Morning!

dj deirdre dionysiac! hello! will always tune in for your selections!

What up Deirdre!

MrM! Good to see you in the chat. Nuhmuch TAndy, just a carbon copy of yesterday!

Princeton has cloning access?? Lucky...

chatter "deirdre dionysiac (1)" ....is not what they seem...

You're a copy but also the host... Where's the ORIGINAL?

Morning, deirdre ☕️ lovely to have you in the Barge two days running

Sometimes "I" just sign in and that happens, but then again would i notice whether or not i wake up the really real me on a given day? probably not

Good "horning" Christine!

Plural you say? No, afraid we can only offer singular martial art. Budget cuts you see.

I do sometimes wonder in our skeleton crew summers whether it's all really a handful of DJs under various handles and elaborate handlebar moustaches

Has anyone seen me, Deidre, and Pat from Clamour Club in the same room????? ::twirls moustache::

art of the horn skronk punk flows back through Dana K straight to his clammy hands!

I knew loveless came in yellow...but blue???!?!?!

It's the Korean version!

Bobby made me eat a frog from a comp called too many bunnies sounds exactly like something I would want to hear..... But I'm at work .. shazbot!

Nooooo. Your coworkers needed to hear the inspiring tale of how one man reacts to cutting his own stomach open to retrieve the frog!

Surprisingly, I planned on airing this very song on Friday.

Welp... 🚶‍➡️

lol sorry DTO

i was going through rosasolis' playlists for...reasons...and was reminded of it so she had us both beat

looking for another option…

i may have a similar listening consideration for you if i don't end up fitting it into this set...stand by

ok yeah i'm leaving it out. check out Martin Saint-Pierre's "Global Vibration"

thanks

Amen . Great summer schedule. Returning great shows: Not Truth But Effect with KPC (Wed 10am), Mike Lupica (Tues 7am), Total Tobias (Thurs 12noon), Tomorrow is an Octopus w/Dan R (Fri 10a), Scratchy Vinyl w Tim (Sat 3pm), Habitat Enrichment w Krista (Mon 7am). It is like a time travel machine to 5-6 years ago or so.... PLUS... all one low price, a lot of the usual fave shows as well.

The wizened have been pulled feet first from their retirement to heed the call of the summer conch shell. princeton calls for aid

Good to hear that Z-Rock Hawaii - Ween Boredoms/EYE on the ol fm. That cd was always fetching top dollars on the eBay and such. Like someone involved at the label must have stashed a trove of them or something. It was always up on the private seller sites, not limited qtys or anything. Always available at the way inflated scalper price.

Beauty pipes n winds and clangs here. Good mix

... or there... just ended

that album is about as good as neo-folk gets

ISB fit in just perfectly. The "Brave Brave Sir Robin" pastoral medieval wending through the wood set.

GREAT SHCOTS!

Deirdre, great show (again).

this couplet of songs are lyrically cowboy songs guised in robinhood's garb

I appreciate your input each time Amy, thanks!

May your snot turn to crystal... and save ye from the Wreck of the Arthur Lee

can't believe i let ISB clap and guffaw over that line...it's my favorite!! Used to listen to it in the springtime as my nose poured mucus like a faucet in public

Fortunately we get that last verse almost same as first repeatee

it pains me not to be able to post the crazy world of arthur brown album cover

Oh sorry you are just on abbreviated sub DJ and cannot post the big ol images and gifs I see....

We'll have to imagine them.

Spinal Tap getting their "sun never sweats" title inspired by these lyrics.

haha no it's all good, imagine away! it's actually no longer an option to post pics on the playlist but i think links to bandcamp or discogs pages that have them are all good

this has been a run on 1968 i didn't realize i was putting together

Just now reading Jack Bruce (bass for Cream) bio "Composing Himself" and 68 was quite the year. As are its neighbors.

No more images and gifs at ALL on the playlists???? SORCERY!!! That is a shame

yeppers. i shouldn't speak any more on it but your initial instinct was the right one

that just wrong to the wrongest degree

it's the life straddle as a community station in the present-day landscape

that album blows my socks off every time

ROKY is ROCKY!

Great show today D! This last hour especially didn't sound much different than what G.O. would play for us. Cheers!

my fave 60s records pretty much is what it's been! thx TAndy

Great show Deirdre!

Rocky!

Another GEM of a Show! Many thanks and kind regards to you, dj deirdre dionysiac!

beautiful [in-/con-/per-]version of d.j.g.o's show

lovely just lovely

TMBG!!!

Whistling in the dark!
