good evening ladies and germs

Dana!

Hello hello!

Roffle and Richard! Greetings

Hello Dana!

Hi again Marcus!

Next time we gotta play some Justin Hinds and the Dominoes

I'll definitely be doing another reggae show at some point. Had so much fun with that.

Marbled Eye is also good

D K. Dana Kong. D K. Dana Kong is here!

Hello. Hullo. Hello.

Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells

Ello

OMG, I forgot it was Friday again. Safest place to be is right here.

If she shoots ya, it's gonna hurt.

Stefan, your thumbnail reminds me of the Rentals "Friends of P."

That was probably a much more expensive suit.

If we're taking post-punk requests, I like Clown Karma by Punching Swans.

I also would like to punch Michael Gira

This is good! Might be a little noisier than what I have planned. I'll see what I can do.

Don't feel obligated.

Big ups

What's the Swans band I like? Laughing Swans?

Punk is so nurturing.

I like the Wild Swans

whoa... off to an incredible start tonight!

Moping Swans

The GBV side project

Hi Andrew! Thank you!

Mope Grooves (RIP Stevie Pohlman)

Mope City

Big mop ups!

thought that was career oppurtunity

What a cool band

I've never been a big Poison Ruin fan but I am really enjoying this

Oh hell yeah

No tears for the creatures of the night, no tears

Creatures of the night get the express lane to the Bar-B-Que.

This band sounds like the March Violets, same era

Good riffs.

I have the distinguished ability to speak without interruption while my voice is played back to me. Rare ability.

Anyone going to Philly VegFest tomorrow speaking of Philly?

reverb it;'s a bitch

Gothjacent

Play some Northern Liberties

VegFest? Sounds like a side to the Creatures of the night.

Ugh I'm HUNGRY. Luckily I have a box of key lime tea cookies...

I thought Tuxedomoon's Creatures of the Night were hookers but Screaming Dead seems to point to the undead

What dimension did you pull those out of Dana? LOL

The cookies or Screaming Dead?

They're from Trader Joe's!

is this the singer who wears the silver wrestling mask

But a valid ask

@andrew, you talking about Positronix? I've only seen them once and she wasn't wearing a mask at the time.

Silver mask sometimes, yes

thank you yoni

Santo mask?

i saw them at jb's a few years ago. they were fun

How is that not Killing Joke?!

All these bands today brining that underground 80's sound back with such precision amazes me, accurate but not caricature

Agreed, Marcus.

You're leading the pack Dana!

I need to make it a point to catch Shrudd the next time they come through

They played recently, didn't they?

At least once a year for the last three or four, yeah

Love this.

Added the whole album to Bandcamp.

They're Hungarian!

Watching them take Trump's name off the Kennedy Center. Feels good and loud.

Hungary? Eat some key lime tea biscuits.

I like Shrudd's easily searchable name.

Hi Jim!

@Roffle, yes, that is healing

Hi Dana!

Another new band I like!

Trump's name off the Kennedy Center, DBTF back on the schedule... things are looking up

IKR?

FDT

USA 1 PAR 0

That's the stuff

That LAZ track was smmmmokin

Christian Death!

glad your back Dana in your regular time slot, place didnt feel the same without you

thank you starfield! it feels good to be back!

listening from Cali BTW

Ayy it's Es! Love this song.

Do you know how to pronounce their name, Stefan? I've never figured it out

that bass tone is so good

No idear.

That was way too much blood

better too much than not enough

"Mesh and lace" is a prominent lyric in their big hit "I melt with you"

I am listening to dbtf whilst making ice cream and engaging in light woodworking

what kind of ice cream?

I was working out and am now playing OoT on a handheld emulator.

Which emulator?

Vanilla with fresh strawberries

Ayn Odin 2

That guitar is shredding

Shredded out

Done been can't shred no more

shredded too close to the sun :(

Sun melted my mozzarella wings

Shredded mozz is versitile.

Penii, her little head clinking like a barrel of red velvet balls

"[I] Missed the Bus" was a song that almost ended Kris Kross'es career. Jon probably remembers

What a great band

I don't know how you do it so often Dana, but you find works that I have to love going forward. So cool.

i'm so happy to hear that!

Dana K is the one and only

Me too. :)

Dana K is #1 for friday nights

aw SHUCKS

Hi TAndy!

Hi! Been tuned since 9:30, for some reason my radio at home didn't feel like shaking off the static...

I've been listening a lot today TAndy, bu everything online for me has been pretty good. But Issues abound I guess.

i blame the humidity

Good call!

we've been having some technical issues at the transmitter recently - luckily they haven't affected my show! i think there's going to be a big fix late tonight.

Glad there's a fix! I had a rude interruption by a corporate station in York, PA that's also 103.3 this week in the car.

Mike and his duct tape night...

Oh sweet! My car radio was able to tune in fine, so I think it may have just been my bedside radio getting angry again

happy birthday barry adamson! (it was yesterday)

Is that the first version of "Shivers"?

I believe it is yes

Neat

Isn't Cedar Grove, NJ the Radon capitol of the world. Some old watch factory being there

Keep your John ... Peeled? Hrm. Maybe not.

Horrific

*Oy

Essex Country Radon is a good name

Thanks for the tunes tonight! See you next week at the start this time 😄

Thank you all! I've already got quite a few things lined up for next week, should be a fun show

thank you dana k!!

Looking forward to it! Be safe and sound! Thanks so much.

This tune rips the fabrics

It's gonna get cut off but you can listen to the whole thing at https://radonabatement.bandcamp.com
