same, but different!

🎉🎉🎉 party time

🎉🎉🎉

Happy Uneasy Listening, everyone! 🎉

🎉♫🎉

The snow is melting!

listen the snow is melting, everywhere <3

definitely happy to see it

Hi everyone, the snow is melting, everywhere

Can't believe momma nature is throwing another inch or two at is tomorrow just for it to melt immediately

shut up, really?

@Rob MD At warmest and sunniest part of today it was like a sun shower from the melting on my roof. Que Sun Showers from Dr. Buzzards Savanah Band.

Yeah, the weather models showed nothing till this morning LOL

We're in drought status though so we kinda need it

@John, that's good news? Pretty soon you can take your boat out into the bay!

how are we in a drought when 8 zillion lbs of snow are melting?

It's taking too long! My front steps are still mostly covered in an unloving glacier 😭

hahah that glacier is so cold, so cold

Down around DC, the latest weather service forecast is for a little tiny bit of snow Sunday night. I hope that the same transpires for you up in Philly/Princeton

I need some kind of bear to get rid of all that ice.

yeh some kinda ice bear. ice bear

Maybe there's a song about an ice bear

@RobMD I always check out Baltimore weather forecasts. So many times there's a big divide at MD PA border. And especially important when they describe patterns moving SW to NE.

@RobMD I was amazed when my father told me that Cape May NJ was further South the Washington DC. Weather dictates just about everything I do every day.

probably haven't heard this song since the 80s

C Monsta: remember the version with MC Lyte rapping "I'm in the mood for love" over this?

i never heard that marcus, now i have a side quest

ive grown to appreciate mc lyte more and more over the years.

The first big female rapper. Paper Thin was a revelation

Hi ya Commie F!

hiya bo!

@John Coffey, I didn't know about the forecast divide at the MD/PA border. And yeah, isn't that great about Cape May?

Was Alfred Penniworth on vacation?

i guess so!

Hiyooooooooo

hello!

yoooooooo hi!

this and the silent planet songs are of a particular good.

Hey guys I'm going to Wawa before work for some covfefe wutchall want

This mic break music is a win btw

panpipes play abba rules

would it be ok if you brought me me both of the mac machines and the lottery scratcher machine. buy your self a small covfefe on me

me looking at song titles for the next few weeks, full sentence!!!! full sentence!!!!

I need a shawtie hoagie with only olives mayo and swiss. And a pound of unsalted butter.

there's gonna be a lot on transistor sister the next few weeks. i have so many!

And a handful of the 4/$1 peanut chews

Mac machines????? Okay unc.

I gotchu jimboooo

level up challenge. organize the song tittle sentences into a paragraph set.

MAC attack, no surcharge 💵💵💵

my little sister and both got in trouble for depositing empty deposit envelopes into to mac and withdrawing the up to $200 cash off that deposit. we had no clue we were up to the same shenanigans. within days of each other🤣

Those days must have been the Wild West haha

I'm also lied, I went to Quick Chek instead hahahahaha

I heard that Batman riff

a classic!

me too! 🦇

i couldn't quite manage a coherent paragraph but i'll do a set at 10 that is kind of a sequence of events

chipmunk punk

record speeds are a construct

I'm in!

The Fall The Fall The Fall

I knew they must have songs with titles that are full sentences!

WE. ARE. THE FAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Get yrself fitttterrrrrr. Sentence.

What's up?

The Fall brings all the boys to the yard

I appreciated that multiple people posted that image of all The Fall's logos this week with the caption

@Jon, thanks for dropping the link in the chat.

I can't see why it would be of interest to you, but OK.

😎

Now available as a shirt!

That is awesome my frenz

whoa. this song

nightfeeder is so good. members of one of my favorite all time dbeat bands, state of fear

Oh my god I just noticed the sentence diagram, I haven't seen that since I was in elementary school! Do they still do those?

no i don't think anyone under like 50 knows how to do that. i never did it in school and i am 47

i never heard of nightfeeder and i need to find like everything of theirs

i had to have my dad do it. a couple of friends around my age said they could maybe dredge it out of their brains

I remember doing those at some point between first and third grade. I don't remember how that or long division works 🙃

i vaguely remember those from 4th grade in the early 80s

i think i get the theme in these song sentences. maybe....

Hi all! I'm 46 and did sentence diagrams. Maybe it was a NJ thing

colin it's kinda shaky but sort of makes a story

jim maybe! also hi it's been a while!

i was in the "not so bright" classes .we definitly no did sntance maps.

*peaks out my curtains, makes sure they ain't up to no good.

actually did peak out my curtains and there was police action across the valley. 🤔

yee, i hope it's not whatever is going on in this song title story

i did see the police stopping traffic to allow a flock of geese cross the road the other day.

the guess in my head was zombie attack! love it

TSOL yesssss

i love the extreme CA accents in this

the SYStem

Last comment about the old topic. I'm 32, but most of my teachers up till the 8th grade were fairly oldschool. Maybe it was just a regional thing haha

😍 love drum and bass in all its forms, re; 10lec6

jersey got a lot of roads. back in the day it was of extra importance for jersey kids to be able to read maps. in any form.

old enough to remember seeing my dad break out the gas station atlas when we'd get lost

jersey roads are hard WITH gps!

my husband and i tried to drive the lincoln highway from somewhere in jersey to pittsbrugh and the jersey part was by far the most confusing

oops i did it again

I didn't even know the linkoln highway was still a thing in jersey

🐿️

it's just pieces of it. it wasn't really ever one road. it was more of a route

All's I know is I can take rt 1, the turnpike, 295, 195, and 130. Anything else is nomansland for me lolol

you did play the slowed chipmunk recording a little back. so it's probably some kinda cosmic coinkydink we don't understand.

This is exactly the song you would stay up until 2 am on a Wed in 1982 to hear on WPRB

Then the station would sign off until morning.

Thanks for the show Commie!!

I had to wait until summer break to stay up that late, sitting in the kitchen, sometimes WPRB goes full Hot Time Time Machine on me

Great show Commie!

go commie go!!

Good show. Now it’s time to tune to the Henry Rollins Show on KCRW. It was his birthday yesterday.

THANK YOU COMMIE FRANCIS
