awesome first track!

Octopus chat is open.

I was inspired by your opening/closing!

hell yeah!!

Live radio!

oh ya baby

Wow this translates so well to steel

I know, right??

Brian D, I thought you were singing pain killer when making that shinner priest joke btw lol, but sinner works for it too.. but fun show here too but I must be off for now. Cheers all!

I've been reading/listening to the amazing blog, The Heat Warps, which is going through literally every live recording from Miles Davis's groups between 1969 and 1975. It's an astonishing musical moment: https://theheatwarps.com/

I suppose if there was any group I would absolutely become a tape trader for, it would be this. Thankfully, all the recordings that haven't been officially released are available here.

I was planning to go out half an hour ago and chip away at some of the ice and I'm still planted in my chair listening to the radio damn you

The power of Chick Corea compels you

Heat Warps is a good blog

Had not visited in a while

The project they're doing now of Miles tapes is incredible. I stayed up waaaay too late the other night listening to one of the sets of the Miles band opening for the Grateful Dead in March 1970, and it was appropriately mind blowing

Milford Graves in 2019, one of his last (?) performances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rsrY38ivr0

DJ DanRuccia, many thanks for another excellent show! Kind regards!

Thanks, Mr. M!

Yo, Octo-Overlord!

I completely lost track of how many things I have not gotten done because I can’t get away from the stuff you all play on this station. Not just today, but all the days. Many thanks, Dan! Need to pull the plug now. Oh, Happy Valentine’s Day, MrM.

Howdy, Jimbeauxtron!

Thanks for tuning in, Larry!

Happy ValentiMes Day, LarryFizz!

this is pretty 👻 🎸
