already Screaming

pretty much always silently screaming here

good morning. the cats are awaiting daylight savings time to wake me up earlier.

good morning, Dale. I'll let my cat wait an hour

enjoying the Dark Mourning created here 🧛🏻‍♂️

Good morning…Polska, my peoples.

I thought you might, MrM 🧟

Good morning, dan C. some fine music comes from Poland, not getting enough attention and respect

As in, how many…does it take to…? Being from Chicago, I think I’ve heard them all.

yeah, weird how the Polish got that reputation. I remember in Germany they joked that way about folks from the Dutch province of Friesland

I went to a HS Halloween party yesterday. Not too many dancing to my DJ request, Rock The Casbah. Oh well.

good morning ǝʌɐꓷ, MrM, Dale and dan!

good morning, Stevie P

Wasn’t, “Meathead” on All In The Family, Polish? Late, great Rob Reiner. May have contributed in some way.

@ dan, today's HS kids can't relate to the music we grew up with

g'mornin' Christine

Yes, dan, the character was supposed to be Polish, but didn't start the Polish bashing

oh good morning, Christine

Yeah, Don’t Fear The Reaper is more Halloween than Never Never by Taylor Swift. IMO.

nice doom and gloom with an uplifting bent to it.

Good morning DTO 😶‍🌫️ and all ☕️

To you as well C!

Good morning everyone

Apocalyptic

good morning, Rob from MD

Any Polish punk or post punk bands? Not a request.

@DtO, we enjoyed the Wardruna you played earlier

“Dark…dark!”- LEGO Batman

glad you enjoyed, Rob from MD

I bet someone in Wire had some Polish in him.

@ dan, sure there are. You'd hear them on other shows, though

The programming should be interesting Election Day.

@ dan, Kurws is a progressive punk and is heard on TNA

I will take a listen, thanks

tubular bellsy there.

I’ll say!

....if the residents had covered it.

@dan, prog bands from Poland that I've played include Gargantua, SBB, Alters, Kontraburger, Niechec, Apple Bells, Besides

I was in Brussels Summers of ‘71. They were still making WWII repairs. As was East Berlin.

Wow, plenty to explore there!

pretty creepy tune

Univers Zero certainly can be creepy, Stevie P

Are you setting us up for a jump scare, your special hour?

Always with the screeeeaming 🗣

I find Rite Of Spring pretty damn scary myself.

You cover the globe…like Sherwin-Williams.

Wow, that’s intriguing

no jump scares, dan, but things will get difficult(er) after 9:00

Prepping now

Straight-backed chair, top button, etc.

I’ve found Velcro bands for my cuffs

Tack in your shoe, etc.

Closest I’ve come to small dog jumping in the bathtub, 4th of July.

That Dune 3 trailer looks bonkers.

Muad'Dib!!!

good morning, Mok. I'm sure I'll enjoy that film, too

Shai hulud!

Well all being riding the sand-worm shortly I feel

TopNotch First Half of Show, DJ DaveTheObscure 🦇💟🧌

There’s little “allegedly” about this track

thanks, MrM 💜

BOO! ChristineBoo! 👋👻

Opera prog!

THIS IS OUTSTANDING

Not on the WestSiiidddeee

Oh NOW haha

I exist 30 seconds into the future

Good morning, MrM 💀 Boo 👻!

⚰️🐝🐝🐝🎂

Good morning. This set is amazing!

Hey, Jeff T, welcome. Good to hear you are enjoying!

Only for you D…I prepare to listen

Uh oh…

👉(▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)👈

I am adequately uncomfortable for the next hour

IKEA now sells a DLH chair, in four finishes

You deserve a cut D

conflict of interest, dan

👉💀👈

🤚🐼✋

I said “deserve” bro’

fair enough, dan

Is he interviewing ants?

-17dB all I can take…

recording the sound of butterfly wings

Or rather yapping neighbor dog “snowball” can take

Oh my god, this is uncomfortable. (⊙_⊙;)

He’s following in Moody Blues shoes

@ LoveTheYogaGuy, that is the desired effect

but life is uncomfortable at times. (⊙_⊙;) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So true sir

a little discomfort is okay, but there should be no pain

Nausea?

not the intended effect

Discomfort can be difficult

We can’t speak for our canine friends

saw a sign on a billboard for chocolate-covered Twinkies

deep fried too?

Guilding the Lily

Whatever it is, it’s pissed off, and approaching…

Been more than 30yrs since I had a Twinkie…

The piano clacking has me wondering why a Twinkie is called a Twinkie

Don't let the chocolate lure you back! Stay Strong!

Don’t worry Ltyg it’s still good it has a very long shelf life

Well, ain’t that a dang DINGDONG dotDamnIt!!!

IT IS !!!!!

Utility Hostess Kitchen!

Wow, that was something else… I just watched Ken Russell’s “The Devils,” a movie from the 1970s that was banned from theaters when it was released—but is now playing down the street at AMC with an NC-17 rating! Interesting… But anyway, this track could’ve lived inside that movie…

The hour of lea$t pledges…ju$t $aying

I really want to see that, but unlikely near me

Oh my God, I’m feeling the tension… I’m feeling tense… Un—-comfortable……… (⊙_⊙;)

Howdy, adorable abnormals

I feel like I’m at Satan‘s birthday party

Other than “Tommy” I really like his films

oh hello, jimboooooo

For some reason, I feel like getting high and watching a movie… This is not what I was looking for… Sometimes life makes you want to stay in the discomfort…

Frozen shot of Stoli please

So dark, so difficult

“Dark” Zeuhl?!? Is there another kind?
