Any year that isn’t 1983 is a lie

'39 was a bitch..

Looking forward to all the nu-metal tonight!

Stefan Scherbik
8:17:30 PM
Yo, glad I'm catching this. Noticed it was on at a perfect time where I need tunes to accompany creative effort.
Dana K (host)
8:18:01 PM
STEFAAAAAN!
Dana K (host)

So glad you're listening!
Alan Parsec Project

Alan Parsec Project

(Although some of us are over caffeinated)
Dana K (host)
8:19:51 PM
I'm in the process of being caffeinated
Alan Parsec Project
8:20:12 PM
Starter Fluid!
Stefan Scherbik
8:20:34 PM
If libations are "social lubricant", then caffeine is creative lubricant.
Dana K (host)
8:21:03 PM
I needed coffee after spending most of 2026 so far in bed
Alan Parsec Project
8:21:35 PM
Personally I prefer Pennzoil...
Stefan Scherbik
8:23:50 PM
If I could make a rec for 2000s tunes, that would be Natural Frost by Welcome from the album Sirs.
Dana K (host)
8:26:05 PM
Hell yeah
Stefan Scherbik
8:32:41 PM
This one's nice. Though looks like it's hard to find info on Internet Forever.

This I love. I'm such a 2000s rock fan (but not until the 2010s did I become such a thing).
Aniqa Raihan
8:39:10 PM
we're stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on I-95 and you're the only thing keeping us going. we want to know though, how old are you?
Dana K (host)
8:39:27 PM
I'm turning 36 in three weeks!
Dana K (host)
8:39:35 PM
And thank you for listening - nuts to the traffic!
Scooter France
8:39:41 PM
I kinda remember 2000-2010 kinda fondly because I got my first salaried job in 2000 so my record buying exploded and my musical taste expanded a lot, kind of from moving to Boston and going to Twisted Village (RIP) records in Cambridge all the time.
Alan Parsec Project
8:40:31 PM
Dana: so for five years worth of playing tunes, I'd say around that comes to around 11,700 tracks ?????
Chris Barany
8:42:20 PM
You're damn right it's a Friday night. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else atm.
Dana K (host)
8:43:13 PM
Hi Chris B! And Scooter!
Aniqa Raihan
8:44:42 PM

Marcus Haupt
9:17:23 PM
My favorite 2000’s song can’t be played on polite radio - too much cursing: “lotus” by FM Belfast (2008)

Stefan Scherbik
9:31:54 PM
I actually royally fucked my ears seeing Protomartyr a few weeks ago because I forgot my plugs and the venue didn't have any.
Dana K (host)
9:33:47 PM
I try to always have some foam earplugs on deck. I should get one of those little cases that attaches to your keyring.
