Mark 10:02:05 AM
the show transitions between dave & jen r absolutely sublime !
Brian D 10:02:06 AM
Roger! Not that Roger! Walk with me Sidney... let us run red lights together....
the_dude 10:02:07 AM
So cool! Never heard this version before. And hello!
the_dude 10:02:20 AM
Agreed Mark
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 10:02:26 AM
Ah, Syd Barrett. Truly the Madman Across the Water.
Jen (host) 10:02:51 AM
Haha I loved that transition, too! Hi, friends.
Jen (host) 10:05:27 AM
Just to be clear, “fave” is not a normal word in my vocabulary.
Brian D 10:06:12 AM
I have not heard the station ID in a while with "mmm Stuff and stuff and stuff ...." spliced speech. That was prb wasn't it?
Mark 10:06:33 AM
lol that’s gonna b my new code word for problematic focuses: gardening :)
Brian D 10:07:46 AM
Full Contact Gardening! Suh-suh-ssssss-SUNDAYYY! In the MUD BOGGGH....
Jen (host) 10:08:35 AM
Haha gardening and stuff? Brian, I’ll have to research the ID. Or make one.
Peter in PA 10:08:47 AM
One of the upsides of the lockdown is being able to stream your old shows during the workday and flag new artists to explore. Rock on!
Jen (host) 10:09:43 AM
Peter, awesome!!!!
Jen (host) 10:10:26 AM
I’m behind on posting old shows, too - will try to get more up today.
Brian D 10:16:23 AM
Oh the ID did not mention gardening. Just some other statement then the word "stuff abd stuff and stuff" spliced. Sounded Negativland ish.
Brian D 10:17:15 AM
And slightly like Waylon Smithers too
Jen (host) 10:17:29 AM
But now that we’ve brought gardening into it...
jimbO3.O 10:18:29 AM
Strawman is sooo goood! I am here for all your gardening chat consult needs.🌱
Jen (host) 10:19:39 AM
Jumbo, yes! Finally someone understands!
Brian D 10:20:20 AM
Can't wait for the CSA to open speaking of plant life.
jimbO3.O 10:23:48 AM
Grow your own as well! I have spinach, cilantro, lettuce, beets, peas all coming up which I planted direct from seed 3 weeks ago. Grab a container, put in some soil and experiment!
Brian D 10:24:36 AM
We have 2 red onion pets at home. They sprouted. So we did the ol spear w toothpicks & put in lil tray of water. One pushed itself over the roots grew so quick in 1 day!
jimbO3.O 10:25:12 AM
Nice!
Brian D 10:25:59 AM
Condo living w not much direct sun on back balcony. Just few hrs in a.m. So we stick wwith CSA
Brian D 10:26:53 AM
Maybe we'll do a little herb tray in front window inside one day
Jen (host) 10:28:03 AM
That’s a great move with the containers! I was doing some herbs and murdered them, but you’re inspiring me to try again...
Thomas Cleveland 10:29:54 AM
Just want to report that my sis is in Bad Moves and I was very happy to hear them get some love!
jimbO3.O 10:30:40 AM
Bad Moves are RAD!
Jen (host) 10:31:48 AM
@Thomas - wow, right on! That album is so great! Tell your sis she’s a friend of ours!
Christine Duffy 10:32:20 AM
Pop-O-Pies! Good morning, all
Thomas Cleveland 10:32:25 AM
Done.
Jen (host) 10:33:03 AM
Christine, it took me way too long to realize that was a a Grateful Dead cover.
Christine Duffy 10:34:49 AM
And I've never realized it, not being a Dead fan! Although I've seen the Dead live once, bc it's the Grateful Dead, and I believe that is the law)
Jen (host) 10:37:03 AM
Haha yes! I’m a scofflaw, apparently.
Mark 10:44:28 AM
Ha California law required yearly mandatory dead concert attendance / i think it’s since been rescinded:)
Christine Duffy 10:45:51 AM
🇦🇺 King Gizzard! 👑
the_dude 10:57:01 AM
Nice and sludgey
Christine Duffy 10:57:58 AM
I bet DJ Flex Luthor would approve.
Jen (host) 10:59:40 AM
Sludgy for coffee time.
the_dude 11:00:50 AM
Great way to wake up! Yeah his shows are now unfortunately past my bedtime...
the_dude 11:02:29 AM
Also how many dead covers does pop o pies have? Lol
Jen (host) 11:03:29 AM
Well, they did Truckin' at least 4 different ways.... Plus the rest of the White EP
the_dude 11:06:48 AM
Gotta listen to the other versions, ever watch freaks and geeks? It's a great show, just rewatched recently and it's pretty funny the way Lindsey gets into the dead at the end
Tom 11:07:48 AM
freaks and geeks great show that got cancelled way too soon
Jen (host) 11:08:35 AM
I might be the only person of my generation who has never actually seen Freaks and Geeks. Never too late, I suppose.
Mark 11:09:32 AM
flex would approve of those two ! / i shazam a great deal of the playlist and i recognize those as flex plays by the band member photos that come up !
the_dude 11:09:33 AM
Not at all, holds up well, on one of the steaming what have yous
Tom 11:09:46 AM
totally nails what the late 70's early 80's era was like
the_dude 11:10:05 AM
As someone who hasn't lived it, I believe it though
the_dude 11:10:39 AM
It's kinda nice in it's 1 season thing too, doesn't get ruined but two seasons woulda been nice. Read up on what the writers would have done , interesting
the_dude 11:10:54 AM
That also spent most of the shows budget on music rights!
Tom 11:11:25 AM
music definitely helped make it as good as it was
Colin McDonnell 11:12:25 AM
I never watched freaks and geeks either. I needed a new show. I've been a freight train surfing YouTube hole. kinda need more plot.
Tom 11:14:12 AM
and all the actors/actresses in it were basically unknown at the time it aired, all went on to bigger things now
the_dude 11:15:22 AM
Haha yeah I feel ya there Colin, it's worth the time for sure. Yeah totally Tom, funny seeing them young and they do a great job, and are also actually playing their ages or close to it
Jen (host) 11:15:30 AM
Adding it to my list! And speaking of late 70s/early 80s...this Cassie record is so amazing.
the_dude 11:16:59 AM
There was so much going on in late 70s it blows my mind, I feel like if I was around then I probably would have missed most of it too
Tom 11:18:46 AM
I lived it and still missed tons of it
Dana K (DBTF) 11:20:34 AM
That Cassie song really ruled, wow.
Jen (host) 11:21:09 AM
@dana, it's so great - I had never heard of them, so reissue is so welcome!
Tom 11:22:21 AM
was good tune, had never heard before either,need to check out some more
the_dude 11:26:38 AM
Those shows sound awesome! How packed were they?
Jen (host) 11:28:11 AM
The Amoeba shows? By all rights, the walls should have been torn down, but they were surprisingly sparse. I'm sure I've missing a million amazing shows there, but I consider myself quite lucky!
the_dude 11:38:52 AM
Yeah the amoeba shows, that's so cool! Definitely lucky. Record store shows are fun
Bo 11:41:10 AM
Hi Jen! Just listening and loving the show,, at work so can't chat, Isle Of Wight is of the south coast of England, great to hear Cassie again after all these years, take care, back to the grind!
the_dude 11:41:42 AM
Booo to the grind bo
Christine Duffy 11:44:40 AM
@Bo, don't work too hard.
Jen (host) 11:48:37 AM
hi Bo! thanks for dropping in! And yes, Cassie!!
the_dude 11:48:47 AM
Oh I wanted more from that shels track!
Jen (host) 11:57:05 AM
More Shels soon, @the_dude :}
Colin McDonnell 11:58:50 AM
