Not quite yet. I've got two next week, filling in for DJ Hog on Wednesday 8-11pm, and my regular show. And then that's it for a while!

The album states "This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Music Australia." WHY CAN'T THE US HAVE THAT?

Instead we get the Trump Kennedy Center.

What up Dana K, West Philly in the house! Finally officially met Yoni, but I think I met him at Satellite a few years ago.
John Coffey
8:12:56 PM
What up @Yoni!
Dana K (host)
8:12:57 PM
Hey John! That's where you'll typically find Yoni, it's true

Tubs' Cotton Crown album was a highlight of '25. What a solid LP.

I'm so mad I missed them when they were here.
Jason Rose

Hola Dana & gang! I arrived too late to hear Added Dimensions. That one was maybe my personal fave for the year.
Dana K (host)
8:16:41 PM
Hi Jason! And I saw you at that show!
Chris Barany
8:17:01 PM
@dana listen to their live set on that other great freeform station based in NJ. Drummer Taylor Stewart's on-stage banter is absolutely hilarious. He goes off at every show.
Dana K (host)
8:17:39 PM
I will check that out! I'm sad Trouble in Mind is no longer continuing, but they went out on a high note!
Stefan Scherbik
8:22:38 PM
Reminds of The Shaggs, but on beat.

Yes! We saw each other at that show, Dana. It was killer lineup that night: Mesh, Webb Chapel, and AD!
Dana K (host)
8:28:23 PM
looking forward to a Mesh LP in 2026!
sorry it's andrew
8:28:33 PM

A band I like, Open Head, made an album in 2025, but I didn't especially like it.
Dana K (host)
8:39:25 PM
I liked that Open Head record!
Stefan Scherbik
8:39:53 PM
Maybe I need to lend it another listen.

Thanks John! That's what I'm here for!
Jason Rose
9:17:00 PM
Oh yeah, Eraser. Another fine one from 2025!

I saw Empath in Philly in 2025. Got early access to their new album that isn't released. One of my favorite bands ever, Philly or not.
Dana K (host)
9:41:06 PM
Ooh I forgot Empath was still around
C Monster
9:42:07 PM
this show is a positive 2026 moment. small victories till we get the win.
Stefan Scherbik
9:42:56 PM
They weren't but now they are! New album should be out soon.
Dana K (host)
9:43:08 PM
I'm glad I get to remind people of the things that aren't awful!
C Monster
9:45:21 PM
i'm curious about this empath, i got their bandcamp open for later.
Stefan Scherbik
9:48:44 PM
Active Listening: Night on Earth is their best album.

This reminds me of Philly's own (defunct) Bad Doctors
Jim Otter
10:17:45 PM
Just this one little particular vocal part really
C Monster
10:25:40 PM
love this song title. i recently had a moment at work where i tried to move a 90 year xylophone and well lets say, the sudden art of falling apart, happened.
Dana K (host)
10:28:58 PM
RIP xylophone, we hardly knew ye
C Monster
10:30:24 PM
even those the 90 year completely disintegrated. it was reassembled and sold to a collector. i even came clean about the falling apart.
Jim Otter
10:34:38 PM
xylophones can fall apart a little bit, sometimes, as a treat
yoni from kdu
10:37:27 PM
Imagine a world where we could actually go see this band live
Rob from Maryland 🦀
10:37:46 PM
Prolapse!
yoni from kdu
10:37:57 PM
Also: whoa. Bad Doctors reference in the chat. Such a fantastic band.
Jim Otter
10:40:50 PM
@yoni their opening spot for Zero Boys was well deserved!
Scooter France
10:41:15 PM
I love Prolapse, but I totally didn't even know they released a new album this year til it started popping up on year end best of lists. This song sounds great!
Jim Otter
10:42:33 PM
This band is great and their name is so unfitting in a great way. We used to use a knockoff part from a company called ProLabs at work and I made endless prolapse jokes
yoni from kdu
10:42:35 PM
I went to see the Milkmen that night instead of Zero Boys, for better or worse
C Monster
10:48:41 PM
that shakin song was fantastic!
