good morrrrning, happy new year!
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 7:44:10 AM
Good morning and happy new year to everyone!
Commie Francis (1) (host) 7:46:10 AM
morning rob! any new year's day birding on the agenda?
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 7:49:18 AM
Morning Commie! No birding this morning because we're going to visit my mother-in-law. Which is just as well given the wind and the cold
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 7:50:32 AM
Having said that, American Crow is our first bird species of the year, as it usually is ... it's loud and it's near the house, so we don't have to see it outside
Commie Francis (1) (host) 7:51:06 AM
that's a quality bird to start off the year!
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 7:52:22 AM
Oh, it is! ;-)
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 7:53:05 AM
Are you taking requests?
Commie Francis (1) (host) 7:54:16 AM
yep!
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 7:55:50 AM
Could you play "Oh!" by The Linda Lindas off their first album "Growing Up"?
Commie Francis (1) (host) 7:56:46 AM
yes!
Commie Francis (1) (host) 7:57:25 AM
actually had that one in my songbag (tm already
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 8:06:07 AM
Woohoo thank you!!
Commie Francis (1) (host) 8:06:23 AM
probably my favorite song of theirs!
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 8:07:14 AM
I concur
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 8:10:42 AM
This is not a request! Just throwing this out for ... nerdiness. After I thought of The Linda Lindas, I remembered the Paul McCartney song "Oh Woman Oh Why", the B side to his 1971 song "Another Day". It's safely in the basement, unplayed for decades.
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 8:43:45 AM
I just remembered some lyrics to that song. Please don't play it if your nephews & nieces are listening
Commie Francis (1) (host) 8:44:23 AM
oh there's some oh's in here
Commie Francis (1) (host) 8:44:27 AM
haha ok i won't
Commie Francis (1) (host) 8:45:01 AM
i have oh jim by lou reed and probably won't play that either for the same reason
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 8:50:02 AM
I just found the lyrics to the Lou Reed song on Genius, definitely a good move!
Commie Francis (1) (host) 8:51:34 AM
tove really pays attention to lyrics and keeps asking me questions about his absolute favorite song which is "it's rainy" by irma thomas. well either that or "oh susanna"
Steven Rustle 8:53:01 AM
Hi Commie - enjoying the show! I usually listen to archives as I'm not a night person so it's great to hear your show in real-time.
Steven Rustle 8:53:06 AM
Do you have "O Dana" (Big Star) lined up? First Oh song that came to mind.
Commie Francis (1) (host) 8:55:32 AM
hey glad to have you here steven! i'll play that! and try to be better about posting archives D:
John Coffey 9:00:04 AM
“Oh” I get in now! Starting my first cup coffee!
Commie Francis (1) (host) 9:01:33 AM
oh good morning!
Roffle 0x7EA 9:02:45 AM
Good morning! Is it 2027 yet?
Commie Francis (1) (host) 9:03:30 AM
hopefully soon
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 9:04:08 AM
Roffle, maybe in New Zealand? They are ahead of the game!
Roffle 0x7EA 9:06:02 AM
Oh God.... Well, please keep us posted. :) I'm going back to bed then I suppose.
Commie Francis (1) (host) 9:06:27 AM
this next song is pretty long so maybe after that it will be 2027

Greene machine
Roffle 0x7EA 9:09:01 AM
Greene time machine?
Roffle 0x7EA 9:13:13 AM
And it snowed? Oh here we fucking go. I'm am seriously headed for the coffee now. I gotta read the omens.
Steven Rustle 9:13:21 AM
Thanks! By the way, I'm not THAT far west in PA. Closer to Bruce Haack's old stomping grounds actually...

Commie Francis (1) (host) 9:15:50 AM
oh! i dunno why i thought you were westerner
Roffle 0x7EA 9:18:37 AM
Is it called soda or pop Steve? That's the midwest qualifier.
John Coffey 9:19:10 AM
I do believe they call it “pop” in Pittsburgh.
Commie Francis (1) (host) 9:19:57 AM
definitely do
Roffle 0x7EA 9:20:41 AM
Something weird happens to words out past the Allegheny Mountains.
Roffle 0x7EA 9:27:15 AM
I think I'm ready for a best of 2026, at that other end of the year show. Slim pickin', but you beat the que by a mile.
Commie Francis (1) (host) 9:28:22 AM
i've definitely got a couple of best of 2026 already, things getting prereleased on bandcamp helps with that
Roffle 0x7EA 9:28:59 AM
You should be doing my 401K
Roffle 0x7EA 9:48:15 AM
Loved hearing the Mo-dettes last night, something about that song. My friend grabbed that album out of a cutoff bin in the Moorestown Mall a million years ago. Great cover of Paint it Black on there too.
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 9:55:45 AM
Ty for the show and happy new year, Commie
Rob from Merry Maryland 🦀 🎄 9:56:01 AM
And happy new year to everybody!
Roffle 0x7EA 9:58:29 AM
Thanks Commie! I think you've put in the hours this week to qualify as having your own marathon in acts. lol
Commie Francis (1) (host) 9:58:57 AM
this always happens during winter break, i thought it wasn't this year but it just filled in naturally
Commie Francis (1) (host) 10:00:09 AM
thanks for listening everyone!
