The Sonic Bloom Tue Jul 14 with Esoterica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

hi!

Hello Esoterica! Missed you last week but so good to hear SBW!

Hi, Amy Lee!

Love Sonny Boy's selections

Bad Bastille day for the French but at least they still have the bike race

hey Carlos!

did they lose? sorry - out of it

Yes, they did lose

shangri-la nice! 🎵

Nobody that I talk about soccer with myself included saw that coming

spain has let up only one goal all tourney tho

hey Riley!

Thx! Glad you like Riley

welcome back!

george

this is some of his best post beatle stuff

oh yeah:)

clapton on guitar a bit too

wow yes

OK. The other day I heard "stuck in the middle with you" and the DJ said it was a Bob Dylan parody song that somehow became their (Stealer's Wheel) biggest hit. Is this true???

never heard that before but maybe...that was gerry rafferty's band no?

idk, Joseph but great story!

Wash are awesome

agree, Amy Lee!

wow haven't heard voight/465 in years

your late 70's early 80s punk vibes are awesome Esoterica

a product of my era, Riley!

thx!

back in those days PRB was the ONLY place to hear this stuff unless you bought the records

@Joseph Howard, the wiki for the song "Stuck In The Middle" says what your dj said

I did not know that at all

hey Rob, me neither!

And hi everyone!

so who were the clowns to the left of him or the jokers to the right?

hi rob

@Riley "Rafferty's lyrics are a dismissive tale of a music industry cocktail party (the clowns and jokers would be all the music executives and hangers-on), written and performed as a parody of Bob Dylan's style"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuck_in_the_Middle_with_You

oh, cool, rob. thx

oh kinda like billy joel was doin jagger when he did the song big shot

I didn't know that either haha

i knew he wrote it about bianca but didnt know he wrote it for mick til he said it in an interview

"In a moment, we will hear from Matt Stevens who hates buttermilk... " I LOVE Chrome!!! I especially love the little snippets of TV commercials that poke through the songs and sound like they were in fact recorded by Damon and Helios as they were watching middle-of-the-night TV! STUPENDOUS show so far, @E -- and as always! 💛🧡❤️❤️‍🔥

oh, interesting

@Esoterica, you are making us feel 45 years younger. We have lost weight, regained hearing, our hair is no longer gray, ...

hell yeah lol

lol yes!!!!

I am in for that! Cocoon style

Hi DJ Esoterica!

howdy, kelly!

i can fit into my old jeans again!

ha!

can go see great bands for 10 bucks again! oh the 80s

wahoo!

@Riley, heck yeah!

I love those snippets from tv, too, T! Great song

and hi, everyone who just popped into the chat

We're still in the 70s!! Let us STOP HERE

yes!

best decade of music imo

This is still is and always has been an Amazing album

so true

on both counts Riley and rob

Riley, yes, especially if you were there at the time!

yes me and all my grey hair was there lol

yup!

this is a great vibe tonight, think i'll cue up some Clash vinyl for 8:00

oh yeah

the great Bryan Ferry...saw these guys live for the Avalon album tour

man that must have been great

Esoterica, did you get the thing I left for you?

yes thx!

hi, jon

Sweet. Thanks for confirming!

Sup y'all

yo, Sammy!

I was listening to your show on my little walk.UwU ya show gave me some pep in my step

nice, Sammy!

now we are taking it a down a notch:)

Hey I'm fine with that 🙂

:)

I never hear any radio play of George Harrison's first solo record, the soundtrack album for the Jack MacGowran/Jane Birkin movie 'Wonderwall".

Green Rocky Road was definitely not written by Van Morrison ha

right!!??

hi bri

I think it is an old traditional song

As were well into the lawn-mowing fighting season (I'm vehemently against it), my husband is convinced I put a hex on the lawnmower as it died on him minutes after he started mowing. Apparently, I am that powerful.

Anything that has Van's name on it is a typo or a joke.

haha Amy lee

ha, bri

Thx, everyone!

It's been fun, as always.

Thank you so much for your great set an I will be on the look out for that new place

Aw thanks, Sammy.

Late listening Eso, 20 minutes of Esoterica is better than no Esoterica!

UwU no prob

aw thanks IConJohn!

thanks for the vibes Esoterica! 🎵

sure thing, Riley!
