DJ Breezy 12:01:35 PM

Dan Ruccia (host) 12:02:14 PM
I'm so psyched for this record to come out in a few weeks. All three songs I've heard from it are soooooooooooooo good
Brian D 12:03:24 PM
Ya captivating stuff here
Christine 🦊 12:08:11 PM
Nice start to the show 🐙✨🦑
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:09:12 PM
Thanks, Christine!
Krista 12:14:02 PM
Perfect playlist for a cloudy day and fancy candle. We just came in from identifying grasses outside. Very exciting to see the purple top triden, the host to the futuristic sounding butterfly, the Zabulon Skipper
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:15:32 PM
I would absolutely by Zabulon Skipper's black metal album
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:16:15 PM
It is a cool looking butterfly, too!
Christine 🦊 12:18:13 PM
Hey Dan, Krista, Brian, Breezy & all 👋 Zabulon Skipper would be a perfect band name.
Krista 12:19:39 PM
Zabulon Skipper also sounds like he could be singing this song
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:20:21 PM
hahahah. You're not wrong, Krista
Christine 🦊 12:28:27 PM
Halloween...only 26 days away 🎃👻 🦇 🍭🍬🍫
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:29:44 PM
Any of y'all dressing up for halloween this year?
DSM 12:40:50 PM
This album really loud
DSM 12:42:32 PM
Hey everybody. Always dress up for Halloween tho I haven’t been to a party in a few years now. Jackolantern Jason this year
Christine 🦊 12:43:53 PM
Good question, Dan. I should dress up for Halloween this year. Hi, DSM!
DSM 12:46:18 PM
This should be the official version from now on
DSM 12:47:00 PM
Hey Christine 👋🍂👻
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:47:14 PM
Samuel And Scott and Sunn
Dan Ruccia (host) 12:56:12 PM
To answer my own question from before: no costume for me this year, probably. My daughter is very excited to be a blue morpho butterly, though
Krista 1:10:32 PM
I'm dressing as a butterfly, my soon to be born baby as a caterpillar, and my son as an...octopus driving a garbage truck (his choice)
Brian D 1:17:18 PM
This is a great ride!
Dan Ruccia (host) 1:20:03 PM
It really is! Apparently they actually excerpted some part of this on the Dinosaur-L record as the song "#7"
Ambrose Hughes 1:22:30 PM
Hi Dan!🐙 needed this😊
Dan Ruccia (host) 1:24:31 PM
Thanks, Ambrose!
Dan Ruccia (host) 1:25:11 PM
@krista: An octopus driving a garbage truck sounds totally amazing. Gotta love little kit creativity
Christine 🦊 1:51:01 PM
@Dan and Krista, all your Halloween costumes sound fantastic! Krista, an octopus driving a garbage truck is gonna be a STUNNER! 🐙 🚚
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:05:26 PM
Springtime=Gareth Liddiard of Tropical Fuck Storm, Chris Abrahams of the Necks, and Jim White of the Dirty Three, etc.
jimbeaux 2:05:35 PM
"Thirwell Doing Things" is a much better name than Foetus...
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:07:16 PM
J.G.'s Industrial Circus Revue?
jimbeaux 2:08:39 PM
acceptable!
jimbeaux 2:09:17 PM
All's Well That Thirl(s)well
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:11:41 PM
Like it
Dan Unterburger 2:20:06 PM
That Springtime track was amazing. David Yow wrote up the album on Joyful Noise's website: https://www.joyfulnoiserecordings.com/products/springtime
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:24:17 PM
I especially like how little it sounds like anything any of them do in their other bands, and yet it all hits just right. Like the kind of late 80s ultra-expressionist rock from folks like Nick Cave, Crime and the City Solution, etc
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:24:49 PM
And Yow's description is so spot on
Dan Unterburger 2:31:17 PM
Yeah. I recognized Gareth Liddiard's voice but couldn't place it. Definitely buying that one on limited red.
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:33:11 PM
Having now listened to the whole Amyl and the Sniffers record, I can safely say that it is one of the hardest rocking punk albums I've heard it a while
Dan Unterburger 2:34:48 PM
The Amyl is darn good. I've spun it a few times, too. Defo a grower.

DJ DanRuccia, many thanks for another GREAT Show! Such SWELL Selections! Cheers and kind regards to you!
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:38:33 PM
Thanks as always, MrM!
Christine 🦊 2:53:14 PM
That Smoke Bellow album is really catching my ear. Thanks for another fun show, Dan! 🙏
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:54:11 PM
Thanks, Christine! It's definitely a fun album!
Christine 🦊 2:56:19 PM
Cephalopods be dancin 🦑🎉 🐙
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:58:04 PM
A confession: I've been doing this show for over a year now, and I still can't reliably spell "cephalopod"
Dan Ruccia (host) 2:58:13 PM
Thanks for listening everyone!
Ambrose Hughes 2:59:14 PM
Thanks for the great tunes Dan!
Christine 🦊 3:00:05 PM
(I had to look it up) 📖
Brian D 3:00:11 PM
Good time Dan
