Chat is open!

Hey Jon!

I can hear you

I hear you in Oregon

hear ya loud n clear

You so fine

Yeah we can hear you

NOOB ALERT

There was a weird static noise, but it’s all good

It was a Hoy Ploy. And all Pell Mell.

Hello all. It is great to see you each here.

Would you say you’ve overloaded them with the song?

Thank you for confirming I was on the radio. One setting was off and I am a creature of habit.

bobbing head cat meme continues...

Also, I was looking for audio where audio never is. Oh, me.

Everyone good? More or less?

A nice non eventful week for me, much welcomed after the past month

Getting by

Hangin in, here. How are you @Jon & everybody?

In that liminal space where it’s too early for a Covid test, and allergy season is in full swing, so…

Clocked out of work. on way to Chiro. Jon Solomon show is on. Batting 1001

Mary, our friend of both of ours was in a similar spot yesterday.

Rapid tested just to be sure, glad he did.

Holy Lou and Sterling Batman. Very 69 VU ish

Agreed, @Brian. Sooo Velvety

@Jon yeah, I’m figuring tomorrow will be Day 5, so either tomorrow or Friday I can take a rapid test. Taking an allergy pill cleared the sinuses but not all of my chest, so who knows—my allergies can be *horrible*.

I wouldn't say this new collection of old(er) Sonic Youth recordings is "essential" but it is a lot more compelling than I expected some basement jams to be.

The less you think of it as an album, the better it gets.

If that makes sense.

Yeah I love it more and more the more I hear it

Same, Brian. Especially tonight on the radio.

It's a beautiful groove.

Thoroughly enjoying this SONIC YOUTH 💖 track!

Hi, DJ JonSolomon!

So glad this band let the tape roll a lot

Greetings and Salutations, to One and All!

Mr. M! Good evening.

Yeah, I wasn’t gonna rush out and get this, but this is really gorgeous

Great selections to start the show!

Each of the 5-6 cuts is similarly soothing.

It certainly hit me right tonight.

Hi Jon, Mary, MrMalcontent 💀, Brian, DSM 🍩 & Rina!

Not unlike this Vanishing Twin live recording.

Can't believe they played their first stateside shows and they were all out west. Boo!

WestSiiidddeee! I was busy those days

Hey Christine! 😊 🍩

I feel like this cover art could potentially be a 'magic eye' picture

@Christine hello! And hello to everyone else!

I sort of blew any hopes of greeting each of you individually at this point. There are too many of you! I'm outnumbered! Run!

Good evening everyone!

James Totally! Hello!

MISSION OF BURMA❣️

Question for everyone/anyone. I have yet to see a show at the Foundry/Fillmore, and I just found out there is one coming up that I want to check out. I see only one tiny lot on the maps, is that it for parking? Or am I missing something?

ENNIO MORRICONE ❤️

The last two times I went there, I parked up by Johnny Brenda's.

Has been some years though.

That Morricone was down right pleasant

@James, parking near the Fillmore is a challenge. You may end up parking a few blocks away, like Jon said. Cute cat, btw! ⚾

Are you allowed to park at the casino? Or will they tow?

@Christine Thank you!

Good Evenin y’all!

Hi Addie...I like your new 'do!

Hello Addie

Thanks and hello Christine! I was jealous of your fresh icon so I switched mine up!

Heya James!

I think I liked that more than regular SY don't @ me!

DSM @ @ @!

lol. L@L

I have helicopters overhead covering Villanova right now

Shoutout!

Woot woot!

Hi all! Hope Maggie spends her winning wisely!

I recall "Who Are Parents" playing during some of the strange familial machinations that went on during DUNE.

I knew it! Thank you for confirming, Jimbeaux.

The 45 second nap I took during Dune in the theater was one of the best naps I have ever had.

Having already seen the movie at home, there was no reason not to.

Can Will Smith smack the chit outta DJ Khaled next?! Please and thank you! @Me if you want to waste your time.

Have you seen the trailer for Everything Everywhere All At Once?

@James, yes and I'm looking forward to the movie. I am all about the multiverse.

I have! Those who saw the movie in full rave.

The sand worms slo-mo undulating to "My Pal Foot Foot" was also sublime.

Hello Jon! Hello Chat! Love that new Vintage Crop track, especially the ending jam. And was totally caught bye surprise learning of this new Jane Weaver single.

Jane Weaver 💜

I neglected to fire the NEW JANE WEAVER klaxons.

Loving the beepiness

🚨🚨🚨 NEW JANE WEAVER 🚨🚨🚨

There we go.

Dennis, if you love beeps do I have a next hour+ for you.

Good evening peeps 😁

!!!!!

TAndy!

Good evening everyone!

Hey Rob, Jon, Dennis

Hi TAndy

Absolutely loving this track! Very chill.

Rob! Addie! Let us enjoy this ride together.

Hey Tandy!

Excited to read we be beepin' for an hour+ !!

This mood is 💯

All the beeps, please

I heart bleeps and bloops.

Pile on more beeps on those beeps, please.

We like the songs, the songs that go BEEP! We're 🐯 and 🐰 and we like the BEEP! 🎶

OMG OWL

DSM, I can not promise the exact Length of Beep only an estimated Length of Beep.

Hi Jon, we are indeed enjoying tonight's ride!

Don't think I need to include a "spoiler alert" but I added the titles of the four movements in the playlist moments ago.

(I believe we are still in Movement I)

Saw that. Appreciate you.

🚨 Appreciation alert! 🚨

Can't wait for the stunning conclusion of Movement 4: Beep Truth

Beep Cover, Beep Impact, Warriors of the Beep...

How could I forget Beep Rising?

Perfect music for me to be waking up to

Mornin' Andy!

Good morneve jimbeaux

Quantum Beep

With Scott Beepula?

Testing

Test received!

Ugh @the magical tubes of the EnterWebs

Testing passed. You get a ∆+ MrM!

My other message disappeared 👿

If you love something you must let it go

And the delay is weird.

This has to be the dinner track. What's everybody eating?

Tater tots!

This is marvelous! Garlicky green rice with eggs, avo, radish, cotija, lime.

I honestly luv to eat tator tots

Oddly not hungry yet, might just make a quick sando in a bit. Tater Tots sound great tho

I always feel like Napoleon Dynamite when I do

that also sounds great jimbeaux, now maybe I am getting hungry...

Bowl o' Beeps as an app

Got the Hots for Tater Tots...could eat a whole damn bag.

I could go for some more beans in sofrito but alas the last can of beans I have is expired

Bean cans expire!?

Dinner is pierogi with kimchi and Brussels sprouts. Thought we had two boxes of pierogi, alas only one.

Ready in 10.

Pierogi and sprouts makes so much sense.

This recipe is a constant winner around here. Sheet pan. I'll post a link.

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021946-sheet-pan-pierogies-with-brussels-sprouts-and-kimchi

Leftover Chana masala, aloo gobi, and saag here.

Nice! I almost defrosted some chana masala for lunch today but something came up so it was a consolation prize bowl of peanuts instead.

Hmm. *adds kimchi to shopping list*

@Addie they kind of do! I had a can of beans a year after date. They were edible but had a horrible plasticky metallic taste. Presumably from the liner of the can breaking down or transfer of ions from the metal can scientific blah blah

Because of various schedules there was no grocery shopping this week so it is a Use Up Random Things Week. Tomorrow the spare Thanksgiving fake meat roast!

@TAndy ewww!

@Jon that’s going right into my dinner rotation!

@Jon, that’s it—I’ve broken down and just bought a NYT Cooking subscription.

Feel free to DM favorite recipes

Good call, Mary. Times cooking SLAYS. Pierogie sprout combo a proven winner.

Recipe i made tonight from there.

Yeah, I'm with Jimbeaux on this (and most things). I will collect a list from the person with the device that actually logs into the app properly (this is not me).

I'll be steaming some vegetable dumplings in a few mins. 🥟

Steamed dumplings, nice. I need to do that soon.

Ah shit

Dagnabbit

OH SHIT MUSIc

FM is down

could not handle the Beauty of Beeps

Uh oh

ooffa.... sounded like it was just getting to a nice place

Damn

Finnish funk on FM 🇫🇮

The server wants perogies and sprouts too

Curses!! 🤬

FM back

Back!

Stream is back

Let’s pretend this never happened

Whew!

Back to the food...

I could fall back asleep to this song rn

Ooohh pretty

ahhh.... Looks like Luhv Chick Pea Burgers on bagels w roasted red peppers n spinach

I'm looking online, but I can't find "Sans Mobile Apparent" with English subtitles.

Weirdly, my monitor of the stream never went to drums. It did go silent for a spell but I thought it was the piece!

How long was the outage?

(roughly)

About 15 seconds?

15 seconds?

Maybe 15-20 seconds?

I thought it was a bit longer but wasn't focused on it

Phew. Thank you all for your attention.

Came late to the (dinner) party, but just have to ask: @Jon, are you wearing your ascot-bib?

@David, I don't know anything about the film itself unfortunately. Could it be available domestically under a different name?

Chris, when am I not?

unexpected here

plot twist!

https://www.blu-ray.com/Without-Apparent-Motive/928082/

time for a Citrus Rescue

https://www.modcinema.com/categories/2-70-s-films/358-without-apparent-motive-1971-dvd

Not sure about streaming.

... ok... now rinse and you can spit it out into the drain here...

sounds like one of those pop up lawn sprinklers and david lynch 'electric' soundFX

This fourth movement recalls an MRI machine full of cicadas. I mean that as a compliment.

Well done, Brian and DSM.

I did love love 75% of this

That average would win you a batting title or a three-point shooting contest.

MRI machines sound dope

I like what ever craziness is happening now.

Last I had one (I'm fine) I told them I didn't need headphones because "it sounded like a bunch of music I listen to."

I’m building a tiny AT-AT to this by the way.

Out of...?

I had one once and they asked me to choose a style of music. I reluctantly did. And.... the audio failed. Sound of the MRI the entire time. I was happy with that turnout. Tech fail win

The last time my mom had an MRI (she's fine) she was asked what she wanted to listen to and she chose a record I had recently worked on and that's lovely.

Now that is the win

that's very sweet

It’s a little kit Mary got me for my bday. About 1-3/4 inches tall. My eyesight sucks.

i enjoy your star wars instagrams

This will be in next years, hopefully.

Bandy camps Friderday coming up. My cart runneth over from last 3+weeks

Was getting a seltzer from the fridge and I realized as I was grabbing it I realized I neglected to say hello to Brian K in the chat. Brian D, I covered!

@Pat and thanks!

@Brian I have Jane Weaver and this on my Bandcamp wishlist already.

This morning Marvin played a great soothing vibraphone piece that I plan on editing into an alarm tone: Mika Takehara, marimba, Ludwig Nilsson,, vibraphone Vibracell Skog, Ylva

Never would have guessed that the truth of beeps would be that

The real beeps are the beeps we made along the way.

I don’t know how to deal with hearing a new song right now.

in the end, the beeps you take are equal to the beeps you make

It is a pretty good new song to hear, but I do understand.

not to be confused with the brappppps you make

@DSM! 😄

waking up with some good ole rock n roll!

Oh man, i do regret not seeing the Feelies when they were in town. But I did find a Yung Wu record this weekend!

Jerz Heroez

That Yung Wu record is one of the 3-4 best Feelies records, I'd say.

Mary, you can't see it all.

I was down in Virginia and it practically leaped into my hands. I’ve never been able to get a copy before.

The VU inflU is strong tonight

Great last set! Love the feelies too!!

Very nice. Thank you, @richard!

The prior band covered this song when I saw them Saturday before last.

When I left there were people arguing on the street about what the instrumental they had heard was. Arguing!

Then I took two friends from out of town to a Wawa.

ohh yeah!!

Mmm Wawa.... I might get some Wawa later

How'd they do at Wawa?

They did great. Touch screen hoagies for all.

Excellent. I've seen west coast friends get confused by Wawa.

😱

The FCC will be after you!!

Evening, the opening of this show of with the little girl is catchy cute!

Hey Ossy, good evening!

be the band

Another thing today that reminded me of Art Brut and that "we formed a band" song. Like

KRAFTWERK ❤️

Damn! Lucky!!

*ask* a member of the band???

so jealous you saw feelies the other week - great that you went! heroes of new jersey!

wow - old home week, so fun!

Jane Weaver in the US?! Details!!!

That was one freewheeling mic break. Let me find the show details.

This is a nice treat

https://www.ticketweb.com/event/jane-weaver-knitting-factory-brooklyn-tickets/11898375?pl=bkf

Yay, Ken Katkin! Can you reveal who the other (early 90s) DJ was?

Which Jon Solomon do I believe?

Knitting Factory on 11/4.

Aw, you deleted

Ha. That's a whole different issue Mary!

Touch screen hoagie hologram dj Jon

JonS olomon

That's what they call me (from now on)!

Hmm. A half-day at work and a trip to Brooklyn? Sounds good to me.

Jon, I missed it, when did you say this performance is from?

Dammit, I did it again.

NICE!

DSM this is The Spinto Band.

Chris, I can. Steve B who was a former tech director. In an unexpected twist he actually knows a regular chatter and showed up last week while I was away!

Later, allow me to explain what is happening with the chat. Because it is good but sure got confusing there for a second...

Yes, I yelped when I saw the Jane Weaver show news. Ok, I think that is everything.

Done and done. Jane Weaver tickets acquired.

Thanks Jon, but was asking When it was, not who

I hope you will all keep your radios on for The Freeform Pathogen at the top of the hour. I actually got to hear the FINAL hour of his show last week for a change as I drove home.

Thanks Jon!

My apologies, @DSM. Another one from the 2009 Membership Drive. Recorded live live not live to tape! No safety net!

I've missed like the last 3 Freeform Pathogens, but all is looking like I will be there tonight!

Timeless jam, here.

I know i saw them at least once... that name is familiar. Maybe at John and Peter's back in the day

DSM, will be good to have you in the fold.

Very enjoyable show once again Jon many thanks, be well everyone!

Always appreciate seeing your initials in this box, DSM.

DJ JonS olomon, many thanks for another excellent show! Biggest cheers and kind regards to you!

Thanks for this show, Jon!

dang! gn

Such feel good music right there. Thanks again for another excellent show Jon. Hope to catch some freeform pathogen as well. Take care all.

Cheers to all the Dears!

Top-notch show. Thank you Jon!

For Sure!

The Dears are cheered.

Needed you all tonight, so thank you for being a part.

Thanksya Jonnnnnnnnnnnnn!

Thanks Jon!

Keep on cookin' everyone 🍲

The fill-in shows were of course great, but we’re glad to have you back on the air!
