Wait. It’s Wednesday again, already, arrggg ?!?

Yeah, time flies, right? I haven't even shaved since I was last here/

45s demand a webcam!!! 🧿🎶

Twin pathogens, aren't we lucky, and its not even St.Paddy's Day!

Bo, there's a vaccine for that!

Um, whiskey?

Yes, poured onto the eyeballs.

Old country cure.

Drowning in my own whiskey tears over here :))

Speaking of crazy eyes ...

Lydon? Or Tom Snyder?

Hey there's a new Sex Pistols Series by the great Danny Doyle about to begin for those interested.

Both %-)

Is it last Wed or next Wed? Or some other alternate reality Wed...

Jimbeaux, this show ends with that picture at the end of the Shining -- revealing that we've always been here and are never leaving.

Yeaux Jimbreax!

Daaaaaaannnnng.

Tom’s look says “NO” at CwazyEyezLydon

Yo Bo 💥 MrM 💥Mike💥!

LMAO Mr M. :))

Hello, DJ MikeLupica!

HeyOoo, Bo!

Welcome to you all! Remember going out on Fridays? Me neither, so hopefully this will suffice.

yeaux, jimbeaux

OK, I was not properly prepared for this preposterousness!

Which makes it ALL THE BETTER! %-))

Sing it!

Yeow! Killdozer!

Best cover band ever.

I HAD this on 12" picture disc!

Whaddya mean "had"??!

Did some record downsizing!

Aye. Been there, no judgment.

Bit late to the party, was picking up dinner & heard DJ Mike in the car.

I am staying for the Tom Snyder content, believe me.

THIS SHOW GETS YR UBER EATS DELIVERED ON TIME, YO.

"Hey, Tom Snyder" to the tune of "Hey, Bo Diddley."

Regardless of what I said about Killdozer being the best cover band ever, this Big Joanie song is probably the best cover of the last five years.

LOL Chris.

Which is funny because I don't think the Solange original is much more than five years old.

Dell?

Nope Bo.

Don't mind me, I got whiskey in my ears.

Loving what you're spinni'n B!

Thanks Zapshifter! 84 minutes still to come!

They do HUSH by deeeep puuuurple

I'm also just now remembering their EMF cover which was pretty much godhead.

DEPECHE MODE 🖤

@mrmalcontent 👍🏽

GUILTLESS PLEASURE.

People are Tom Snyder so why should it beeeee

Policy of Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder

Kraftwerk My Kraftwerk

My ring tone is Pocket Calculator, so...

That is one heck of a graphic to go with this on your Spinitron. *shudders*

Doin a TWERK for KRAFTWERK 🤎

Mahmoud Ahmed, Ere Mela!

I would do bad things for that Ethio box set.

Ethiopiques jams provide limitless joy.

@djmike Yes!

Just incredible music.

Impossible to tire of.

WKCR at Columbia U. had an excellent African music show in the early 90s. I think that's where I first heard this

dude! hadn't heard tennessee in a loooong time. Thank YOU!

Nice. PRB was fortunate to get all those Ethiopiques comps -- blew lots of minds over the years.

Esoterica, are you referencing the Arrested Development track or the Jack Blanchard/Misty Morgan song? (Both "Tennessee" related, which was totally unintentional!

AD!!

Ahh, OK -- good. That is a relief. Because if I was getting appreciative comments from people for playing Jack Blanchard and Misty Morgan, I might have to rethink my life choices.

yes!!!!

she's blonde

Every time Esoterica walks into a room, X starts playing on the jukebox.

X-cellent! :)

OMG! Happy so happy

❌❣️

What's the b-side of this?

X always makes me think of Mr. Mike Schmelzer

Jimbeaux, I think there are a few versions out there but mine's got Your Phone's Off the Hook (But You're Not)

hey how do i get my playlist to dance around and pop like that?

Chris, Mr. Mike was a total hero DJ to me. His show was where I may have first heard X!

Hi, DJ Esoterica!

I had the great pleasure of meeting Exene and John after an an all acoustic set at the sadly no more Tin Angel, unforgettable night.

hi, mr. m, bo, jimbeaux!

awesome

Hi esoterica!

Nice one, Bo!

I pictured you as more of a Mick Sludge kinda guy, DJ Mike.

We are all part Greg Savage, part Mr. Mike, part Ethan Stein.

Lol litwrally

*literally

(Adjust names for age, but the sentiment remains the same.)

Also, seriously, I love that.

Yo Eso & Chris 💥💥💥

Unrelated: isn't this the greatest farfisa sound?

In the parlance of Jimbeaux, I would do bad things for that farfisa.

It pops! Side helping of love crackles.

This fuzz guitar doesn't suck, either.

People have pronounced it as *litwrally. SRSLY

Did Ian ever find the egg he was hunting for?

Yes, it was in the ceiling.

A bit smelly by the time he got to it.

Where is Chris Knox from Mike, Aussie or Kiwi or neither?

Kiwi fo sho'!

Ah, thank you!

If you dug that, the entirety of his "Seizure" LP will serve you well for years to come!

Good to know, thanks for the tip!

great!

SOOO this is who made this record!

Nothing like acknowledging that I'm playing too much old music and swearing that I'm going to go modern, and then playing... Dwight Twilley. #forthekids

I was that kid :)

FACT: If you walk up to any cluster of 19-21 year olds on the street and ask them what they're talking about, the answer will almost always be "Dwight Twilley"

#UsKidsLikeItToo #I’m12orSomeChitSuchAs

LOL!!! :))

The 'Mats could've written a song about Tom Snyder but no...

I chortled out loud @ChrisMohr

"Alcoholic night owls by the millions wait for Tom Snyder...

and @AllMikeLupicaJokes

well the funny ones anyway

🔥🔥🔥D A M 🔥🔥🔥

MrM, I have the comedic timing of a garbage truck, so I applaud your discriminating taste.

Jimbeaux, truth.

What's this Chic's name?

Niagra.

Isn't she a low brow artist too?

Pretty accomplished, from what I understand.

Super!

1990 record, finally, something for the youngsters.

OMG THIS BAND NAME RN AND AF

This is abrasive shit man!

Youngsters, but... Sandy Duncan?!? Wow, memories of cracker commercials in the 70s

I bet they should get the live on air flip of the night

darn it

@Mike, got any Bloody Hollys?

No, but great name!

Oh this tho yo ! And Spin! And Spin! And Twirl! And Twirl!

Live version effin' kills it.

WwwHUTT?!

what?

watt?

Mike Watt?

I mean to say ...

Watt Mike?

Good 'un, Mr. Mal!

Mr M. You too funny! :))

ChrisMohr, my friends call me MrMalcontent or MrM. Are we enemies already?!?

love this cover

@Mike, make that The Bloody Hollies, they formed in Buffalo in 2000.

Mr Malcontent I was being lazy with my typing, I shall be more effortful in future.

I once knocked over an enormous display of magic markers in an NYC office supply store while rushing over to tell my girlfriend that Bob Mould was perusing glue sticks and paper cutters three aisles over.

I AM ALL CLASS.

WPRB had a very Minnesotan station ID from the Husker when this was new. It ruled.

I think it was Grant, not Bob though?

Did DJ MikeLupica answer DJ Esoterica’s question about the jazzy playlist pics and gifs?? I want to know the answer too!

giphy.com

Is there a way to refresh the Playlist without having to log in to chat again?

Cheers to you, ChrisMohr! I get much lazy half way through typing and just for the delete. So, good on ya!

thanks for that info!

Chris, alas, no.

Their version of 8 miles high just wrecks me.

That magic marker/Bob Mould story WINS

Ok, got it. Felt a bit like "Long-time listener, first time chat-ter".

I should take back what I said. Captain Ahab would probably be really insulted by my associating her (godlike) show with Metallica. (Even old Metallica.)

But there is some reasonable swagger (I hope) associated with playing old Metallica from a vinyl 45.

MrMalcontent APPROVES

+1 DJ Mike

cheers, everyone! thx, dj mike for awesome tunes!

i must be cruising along.

Cheers to you, DJ Esoterica!!

See ya, Esoterica!

Thanks for sharing, DJ Mike!

I thought we had another hour! Oops

Cheers Dears!

Good fun...thanks!

See y'all on Wednesday!

DJ MikeLupica, many thanks for another great show! Kind regards!
