heya! happy spring day

Hi Esoterica! Did you just refer to that person as a "Bloominary?" If so, I love it! ✨

Hello all

haha! no, i was actually referring to keith kenny as a luminary.:) but I will take it!

hi bri

abbreviated chat period today given the days event?

i don't leave to go to philly for lilys grad for a little while so I am hanging. pressure off since I recorded (shhh...)

Hello, my esteemed fellow Bloominaries.

yes, although truth be told, our kid somehow didn;t get us tix for the actual event but there is a stream at 2:30 for the communications and English schools. then we are taking her to an actual fancy restaurant

hi, stevie p!

and hello, mark!

ha don’t have to apologize in the least to all the bloominaries

one of my nieces is graduating at Temple today

congrats to your niece!

congrats to your daughter

thx so much. she was a little baby:)

The youngest of my nieces is going off to college in the fall. Seems like just yesterday my son and his cousins were toddlers

So cool. Our reentry into restaurant eating is tomorrow. Excited.

I thought the day would never come! So relieved things are improving by the day

hope u were psychic @ recording and continued the space theme that kinda began yesterday & was the theme of Bernie show :)

nice, bri! where you going? we are going to vernick

welcome, sebastian!

Hi it’s a pleasure to be here with you all 🙂

Eso we are going to one of our faves, Amada in Philly

Tapas explosion

i love amada! that is right! you and I both lived in mah-dreed!

love amada

Sí sí

ha wanna hear the reviews on both / amada is one a my favs - a relative worked there !

Amada looks right up m alley!

Hi, Bloominaries ✨ I am happy to be in your company. May I say, tapas sounds like just the thing today! 🇪🇸

i love tapas bc sometimes i get bored with my own entree and start poaching another fam member's plates...

tapas means variety

not sure tho what to think about Jose Garces :( his new Hope place does look pretty good

is there controversy around garces?

I've always like JG's food... although sometimes the portions are a bit [ahem] small

isn't gordon MacRae's voice amazing?

Gordon is no DJE when it comes to singing. Let's hear him do White Room

very big bankruptcy a few years ago / left a lot of early investors outta $’s

haha thanks, stevie

oooohhhh mark

short story is he over expanded : nyc & ac locations didn’t help

btw mark, i didn't hear bernie. i was out walking

u missed a good space theme show tho no chat :( he had a great playlist & some thought provoking space commentary!

remember: u can always stream outside !

i will check it out

hi all !

hi tom!

ha given the occult talk i know what film music i woulda suggested :) !

weird autotune just now

which? rosemary's baby?

A glitch in the Matrix!

nope but it’s totally Sonic Bloom inspired / never would have been exposed to it wo this show !

hmmmm

I saw “Carousel” a few years ago at the multiplex in Hazlet. ‘Twas one of those Fathom events that theatrically revives classic movies. I haven’t seen any Fathom events since the virus hit, but I’ve lately attended a similar series of events, called Flashback Cinema, at a Toms River multiplex (though I missed “Citizen Kane” last week, consarn it!).

I may not have fully appreciated “Carousel” but I’ll watch anything with Shirley Jones in it, except for that Cowsills-based 70’s sitcom. After one song finished, I heard a man in the back rows cry out “All right, Gordon!”

crowley disciple ken anger : lucifer rising / bobby b soundtrack:) !

yes!

david so interesting! thanks for that amazing story

shirley jones such a talent

and...bonus! loved her in the partridge fam

tho jimmy pages finally completed soundtrack may actually b better

Didn’t Kenneth Anger also play the kidnapped fairy-boy in the 1930’s film version of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”?

what?? really!

i will have to check out

Hello, DJ Esoterica!

Greetings and Salutations to One and All!

yeah he did some connection to it / gotta look 👀 up too

Hola Senor M

mr. m! hi again!

will do, mrak?

yeah that is right, mrak lol

If you plan to check it out, I must warn you: Mickey Rooney’s atrocious performance as Robin Goodfellow will make your skin crawl.

ok, can't be worse than him in breakfast at tiffinays

haha it’s spelled amrk:) anger also had connection to jack parsons who was mentioned in the interview

huh

wow that. is cool, mark

ha great interview & very fresh music : I’m shazam #1 on this one :)

Nice interview, DJ Esoterica! Thanks!!

thanks!

keith kenny coming up!

#1 on this one too / why this IS the worlds greatest station!

some interesting stories about the 67 tv special this Nancy song from

cool

nice

didn't hear you mention this on air but this is apparently Donald Trump's favorite song.

The lonely woman in “After Hours” was played by Verna Bloom (“Medium Cool”, “High Plains Drifter”, “Animal House”).

coulda also gone pj version in basquiat :)

sorry if you said it and I didn't hear!

whoa, owen! that just depresses me haha

those minor chords make the hair on the back of my neck stand up

yes david! love verna bloom! i need to watch those films!

high plains an all time great !

it's the most depressing and revealing fact I know about DJT. His favorite song is about how life in meaningless so we should just drink and dance...and he neither drinks nor dances

James Dickey. Good book

I missed Nancy Sinatra when she played about two decades ago at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, her daddy’s hometown. The opening act was an underground NYC band I fondly remember: The Hissyfits (I still have a couple of their cassette tapes).

John Boorman director of Deliverance and Excalibur still with us I see.

this music not to be confused w dueling Brando’s which we discussed :)

...she looked at me as if I were a bug...

I haven’t seen the movie “Oliver!” in ages. I understand the boy star’s singing parts were dubbed by some adult woman! Davy Jones played the Artful Dodger in the play’s West End production, then in the Broadway production (which was showcased on the Ed Sullivan Show on the same date the Beatles debuted there). Understudies in the West End production included Phil Collins and Steve Marriot.

wow & the marriot guest appearances in his bio r amazing/ what a tragic ending :(

The first movie John Boorman directed was “Having a Wild Weekend” starring the Dave Clark Five. I assumed it was a ripoff of “A Hard Day’s Night” before I finally saw it on TCM---but the Five really do ACT in the movie, playing characters that are apparently not musicians!

Gotta add that to my watchlist, David.

Eric Weissberg played it for Deliverance (RIP 2020). Along with Steve Mandell. The Earl Scruggs version is great too

Re: John Boorman, I'm now (unfortunately) thinking about ZARDOZ...

His son Charlie Boorman did some cool around the world motorcycle trips with Ewan McGregor. As well as his crazy creepy child role as Mordred in Excalibur

haha christine/ unfortunately u brought up those memories for me / maybe connerys worst movie:(

wow, bri!

Johnny Paycheck episode is crazy.

hmmm i gotta see that Episode / maybe able to fact check some the rick James stuff! :)

Superintendent Chalmers dressed up as Zardoz in a Halloween episode of "The Simpsons".

it is crazy, bri!

@David, OMG I just had to look that up! 😄 Zed cosplay is definitely not for the faint of heart.

guys, i have to shut down chat

Bye DJE

Same time next week? :-)

Bye, DJ E!

Agreed Keith

understood & great show and interviews:)

tho u could appoint a chat monitor:)

thx, all! i can stay for ten

Was “Zardoz” Sir Sean’s worst film? Consider the cinematic remake of the 60’s British TV show “The Avengers” or his final film before he quit acting: “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”, which caused the book’s author Alan Moore to insist he not be credited for any following film adaptations of his work!

hope to hear restaurants reviews next week / I’m gonna check out chat recommendations luhv tonite:)

absolutel

saw keith kenny at j&p's a year or two ago and then a little later at their invitational with deaner

he was really great

hi connor!

yes kenny is great!

haha shazam 1 for all three interviews songs !

i don't use shazam...what does that mean, mark?

it hears song & app returns artist song lyrics info etc

started to resuse it last year when PRB was robot controll w no back announce

actually i can stay for a little while until 2:25 pm

and when you say #1 what does that mean?

im The first who listened to song & used the app to identify it ! shows how fresh music is

lol, 5 more minutes, like saying I'll just have one more, next thing you know you're sitting in a Denny's at 3AM

my library of music from past year of shazaming mostly PRB is over 7000 songs

hahaha tom

thx, mark

someday I may download & sort by date and time all the sonic Bloom plays :)

for comparison sake his song has been shazamed 1.3 million times

Love that low baritone guitar in there. El bajo sexto

yes!

bri los lobos so talented

Actually the bajo sexto is another instrument but whatever

gotcha!

I saw them one time and they rearranged La Bamba set to the Jimi Hendrix arrangement of Like a Rolling Stone. Extension of an extension... it worked well

wow, cool, bri

Fraternity of Man had Ritchie Hayward from Little Feat i think
