thank you <333333

some great recommendations from the legendary turshu

Really enjoying this show so far!

Hello, this playlist is the active one now?

yes!

sorry for the confusion

Alright! I'll tell TAndy and the other person

And two other people just dropped in over there. And I just dropped in over here

Out of curiosity, was Turshu dj-ing for the first half hour? I was at the store

oops I cannot access that chat on this computer I think

yes it was a fourth simulacrum feature haha

So i have a parallel universe happening!?!

We..

I told them (twice) to come here: TAndy, Michael, oldmotorbikeguy, and Amy Lee

the more WPRB chats the merrier

Hi Amy!

Let's have one chat for each song ;-)

Xmal Deutschland and Red Lorry Yellow Lorry = both found my record collection in the 80's

@Marcus, isn't it nice when records find you?

im jealous

And then Lush in the 90's ..

@Amy, Merlin the app is my spirit bird?

@Rob : I love it when WPRB plays the oldies since I (we) are now the oldies

I love these 80s & 90s songs

Agree

the vibe before: 😊 the vibe now:😈

Aw yeah!

Austin, TX: Slacker, Austin Stories, The Clique, SXSW

We be banging in the 80s 90s.

DONIMOOOOO :-DDDDDD

why did i just start flying around the room....

All hail liz fraizier and plentiful cheap digital reverb

When "The Spangle Maker" 12" came out we played it non-stop for 3 months

Yes Marcus!!!

i loved when she said *ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚

I drove 3 hours to see 5 songs and I was happy about it.

I heard Pearly Dew Drops Drop for the first time on a local alt radio station back when it came out. I was so taken by the song that I called the DJ from a payphone I stopped at to find out who it was and what it was called.

I was giving thought to fav albums. For instance, a lot of my favs, coincidentally, were also the 1st I heard by a band/artist.

The DJ could tell me the band but not the song title because it was on a label promo release which only had the band names iirc. Once I knew the band, I hit the good record stores because I HAD TO HAVE THAT SONG. I was going to buy every Cocteau Twins record until I found that song

Fortunately, my first purchase had the song on it (The Spangle Maker ep)

And the next Cocteau Twins release was Treasure! I love Donimo so much, even better than Pearly-Dewdrops Drop

Oh you devil!

As much as that sounds challenging its almost romantic the chance of the pursuit that once existed

Also a total sucker for the Bauhaus

I have since realized I have sentimental favs & actual fav/better album favs. And they are equal

@Amy, I'm on the same page a lot of times vis a vis on your fave albums

I feel the same...but also feel that the two types of favs exist in two completely separate realms

ok wait thats whats what youre saying oops

im behind

@Rob - that is a great music love/discovery story.

@Marcus 3:47, yes, we are indeed the oldies!

Rob, it's our turn! Sweating to the Oldies with Bauhaus, Joy Division, Flipper, The Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow, Minor Threat, Liz Phair...

@Marcus, yessss. Flipper, Minor Threat, Liz Phair ... the whole nine yards

Moiré this has been a great show!

Thank youuuu

I credit my parents' obsession with the 80s (for good reason)

Moiré, your parents are the best!

and this has been a wonderful show!

Great show DJ! You captured a lot of the "Bat Cave" vibe: the home of the London Goth scene in the early 80's
