Jason DiVirgilio 3:03:59 PM
I've been listening to "Whores" all week. Good stuff.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:04:21 PM
we love to hear it!
Teresa Peacock 3:08:54 PM
Hi Cap'n Ahab & Co.! So happy to see this album getting a little -- to my mind, well-deserved -- love! <3
Brian D 3:09:58 PM
No complaints. Epics ahead!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:10:25 PM
you started it with that mogwai request! all downhill from there
Captain Ahab (host) 3:11:08 PM
(im not complaining either, needed a breather this week)
Brian D 3:13:16 PM
Cool! That Mogwai was a treat
Jason DiVirgilio 3:15:03 PM
5/4 time signature. This is Prog Rock!
Brian D 3:16:20 PM
Yeah! Good call
Captain Ahab (host) 3:19:14 PM
one of the best concerts i ever went to was elder in this small bar in richmond in 2013 i think, no more than a 50 square feet space, was amazing
Captain Ahab (host) 3:19:36 PM
deafening
Captain Ahab (host) 3:20:24 PM
before they fully committed to the prog path haha
Teresa Peacock 3:49:47 PM
I was just thinking that Earthless would have a lot of great epically long instrumental selections! Et voilà! 💟🤟👍👏
Teresa Peacock 3:54:44 PM
And this particular Earthless track is fabulous! Also reminds me of the first Funkadelic album in feel (+ bongos).
the_dude 4:00:32 PM
Loving the show ahab! And that Elder show sounds awesome, where was it in Richmond? Debating moving there actually...
Captain Ahab (host) 4:00:52 PM
love that funkadelic album! and yes, earthless is kind of cheating hah hah
Captain Ahab (host) 4:02:05 PM
Sup the_dude! The bar was Strange Matter
Captain Ahab (host) 4:02:57 PM
which is more or less heart of downtown, it's a cool city! I lived just outside of it but went to high school in richmond
the_dude 4:05:37 PM
Ah cool! Bummer though I've heard that was awesome but closed before covid. And that sounds fun, I love Philly but I have family outside Richmond now, girlfriend is from VA, shes said Richmond has a great heavy scene
the_dude 4:06:19 PM
And all your shows this season have been great!
Captain Ahab (host) 4:07:05 PM
oh dang you're right, just read they closed in jan 2019. tragic
Captain Ahab (host) 4:08:16 PM
yeah Richmond's scene is pretty good, not sure what's there to replace strange matter but I visit richmond occasionally when going to see fam, so I try to keep an eye on the concert scene
Captain Ahab (host) 4:09:15 PM
not sure it beats Philly though
Captain Ahab (host) 4:09:42 PM
that was a treat when living in Princeton, was only a 50 minute drive
the_dude 4:12:06 PM
For sure, Philly's is pretty top notch but that's good to hear, yeah sorry to bear the bad news too.. but I think things will really explode everywhere though once things start reopening

I thought I recognized Øresund Space Collective. Thanks for airing them.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:15:53 PM

Brian D 4:19:42 PM
Jonathan Segel from Camper Van Beethoven guesting on violin very cool
Lance Gardner 4:20:11 PM

Captain Ahab (host) 4:33:55 PM

Captain Ahab (host) 4:47:47 PM
