Surprise...it's commmmmmieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i'm almost as surprised as anyone else!

yooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I hear that

Hey Commie

hiya roffle!

wow never heard that version, she messed up the last verse or did she write it inthe firs place?

she wrote it, this is the demo for the monkees. well she wrote the music and gerry goffin wrote the lyrics

Hi Commie Roffle jimbooooo

Love The Flatmates!!

so i think they just reworked that verse

So Carol King Stole that tune from the Beatles. Wait till I tell Paul.

I am loving the flatmates

I love her demo best, and I am so glad you play it. It's beyond iconic to me.

Giffrin was married to King. Huh. What were there actual names?

their

I have been clicked in all day. Happy to have you in my digiteria. I hope you have a great show.

. Born Carol Joan Klein on February 9, 1942, in Manhattan, New York City (and raised in Brooklyn), she came from a Jewish family—her father, Sidney Klein, was a firefighter, and her mother, Eugenia, was a teacher who encouraged her early love of music.

Well thats Cool I am the biggest fan ever of these people.

but what the AF

Nice. Friday night drive home has been rocking last couple weeks. Tonight's another good'n

I thought this was another 80s track, it's 26!

Carol King had some JAP chops. lol

etwas auf Deutsch?

Carol King wrote the first groupie song. Years before Mick and Keith wrote sta

Star Fucker, Carol write Star Collector

She was prolific

yep for davy jones to sing

Man, I love the Monkees

Whoa you’re on before me!

Boyce and Heart cashed the checks too.

yes hello! they needed someone who could do their show remotely

were you gonna play that station model violence song

I actually was considering it but I’m doing another special show tonight so I don’t think there’ll be too much crossover!

I’m at work now but excited to listen during my drive

this commie sandwich is pretty awesome already

psyched for dana k special!

loving the chills too...

RIP martin phillipps

This works so well after The Chills.

def a consistent vibe

unusual for me haha

you do fantastic radio, ms. francis

why thank you!

crumb crisp coating

Hey that was great Station ID.

Is that new? Or is that no one that just hasn't been played in a while?

it's very old, just not played for a while i guess!

I like it.

it's a classic!

Could it be Mark Robinson????

Yes Commie, Philly is dark, cold, and the streets of West Philly are crowded with impatient commuters heading home to DELCO. Not a good time for a bike ride.

mark robinson would be too obvious!

i'll reveal when the song is over

actually i'll give a hint

Mark Robinson would indeed be too obvious. But, it is early in the Teen Beat story, so I figured it might be him.

hint: his name is aaron freeman but that's not the name he uses in his better known band

I had investigated and found the answer before you said Mark Robinson would be too obvious

oh great not again

Yup, silence

Funky Drummer, Teenbeat #103.3

That’s my jam woo

Ugh, no radio. I guess it's off to see the Evening New (not SeeBS) and see what TFG has done.

should be back momentarily

Protest music from the board.

Not getting audio but confirmed you are connected. Is your internet OK

yeah it is, i'm not sure what's up, i got audio back on my end

i'm gonna try reconnecting

Don't cut the blue wire!

i think i got it now, either that or the whole building blows up

You're back

go, Commie, go!

I came back at the right moment.

HURRAY!!!!

duct tape, wrench, and baling wire. Or barbed wire, since these are punks here.

Yay you're back Commie! @Jen Redlights, I took the opportunity to play DOA's "General Strike"
