I got a new laptop a couple of weeks ago and while it's great not having to use a USB keyboard it's still a little finicky
Rob from Maryland 🦀
5:09:08 PM
I didn't know that was Sade. It was nice!
Dana K (host)
5:09:27 PM
I will say that Sade is one of our best selling artists at the record store I work at
Commie Francis
5:09:43 PM
She's near universally loved

5:10:59 PM
Maybe I'll check her out 😇
Rob from Maryland 🦀
5:12:20 PM
Sade as the new Funky Drummer would be awesome
Number 6
5:13:59 PM
They're supposed to be replacing the Funky Drummer at some point.

Anyone have any tips on dealing with a clogged toilet? Or some good unclogging music?
Steve Keane
5:19:39 PM
If you have a power drill get a plumbing snake attachment.
Dana K (host)
5:20:23 PM
Sounds like your toilet is Bang Out Of Order
yoni from kdu
5:20:36 PM
That sounds like it would make some great noise
Steve Keane
5:21:05 PM
You could use it as an instrument
Dana K (host)
5:21:58 PM
Book your toilet at Pocket Dimensions
yoni from kdu
5:22:48 PM
Hopefully by April 22nd it'll be working fine
Steve Keane

Rob from Maryland 🦀
5:23:16 PM
yoni, do you have one of these, or can you get one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plunger
Rob from Maryland 🦀
5:23:52 PM
We have a somewhat bigger one than in the link, and it works well unclogging our toilets
yoni from kdu
5:23:58 PM
Oh yes. Been plungin.
Dana K (host)
5:24:19 PM
Have you tried sage to ward off the evil spirits
Steve Keane
5:25:10 PM
I use sage on chicken. It's very nice
Rob from Maryland 🦀
5:25:20 PM
And it's not working?
Rob from Maryland 🦀
5:26:03 PM
Do you have a plumber? They work a little differently than plungers ;-)
yoni from kdu
5:28:05 PM
Might have to get one soon
Rob from Maryland 🦀
5:31:13 PM
Maybe you get an Angine de PlumberPoitrine? The polka dots clear clogs quickly I hear
Rob from Maryland 🦀

@Dana K, great to hear Buba and the Shop Assistants and now Holiday!
Dana K (host)

Aye Rob!
Jon Solomon
5:34:01 PM
Yoni...I am going to regret these words but do you have access to...a toilet snake.
Dana K (host)
5:34:39 PM
Yoni thank you for calling into my plumbing hotline we are here to assist
Jon Solomon
5:36:19 PM
I once rang in midnight on New Year's Eve on the floor trying to de-clog a toilet.

Dana K (host)
5:37:38 PM
Yo Marcus!
yoni from kdu
5:37:46 PM
I have a tiny auger that I borrowed from Mike McKee a couple years ago and never gave back. I did just text him offering him money to fix my toilet and also remind him that I need to give him back his snake.
Jon Solomon
5:38:23 PM
Dana, I'll never be able to shake that harrowing Labor Day flood.
Marcus Haupt
5:38:45 PM
I don't think I've ever heard you play Aztec Camera
Jon Solomon
5:38:50 PM
An actual Labor wave, come to think of it.

Amy Lee
5:42:34 PM
@ Yoni - not familiar w/your particular set-up, however, if you're in an area where the town/city is responsible for maintaining outside storm drains & debris, that can affect your drain/clogging issues. Try calling to see if thats the issue
Marcus Haupt
5:43:29 PM
"God Forgives, I Don't" is a good spaghetti western
Dana K (host)

The Laborwave Toilet Debacle of 2023 left me traumatized

Have I really not played Aztec Camera? I might have to change that

I knew this was the song you would play! Nobody beat the Dana K!
Dana K (host)
5:55:37 PM
Roddy Frame was 17 when he released this single. Ridiculous.
Marcus Haupt
5:56:56 PM
This is the B-side. You and Stretch Armstrong find the B-side gems. They sday he wrote "Oblivious" just to prove he could make a pop hit if he wanted to
Bike R
5:59:20 PM
You played Aztec Camera!
Steve Keane
6:05:41 PM
Seeing your ankles would be improper.
Marcus Haupt
6:05:52 PM
1989 “good thing” by fine young cannibals…coincidence?

A good idea for the drive might be a 2 hour show from just BOMP label..would probably help me find my checkbook
Dana K (host)
7:30:54 PM
I love that idea! Maybe Esoterica would be down to do that.
Carlos Ramone
7:32:18 PM
Whoever followed your labor day show played much Bomp that day..forget the DJ
Dana K (host)
7:41:50 PM
I wonder who that was! I didn't have a Laborwave show in 2025
