Transistor Sister Sat Jul 11 with Krista on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

good evening

Howdy!

Great name this first artist has 😇

ha!! good album name, too

Yup!

Hi Krista! Hi Rob!

Hi Alex!

hello Alex

Transistor Sister with Krista. Works for me.

Rhymes all day

I might need a slight settling down period. I was pre-gaming for CF with Melvins.

This! Now!

Hi Roffle! Yesss!

a nuclear error!

Its unanimous!

Here is almost a mistake.

Hey Krista! Finally a show I'm awake in time for heheh

hi TAndy, Commie, Roffleaphonic

Nuclear errors indeed.

People Under The Stairs (1991) with Ving Rhames

Similar subject as the film Bad Ronald (1974)

I've not seen either, Marcus, what is the premise?

I honestly believe 100.000 years ago this would have been a hit. Pre NYC

Hello Krista! People hidden inside your house

oh hell yeah

I love reading about stories of people who discover hidden areas in mall ceilings and live there for years, less so when I think about people hiding in MY house

I have perhaps thought about living in the walls of people who make tacky updates to well preserved old houses

every day they lay the grey vinyl, every night it gets ripped up

I was maybe 3-5 years off from knowing and hanging with those providence mall apartment people, I hung out in Providence a ton in the 90s and almost did an apartment swap with someone from fort thunder

Laslo Hollyfeld in Real Genius (1985) lived in Val Kilmer's closet

Waiting for the day they convert the old Sears at QB Mall into housing.

now I want some popcorn, Marcus

There's even a swimming pool in the backrooms! That's worth living there alone

TAndy: it's the Spirit Halloween every year

there was a combination DMV and Sears in the mall in Minnesota, best DMV ever

staffed entirely by Millennials, I never had to wait longer than 15 minutes for service and I usually bought a new towel too

TAndy, this was the next song on the playlist!!! an eerie swimming pool song

The Essex County DMV was right next to The Fountains of Wayne garden/outdoor supply center

Hence the band's name

@Marcus sharing space with Spirit wouldn't be too bad. I could set off the motion detector spiders on my way to get breakfast 😊

@TAndy: the back is closed of "employees only" ... there's a pool back there?

Yeah, it used to be a fitness center way back. At least that's what I've always been told.

The hi vis vest hack is played out so I can't just sneak back there with my work outfit if I wanted to check it out

climb inside one of those robotic delivery bots and drive yourself in

@TAndy: it's Spirit Halloween, everybody is working on a 2-week contract, I'm you could slip by

😮

Back in 1992 there was another Ace of Base-like band, also from Sweden

Midi, Maxi, Efti with their hit "Bad Bad Boys"

@Krista I would totally dress up as a delivery bot if not for the risk of getting tipped over and beat up 😭

I've seen what happens to those glorified shopping carts

is this credited or is it another case like Malcolm mclaren ripping off soweto jive songs for bow wow wow?

Stuff lives in our eyebrows. That's a thing.

I'm not sure who came out with it first, Commie, I was listening and noticed they are the same

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-cyclosporiasis-outbreak

There's a parasite that attaches itself to the eye of Greenland sharks. Happens to all of them. They're all mostly blind. Nature is not your friend.

Wash your face and behind your ears. Moms were right!

another one that replaces the tongues of fish but seems kind of useful

I never understood the Fry's worms episode of Futurama; if I had worms that made me a virtuoso I would certainly keep them

Okay thats grosser than anything I know and I work in the pathology department.

The US Navy can recognize fish farts.

Or they should for the money.

I often wondered if whale calls are really teenage whales making odd farts for giggles.

@Alex, I bet the farm they have a sense of humor.

People who eat raw, fresh caught sushi don't know the fish needs to be frozen for 2 weeks to kill the parasites

How does the female detect the tail dance?

dur dur d'etre un oeuf

@Marcus, I worked on a factory ship in the Bering Sea for 5 years on and off. I have seen how it's made. Surimi is not something I would eat. \

@Roffle: they throw the fish in the hold and leave it for weeks until you return to shore?

No

magnetic fields, Alex

It is frozen

maybe the human fish can feel the vibrations of the tail dance

that's fascinating, Roffleaphonic, what kinds of things did you see?

For months in a hold on Japanese s freezer cargo ships.

also the band eggs has a song called it's hard to be an egg but I don't THINK it's a cover of that one

I can't remember how it goes though

Dan Ruccia did an extended egg set a few years ago

I'm always thinking about the leathery eggs from Hatchet

"Say Goodbye to the Ground" appears to be based on the Douglass Adams quote "The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”

Thinking on animal communication. What is cephaolopods are speaking in sentences with their color changes, or if ants doing so with chemicals.

I have many stories Krista. Old age bullshit.

yeah I'm listening now and it's definitely not a cover

fish have a specific dance they do to signal to predators that they are teeth cleaning fish

* What if*

I want a teeth cleaning society.

@Roiffle: Cavity Creeps getting to ya?

Yup

I love my life, but i Have a special relationship with my toothbrush.

Little Richard (1956)

I love Koto

Enjoying the show Krista! Only parasite story to share is how the scene with Bogart and Hepburn with leeches all over their bodies in the movie African Queen really shook me as a yougster.

I got leeches walking in the crick a lot as a child

Did you stop going in the creek?

Magical koto moment. At a conference in Kyoto there was a koto set up on an island in the middle of one of the pools as part of the welcome party. There was a full moon with clouds scudding by. Enchanting.

no

Silly

not you, Alex, lol how rude my response looks! "no" to stopping walking in the crick

my humours were unbalanced Roffleaphonic

Never a worry! I also walked strange waters.

no worries Krista. hard to tell in the chat rooms. Maybe the new executive director will put improving the chat on his to do list.

How does one improve chat?

Krista:what's in the crick: crawfish, crayfish or crawdaddys?

We show up for the smarts. Hard to top this.

On other chats oe can link comments to the songs, or other chatters so the reference is clear.

That was @ roffle.

I am fine with less, which is more for me Alex, but that is just me. I am here for the music really. I Love where it go and takes me.

Weasels Ripped my Flesh?

Can we have a parasite of the day?

that was the loa loa TAndy

eye worm

Mommy's belly buffet? Funny!

Guessing early 60s. 1963.

All of 1967 is all I got.

Production wise.

@Roffle just before the Vietnam War started going bad and the music turned dark

That has Creedence

I mean as a regular feature! That's double the animal to look forward to lol

bleh TAndy

I'll consider a worm of the day

a segment, as it were

Nyuk! helminthes humor

Certified worm moment

https://tenor.com/blbnu.gif

This style was called "businessman's bounce" in the U.S.

@ Tandy Ha!

This is the light and fresh style I used to hear on Girlflop, very nice

RIP Bonnie Tyler.

Sweet darkness comes in fr==French. lol

The song everybody liked but pretended they didn't

OK,I am popping onto the chat to ask who else has seen the German rock musical Tanz der Vampire which also uses TEotH...

I've been watching The Vampire Lestat, that's as close as I've gotten.

I guess maybe A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is also a vampire rock movie

I feel like vampires are having their moment in the ... er ... dark

"Thriller" with Michael Jackson directed by John Landis is another

anyway the German thing is on YouTube & is precisely the camp you'd predict

Not, not wearing yurtle necks depending on the occation.

that sounds great Alastair

also, more worm facts, plz. I am putting the phone down now. Thank you for the enrichment, as always, Krista.

Gosh! This is good!

from Brussels!

Brilliant!

Clean, snappy, bright...keep 'em coming

haha! I didn't remember this song had the lyrics "shine a light behind the stair: remember what might be behind there"

beautiful kismet

JAM alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Habibi Funk in the house

Might kismet, no dollars on the table at the moment.

This show has made my Saturday Night. Excellent job Krista

i've got a couple of quarters is that cool?

Pony up TAndy! lol

TAndy feeding those quarters into the mechanical horse outside the grocery store

dropped my last one :[

Hey now! I became a man on those things! LOL

great saturday radio! was tuned in the last hour on the pa turnpike. the album art alone on this one!

this is my favorite driving song

The PA Turnpike is sometimes terrifying, Been there, done that.

This is a worthy cruse song.

I love the back roads of America. This fits.

i was going west to east traffic was lite till 476 merge.

when i pulled into my drive the iss was flying over. but there was cloud in the area.

next fly over is at 12:03, but it gonna be low to the horizon.

this is space station music 100

ha, for sure it is

if they are not listening to this on the iss then they are doing it wrong.

Thanks for the show Krista! Hope to catch you on Monday

Thanks Krista. Enjoyed the show, parasites and all!

Also Nah Roff that song was made for cutting up in traffic haha

JAMOR JAM ALERT 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Keeping the typo.

I have the original Irene Cara album vinyl with the shrink wrap and hype sticker intact

jarmor in finnish means "brave"

lol, me out in the world next time a hot song comes on out loud, JAMOR!

This is really good!

I love not knowing the language.

Cool dimension

This show was one of the all time greats. Thanks Krista!

glad to hear it, Marcus. My normal show is Mondays from 7-10am.
