The Sonic Bloom Tue Oct 13 with Esoterica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

hey

hey dj esoterica!

Hi, there, Michael!

love hearing this at 3am and know i got 2 more hours of bangers coming! its also nice to catch the sets live

sweet! thx, michael, well, hopefully, you are bothered as much as I am with lack of sleep

thx for the listen

oh yeah and im in a real bad cycle right now, i need to do like a stay up for 35/40 hours and correct it back 2 normal

good luck getting on track. does melatonin help?

Freedy!

Hi Amy Lee!

I saw him playing in the early aughts - great

Takes me back - I bought this cd in 1994

I have never played him on the show I don't think

watch it I may play Jayhawks next

Hi Esoterica! O.M.G. Midwest representin'.

Kinsley Kansas right?

Yes . I feel like I saw Freedy once. I remember him as an engaging storyteller. Idk, it could have been in a dream - I have very vivid & involved dreams.

Rusty is some good rockin' stuff.

agree

what's up amy lee! Experimented and taken lots of stuff for fun, but don't like taking advil/anything for pain, and never taken anything for sleep

ha I get ya

Happy Tuesday evening, everyone!!!

hey randy!

Is Rusty's song about the Graham Greene novel?

hmm I do not know, david

I only read The Quiet American of his

Let it be known that today is the birth anniversary of Arturo Vega, the designer of The Ramones logo - they should celebrate with a sale at HOT TOPIC LOL

cool randy

@michael gudgeon - I often wake up exhausted from my dreams. They are not drug/alcohol induced. Interesting note, after I had a stroke, I rarely had any dreams (even boring ones) for about eight months

Bill. Steve Marriot sings background on this.

Hey G Jax, cool!

I have intense dreams on melatonin

I love that record. I remember it. I had a hippie surfer cousin in Ocean City.I remember that psychedelic album cover hanging in his room when I was a kid.

I meant to say 3-D cover. I don’t really think that is psychedelic really I guess it is but I don’t know.

amazing

Valerian root does that too.

I recall checking out the some girls album in junior high

oh really, Amy lee

I remember the some girls album cover I remember cutting out pictures of my family and my friends and even my dog is sticking them through the little face holes

ha!

hi eso

howdy Andrew:)

That Rolling Stones song was written and sang by Bill Wyman. I wonder if there were any such others.

Interesting David, I think Randy said that Steve Marriott sang back up?

I turned on the radio and there’s the Bug Club, Zeppelin, AND Pavement in the space of 10 minutes. Get out of my head!! :)

haha, sweet - glad you enjoy - or do you?! Chris

just noticed the smiley face - guess I am safe to assume yes.

Oh I definitely love it!

that’s the only Stones song that Bill ever sung I believe. He had some solo stuff though. Je suis in rock star. remember that one?

cool, Chris!

thx for the info, G Jax

Bill Wyman went synth pop in the early 80s

Let us not forget that Halloween is immediately followed by "NOIR-vember"

yes!! randy! I need to cue up my noir shows.

I've only read some of Bill's book "Stone Alone", like the bit about the only time he ever purchased illicit drugs (to save Keith from fatal withdrawal).

Bill‘s drug was women

YOUNG women

ha G Jax

yes, young. Which was the headline grabbing one. But women in general.

yuck

Very much yuck, yes

unfortunately endemic to 70s rock and beyond

I recall that Bill's son was dating said young woman's mother at the same time. One DJ joked that if both couples married, Bill would become his own grandpa!

Jesus - not this dj

what dj was that?

you are always a wealth of info, David

The DJ was "The Hound". https://thehoundnyc.com

Sheeeesh this is HEAVY

thx

hey Tandy, what is?

That Guru Guru!

Did you ever see "The Guru" starring Michael York and Rita Tushingham? This photo of George Harrison on the set lends credence to my suspicion that he was the basis of Michael's character:

https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/y9igt4/george_harrison_rita_tushingham_and_michael_york/#lightbox

oh yeah for sure, Tandy:)

Stones bass player NOW, Darryl Jones, is an absolute stud - played with Sting and Miles (I think he was in Miles's band when we saw him)

Roger Corman made 8 movies based on Poe's work! https://www.starburstmagazine.com/features/tales-of-terror-roger-cormans-poe-cycle

love em all haha

daryl Jones is more bass player than the stones need. Dumbing it down for a premium gig. Can’t blame him for that. Stones were my favorite band of all time, but could care less about anything in the last 30 years at least..Tattoo You I guess with the last solid front to back record

I get that

tattoo you was first stadium concert tour

my

it even tattoo you was eh in parts. I really like the one before that “emotional Rescue“ which kinda in some ways is forgotten because it’s between some girls and tattoo you. It’s not as good as some growth but it’s better than tattoo you. My opinion, but who cares

At JFK Stadium? Maybe you saw me there.

At the Murph

for you Californians out there

I was first day at JFK. Right in the middle of the field.

Jack Murphy in San San Diego

Skip the second San haha

which was the first day of the entire tour actually

in SD?

first date of the tour was JFK in Philly

The whole concert is on YouTube. Pretty cool because I remember certain little things from the concert and there it is preserved to this day.

oh right I knew that! ha

Golly I love June 44

hey Kelly!

this June of 44 song is a great song

yes agree

Love this. Dude sounds a little bit like Rob Zombie.

yeah you are right

G Jax

the Oh Sees and Superchonk gonna summon Solomon! Just poppin in to say hi. Snapped Ankles! June of 44! The Fall! Great stuff dj.

hey mats ha

I think he is busy tonigt

tonight

thanks you, mats!

it is the urgh screening at philamoca

saw superchunk in 2011 with bright eyes was sweet!

I never have seen bright eyes

Chaki and Chris Slusarenko present another "Urgh!" screening tomorrow in Jersey City:

cool, David and Hugo burnham just facilitated discussion with them I think last night in NYC

Great to hear Crazy by Pylon

love those folks - pylon

I never did see them

:-(

That song was unfamiliar to me but I instantly recognized Vanessa's voice, having seen her last May:
