The Sonic Bloom Tue Mar 24 with Esoterica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

hey!

There she is!

good evening!

hey Roffle! Hey Riley!;)

good evening!

lets get this party started!

The other day I noticed someone said if we all are into Schifin the other day. I was not in chat, but. yup.

yup, we are:)

on both counts, the party and the schifrin

I like familiar lead in everytime. Like a mile post or something.

I also like none at all.

BOC could bring it

I am so torn... lol

right I get it, roffle

saw them live on the black and blue tour with sabbath

true, riley

nice! Riley

What up Esoterica, today I discovered M Xcloud! Some of my fave WPRB shows will be blasted from my boat this season! Which officially started last weekend with spring cleanup.

yo, john! Sweet!

love that, makes it worth it to do the mix cloud thing to have a record:)

@Riley, my first and only time seeing Sabbath was at the Spectrum with Ted Nugent and Brides of Funkenstein opening.

Cool that you played Pylon, Esoterica ;-)

hey rob, thx!

And hi everyone

perfect spring vibe

the "since yesterday " girls nice

@Coffey, what are your GPS position forecasts? I am a few blocks from the Delaware at Penn Park. I would hang for a listen!

John that must have been a loud show

never saw sabbath sorry to say

saw the brides open up for p funk on the earth tour

saw sabbath with 3 different singers too lol

ha!

best was ozzy of course

Esoterica, it was 1976. Loud shows never seemed to bother me.

yeah they always said id go deaf i loved loud music so much but i can hear fine

yup! me neither until now...

So you don't own that boat any more John?

lol the eyes aint as good but the ears...

Oh wow, Destroy Boys! I am not sure I've ever heard them on WPRB or any radio station

my ears are sensitive bc I have some hearing loss.

you are a DJ tho its prolly from the headphones

yeah for sure

@Roffle Swan Creek in Rock Hall MD. Swan Creek Marina on a mooring ball. Nice to be away from other boaters but scary how sound travels over water.

That is my problem. Eso. we are talking frequency disabilities after long term exposure..

@John Coffey, I hear. the loud rip from NJ

All the time. It is rude.

Camden is generally rude any way.

Hey all. Enjoying this set!

howdy Bike! Thx!

To all the hearing impaired: what?

oh yeah

we're crankin up the volume tonight!

rock and roll

Love this throwback Tuesday. This Tony Molina track is right out of the 70s

Agreed, Bike.

What about this Wilson a little evocative of the 70s, too.

sounds kinds 70s yes!

agree love it

very neil young/james taylor-ish

for sure, riley

this guy gives me a steven stills vibe

yeah for sure I see stills

another ELO alumni

yup:)

and maybe the move too i forget

yes the move, too

him and jeff made much music magic

I think so

Good evening..been listening while driving home and straightening up the estate for a bit

Love the Swans

Wizzard followed by ... Swans??!!

yes?? Rob

good evening, Carlos and Amy!

It's working

thanks kindly rob

me, too, ay love swans

any

(plus I was listening to news so I missed Wizzard anyway)

Amy I cannot type for the life of me

swans must have loved jim morrison

Michael gira loves jim morrison

sounds like he's channeling him

Hey, BTW work with that new music hour. I honestly think every DJ should do that as a must to be here. That's what I want. I want lots of shit though.

hey roffle good idea

nillson was so good

I love nilsson

shame you cant play his best song, it has a curse word in it

you're breakin my heart song

Another Nilsson album I have to track down. Vivid memories of absolutely loving his Arrow as a kid.

oh yeah me and my arrow

I am also rather dopey, yet I love Nilsson with zero regrets to my grave.

he had some great albums

me, too, roffle

later allmans

right

no duane sadly

love dickie betts, but duane was the man

Me and My Arrow, Harry Nilson

yup, john

didnt he do the theme to courtship of eddies father?

Well Howdy! Blinked my eyes and it's Tuesday

howdy, inspector!!

hoping i hear my fav band again tonight, the kinks :)

I can arrange that

you are the best :)

Riley, yup! But I think there is an official song for that song.

yes "best friend" is by nilsson

riley

Misfits is a great Kinks record

no doubt inspector

Which kinks? So many... Getting old...

Riley, I DO Not think there is an official song for Courtship of Eddies Father. Didn't Jody Foster appear in that show?

At least still have hair to get the Kinks out 😇

Mr. Eddy's Father?

Seriously too funny.

That Wyatt track was amazing. Traffic vibes. Prex rules!

My ex-wife was a WKDU DJ from 84-88.

I remember i was still an inspector, had to phone in 2016

If anyone can manage the vinyl, the chat and a trivia show…

Hey everyone! Bowie name-checks Harry Nilsson on the chat with Bing Crosby before "little drummer boy"

john lennon lloved nillson too

Theres a documentary "who is Harry Nilsson and why is everyone talking about him?"

oh I need to watch that randy

I keep meaning to as well - I only know that it's out there someplace LOL

IMDb tells me it's available on Amazon video

Might have to book that for my Friday viewing

j geils nice

oh yeah i saw these guys with the stones and George thorogood jack Murphy stadium 1981!

so great

Peter Wolf was David Lynch's roommate

Peter wolf has great front man moves like mick

this band has a very interesting story

or he did lol

god bless him still alive!

He described his dance technique as "monkey trainer"

and married to the gorgeous Faye Dunaway from 1974-79.

he was a DJ in boston when he got the job in j geils

Sheafer Beer music fest central park JGB 74?

I just saw a video about them https://youtu.be/V4nOHHhNkYM?si=EfDHthupOyi-1i7L

yeah j geils ruined that band sadly

why how?

It was actually Seth Justman who killed it, according to the vid

Good evening, Eso! It was so nice to hear Nilsson's Don't Forget Me. I was playing that one on the piano earlier today!

he took the name and wouldnt let wolf or seth use it

j geils himself didnt sing or write the songs

but he was j geils so once they fired wolf it was all but over

Oh right!

Peter Wolf was married to Faye Dunnaway way back

Then there were the legals - worthy of The GoGo's in snumosity

saw j geils live with yes and peter frampton and they were so good

*animosity

I thought I write that in the chat, inspector (1974-79)

faye and peter

Uptown Top Ranking!

married!

oh yeah, their hit, rob

Cher and Greg

Indeed!

j geils, skynyrd frampton JFK 1977

sweet

was yes when i seen em

Wasn't Yes headliner at that show Relayer tour

this was later, i think it was tormato tour

this Kap Bambino is ear-catching

cause frampton played that mouth harp crap

Definitely remember Relayer JFK ( don't do the blue acid)

yes, Cher and greg, inspector

And Mummers are bummers some a- holes always ruin things

this lady gives me a buffy st marie vibe i dunno why

https://youtu.be/7hLQK6RSZDk?si=TwqEcgEwSGmTxYkQ If it looks like Miami Vice, Michael Mann directed it

The voice box frampton used was invented by Jeff Beck - he said that after he saw frampton use it, he regretted his decision LOL

lol i like beck a little less now :)

Not possible, dude

Blow by Blow and Wired all you need

Jeff is superior

ha re: the voice box, randy

so much good stuff, just listened to the honeydrippers today

Saw JB & SRV together at the Spectrum; that was a night

only time i ever saw SRV was when he played guitar for bowie

Saw when he did tour with Jan Hammer live record

I didn't he actually went on tour w/bowie? Awesome!!!

yeah forget what hit he played on..china girl maybe

@inspector "Blow by Blow and Wired all you need" I disagree! His work with Stanley Clarke is wonderful, and I really like "Who Else?" --- "did you HEAR what Momma said?!!!"

stanley clarke with george duke was so good too

Listen to "Let's Dance" he's unmistakeable; PLUS "Blaze of Glory" w/Bon Jovi --- once you hear it, you ALWAYS hear it

Check out Animal Logic; a two LP project with Stanley Clarke & Stewart Copeland

Didn’t know SRV played on Let’s Dance!

wow I didn't;think either bike

Me either! I'll have to go back and give it a listen

he li maria!

hey!

David Bowie saw (relatively unknown) SRV at a jazz/blues fest in Montreaux, and grabbed him - it was his work on Let's Dance that got him recognized by the majors

Hey Eso!!!

:)

Bowie wrote the songs w/Nile Rodgers, but Niles not a "solos" guy so ... SRV

great vibe tonight 🎵

thx a little mellow

but I think I found great musicians

to put together

if I may be so bold as to say hahah

great playlist for a spring evening

Ha--I keep forgetting it's spring!

rip augie Meyers

who played with sir douglas

and the texas tornados

I "should be" working on a poster for a running event in Quebec City, but the chat is too compelling

ha, randy, I get it

Mesmerizing

speaking of bowie

HERE WE GO!!!

woot!

Funny thing is this line has been going through my head all day "We're NOT gonna talk about Judy!!!"

Now I hear it!

ha randy

yes!

lol

Yes! Don't know why I never knew this before!

little known rock history

I saw Lalo Schifrin's name in the Oscars ceremony's list of people who expired in the past year.

hey David, right that is true, but guess who was left out?? bud cort! shame

In the video - filmed at the spectrum- DB takes a bouquet of flowers from someone near the stage, walks across and tosses it back; I was right NEXT TO the girl he threw it to!!! Patti Brett, one of the Sigma Kids!!!

Wow, Randy! I remember that video

The star of Brewster McCloud? I think that was Shelley Duvall's first film.

yup

Fucking excellent dynamic last song. Rael good.

Great show as always, Eso! Gotta go pick up the kid from taekwondo, but you'll be with me in the car!

aw thx, li maria!

Kids +. Yikes!

Joe glass? I agree. roffle

Loving the show! Got a bonfire going and listening to WPRB as we get it goin

nice, pengy!

Bud Cort also directed, cowrote and starred in a dark romantic comedy I liked called "Ted & Venus". That should be rereleased.

thx for stopping by to say hi

never knew about that film, David

I so not miss day care!

@li Maria - "Wow, Randy! I remember that video" I had one of those Mylar moons for the longest time, until a girlfriend ... "oh, I thought it was trash"

The Pylon Reenactment Society will play at Randy Now's Man Cave on May 2.

Oh, man, Randy!!!

cool david1

Life goes on - I lost my LiveAid backstage pass somehow too

ha randy!

They didn't give away medals for EVERYONE when I started running marathons either, and I didn't think to save my bibs, so I have gaps

"I got gaps, she got gaps; together we fill gaps"

Gene Hackman also died in 2025. He and Doug Sahm of the Sir Douglas Quintet both acted in "Cisco Pike".

yes but they had some kooky explanation why he wasn't included - I think bc he was included last year?

@david "Randy Now" - guys named randy are cool; randy now/randy Ellis, randy savage, randy Rhoads LOL

Jane Fonda should've done Redford's "eulogy"

I didn't need to hear Streisand sing

I shook the disease. The covid26. Am indestructible apparently. In-dutch-structable.

This was a great show, ty Esoterica!

great show!

thanks, rob and riley!!

oh good, Matt!

Thanks for stuff as always! Appreciated!

Thanks for another great show Esoterica.

Yay Matt!!

aw taks amy

thanks!

the typo lady, just call me

Loved the Gang o' 4 and Flat Duo Jets especially. Thank ye, DJ.

thanks roffle

sweet, Matt:)

If I'm thinking of the same 1965 TV special, Eso, it features Peter Sellers reciting "A Hard Day's Night" costumed as Richard III.

Great times Esoterica!!! Your show next week will be on April Fools Day EVE - program accordingly

thx randy!

I just happened to notice that b/c my poster is due 4/1 LOL

https://youtu.be/CGFsiz0Kpno

Num num.

That time Ministry canceled the show at Revival late 80's at last minute. Reliable sources said Al J. walked in, took a look at the place and walked out. Had to wait 15 years later to see them at Electric Factory.

wow john

John C what!! That Alien Jourgensen.

ha

Goodnight yall, thanks for this wonderful show tonight

Listening here is time enrichment. Or am I missing something I don;t care about. I have questions. Care not for answers. Thanks.

Thx for a great set!
