Stoked to get into all sorts of musical splendor on this beautiful tuesday, welcome!

They nalled this. What a band

Josie Records!

So much packed into one LP

Ra! Ra!

Hey DJ Pup

Howdy Howdy

Meters debut is as old as me

I got the email notification for this... Is the record an expensive ship?

Shipping looked like roughly $7 USD on the Bandcamp page

Oh nice, might pick this up then.

Just a 7", though!

Able to kinda spend now, turns out the waiting list for a Honda Civic is 3-4 months, and Mazda seems to just hate the 3 now. Not settling for a Kia/Hyundai so I'll be waiting.

Looks like the 2 pounds sterling digi option for me

I'm ashamed to say I live in Philly and have never seen the Arkestra play

This cut is off the album Sleeping Beauty, whose other two tracks are just as nice

Ars Nova seems to put on a lot of events with them so hopefully I'll see one pop up soon

https://sunrastrut.bandcamp.com/album/sleeping-beauty

The Sun Ra rabbit hole runs deep

Disco Ra is the best Ra

Oooh any specific picks from that era? I'm always looking for more

That's better

Hello!

Heyhey!

I really only know the big three: On Jupiter, Sleeping Beauty, and Lanquidity. Disco 3000 is good, but not quite actually disco

Nice I'm mostly familiar with Lanquidity out of those so I'll have to check out the others, thanks!

Woah meeting of the DJs. Hey Dan and Captain!

It's overturning a garden stone and finding everyone congregating

musical garden

hey TAndy!

Are you implying that the PRB DJs are the eeby deebies under the big rocks in the back yard?

😰

We do provide ear worms

I would be a roly poly

Roly Polys are just smol isopods. The best aquatic animal

Isopods are wonderful, and also incidentally sound like a brand of ear plugs

Some environmental agency posted an underwater photo of them and in the background one was on top the other. Someone commented "So isopods do stack!" Gave me a little laugh

Oh it wasn't an agency it was a Human: https://twitter.com/2Bfreelance/status/1520457405376520192?t=kGtLb6IZJWr-p21-wpoH5g&s=19

They always remind me of Metroid aliens

Ahh another human posting on Twitter

I'm putting together a team to discover the mechanics of the phenomenon of animals choosing to stack upon each other. If we don't win a Nobel Obama Prize then I'll go goblin on the committee

I'm including how frogs will hitch a ride on turts and crocs

Animal stacking hmmm indeed

Creator of we bare bears was smart to include a bear stack in their creation. They might know something we don't.

Ants are probably good at this as well

Oh yeah, some ants form actual megastructures to traverse pits, water, and even form clumps to create enough surface tension to float on water without dying

It wouldn't be exactly "stacking" per se but bees do love to cluster as well

A former job had me play occasional bee-keeper

!!!!! I want that job.

Most challenging day of that was once the queen got out and we had to track her down and get the hive to stop swarming and return to the boxes

Apparently when some bees bump into each other they emit a special sound only bees can hear to alert the crash to the other bees around them.

FenderBEEnder

Fumblebees

Jeez my secluded relaxation spit off the road is blowing up. Bunch of work trucks and two dirt trucks just manifested

Dang! are you going to commit to the spot or seek out a new one?

I think I may exit and go for a walk innawoods so I can have some quick peace. I'm also searching for a Bigfoot stack

I sympathize TAndy, construction everywhere these days, gluck finding a new psot

Another truck! I think they caught onto my Bigfoot Stack scheme

the trucks are stacking too?

Now you're just talking loco!

Yes, but the convenience of stackable trucks would be tremendous

TED Talk about the future of stackable technology

Stacks Industries indoctrinated me in middle school with those speed stack cups

My neighbor had one of the sets with the timer growing up and that was a ton of fun

Waiting for the next Hollywood flick to turn that into an action thing

CGI budget goes to animating elaborate internal monologues

💥

omg I need this legal id

9️⃣0️⃣0️⃣1️⃣

Noyn

shoot me an email and I can send it to ya!

Just break out the DAT recorder and pirate it!

Sent! (^.^)

Oooh that bass is STANKY

Windows down on this one folks

Agh pre order only

Swear this sounds Nintendo-y AF

Not anymore though

That chord progression; thought it was Duke of Prunes.

Hey again DTO!

Hey, all.

Just witnessed three carpenter bees battling for the territory of an old yacht shed. Bee lore continues to surprise me today.

This music may be good bee watching soundtracking

Just as you said that the bee sounds began hahah

Behold,the magical mixing board

Pet Sounds? No. Bee Sounds.

The 1980s pressings of Bee Sounds are the best copies

Illusions, pop

Hmmmm. Debating taking a trip on the Riverline just for the hell of it.

Nope. Forgot my mask, never mind that for today.

Ah yes good on ya for practicing caution

COVID or not I don't wanna catch someone's cold or otherwise mouth particles

This is also true

Thanks for the tunes, enjoy the rest of your show! I need to do a bit more prep

Huh. Apparently Napoleon's older brother came to Trenton and brought a large plot of land in Bordentown on the edge of the river. This sign says it was the country's first "romantic" garden in the French style.

See ya soon Captain!

Thanks for tuning in, good luck!

Here's the full sign if anyone wants to read it: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/467333126255804418/973684781818720336/IMG_20220510_163521.jpg

Hey good afternoon DJ Pup, and TAndy, and Captain

Thats some neat trivia right there Tandy thank you for the share

nice day for a river walk

found the last remaining building from the bonaparte era on the estate

https://th-thumbnailer.cdn-si-edu.com/1mqYxThL7N3bRp4dGGeEr2sNIdw=/fit-in/1072x0/filters:focal(1052x616:1053x617)/https://tf-cmsv2-smithsonianmag-media.s3.amazonaws.com/filer/d1/74/d17430cf-f285-4984-bf7f-06da66b95516/point_breeze_estate_bordentown_nj.jpg

Heya DSM!

I love how blocky it is. Bet the inside is huge

The house was not what I expected it to be lol, hey DSM!

Catching up on the chat. @TAndy, the D&R Greenway bought that Napoleon property and are planning something big.

Oh yeah? Maybe a public museum?

https://drgreenway.org/news/dr-greenway-announces-feature-article-in-the-new-york-times/

Public park + museum. I hope it will be like Duke Farms.

Between that and the acquisition of the former Johnson estate in Hopewell, a lot of public land preserved!

Both good news!

OO good news Jon!! I still need to check out Hopewell sometime

Huh. Despite the rain we received lately the water level here still seems relatively low, judging by the marks.

Hopewell, (used to at least), has a town wide yard sale that (used to at least) be pretty fun

ha, that sounds funky

I think that happened a couple of weeks ago in Lamberton, DSM.

This song is magnificent, DJ Pup.

I'll have to keep that in mind for the future TAndy

Thanks!

I hope to catch a good yard sale soon, its been ages

I went to Columbus last weekend. Disappointed in how little the selections changed over the years.

I've never been out that way

Thanks for the show!

thanks for tuning in :)

Yes thanks DJ Pup, sounded great for the 25 minutes I could catch. Later y'all

Enjoy the rest of the day, and some Desert Cruising!
