Chat is archived.

The show is LIVE. The chat is LIVE.

Yeah!

Ha ya gotta keep up the momentum/ such a great PRB day & week so far :)

Oh, that's not putting any pressure on me or anything!

Mi piace questa canzione ;-)

*canzone. So much for my Italian

I have total faith in DBTF / as do all other listeners!

Hey DJ Dana! LOL I love tonight's theme. I think I better go back and watch Threshhold again.

I quest for calzone

Hello everyone!

There's only one de-evolution band...! 💗

Haha dave the obscure played a parody version :)

I was originally going to play one of the Hardcore or Ultracore versions of this song but I realized it's been a long time since I've just played something off of the album

I did see the devo 1.0 version / they were fantastic :)

This is great, bar set!

nice set!! hi, Dana K!!

Hey Esoterica! thanks for listening tonight!

absolutely!:)

now i am inspired to watch threshold!

it's an experience!

did you see this syfy article? it's funny. https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/wtf-moments-the-craziest-thing-star-trek-voyager-ever-did-involved-lizard-sex

that's a good primer!

awesome...

I like to think the babies grew up into sentient, bipedal people and forever they are like "wow, our parents are fucked up for leaving us"

i think they should bring them back as characters in discovery.

Hello everyone. We have a lot to talk about.

That would be amazing. They have like an INTENSE and justified grudge against the federation

I agree, Justice for Tuvix

Justice for Tuvix.

Why couldn't they have kept Tuvix and Tuvoc and killed off Neelix? That's my proposed solution

Of course The Residents need to make an appearance to encompass the weirdness

The small part of him that is charming is retained, the rest discarded.

Sang along to He’s a Reptile here.

I have to say, the episode would have been better with a Residents soundtrack

My bird just hid in in my shirt. This is too intense for him. 🦎

Neelix is okay. He means well and he makes a mean gagh.

Ha, I’d watch with a Residents soundtrack!

Baby alert

Alert: Baby

I'm upset that now I'm imagining lizards doing it to this song

Krista, 😂

My work here is done

Slow dancing in Denver.

Better that than "People Are Still Having Sex"

What a group of bad a** PRB dj’s/ we’re all gonna eavesdrop on ur conversation:)

All night long.... this guy just raised the bar.

Godley and Creme...two former members of 10cc

The Babies song it is over

We all know 10 Cc.

I love Godley & Creme’s “Golden Boyf”

"It was a cool black night

a clear white moon

listen, if the song Babies made you uncomfortable, try watching Star Trek: Voyager Season 2 Episode 15 "Threshold"

George, no!

It was a cool black night / a clear white moon / lizards were in the street / trying to conceive

Alien Sex Fiend, but of course.

I thought godley & creme was lizbot intellectual property?:)

@Mark- Ha! I release “Babies” for public consumption

thank you George

I abandon G&C’s “Babies” like so many unwanted lizard children

"you're welcome" -- Warren George

Haha I gave jetty a hard time for playing commie’s ip today - chumbawumba

Mark- Chumba throwdown on the rocks

Not the worst ever

Uh original star trek has so much crap

Haha jetty response was commie would kick her but earlier today / a discussion ensued of who would win dj battle royale - Jon Solomon even weighed in

Wow, spoilers!

Tell us about the birth of the babies

Are they eggs? Goo?

There*

Alert: babies

@Dana- Godley & Creme want you to know that “if you want to dance all night, if you play your cards right, you could be the girl on the arms of the golden boyf”

Live birth amphibians are terrible

Esoterica u still here / Jon suggested u might win :)

There are frogs that birth them through their skin, if vague facebook pics are to be believed

Where do babies come from?

The Babies song, it was new to me. And not bad. I do still remember hearing Godley & Creme's "Riding on Joey's Camel" and "Snack Attack" though I last heard them in the early 80s. And I know nothing about Star Trek.

No not the threshold beasts, amphibians who give live birth in general

Krista, have you seen the peppermint shrimp birthing method? Only look it up if you want to be sick

oh. i was not following the chat. i thought maybe there were behind the scenes photos of the birth of janeway's babies.

@Rob- I will have to amend that. G&C coming up on a future ++good

Ha the "Who would kick azz DJ" chat was great today.

https://www.wired.com/2013/12/absurd-creature-of-the-week-the-toad-whose-young-erupt-from-her-skin/

Obviously even the URL is body horror so I apologise

@liz, I'm about to type it in

this music just keeps getting better, and by osmosis i am letting the janeway comments sink into my muddled brain bc sure AF this girl I sgoing to start watching!!!

@Lizbot, cool. It has been so long since I heard those any G & C. I really only know the two songs I mentioned, and now Babies. Bring it on (and fwiw I normally can't listen to your show until some time after 6)!

I think next year WPRB should devote our entire programming day to Threshold

I know Lupica, as a Voyager fan, would be down.

sounds like a great plan

@Krista- I apologize in advance 🦐

@brian looks like The dj’s here missed the jetty chat tho most were mentioned as who would kick a**

Great ID there

Their larva are so weird @lizbot

Justice for Basczax

Stopppp

Krista, I watched a nature show about them a dozen years ago and still haven’t gotten over it. AND now I pass that’s legacy on to you

I'm so glad human s

Don't lay eggs

...i just walked into weirdness with this show/chat...

hahaha

i take absolutely no responsibility for any of this

i'm just the DJ

@jimbeaux, you don't know...

I expect high weirdness.

But i am now wiki'ing Voyager episodes

unfortunately the threshold set has concluded, but i encourage all of you to watch the episode tomorrow, on Threshold Day

Haha shazam had the same problem w them

Ridgeway nice

Add that to the rewatch pile: Buñuel’s Exterminating Angel

aaaa this is so cool

this is so hard

The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie. And The Milky Way too. love those

Buñuel films

been wanting to see discreet charm!

@Brian D- Discreet Charm & Exterminating Angel I always lump together as companion pieces. Both dinner parties from hell

Hey Esoterica! Def watch it as a double-feature with The Exterminating Angel!

The one Buñuel film I can’t make it through is a short- Un Chien Andalou. He made it with Dalí and it was before animal cruelty laws for films, and I’ll just leave it at that.

eyeball slicin' (human)

hi liz! i will do both! and yes, i remember the sliced eye, right? ew

yes, jimbeaux!! so dada

excuse while i statik dance for a moment

good show g'night all

@Esoterica- Yes! 😬

‘Night, Brian!

night, Brian! thanks for listening!

i'm enjoying this turn

The opening eyeball scene is squirm inducing

@jimbeaux- I think it was a cow if memory serves- made to look like it was a human. But yeah, nope!

It was a cows that was used ?!

good night, all! I need to turn in, too.

@liz I recall from film class cuts that made it look like human

Man, Threshold kicked off such a body horror theme in tonight’s chat! Sweet dreams!!

thanks, dana!! you are great!

yes, i want everyone to have nice dreams!

Or night terrors :(

goodnight erica! thanks for stopping by

DJ Night Terrors 😱😱😱

sure thing! no night terrors or sleep paralysis!

cheers to evryone:)

Great live show Today cheers

@Christine- Good name!: DJ Night Terror

Awesome tunes! - since I arrived in time for The Human League 💟

thanks! i am getting sleepy so i think it's time for a cup of tea.

Greetings, MrM 💀

All the thanks goes to you, DJ DanaK! Cheers!

Greetings and Salutations, Christine Duffy!

🖖

Wall of Voodoo. Love that tune.

Dark Continent. Very good.

this vibe rn af

RIGHT

i have zoned out completely

That revving up horn!

It’s Jetty’s theme!

Fitting, since I think there was a whole discussion during Jetty on the Rocks today about cognitive dissonance when hearing one DJ’s theme or the bed music they always use on another’s show

i seem to do that and never realize it.

i played jon solomon's intro background music once - pell mell - and it freaked me out because i couldn't place where i had heard it before

Yeah, I’ve done that before. In addition to Go Bang, Jetty plays a lot of Dinosaur L / Arthur Russell in general

luckily, my theme is rather easy to recognize.

Maximum Joy + Dinosaur L have invigorated me!

I will play other Desperate Bicycles tracks, but seems wrong to play Don’t Back the Front! Hattie knows it by heart- It’s always on as she does homework next to me

These bouncy synths are like brain candy. Love 'em!

I am so inexplicably tired I need these synths to keep me up!

Dana, you have really outdone yourself with tonight's show. Take the rest of the week off! 🎖

haha, thank you!

@Christine- Agreed! Great show tonight, Dana!

I agree and concur!

thank you, thank you!

💜KLF

LOVED it. Thanks for the Clio! And the KLF (half)

Clio would pair well with Swing Out Sister’s Break Out! I love that song but play sparingly cuz it often doesn’t fit into my playlists!

You’re welcome! And the video makes me so happy

It’s 11 pm. We’re on the Threshold of Threshold Day

Everyone please drive safely on Threshold Day

No going to Warp 10

Thank you for listening, Ian!

8pm! Time for Big Salad! 🥗💚 WestSiiidddeee!!

Cheers Dears and especially those with Big Ears! 🖤💀

Big CHEERS to DJ Dana K!! Many thanks and kind regards!
