https://c.tenor.com/F--yhr6atnMAAAAC/is-this-a-what-day-is-this.gif

hello!

JaJaJaJa @the_dude

hi, andrew! hi dude!

haha thanks, dude. thanks for being on top of everything;)

day, time, space

That cat might want to try contact lenses. Meow

Just zoomed in on that pic Andrew Gruen!

NPs! AC Newman!

I hope the cat’s name is CHAINSAW

it took so many attempts to get that pic

Great album this one. The Slow Wonder

Sir Matthew checking in

Nice! Meow!

aha! meeoooww

@andrew, aww. 🐱 ➕ 👓

hi christine!

Hey Esoterica! 👋

how are you this fine day?

Cat nose on this album cover!

Dubya prb comin in clear in Phillipsburg, Nj

Better now that I'm listening to the Sonic Bloom! 🌸 Hey, Bloominaries 👋

awesome!

That gif really ties the chat room together Dude

cool, matthew! glad it was coming in clear!

IS coming in clear

A fine contribution, @dude ☕

Haha! Thanks, happy to oblige. Some times there's a man for his time and place ..

Very enjoyable start to the show! Cheers, DJ Esoterica!

Hey friends, popping in to say hi ! limited chatting for me because of crazy work meetings today

thx, mr. m!

🥃 ➕ 🥃 ➕ 🍺

hi tom!

Hiccup!

here is the Laws reference o the trad. tune Cole Younger, many variants http://www.fresnostate.edu/folklore/ballads/LE03.html

I'd recommend the word "either" in between the brown liquors here but a great tune nonetheless. The boolean "and" may lead to increased brain dehydration next day

MrM 💀 is starting early...

Boolean !!

Hola Esotericans!

I mean bragging about drinking yada but really.. savor the brown liquors and choose one or the other at a time maybe. Unless it's a tasting! Thimble glasses! Nurse Ratchet....

Good on ya, Brian D!

Yo Esoterica! And radio land friends, hello!

Excuse me, Christine you are the one with three drinks all lined up!!

Hiccup 😵‍💫 🥴 😵

I'm just the bartender, MrM.

Ha! Well, my three glasses are empty!! 😡

Christine, I'll take that order, been that kind of week

Hi DSM, what'll you have?

One scotch, one bourbon, and one beer please.

maybe some pretzels if you got them

I’ve been dry for months and months. Feeling goood!

hi dsm! a beer sounds good now!

Congrats MrM!

only thing that sounds better than a beer and a glass of whisky would be.... another and another

oh good for you, mr. m.

But yes Esoterica, a lunch time beer is quite tasty

And another and another and on and on and on and on and on and on

Work beers are classy, very European

this conversation 🤣🤑🤠

bunch of thirsty chatters today!

I am having a Humm kombucha right now! When I stopped drinking last spring for a long spell, kombucha got me through (and meditation!)

Good for you, MrM 💀! I'm very selective and sparing about my beers & cocktails these days.

@Eso, excellent on the meditation & kombucha ✨

i have cup of coffee. lol. Just found out I may be working Saturday so I can't have the proper amount of Friday drinks.

Anyone see that movie Another Round with Mads Mikelson? It's pretty enjoyable, but a bit odd that a bunch of middle age men are just figuring out how much is too much to drink

meditation i still need to practice and learn much more.

and congrats MrM!

hi E and bloomies now ya have me looking into the story of the youngers & james bros what other radio station inspires that ? :)

Humm looks good, I sell a local brew from a place called Portch Tea at my cafe

loved another round! Mads has a great face!

@DSM, I never saw that movie; it sounds interesting.

aw thx, mark! glad you checked that out

I’m mad for MADS MIKKELSEN

Oh speaking of movies just an FYI for those curious ..had the psychotronic meeting this past Monday ( was postponed) and I screened Metamorphosis: the Alien Factor and it was a good time. Check it out if you want a cheesy alien movie..very cronenberg

Like this set

Most of Mads movies are pretty good, the first two of the Pusher Trilogy are excellent

isn't he the cats pjs, mr. m?

ooohh have not seen, dsm. must check out

@Eso, meditation is always worthwhile, imo. It sounds like you have the beginner mind, always fresh.

yes, a beginner

A great Dane, Mads.

very gritty Eso, avoid the remake

ok will do! thx kindly, dsm!

@the_dude, that movie sounds like it checks a lot of the entertainment boxes.

I’m looking forward to tearing through that history lesson link, thanks DJ Esoterica!

i will check out, dude! i love cheesy

forgot about this Strawberry Glaze tune. Saw it pop up in prb setlists around 2020.

yeah it is catchy, cool guitar IMO

That strawberry is running a high fever!

BAUHAUS 🤎

yes, dsm! fever dreams fever days

yes, mr. m! bauhaus always a good idea:)

MrM, did you ever catch the band Black Black, they would play with Abe Vigoda sometimes, anyway, Diva is Kevin Haskins (Bauhaus) daughter!

According to DSM: Strawberries Are Spreading Covid-19

They were quite enjoyable

wow interesting, dude. i didn;t know that

What?! Fun! Not familiar, DSM! Thanks for sharing!

Hi, hi, hi, my little droogies!

Strawberries ARE Covid-19 MrM, DuHhH!

DuH Schmitty

Calvin and the Beat Happening!

A fantastic charcuterie board of sound

Can i get recap modotti by fugazi played at some point?

Like a summer and fall valley music on the open road highwaya

Other suggestions like songs of Res and All Saints :)

I gotta dip out of the chat and drive a few errands. 🚗 I'll be listening! Thank you Esoterica for these amazing sets! 💯✨ take care, Bloominaries

I'm cry

Me To Cry 😭

haha esoterica maybe does a better mrM than the OG :)

🤪🤣🥲 @mark

lol

Well well well my little droogies, I have to transfer my ears to my Sonic Bloom Mobile Unit. I'll be listening but unchatable for the rest of the show.

Great show today, as per usual, DJE!

thx for stopping by, stevie p and the kind words:)

I’m still ghosting Stove toP

👻😈😹

Did ᎷяMØØ say something? I have him on ignore.

This f’ing guy rn

But as an empath, I sense he said something snarky

Droogies ?! clockwork reference !

Ahhhh ... Double Nicks

Mark, I began today's chat journey by saying: Hi hi hi, my little droogies.

⏰🍊 🔪🇬🇧

haha missed it the hi , saw the bye :)

L8TRZ ALIG8TRZ

This show is real horrorshow

just got back from my lunch break to Devo!

hey colin! good for you!

MINUTEMEN ❣️

who needs post lunch coffee when one has office devo dance parties!

DEVO ❤️♥️❤️

Working in a coal mine.

De-evolution circa 2015 onwards

Oooh and Double Nickels!

oh yeah, corage mike

love double nickels, classic

@matthew you speak nadsat prb dj played heaven 17 recently another clockwork derived

This song, I fondly remember this used for Mojo Jojo in PPG in a commercial amv 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Mojo is also badass and scary in the prequel movie!

Devo totally had us all pegged.

More than the TV series

haha ossy, cool!

I do speak nadsat; am I bilingual?!

These songs are great but nothing like a malenky bit of the ol' Ludwig von's 9th, o my brothers

clockwork orange, nice

@mark cool!

Devoto!

spare me some cutter me brother :)

Lol! You got it @mark, you bolshy bastard

This is a cover?

haha

yeah, bri, you are a magazine fan?

or more buzzcocks?

Digging all the fun orchestral pop, between this and the Nancy & Lee you played yesterday. Some cool orchestrations!

Never really heard to much magazine. 81 is my college radio wheelhouse.

aw thx, dan! means a lot coming from you

thx for stopping by!

I mostly know Devoto from Buzzcocks but have liked the Magazine tunes I've heard

Anum Preto is pretty cool: https://anumpreto.com.br/

IMO

tough call: Howard Devoto music from magazine or buzzcocks

periodic reminder : steve garvey interview return

I agree and concur with DJ Esoterica #ANUM•PRETO💗

Oh, from Brazil 🇧🇷💚

Final Fifteen Mins?!? I’m cry

from the guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2016/nov/08/roy-wood-wizzard-the-move-glam-rock-pop-genius

MELVINS 🖤💀

fascinating article - looks like largely responsible for 10538 overture

Our true king, King Buzzo

Yeah, Melvins! ⚠

5 Legged Dog recorded in an abandoned Sizzler 🤣👍🥩

what??!!

truly?

What's up? What's up? What the fuck's up, Denny's?

Didn't realize "California Man" was a Move song, and not a Cheap Trick original (via that article)

Is true

I miss the Malibu Chicken at Sizzler

Me too Matthew, I miss The Sizz

Wow ACR. This was quite dance hit in NYC in the early 80s

I hope my forgotten Glam adjacent request makes the notes for next week’s show 🥺 at least the artist even if a different song 🕺

I like all the delicious morsels we were served today! Thanks, DJ Esoterica!

Tasty show indeed Esoterica! Thanks!

hey thanks, dsm!
