w/u commie francis!

Sup Commie and Mike G!

whooot whoooot it is COMMIE F !!! on D AIRWAAAAVES )))))))))))))) yipeeeeee

y0y0 tandy!

yoyo saturday crew getting locked in!

That jump scared me hahaha

me too!!

packing it in early

i'm having.... not exactly a tech issue more of a human issue. that is making my process different from normal

Hi Commie Francis and crew!

and hi everyone thanks for the enthusiastic welcome!

Getting a Say Goodbye to Hollywood vibe off Liisa....

I'll show myself out now.

✌✌✌✌👍!!

Que Bono caught my attention, thank you Commie!

their hit is "making noise"! playing the que bono deep tracks over here

and alex i think that's valid!

i remember years ago seeing a zine with a panel from bloom county of opus floating in an inner tube in the middle of the ocean thinking "on the whole i'd rather be in philadelphia". which i think is a wc fields quote. i'm not sure if it's altered, i actually looked for it once (i remember the opus lost at sea storyline and have it in a book) but couldn't find it

i learned about the comp way later. great comp though

If I'm remembering this correctly the WC fields quote were his last request to a lynch mob.

i actually know who made the zine and could ask him but i never remember when i have the opportunity

Diggin the punk cadence in the Gee Tee. Is there a name for it? I hear it so often.

I have a mint condition copy of "I'd Rather Be in Philadelphia" that I haven't played in decades. TBH, I was into hardcore for amusement purposes only. Loved going to live shows, but never reach for the music to play in my home.

commie .. have you been archiving [mixcloud] ??? .. .. !!! .. TNXXX

(no pressure) .. .. X!

no!! i was hanging with a friend in nyc and saw i haven't updated since february! BUT i have been organizing the recordings and hopefully will be posting soon.

👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍AWESOM news for my BRAIN + ❤ !!!

that nyc thing needs more context, he was excitedly showing some other people my show and i was like geeeez i thought i at least got to march!

aiee

lol, commie be like, gotcha again!!!

Was a spell just cast on us?

mmmaybe

I really want to know whats being said here.

when i saw them the singer translated one of their song titles as "i feel like womiting all day"

Ha! Sounds more profound when it's a mystery.

not this one though. but it gives you an idea

howdy (1) (host)

And all others in attendance

haha i can never get rid of that (1) from one time i was in the chat both on my phone and on a computer

YEARS ago

whatever computer code jim just wrote it turned my computer into a jam of jam for half a second there. it's back now

the keys are a little sticky now.

jim (1) hax0r

if i can get my shit together someday clem and i will do a transatlantic duet on "the partisan" by leonard cohen

ji(ht)m(l)

lol so you were the one tagging that all over jersey!

All my friends named Clem are just great

also, jims new 2020's artist name

man now i'm regretting not playing the lankum black metal side project that somehow sounds just like lankum

i feel like pivoting to black metal side projects is always a good pivot.

This is nasty goood

My dentist was telling me about her black metal side project I'm like go, black metal dentist, go!

i do need a new dentist🤔....

f systems had my bopping for sure. this too!

such an excellent band!

from discogs "the name of the band means "greasy octopus" or "lake of oil"

well this greasy octopus or lake of oil is ok with me

🛢️🐙

Evening commy

hiya ossy!

i haven't listened to the whole album yet, but all signs point to, it's a ripper! oop song ended, the alien nosejob

that was the second track off the record i've heard

Digging Nick Storring Bryn!

Bandcamp says this is a limited edition casette, only 100... or 99 since you have it.

yep, 95 people have bought it on bandcamp although they may not have all bought the cassette

What a sick JAM ALERT 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 as soon as I open my work laptop

Still gotta check out the new Alien Nosejob, sausage meat was sick af

yeah i love hc alien nosejob!

poision girls is one of those bands where i come running to the compy to see who is this jam, and once again it is PG

I love how it costs 69 cents more than the cost of the record just to ship it haha

logistics rates are no joke rn

I had to stop mass ordering records from NL and UK because of the shipping costs during covid. Better for my wallet but not my gabber and hardstyle collections lol

money spent on gabber and hardstyle is not real money. all budgets begin after gabber and hardstyle monies have been spent.

(and tacos)

siyahkal is sick!

This song is the last thing you hear before you get swept up by the moshpit maelstrom

Thx commie gotta get up early to pick strawberries

gn jim! have fun in magical world of morning strawberries.

🍓 🧙

night jimbo!

Good night Jimbo!

Jesus what a set!

alex, heck yeah!!
