Welcome to the (musical) café.
Bama Dan 8:06:09 AM
Good morning, Julio. Happy New Year to you.
Julio P. (host) 8:06:42 AM
'ello. Happy New Year to you as well.
Bama Dan 8:26:56 AM
Funny that you mentioned No New York…I was just listening to some random Lydia Lunch tunes a few nights ago.
Julio P. (host) 8:28:01 AM
Nice. Solo recordings?
Bama Dan 8:28:39 AM
Mainly Teenage Jesus. On youtube.
Bama Dan 8:28:57 AM
Plus some interviews.
Julio P. (host) 8:29:10 AM
She hates punk rock, apparently.
Bama Dan 8:31:43 AM
I can’t believe I watched her eat dinner with Anthony Bourdain. I have no idea what she was talking about!
Julio P. (host) 8:32:04 AM
That happened? I'll watch that later.
Bama Dan 8:33:15 AM
Yes. 🤪
Julio P. (host) 8:33:35 AM
Wasn't Bourdain from NYC?
Bama Dan 8:33:58 AM
Yes.
Julio P. (host) 8:36:12 AM
There you go. I wonder what bands he saw...
Bama Dan 8:46:23 AM
Well, you said you wouldn’t play them today! But this is golden…I’d never listened to Clinic.
Julio P. (host) 8:47:17 AM
And that was Clinic at its most accessible. Later releases got more experiemental and that Residents influenced surfaced.
Bama Dan 8:47:59 AM
Cool. I need to check them out. Thanks!
Bama Dan 8:51:20 AM
I had forgotten that Elvis replaced Bruce Thomas, beginning with this album. I saw him on this album’s tour in Atlanta.
Julio P. (host) 8:52:21 AM
Funny enough, I think this was my initial exposure to Elvis Costello.
Bama Dan 8:54:13 AM
Oh wow. Yeah, I think of anything after Imperial Bedroom as “later” Elvis, lol
Bama Dan 8:57:51 AM
Enjoying this morning’s selections. Lots of debut albums, I’ve noticed. As always, the playlist notes add so much to the enjoyment…
Julio P. (host) 8:58:22 AM
Thanks! Yeah, sometimes I got too much with information...
Julio P. (host) 8:58:42 AM
*go too much
Bama Dan 8:58:57 AM
I don’t think so. Maybe others would feel differently, dunno.
Julio P. (host) 9:03:02 AM
*shrugsa*
Elva De La Torre 9:10:01 AM

Happy New Year, Elva. 😊
Elva De La Torre 9:14:38 AM
Bama Dan! Happy New Year! Good to see you here.
Max Lombardo 9:41:28 AM
I've been a long time listener of Julio's evening show, what a blast to here him in the morning: José José, Fiona Apple, Los Angeles Negros, Elvis Costello. Great playlist!
