hey there!

Hey there!

Hey yourselves

hey roffle and carlos!

LALO. Short for Edualdo

And a younger Lalo would be Lalito

Checking in. Hi Esoterica, Roffle, Carlos!

hey Rob!

getting a little warmer in central jersey

Song title may be a fave of the icey people

In my neighborhood it seems to have gotten a little above 40 degrees today. WOOHOO!

hopefully not, but she is talking about gentrification

or i should say because

In this day and age I would be surprised to see a Lambrini show in the states..probably a no go on the work visas

yeah i see what you mean, carlos

yup i get it.

I'm not going anywhere with this US Passport at the moment either. Unless they take refugees.

Hey DJE!

Hey Stevie!

In time for MTH!

Frozen car is on you tube..shoveled car out and parking spot was still there when she came back..overnight water main break caused slight flooding and car was splashed and froze over

oh man, carlos

Ahoy, Dirty Harry fans. TCM is showing "Charlie Varrick" next week!

Ahoy, David! Sweet, I will watch

love TCM

my go to

Charlie Varrick is one of my all time favorite movies

i hate to admit i've never seen it

Put it on your must-see list.

will do for sure, thanks

Directed by DH director Donald Siegel. Cast includes Andy Robinson (Scorpio in DH) and John Vernon (the Mayor in DH).

Cool, David

helllooo

fucked up never disappoints!

hey sorry it's andrew, yeah fr sure.

this voice here now sounds like gollum

tome

my precious

not sure of the theme of this one either but i love all their proggy epics anyway

oh, me, too. they get into it on their bandcamp

here you go: https://fuckedup.bandcamp.com/album/grass-can-move-stones-part-1-year-of-the-goat

big concept album fan

hey michael, for sure!

what's up esoterica! not familiar with fucked up! this is dope!

i agree! if you get. a chance to see them live, def do!

Which of the Gollum voice actors do you mean? Peter Woodthorpe from Ralph Bakshi's "The Lord of the Rings" (1978), or Brother Theodore from the 1977 TV film "The Hobbit"?

you are always one step ahead of me!

david

andy serkis?

Brother Theodore? From Letterman? He was NUTS!!!

Just kidding, I knew you meant Serkis. I'm not really a Tolkien fan, but I once web-searched my name and found another David Shortell who played the dwarf Glóin in a Connecticut stage production of "The Hobbit".

wow that is fun! what a discovery

you're doppelganger david haha

"Shortell" played a dwarf? That's cruel

hey randy

:)

Casting agents can be MEAN

true ha!

hi!

Hey esoterica!!!

old punk yay

hi!

oh yeah, rob, more a comin

Anyone .listened to the new Buzzcocks yet? I'm hedging/waiting

no i haven't

intrigued tho

Love their "whistling" song, I think "Die Matrosen"?

well, maybe i have i hate to admit bc i saw them live last year, was it included in the tour??

yp, mike! i think so!

yo, mike!:)

Hiya!

Did you see the Buzzcocks at House of Independents, Eso? Their openers were the fine NJ bands The Dracu-Las and Dusters.

no i saw with reeder station at brooklyn bowl philly

where is house of independents

?

Asbury Park.

oh ok thx

is it a good place to watch a band

Reeder Station features Steve Garvey. So an ex-Buzzcock opened for the band he left 3 decades ago.

yup!

In 1981, the summer before I started art school, I worked on my aunts farm in VT; I brought 5 mixtapes with me: the clash, the police, van Halen, ac/DC, and the buzcocks

nice!

I knew radio was not an option - not even Top 40 stations reached up there

Lots of great stuff Eso. That heavy set was great. And lots of show to go. :)

oh thaks, roffle

thanks!:)

Although my uncle had a fancy mlti-band "shortwave" radio, I wasn't allowed to "play with it"

i love this sundays album, listened to it so much back in the day

Smiths always takes me back to the jukebox at Doobies when I worked there

oh man, doobies!

great bar

i went tere a few times in the early-to-mid 90s

there

I had moved back over to jersey by then, or I'd seen you

ohok

It's the Bowie-est place in the world

where, jersey or doobie's? ha

doobie's is still open?!

Absolutely still open

I have a Spotify Playlist "doobies jukebox 1985/86" LOL

Helps me go to sleep sometimes

long train running ha!

Since its a "jukebox" i started another one for the b-sides - that's actually HARDER to make

22nd & Lombard

Ben Vaughn used to come into doobies all the time!!!

sweet!

randy

He's great!!!

yeah nice guy

Lambrini Girls - ok fun set Hey all, and Ms. Eso.

oh yeah, thanks, francis!:)

and hi!

Missed the past phenom hour or so. Field Mice, Pastels, Echo & the Sundays(!).

hey Amy!

glad you like:)

so much more early punk

yesso

:)

NOT the stuff you could buy at the mall - you had to make an effort; you had to commit; you had to take public transit LO,

On his weekly KCRW radio show, Henry Rollins recounted Black Flag's first UK tour when they played with Chelsea. It wasn't friendly.

LOL

@david read"Get In The Van"

East Side Club and City Gardens and noted

haha, david

i need to read thaht too, randy

Then read "I'm Not Holding Your Coat" by my friend Nancy Barile

oh yeah will do! I have heard about these books

I saw a Black Flag video from East Side Club and recognized myself in the backgorund

that is funny!

and cool

swell maps!

yes!

have you checked out nikki sudden's solo albums

yes, i played one of his not too long ago

@esoterica -I'll have to send you a Pic of the flyer; its legendary!!

sweet! do! Thanks, Randy

I read that Eydie Gormé and husband Steve Lawrence once opened for the Beatles.

that is hilarious

david

my parents loved steve and eydie

Catherine O'Hara was talented! https://youtu.be/k26pDrKjTuY?si=JlQFLTwXFA7J4Xi5

wow I am feeling younger and younger as this hour goes on

oh she was, mike

Elvis & The Beatles killed two species of entertainers - crooners and "the song & dance man"

sctv so good

what about sammy davis, jr.

he was still hitting the talk shows in the 70s

that's a great steve and eydie parody

Rat pack were exempt

omg! thx mike, i will watch when i get off air:)

right, randy

if you haven't seen it, get ready for entertainment!

one of the funniest things I've ever seen

i haven't mike, and i will! haha

that is me laughing in anticipation

but then, most of SCTV was. Anyone ever seen The Last Polka?

There's a guy in "gidget goes hawaiian" who thinks he's gonna be a big star, because he can dance like gene Kelly & sing lime Bobby Darin; that was the model then

ha, yes

It's a documentary on rhe Schmenge Brothers last cocert.

oh wow, mike

@robFM same here... i appreciate these guys making me feel young for a change!

randy, i never did see gidget goes hawaiian ha

I turned. Off the Grammy for " best new artist" because it more like " best choreography to autotune"

ha

i was out to dinner missed it all

https://youtu.be/wN_cyXBpMAc?si=OWbDDzft8p_954D3

thanks, mike, i will watch:)

Were the Schmenge Brothers (Eugene Levy and John Candy) the same nationality as Pirini Sceroso (Andrea Martin) and the Lutonian terrorists who kidnapped Moe Green (Harold Ramis)?

Oh god, how funny were all of them!

Eugene Levy & Dave Thomas were the Czech border guards in STRIPES

Okay here is a clue: Nearly 20 years after its humble beginning, the journey of Fucked Up’s ever evolving Zodiac series begins its towering conclusion with “Grass Can Move Stones,” a monumental 10 part finale beginning with the album “Year of The Goat.” Four and a half years on from their last entry “Year of The Horse,” Grass Can Move Stones will encompass the final three entries into the series; Goat, Monkey and Rooster, telling one connected story over three albums, an almost five-hour musical voyage through their varied styles and influences, that will revisit and recontextualise elements from the previous 9 zodiac entries as entirely new music.
