Tomorrow is an Octopus Fri Jul 17 with Dan Ruccia on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Good morning!

Waiting on a call, waiting on an exterminator, and waiting for THIS.

Make sure to keep all those bugs on hold

Lil hands o silver.... guy was quite the guitar strummer.

Hey ho! Just waiting ;) Let's go!

Hey Brian and Bike R!

Manitas's manitas sure do fly around

Happy Birthday Geezer Butler!

Oh man! Guess I'm gonna have to play some Sabbath today

Any particular Sabbath the chat is craving?

Matt Sabbath?

GO DEEP, DAN. Play the Sabbath that no one plays.

I vote for "The Writ" from Sabotage.

YESSSSS!!!!!

OR THIS, OF COURSE

It's so strange to me that Sabbath Bloody Sabbath gets so little love on the radio and such. IT'S THEIR BEST ALBUM

Boogie Sabbath. Swingin Bill W

Points for chis one.

Sometimes Rick Wakeman is the keyboard player for this LP. This one sounds like his tone. The "Who Are You" track might not be him though... think that one is just one of the core 4 Sabbath dudes playing the one-finger synth part.

This one definitely has him on it

Bonham loved this track. And Supernaut from Vol 4 too I think.

I'd believe it. The drumming on Supernaut is ::chef's kiss::

Zappa and Bonham both loved Supernaut and wanted to play/sit in with them

One finger synth! LOL

HAVE YOU WATCHED THE TINY DESK CONCERT WITH NAPALM DEATH YET????

Now your fucking with my stupidity.

It's maybe the best thing I've heard in a little bit

Love all of the Self Titled through Sabatadge (as Capt Kirk would say it). The way the Sabotage tracks all link up and the little untitled or parentheses titled songlets are jumbled together (they did that parenthetical thing on other lps too). And of course, the hidden little "Blow on a Jug" ditty. I think Capt Ahab cranked up the player and aired that one during the Oz tribute last year.

Tiny desk pulls out gems

One day we will meet Brian and I will bore the shit out of you. :)

Totaly boring.

Thanks for the ride today Dan.

GWAR tiny desk from a few years back was a hoot

I think it's way to early for today to be a thing.

Any chance you can find any xiii pfp (Pennies for primates)

@Brendan I'll see what I can do

Crazy ask cause it’s a local phillyish group

I had to look up to see if Boston Typewriter Orchestra ever played on Tiny Desk concert, it seems like the universe(s) would dictate that has to happen. They have not yet, but have submitted entries to the Tiny Desk contest. And ... one of their entries was "Selectric Funeral" so it is all connected. Geezer degrees of Separation.

Looks like they have a bandcamp!

So anyone can apply to have a small desk?

Love that Afro Caribe back and forth musical history. Wild.

I know folks who will pound on a tiny desk all day long. :)

I think anyone can? But they also have a guy, Lars Gottrich, who curates it. His tastes run deep and weird. He's based in DC, but I wonder if we could get him to come up here for an interview or something at some point?

Late comment (the exterminator just left), but that Napalm Death Tiny Desk Concert was so life-affirming. Loved the quick shot of NPR staff all moshing.

All in for a Lars Gottrich interview!

Also love that they finished with "You Suffer"

The moshing shot was the absolute best part of that (besides literally every other part of it)

Wondering if this song will summon @Jon Solomon who can answer the question of: Does this count as a WPRB Xmas song if it includes the line "It's Christmas day"?

Howdeeee Deejay Dapper Dan! Been enjoying the show

I am digging these Black Bananas.

Also enjoying some black raspberry pie & ice cream & coffee

If I ever do my Thanksgiving turkey show again, that Black Bananas is officially on the playlist

Also, hi jimbooooo!

great combo , drinkin beer here cause it's humid and i can , retirement what a concept

Now that sounds like the life, aiffrig! Some day I hope to get there myself...

Beer will come after I suit up and try to pilfer 60lbs of honey from one of my beehives

Thx Dan!

Happy honey hunting!

Thanks for listening/chatting, y'all!

Thanks Dan.
