Hello, all you chatty people. It's gonna be a quick three hours.

So glad The Guy That Sings Your Name Over and Over returned!!

As promised👏👏👏👏

I have recently learned that song has been played over 100 times.It needed a rest.

Yeah, I gotta dive deeper in Wild Pink

Sounds like a plan, Amy

This is fun

More fun on the way.

Lead sounds like James Hetfield a bit

A bit, yup.

Enjoying this show a lot!

Thanks, Bike R

I use the sausage metaphor many times.just enjoy the end result

I'm gonna say Calvin

Yup sounded like Calvin right off the bat

yes, Calvin - who needs google when we have PRB listeners

And the band Touch Girl Apple Blossom gets their name through the lyrics to Calvin / Beat Happening's song "Indian Summer" (covered by Luna and often in Luna's setlists).

thanks, mentioned on air

The most fun!

that's the goal, Kelly

pick it up pick it up

i got to see Catbite and LJG cover that album. Epic.

nice

The genre hopping has begun :)

It's in my mantra. I have no choice.

What a nice piece of songlyness. :)

I know, right

this set kinda matches the weather

Alt weather

Totally matches the weather. Raining hard here in Philly

Trademark that, Roff

Haha, yeah @Roffleaphonic -- alt!

Hold tight, Bike R

I'm an open source kinda guy.

Yass! I detect a shift to a more Positronix universe!

responded to these on air

Thanks to the on-air shout out!

Caught that. :)

I try

We appreciate it, @John Tobias

Good afternoon everyone

Oh boy. Linguistics strikes again. I KNOW the proper pronunciation, but it's always crown, carmel & crick (creek) for me.

Hi Rob, tones of rain here today

Philly has world-class local stuff.

I have at least one more Philly band today

Wow, no rain here. Yet

Amy, this is where we part paths

I will try to avoid these words to keep the peace.

Uncanny Danzig stylings

Yes little bit of Ian Astbury / Cult too

Glen must have been aware of of TSOL

same for Ian

They all did it so great

true, I love 'em all

these guys are Philly, too

I love list building! Thanks for the data.

We are multifaceted here, thanks

You even sort and fold!

Agreed

@John Tobias, I looked at my weather sites and goodness, some areas up your way have gotten a **** ton of rain in the past 3 hours!!

yes, I'm mildly concerned about my path home

I would be too!

Good luck with your trip home!!

Galoshes could be in order.

I hope not. I will avoid the flood prone roads though

Today strikes me as a good day to listen to traffic reports over the radio (if you have them) instead of relying on Google Maps or apps

True

I tend to keep a weather radar screan open on these kinda days myself Rob. On the road it's the weather broadcast channels for sure.

sounds like a plan

These sets are killin' it John!

thanks, I actually plan this stuff out

Roffle, excellent!

Tasteful selections find a way... :)

Yes to all. Tough to keep up with this chat!

True

Appreciate the all the wheat from the chaff business.

The sheer volume of music is daunting.

third hour will be equally daunting musically speaking

Straight up from the distillery.

Rockabilly in Glenside, PA this Sat. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558985540519

sets been great! last hour catching my ear a bunch!

It's not gonna stop, Michael

Amy, mentioned on air

Rev Horton & Messer Chuips are playing Frenchtown NJ in a few months.

great combo

Thx John. Welcoming environment at the VFW - Good people & always a good time. Regular thing, usu third Sat of the month - various bands.

good to know, thanks

Great show Jon, ty. Have a safe and dry drive home!!

Thanks Rob

Peace ✌️

back at you

Thanks for the always excellent show John!

Sure thing, Amy, thanks for tuning in

Thank you Mr. Tobias

You're welcome Roff and the global masses
