Chat is archived.

it's the chat! hello!

wow i am DISTRACTED!

Hello!

i love this song!

This song sounded familiar, and then I realized, oh yeah, it's Kurt!

hi isa, hi liz! loved your playlist, i gotta start working on my show earlier so i can actually listen to your show!

Love this song- AND that was ANOTHER show I missed due to covid! I had just gotten tickets to a Lilys reunion show last winter!

i added so many songs from Liz's playlist today, it was great!

Hi Dana! Thanks! I went a little nuts with GAOB/ Delta 5 7"s, but I hadn't indulged in a buncha those in a while!

Thanks, Isa! And it's nice to meet you!

@Dana- Yeah, I was too distracted prepping for my remote live broadcast to catch Mickey's show this week :(. When I prerecorded, I could always catch the show before me, BUT I get to hear Don't But the Front no matter what!

CONGRATULATIONS, Dana K! 💉

Yay vaccination!

congrats !

Congrats! I keep telling my brother to get the shot in Jersey so he can SAFELY visit us!

Very happy for you! Feels so good to get shot #1 over with

for various reasons i thought i was going to have to wait until may or later to get vaccinated, but NJ pulled through for me!

Glad JS knew that dude at CVS and convinced him to inoculate all the DJs

DJs are essential workers (sorry, no offense to actual essential workers)

I mean, it's right there in the name: DJ Essential Worker.

Yeah, I booked an appt at a pharmacy after feeling kinda abandoned by my healthcare provider, and right after I snagged a pharmacy appt, Penn contacted me with one of their individual links to their TLA Clinic

Jon sent me a lotta useful vax updates early on when I was trying to find shots for my parents! He's on top of this!

we appreciate a vaccine nerd!

Yoooo this is great

I'm a convert

i told you!

"parquet courts is for dads" - yoni, 2016

Oops

I am lovin' the animal crossing backing track LOL

I once got hurt at a Melt Banana show at Johnny Brenda's cause people were moshing. I was very confused. And in pain.

also, I'm ashamed to admit that I'm the guy in his 20s moshing at Parquet Courts

haha! no shade, i was just a bit surprised!

oh i'm so glad to hear it! it's definitely near the top of my 2021 favorites so far.

(periscope kids). for a while, Depending was my one

the one before this on the album, the heart of human trafficking, is wild! this one playing now is special

I'm loving this track too.

I loved that Helium song

the heart of human trafficking is insane, that was the first thing i heard off the album

I'm also really digging this tune - I'm sooo about that droning guitar feedback

Brokaw makes me think a bit of Lee Ronaldo and that track Hits of Sunshine for Allen Ginsberg on A Thousand Leaves

:) yay the enthusiasm here hehe

I'd be moshing to this one 4 sure 8)

omg. this month I've gone back to my polvo records for the first time this year. ty

this album is like a structurally unsound building in a dream

i haven't revisited them in a while, it feels like it's time

City Spirit and Virtual Cold on Celebrate the New Dark Age are favorites

churny!

this is cool

definitely the noisiest thing this band did!

is this version hard to find?

it has this amazing texture that I don't feel quite as much on a youtube version

i grabbed it off of soulseek, took a bit of searching (wish i had the record itself, alas)

ty for soulseek 😆

I love that it still exists. I had to invert the colors to use it bc it looks so deprecated on my computer lol

i've been using it since 2004 or so and it basically hasn't changed

in the age of spotify, there's something very dreamy about shared folders

oh 100% agreed

ah ok I just remembered who henry's dress was making me think of. that band stove. but the other way around, historically, I guess!

similar globular thrash accumulations

i've never heard stove! that's an intriguing description!

try the album "is stupider" and then the one w the toad in the oil spill on the album cover

whoa this band is such a mystery to me (thinking fellers)

oh. they're so good. practically perfect.

is this the album to start w?

thank you for the world of pooh track :) i saw them open for rollins band a few days before they broke up

and it took me years to find land of thirst

world of pooh *might* be my favorite barbara manning related project, though it's very hard to say!

i have not listened to WPRB for THREE DAYS and it's good to be back!

Dana k I just heard everything I missed!! Your taste is awesome helium and polvo in the same set... Did u see Mary timony show in dc last week?

no i totally missed it! i LOVE her!

She did mountains songs for the reissue of the vinyl

welcome back, jimbrewe! we missed you!

yes, i considered playing a song off of that for tonight's show (along with three or four other things that involved mary timony)

nice to take a break from news, e-mail, etc. Only used the internetty for weather and scrabble challenges!

Someone with the handle ash bowie was in the chat but alas and alack was not him

an internet break seems so, so nice

i feel the same way, though the sf seals are a very close second

heck yeh scrmng fmls!

i think we're due for a new quadruple album

listening to them is just making me miss live music in philly so much :(

they must have been last live band I saw

as a fellow short person watching marissa paternoster shred is always very life-affirming

i'm the boss!! can't stop me from playing two unrest songs back to back!

We were vibing out on that first Unrest song

it's an unrest-a-thon! I approve.

Am I hearing the word pheromones in this Another New Thing song?

yes, rob!

luv luv dustdevils!

Last night (Mike Lupica's show) it was "incest" on Flaming Fire's "Lemon Isis", tonight it's "pheromones" on Another New Thing's "A Message". Love it!

Hell yeah

Versus!

Versus RULES

yes!

haha i'm glad you're all so pumped on this

they don't have a lot of fist-banging tunes besides this one

Another god damn classic

Hello all. I am late to show today. It looks like I missed some good stuff earlier.

hi jason, thanks for tuning in anyway!

thanks everyone for listening tonight, always a treat!
