Good evening Jon from It always Hails in Philadelphia.Hope not headed your way.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:02:51 PM
Looks like we missed this round. Sunny skies again. Saw some photos from the Philly suburbs that were gnarly.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:02:59 PM
Hope you're keeping dry / safe.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:10:50 PM
Well, there's your project while you listen to tonight's show.

Happens to the best of us.

I used to love seeing the Biz's Beat of the Day segment on Yo Gabba Gabba. 💔 Rest in Peace, Biz.

5:21:09 PM
Hello, Jon, MrM 💀, Patrick et al
Jon Solomon (host)
5:22:00 PM
Yeah, he was the best. Really talented on the turntables and with his voice beyond rhymes.

My internet dropped out, did you ask who Hawaiian shirt thought you were or??? When this happens again it’s okay to ask for the person’s Instagram or Twitter info. I usually just decline. #NoFlashPhotography! 🤪😎
Brian D
5:24:09 PM
CAN! The bottom end on that Biz... whew. Great coming through the car speakers when I was driving . RIP
DSM
5:24:48 PM
Have never heard this Can jam. Very nice to water the houseplants to. Good evening everyone 👋
Jon Solomon (host)
5:26:47 PM
They randomly came up to me and said "can I get a picture? You're that guy" and after they took it they were gone, only to be seen moments later on the jumbotron dancing.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:27:03 PM
It was very funny and super confusing. I wondered if he was doing that to everyone in the stadium.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:27:26 PM
This is off the new live CAN 3xLP deal. Sounds better on the radio than it did at home if that makes sense...
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀
5:28:11 PM
Hello, Foxy Christine! 🦊
Shane Navoy
5:28:57 PM
...on second thought, maybe I do need to buy this live Can. (I saw it in the store and thought "how good can it be ?"). lord almighty, but, Jaki Liebezeit is deft !
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀
5:29:37 PM
Hahaha! Oh, Hawaiian Shirt!
Shane Navoy
5:29:50 PM
... as deft as Biz was in the previous cut.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:32:31 PM
Shane, I mostly really enjoyed it (safe half of side F) but I didn't feel it was essential to own.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:32:58 PM
On the vinyl I believe this piece spans sides C *and* D!
Shane Navoy
5:35:55 PM
okie doke, Jon. your comment that "it sounds better on radio" is quite telling.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:36:19 PM
The whole thing is on Bandcamp so try before you buy!

DSM
5:41:39 PM
Having to flip the record in the middle of this would kinda suck
Jon Solomon (host)
5:43:49 PM
Yeah, no real natural break. They put in an elegant fade if memory serves. The other pieces are each side-spanners.
Jon Solomon (host)
5:53:52 PM
You made it to the other side!
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀
5:56:54 PM
It was a nice selection!
Patrick Rapa
6:00:46 PM
never really thought about how much Mac and Bitter Bitter Weeks are kinda similar
Patrick Rapa
6:01:30 PM
i could have phrased that better
Jon Solomon (host)
6:02:41 PM
Hadn't thought about that but this new song is right there.
Patrick Rapa
6:03:27 PM
yeah
Jon Solomon (host)
6:05:38 PM
I wonder if I will feel comfortable enough with an indoor rock show to go see Mac at Johnny Brenda's in September.
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀
6:05:51 PM
No
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀
6:06:17 PM
Next September, yes
Jon Solomon (host)
6:06:29 PM
That is my hunch. Only shows on my docket are outdoors in open spaces.
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀
6:06:59 PM
That’s best.

Thanks, Joe! Appreciate you tuning in. Glad to have you all in the chat tonight.

6:33:24 PM
Thanks for exposing me to Can. Had a great ride home.
Jon Solomon (host)
6:34:04 PM
Oh wow. Sure thing, Chromex! I think you will enjoy their studio recordings very much.
Jon Solomon (host)
6:40:25 PM
These field recordings (which run into one another) are also a "name your price" download. Especially good in headphones with eyes shut!

Brian Kijewski
6:46:34 PM
Good evening Jon and chat!
Jon Solomon (host)
6:47:05 PM
Brian! I was thinking about you because I still have your station bookmarked but Friday afternoons have been unexpectedly busy.
Shane Navoy
6:48:00 PM
I was wondering why I never saw any of the Sahel Sounds releases in a store or at Forced Exposure. Then I looked at the site. Thanks for the link and for playing this, Jon.
Brian Kijewski
6:48:03 PM
Really dig that new Melenas cover. Heard for first time yesterday. I'd be curious to hear the original.
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀
6:53:31 PM
Oh, BrianKijewski! I caught a recent show with your Brother as special guest! That was fun times! Gotta get that station on Spinitron and have the chat feature! Cheers!
Brian Kijewski
6:54:22 PM
Thanks! I always appreciate a new listener.
Jon Solomon (host)
6:54:33 PM
Sahel Sounds is distributed by Secretly Group for physical releases.
Jon Solomon (host)
6:54:45 PM
So their hard copy stuff should be in stores.
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀
6:54:55 PM
As a fan of WPRP Friday programming I’m probably just lying to BrianKijewski. 😜
Jon Solomon (host)
6:55:15 PM
Brian, the original rules. A surprising number of bands have covered it. Prisonshake, Ooga Boogas, others I can't name right now...
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀
6:56:10 PM
I saw Sahel Sounds has a cassette!? I’d like a cd or vinyl! I’ll keep looking!
Jon Solomon (host)
7:00:36 PM
This one might be tape only.
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀
7:02:44 PM
Let’s protest! Because I’m revolting!
Brian Kijewski
7:04:05 PM
Happy to hear you caught episode with my brother, it's been fun having the occasional guest on this year to program a couple sets

Good to hear the KV Violators rockin’ again. I’ll take freaktrain pt. 2 anytime
Jon Solomon (host)
7:12:30 PM
Yeah, this cover is stellar. Why they put out a shorter "radio edit" is anyone's guess. Let it ride!
DSM
7:14:22 PM
Curious to hear the rest of the comp
Jon Solomon (host)
7:15:44 PM
Yeah, the lineup has me curious. Could be some gems and also some disasters.

That previous song seemed to use the same chords as "Once Upon a Time" by Smashing Pumpkins (from the Adore album).
