Liz🤖 here! Happy Thursday!

Happy Thursday! Coffee Cola for all

Hi Brian D 👋! I NEED coffee cola right now! I had a really hyper busy day yesterday, now today I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck

Love Mogollar! Ya today is run down, joints ache

Ughhhhhh 😞.

Time to kick back and let the music wash over us

hi lizbot 🤖/ first two had me thinking about getting turkish coffee & a hookah:)

Hi Mark! Ha, yeah, that’s about right

Could go for either or both.

Oh yesss

Weekly dose of Fripp- what the doctor ordered

Morricone track had a Muppets vibe

Yeah, I cut that off early with this Armand Frydman track, cut it at the bridge. Reason being, I made a mashup of Lark’s Tongue III and this A Frydman track this week the A Frydman track was going to come in at the bridge, but then I decided I wasn’t sure I wanted to do that!

Mix it up Liz Selector

@Brian- Yes! It’s no surprise Jim Henson pulled from Italian film composers like Piero Umliani for his muppet hit Mah Nà Mah Nà- these songs are often so silly!

Haha, thanks Brian! Maybe another week. I’ve done that before, but this one was kind of a happy accident and I liked the way it sounded, but then I felt like it was just sliiiiiiiiiiihhtly out of sync, although I played it for other members of my household and they didn’t think so... 🤔

I could hear Mah Na Mah Na often. And Adriano Castellano and Esquivel switching continents a little...

Love Esquivel!

I meant to type Adriano Celentano oops

I think...

Yeah! Actually, speaking of Celentano, I’m playing a song called La Dolce Vita, but not FROm the movie, later tonight in the show. You can guess who it’s by...

if I’m reading his bio right he’s currently at princeton for phD/ I’m asking for CE credits after this music set :)

Who? Celentano?! He’s like 82 or so

no flirent ghys / u mentioned princeton ed

Hi Lizbot. Hello everyone

Wow, im

Wow, I’m so tired and out of it today, it was pointed out to me that I listed the WRONG TIME for my show today on social media 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi Mark-Yes, Florent! Sorry, I’m tired today. Yes, he was years ago, he’s probably done now. I saw him in Princeton a long time ago

Hi Al!

Summoned by Onyeabor.

Hey jimbeaux! How are you this fine Thursday?

Glad you were summoned by Onyeabor

Superfine. And you?

ha none of us will tell the station if u just want to rest during the show & chat / we’ll keep it clean:) great sound so far

Haha, thanks Mark, but I rarely can nap. Not a napper. I’ll be on the sofa listening and chatting

I LOVE this Minnie Riperton cover of Aretha

More Mogollar for Brian

now i think i finally understand rotary connection/ i think there cream versions were played a few weeks ago

I’ve played their cover of Tale of Brave Ulysses

Minnie Riperton’s voice was so haunting and perfect👌 Shame she died so young

That Mogollar piece was killer!

Hi Stephen! Yeah, I love them!

This group was led by French actor and weirdo, Chris Chanet

Stephen, which Mogollar track, Kaleden or Iglik? The latter was the most recent of the two

✨ 🌌 ⛰ 🚀

🌃 🦅 by 🌀

🥄 🥄

🍯 🐻

Good evening all. I see the thumbnail for the Nihiloxica song and I like that big stork on the cover

Hi Rob! 👋 Yeah, good stork!

Uz Jsme Doma into Ruins makes me happy

Hi Lizbot. It should be a Marabou Stork, which is not a bird I want to meet in a dark alleyway :-)

One more Stereo Total song for the recently departed Françoise Cactus, from their final album, since I barely played anything from that one during my tribute

A dose of Sparks for the evening ✨

@Rob - Yeah, that thing looks like it could do some damage! I’m also intimidated by geese and maybe some swans, which I kinda regard as fancy geese. Both can be aggressive. Did you hear about that park ranger who died from a swan attack?!

I also never want to encounter a cassowary!

which is basically a dinosaur

I recently bought this CD! Very cool

@Bob- Hello and yes!

This song on now is by WPRB’s own Abbie from Mars! Her debut album

Hmmm now I have to look up swans aggressiveness I see them every couple weeks at the Morris Arboretum/ they share the pond w a group of mallards / they look like they wouldn’t harm a fly :)

@Mark- this park ranger years ago was out on a kayak in a lake and this swan kept attacking his kayak, knocked him out of it, and kept swarming him until he drowned! I think that was one particularly angry swan! The only bird aggression I’ve ever witnessed outside of birds of prey fighting was from geese, seagulls and roosters

Ha that’s amazing / these swans r so peaceful & the little kids all love them the mallards tho r always quarreling amongst themselves I’ll have to see the stations naturalist Krista knows about this !

I don't think I heard about that swan attack. How tragic. Mute Swans (I'm sure that's the species) are freaking lunatics at times

And cassowaries are basically old-school dinosaurs

It was a mute swan!

Yep. Dangerous Birds. (There's a band name from the 80s)

I’m glad I don’t live where cassowaries live!

Very soothing wind-down set Liz. Liking it

Or the early 2000s Philly band, Danger Bird!

Thanks, Brian D!

Roosters will attack. I kept hens for years, but no roos. Even my friend’s tiny silkie breed bantam roo that was barely larger than my hand always attacked everyone’s feet!

how about ur present birds r they gentle ? other than trying to get at ur headphones :)

Wild Turkeys will sometimes attack people in their own back yards. I'm glad I don't have a yard and don't live that close to turkeys

still would like to hear them on the show / & yes very nice show closing a great 8 hours from esoterica at noon

Thanks Lizbot...grrrrreat show :)

I’ve read there’s some nearby town in Bucks with wild roving turkeys terrorizing people!

Thanks jimbeaux!
