Beans and Disease everybody.

please tell me it's not monday morning?

Howdy mickey, welcome to Thursday s! Big fan of your show

I assure you it is not Monday.

phew...thanks!

Thanks. Thursday has been my most often home over the years. Good to be back.

Welcome back to Thurs

Yeah I used to listen a lot then, haven't been able to catch Mondays much, though I did catch khanate the other week and that was awesome

Ha I hope everyone had as much fun in the last half hour as I did / tho I could just imagine poor esoterica excitement level

Thanks for digging Khanate at 8am, dude.

Keep it mellow mickey to soothe everyone’s jangled nerves

You've got the wrong man, Mark

Haha I’ve already forgotten the monday morning crazy vibe / u do u :) lovein the playlist so far

Of course, thanks for the tunes. Signing off chat but listening, until next time y'all!

Thanks dude.

15 minutes in, and I'm remembering how much better this is AFTER work.

This is sounding good, I'm sad I missed the axelrod!

Beautiful guitar piece. Love the warped bed behind you

It makes the mumbling bearable.

I’m glad to have you back on in this timeframe, Mickey. I would often forget on an early Monday morn that you were on.

Thanks Shane, I was never quite sure I was there myself.

I wasn't usually able to listen much on Monday mornings, so this slot is working much better for me, too!

I had fun, but I agree Bud.

You are welcome, Mickey. And thank you, again for all the great stuff you spin.

Thanks for enjoying me amusing myself in the guise of community service.

hi, mickey! thanks god it's you in the hot seat!

i had a little issue last half hour but I am recovering. peter crisis is helping haha

If it ain't hot, what's the point?

haha did i write crisis? tha's my mindset

Thanks for "Tangerine," amongst other things.

awwww, you're wlecome

So, starting next week, this show will be renamed "The Hot Seat with Peter Crisis."

great to have you on thursday! (again)

omg THAT

Great to be back. Bummer I can't hang with you and Liz in person, but I'll take this for now.

you and me both:). wow, who knew that new york congressman plays some mean tunes (haha peter king)

Shout out to Mike Lupica, by the way. I had to get him on the horn at 7am last week because of a glitch. We all gotta get him a case of whatever he wants.

absolutely! man, thank goodness he was on speed dial

Peter Crisis (The Crisis Cat) was born Peter Criscoularisis

He was later replaced by Eric Carrisis (RIP). And Eric Singerisis

I mean, I laughed

My first concert: Kiss @ the Spectrum, December 1985

haha, brian

nice first concert

Eric Carrisis on drums

Ahhh pancake not paint years. Hair metal competition did funny things to KISS then. Was that Heaven's on Fire era maybe?

Tears Are Falling era. I was 5. I did not care.

Yes!

Here's your heavy trivia for this week: The opening band was Black 'N Blue (so they're technically the first band I ever saw live). Anyhow, their lead guitar player was Tommy Thayer, who is now in Kiss.

Hair was mighty that night. I remember seeing the Black n Blue lp cover then. They had IMAGE

I remember nothing about them other than the immediate realization that I was not prepared for how loud it was. Got over it quick though.

Saw KI⚡⚡ when they went back into makeup around 1990. Free tix from the record store, couldn't pass it up. 🤘

I do remember Paul Stanley rapping about a female airport security agent making him take out his Love Gun though. So there's that.

My younger brother was way into them by the time they re-makeupped with Ace and Peter, so I saw that too, circa 1996 or 7. That was real good.

Hey Kiss and Aaron Copland, amirite?

Well it's not often that you hear Peter Criss and Aaron Copland in the same show, so kudos for that.

Ha, apparently we were typing that at the same time...

Like I just said, you are listening to The Sprawl.

And this was the second time this week I've heard a track from Slint's Tweez record. I've barely listened to that one even though I've listened to Spiderland 1000 times. Guess I need to rectify that.

That Shango lp is great

Glad everybody is digging it.

i played nazz last week!

Did Todd Rundgren write a handful of masterpieces when he was 19, or what?

I should mark this as local...

agreed

got to get outside before it gets dark, walk the dog! cheers, super dj mickey:)

This is great

Not many songs make me stop what I am doing.

Great to see you Erica

It is stunning, yes.

Mickey aren’t u forgetting ur actual 1st concert u mentioned a few months ago : Yes at the Spectrum:)

Without making this too political, I definitely count Kiss '85 as the first :)

You beat me to it mark! Was just gonna ask too

Besides, there were others in gestation. The Who I think? Maybe Genesis

I have a similar experience Mickey, my mom saw the stones at the vet before I was born

Haha dude / Hope Mickey watches the you tube of yes at spectrum in 79 / wow how did mom not go into labor at those shows ?’!

You two have THE coolest moms ever !!

To be fair here, my dad was the instigator 100%

Haha/ very nice show Today - love ur sched placement between esoterica & lizbot 🤖:)

Ha! Thanks, I'll share that with her, she'd get a kick out of it. Fist actual concert was bruce Springsteen at Vet, dad won't the tickets on the radio

Thanks. I used to hang out here between Will Constantine and Liz. Good to be back.

Whooaaa krallice had a new album?!?

Hell yeah they did.

That's a band I still gotta see. I love all of their records.

Little bit of every sound / this is my new lullaby music that flex plays :)

I am lucky enough to say that I have, kung fu neck tie im pretty sure

That'd be a good place to see them too, congrats.

I mean I saw a bunch of great fiddle and banjo fest concerts at a young age. And James Taylor at the Mann Music Ctr 1981 when I was 12. But the first real concert I count is June 1982 The JFK Jam. Kinks, Foreigner, Loverboy, Joan Jett (local tag) and Huey Lewis and the News. That one was the real deal. James is great but ... so I see what you mean Mickey

Great show Mickey!

PHENOMENAL SHOW today. Every song was unique. Thank you!!

It's been a pleasure to hang with y'all this afternoon. Great to be back on Thursday afternoons. Please stay tuned for my friend Lizbot. 'Sup Liz?

Thanks Twofive Assity, who just squeeked in here to win best name of the week.

:-P
