Transistor Sister #242 BIG ANGRY SISTER

my parents listen to my show and have good taste in music, but they don't like really aggressive harsh sounds in their delicate boomer ears. so i often let them know if my show is going to be parent-friendly or not. well this show is NOT parent friendly. i was already setting out to do a hardcore punk heavy show and the news of the day has only made me more aggro so here we go.

10:59 PM		Chumbawamba The Day the Nazi Died Uneasy Listening why did they all come out of the woodwork on the day they started ICE

Chat is archived.

Not parent friendly... Hmmm

Not sure what to do now.

Fuck ICE and fuck every ghoul in power allowing this shit to happen.

💕

Hey commie 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

TAndy, I could not agree more!

Building gallows for ICE at the city limits appeals to my reactionary self for killing Americans.

Thank you Commie for your opening thoughts. I'm done forever with MAGA cult and no need to ever be friends with any of them anymore. Now please play some angry music.

I'm tempted to reactivate my Facebook just to air out my thoughts and filter any shithead who disagrees. Sorry, I enjoy not having my fellow citizens accosted and murdered by a fake police force full of maniacs.

But the type of people still okay with that are beyond saving.

Highly profitable racist terror

@TAndy Been doing that for a few years.

Exactly TAndy, if they are still wearing those red hats, I pity them if I see them.

I deactivated my account over a year ago. As much as I love some of the groups and pages I followed, I got tired of the algorithm pushing crap on my feed.

I miss my Seinfeld and King of the Hill groups :(

it's gotten even worse

I swore off FakeBook years ago. I still have the account, but I just rarely go there.

Instagram is my preferred tool of brainrot. At least there I can curate my FYP to show the most nonsense reels possible lol

@Roffle I think it's just a small cult that wear the MAGA hats. My boat is on Eastern Shore of MD, lots of Trump signs and anti Biden stuff but I never see the red hats. Of course me being 66yo white guy they often say the quiet part out loud. I just listen, keep your friends close, enemies closer.

Anti-Regimen was 🔥🔥🔥

I saw Slant in New Brunswick's Cinco de Mayo restaurant. Smallest punk venue I've ever seen!

Same here John. I used to travel a lot, and I learned this country pretty okay. If others in their realm are talking, let them talk, but take notes.

Yep.

Flipppppppper

ever look at a flower and hate it???

I checked this out digitally from my library, and blasting it my car made me feel like I was 16 again

I haven't heard Flipper's WPRB station ID in decades.

Flipper is on Hoopla!

i don't know if we have access to that ID david, i've never seen it!

Fuckin flowers

"It's simple like a flower, and that's a complicated thing." - Love and Rockets

Sometimes I just wanna punch a flower

Makes me wonder if I ever have jimbooooo, I was unknowingly cruel as a child.

I won't step on a bug now....lol

I was an episodic vandal, but always respected nature

Lanternflys excluded.

You all know I'm a plant &bug geek

What are your Latin pronouns?

Monarda

(bee balm)

born dead icons randomly reminding me of some 90s chris thompson project there

like las mordidas or something

Hi DJ CF!! Tuning in late, so sorry to miss to Flïpper 🐬🐬🐬

I named my son after a star jimbooooo, respect! Good pronoun

I probably have Flipper's ID on a cassette tape somewhere...

I'm a rhizomous beneficiary to pollinators

In the nose

Proletariat was scorchingggggg🔥🔥🔥

Lets burn it down, and when we run out of matches, we will make more matches. The bear has been poked!

My history geek thing makes me want to move to Batsto NJ and make cannons for the Revolution like they did in the 1700's.

sounds like a plan

we created it, take it over, we started it, start another, we painted it, change the color

Make it real, own it now or lose it. It's real now.

Hello all, it is a new world

And they won't take a refund Rob. I'm pissed.

I wandered away, so sadly missed Flipper

Roffle, I'm pissed too

I heart Batsto...hiking in the soft sand amongst the pines

We should start an album of the month club for resistance fighters.

Batsto is a gem. I found such cool square nails and shit there as a kid.

The storm is temporary, the storm-troopers are not if we don't act.

I am really, really pissed off at shit tonight, and I don't want this. I am so sorry to go off so.

i completely understand.

I usually deal with feeling nutzo quite well. Thanks Commie.

Thank you for this commie, helps processing

Frigid evening Commy+

Commy!

evening ossy!

Walk around the block and see. Good neighbors do that. So do the Karen's, but so it goes. You will know them by their stupidity anyway.

i very much appreciate your words of community building

as well as this show!

loved the berris song too!

oops on air sneeze

welcome colin, glad to be of service.

i moved two and half years ago, but at my old spot. i always shoveled the eldery lady's driveway across the street. for years she never knew who was doing it.

nights like tonight, i hope somebody has picked up the baton

bompbompbomp bompin them damn flowers

I wish you were my neighbor C Mon. LOL

This track is outrageousss

i do love that spit kink album.

skipping seasons already? had enough of this year huh?

Buffalo kids these days

Polish is the language that my parents chose for me to not under.stand. Go figure that shit. Rather dopey.

They were fluent.

my family spoke polish but several more generations back

One set of my grandparents spoke Czech, so heard that a lot

They thought we needed to just English alone to be succesful, but now trade to Poland is big money for those that can speak on someone's business behalf.

Same with most languages.

lot of my favorite music for one of my least favorite days. thanks commie

Way too relatable Jim.

Missed Husbands? Shitters.

Love goes on...

What I mean is I loved them always too. But on we go.

I also somehow mean I never had a husband. My kid did though. so there's that.

ok roffle

i don't know if you do mixcloud but there's a whole show about my husband from i think september if you care to learn more

it's ok

Hey Commie, I guess I'm getting worse at internet searching - do you happen to know of other Defectors releases apart from the Dark Entries comp? And hello over there!

I am also a guy. Complicated. LOL I don't as a rule want to know anything about you DJ's. I love you for what you are to me. Can't say that enough.

got it! i'd appreciate a change of subject

jrlp they had one 7"

oh, thanks!

Was hoping to hear Subhumans tonight. Fuck ICE. Up the punks

artificial peace, nice

oh and one other song on a different comp, not easy to get though

I'm glad I hadn't gone to sleep yet. Wasteland, hell yeah!!!

This is the place to find out. Jeez

the late 80's punk show on wtsr, chris and scott show? was discord heavy. the 13 year old me was ok with that

@jrlp, yuppers. This forum is outstanding to learn so much.

dischord, the la vida es en mus of the 80s

C Monster, that sounds like a lovely show!

Smack a guitar for Jesus!

I still can't spell "discord" correctly

The door knocking in this song is creepy/corny

i had a sony double cassette boom box that was my life. there were little pen marks on the fm dial for wprb, wkdu, and wtsr. they were all always a little staticy

wait.... it's dischord? 🤣 😂 😅

something like that

Thank you for expressing a bit of disdain Commie.

yeah i wish i knew exactly what to tell people

Carry on

Fuck it! Say SOMETHING!

you have said what needed to be said in a very good way tonight. the playlist and your thoughts have been heard.

Here. here!

czar fridays 8pm for the spring.

Hear. hear! nOT SURE HOW THAT WORKS.

also it's too full of swears to play on the radio but everyone check out Dälek's new song

https://dalek.bandcamp.com/album/brilliance-of-a-falling-moon

lol, never ask me the proper spelling of anything.......discood init?

Thank you Commie for tonight's show!

right on thanks CF!!!

Yes, thank you for this music tonight, Commie!

thanks everyone for being here

Yeah, fuck all that crazy shit too. I no longer respect federal government regulation. I work on local laws alone now. Good night.

Open a can of worms, bring a fork.

cheers Commie

Thank youuuuu commmmmmmiiiiiieeeeeeeeee 💜

Thanks for the aggro show commie, it was a blast!

thanks everyone

Curse loudly fools!
