Music

With DJ Mackerel

music to match the astrological events of the week, more or less. sometimes more, sometimes less.

usually of the weird electronica, lush jazz, girlpower r&b, alternative hiphop, chronically online hyperpop, and alt-country indie folk persuasions. and classical if it's a full moon and i'm feeling dramatic. thanks for swimmin with me!

SHIBUYA KEI BABYY

happy new year to all fishkind!!!! <3

we're still in the thick of capricorn season...stellium no less. we got some interesting cazimi events happening :0 we're playing shibuya kei and early 2000s j-pop to shake things up. things are on the uppppppp!

on air till EIGHT PM!! on sub duty. so extra extra mackerel today!

ayyyyy dj mackerel!

hi mike!

hows it goin happy new year

I remember my high school typing teacher. Mrs. Mchugh. Super nice older lady. FFF space JJJ Nancy Quigly was typing 60 WPM in 8th grade. 'The Quigs' we called her.

She also had a cadence in her instructions. One time there was a substitute teacher. That felt like Simon Says... Type F srry, simon didnt say.

hey hey dj mackerel, mike, lester! I also remember my typing class in 8th grade. Turns out it was one of the most useful classes ;)

yess lowkey loved typing class, so glad i had access to that

We had Olivetti machines in the classroom. I just liked pushing down the space bar. clack clack clack clack etc.

I was just in the mood for some shibuyakei recently, lo and behold!

ayy twin🤞

gonna watch better call saul at the same time with the show in the bg. gonna be an unreal experience lol

ooo i was hearing about that show recently, is it good?

fantastic song picks so far... it's my first time tuning in to this station hehe hello from fillydelphia x__x <3

just ran back season 1 sopranos these last 3 days, it's been glorious! i feel like i had a typing class but im not quite remembering exactly where it was or if im making mems up in my head

we had 1 pc in 5th grade that was an oregon trail waiting lobby as far as i can remember

Who needs TV when we have this surreal news cycle? OTOH, a copy of of 'Weird Scenes inside the Canyon' was delivered by Amazon y'day.

welcome ari :D thanks for tunin in

Hey Michael!

@DJ I love BCS, it's my first rewatch actually! It's much different now knowing all of the context of what happens of course.

@ Mike G Sopranos may be next on my watchlist

BCS is possibly one of the two best shows of the last decade, along with The Americans. Sopranos is up there too

mm gotta add all those to my list! esp sopranos lol i feel like i cant call myself a new jerseyan without having watched that

true

Bada bing really swings when the moon is full.

Which reminds me of something. There was a DJ, Jackie I believe. This guy would control the entire room with his selections. It was quite remarkable.

art of the dj!

speaking of, @dj mackerel these japanese tracks are great.

thank u:)

the days are getting longer

'Natal Chart' Is stargazing similar naval gazing? Moon in Gemini. I csn't help it

Hmmm ... I remember when wprb had science shows that actually dealt with real science.

Is an astrology show a reflection of the current anti-scientific mindset growing in our country?

what?! astrology isn't real science?!!

I was let down by Jean Dixon too many times

And don't even start me on that guy Omar

The arrogance of science, v actual spiritual exploration, will be like a battle between Popeye and Olive oil

Nothing wrong with spiritual exploration

Horses aren't real

Popeye = science?

Exactly!

Bike R: relatively speaking in this case

I was blinded by science. Once. I saw an astrologist. Now I see

Popeye to Olive Oyl- "do you like the moon, olive? Because that's where you're gonna be!"

I once was blind but now can see. Except for these dark galsses I wear.

Oh Popeye!

we channel the Jackie Gleason Character To the Moon, and Mars.

I wear my sunglasses at night.

80's pop songs are metaphors for everything it seems

G Jax really! I think I saw you the other day

Where are your car keys? text me your wifes IM

The future's so bright I gotta wear shades... see

interesting G jax. We will reach the Stars. Stargazy is showing the way.

Yeah I thought that was you Sean. Sorry J couldn't say hi

I figured you just couldn't see me since you had the shades on and it was night and all so I didn't say anything

Don't be short on a Tuesday. lulz. Unless you fully underatns the stars. And the undergog.

Lester, me too

❤️ this frickin' show 🌟

<333

Every financial trading vehicle is green right now. Jen- I think financial markets follow moon phases. But this market is inverted.
