Chat is archived.

Arthur Blythe. Very nice

Correct

Good to have some Sunn on a cloudy, snowy day!

It is always SunnO)))y where I live.

My favorite forcast

yeeeooowww mickey!

You're welcome Jim.

Faucets dripping Mickey

I've been called worse.

This infuriated the supervisor, so he went and got Volume 14 of the Kinsley manual. He reads to him, “The Langstrom 7″ wrench can be used with the Findlay sprocket.” Just then, the little apprentice leaned over and said, “It says sprocket, not socket!”

Were those plumbers supposed to be here THIS weekend... (crickets)

You can show yourself out, Brian.

Oh I'm loving the set Mickey.

I know that, why wouldn't you

Ha! Been a great day at prb chat land as always

Imagine if we got paid for this.

Ripping Bollywwod gtr solo!

I get paid by the synapse connection

Keep it mellow & long form today if possible / the prior 3 hours were pretty raucous :)

Wouldn't work for me, the goal here is synapse disruption.

Warp yuor haed aruond taht

Again Mark, you got the wrong guy.

Haha the sprawl is a pretty great bridge between esoterica & lizbot :)

Mark i saw a Sgt in full uniform came into Eso chat at the very end and warned us No No No this is entirely too silly.

Your cocktail for tonight, folks.

Hypnotic vibe to it

Besides all the music, I read a lot. What's everybody reading?

Brother Robert - the new Robert Johnson bio by his 90-something year old step-sister.

Wow Bud, I gotta check that out. Thanks.

Haha I gotta pick up some Monty python dvds now / I’m surprised all these chats don’t get closed down for excessive silliness

i must say yow again. David Yow.

My backlog stack of reading is huge / a lot prb inspired !

'Round these parts, anyone not excessively silly gets blocked.

Fiction: I'm nearly done The True Deceiver by Tove Jansson. Non-Fiction: I'm about 1/4 into Children of Ash & Elm by Neil Price.

Anyone read / heard of liz moore: long bright river- philly author / book has Philly setting - May start tonite

I'll check it out Mark, thanks.

Still working my way through Thomas Berger's books. Usually alternate them with a music bio

Anybody else think the Lizard and Serge songs sound similar?

And my kinda silly suggestion that I can’t get away from is alice: wonderland & looking glass part inspired by deirdre sound clips / it’s the greatest children’s book for all of us of any age :)

I usually have a fiction and a non-fiction I go back and forth with. Plus comic books.

yes, David Wm Sims muscular bass is unmistakable in both

Exactly Jim.

Jim gets it!

i go between vitage library discards and contemporary stuff.been working my way thru Richard Powers after reading the Overstory...excellent.

Anybody see the Lizard? Got stories?

oh heck yeah...saw them on early tours opening for both Rollins Band and Pavement.

first time a saw them was at a ski-themed bar in Omaha. Yow climbed up into the light rig and was kicking out ceiling tiles.

Only on their recent reunion run which was maybe in 2018ish. So it hardly counts.

And my music book that i had to put to the side because so disturb is Nancy Spungen book by her mom - Jenkintown native / i might finish that one by next week

I've seen them twice in the last few years, I'd say it definitely counts.

Yow's autobio should be called "A Ski-Themed Bar in Omaha."

Forgot I played this, got psyched.

Perfect. 1989 was that show. Saw them later at a fraternal order of the slavic VFW hall

The Fucking Champs I mean, genuinely surprised even though I've got notes in front of me.

waiting for you to dance around that name during mic break

There was some moderately fancy footwork.

Also this Brian Marsella track is the shit.

This IS good. Tzadik is a great label.

Tzadik makes me proud. John Zorn should never have to worry about money. Just give it to him, let him keep cranking this stuff out for us.

I know, they should just start a subscription plan or something.

Are we still talking books? Just started the kings gunslinger series

I'm always talking books, dude. Keep it coming.

Ha well yeah it's pretty good so far and I hear the first book doesn't really do it justice so looking forward to the progression

And then graphic novels count right? Got the latest volume of East of West on deck

I've been having trouble finding good fiction lately - I'll have to make a list of some of these recs.

Absolutetly dude. East of West is great.

Ha glad you know it, not surprised though either, it's so good, the color pallette alone makes it worth reading

So satisfying to just hold

I'm behind, but as of issue 30 I love it.

Yeah what other fiction do I know bud let me check. And yeah it only keeps going

this show is cKing of Fu guUud!!

Happy to catch your show again, Mickey! I finished a Light in August recently, it was great/heartwrenching

Gotta stop w these recommendations my backlog is too High ! plus lizbot is notorious for book / movie etc references that I gotta check out each week:)

I think Chick Corea passes away? Am I late to the party with this news?

You are correct MrMalcontent

Hey Krista, great to "see" you.

Girlfriend is reading absalom, I'll have ro ask her about light in august

Colin, I am hearing it from you first. Damn.

Ahhh that's a bummer, now that you mention it I think I heard a dj mention that recently

Or I'm wrong, it happened today!

Me too / gut punch:(

came through on my work chat of all places.

No just saw the announcement/ sad :(

Wow, yeah - I'm also shocked that he was 79!

Sorry to bum out the chat,

Salright, I'd probly do it myself one way or another.

I’m definitely gonna do it ASAP

Bum us out Mal

Welp, I don’t respond to Mal. Wait.

You can call me Betty, and I'll call you Mal

Because then I will have to refer to you as MouseeMick or something annoying

I mean, you'd neither be the first or last, Mal

Oh bother

You can call me j, or you can call me jj

Don't call me, I'll call you... Mal

I'm not your mal buddy

You're not normal either

Nobody got the Serge/Cheesesteaks/Philly thing?

DJ ickey, please quit the disrespectful behavior.

I heard you say that and wanted to ask, over my head sorry, but curious!

Mal, I would cease to exist.

Good night Chick Corea. Thank you for the music

Agreed on chick !!

It was in reference to a particular series of phone conversations between Craig Ferguson and Josh Robert Thompson/Geoff Peterson.

I kinda heard u say some connect on serge & cheese steaks / you’ll tell b4 show ends ?!

See below

Okay, ICKY DJ. I wish you would.

Hmm don’t get it ? Do I have to look those up ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjfEhESvpdU

I do love serge Gainsborough former wife and his daughter :)

I'm usually the one not getting tv references cause I don't watch much. I guess I'm proud?

Haha I used to be a vidiot but got rid of my tv years ago / im probably last person on the globe w/o Netflix sub

Stay in that category Mark

Ha yeah I never would have gotten that, lol, have a steak

The bit does look pretty funny / gonna finish it later

I watch a lot of adult swim, animated stuff

I rarely like tv, some adult swim being a big exception. But back in my late night WPRB days, I'd regularly catch the beginning of Craig Ferguson. He and Geoff the robot were the only good thing on tv to me.

I can see being into Geoff the robot bits lol. But yeah I'm with youze. I do comedy mainly and x files is about as far as I go for drama series lol. I'll do movies but not as frequently. I've talked adultswim a lot with dj maxi, don't get me started!

Dude, like East of West, I'm way behind, but Squid Billies is a big favorite. And Captain Murphy Sealab.

Did someone say they were inspired to read from listening to Deirdre? That's great!

Oh hell yeah to both, I wanted to shoehorn a reference in a dif chat to squidbilies but it wouldn't have worked.. and I've seen unknown Hinson live, lot of fun - sad to see he's been removed from the show..are you up to speed on that?

No dude, hadn't heard that. Jesus.

I'm afraid to ask.

That is I / his Alice clip led me to great film version / I already was planning to read but he kinda hastened it :)

I can see deirdre inspiring reading! But.. yeah itz a shame really, he basically went on a vulgar anti-blm rant on dolly Parton, and was you know canceled, in the parlance of our times

Oh yeah love the Alice clip

It's*

Very good Mark. Deirdre is the best, if you want my 2cents.

Great show as always / perfect 3to5 bridge / yeah I know that rant ur talking about too dude

Hadn't heard that Dude. Damn.

Yes very enjoyable set today Mickey

Thx for the sprawl around the block!

Yeah sorry for the news, and its super bizarre too cause for his whole shtick to work he has to be in on the joke. Which I still think he his but also harbors some unfortunate views

Humans is complicated.

Oh quick two hours, great show thank you!

Yeah we are - and they're still gonna do the somehow too

Thanks everybody. Stayed tuned for Lizbot (as if I have to tell any of you to).

awesome show, mickey!

Thanks Esoterica!
