Hello Hello!
Number 6 5:00:58 PM
Greetings!
Lizbot (host) 5:01:49 PM
Hi Number ^!
Number 6 5:01:50 PM
I got a good sleep last night after a long day.
Lizbot (host) 5:03:54 PM
@Number 6 - Good to see you last night! Thanks for coming out!
Jon Solomon 5:03:55 PM
Lizbot, did you pick up the thing I left ya?
Lizbot (host) 5:05:11 PM
@Jon Solomon - I have not. I ran into Vier out front and we talked about Berlin techno in the wildfire smoke until it was time for me to go in, so it slipped my mind! But I set my phone to remind me to pick it up on the way out, and I'll send you confirmation when I do!
Jon Solomon 5:05:29 PM
Word. Thank ya!
Lizbot (host) 5:05:47 PM
Berlin Techno In the Wildfire Smoke - easily a new compilation
Number 6 5:07:49 PM
Berlin Techno could almost be my middle name!
Lizbot (host) 5:09:40 PM
@Number 6 - There is a podcast called Search Engine, hosted by Philly area native PJ Vogt, that dedicated two episodes to a deep-dive into the History of Berlin Techno.
Number 6 5:10:06 PM
Cool!
Roffleaphonic 5:11:09 PM
Is this some kind of new fangled music again? I suck at hitting the refresh button since it makes me sign in all day. :)
Number 6 5:12:01 PM
I always have 2 spinitron tabs open.
Roffleaphonic 5:12:36 PM
That's my #6!
Number 6 5:12:42 PM
1 for the chat and 1 for the playlist.
Lizbot (host) 5:12:50 PM
The episodes are called "Why Didn't Chris and Dan Get Into Berghain?" Parts 1 & 2. Honestly, Part 2 is far more interesting. Part 1 is anecdotal - 2 american friends misadventures trying to get into notoriously exclusive techno club Berghain in former East Berlin. Part 2 is more about the history of the music itself, tracing back to Germans becoming fascinated with certain underground Detroit Techno radio shows
Number 6 5:12:55 PM
Dig it!
Lizbot (host) 5:13:09 PM
Hi Roffleaphonic!
Lizbot (host) 5:14:24 PM
They actually have an official in Berlin government whose entire job is liaison between city government and techno clubs specifically
Lizbot (host) 5:14:56 PM
@Roffleaphonic - Probably the new Greg Hatem is what you were referring to!
Roffleaphonic 5:14:57 PM
@6, I have three screens and one is basically music devoted and I catch the chat when the music moves me too. :)
Roffleaphonic 5:18:16 PM
I really don't remember names so much as music Lizbot.
Roffleaphonic 5:19:03 PM
Mybe a producer on an epic album, but that's it.
Lizbot (host) 5:20:08 PM
@Roffleaphonic - Ah yes! It seems at this point all my screens are dedicated to music, but especially my home desktop and studio laptop. The home desktop is oooooold and dying and has a huge amount of my MP3s on it, so I am slowly in the process of trying to save everything on there - tricky given it will not connect to "the cloud", and it crashes when hooked up to external drives. It's been a lengthy process!
Roffleaphonic 5:22:39 PM
Wow Lizbot! You are in need of full backup!
Number 6 5:22:47 PM
This is where I get my used laptops, 1 year warranty too. https://discountelectronics.com/
Roffleaphonic 5:23:33 PM
I am throwing away my used laptops once I gut them. :)
Lizbot (host) 5:24:43 PM
@Roffleaphonic - Yeah, I need to send this thing to the computer graveyard once I extract everything. I also have a ton of old photos not available anywhere else, including most of my 17 year-old's baby photos - that's how old the computer is!
Roffleaphonic 5:24:53 PM
How much data are you looking at Lizbot?
Lizbot (host) 5:25:31 PM
@Number 6 - Good to know (re: discountelectronics)!
Number 6 5:26:43 PM
I get the 1 T byte ones since I fill them up with mostly music.
Roffleaphonic 5:27:30 PM
I would say just buy something stupid big if you can possibly afford that these days. And do the lot!
Roffleaphonic 5:28:10 PM
Then get busy
Number 6 5:29:42 PM
A while ago I got a used 4 T byte external drive off of discount electronics for $100, works great!
Lizbot (host) 5:29:48 PM
@Number 6 - The problem is my desktop crashes when I hook up external hard drives to it at this point. I also have had too many external drives fail in the past, so I need to put all my digital music in the cloud and have a couple of backups, but it will take an astronomical amount of time and I have only gotten through the songs starting in numbers and part of the A songs
Roffleaphonic 5:30:04 PM
Honestly, i don't know know if you have a day job, which complicates shit all the time.
Roffleaphonic 5:31:35 PM
Pull the drive and put it in another system and copy the drive if it's not encrypted, no problem.
Number 6 5:31:53 PM
Every time I fill up thumb drives I just by more when I fill them up.
Roffleaphonic 5:32:03 PM
Drive or drives...
Number 6 5:32:52 PM
*buy.
Roffleaphonic 5:33:04 PM
The problem with thumbdrives is you should plug them in from time to time or they will degrade.
Roffleaphonic 5:34:59 PM
Same for most solid-state currently.
Roffleaphonic 5:35:22 PM
Could be years, or....
Lizbot (host) 5:38:09 PM
@Roffleaphonic - I might just do that (pull the drive). I have so much work and writing and photos on there, but the amount of music on there worries me, some of it no longer available or music I burned from a vinyl to MP3 set-up I had access to a long time ago
Roffleaphonic 5:38:29 PM
Cheap 4 gig HDD's got stupid expencive latley.
Roffleaphonic 5:40:36 PM
I don't know if you have means Lizbot, but if you do, don't chance fate. Fate is known to fuck around.
Roffleaphonic 5:43:07 PM
"Fate is known to fuck around" should be a George song.
Lizbot (host) 5:43:41 PM
@Number 6 - I used to use thumb drives frequently, but they are only good for transferring relatively small amounts of data. These days I use file transfer sites like WeTransfer or Google Drive to transfer relatively small amounts of data I would have previously done with a thumb drive
Roffleaphonic 5:44:26 PM
AI thanks you for your uploads...
Lizbot (host) 5:44:59 PM
@Roffleaphonic - yeah, a lot of this stuff degrades, unfortunately
Number 6 5:45:22 PM
I think that all of the $$$ going into computers for data centers has driven up the HD prices.
Lizbot (host) 5:45:46 PM
@Roffleaphonic - It does sound like a George lyric
Roffleaphonic 5:46:18 PM
@Lizbot, IKR?
Lizbot (host) 5:47:08 PM
@Roffleaphonic - Things Fall Apart, part 100,000,000, especially technology, which is usually rendered obsolete before it even gets a chance to degrade.
Roffleaphonic 5:47:15 PM
@Number 6, OMG, they hogged up all the chips!
Roffleaphonic 5:48:51 PM
I hear ya Lizbot. It was old before we even hear about it.
Lizbot (host) 5:49:18 PM
And now streaming servers are "sunsetting" previously-purchased-to-own digital movies, tv shows, etc. THat's why you can only really trust physical copies, as much of a pain in the ass as they are to keep and organize. And even then, better keep your players in good shape and your physical media climate controlled! It never ends!
Roffleaphonic 5:50:46 PM
I really thought we had library's for that shit.
Number 6 5:51:05 PM
Some brands of flash drives suck, like the 5 Below YOUSE ones.
Roffleaphonic 5:51:15 PM
Not in the budget...
Lizbot (host) 5:53:16 PM
@Number 6 - YUP. And now thanks to those data centers, Apple and other manufacturers are talking about reducing built-in memory in iphones and computers because it's being sold at such a premium now, thanks to the stupid AI rush to build build build [centers no one but some tech billionaires and their venture capital investors want]
Number 6 5:54:20 PM
Data centers are a real menace!
Roffleaphonic 5:54:28 PM
@Number 6, I have so much on my good 256 SD chip in my phone. Makes no sense. But it's all about back up.
Number 6 5:55:09 PM
I know, and back up multiple times.
Roffleaphonic 5:56:03 PM
I pull from sources to load it, but I never trust it and have everything also on hard drives. I love my HD's.
Number 6 5:57:18 PM
Even stuff on bandcamp that I paid for has gotten deleted.
Roffleaphonic 5:57:30 PM
BTW, thanks for adding to that capacity. Both of you.
Number 6 5:58:18 PM
Anything that is NYP or that you got with download codes is especially fair game.
Roffleaphonic 5:59:12 PM
I love getting an update that you are grabbing something or another Number 6. I know you are always on the job. :)
Lizbot (host) 6:00:34 PM
@Number 6 - Re: Deleted Bandcamp albums - Yeah, that stinks. That's Reason #500 why I download everything. Sure, eats a lot of memory, but at least I know I have it. Nothing worse than needing a really specific audio file you know you paid for and it's just disappeared into the ether!
Number 6 6:01:06 PM
Yup, most stuff that I play is brand new or I never played it before, there's just so much music always coming out.
Lizbot (host) 6:01:17 PM
@Roffleaphonic - Happy to to add to that capacity by way of sending more music yr way over the airwaves!
Number 6 6:02:45 PM
Sharing my music on WPRB is the number 1 reason why I became a DJ.
Roffleaphonic 6:03:13 PM
@Lizbot, you play to the smart side of that.
Roffleaphonic 6:04:24 PM
Number 6! That is what I love about you folk. You share the best
Number 6 6:04:53 PM
I play a lot of stuff that other DJs daren't ever play.:)
Number 6 6:05:33 PM
Thanks Roffle, I needed that!
Roffleaphonic 6:05:57 PM
Ruby is such a treat!
Roffleaphonic 6:06:44 PM
And then you go space cowboy. Too good!
Number 6 6:07:12 PM
I got the whole Ruby series except for a few new ones, plus all Joe Frank material.
Roffleaphonic 6:08:05 PM
All Joe Frank! Seriously?
Roffleaphonic 6:08:19 PM
Free to broadcast?
Number 6 6:08:48 PM
I wish that I had the room to store all of the physical media, so digital is still a Godsend.
Lizbot (host) 6:09:14 PM
@Number 6 - Same! I'm always playing new music at home and for friends and family who would listen. The station is a way to expand that impulse on grander scale and reach more music lovers. Or as our 75th Anniversary poster said "A haven for the creative impulse!"
Lizbot (host) 6:10:07 PM
@Roffleaphonic - Thanks, I appreciate that!
Number 6 6:10:43 PM
I paid $$$ for the Joe Frank stuff when it was on sale.
Roffleaphonic 6:11:01 PM
This is an amazing station. I am at serious odds with Princeton U's current position.
Number 6 6:11:56 PM
Nuff said!
Lizbot (host) 6:13:06 PM
@Number 6 - I love having digital music at my fingertips, it is a game-changer.
Roffleaphonic 6:13:18 PM
Joe Frank was not on sale then for sure.
Lizbot (host) 6:13:44 PM
I also loved the feeling of DJing live events with only vinyl, and the exhilaration of having to drop the needle on the exact right spot with no lag...My back did not so much appreciate hauling crates of vinyl and I threw my back out at one of my old DJ events! I love having vinyl records from my favorite artists that I have back-stories and adventures collecting and remember exactly how and where I found them
Roffleaphonic 6:14:45 PM
At your finger tips means I can request ANYTHING! Scarry...
Lizbot (host) 6:15:35 PM
BUT I can't go off just vinyl anymore, and I digital affords so much more space for more music, which is the most important part of this to me! I just do not and have NEVER trusted streaming services, whether music or video, they merge, they go under, they "sunset" your purchases, they don't last. So for me, I have many shelves of records, but at this point my digital collective far exceeds those

Number 6 6:18:40 PM
We don't have any stacks at The Barge.
Roffleaphonic 6:20:34 PM
I totally love my weird idea from old of someone with a candle looking for stuff in the stacks, but hey, I love to dream...
Roffleaphonic 6:21:55 PM
Cobwebs and crypt keeper etc...
Number 6 6:24:16 PM
I do have some of those old kerosene lamps, and newer ones with LEDs.
Lizbot (host) 6:24:31 PM
@Roffleaphonic - I still think about the stacks. It's been about 5 years at The Barge, preceded by 1 year of pandemic era broadcast from home, preceded by 18 years of being in the main studio, which moved once during that time between two different on-campus buildings
Roffleaphonic 6:24:50 PM
So you were there #6!
Number 6 6:25:44 PM
I was lucky enough to start out at the main studio.
Roffleaphonic 6:26:15 PM
The last time I was on campus the studio was at the student center.
Number 6 6:26:55 PM
I suppose that the newer DJs will never see it.:(

good evening kids.
Roffleaphonic 6:28:43 PM
@6, History just evaporates for the next gen ti distill.
Lizbot (host) 6:28:49 PM
I started in 2002 at the original studio which was in the same building since the 1940s in one capacity or another, beginning with the station's founder, H. Grant Theis, broadcasting out of his dorm room! It was in that building's basement when I started, Then the university put us in a new campus building, which everyone broadcast out of until the 2020. I can't remember the exact year we moved there...2005 maybe?
Lizbot (host) 6:28:53 PM
Hi Ted!
Lizbot (host) 6:28:59 PM
Hi Dale Hazelton!
Roffleaphonic 6:30:15 PM
Two hours of Rudgrin is interesting every day.
Lizbot (host) 6:30:15 PM
@Ted - Oh nice! That's a show I probably would have checked out, but I was traveling in the Inland Pacific Northwest, visiting relatives in Spokane, WA and cousins who met up with us from Seattle
Lizbot (host) 6:31:05 PM
@Number 6 - That's sad. That was a spiffy studio, indeed!
Ted 6:34:37 PM
Todd gave Ringo a shoutout for his 86th(!!) birthday And Ringo was a very sickly child.
Roffleaphonic 6:35:16 PM
How was the Spokane trip? Other than the reason for being there, which is not fun.
Roffleaphonic 6:35:42 PM
I like Spokane
Lizbot (host) 6:37:02 PM
@Ted - wow. Ringo does not get a lot of love! Mostly these days I hear people referencing his announcement about no longer accepting fan-mail, punctuated by "Peace and Love'!
Number 6 6:37:20 PM
I did take some pix of the main studio, I'll have to dig them out.
Lizbot (host) 6:38:19 PM
@Roffleaphonic - It was good. It was for a somewhat sad reason: My uncle, who has lived there since the early 1960s is in hospice and my mom & I wanted to see him one last time. But it was nice to see my cousins I hadn't seen in ages as well
Roffleaphonic 6:38:49 PM
@6, History only needs proof.
Lizbot (host) 6:38:59 PM
[sidenote: i cannot state enough how influential to young Liz this Who Sell Out album was/remains]
Lizbot (host) 6:39:28 PM
@Roffleaphonic - As far as the city of Spokane itself. I didn't remember it that well, so it was really nice to rediscover it!
Roffleaphonic 6:40:08 PM
Seeing kid friends and relatives is a trip all on it own.
Lizbot (host) 6:40:20 PM
@Number 6 - I have a few of those (photos of the old studio) around, mostly from Membership Drives when everyone was keyed up and caffeinated and phone-banking!
Lizbot (host) 6:40:47 PM
@Roffleaphonic - Yeah, it was actually the first I met my two cousins' kids out there. They grew up in Seatlle
Lizbot (host) 6:42:04 PM
@Roffleaphonic - When I was a kid, we did the drive from Seattle to Spokane a couple of times - about 5 hours - and visited Grand Coulee Dam in between, along the Columbia River. Woody Guthrie wrote "Roll On, Columbia, Roll On" on commission for the opening of the Grand Coulee Dam and now it is the official State Song of Washington!
Number 6 6:42:20 PM
I also took pix of The Barge when we started, for future reference.
Roffleaphonic 6:44:03 PM
My kid was born in Seattle. I would love to hear the cousins take on it in this age. I might get it. lol
Lizbot (host) 6:44:08 PM
Spokane the city itself is very pretty because it has the Spokane River running through it, which has dramatic waterfalls right downtown by the Washington Water Works in Riverfront Park, Site of the 1974 World's Fair, "Expo '74: A Symposium on the Environment"!
Roffleaphonic 6:45:05 PM
Go north of Spokane and the forrests are wonderful.
Lizbot (host) 6:45:08 PM
@Number 6 - Good! I wish I had more photos of all the studios of WPRB's past! I have a few ancient ones of Holder Hall in a box somewhere, along with some of my physical paper playlists we used to have to write out and submit
Lizbot (host) 6:46:00 PM
@Roffleaphonic - Yes! So many massive evergreens! We saw two bald eagles!

Hi George Korein!

@George Korein - I think of the sulfur-crest of a cockatoo expanding and contracting as more of an accordion motion than "soaring", per se

Hi Stephen Bluhm!! Been a while? How's it going this summer?
Lizbot (host) 6:56:56 PM
Hi Randy Marthins!
Stephen Bluhm 6:57:27 PM
pretty good!
Stephen Bluhm 6:57:44 PM
I'm often not home from in time to catch the show. just got home.
Roffleaphonic 6:57:51 PM
George has a point and response by the lady! LOL
Lizbot (host) 6:58:22 PM
@Roffleaphonic - I love road-tripping, and how else will I [eventually] get to all 50 states?? I am currently at 33 states visited 36 if including Washington, DC or any territories (Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands) is permitted
Lizbot (host) 6:59:00 PM
@Stephen Bluhm - I enjoy your updates in your adventures in piano tuning. Reminds me my piano is overdue!
Lizbot (host) 6:59:36 PM
@Randy Marthins - ha! Never mind a Talking Heads reference
Roffleaphonic 6:59:44 PM
@lizbotI only have Hawaii left myself.
Randy Marthins 6:59:58 PM
I'm here for ya!
Lizbot (host) 7:01:57 PM
@Roffleaphonic - Nice! Which island?
Randy Marthins 7:02:09 PM
I used to think "The Big Country" with its lyric 'I wouldn't live there if you paid me to' was about NJ, but I think it's actually about CT
Roffleaphonic 7:02:28 PM
All of them?
Randy Marthins 7:03:02 PM
Many people have "left myself" in Hawai'i
Randy Marthins 7:03:21 PM
And yes - I use the apostrophe
Alex from Media 7:03:37 PM
Hi Lizbot! Hi all!
Lizbot (host) 7:03:53 PM
@Randy Marthins - ha! I get my hackles up when people dump on New Jersey! An entirely too common practice in the 80s. It's the lazy way out, not original! Too much Joe piscopo!
Lizbot (host) 7:03:58 PM
Hi Alex from Media!
Randy Marthins 7:04:38 PM
When I was a functioning triathlete, one of my bestest friends would always say "how's that hawai'i trip coming?"
Lizbot (host) 7:05:37 PM
@Randy Marthins - Re: Memphis - Don't forget Jim Jarmusch's "Mystery Train" from 1989, one of my favorite movies! All Memphis all the time. Plus Joe Strummer, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Cinque Lee!
Randy Marthins 7:06:27 PM
@lizbot - I lived in CT until I was 11 and we moved to "that town in South Jersey" - I visited my grandparents not long after, when I'd assimilated myself here and thought 'these people are weird!'
Stephen Bluhm 7:06:33 PM
ooo this one is hot
Randy Marthins 7:07:01 PM
Yes mystery train- is John Lurie in that as well?
Lizbot (host) 7:07:08 PM
@Stephen Bluhm - yeah, I used to play Mandrill a lot 20 years ago and am only just returned to it. So good!
Lizbot (host) 7:07:49 PM
@Roffleaphonic - I've gotten to Maui and Oahu. I have a friend who works on an organic farm on the big island. Maybe time to pay him a visit!
Lizbot (host) 7:08:30 PM
@Randy Marthins - No need to apologize for using the apostrophe!
Alex from Media 7:08:57 PM
You must have seen me coming and quickly queued up the funk.
Lizbot (host) 7:09:29 PM
@Randy Marthins - ha, I wish a ferry was possible between the hawaiian islands! Instead it was a 30 minute flight from Maui to Oahu
Lizbot (host) 7:09:55 PM
@Randy Marthins - haha, Jersey: Proudly Weird!
Lizbot (host) 7:10:19 PM
@Alex from Media - I have an uncanny sense for these things!
Roffleaphonic 7:11:05 PM
Hell, Lizbot, Is he taking applications for watering dude. I so have an open schedule and time.
Stephen Bluhm 7:12:16 PM
yeah that was great wow
Roffleaphonic 7:12:36 PM
I work cheap too if it's cool. :)
Danosaur🦖 7:13:48 PM
Lizbot bringin' the funk
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:16:50 PM
Evening all
Danosaur🦖 7:17:33 PM
Hello Rob!
Lizbot (host) 7:18:06 PM
@Roffleaphonic - ha, all i known is the farm got damaged in that volcanic eruption on Hawai'i several years back. Lava Zones are no joke!
Lizbot (host) 7:18:13 PM
Hi Danosaur🦖!
Lizbot (host) 7:18:19 PM
Hi Rob from Maryland 🦀!
Roffleaphonic 7:18:25 PM
Hey Rob! Any sightings today of merit?
Danosaur🦖 7:19:00 PM
This has a fun, retro vibe
Roffleaphonic 7:19:57 PM
Yeh, my litigation clause says something about volcanic eruptions. So it goes...
Lizbot (host) 7:22:10 PM
@Stephen Bluhm - Glad you dug it!
Ossy 7:22:16 PM
liz - flashback cartoon network 2000s with tara sands! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ECBXXWeVAAA4az5.jpg
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:22:28 PM
Hiya Lizbot and Danosaur!
Lizbot (host) 7:22:42 PM
@Roffleaphonic - Active lava flow - The main reason hardly anyone lives on the Big Island!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:22:58 PM
@Roffle, no sightings from me. Nothing too exciting from other folks either. Neither birds nor lava flows
Lizbot (host) 7:23:22 PM
@Ossy - Oh wow, she's so young there!
Roffleaphonic 7:23:37 PM
@Lizbot, I can work with an evacuation plan.
Lizbot (host) 7:23:56 PM
@Roffleaphonic - They're just toes, who needs 'em?!
Alex from Media 7:23:58 PM
Hi Rob! I want to confirm an observation with you. Not sure if I've brought this up but here goes...
Danosaur🦖 7:24:29 PM
Shoo be doo
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:24:54 PM
Hi Alex! I'm all eyes
Alex from Media 7:25:14 PM
Have you ever noticed that when somebody drops birdsong into a track to denote like a peacful natural scene it's a recording of sparrows having one of their mob fights?
Roffleaphonic 7:25:15 PM
At Rob, I love that you are watching. I think birds are an important bellwether.
Lizbot (host) 7:25:20 PM
@Roffleaphonic - Speaking of volcanoes - There's an excellent doc with incredible and utterly beautiful footage of volcanoes called "Fire of Love" I saw at the Ambler Theater several years back. Narrated by Miranda July and following the life's work of a fascinating French "volcanist" couple
Roffleaphonic 7:27:03 PM
Dang Alex, they are always having issues.
Randy Marthins 7:27:06 PM
We went to the Canary Islands for our honeymoon
Danosaur🦖 7:27:30 PM
This song has nice summer vibes
Randy Marthins 7:28:09 PM
Jon Solomon has mentioned "fire of love" I need to get onto that and "secret mall apartment"
Lizbot (host) 7:28:12 PM
@Alex from Media - haha, I will have to pay attention to that the next time I hear birdsong on a track! A good observation! I have quite a lot of songs featuring birdsong, even before I bought a seven volume long birdsong-influenced compilation project called something "The Birdsong Project"
Ossy 7:28:12 PM
liz - oh yeah, waht a quirky doll and those shimmering teeth!!
Alex from Media 7:28:37 PM
Just makes me laugh. Cause Sparrows have a beautiful call.
Lizbot (host) 7:29:22 PM
@Randy Marthins - Secret Mall Apartment is SO good too!!! Highly recommend to everyone! I spent some time in that Providence, RI show space house mentioned in the doc!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:29:47 PM
@Alex, I don't think it's always sparrows. Sometimes it is a real bird song from like a cardinal or a robin
Randy Marthins 7:29:50 PM
@alex "Cause Sparrows have a beautiful call." Effect Sparrows, on the other hand - you never know what you're gonna get
Alex from Media 7:30:26 PM
@ Lizbot it happens about 25% of the time. But I think a bird oriented recording might be made by someone with more of a feel for nature.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:30:36 PM
@Randy, did you see any canaries there?
Roffleaphonic 7:31:04 PM
I don't know if they still have this at the Hayden Planetarium, but the Hall of the Sun was just wonderful.
Roffleaphonic 7:32:48 PM
Sitting room with the sun having a day.
Lizbot (host) 7:33:00 PM
@Alex from Media / @Rob from Maryland 🦀 - The classic animal sound substitutions: A kookaburra call is often used as a stand-in for a generic monkey call in many older movies.
Danosaur🦖 7:33:05 PM
The organ in this song gives it a real mysterious, somewhat ominous sound.
Randy Marthins 7:33:32 PM
@rob - parrots mostly, and variations thereof ('Islas Canarias' means 'islands of dogs')
George Korein 7:33:33 PM
"i'll take care of you" -- a gangster
Alex from Media 7:33:33 PM
Ha! Yeah I always laugh when a Red tailed hawk call is used for a Bald Eagle.
Randy Marthins 7:34:25 PM
I've heard bald eagles call - not 'cinematic'
Roffleaphonic 7:34:34 PM
Embrace the story George.
Danosaur🦖 7:34:36 PM
Reminded me of a Jim Jarmusch movie soundtrack
Space Cowboy 7:34:42 PM
Some rock solid songs tonight
Alex from Media 7:34:59 PM
Randy, sounds like a big seagull.
Lizbot (host) 7:35:26 PM
Hi Space Cowboy!
Randy Marthins 7:35:52 PM
@lizbot - apparently the flute riff in "down under" was a little TOO CLOSE to some kids song about a kookoobarra
George Korein 7:36:08 PM
zinc!
Randy Marthins 7:36:46 PM
@alex - yeah, just warblly screech #NoFun
George Korein 7:36:48 PM
man doling out the mandolin
George Korein 7:37:02 PM
the man doling out the mandolin
Lizbot (host) 7:37:09 PM
@Randy Marthins - That's the next one I was gonna mention: Bald eagles' calls are deemed kinda wimpy sounding and thus "unamerican," hence usually a red-tailed hawk screech, which is suitably badass-sounding
Danosaur🦖 7:37:41 PM
I remember singing a song about a kookaburra in grammar school
Lizbot (host) 7:38:16 PM
@George Korein - The synth solo right now reminds me of Abacab era Genesis
Lizbot (host) 7:38:34 PM
@Space Cowboy - Glad you're enjoying it!
George Korein 7:39:30 PM
electric violin for the viol win
Alex from Media 7:39:35 PM
I did enjoy how Pink Floyd mimicked loons in the third movement of Echoes. (Later barking dogs in Dogs too)
Danosaur🦖 7:40:14 PM
Electric violin solo reminded me of Jean Luc Ponty from the 70's
Roffleaphonic 7:41:03 PM
That was quite cool
Alex from Media 7:41:33 PM
Jean Luc Ponty! now there's a name I havent heard since... *Obi Wan Kenobi voice
Danosaur🦖 7:42:22 PM
I like all the sampling in this song
Lizbot (host) 7:42:24 PM
@Danosaur🦖- oh absolutely!
Randy Marthins 7:43:08 PM
A couple weeks ago, on Stanley Clarkes birthday I was listening g to something with him, chick Corea and John luc ponty
Danosaur🦖 7:43:50 PM
@Randy Marthins - Some classic jazz-fusion there
Alex from Media 7:43:56 PM
groovin to The Movers. New to me.
Ossy 7:44:25 PM
looking through the playlist, YES MANDRILL!
Danosaur🦖 7:44:45 PM
The Movers need to be on a double bill with The Groovers
Lizbot (host) 7:45:01 PM
@Danosaur🦖 - That sample-heavy song you liked is former WPRB DJ Ray Weitekamp! He used to be on Thursdays many back to back with me a loooong time ago!
Roffleaphonic 7:45:06 PM
saw Ponty in the 70's with Daryl Sturmmer before he joined onto genesis front row. Exelant musicians.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:45:48 PM
@lizbot, I didn't know that about kookaburra calls
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:46:00 PM
@Randy, nice!
Lizbot (host) 7:46:01 PM
@Ossy - Mandrill is SOOO good! Love them. It's been a while since I played them
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:47:01 PM
@Danosaur, I remember that song too (or another one perhaps)
Lizbot (host) 7:47:03 PM
@Alex from Media - I love all those little sneaky sounds on Pink Floyd records! They were so good at that!
Danosaur🦖 7:48:16 PM
@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - Yeah, it was Kookaburra Sittin' in the Old Gum Tree. I can still sing it
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:48:30 PM
@Alex, I don't laugh when Red-tailed Hawk calls are substituted for Bald Eagles, I roll my eyes
Lizbot (host) 7:48:41 PM
@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - Yeah, I first noticed that years ago watching a video of a kookaburra, thinking where else have I heard this exact call? Then I realized it was the standard "Monkey sound" for a long time in Hollywood's sound effects banks!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:49:05 PM
Merry merry king of the bush is he, laugh, kookaurra, laugh ...
Danosaur🦖 7:49:29 PM
@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - Ha! That's it!!
Lizbot (host) 7:49:47 PM
@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - As well you should! I just saw two wild bald eagles circling over Lake Coeur d'Alene in Idaho on my Spokane, WA (with a little Idaho) trip last week!
Lizbot (host) 7:50:24 PM
Hi deirdre dionysiac! Okay, I got you. I just need to let the current song finish so I have time during the next one to let you in
Space Cowboy 7:50:44 PM
That's 5 demerits deidre
deirdre dionysiac 7:51:02 PM
You're letting me off easy
deirdre dionysiac 7:51:15 PM
But space cowboys are known to be fair
Lizbot (host) 7:51:30 PM
@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - Yes! My mom ALWAYS sang that song to us as little kids!
Lizbot (host) 7:51:57 PM
@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - sittin in the old gum tree
Lizbot (host) 7:52:29 PM
@Space Cowboy - I've always heard the Space Cowboy and the Farrmer should be friends (dorky musical reference)
Danosaur🦖 7:53:28 PM
Some people call him Maurice
Alex from Media 7:56:06 PM
Thank Lizbot!
Space Cowboy 7:56:06 PM
Bet you weren't ready for that.. I'm sure ya know where it's at
Space Cowboy 7:56:24 PM
That was a really good show...
Number 6 7:56:33 PM
Thanks for another fine show, BCNU!
Danosaur🦖 7:56:51 PM
Thanks for the fun music and chat! Stay cool
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:57:17 PM
@Lizbot, cool about your Bald Eagles
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:58:19 PM
@Lizbot, ty, great show, see you in two weeks
Space Cowboy 7:58:40 PM
