Hello, Uneasy Listeners!!! Sorry for the glitchy start, but here we are! ENjoy!

Thank you for this one Pethie.

Soooo......Bath Boy?

(jk jk)

Hi Pethie!

Hello everybody! I'm crying already, hope you enjoy the show!

Hi Pethie! 😢

Tears filling BathBoys bathtub.

DSM, I'm crying just thinking about Bath Boy (also jk)

I'm crying tears of joy 'cause I'm sharing my slot with the wonderful Dana K this semester!

Hello Mom! That Godley and Creme was for you!!!!

I figured that was the case. You are always so thoughtful.

💖

Here's a different take on Nelson's Blue Eyes, by the 80s group Zeitgeist/Reivers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWG-6-grR7g

I will have to check it out, Rob. It's such a lovely song.

I've never heard this version 😊

I was trying to find lesser known versions of all these classics. Me neither!

Ah, are you accepting requests?

Sure!

Hi, Pethie! Thanks for that Everly Bros. track. Rest in peace, Don Everly.

Are you planning to play Johnny Ray ?

Pethie/Ambrose, it's my favorite version of that song

Yeooo again Pethie! @Rob...that Reivers cover is the BEST!

Mom, whatcha wanna hear?

Ima cry too now, this song rips my heart out

Have you ever seen the video? It's surreal and quietly disturbing

How about Linda Ronstadt ?

Oh yes I have.

Have you The Mumps/ Crocodile Tears?

I shall look for it!

Cool, thank you.

Yeaux Jimbeaux!

Howzamabout "Cry" by the Birthday Party? 🎂

YO Bo!

Hi to you Mayellen, Rob, Richard!

Hi Ambrose, jimbeaux, Maryellen, Richard. jimbeaux, I'm glad you like the Reivers/Zeitgeist cover!

Love this song so much 😍

@Pethie, got the Weeping Song by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds?

😀😍

Thank you Pethie!

You're welcome!

Rob, Translate Slowly album by Reivers is just magical...one of my faves.

This is the perfect show to listen to when in

Lol when on a bunch of painkillers

Helloooooooo Commie!!!

Hi pethie, great job!

Yeooo Commie!

Hello Commie F. What ails you?

@jimbeaux, I had it on either a tape or on vinyl, I can't remember. I haven't been able to play vinyl for ~5 years and my 80s tapes are pretty much useless. I did enjoy the Zeitgeist/Reivers first album a fair amount

Thank you so much, I'm glad you are digging it@

Hi Commie!

Roberta Flack is sooo great!

The Ohio group Scrawl had some sad (-inducing) songs, with one song having "Sad" in the title: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt7J3mhmiQo. Not strum and thrum, but from that era

jimbeaux, yr request is coming up!

Super...thx!

@Pethie 😭

😜😍

That said, it's making me happy to hear all these sad songs that I didn't know existed

Hello Rob and everyone who is enjoying

The Sad Cloud by The Seekers

Thanks for the jamz

whoops, enjoying Pethie’s musical selections. I know I am. Now to answer what I’d like to hear from my bestest favourite Linda Ronstadt, “ Don’t Cry Now “.

Was thinking if this song. Didn't know of any covers.👍

Speaking of songs/versions I didn't know existed... This Jonathan Richman song 😊

It's sort of a perfect cover!

@Pethie, WOW! This such a great, great version of this classic.

@Zanti, I only really know the Pretenders cover of this song. Until tonight

Yes!Hank!

@Rob, right?!

Hank has a few weepers

Classic!

Crossed my mind this one

This could be a double show, truly. Triple.

@Pethie, absopossilutely

oh nice

Very nice!

I agree, Pethie

@Pethie, have you Crying Waiting Hoping by Chris Isaak?

Not sure if I do!

I'm trying to think of covers

Love me a 'Crying' by Roy Orbison

@DSM, that's hard to top.

There just has to be a good crying song by ELO too, tho I can't think of it...

@DSM, nor I

There is a Neil Young song though

@Pethie, NICE

Ambrose, are you thinking of Neil's "Cryin Eyes"?

UNDERTONES

Ambrose I'ma guess Don't Cry No Tears?

How did I not think of this since I'm from NI?!

@DSM Yep!

Thank you again, this one will get my tears dropping.

Don't Cry!!!

@Richard, know not that song m8

I just used my last Kleenex

Maryellen, I'd never heard this before, love it!

That’s likely because you are young…I am not. Now you can get to know all of Linda Ronstadt’s incredible recordings. She is the best ever. No one compares to her.

Then theres this

Maryellen ++++

My "if I was stranded on a desert island and I only had one female voice I could bring" it would be... Joan Baez

Yes, I believe Joan Baez runs a close second..

I remember this movie

Thanks to everyone tuning in, I'm going to switch to the non themed part of the night soon! I'm all cried out.

As Mr. Malcontent would say "I'm Cry"

Indeed!

@Pethie, I'm all set (though I did have another tearjerker) in mind.

@DSM, the place isn't the same without MrM.

Bo to answer your question from a while ago i had pretty major surgery the other day. I'm going to be just fine but what else could keep me away from my show for 3 whole weels :(

Hopefully only 3. And I'm missing labor day, my favorite. Krista is playing the internationale for me though.

Peth i love this Janie's crying thing btw

@Commie F. OH, shite! Are you on the mend?

❤️

Slowly mending yes!

That's good to hear, Commie!

Feel better soon CF - miss you, but you have a good subber in Pethie

@Commie F. Sending good vibes!

Thanks for this wonderful show, Pethie! We're heading out shortly

I hope Death Valet Girls are touring the east coast?

Thanks Richard, and Rob!

*Valley

@Ambrose, I don't know!

WANDA!!!

Could you do a Captain Beefheart song? Like SUE EGYPt or THE PAST SURE IS TENSE? the latter dedicated to the past 18 covid months.

She has a New album out!

I'll check those songs out!

Death Valley Girls are not coming to the East Coast att https://suicidesqueeze.net/tour/

Yay abwärts

Wanda Jackson is TRULY the first lady of Rock n Roll.

I didn't realize dvg were even still active, derg

Well her or sister Rosetta Tharpe

Present is pretty tense, as well.

My jaw is permanently clenched

We won't even talk 'bout the future

The pasture is tense, indeed

tents

The pasture is tents ... 🐄 ⛺

The cows are in the tents and the future is clenched

and gn for real

Goodnight Rob!

Just hope coach don't have me benched

good night! thanks for tuning in!

your gut will be wrenched

Down with current sounds.

It's kinda time to dance.

Brian You Know

Name the dance

The Schwitters Stomp

This is some shite!

On the other hand ...

Thanks for listening, stay tuned for Follow the Train with CJ!

I'm too late for the themed part of the show but Information Society - Crybaby would have been my request.
