Ellen Fullman didn't die, did she?

Still with us as far as I can tell.

That's good to hear. I always get a sinking feeling whenever The Sprawl airs so much of one artist...

Ellen Fullman got my synapses firing nicely this am, thank you, Mickey

I asked myself at some point "Why do I only play an hour of someone when they're dead?" Also I've been bingey with my listening habits lately.

Thanks kentman!

I also missed her Princeton performance. (It's just the sort of droney concert I would have loved.) My coworker saw the event and was suitably impressed.

I knew about it, completely forgot, and then remembered when the Worried Waltzer told me how great it was the next day.

Hearing the Horse Lords live is a must for 2021

They are LOUD

with a purpose, not to be just loud, to entrance perhaps

That's the end result, but functionally their guitar tones are very clean, and in order to get that resonating just right, ya gotta crank it up

Some day maybe you could dip into Mike Watt's, Contemplating the Engine Room?

It is a thing I like. I'll note it for the pool.

Manu Dibango is dead, Dave

😭

Not many Manu Dibango tributes on 'PRB...

I heard Readie play him a couple weeks back, but I don't know if she was tributing.

enjoyed the gentle mind flensing provided by Ellen Fullman

One of my favorite album covers is Manu Dibango's "Wakafrika", where he is posing like the continent of Africa.

They show may be called The Sprawl, but I am here to Flense.

That is a a brilliant image Dave, although depending on the size, it can make Madagascar look like a turd.

the mental blubber has been cleanly separated from its lining

Rhys Chatham scoured, this week is all about flensing.

Good morning DJ Mickey and chat peeps *waves* 👋

Did I read something about flensing?

Good Morning Christine. They've finally realized this is what I do.

Good Am Christine and jimbeaux and Dave and thank you Mickey for Am delights

Pretty insightful. Also I had to look up flense to make sure I knew the definition. Your show is educational!

Hi, Kentman!

Thanks everybody. After 10 years, I am still presently surprised anyone enjoys it. It feels like I've found the fine line between community service and committing a crime.

Been quiet, tried to join Readie's chat last time, got playfully knocked down a notch,all these shows on PRB are educational

"pleasantly"

but presently works too

Good taste isn't a crime is it?

DJ Mickey, you are too modest. Your broadcasts are far from felonious! 😄

In 2020, it may be...

you're right

Oh I am definitely getting away with something here.

WPRB: "We are definitely getting away with something here."

Or, in the 2020 tradition, "We are playing only the most popular music, and everybody knows that's true."

We as listening are getting away with something

Deerhoof is the best band in the world, by the way.

Thanks everybody for the kind words. The next three weeks are all Frank Zappa.

So uh, good luck with that.

(Frank's still dead, Dave)

Looking forward to your deep dive into Zappa's archive.

Please do move along to the Clamour Club...
