Hello Hello!

Greetings!

Doing a mostly upbeat and largely silly show today!

Hi Number 6!

I like silly!

@Number 6 - Excellent!

This song is pretty dark for a "goofy" theme - Not ALL silly!

Inadvertent footwear theme these first songs!

Love the theme

Hi Krista Blodgett!

@Krista Blodgett - I certainly could do a footwear theme some time, but this is kind of an accidental footwear theme for the first two songs! Mostly goofy and upbeat songs today though. BUt now i'm thinking about shoe songs!

Ah, i mean goofy!!

@Krista Blodgett - Ah! Yes, I felt chipper in this sunniness and wanted to make something silly today!

The chanting part of this song kills me

"High-precision ghosts"!

Hi Lizbot and fellow chatters!

Hi Danosaur🦖!

Hi Lizbot! Letting you know we're driving & signal was coming in strong & clear all the way to egg harbor-whp rt 30/rt 50.

Hi Amy Lee!

@Amy Lee - Nice! Gorgeous day for the shore!

You don't hear Albuquerque used as a lyric in many songs

@Amy Lee - Don't know if you're on your way to or from the shore, but I'm always happy when PRB comes in clear down the shore!

@Danosaur🦖 - True! Especially when paired with hot dogs and jumping frogs!

I mean, Bug Bunny was fond of Albuquerque although he often took a wrong turn there

@Danosaur🦖- ha! Now I will think of Bugs cartoons when I hear that song!

ah the mighty Frogs, excellent, dj

@Lizbot - that's not a bad thing

Summoned by snake heads!

Hi Mats Sabbath! Glad you dig it. I saw Frogs live once, at the Khyber in Old City, Philly in the early 2000s. Dennis and Jimmy were decked out in shimmering capes and it was about a thousand degrees in there and I got lightheaded!

Are They Might Be Giants nerd rock?

Hi addie “5 snakes” plum 🐍!

Welcome snakes!

Hello Danosaur! I think nerd rock is the perfect descriptor!

@Danosaur🦖 - I'd say so say (re: TMBG)

dj Lizbot rad re Frogs

@addie “5 snakes” plum 🐍 - In the words of Russell Hoban in "Best Friends for Francis" - "I gotta go do my frog and snake work"

@Mats Sabbath - I'm glad I got to see them the one time at least!

@Danosaur🦖 - Hell those Bugs cartoons introduced me to many great songs!

I wonder if The Frogs ever played The Pond arena in Anaheim?

SHRAMP BOAT

@Danosaur🦖 - I hope the frogs visited The Pond!

@Lizbot - Well, Chuck Jones loved opera and Carl Stalling was heavily influenced by Raymond Scott so some good stuff there

@Mats Sabbath - "shramp stamp" = shrimp boat themed tattoo

Haaaaaa!

@Danosaur🦖 - Yes! It's the Raymond Scott "Powerhouse" stuff I alway think of when remembering old Bugs/warner cartoons! Like the baby climbing of the construction site girders!

@Lizbot - do you only see a shramp stamp when someone is bent over hauling in their nets?

@Lizbot - I have a CD of all Carl Stalling Warner Brothers cartoon music and I drive around playing it and it's like being in a cartoon

@Danosaur🦖 - Yes! Lobstermen & shrimpers are known to love theme some late-80s Chicago post-rock!

@Danosaur🦖 - Ooooh, that's appealing! I need to try driving around to Carl Stalling Warner Brothers cartoon music! I already have a lot of Raymond Scott and Piero Umiliano, which yield a similar effect!

@Lizzbot - Pizzicato Five works too as I'm sure many others do. Makes driving in traffic a little more bearable

Lolllll, just coming back to “shramp stamp”

@addie “5 snakes” plum 🐍 - Something to aspire to!

"Don't dream it - be it" as a wise person once said

@Danosaur🦖 - True! We heard from hotdogs earlier in King of Rock n' Roll, so why not from Dr. Frank-N-Furter?

@Lizbot - I relish the idea of that theme

@Danosaur🦖 - badum bum!

I would 100% get a shramp stamp. My kid would be beyond delighted by it.

That child loves a crustacean.

@addie “5 snakes” plum 🐍 - ooooh, does Z like Pepe the King Prawn??

The fresh fish market is childhood's end for Spongebob fans..

Hi Rofflelectic!

Howdy!

@Rofflelectic - Tasty delicious sponge, a true palate cleanser!

Haha!

David Sanborn on sax!

smooooooooov Ween

@Mats Sabbath - Oh crazy! Well that figures!

this tune never gets old!

hi lizbot!

@Mats Sabbath - I find this song so funny. The way he enunciates "tri-colored pasTAS!"

Hi Andrew Gotobed!

Gener is a man of many voices.

@Andrew Gotobed - True! The wife & I thank you very much!

the Cy Sisters!

@Mats Sabbath - The Sly Cy!

@Mats Sabbath - Especially when this song sounds slinky and sneaky

The Scotch-Brite sponges also brush the teeth, but ya gotta know a guy that knows a guy in Chinatown to find one. :)

I wonder if there is a fifth sister, Cyber.

SlappHappy is PALINDROME HAPPY

@Rofflelectic - oooh, dental intrigue!

@Mats Sabbath - Cyber will eventually replace all the sisters and make bot music for only other bots to listen to

I like the word noom

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM (summoning TAndy)

@Mats Sabbath - Nooooom is very satisfying to say! Not a very wearying one!

Steve Martin as Orin Scrivello, DDS is my dental consultant.

I'LL SEE YOU, GUNSLINGER, AT HIGH NOOM IN FRONT OF THE NOOM SALOON

Roff haaaaaa!

@Rofflelectic - Ha! I was just thinking the other day about how I saw both ROcky Horror and Little Shop of Horrors revivals in the past few years!

#noomcore

@Mats Sabbath - Noom Saloon under the noolas moon

@Mats Sabbath - Ok, Noomer

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Thankyou for TWO Residents songs. I retire my Residents library from April to November. Then slowly listen to everyone during the winter nights.

Hi Rob from Maryland 🦀! Speaking of crustaceans!

Hi iConJohn!

Every Residents album.

iConJohn nice!

@iConJohn - Love revisiting Residents albums!

@ Lizbot (host) I adore Slapp Happy's very Brecht/Weill-ian "Casablanca Moon." Thanks for playing it!

Blue Crabs rule!

Hi Richard of Rocky Hill!

@Richard of Rocky Hill - It's such a great album! I love it so much! I'm a huge fan of Dagmar Krause

Bada Bing, Bada Noom

Roff Lol

@Rofflelectic - Bada Bing, Nada Noom

evening.

Hi Dale Hazelton!

Strange But True is a great album

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - I will trust yr judgment on crustaceans, oh Maryland man of the Land of Crabs! I don't eat shellfish myself, but I am a fan of the crab scuttle!

@Mats Sabbath - I love that album, and i had to dig it out, I hadn't played it in so long

😤

Hello TAndy!

TAndy NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM

Hi Lizbot!! Did you play “now that I own the bbc” - you mentioned it!!!!???

Hi adnan love shamsi!

Omg hi! I changed my name to my handle! This is cool

@adnan love shamsi - I love that song, and have played it before on the show (I am a huge Sparks fan!) but I instead played She's an Anchorman and just mentioned Now That I Own the BBC because it's on that EP of the same name

Cheer-Accident! Time signature masters.

@Mats Sabbath - I love when they sing this song live. Jeff Libersher usually makes everyone paper masks for this song. He wrote it about his summer camp experiences!

Hi Lizbot. Did you happen to see Aldous Harding at Underground Arts last night? Great show.

Hi Kevin Schofield!

@Kevin Schofield - Sadly, no! I would have liked to have gone, but I had to attend my teen's high school's "College Night" event!

I love her albums, but she’s a very odd performer.

@Kevin Schofield - I like a lot of her music videos. Did you go??

@Kevin Schofield - Of course The Barrel video is still my favorite. Love that crazy fabric tunnel and her nutty dance in that tall hat!

I did go. I got up pretty close. But she’s pretty unsettling to see. The most unusual stage presence you can imagine. I saw her at Union Transfer about 4 years ago but somehow managed to forget how weird she is.

Have to leave the car radio to get bubble tea - listening to “now that I own the bbc” on streaming 🙏

the autumn wind is a pirate - Cheer-Accident

We Love Weird 😝

@Kevin Schofield - haha, did she do any interpretive dances??

@LoveTheYogaGuy - I love Ron Mael's lyrical brain!

Can Jam!

@Mats Sabbath - Mashup between Can and The Jam...imagine that!

She did a little bit of dancing. Mostly she just stared very wide eyed at the audience, like you’re invading her space. And she just makes the weirdest sarcastic facial expressions, especially whenever you clap when the song ends. I thought it was performance art the first time, but she never lets up.

@Mats Sabbath - The Autumn Wind Is a Pirate is a masterpiece!

Dug that Plum song!

Hi Kelly Nielsen! Glad you enjoyed it!

Followed by the Minutemen, heck yeah

Minutemen, nice!

And hi! DJ Lizbot

@Kelly Nielsen - Here's some more Plum!

@Kevin Schofield - oooh, yeah. Sounds similar to the vibe of when I saw Miranda July for New Yorker Fest a year or two ago, She seemed deeply uncomfortable on stage during her reading. Maybe she had a weird interaction right beforehand. I met her once way many years earlier at the screening of her first movie, Me You and Everyone We Know, and she was really relaxed and chatty then. But I felt bad being in the audience that most recent time, like she was miserable. I love her work!

whoa! this is great

@Mats Sabbath / @ Kelly Nielsen - I love Minutemen so much, and that song never gets old!

@Andrew Gotobed - Glad you're digging it!

also, the minutemen are undoubtedly on my mt rushmore of artists

@Andrew Gotobed - oh yes, I love them so much. The Anchor is one of my favorite songs ever by not just them but any band. Mike Watt said it was the first song the band ever wrote over 2 minutes long up until that point

@Andrew Gotobed - Also love that We Jam Econo doc about them!

that one of the best music docs i've seen, and the bonus live footage is fantastic

we loved both the Minutemen and the Snakefinger songs

@Andrew Gotobed - Yes, so good and so heartbreaking to think how young D. Boon was. So much talent lost!

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - Glad you both enjoyed it!

Lizbot Me You and Everyone We Know is wild. That dude sets his hand on fire and shows everyone LOL. Gibby of Butthole Surfers move LOL

@Mats Sabbath - ha! That little kid and the crazy chat graphic! That movie had a pretty good score too

Miranda's newer film Kajillionaire is wild too

Thanks for sharing this music and this chat option is fire 🔥 -as they sa - btw I just got an insane croissant wrapped inside of a chocolate chip cookie from “Tous Les Jours” and a flattened crispy pecan croissant to share with my yoga students after tonight’s class - plus “Mango Mango” has some insane offerings as well - this stuff seems to go well with this music - cheers! 🥂 (oh I don’t usually shop these joints but this music got me hungering for unusual tastes) happy listening to all beings

@Mats Sabbath - Kajillionaire is my absolute favorite of hers!! I have watched it several times and made my family watch it! Just those saturated pastels alone are so gorgeous. Beautiful cinematography! I love dance in the gas station bathroom between Old Dolio and Melanie. The score is great too. I've played it on this show!

Family Fodder !

@LoveTheYogaGuy - That all sounds deeply delicious! I am a sucker for the bubble tea places! I'll take one of those pecan croissants!

@LoveTheYogaGuy - I love an oolong or Earl Grey milk tea with boba when the boba's still warm! Now dreaming of teaaaa

Btw check out the soundtrack for film “Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma” - if you love this music I’ll bet you’ll LOVE IT!

Good evening all

Good evening, Carlos Ramone!

@LoveTheYogaGuy - I have it! played one song from it on this show a few weeks ago. Love the movie!

haven't been chatty but been enjoying. thanks!

@Dale Hazelton - Glad you're digging it! Keeping the energy high to fend off my struggle with the fact the sun is setting 2/3 of the way into my program these days!

yes, and it doesn't come up until after 6:30am too.

i really need to make a sparks pandora channel, i'm not super familiar but love everything i hear.

@Dale Hazelton - Sparks is so great and the perfect band to take a deep-dive into because they have 26 studio albums plus EPs, live releases etc

@Dale Hazelton - Yeah, approaching the autumn equinox and less daylight is really messing with my sleep schedule and energy levels! I got basically no sleep last week and it was a very busy week. This week I was super tired until today!

jumping off but keeping my ears on. have a great night.

I have to put my face in the window to tune into the light every morning now so my body can figure out what time it is without me having to explain it with coffee.

'Night, Dale Hazelton! Have a good week!

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/9oQAAOSwEeFVBkmL/s-l1200.jpg spooky seazon is upon us!

@Rofflelectic - Yeah man, we are so tuned to sunlight, it's crazy how drastically changes in the season affect sleep and mood!

great set lizbot!

Hi michael gudgeon! THank you!

Roff haaaaaa! I just go straight to coffee.

@Mats, coffee is my friend too :)

@Rofflelectic / @Mats Sabbath - Coffee is a cruel mistress. I love it, but it can cause me to be up for days with little to no sleep!

I can have too much and it makes me tired sometimes.

dayum!!

@liz.. what is the latest that you will have a caffeinated beverage? I see lines at Starbucks in Duncan at 4 o’clock in the afternoon and I wonder how those people are getting to sleep

4pm is teatime, is it not?

Sleep is overrated. Hasn't been the same since Matt Pike left. Kidding!

Blue Flower :-DD

@Rofflelectic - I think when coffee makes me tired it's the cycle of caffeine energy and caffeine-fueled sleep deprivation doubling over on itself!

@Carlos Ramone - yeah i can't do 4 pm caffeine unless i have a deadline and KNOW i gotta stay up all night, and these days I avoid that because it will mess me up for days

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - Love this song so much!

@Lizbot, I get that. Once the clock is over wound things get weird.

@Rofflelectic - 3 pm is i think teatime, time for cucumber sandwiches eaten with the pinky finger aloft! And don't forget about elevenses!

Haaaaaa! High Tea!

3PM is more reasonable.

@Mats Sabbath - Ha. He was too high on fire

it's bong o' clock somewhere!

@Lizbot, I like the Pale Saints version the most *goes and hides*

Lizbot lol

Bong o' clock! lol I want a bong clock now!

@matt… I always say it doesn’t matter what time it is just how long you’ve been awake for

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - Oh nooooo! JK, that's not bad at all! But still, can't replace Dagmar!

Carlos so true

@Rofflelectic - These early sunsets are making it unreasonably difficult for me to pretend summer is still here!

@Lizbot, all blue flowers are nice :-)

And ty for your show tonight

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - True. I like a cornflower. And a cornflower blue Crayola

Fun show Lizbot! You always have such great energy and interesting curation. Grazi!

I wonder what a band called Blue Crayola would sound like

RobMD blue flowers are a theme in A Scanner Darkly!

@Mats Sabbath - Thanks! And thanks for hanging in the chat!

Thanks Liz!

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - We'd have to ask Mayo Thompson! Would it sound the opposite of the Red Crayola?!

Thanks TAndy!

Thanks for the show, BCNU!

@Lizbot, perhaps! @Mats, good to know!

photonic adjustment season

I have been watching the sun set over different buildings in Philly. I should turn my window into a calendar. :)

Roff nice!

Thanks Number 6!

@Rob from Maryland 🦀 - Thanks for tuning in!

As always, mega thanks for your show

@Mats, I really have noticed it a lot these last 2 years.

THANKS Lizbot!

Thanks for tuning in, Richard of Rocky Hill!

THanks, Rofflelectic!

Thanks Mats, and Carlos and everyone else who tuned in today! I'll be back next Thursday!
