Happy Saturday Night!!!

It's a Commie Rainbow over Bucks County

ooh i'd better run and look out the window

Good evening everyone! No rainbows here, sadly

how was the tornado?

Thanks for the song picks!!

We had a tornado warning Thursday afternoon in our county, but it was about 10 miles north of us and moving northeast. I don't know if there was an actual tornado. Better safe than sorry.

Thank you for playing that George Bush snippet, Commie

i could not BELIEVE THAt

this band sang rtoughly 95% about gwb so it fit

The Carter Family!!

my mom just texted me to say she's glad i played some mom style music

haha

Yay Commie-Mom!

Pre outdoor holiday evening and twilight breeze, all!

lots of fireworks where i am!

my poor dog

Poor doggo

Sorry to hear that Commie! FIreworks are nasty.

could you hear the fireworks in my mic break?

my mic is pretty good at not picking up ambient noise but it was VERY loud

I didn't but I don't have my earbuds in.

This is a good one too!

I did not hear the fireworks on your mike break

C o m m m m m i e e e e e e !

Jimbeauxeauxeauxeaux

hiya jimbo!

Jimmm

Yeoo rob, ossy, richard, bri!

Skipeeeeeeeeee

yippee, skippy

i bet people said that to him a lot

I did not hear the fireworks, just the FU war and what you're all about! Which I wholly concur with!

Hi jimbeaux!

I thought this was X at first.

this???

The Wartburgs piece.

ohhhh ok

i'm a little ahead of you especially if you're listening online

Yea, I am locked into the fiber world for listening.

I can barely get the signal in the University district at PENN.. Argh!

Hello Commie F!

hi bo!

Sorry I'm late to the party ...was thinking Eaton Rifles by The Jam, does that fit?

i love that song but i always interpreted it as being about a school shooting which um

E gads! The call up is brute and sad enough in Europe as it is. Friggin' nonsense.

Oh! Hmm ...I don't think so, more about wealthy elitists sending young boys from economically challenged backgrounds of to fight for (king and country), kind of what still goes on to this day.

oh that is probably right

This song is perfect, thank you!

so it's kind of a more subtle version of "tank"

or "tin soldiers"

Oh wow "One Tin Soldier"! What a Billie Jack throwback! :)

That's a fair comparison.

tin soldiers by stiff little fingers! but i love one tin soldier i will not lie

by coven who earlier put out a black mass on lp

WHOA! THIS song!😲

Thanks for the bits and peaces Commie!

This is such a good one!

Do to Richard lyons!

BEST SCOTTISH BAND EVER!!!😍

And maybe the best Scottish Album ever!👍😊

@richard dito

I prefer my penis cast in vagina's but that's just me. lol

well she did that too

Certianly .:)

but honestly it sounds like it was pretty uncomfortable in many ways for the dudes, and i think that's part of the art

Folks are weird with their stuff, that's for sure.

LOOOOOL, Rofflestomp!

@Commie F. You are familiar with Fanny, (the band) yes?

yep!

i played their song solid gold last month!

Of course ...great article in New York Times today about an upcoming Documentary on them.

Herb Alpert lol. Actually that guy was rather prolific.

he was! him and sergio mendes are the kings of "hey this cover looks interesting... oh"

but honestly i enjoy herb alpert when i hear him so!

So true!

Just that good... :)

I don't know if writers still hot box together, but they sure made music happen back in the day.

Plaster caster! LMAO!

bedazzled is a pretty amazing track.

yeah i vividly remember watching tv in the middle of the night and that movie was on and i was like ?????

specifically the part with dudley moore dressed as a nun jumping on a trampoline

man i forgot how to post pictures in the playlist :(

Copy, paste? Just sayin' :)

i don't think that works

https://www.towleroad.com/2015/01/plastercast/

ah ha

Wow, Chicken Little was right!

The sky B a fallin'!

So good

Motorfuckingcityfive

it's harder than i thought to find pictures of specific plaster casts

Hard is what I would have thought too.

Oh, behave :)

Just sayin' :)

That article is fascinating!

it's amazing!

Belle and Sebastian - Thos Scotts sure know how to hook a tune.

Great songs and show, Commie!!

Thanks Commie...super showwwwwwwwwww

Funny good, thanks Commie!

thanks everyone!

🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆

Okay, that gets a big up! :)

Terrific show Commie Francis!
