much love ! big ups

Hidey ho!!

Welcome back Readie!

Thanks Alan! Good to be back - and much love to Kat for a tremendous program plus last week!

I have to say I love Renée Reed and I have got to dive into her oeuvre!!!

Gotta tell ya Readie, Thanks for playing '39 near the end of your last show, caught it on the FM, and yes it was a sing - along.

Yeah! And the "live" video of that with Roger on tambourine is super cool!

The story is that you played it about 10 years ago as a request that I made back then, i played the tape that I made of that show and the big topic was about this bike racer named Armstrong!!

Wow, I was just gonna say- I'm pretty sure it was you who requested that! Memories!

That track is about Time Dilation, long story but it's real special to me...

As I understand it, it has a space travel theme?

Yes.

Dr. Brian May- astrophysicist! That man is sooo cool

He was divided between music and astrophysics as a career.

This was in an interview by writer Timothy Ferris

I think he got his doctorate AFTER he was already in Queen for some time.

From what I know every member of that band has a doctorate or MS degree...

I would not be surprised. I was fortunate to have seen them live MANY times- Freddie - incredible

Bryan May got his doctorate in 2007

And hi everyone

@Alan, I didn't know that about Queen

Oh wow- thanks Rob- and I didn't realize it was that recent!

@Readie sure & for some reason I thought it was more recent (I looked it up on wikipedia)

BTW I'm watching a live videocast and not listening to the station

It's a very sad story about this guy who travels to the stars and back, time dilation when he returns home many more years have passed, his wife is gone but he sees her eyes in his daughter's eyes...

Yeah, Brian May is very sentimental and sweet, an animal and environmental activist as well

@Rob-mI should play Greta Thunberg's "How DARE You!" for not listening to WPRB, lol

You should! I'll be there in a little more than half an hour

haha only jivin'

;-)

This is the kind of music I used to play as a wee child, and my mom used to say, "STOP BANGIN' ON THAT THING!"

And when I say "play", I mean actually perform...

This jawn is amazing in headphones

This Xymox is sort of setting the mood as the skies here in Philly are getting darker and cloudy

Those first two Clan of Xymox albums are so good! I didn't know the Peel sessions existed.

sounding great tonight Readie

Helluva way to run a space program!!!

Space junk is annoying, but this band is fantastic: https://spacejunkisforever.bandcamp.com/

Thanks, @Brian! Good to see everyone!

Is everyone ready for the space debris late tomorrow night?

who will be lucky enough to see it?

I'm not staying up so the only way I'll see it is if it knocks on the door

someone will capture it no doubt

https://twitter.com/AerospaceCorp has a pinned tweet with info on expected re-entry time

which is currently about 2 pm eastern USA time

Cool

It looks like the first pass/orbit will take it over the mid-Atlantic heading southeast. I don't know how long it takes to make a complete orbit. The next pass over the US would bring it over South Carolina

But there's still a lot of uncertainty

Space.com reports it will fall into the Indian ocean

How long before something very bad happens? what about the dinosaurs?

are we next?

Alan, that's the same map on Twitter. I had the impression that was when it would re-enter the lower atmosphere and continue to orbit

*round the earth until it burned up/actually hit the surface. I hope your interpretation is correct!

I guess it depends on the Direction it's headed....

I dunno Readie, maybe the dinosaurs will go extinct

I like this Quietus piece

Maybe so, but then, what a way to go...blown up in a space junk maelstrom

The Quietus piece is like the soundtrack of my recent hospital stay lol

@Readie, yikes! I trust that things are better now

Poor Readie! But she's back like a trooper :) :)

I've had one kidney stone in my life. That was enough!

Oh man, Readie, I'm sorry to hear about your kidney stone!

Yeah, thanks guys- things are better...want to get into prevention mode now!

And Brad as well

Prevention is better than the alternative

Yeah, it's tricky! I have hereditary diadvantage on both sides....

Ok, so I checked out a few of the space-junk sites and the short story is that the chinese rocket will re-enter between 3AM and 2PM tomorrow anywhere between 40 degrees N to 40 degrees S...So glad I narrowed it down...all the maps look like spaghetti !!!!!

So, Alan, where is that on the blue marble?

Truth be told ANYWHERE between 40 N and 40 S

The upper Earth atmosphere has unpredictable density fluctuations

Best bet is to listen to Gabriel and chill.....

yup

Alan, I had read it was 3 am UTC *Sunday* which is 11 pm Saturday here in New Jersey & Maryland

Thanks Rob, But it's not just the time,but the where, and all prediction maps as of now are "out to lunch", as far as I can tell, the closer we get to "crashdown" time the more accurate. Hopefully most of it will burn up...

Tony Levin is the Boss of Bass. Work with King Crimson is legendary.

i know the feeling -missing live music ( talking close no masks? nooo!

The WPRB Mothership shall never crash!

I agree, Matthew...not ready for close- talkin' yet

@Alan- yes the WPRB mothership! it's still there as far as I know...wink

Yeodelly-hoo Readie!

Allo Jimbeaux!!! welcome to the weekend!

Alan, I am coming to the out to lunch conclusion too. Thankfully the Mothership will never crash!

Thanks for this show Readie, and stay healthy

thank you for a wonderful show today, keep safe and be well : )

Thanks for hangin' in there and doing the show Readie! Peace! Be safe n bcnu

Thanks, Alan- great chatting today!

Thanks, Rob- you too!

Thanks for being here, y'all make me verrry happy!!!

Peace all!
