@Dominique Montgomery -Specifically the song Pineapple, and ON WPRB's airwaves when I was a teen, and my 15 year-old self thought the voice was a woman singing! Was not acquainted with Russell's lovely falsetto yet!

My mistake!!! "Midnight Special 9/28/79. Musical Guests: Cars, Iggy Pop, Records, Suicide and M. This was a special "no dialogue" episode with no hosts" ... 1979, I was watching in the lounge at college (yes, I went to a REGULAR University, before Art School) 1979, THAT explains things ... dunno why I thought Sparks was in there? Confused Suicide, maybe?

I can wear the WPRB Cat Shirt, while assembling my Cat Book?
DJ Readie 6:53:23 PM
Hiya Carlos!
Lizbot (host) 6:53:45 PM
@Carlos Ramone - Man or Astroman is great, but we'll see if I get to it! LOVE Dr. Demento!
Lizbot (host) 6:54:17 PM
@Roffle 0x7EA - Belew? THis Man on the moon song? Oh wow, I did not know!
Dominique Montgomery 6:54:27 PM
Damn this song rocks never heard before
Roffle 0x7EA 6:54:30 PM
Yea
Randy Marthins 6:54:31 PM
Isn't this track before or after "Big Electric Cat?" #LoneRhinocerous
DJ Readie 6:54:43 PM
Dr. Demento is classic!
Lizbot (host) 6:54:49 PM
@Randy Marthins - Why yes! All catly activities whilst clad in WPRB swag are, in fact, encouraged!
Lizbot (host) 6:55:48 PM
@Randy - Big Electric Cat is earlier in the album! Like firsy!
thomas hatch 6:56:37 PM
Adrian Belew! Sounds so much like David Byrne I guess from his time with talking heads
Randy Marthins 6:56:52 PM
How will we hear Dr. Demento songs when "kids Corner" on XPN goes away? (Sorry for talking about other stations - my kid is kind of sad Cathy is retiring)
Ossy 6:57:44 PM
chef - hahaha, i did go before though, but feels like forever long every year! I'll try!
Ossy 6:58:07 PM
liz - yeaah great smells on those two saturdays!!!
Randy Marthins 6:58:48 PM
Adrian Belew went from Zappa to Talking Heads, so there was CERTAINLY cross-pollination
Carlos Ramone 6:59:00 PM
@Randy…I can come over to your place with my Dr D records..I have his boxed set #251 and quite a few other ones

Carlos Ramone 7:03:17 PM
The Dr is always on my noggin radio..I met him at a record store in manayunk many years ago..thanked him for all the music he put in my brain…many songs every day
Dominique Montgomery 7:04:39 PM
@randy according to YouTube Sparks was on MS 11/15/1974 🫡
Carlos Ramone 7:04:59 PM
He was in town for a Kids corner event and did a meet and greet
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:05:55 PM
RIP Tom Verlaine. I love the song "Marquee Moon"
Randy Marthins 7:06:37 PM
Imagine trying to get the music clearances to do a Dickie Goodman track now? Look at all the crap Rick Beato and Adam Reader/Professor of Rock are going through with YouTube takedowns
Lizbot (host) 7:06:49 PM
@Dominique Montgomery - Ah! Might have been screened at the 21 Nights Sparks exhibit on Brick Lane in London when I went in '08! My friend Ayesha curated that exhibit and one wall had a screen with projections of old Sparks live appearances
Lizbot (host) 7:07:12 PM
@thomas hatch - pink monkey birds await us in some galaxy, perhaps?!
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 7:07:21 PM
There are two songs I feel have the "best worst lyric" in them. One is that B-52's tune.
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 7:07:38 PM
"There's a moon in the sky...it's called the moon" is stupid genius.
Randy Marthins 7:07:52 PM
"Punk Rock wasn't invented in NYC or London; it was invented in Delaware" so says a friend of mine --- from DE
Roffle 0x7EA 7:08:17 PM
@Randy Marthin, Agreed! Anayasis should always be opensource, no matter what.
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 7:08:26 PM
What's the other song, Jon? So glad you asked!
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 7:08:36 PM
"Let me tell a story of my situation...I was talkin' to this girl from the U.S. nation."
Lizbot (host) 7:08:52 PM
@Randy Marthins - My husband has regaled me with the story of how Belew was poached from Zappa's band by Bowie and Zappa was PISSED.
Randy Marthins 7:09:28 PM
@dominique - yeah, I found that out too, then asked "what the hell was I watching?" LOL
Carlos Ramone 7:10:05 PM
@Jon..i always think “ pass the tanning butter “ is a great lyric
Randy Marthins 7:10:29 PM
@lizbot "Zappa was PISSED" legend --- airy

I always get lost in the middle of that song and then they come back to it at the end and I remember "oh right, still Marquee Moon"
Randy Marthins 7:16:31 PM
Glad I could help with that segué LOL
Randy Marthins 7:17:35 PM
Is "Whole Of The Moon" on the list? I totally whiffed on that!!!
thomas hatch 7:18:22 PM
I was thinking Whole of the Moon too
Lizbot (host) 7:18:25 PM
The "Then they sang this song": [insert goofy plodding short instrumental here] reminds me of the silly keyboard solo in Genesis' Dodo/Lurker that is meant to be what the dodo say!
Lizbot (host) 7:19:42 PM
@Zach - I love when the anthemic marching synchronized guitars come in near the end of Marquee Moon! Such a nice build to that, and packs greater impact when we gotta wait for it!
DJ Readie 7:23:02 PM
One more pledge to hit 20!! pledge.wprb.com!
Lizbot (host) 7:23:23 PM
@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - I had a quasi-religious experience once driving through the Lincoln Tunnel to Marquee Moon and emerging into Manhattan JUST as those big guitar chords drop near the end!
Lizbot (host) 7:23:43 PM
@thomas hatch - Whole of the Moon also a good one!
DJ Readie 7:23:52 PM
@Lizbot - RADIO MAGIC!
Lizbot (host) 7:24:42 PM
@thomas hatch - ha! Yeah I'm sure Belew didn't live that down for a while! Seems Zappa could hold a grudge!
Zach 7:24:49 PM
@Lizbot, yes this exactly! The main guitar anthem like arises out of the ether of the rest of the song to settle you back into structure again
Lizbot (host) 7:25:49 PM
@Ossy.- I am catching up now, but saw yr comment for 12 or so minutes ago - I know you came to PREX for Record Store Day before! Always a good time!

@Randy - John Zacherley was from GErmantown neighborhood of Northwest Philly, near me!

@Alessandro Medici - svengoolie, Ghoul-a-Go-Go, and Chi-a-Go-Go are all favorites of mine! I once went to a live taping of Chic-a-Go-Go when the Dead Milkmen played it and my then-toddler daughter got up on stage and danced with them!

Richard of Rocky Hill 7:49:30 PM
@ Amy Lee Yes! No stake thru the heart of Elvira but ... Stella and "Saturday Night Dead" from Philly, forever! I did a newspaper article on Stella (actress Karen Scioli) back in the day, a delightful talent. Her only disappointment with the show was, they had guest stars from Zacherley to Bobby Rydell to a Mummers band, but couldn't get notorious former Philly mayor Frank Rizzo to accept their invitation. Ha!
