Hidden Lands Wed Apr 29 with Dan Ruccia on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Testing, testing. Is this thing on? Greetings people of WPRB. Please be advised that I have taken over these hidden lands for the next approximately 3 (three) hours.

Hi!

You signed the waiver Dan?

Or is this a brute force entry? lol

Hey hey Dan!

@roffle: Signed, initialed, notarized, thumb printed, eyeball scanned, and everything

Hi TAndy and Rob!

The Legal Dept is a MF...

More like WPRBureocracy, amiright?

Not my Department. Dunno. LOL

I'm just glad they can glace sideways at the appropriate moment.

And yea, this is great btw. Look away if you must, but never listen away.

That's someone elses job.

Jen's Italy punk show reminded me how much I love Uzeda (not that I needed to be reminded)

I bounced out to go do a river ride on Friday. But I miss all kinds of things. I believe there might be a pattern across time, but I have no idea what time is unless I am told by someone or some device. Otherwise it's a mythical beast.

OR on a music score...

That seems like a great reason to miss some radio! (Don't worry, I won't tell HR)

Thanks, those guys flagged and tagged me for shoelaces years ago.

whoa baby sick song

@Michael, Carla Bozulich always brings it. Saw her with that band in 2006 and it was pretty mind melting

RIP Asha. Thank you, Dan, for playing these songs

Hey Rob, Harold and Maude are back and eating fish up on the old coal pier superstructure. Harold says hi to me again after last year. Fly's over me and tips around over me. I fucking swear. Come out to Treaty Park, and I would love to show you. Just sayin. Wear a feather in your cap and I will know you.

Ah, that's where that black eyed peas sample came from...

Early evenings are boss.

lmao was thinken the same think tandy!

thing*

Is the original Chronos Quartet dead yet?

Hey Roffle, I'm glad your friends are back. I don't think I can make it up your way any time soon, sadly.

@Roffle: Amazingly, I think 3 of the 4 original members are still at it. The cellist has changed a few times this century, but the others are still playing, I'm pretty sure

I don't fucking know these things. That's why I am here. :)

Just remember they ain't spring chickens.

Yeah, they're oooooooooold

Basically aways knew about hem in my time frame.

With lots of love

Don't know from Fred or Bob.

@TAndy and Michael: Wikipedia confirms Black Eyed Peas sampled that last Asha Bhosle song in "Don't Phunk with My Heart"

No who's make that group

This is hella sick man, saving this track for later too

They're on tour right now! Coming northeast next week!

No worries Rob. Time is a never ending story.

Sorry for so much bla, bla, bla. Just enjoying good music and brilliant folks. Glad to be here.

All good, Roffle! Glad to have you here!

Appreciated. Correct things make me sound.

At least what I can get.

RIP Michael Yonkers.

(Just saw it official via Drag City.)

Moving along again, but not without. Gifts given.

RIP Michael Yonkers. Sad that this is how I learned about his music

Yeah, he made some truly wild stuff. I mostly know this album (originally from like 1970?), but I've heard that his later stuff is also nicely unhinged

(Also this is one of the truly great guitar explosions on record)

JAM ALERT 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Could have been in Kronos. Just sayin'

He blew out their eardrums when he used too much distortion so he had to leave

That's another way to leave. :)

I sorta prefer that method.

The death thing is a bit much.

Waits! PLEASE! Thank you!

This is awesome!!

It really is. Such a good use of his now super duper gravelly voice

I did not expect that kind of mix.

From Waits

Just me

Nah! Not just me! lolo

hi Dan

Hey Ossy!

Wow, this is gravel yell rock in an early form.

Now they do switch and bait melodic themes and then yell the fuck out of you until the melodic bridge. I have issues with that format. It's bad bullshit formula. If you like it, good for you.

The Decius was in the style of progressive house :)

Do like me that Decius record. Gonna probably get the Vol. 1 and 2 collection on Bandcamp Friday

It's finally almost here

I mean anyone who ever Dan, not you for presenting.

@Roffle: I suppose you gotta let a guy catch his breath before he shreds his vocal chords some more? That would be the tech/death version of Dino Jr or something?

@TAndy I totally put together a list of things I need to pick up just while prepping for this show....

Sorry Dan, I am on it! I really am, working on it at least, but without the likes of you this shit goes undiscovered. People that breathe getting to inhale this is a thing.

They just get it as they go down the Turnpike.

Sometimes

I love imagining the person turning on WPRB, getting Dinosaur Jr, saying "I like this" only to get slapped in the face with Renaissance polyphony two songs later. It's why I love doing shows here and love all y'all who stick around for the ride!

Thanks for the show Dan, nice to hear ya on the airwaves again :)

Thanks, TAandy! Always a pleasure to be here

Thx much!

Love goes all over.
