Boz Scaggs (host) 8:16:44 PM
that's oi polloi - anarcho pie
Boz Scaggs (host) 8:17:02 PM

Boz Scaggs (host) 8:19:49 PM

crucialobject 8:29:22 PM
Yay don't back the front! always such a good surprise to tune in for this bc I can't think in clock time recently
crucialobject 8:29:28 PM
hi everyone.
crucialobject 8:29:56 PM
ok this is an amazing song, and its the first time I'm really feeling a Liars song!
Boz Scaggs (host) 8:29:58 PM
yay! glad you found us tonight!
Boz Scaggs (host) 8:30:34 PM
the first liars album (which is what that song is from) is quite a bit different from the rest of their output
jimbeaux 8:30:53 PM
Did Liars just totally rip off UFO by ESG?
Boz Scaggs (host) 8:31:30 PM
they sampled it!
Boz Scaggs (host) 8:31:53 PM
the full song title got cut off, it's actually "Tumbling Walls Buried Me In The Debris With ESG"
jimbeaux 8:34:30 PM
We'll call that "homage" :)
crucialobject 8:36:47 PM
that's amazing! I'm excited to listen to the full album :)
crucialobject 8:40:43 PM
uncomfortable 😆
Dennis Prieto 8:42:54 PM

jimbeaux 8:43:13 PM
Different Liars drummer on 2nd album...actually knew first drummer Ron, who was in a few good non-funky bands prior in Nebraska.
Dennis Prieto 8:43:46 PM
i learned about the liars. i had seen the lyres (from boston) about 30 years ago.
Dennis Prieto 8:44:05 PM
can you fit any Young Marble Giants into the mix?
jimbeaux 8:45:36 PM
Lyres would have been good to see!
pethie-ish 8:46:23 PM
SWOONING
Dennis Prieto 8:46:30 PM
they were legendary, jimbeaux
Boz Scaggs (host) 8:47:20 PM
Lyres were great. I'll see if I can fit some YMG in - love them.
Rob from Maryland & Brood X 8:47:35 PM
Ooh, YMG?
Dennis Prieto 8:47:46 PM
thanks, boz!
pethie-ish 8:47:54 PM
