I know it's gonna be a good show when Shazam doesn't know the first song!

I can remember listening to Buggy Bear on the John Peel Show ...just about! Mind blown💥

*Hugggy*

I saw Huggy Bear at Brownies. It had to be their final NYC performance.

As JAYSUS H!

DAMN YOU SPELL CHECK!!!

i forgot to post the au pairs articles! https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/dec/18/au-pairs-comeback-lesley-woods-interview

Oh! Thanks Commie!💚

oh yeah there's a proper dbeat

there's a more thorough au pairs article too but i forget where it is. it's like a local birmingham paper/website or something

Maybe Lesley Woods should've called the reformed group the Au Pairs Reenactment Society.

it would have been the respectful thing to do! or faux pairs since the reenactment society idea is already taken

the oh pears

The Pylon Reenactment Society are coming to NJ: https://mancavenj.com/products/plyon-appreciation-society

i have heard they're great live!

Hearing Cabaret Voltaire for the first time. I've been living under a rock

Oh Pears 😍

Cleaning that snow is gonna suck, I think I'm just gonna hermit myself until it melts in a week 😊

I think Percy knows the storm is a brewin ... That is why he was snuggly

my animals will be thrilled for me to be stuck inside

hopefully it should melt pretty fast. surely faster than last time

esp if it stays 39 degrees .. .. [carnegie will not freeze over ~ no sk8ting .. ]

THIS

Yeah, I hope y'all are safe up there. My brother lives in Medford Lakes, he's been preparing all day.

Powerful!

It's a choose your own speed adventure!

tell me about it!

Hey great show commie Francis... Who was the narduwar interview you were talking about earlier where they talked about D-beat?

the drummer of ghost

Which Skulls was that? Probably not the NYC band with Charley Pip.

LA skulls

Thanks! Was driving and only caught parts of it. Friggen love narduwar.

Dunno why I keep getting the u in the wrong spot. Nardwuar.

Not the Skulls that Joey Shithead led before DOA, either.

nope, a different skulls. there are a lot of skulls. danzig wants to collect them all

he needs to

i think victims was their only studio recording released (or maybe even recorded?) when they were originally around. there are some live tracks

So many skulls, so little time

Does Nardwuar still do a radio show? It's been years since WFMU broadcast it.

lulz to the danzig joke.

hey gang!

hiya colin! david i dunno if nardwuar still has a radio show. i've just seen youtube videos

lately

Thanks to the crummy intermittent wi-fi here, I missed that Bilbo Baggins track. I wonder how they compare with the band Gandalf.

and joe it feels natural to put the u there.

they're better than the leonard nimoy bilbo baggins song i'd say. maybe not as good as the hobbits

I went and got some Wawa coffee before work, but with the amount of energy in that last set I don't think I need that sludge anymore.

Going to drink it anyway

I have that Bush Tetras album -- on cassette!

Christmas!! In February!

"Big Plans" was the college radio hit from this album. Why I bought it

Robin Williams recalled the time John Belushi brought him to a Bush Tetras show.

christmas like, personifies college rock to me

R.E.M. started as the most College band of all time. I remember being surprised when they made it big

this sax player is jammin! 🎷 😎

Rudi Thomson, I believe.

that may have been the first time i ever heard oi polloi. i liked it!

you may have heard their song "anarcho pie" in a wprb station ID!

ohhhhhhh!

from earlier tonight

that pie always sounds so delcious

omg speaking of station id. I heard the old peppa pig ID last night for the first time in like a year or so

antiklimax is rippin!

i was thinking about playing that peppa pig one tonight! but i always associate it with pax's show

i don't remember that one off the top of my head but i would remember it when i heard it.

this whole home stretch of the show is rippin!!!

this next one is mendin!

Commie: Tnx for the whole doggone show! Take care in the snow & stuff & bcnu!

i got the ingredients for snow storm crock pot corn beef and cabbage.

💥🙏

lol, mendin

Stay safe everyone!

I remember Pianosaurus! They were in "Life Without Zoë", the Francis Ford Coppola segment of the 1989 anthology film "New York Stories".
