Hello!!!

hey

hi hanna and tb!!

Hey DJ Commie Francis *waves* Thanks for playing that Vashti Bunyan song. It's a gem. 💎

hi Christine! i love her so much

Also, hello to all the cool people in the chat 👋

it's going to be another relatively chill show, being pastoral and whatnot. i'm pretty sure

Keep it chill trying to read a spiritual book tonite :)

well it will be what it will be but most of the stuff i have is chill

Dang, that Premiers song is great! Thee Headcoats really took that to the bank (not a bad thing in my book)

Keeping it chill & pastoral, and reading a book sounds perfect. That's what I'm doing (reading).

Hey, jimbeaux & Mark 👋

Hey everyone! Happy S A T U R D A Y

NIGHT

AH YES the chat!

Lovin this, it's some dang classic wprb

thank you! yes here is the chat you found it!!

Perfect for a S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y...well, you know the rest.

EVENING

😄

I love that Comus record so much and haven't heard it a long time. I also loved that Bulgarian song

yeah i always think about playing drip drip for halloween then i decide it's too messed up

ok 1 loud song

They named their album Hayseed Hardcore. Good one!

they were from west virginia!

Hi Commie, Luvin yer Show tonight.

thanks!

Did you say fake folk?!

yes! i don't mean it in a negative way but they were the cheesy commercialized version of real folk music

i know that sounds negative but i love cheesy commercialized music haha

That's awesome!! Sorry if my comment came off as ANGRY lol, the "?!" were meant to convey "that's fuckin awesome!"

hahah ok i thought you were offended on behalf of the new christy minstrels

Naw those days are past me

It's great to hear The Fall at any time, but especially during a country & rural themed show

hahah i love their strong stance in favor of medium sized cities ONLY

HI !!!! Your show is like a vaccine to crappy music. Thanks for ---- you know.

thank you! cootie shot!

What instrument would yous choose to become magically perfect at playing? i'd choose the hammond b3 organ OR the pedal steel

The theremin, just for spooky fun. 👻

:o eggselent choice

that's a really hard question but probably drums

I'd like to request Seeds and Stems Again by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen

@Robbie - the glockenspiel never did Springsteen no disrespect. I already am near perfect on guitar and bass guitar. Thoughts?

Yknow what, i would like to explore glock-rock more

I’d like to hear Harketh He Barketh by Double Monk

2021 New Years Resolution: Plum the depths of glock-rock.

normally i'm open to playing requests but i'm still working out the logistics of it broadcasting from home

sorry! i appreciate them regardless!

No problemo. The program tonight reminds me of the wandervogel movement in a way

this song is about the uk equivalent of that! i'm going to talk about it briefly in a minute

2021: Bach o' clock? I balk. Walk & talk glock-rock... deadlock (no smock).

That's awesome!

yay transistor sister time

this part is always relaxing because if i don't get to a song this week i can always play it next week

Bar-Star ------ Uncurbed

too much swears i think. i love that song although the riff in it sounds exactly like a song by the pist

i actually do have that one on hand as you surely know, but not edited

Commemorating bars being shut down in the garden state....

ok i'll play a different bar song, i have an idea

How can one hear any swears in that song? They ain't even 'merican

they sing in english!

boo i was thinking x more fun in the new world (honest to goodness the bars weren't open this morning) but i don't have it handy

Yay Transistor Sister and the gloomy guitars of the Cure!

this was an extra one i couldn't get to in the themed part!

it's borderline, there are urban forests

been enjoying the show :-]

Excellent call T.S.!

thanks hanna! and bo!

I forgot about Sylvester.

that's sad! but how nice to forget about him and then be reminded!

Yes To The Neutron Bomb! Song that got me hooked on UL radio show.

Sylvester is new to me. Good one!

ok that i can do

christine check out "do you wanna funk" and see if you can keep from dancing

there's also a little shorty documentary about sylvester that is very good. i think it's on amazon prime?

What the Funk???

Props to you for using Cyrillic letters in your playlist. Commie Francis

My roommate has been on a big Sylvester kick lately, which is good because I hear a lot of Sylvester.
