"Tiny Sticks" by ESG. Tomorrow is an Octopus Fri Jun 19 with Dan Ruccia on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Hello!

Great show going Dan!

Thanks, Brian! Hope you're having a good Friday

Okay look. I know he said sic semper tyrannis, but I swore I heard six seven tyrannis

Don't tell the preteens

And/or what all the olds were saying about the elementary schoolers back in the fall?

Amazing how in November at basketball games I went to preteens waited to explode when a team got one point after reaching 66 total but come March this was met with near-silence.

A few of the kids on my daughter's soccer team tried to keep it going into the spring, and the rest of the team kinda awkwardly chuckled along like it was such old news

Us older folks got a hold of the funny numbers and it's been uncool since!

I can't hate it though, I still think Markiplier E is hilarious.

Also, hey Jon! Great show so far Dan, just coming back in from some outdoor chores.

Hey hey!

I caught the tail end of your show on Wednesday, but I was still in the throes of waking back up. I'm hoping to get back to an earlier start at work so I can wake up more in time!

It happens to the best of us. Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday.

I'm about to! My early weekend happened to coincide woah the audio

No idea why Betty Davis was just swallowed by a digital monster. Hooray computers!

Her voice got mad crispy

If that was unintentional distortion it sounded kinda fun for a second... but annoying ya

I believe I have heard this on the prb back when 25 yrs ago

Got me bumper stickee this week thank you WPRB!

Hooray!

Ohhh sheeet we are really going

WOOF!

Bad Brains -> Death the perfect 1-2

Damn, clicked away for a minute and missed Bad Brains and Death AND part of Prince. Also heads up that Darryl Jenifer of Bad Brains has a new LP coming out on which he does light jazz versions of "Sacred Love" and "ReIgnition". What a world.

Bumper stickers GOOD.

Great break musics today as aways DanOcto

Still reeling from 2 great shows in past 10 days.... Robyn Hitchcock in Ardmore Pa last Fri with full band, 3 electric guitar so fn good, so many favorites. And Wilco up in Bethlehem at the Steel Stacks, still can't believe they played there and how intimate it was. It's just a tiny bandshell right on a street... walk up and there you are. Unbelievably good 2 sets of light, heavy, explosions, outer space, southern rockin 3 guitar duels etc. They are on fire.

Triple guitar Wilco?? Damn. I did really like that Jeff Tweedy triple album from last year

Yeah been that way for a while now. Jeff does occasionally rip out the electric guitar solos. Nels Cline always ripping it up. And Pat Sansone switches from keyboards to guitar effortlessly. Pat can hold his own with Nels.

They are so great at starting out a song or entire show with just a light acoustic strum, bass, light drums then BLASSTTTT into Sun Ra like explosions knocking your head sideways and then on a dime back into that Americana sound.

Speaking of!

😉

Thanks for tuning in, y'all!

Thanks for the tunes man! Have a good one

Great show Dan!
