We're gonna need a full report on Jon's "end of show rituals", including where the carcasses are disposed of
Jon Solomon 8:23:17 PM
I leave the bones in the neighbor’s trash bin and split for the highway before anyone gets wise!
Dave Morris 8:25:37 PM
He was always a wiseguy of the old school, that Solomon kid
jimboo 8:30:27 PM

Colin 8:44:37 PM
i'm over here adding coloured balls to all my lists
Mike Lupica (host) 8:45:47 PM
SO MANY LISTS
Ambrose Hughes 8:46:28 PM
I grew up playing snooker, coloured balls were all over the table!
jimboo 8:50:15 PM
Lists help us remember things... like our many transgressions!
Mike Lupica (host) 8:50:39 PM
LISTS OF BAD LIFE CHOICES, I GOTS THEM
Colin 8:51:46 PM
problem with my lists are that i only look at them when i'm making additions to them
Jon Solomon 8:53:30 PM
Budgie?
TAndy 8:53:39 PM
I felt similar pride when I was able to convince my classic rock pop music listening dad to potentially see Mdou Moctar in Julay
Jon Solomon 8:55:23 PM
I found all 12 of those 45s at PREX in one fell swoop in 1991 or 1992!

JEALOUS!
Jon Solomon 8:59:17 PM
I think they were each $1.99 to $2.99? It was a startling discovery!
Ambrose Hughes 8:59:33 PM

TAndy 9:04:37 PM
Oh my god I Always wondered where this vocal sample came from
Mike Lupica (host) 9:05:14 PM
All roads lead back to Shinehead!
TAndy 9:06:36 PM
Big love to whoever made that mid 90s hardcore rave track I heard with the sample

Chris Mohr 9:06:54 PM
Thanks for an enjoyable Free-form Pathogen once again, DJ Mike! Happily listening but not very chatty.
Colin 9:08:05 PM
when this shinehead song came out it was such a modern form of reggae to me
Colin 9:08:30 PM
it sounds like it was recorded in 1941 now
Ossy 9:10:23 PM
Sounds 80s anime

Colin 9:41:57 PM
where we are going, there are no anchors!
Colin 9:44:08 PM
my mind is still asking where the missing volumes of that 12 volume set are? it's savage. are you gonna "borrow" (forever) jon's copies?
Mike Lupica (host) 9:45:23 PM
Colin, the nature of my quest is clear. Actually, I'll be in London at the end of this summer, so I'll be sure to hit up that outdoor record flea market I remember on Portobello Road from years ago.
Colin 9:47:21 PM
it sounds like a cursed collection, if you buy the missing volumes, there will be another incomplete set for another collector to suffer through.💀
Mike Lupica (host) 9:48:00 PM
The vicious cycle!
Colin 9:48:36 PM
i didn't know 5 minutes ago, but now i know i needed srongboi

I like it when record sellers smirk at a purchase
Dave Morris 9:55:13 PM
Jackie DeShannon's husband wrote the MacGyver theme song, if you're taking requests
Mike Lupica (host) 9:55:41 PM
Please tell me Jackie DeShannon is married to Mike Post.
