Thank you for posting the ꪜoter registration info. That should be on 'PRB's website.
Casey (host) 3:07:14 PM
I keep seeing loads of ads on TV so I figured it was only right to do my part for the coming weeks
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 3:08:25 PM
I've just lifted it and will include it on my playlists as well.
Bud Burroughs 3:10:13 PM
Excellent idea - there's still time!
Bud Burroughs 3:10:37 PM
I've always loved this weird, disturbing record.
Vaughn Skywatcher Heintz 3:12:48 PM
Hi
Casey (host) 3:12:34 PM
Hi Vaughn!
Casey (host) 3:12:44 PM
Bud, I read about it the day after Pierre Henry died but I only got around to hearing it recently.
Bud Burroughs 3:14:36 PM
The first time I heard it I thought "why are they ruining this cool music with those annoying noises?" It grew on me, though.
Casey (host) 3:15:50 PM
I also read that the band didn't want it to be sold as a Spooky Tooth record. Probably for that exact reason.
Andrew Wilkinson 3:24:08 PM
Ahh love this song / BJM. Thank you.
Casey (host) 3:46:56 PM
No problem! It's a great record. Comes up on my shuffle all the time
Bud Burroughs 4:23:33 PM
Been hearing this Bent Arcana record on several WPRB shows, and I'm really liking it.
Casey (host) 4:26:40 PM
John Dwyer put out a new Damaged Bug record this year too. I've been more impressed with both of them than most of the Oh Sees stuff that's come out the last few years.
Casey (host) 4:59:25 PM
Thanks for listening everyone! Make sure you have a plan to vote and tune in next week same time!
