John Tobias (host) 12:03:48 PM
Once again, I forgot to mention, the chat is on. Hello rock and rollers.
Amy Lee 12:10:50 PM
Good afternoon John, the bringer of rock. The cover of that Mike D True Colors is a textile dream.
John Tobias (host) 12:12:03 PM
yeah, I liked that cover, too.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 12:20:52 PM
Good afternoon, John and Amy
John Tobias (host) 12:23:32 PM
Hi there, Rob
David Shortell 12:25:00 PM
Oso Oso plays tonight at Crossroads: https://eventbrite.com/e/oso-oso-w-last-minet-roe-knows-best-tickets-1987947830475
John Tobias (host) 12:25:48 PM
What town is that? If I open this it will take me forever to get back to this spot
John Tobias (host) 12:27:30 PM
Garwood, got it
John Tobias (host) 12:27:49 PM
will mention on air, thanks
John Tobias (host) 12:55:38 PM
yeah, I picked this song because of the Shakin' All Over vibe
David Shortell 1:03:34 PM
I wonder what Johnny Kidd & the Pirates thought about it.
John Tobias (host) 1:03:56 PM
or their lawyers
Amy Lee 1:11:37 PM
Heading out & looking forward to the twang while driving. Or shoegaze. Or twee. It's all good.
John Tobias (host) 1:12:58 PM
It'll be a great ride - my guess. Thanks
David Shortell 1:15:40 PM

ty John for the deary and for the shoutout! I will listen to their Birding album on Bandcamp when your show is over
John Tobias (host) 1:19:06 PM

John Tobias (host) 1:19:24 PM
David, adding to the set list notes, thanks

John Tobias (host) 1:23:24 PM
adding, thanks
Rob from Maryland 🦀 1:39:17 PM
Thank you for playing Florence Road. Someone told me about them last week but I couldn't remember the name
John Tobias (host) 1:39:54 PM
That's why we're here.
David Shortell 1:55:45 PM
For a moment I thought that was the Mother Earth singer, but no. It's "Tracey" with an "e".
John Tobias (host) 1:56:26 PM
the "e" matters
David Shortell 1:57:23 PM
Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers sound nothing like Teenage Jesus and the Jerks.
John Tobias (host) 2:01:38 PM
true, mentioned on air
Rob from Maryland 🦀 2:19:40 PM
Fastbacks!!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 2:27:32 PM
Hopefully my townhouse neighbors didn't hear me singing along ever more loudly to the Fastbacks song
David Shortell 2:28:13 PM
I missed out on the Fastbacks. I did get to see Kim Warnick in some other group at Maxwell's once. Visqueen, maybe?
John Tobias (host) 2:33:05 PM
Nice
michael gudgeon 2:33:34 PM
been here most of the show great stuff as always john!
John Tobias (host) 2:34:03 PM
Thanks Michael. I'm enjoying it, too.
Yo-Yo Mok 2:38:02 PM
oh my the new Bouncing Souls sounds grrreat
John Tobias (host) 2:38:06 PM

John Tobias (host) 2:39:05 PM
Saturday actually
John Tobias (host) 2:41:08 PM
well, I might go Saturday pending on life. Saw them plenty of times.
Yo-Yo Mok 2:41:53 PM
I saw 50+ bands last weekend. I need some sleep lol.
Yo-Yo Mok 2:43:44 PM
even with Clownvis in town tonight
John Tobias (host) 2:43:48 PM
your ears need a rest
Yo-Yo Mok 2:44:58 PM
that too. After the acts were done people played around the campfire until the sun came up every night. I had to (barely) sleep with ear plugs in.
John Tobias (host) 2:46:27 PM
you gotta do what works
Yo-Yo Mok 2:49:17 PM
hey new Bouncing Souls :)
Yo-Yo Mok 2:50:04 PM
they are up there with Face to Face in longevity.
John Tobias (host) 2:50:29 PM
one of my faves - tbh
Yo-Yo Mok 2:53:25 PM
School Drugs is touring with the Souls. SD is fantastic..and the lead singer looks like Tom Cruise.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 2:53:57 PM
Thx for today's show, John! I hope I can catch next week's show
John Tobias (host) 2:54:10 PM
YoYo - that's a good selling point.
John Tobias (host) 2:54:46 PM
Rob, put it in your schedule - 250 years in the making.
Yo-Yo Mok 2:55:38 PM
oo yeah i have to work 7/2. Ill be tuned in 🤘
John Tobias (host) 2:56:14 PM
good
David Shortell 2:57:25 PM
I've known Josh Jurk for years. The resemblance to Tom Cruise never occurred to me!
Yo-Yo Mok 2:59:40 PM
he could def be Tom for halloween
