hey

Hey hey

Hey hey TAndy

This is a nice round of comedy music going haha

Nice to be here again today!

yes! haha

sweet, glad to have you aboard

lets rock this house 🎵

you know it riley:)

I love Merle.

hey amy! me, too bakersfield sound

Goodevening and lovely one at that! 😎

Good evening, Inspector:)

glad you liked

good old king crimson

oh yeah

The League of Gentlemen

Hi Esoterica and everyone!

Just tuned in, loving the Crimson

Howdy, Rob!

Top of the evening to you as well!

One of my previous vehicles had a 5 cd player, and, even though it was on random, every time my husband got in, 'if we make it through December' would play. No lie. Every time. Kind of burned him on Merle f

whoa, amy, who could be burned on merle

I've only known Circle Jerks' version till now. Looking it up, I see it's a Garland Jeffries song. It apparently has nothing to do with the 1968 American International film.

hey david, yeah

I rooted for Ethan Hawke to win the Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of tiny, comb-overed Lorenz Hart.

god i loved blue moon, good stuff

Snap-Her got yanked off the turntable--and off the playlist!

ha! sometimes that happens

@david

snap-her is good

the song had a word i cannot play

maybe i will edit and play next week

Somebody in the chat mentioned the 1960 British Lion Film "The League of Gentlemen" for some reason. That must have been a big hit because 3 years later, Peter Sellers' character refers to it in another crime comedy, "The Wrong Arm of the Law".

wow, david, interesting!

This score is nice, but I still don't want to see the movie "Earthquake".

Mexican Institute of Sound then Messthetics!! Yessssssss

you know me! rob:) all over the place

This is scrumptious

Poseidon adventure

The League of Gentlemen is a Bob Fripp album released around 83 or around then.

oh yeah cool

inspector

I have an unopened copy of that Fripp record never got around to listening to it

wow thta is cool

that

Why was Audrey Hepburn cast in Julie Andrews' part for the movie version of this?

And he was a DJ on WXPN when it was still listenable.

maybe more of a "star" at the time, david

hey mike! andrew was a dj at wxpn?

i didn;t know that

Yep, I think I remember him hosting Yesyerday's Now Music Today when it ran daily and also their overnight free-form show "Mosaic"..

If it's the same Andrew Chalfen.

oh cool, mike

AO with words!!!!

Shaw's 1913 play "Pygmalion" ends with Eliza Doolittle leaving Henry Higgins for good. That was radical; when the 1938 movie was made, they had her change her mind and return.

hey carlos!

Posh boy…great label

OMG this is so great

hey kelly!

Hi!!

back to the good ol days

locals only lol

lol I love it so much

me, too brings me back

Angry Samoans!

3 great ones in a row

Just stringing em together!

I'm about to go do some kickflips

lets goooo

I remember having to explain to my kids who JFA was and the whole Ronnie shooting

right carlos ha

I used to think what Jodie though or even knew of the band named after her

yeah prob flattered? ha

I missed the Angry Samoans at Randy Now's Man Cave on the 19th, but three days later I saw the Len Price 3 there. It was the greatest show I've seen in years.

LOVE all this early 80s hardcore punk!!!!

thx rob! glad

oh cool, david i missed both

solid playlist tonight

thx riley:)

I was driving home when you played wild in the streets and from the chat a listener said he only knew the circle jerks version..this morning while driving for work I heard a new version of Pleasant Valley Sunday…I nay knew the Monkees and the Mr T Experience ones..always learing

me, too, carlos, always learning!

My uncle and my sister went to Cal State Fullerton

what? wild! my bro went in 1978 i think, he went to grossmont for maybe a year before

when did they go?

I saw most of the bands in that last set at NJ bars; most incredibly, the Gun Club at the Green Parrot in Neptune. Remember that joint?

My uncle probably went in 1988 and my sister was there in the early 2000s. Now my sister lives in Lakeside :)

oh, cool! my hometown

I never did much in Orange County. Went to the occasional show at The Smell or Chain Reaction

I went to McCabe's, the Roxy, Perkins Palace, all over really but not to the early places like The Masque

My favorite Donovan song!!

GREAT SHOW! BAM!

aw thanks, chef!

sweet, rob!

Donovan sang a new version of this for "Futurama", changing the lyrics to describe Atlanta GA.

huh did not know that, david.

!976 was the year I woke up in my friends station wagon while driving over the Pulaski skyway heading to an unbeknownst to me open mic at the Dugout in the Village. Magic silly world gets dopey a lot.

Heya
