hi!

Hi. Thanks for informing me of this: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZM-GqEuq36/

yeeeeeeeeee sup dj esoterica!

Hi David! Thx for posting here!!

hi, michael!

I just popped on the livestream and heard the blue strains of a certain Dirty Harry theme. Nice timing!!

Mr. Mont!

hello esoterica and everybody

Howdy Esoterica and everyone!

Howdy andrew!

hi rob!

The moral of this song: Never trust anyone named Erica!

These Game Theory songs are making me feel younger :-)

haha david, now you know that is not true!

me, too, rob!

I recall the movie "Romeo is Bleeding" was a bit silly. Particularly the scene where Lena Olin tries to strangle Gary Oldman in a leglock.

haha that sounds like i should rent it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYosrTMbpIo

Candy came from out on the island

In the back room

yo, carlos!

hi, randy!

yup

I just looked up the Velvet Underground song "Candy Says". I didn't know it was sung by Doug Yule!

wow!

Was eating dinner and couldn't comment - but I can now: great show!

aw thanks, mr. mont!

Yay wipers twofer

hey jimboooo0

sorry typo!

yes my loves! - i love wipers

Yeoooo Eso 💥💥💥

woot!

Nobody beats you guys for variety of shows and variety within shows. Always something interesting and a little outside my box. Love it!

thanks, appreciate you saying that, Mr. Mont.

it is why i am an avid wprb listener, too!

Time has come today…Ramones version of course

I know the the answer, but I can't use the tickets.

Pee Wee Herman ?

I was thinking who actually HANDED the papers!!! Not, who were the plaintiff

Lenny..from Lenny and the sqigtones?

Oops. Took it back cause I can't go .

who had delivered divorced papers to the set of rosemary's baby in 1967

"Was it .... SATAN??!!!"

i didn't see you answered amy

I just saw it on Svengoolie a few weeks ago, too; so I gonna recuse mysrlf

was he wearing brown?

somebody won!

congrats, michael y!

Then after Mia finished filming, she went to Mahareshi Mahesh Yogi's Rishikesh ashram to hang for a bit with the Beatles, Donovan, Mike Love, etc.

was his prize brown? ;-) (play some Ween: pref. "Big Jilm")

Then she stole André Previn from Dory Previn.

Frank also HATED that haircut

I often get Robert Evans confused with Maurice Evans (Dr Zaius)

ha!

randy, now i know that ain't true.

Well, Maurice WAS in rosemarys baby, so ... I'm allowed

true true!! but i don't recall him in there the actor

maurice evans - was he a part of the evans?

Rosemary's neighbor who jumps to her death early in the movie was played by Victoria Vetri, the 1968 Playmate of the Year who was later sentenced to 9 years for shooting her husband.

this track rips!!

A good trivia would be "when rosemary calls the actor who guy replaced, who was the voice on the phone?"

i forget - what?

🧹🧹🧹💥💥💥

or maybe email me if you want to keep it secret

esotericawprb@gmail.com

@ David - I learned on Svengoolie, when rosemary meets her in the laundry room, she says "you look like Angela Dorian; the actress" and she says "I get that a lot" --- Angela Dorian was her REAL name

agree, michael!

wow, more interesting historical facts, david.

Nah, it's too good to NOT to share; it was Tony Curtis on the phone

oh wow

oh wow, randy about the girl in the laundy room

I highly recommend Svengoolie on the weekly - MeTV, if you have access (#802 on my Xfinity)

Syndicated out of Chicago

i know it but haven't watched - will do - wild looking person

Gwengoolie https://www.instagram.com/pinuppalmer

This is more irreverent than the Fugs' 1967 version of "Hare Krishna".
