Happy Saturday, octopi!

Hey Dan 🐙 🌊 🦑

Howdy Christine!

Please tell me you weren't awake all week!

I was not, thankfully. Though it probably would make for an interesting radio show

@ Christine Maybe he meant the 🐙 was awake all week..

The octopus of tomorrow knows all and thus never sleeps

It may or may not be an elder god

@Alan, Oh, the *cephalopods* stay awake....OK

We definitely do *not* want to perturb the Elder Gods...

@ Christine: Astronomer Octupi ...Must have alien like minds..

Hi Dan!!! Really diggin' this Julia, has a Celtic like sound to me

@Alan, I like that image. Though it is slightly terrifying

@Alan It's really great! I just recently stumbled across this album, and its vibe is so spot on

🧛🏼 🧛🏻 🧛🏻‍♂️ 🧛🏿‍♂️ 🧛‍♀️ The pods are opening up...

The Great thing about being an Octopus, is that you don't have to shave or take a shower.. But I do! So I'll be switching to the FM in the bathroom bcnu Christine & Dan! 💦💦🎶🎶🎶

Talk to you later, Alan! 🐙 🚿

❤️💛💚 Deborah Harry!!!

Happy non-octopus activities, Alan!

bcnu Christine! 🌸😊🌟☀️🌸😊

💜💜💜 Hailu Mergia & The Walias Band! My current fave new album.

So good!

"Octopuses are the superstars of their invertebrates because of their astonishing intelligence." ⭐"Octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish are true aliens with respect to us. No other intelligent animal is as far from us on the tree of life."

Oooo. I don't think I've seen that particular article about the wonders of the octopus

Curses i missed comus

But here in time for momus

I wonder if there are any other _omus bands?

And I suppose I really did this wrong by not ending the show with Momus...

Yeah i was just saying the same thing!

Ya blew it ruccia

Suppose I gotta turn in my DJ card...

There's Domus, a Swedish duo. I've not heard their music; I just spotted them on Bandcamp.

All i can think is hippopotamus but not quite

The way Flanders and Swann pronounce it would work

There's apparently a traditional Irish group called Nomos

(And I swear there's a Brooklyn afrobeat band which has a similar name but I can't remember)

Nice

(That's Nomo, not Nomos!)

9.7

I stay tuned in all show

I give DJ DanRuccia 💯

9.8 for correct theme naming

Ha!

Awww, thanks, MrM!

And glad to get back that missing tenth, Commie. They add up!

Dan, you're aiight with us. 💯 No need to surrender your DJ card!

All the thanks goes to you, DJ Sir!

Cheers Dears!! 🎉 🐙 🖤 💀

And now to go rip my not-very-assistant-like assistant DJ from her Avatar, the Last Airbender marathon to get her ready for bed

@christine whew, that's a relief. You never quite know when those DJ pop quizzes will come up...

Thanks for listening, everyone! You're in excellent hands with Commie for the next 3 hours
