@Jimbeaux, was that a thinly-veiled GWAR reference?

Because if it was... my faith is restored.

Silver Synthetic have a wonderful '60's sound, bloody luuv it!

Did twinkeyz open a certain pandora box ?

do you need more decor ML? i'm happy to scour the thrift stores of the NJ shore to send you some second rate 90s nyc bar vibes

little steven's bandana as a lamp covering, perhaps?

endless garlands of shells

Need photos of the FFP dive bar vibe

@jimbeaux, you have nailed my esthetic to a t

Jetty, you know my vibes. 90s East Village bar. Christmas lights, Jesus candles... Can you rent me the bass player from the Chrome Cranks, maybe?

He could just stand in the corner.

Thinking of maybe trying a Doomsday Pantry Webcam next week, but not sure I have the bandwidth for it.

On birthday's that there Keith Richards turned 77 Friday past, do ye think he knew? JK!

mike watt from minutemen b-day yesterday!

Happy belated Mike Watt. Thanks Jimbeaux.

Hi all! J Mascis' birthday was Dec. 10th too. Lots of rocker Saggitariuses/Capricorns!

Mikewattday should be a holiday.

i was in the other room when this came on and for like 3 seconds i thought it was blatz and i said outloud "is this blatz"?

Most Philly comment on the boardz ever!

hahaha wait, me?

Don't see anyone else talkin' Blatz up in here!

blatz from the bay though!

But the singer was from Philly!

I did not know!

Unless my memory is shot. Someone get Commie Francis on the horn?

my major association with blatz is that only in philly could blatz be played at a "dance music" night

Seems fair.

philly do dance different

did anyone get to look at the conjunction of saturn and jupiter tonight?

I tried, but it was all cloudy by me.

Same as that Jetty, cloudy.

:( same here. i'm just hold up my app and point it at the sky and it tells its there but no dice

have you seen the doc that came out this year about Beverly Glenn-Copeland?

Drat and double drat!

cloudy, too many damn buildings and trees. no bother,,,they'll do it again in 60 yrs.

Hi yes the singer of blatz (the dude one) is from roxborough

she was summoned!

@Jetty, no, but I am over the moon about this BG-C record. All new to me, but WOW, it's amazing!

THANK YOU COMMIE

thank you for your service, commie.

I was batsignaled

You are very welcome

If you speak of 90s punk i will come

yes Jetty, I need to see the Beverly Glenn-Copeland doc

All i know about radiac is one of the dudes was on cash cab

Commie, will you call into my show and do a 90s MRR scene report?

I can talk some mad shit on larry livermore

gotta head out and start my oil of olay regimen. night y'all!

Ciao, Jetty!

Buona notte, Jetty cara!

A propos of our most Philly conversation -- I miss how Wilbo used to pronounce Philly as "Phiwwy" by making the Ls Ws while still sort of pronouncing them as Ls... I miss Wilbo and The Clothesline

Wilbo is my life coach. Miss the guy like crazy. Hope he can make his way back to PRB someday!

I hope so too! You had some epic banter in the transition time between your shows. "Das Dominoes" for example...

Wow, I don't even remember that!

I've been buying copies of Plantasia for all my friends since they reissued it....perfect album

So back when that D&D-inspired one-hit-wonders compilation "Darkscorch" came out on Numero, you and Wilbo were talking about stuff and you asked him, "What was that board-game songs comp again?" And without missing a beat, Wilbo came up with "You mean, 'Das Damenoes'?"

@Sylvia, you are a good friend!

@Teresa, oh jeez, yes, now I remember. His wit knows no equal.

I laugh about it to this day!

Merry Christmas Enjoyed Your Show

Thanks Richard!

@DJ Mike, got any Phenomenauts in the box tonight speaking of things spacey?

Don't know them, Bo, but I can probably find more spacey sounds for the last hour!

OMG! That cannot be true, I mentioned a band that you aren't aware of?!

Darn it, I missed 🖤DAVID★BOWIE🖤?!?

Hahaha @Bo, I don't even know who Pavement are!

David Bowie is pissed Mr M!

True Story: David Bowie once winked at me.

the blue or brown eye?

Ahh, that I do not know! In my memory, it was his left eye but this was a long time ago.

each wink had a secret message depending on the eye color

Pics or it didn’t happen

Please provide all the details

haHA @Bo!

OK, next mic break.

Hey Now!

You'd bloody well know if it was te brown eye ffs!

Oh. My. Gawd. 🥸🤪😆😉

Finally...someone picked that one up!

Oh...god.

Can't believe I fell for a browneye joke.

Also can't believe I just typed that on the internet.

My work is done here.

LMFIAO!

Get your sphincters straight, gutter folk: "The fight resulted in Bowie suffering a Heterochromia, a condition which resulted in the right eye turning blue in appearance while a left one remained a darker shade of brown, apparently due to suffering “a deep corneal abrasion and paralysis of his iris sphincter muscle."

Y’all nasty

Welder's eye is how I read it in NME many years ago.

9:30pm?!? Change it to 1:30am for all future retelling of story.

♥️🌹★👨🏻‍🎤★🌹♥️

That was AWESOME. Thank you for sharing a great story!

A non- Christmas song that always feels like a Christmas song to me is Roy Orbison “Life Fades Away”!

I second that Mr M. That is such a sweet story DJ Mike.

I bet that musician told everyone about seeing DJ MikeLupica on the corner that one night!!

FYI, Joe Strummer's anniversary tomorrow!

D. Boon, too.

Shite!

damn, that's right :(

DJ MikeLupica, big THANKS for the great music and fun times! Kind regards to you! ❄️☃️❄️

Cheers Dears! Happy Holidays! 🎄☃️🎁

thx mike! night, peeps.

Thanx DJ Mike, Merry hairy kissmuch.

Night all!

Peace out, y'all. Thanks for hanging out,
