye out for mine!

Evening all!

Hi Rob!

Hi Ambrose!

Chris, that's great news! Hopefully everyone's packages ship before the holidays...

Saw Railroad Jerk open for Cop Shoot Cop... Matador showcase. Good stuff!

Hopefully it doesn't get lost or stolen this time around... I forgot if I changed the shipping address from last time or not.

I've done readies thing! Highly recommend!

I can tell stories all day about listening to the radio. I could hear them all night, too!

@Commie did that just happen, The Smiths sliver of a song bled in?

hm i don't think so? i did cue up spoiler alert an orange juice record but i can't see how you would have heard it

Hmm ....gremlins and goblins at play

don't think this could be mistaken for the smiths

Did someone say goblins?

A ...nope!

hobgoblins perhaps?

The can of energy drink in the break room calling my name like the green goblin rn

Get dat goblin draaaank

Well goodnight yall. The pot beckons, I have mashed potatoes going tonight. Someone suggested seasoning the water then re-introducing some of it along with the milk at the end. Never going back

oh yeah i do that totally in place of milk

being vegan. my omni family requests that i make the mashed potatoes every mashed potato occasion

@Tyler B, add some grass fed butter and fresh chopped scallions and your ion business!🍀

elastica deep cuts!

goblin drank time

the beer i was drinking at my local pub was called goblin gold tonight

Splash of vinegar, smashed garlic, yogurt, and parsley in my mashers

goblin gooooaaaaallld ⚽

lectric potatoes are safe for goblins

potatoes are lectric! remeber those potatoe clocks?

Half past a tater

You tricked me with an Xray specs song!

Hob Goblin Ale from Blighty was damn good quench!

I think Elastica also ripped off a Stranglers song ? With "waking up and down"

after a quick and extensive minutes long investigation of the internet, patrick martin may be a fake punk who believes he is a real punk

The video for "'Lectric Motors" is awesome

It's Jesse Camp from MTV

I agree the shakti record is great

I also love the Dalek and Charles Hayward double lp

Fonky

Cocanha SO good

metal urbain 🖤

goofy goth band name: batboner

🦇

amazing

BATBONER!!!!

now i'm gonna get all giggly when i see a bat.

going on decades now and i still love to hear tracks off gi

Thanks for the show, Commie!! Have a great holiday, and take care!
