Aural Medication

May 28, 2021 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM

With Rina

A weekly infusion of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…musical remedies both natural & synthetic, some locally sourced, some internationally imported. From Cleveland to the Congo, from Bushwick to Brazil. I will be mixing up the medicine with everything from the old-fashioned to the new – fangled, the rust – corroded & star spangled; precious antiques & shiny new balloons, dusty relics & fancy gadgets. Tune in for your tonic for a tired mind, an elixir for the listless. Taken with meals or on an empty stomach – it’s always good for what ails ya.

I just got back from S.I. half an hour ago and traffic was pretty light....BQE and the Belt running smooth
Billy Crosby (1) 11:11:13 AM
Madison Square Garden was 19,000 strong Tuesday night for the Knicks
Billy Crosby (1) 11:14:30 AM
Prices for major concerts will probably be pretty expensive for a while.
Rina (host) 11:19:39 AM
How was the traffic out of the city - you were coming in, right?
Billy Crosby (1) 11:20:11 AM
It was a little heavier but not by much
Billy Crosby (1) 11:20:40 AM
I know a bunch of folks that left last night
Rina (host) 11:21:07 AM
makes sense
Billy Crosby (1) 11:21:44 AM
and it's pretty quiet around here so I guess most have split by now
Rina (host) 11:23:20 AM
I'm going to the beach tomorrow - just in time for the rain...
Billy Crosby (1) 11:23:52 AM
maybe you'll luck out.....the forecasters have been off recently
Rina (host) 11:26:57 AM
Change of scenery, fresh air, will be OK
Billy Crosby (1) 11:30:37 AM
I watched the Knicks playoff game Tuesday night and the joint was rockin'....sold out house....and loud!
Rina (host) 11:32:13 AM
people have been chomping at the bit
Billy Crosby (1) 11:32:52 AM
and restaurants full as well....so by September we will see how we did
Rina (host) 11:35:29 AM
so far so good, fingers crossed
Billy Crosby (1) 11:35:59 AM
It's a big sample size
Calvin Williams 11:48:49 AM
Alright alright alright alright alright alright alright allllllright!
Rina (host) 11:55:04 AM
hey Calvin!
Rina (host) 11:55:52 AM
not trying to be Mathew McConaghy or anything
Rina (host) 11:56:04 AM
I have no idea how he spells his name
Calvin Williams 11:59:27 AM
The song did feel very McConaughey admittedly
Rina (host) 12:00:10 PM
it's the "alright, alright..." thing - that's something he's sort of known for
Calvin Williams 12:01:52 PM
That phrase was from Dazed and Confused, right?
Rina (host) 12:02:24 PM
I believe so
Calvin Williams 12:04:14 PM
I feel like I've seen that movie in passing, probably back when Comedy Central played movies on the regular
Rina (host) 12:04:45 PM
I saw it when it came out, god knows when
Calvin Williams 12:09:56 PM
Worth the watch?
Rina (host) 12:11:21 PM
Oh yeah sure, it's a good teenage romp
Calvin Williams 12:18:58 PM
I'll have to check out sometime
Calvin Williams 12:19:20 PM
I'm also gonna have to check out Pharoah Sanders, this is a good vibe here
Rina (host) 12:20:15 PM
some of his stuff is out there
Rina (host) 12:20:42 PM
But yeah, some pretty cool stuff
Calvin Williams 12:21:43 PM
Is expect nothing less from a person named Pharoah
Rina (host) 12:22:03 PM
haha
Rina (host) 12:42:09 PM
one of Funkadelic's more, er, subtle tunes
Billy Crosby (1) 12:47:18 PM
This Curtis Mayfield is the shit!
Rina (host) 12:47:40 PM
right?
Billy Crosby (1) 12:48:27 PM
Back in the day the radio would play "Got To Give It Up" my Marvin Gaye after this
Rina (host) 12:48:51 PM
oh yeah, that'd be great
Billy Crosby (1) 12:53:01 PM
so tempted to do that tonight!
Rina (host) 12:53:27 PM
I have no problem with it
Billy Crosby (1) 12:54:01 PM
Cool...thought I would ask first....I'll even give you a shout out
Rina (host) 12:54:54 PM
no need, you can own it!
Rina (host) 12:58:19 PM
I just found this song & realized it must have been the basis for that reggae hit
Billy Crosby (1) 12:59:27 PM
it works perfectly
