Lizbot here! 2nd Live Remote Broadcast! I hope it's sounding okay!

anyone out there?

hello!

I LIVED WITH THIS LP FOR WEEKS THANK YOU LIZBOT

Hi Isa!

Great to hear that, Kentman! Hello!

kate bush is the best!! starting off great

your sound is a little low

good to know

@kentman- trying to fix now...not sure what's going on with it yet

Heeeeey Lizbot!!!! Sound ok here on my laptop

this is coming in clearer now

the sound is fine on my end

fine on over the air transmission

Cyndi is yet another reason that I take real good care of my vinyl

lizbot i have an old RadioShack portable, sometimes the signal gets buffed about

@Alan- She was / is my hero. This came out when I was an impressionable elementary school kid. I dressed up like her because of this album,

@kentman - Ahhh, okay that might be it

good to know, isa. Thanks!

Hi Mark! Thanks!

@ Liz..Would have loved to see that Liz, great to see others just doin' their thing

lizbot is kicking it today

@Alan- Yeah, she was one of the first contemporary 80s pop singers I was keenly aware of that wasn't an artist or band my parents played!

@Kentman- Thanks! Still getting used to the transitions on this new set-up. Gotta tweak a few things!

a lot of music from 80's need remastering like what they did with Pylon's latest box set

hmm we’ve heard this music before / think i know what happened

hello the bot funk has taken over

hey guys! my laptop just froze!!!

yes we all know the perils of the live broadcast/ stay cool lizbot we’re all patient listener:) !

ARGH!!!

we're all human right, sht happens

restarting laptop. had to force-quit!

used to be records would skip until the dj usually alone in the studio came back from a piss

bare with me.......dammmit!

okay, did the song change to a dripping sound?

just jammin to this track

deep breaths / honestly relax we know it’ll be back up :)

drip here

Reborn

Yes we b good !

Music! Brave Lizbot!

Silent

dripping has ceased

sound now

like experimental radio think of Meatball Fulton. do a voice over

Drip

drip❤️

okay, r you hearing dorisdaytheearthstoodstill??

Real good sound on laptop now!

Yes doris day the earth stood still!

doris Day on the airwaves

Yes on the doris

okay, this is very very weird. what I'm hearing on the stream and what I'm hearing from my laptop are out of sync by over a minute, but okay! hoping for the best!

I'm gonna check out the FM sigs

That can happen i would think

both over the air & stream r at their normal couple second out of synch

who'd thought you'd bring such drama to today's show. great late afternoon soundtrack

FM signal ok here in Philly on portable radio

@mark- I'm used to the few second delay - that was in the studio too between the studio speakers and the stream. This was something else entirely! Mixxx was just completely freezing

@kentman- haha! I try!

@Alan- Good to know! Thanks!

that's why we love ya

Definite congrats on getting thru the problem

Thanks, Kentman! Thanks, Alan!

Kate Bush will soothe me!

like that transition from the Andes to Kate Bush,

haha maybe u could change ur tech difficulty music to just play kate bush :)

the brits should make Kate an honorary knight

@kentman- YES!

@Mark - I think the gods would approve

or allow her to take Meghan place !

@Mark- Allow her to start her own queendom!

ii'd gladly serve in that kingdom

uk republic of kate/ or maybe when scottland exits like they’ve threatened she joins their new monarchy

I will gladly proffer my services to Kate as her Lady In Waiting

Scots don't want a monarchy any more than the Irish, but let it be a monarchy of musical ideas, so much great music from Scotland and Ireland these days, to humble poor england

Sounds good to me! Referendums for ALL!

Kate's mom was from Ireland

And she uses a few musicians from Planxty on The Jig of Life

Wow! Love This Twice

Well, at least that segue from Lilac Wine into You Only Live Twice went as planned!

ha john barry & nancy: what a combo!

@Alan- Yeah, this is by far my favorite Nancy Sinatra song. not Boots, even though that song is fun!

@Mark- Yes! AND one of my favorite lyricists wrote the lyrics, Leslie Bricusse!

I have a vinyl of all the James Bond themes classic classy stuff

her boots were made for walking over me, but Nina, i saw her live and what she could do to a piano,, pounding, standing up, conjuring

@kentman- wow! I'd love to have seen Nina Simone live!

what a catalog he has / 90 years young:)

got my covid shot, mark cause i'm an old fart

@mark & kentman - haha! Vaccine shots, Knighthood/fiefdoms and referendums for all!

Love Jill Scott ♥️

Hey Krista!

Jiving to ya groves Bot

@Krista- This song takes me back to a time in the early 2000s when I was living with a group of friends and this song was on the communal computer so it got played a lot

Hi Buck!

Settle in for a Catherine Ribeiro 11-minute EPIC...while I pee and attempt to find dinner items!

Hello, Yr Royale Botness! This track is INSPIRED.

Hi Jimbeaux/O3.O!! yeah, I looooove Catherine Ribeiro! She is criminally under known

a first listen for me

@kentman - her bands were Paix, Alpes and 2Bis

that voice is leaving band behind

Ribeiro is from Portugal but always based in France and she's relatively known there, but so little so here, that for a long time she didn't have an English language wiki page or website. Now she does

Here's a voice for you: Lene Lovich! I wish I could do bird calls like that. I also wish I saw her perform at Plastic Fantastic in Ardmore, my fav local record store when I lived near there in the late 90s... Alas, she performed there when was a toddler!

was that a record store?

Good evening all. It's nice to hear Ms Lovich

i remember buying a Pharoah Sanders record there.

Siouxie Sioux has that great hair style too !

Hi Rob! Howya doing?

@kentman - Yes. Plastic Fantastic was a record store on Lancaster Ave in Ardmore. It went outta business for a while in the 2010s and then reopened. DOn't know how it's doing these days. I'm rarely in that area anymore. In the late 90s, they had a goofy standard poodle that used to follow me around the store as I browsed

Plastic Fantastic had photos on their wall of their epic in-store performances, including Lene Lovich and Iggy Pop!

@Mark- Funny you should mention Siouxsie Sioux. My husband just had a Siouxsie-athon, listening to all her records in chronological order, just a couple of weeks ago. I like those Creatures album cover photos of her and her former partner, the hilariously named Budgie!

Hi Lizbot! I/we are doing well, grooving on these songs that we haven't heard for a long time

I remember hearing XTC's Apple Venus Vol. 1 for the first time the day it came out at Plastic Fantastic and immediately buying it. The very poppy twee song "I'd Like That" was playing over the store speakers

Good to hear that, Rob!

The Siouxsie-athon makes me smile. That is so great

haha i agree / a Sioux thon sounds so great / I hope checked out the infamous Sex Pistols morning show clip that she’s in !

@Rob- Yeah, whenever he decides to listen to everything by one artist in chronological order- which he's been doing this entire bizarre year- then I re-experience all the work of that artist too!

@Mark- haha, I'll ask him!

it was scandalous then pretty mild now - they swore on air :)

@mark- haha! I will have to find that on YouTube after the show!

I remember that Public Image Ltd interview where Johnny Rotten was being, well, rotten..."We're not a band, we're a CORPORATION!"

yes that was his rather famous tom Snyder interview/ wow this stereo lab is amazing!

Ha! The word "compliant" invades my world day and night!

@Brian D - haha! But do POSSUMS invade your world day and night??

@Mark - Did you see Stereolab at Union Transfer when they came for that reunion tour? I did an all-Stereolab show that day, then drove right to the venue so I know it was a Thursday, but I don't remember what month...some time in 2019

Well I do break out into George Jones songs often so yeah

Love this Joan A song! Fave!

@BRian D- Nice!

I love Joan Armatrading so much, and this is a badass album cover with a zig-zaggy chair that I know is by some mid-century modern designer titan, but I don't remember which one

John Lydon king of the interview skewers

haha, true

I remember Kurt Loder just pleading "John. .. come on .. don't walk out..." when Rotten was on MTV once. And walked out

@Brian - haha, of COURSE. And I can just hear Kurt Loder's voice in my head!

It is not possible for me to play Yma Sumac without dancing in my chair. Mambo! is pure gold. One of my all-time favorite albums

I'd like to imagine possums dancing in line to this song

complex possum choreography

some possums are prone to get stage fright and play dead....like the one that encountered my dog in the yard several months back

Nooo i remember you talking about it on air / I also kinda remember u saying it sold out almost immediately:(

My "neighbor" Annie

See the carpet of the sunnnnn :-)

@mark - yeah, it did sell out fast

@ROb- Ha!

@Brian D - If Annie Haslam were your neighbor, she'd corner you to talk about her elderly cat every day! the one time I met her, she went on at length about said cat

Did y'all see the tiktok of the opossum being fed jelly with the feeder singing a sea shanty? https://twitter.com/thegallowboob/status/1372293644162568198

@Lizbot, I love Renaissance

@mark- That Stereolab reunion show was like a unofficial WPRB DJ reunion/get-together! I ran into SO many DJs, past and present, as well as lots of old friends from many periods of my life and the owner, John, of one of my other former favorite (long defunct) record store, Space Boy Records, which was on South around 5th. That was a fun show!

@rob- Oh my god, no, I have not and I clearly NEED to !

@Lizbot you should it's only 28 seconds

here's a solo from Eeyore

E.D.O. : "This is your cat. This is your cat on drugs..."

@Brian D - ha!

This loop/edit was used on the Kids Corner program eh?

Ya. Annie H lives down the road a piece last I knew. Never met her.

@Brian D - I think you may be right. I haven't heard Kids Corner in a while, but I used to hear it on my drives home

I think it was a "bed" intro to when she talked

@Brian D - Yeah, I remember when I met her at NEARFest in Bethlehem I thought she lived in the U.K., and then Renaissance played two more shows, I think both at The Keswick, shortly after NEARfest, and I realized she's local!

Yup UK born. I think she married someone from Phila area in 80s & stayed after the relationship ended because she liked rural bucks co

Her cats could run free on the Bucks farmland

PETRA LOVE!

(no, I have no idea if her cats frolic on the carpet of the sun)

This. And that Who Sell Out. Wow. Talented family

Petra has been releasing so many great covers

R.I.P. Charlie Haden

her brother in law in Jack Black, but I'm sure you know that

Joni!

Marianne!

Yes read that. Love the trio sister stuff she did

more talented sisters coming up in the next song after "witches' song"!

the annie h picture in her wiki entry is at NEaRfest / so wish i experienced one of those / entry says her ex husband from n wales pa

@Brian D - I really like Petra's film soundtrack a-cappella covers too'

@Mark - oh, whoa. Well that explains why she's around this area!

Lizbot did you ever hear the song "Keep The Change "artist is Mattiel. She has a powerful voice. Great little song w some cool bells or glockenspiel or keys part. Came out about 2 yrs ago.

Great to hear Maryann Faithful!!!

yes and they played the keswick in 2019 as part of an anniversary tour

But Liz, you are running out of songs on that album you'll be able to play on the air...!

@Brian D - No, I'll have to check her music out! I like a good glockenspiel tune!

OMG I love Hammond Song so much, still

@Bob...haha! Yeah, I know the one song in particular to which you are referring! That's a GREAT song, but yeah, NOT for the air!

I hope the "Ing Ing Ing... " song makes an appearance some day. Can't go wrong w this one tho

@Rob- I know! SOOO good. and here's Robert Fripp!

BINGO !! / this one fills out my card of expected Lizbot song plays :))

@Brian D - Here's the other talented sisters trio I alluded to !

i love the fripperie on this!

@Kristin- FRIPPERIE! Reverie in Fripp! Don't tempt me to add my Fripp parrot into the mix!!

thiiiiiiis part

For after... I like her utility factory suit theme to video https://youtu.be/q-CjjIOlHWg

alas, when the sun goes down, my birds do sleep

@Brian D - I'll check that out post-show! Thanks!

That Fripp solo just creeps in and hits the rib cage.. .

Here's your Joni!

it does...gives me chills, so many parts of this song. in a good way.

@Kristin - Yeah, it's chillingly gorgeous.

Yup, I agree. GREAT song and great album overall. I have it on vinyl :)

For sure!

Wow! Joni's voice takes me waaay back...

This has been a great show! Thanks Lizbot!

Thanks, Rob!

I was doing errands and took you with me!

@Readie, of course I have four more songs cued and not enough time for probably more than one

@Readie - Glad to be of service!

I know, right? it's a thing!

haha, plus I had tech difficulties!

Yeah, but I had a funky dance interlude while walking!

so that ate up some time I would've used for some of these songs!

we're all gonna hear that funk song in our dreams...or nightmares!

That song about not coming back from a sleep, I could relate!

Thanks for the music, and hangin' in there wrangling with the software.. be safe n bcnu

Nightmare Funk!

SOunds like a kitty!

Fortunately it's a good funk tune. But it cuts out and loops awkwardly. Great show!

Good funk, BAD association for us DJs! = tech issues!

Thanks, Alan! G'night!

@Readie- haha, nightmare funk, indeed!

My wife just said "What a fscking set!" as you were reading it off, Lizbot
