Good Morning, folks!

Top o' the marnin' to ya Pethie

Glad to have you here, Stevie!

i usually forget to tune in on tuesday morning

Hoorah for remembering today!

Good morning, DJ Pethie! 🌻Hey Stevie P. (aka "Beatnik Sluggo")

Morning Christine!

hey christine

HI DJ Pethie! Just tuned in. Books!!

yay! Hello, Dr. H

Everybody: A Book About Freedom/Olivia Laing

Oooh, I will look it up!

Wilhelm Reich/Nina Simone/Kathy Acker/&c/health/sex/bodies - a+

Ah, that's quite a mix of subjects

*grin*

I remember trying to get into Reich AND Acker back in High School, when I was knee-deep in reading Re/Search magazines and books. But my brain wasn't ready

Reich is a real mixed bag imho - I like late stage Bill, but mostly just for the weirdo/UFO factor. He was a pretty tragic figure at the end.

I spent A week at Orgonon a few years back.

"I still dream/of Orgonon"

I wish we could post photos (of cloudbusters).

this will have to do : https://flic.kr/p/UkLqq6

Handsome machine.

wild stuff!

I gotta check out Wilhelm Reich. Thanks John.

My pleasure!

I'm trying to figure out how I made it so far in life without knowing about Reich, who is so right up my alley!

@John Pittman, thanks for the tip about Olivia Laing's book. 📖 I know very little about Wilhelm Reich.

Also, what is that machine in the photo?

cloudbuster, as I am now blissfully aware

@Christine {¤_θ}° - hope you like it *grits teeth*

Anybody else here besides me planning to construct an Accumulator this weekend?

Go for it, Stevie! And share your results next week with us all!

An Orgone Accumulator, to put a finer point on it

@Stevie P, I think that would just be you! Though I would be interested to hear what happens. Does it accumulate wealth?

@John Pittman, I couldn't help but notice a cool touring bike on the Flickr. Is that yours?

No, silly. It accumulates Orgone Energy, of course

@Stevie P. Ohhhhhhh, OK.

... and I just learned about Reich a few minutes ago!

It probably is? I take pix of "cool bikes that aren't mine", but... Let me look.

The bike with the orange and brown handlebar bag isn't mine - it was from a get-together at Cambridge Bikes in Cambridge MA.

This one's mine, though. https://flic.kr/p/TW5Q6v

A lovely touring bike!

a little late to the show today so don’t know what inspired the reich discussion:)

Did anybody see Robyn Hitchcock's May 1 instore appearance at Randy Now's Man Cave in Bordentown?

the story of how sutherland came to portray him in the KB video is pretty interesting

Mark, we started talking about books we're reading

this new Tindersticks is sublime

glad you liked it, kentman! I'm looking forward to hearing more from the new album.

Yes - my fault - I'm reading Everybody/Olivia Laing - Reich is a focus.

ha so there’s a power clashing book club forming :)

there is now :)

@Christine {¤_θ}° thank you!

I'm here for it. I'm going to recommend Morvern Callar, which I just finished yesterday. Bleak and strange, with a great soundtrack through the pages.

Powerclashing Book Club...I like it 📚

I post the books I'm reading on goodreads (elspeth abel slater), but also on my IG: pethie

Pethie, - added to the TBR list!

I look forward to hearing what you think of it. It reminded me of a book I read last year-The Milkman.

50 books read last year ?! wow !

Yep! I was on a roll. I had a long streak of having trouble reading, after being an avid reader as a kiddo.

Pethie, That's fantastic.✨ Also, thanks for the Morvern Callar recommendation. Added! 📝

You're welcome, Christine!

thanks for the inspiration to finish my stack / every one remember to patronize ur local indie bookstore! :)@

... and local library

agreed on that one stevie p :)

cue the "4 out of 5 librarians agree..." WPRB station ID

hehe... christine

Yes! This almost-librarian agrees. (I work in a library, but i'm not technically a librarian)

I live that you work in a library, DJ Pethie that's so cool. Let's meet back here next Tuesday and discuss music & books! 📚 💗

*love*

I'll be here! Sounds like a plan!

i put a reminder on my calendar so I wouldn't space out and miss powerclashing

again

haha shhhh no talking ! :)

We've been listening while cleaning my car!

Excellent, Stevie!

Stevie P I wouldn't dwell on Reich's later work, his Character Analysis is a classic still in use today

Hello Krista! So happy to have you here! I need to clean my car.

@kentman, good to know.

Kentman, are you suggesting that I will not actually be able to accumulate orgone energy?

Hi, DJ Krista 👋

Thank you Pethie!!!!

that's cuckoo stuff, sorry

great show and chat today. Thanks Pethie!

Thank you everyone! So grateful for this interesting chat today!

Hope you all have lovely days

You likewise! Thanks for Brigitte Fontaine

Thanks, Pethie 🙏 Thank you all...talk more next week

Thank you, Pierre, and Christine!
