Bama Dan 10:06:12 PM
Hey kids! I have to confess I did not know what a Ghillie suit was. 😕
Julio P. (host) 10:07:34 PM
I knew of it, having seen one before. But didn't know it has a name until I researched the band.
Julio P. (host) 10:07:39 PM

Julio P. (host) 10:15:54 PM
Good stuff, yes
Bama Dan 10:16:45 PM
Didn't know about the song order change on Duck Stab, Julio. I thought the lead tune was always Constantinople.
Julio P. (host) 10:17:43 PM
Heck, I didn't know it was originally an EP. I have the LP with "Constantinople" opening. Learn something new every day
Bama Dan 10:18:17 PM
Yeah, interesting bit of trivia!
Norma Lipout 10:30:59 PM
I am enjoying this cut... the transition was so sudden that it had me checking if something was wrong with my player!
Julio P. (host) 10:31:14 PM
hahaha sorry!
Bama Dan 10:34:50 PM
And I'll just throw in there that the original 1981 version of Claro Que Si was on Ralph Records. :-)
Julio P. (host) 10:35:18 PM
Ooooooo!
Bama Dan 10:36:34 PM
Speak of the devil...

Very cool that they will be playing in Tucson in May!
Julio P. (host) 10:53:34 PM

Norma Lipout 11:05:05 PM
Oh, I can tell that's going to be one of those songs that gets stuck in my head
Julio P. (host) 11:06:24 PM

Bama Dan 11:07:45 PM
"There is...no pilot..."
Norma Lipout 11:08:56 PM
Going for some very eerie songs tonight, I'm liking it
Bama Dan 11:09:16 PM
Me too!
Julio P. (host) 11:09:24 PM
It will perk up! And then it won't.
Norma Lipout 11:09:41 PM
This one is a mini-horror story in and of itself, it's great
Julio P. (host) 11:09:45 PM
Either way, thanks for joining me on my hare-brained musical journey
Bama Dan 11:10:45 PM
Why no, thank YOU, Julio. 😁
Izzy K 11:22:49 PM

Bama Dan 11:23:33 PM
Gotta love the bass line. Sounds like they're playing a chord on 3...

Richie Cortez 11:29:01 PM
I do gotta say, I wish this block was a lot longer than two hours. This has been a pretty great list and I find myself saying both things every Thursday.
Julio P. (host) 11:29:58 PM
Thank you for the kind words, Richie. Glad you're able to tune in. Maybe more hours for the show in the future. Who knows!

Richie Cortez 11:33:17 PM
Would be great. For sure glad this is up. Kept searching a totally different word for the Let’s See Each Other song.
Bama Dan 11:39:04 PM
Julio, did you see DJ El Toro's Zoom presentation early last year about Soft Cell? It was very cool, but unfortunately it never got recorded.
Julio P. (host) 11:39:29 PM
No! What was the gist?
Bama Dan 11:40:06 PM
It wwas part of the joint KXCI/UofA series on LGBTQ+ musicians.
Julio P. (host) 11:40:44 PM
Oooooooooooh. That rings a bell.
Bama Dan 11:41:18 PM
The other 3 presentations were archived, but unfortunately not that one.
Julio P. (host) 11:41:37 PM
That's unfortunate.
Julio P. (host) 11:53:25 PM
Thank you all for listening and partaking in the chat. Tune in next week! Gonna open with a Dead Kennedys and Iron Maiden 1-2 blast. Don't miss it.
Bama Dan 11:53:58 PM
