I see the 'Preview' function is working again on the playlist - one of Spinitron's coolest features.
Mike Lupica (host) 8:14:53 PM
Indeed! Much more reliable than calling the DJ and humming the song you just heard.
Mike Lupica (host) 8:15:55 PM
Not that I dislike people calling and humming at me.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 8:16:23 PM
And I know not to expect them to to have every song available, but I am impressed with how many they do have.
Pat 8:26:01 PM
This Death Valley Girls is great. Something about the melody reminds me of a Talking Heads song but I can't put my finger on it.
Mike Lupica (host) 8:29:03 PM
I am super late to the DVG party, but I dig this new record lots.
Pat 8:31:54 PM
Ditto on Death Valley Girls, will have to investigate further.
Elliot 8:40:18 PM
let's bring back 'festoon'

Mike Lupica (host) 9:11:37 PM
Alright, glad I'm getting a full house to momentarily complain about the quality of my daughter's headphones (which I'm using because mine are busted.)

Mike Lupica (host) 9:24:39 PM
Also, welcome Space Cowboy!
Space Cowboy 9:25:34 PM
nice van halen poster - 3.00 but 2.50 with coupon what a bargin
Mike Lupica (host) 9:26:05 PM
Yeah, I think tix were .25 cents cheaper if you bought 'em at Orange Julius.
jimbeaux 9:29:42 PM
Or free if you gave HEADWINDS or EULOGY a ride to the gig in your station wagon.
Mike Lupica (host) 9:30:57 PM
Hahaha!
jimbeaux 9:31:17 PM
brown Torino wagon, to be exact
Mike Lupica (host) 9:31:18 PM
Wood-paneled Pacer w/ mags.
jimbeaux 9:32:15 PM
The Pacer broke down, and HEADWINDS missed their big break. Never live it down.
Mike Lupica (host) 9:49:56 PM
I swear to god, this Rainbow song is topical.
jimbeaux 9:51:16 PM
It just...smolders.
Mike Lupica (host) 9:55:00 PM
At least I didn't play Blackmore's Night. Or Knight. Or whatever.

Mike Lupica (host) 10:21:12 PM
"Like Killdozer With Bagpipes" is the name of SOMEone's biography.
jimbeaux 10:23:03 PM
I would read that! Ghost covers that song...that must be where I first heard.
Mike Lupica (host) 10:25:22 PM
For realz? Ghost covers Cromagnon? I gotta go find that. Seems so obvious, and yet perfect.
jimbeaux 10:26:29 PM
In Stormy Nights
jimbeaux 10:48:28 PM
Ghost (Japan), not any those other multifarious Ghosts-es
Mike Lupica (host) 10:52:08 PM
