whoa - jam!

Hell yeah. Got a lot of 'em lined up tonight.

sweet

jesus they are bringing it

I just got turned on to these guys by an old radio pal from another station. Early indications suggest serious badassery!

Hey DJ Mike *waves* Great opener tonight.

Hi, Space Cowboy 👋

Hey Christine! Welcome back!

hey

Before anyone asks, yes, we will be acknowledging the 40th anniversary of John Lennon's murder. I have a story about a weird, personal connection to that night/event. Probably sometime in hour two. (Suspense...)

is this song a little grim or is it me....

aha a story good..

Nope, it's definitely not you.

Granted, it harkens back to the good old days of all the songs on the radio being about... getting piss drunk and exhuming the corpse of your dead lover.

Theme show? Code Blue by TSOL fits right in.

...and the Necros.

ugh dont get me started thats like being in the middle of the black plague and saying knaa uhhh

how did a virus get political- nuts

ok, save that theme for laaaaattterrrr :)

Hi. Listening with one eye, while working on some other crap. Will chime in when able to.

Welcome Charlie! I hope you're using your bad eye to listen.

using the one with the patch

Team #amblyopia

hyuk

go team!

I often wear an eyepatch...to protect the good one. I wanna be able to see a real nice painting when I'm 80 with the best eye possible.

You're ahead of the fashion curve for the next global plague!

I remember seeing a live performance of this song, but not by this band;)

@Charlie, you're playing a dangerous game. Let's just say that any karaoke videos of me that may or may not exist on the internet will surely keep me out of any kind of elected office I might one day care to run for.

I share your pain.

Greetings and Salutations!

Hey MrM!

Niagara<3

Yes!

ohh this is my fave punkish song

so good

More Punkish Rock coming up later!

so well written, simple and sooo true

I love her broad midwest accent, like the "a" in afternoon

hey, kids

Hi DJ Mike and all TFP fans.

Howdy Bo! Welcome back!

Moving a bit slow tonight Mike but I'm here.

Yo, Bo

Hi Charlie.

Same here in the Doomsday Pantry, Bo.

First time catching your show. Really love what lm hearing

Welcome Twofive, and thanks!

@charlie - love 💕 the midwest accent too :)

got a friend w that Chicago accent, so great

Thanks for the Primitives track which I don't recall ever hearing, I remember buying 'Crash' in '86 and playin' it to death.

Same here, Bo. That record is criminally forgotten.

Right?!

This one a blast from the past !

@ Mark, Wreckless Eric is one hilarious chap!

Haha yes haven’t heard that in forever :)

Happy Birthday Tom Waits or did I dream that?

Yes, 71 today.

Right on Charlie!

Lennon death was announced by Howard Cosell on MNF - do u recall about time u saw sirens

80, Mike.

James Cordon Mike

Yes b 1940 - more base 10 anniversary

Helluva story Mike.

yeah, good one!

Where would I be without all of you?!?!

@Mark, it was late. It had literally happened just moments before we walked around the corner, so probably around 11 PM?

I hadn't thought until just now that Lennon's been dead the same number of years he was alive.

I know, crazy - right?

There’s some good you tubes of the events that lead to cosell announcing it / ur coming out of tavern on green aligns with where happened / tragic story:(

And time of shooting listed as 10:50

Scrolling back through comments, is it really Tom Waits' birthday? Shit, I have to run inside to grab a record...

@Mike, so I am told.

Das Internet confirms!

Tom Waits LP retrieved from deep storage. Will be played before I clear outta here at 11.

luv this prunes song

after your Joe Frank air on T-Day, another Joe bit ran last week at 6am. I approached the day differently after that.

tom waits for no one

only kathleen brennan

RENFIELD! 🧛🏻‍♂️

somethin real special about a less-schticky Tom. love this album.

I fought Tom Waits appreciation for decades -- would always hear great songs In Other People's Cars, but would then buy a bad record and feel like a chump. Finally figured out I should just go back to the original texts.

I agree and concur. Why’d he make a bad record?! He’s the chump! Happy Birthday! 🥸

gosh Beverly Glenn-Copeland is so incredible. Great story. you're just getting me right in the guts at the end of the show

Shit, I'm getting myself in the gut, too.

Lots of lovely music tonite

Next week, pics and gifs for every track, again?!? Huh!?! Yeah?!?

Yeah, thanks for this show! Great stuff.

there was also some electric prunes banter in the chat on Tim's show

Yes lots of aphrodities in last 5 hours :)

Cheers Dears! Even those with Big Ears! 🖤💀

Class Show Mike, I bid you all a good night.

DJ MikeLupica, many thanks for the GREAT show! Kind regards to you, Sir!!

thx mike & the pathogenic krewe

Peace out, y'all!
