Hey TAndy!
Commie Francis (1) (host) 12:22:48 PM
hi tAndy and liz!!
Liz Bot 12:23:40 PM
The Blue Hearts song reminds me of a great Japanese movie I saw named after a Blue Hearts song, Linda Linda Linda. These high school girls form a Blue Hearts cover band
Commie Francis (1) (host) 12:24:29 PM
i think i remember you telling me about that, when i did a show of fake/fictional punk and i think you or i managed to track down the version of that song from the soundtrack
Commie Francis (1) (host) 12:24:40 PM
i need to watch that!
Liz Bot 12:25:01 PM
(Not to be confused with the band The Linda Lindas!) this movie is from 2005. I loved it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Linda_Linda
Commie Francis (1) (host) 12:25:13 PM
blue hearts are huge in japan i think
Liz Bot 12:26:39 PM
@Commie Francis - I have the track of the girls playing Linda Linda from the film. It’s so good! Played it a few times on PRB. I think yeah I mentioned it when you asked for suggestions for the fictional punk songs show
Liz Bot 12:28:22 PM
Some of the girls went on to form their own bands IRL after the film. Baseball Bear, me-ism, etc
Robin 12:40:52 PM
Happy Sunday! <3'ing the show so far. Thanks for subbing for me today Commie
Commie Francis (1) (host) 12:45:32 PM

TAndy 1:03:25 PM

Commie Francis (1) (host) 1:03:35 PM

Commie Francis (1) (host) 1:03:52 PM

Brian D 1:03:57 PM

TAndy 1:04:49 PM
Yeah! I don't think I ever heard that ID before, unless I missed it from his show
Commie Francis (1) (host) 1:07:26 PM
i keep meaning to ask him where he found that audio
TAndy 1:08:00 PM
Wait noooo I did hear it before! Way back when he was on Tuesday afternoons I think, 2021.
Commie Francis (1) (host) 1:29:56 PM
i hope everyone just enjoyed my hot mic sigh
jrlp 1:46:51 PM

Bryan Swirsky 1:52:54 PM
hi commie! pleasure to meet you. I just discovered the joys of this station this week. I listened to the 25 hour xmass show and it's not been turned off in four days. nice to hear real radio again!
Bryan Swirsky 1:59:14 PM
Morgan Fischer from Mott. a true weirdo. btw there are at least three other Adrian Borland related projects you should check out: The Crazies. Second Layer. the Outsiders. All great and weird
Commie Francis (1) (host) 2:00:51 PM
i do love mott the hoople but i don't know much about fischer in particular!
Commie Francis (1) (host) 2:02:32 PM
i have a lot of nostalgia for recording that portlandia station id. i came up with the idea and pax and i recorded it while waiting for phones to ring during one of the last wprb membership drives to involve phones. 2018 or 2019
Bryan Swirsky 2:04:02 PM
Morgan Fisher joined in 74 and stayed until around 1980. he had some projects going that were hawkwind adjacent. still active and still left of center.
Commie Francis (1) (host) 2:04:55 PM
nice! and glad to have you on board, jon's christmas marathon is a great intro to the culture and history of wprb
Bryan Swirsky 2:14:45 PM

Commie Francis (1) (host) 2:15:59 PM
tres and kitsy obvs
Bryan Swirsky 2:19:23 PM
duly noted.
Commie Francis (1) (host) 2:30:41 PM
i was thinking about playing something by them for you but i can't remember what has swears in it.
Commie Francis (1) (host) 2:34:17 PM
i am still really not sure if this is a gang of four cover or a gang of four ripoff
TAndy 2:41:56 PM
Ooh!! I can't wait for the NYE show
John Coffey 2:43:40 PM
I was thinking it was a Gang of Four cover when I heard it live. But now it's a ripoff!
Commie Francis (1) (host) 2:46:44 PM
right??
Commie Francis (1) (host) 2:48:28 PM
and me neither tandy!
Jon Solomon 2:50:24 PM
