hello

Howdeeee Tim

heu jimbo whats up

hey

It's like old times floating in the pool on a Saturday in the summer with scratchy vinyl!

man that sounds good -

Sitting in the shade on the deck for a while, That sun gets hot. I'm waiting for some trees to cast some shade to float in

What year was this Iggy interview?

yeah its sticky out there

im guesing 78-79 i thinnk it ws a monning show like good morning american -

wasnt there a david somenbody who was hosting the morning sho win the 70;s cant remember his name

Edie!

ha. It sounded like that actually about the time of 14 year-old version of my wife went up to him and asked him for a cigarette and he’s like “you look like a mouse”. Plastic fantastic for one of those record store appearances. 78 or 79 would’ve been around when that happened.

Little darlings

My dog spots go through to his skin, so I guess it’s like a tiger stripes

@ g yeah that would make sense

@ g funny -- i used to go to plastic fantastic tooo

I’m thinking actually that was earlier than that. Thinking of the timeline in how old my wife is. 79 is when Tom Petty hit on her at the bar outside the tower and she’s like I have to go to school tomorrow. My mom‘s coming to pick me up. He’s like “you don’t need school“. Funny times. She is way cooler stories like that because she live near the tower so her and her sister saw like everybody. Her sister was front row of Thin Lizzy back in their prime. All kinds of cool stories like that.

man lucky her -- yeaht that was the tie - at least i think so

time

I certainly think so. Me growing up in the suburbs of Jersey I didn’t have any cool stories like that, though.

Plus, I wasn’t a chick.

This Eggs song is timeless (for me at least)

And hi Tim and everyone

hey rob whats up

You can't play Ubangi stomp from that trashmen album anymore since they eliminated DEI

Remember the commercial that use this song with the animals going nuts like the cat and the dog destroying the house I don’t even know what it was for. It was a funny commercial though. This perfect song for that.

D.A.M. yessssss

Similar but less commercial than “I might like you better if we slept together“. If you could call that one commercial even.

sure romeo void -- i remember them

Romeo Void, that’s right. I was drawing a blank on the name

missing persons ws big around then too..

what are word for... high school hit 1982

Very 82-ish. All that stuff. The year I graduated high school.

missing persons had top-notch musicians though. Zappa alumni.

really? didint know that

Yeah, Terry Bozzio and Warren Coello

Warren Cucerillo I don’t know about the spelling of that. Obviously addiction doesn’t either.. And look it just said addiction. I’m not changing that. But yeah, Warren went on to play with the Duran Duran Duran Duran Duran Duran. They always said he was dumb and down, but I don’t know he had a big hit with ordinary world, which I think is a great song.

And Frank had a cool attitude about his guys going on to pop stuff. He didn’t see his selling out. Steve I two going onto Whitesnake. Frank was like they ain’t gonna make money doing what I’m doing so they might as well get paid for it. Or worse to that effect.

huh -- had know idea .... i saw duran duran her on the princeton campus - i like dthat song ordinary worl - pretty good radio show

radio song

Yeah, ordinary world was sort of like their “comeback“. Cause they hadn’t had a hit in a couple years and the lineup changed a little bit with a guitar player, leaving. But I didn’t realize how long ago that was. I don’t know for some reason, I thought that was the 2000s but it was 1993. Geez time man. Just flies.

wow 1993 yeesh -

Yeah, you know you’re old when 1993 seems like yesterday. Well, maybe not yesterday but the day before yesterday. Still doesn’t seem that far ago.

Great song..great band

yeah they are great -- i wish they would put out more albums./songs

DM or Shoshone?

shisho

That Shisho song was great! And ty for playing Chicken Squawk

Another great band

yeah i love shi sho --- but as previoly menton -- they need to put out more albums 0-- but they are so good

@ carlos - yeah a big hit on my colleege campous back in the day

choke on this you danceateria types!!!!!!!!

i met andy warhol at really chic party - blow it out your hairstyle cause tyiyu work at hardeesz!

I saw 3/4 of the band and a book signing at siren records in Doylestown last week. Very fun evening.

aith that a corker-- i doidnt knw!

Birdwatching is NOT hazardous!!!

yeah that just was straight up bs

Pelicans have nostrils "o exclude water from the nasal passage, they have narrower internal regions of the nostrils.[37]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_pelican

That bird is using my credit card…That bird is a liar. I’m Brian Fellow…..

@ g jax nice!! lol

When SNL was still funny. I love Tracy Morgan.

"The genus Pelecanus was first formally described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. He described the distinguishing characteristics as a straight bill hooked at the tip, ****linear nostrils****, a bare face, and fully webbed feet." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelican

yes! bringing on the pelican facts -- i knew you would cone through

Rob… I live about an hour and a half away from the consign dam.. two of my neighbors recently went once said it was worth it, and the other said it was not

I want your opinion on it

Conwigo dam

that s wprb for ya

matt where did you go come back!

Howdy, what was played between instant club hit and all my friends are dead?

ohit was a station id -- richard harris macather park

@ carlos do they still have teh conwingo music festival - year ago it was

We have a white skunk that hangs outside of our house. Sprayed my dog the one night. We named her Zsa Zsa. She is beautiful though.

welp always good to have a skunk pal named zsa zsa

This Black Velvet Flag song is ... :-DD

Hey, in your fun facts I’m fairly certain 99.99% of people that named skunks outside their house name him Pepe Le Pew. Unimaginative zeros.

I was a big fan of EVA on Green Acres

i agreee -- so basic

@ carlos -- secet crush>?

Hi Tim, enjoying 2nd half of your show. Is this really the first I tuned in to Scratchy Vinyl? My loss.

Ha this is fantastic. I have never heard this version of this song before. All I wanted was a Pepsi……

hey iconjohn - thanks for stopping by - here every sat until the end of the summer

@ g jax- belive or not theres a bunch of funny cover verions

@Carlos, I haven't been to Conowingo Dam in many years. My Burlington Co. NJ birding friend went there in the past year or three (or a good birding friend of hers did) and apparently there aren't as many Bald Eagles as there used to be? I don't think that there haven't been as many unusual gulls reported there as were reported in the 90s (which is the main reason I drove there from the DC area)

Yeah, this would be a perfect song to do a silly cover of. I just never heard it. Since this is the first one I’ve heard I’m fairly certain, I’ll think all other covers suck.

2 g jax perhaps-- but they are pretty funny

TV Party!!! :-DDDD

@ g jax i was gonna play some of them but im gonna run out of time

My favorite part of this song is when they scream out names of TV shows from that era

The suburban punk argument would always be which version of TV party was better the single or the LP this was based on different songs being mentioned on both of them

@ g jax i know

as performed by Pelican Nostrils and the Conowingo Eagles

@Rob @Carlos My understanding is that eagles best seen at Conwingo in January?

@ rob nice - ill call atlantic city .... your ready

@IConJohn, I think that January would be the best month for eagles, yes

I love both Black Flag versions of TV Party!

My Radiohead-loving wife is loving these last three songs!!!!

@ rob -- cool --

and of course I am loving these songs too!

@ rob glad your into it - smart aleky punk is the great

Sounds like the same car crash at the end of the Dickie’s Manny Moe and Jack

@Tim, this has been a fantastic show, the part that we caught. Thank you!!!! Until the next time!

cya rob thanks!!

Muchas gracias

thanks cya carlos

Love the Sex Pistols version of this song

ive never heard- --- i dunno this is pretty dam sweet

Thx Tim, jams sped along my house painting

It is on the great rock ‘n’ roll swindle this one is also very good

sure glad to have ya listening -

duly noted ill have to chek it out
