Morning peopl

People

time for syrupy sounds!

Hope my 10am Zoom is short so I can hear and not just read what is playing. Thanks for the effort Jeff.

so glad you're here :)

i don’t mind

Thank Pi. I'll post mixcloud after as usual... Hi Jamie! Hi Dash! Greeting Rick!

☘️

cartoons for Peter c?

G’morning. Listening live for a change.

English is very hard

G'mornin Rich! Listening terrestrially i hope.

Yes. Staying on earth for a while, still. No driving last night, so up by 10 instead of noon.

such grrooovvy syrup this morning. I knew you could fit GG in....

they're a band that never fit into our post punk mentality.. yet Eno did..

@Rich where/why are you usually driving late at night?

good morning everyone!

hey Bruce!

Hiya Jeff, et al.

'allo DJS !

DJ Simon , hello .

Lyft driver. I’m retired and need to be productive. Louisville is a late night town with 4:00am bar closing and many night shift workers. Works with my natural instincts as a night owl.

Good morning JeffB...Armando here...lonnnnnnng time listener of the 'Z...happy to be listening to 'Z syrup while doing odds and ends around the house...what a joy to be retired.

Hi PiGuy. Hi DJSimon. Love your (and James's) show yesterday.

Welcome back Jorge. @JeffB, this sounds like Temples, a lot.

Right behind you in the retired life Jorge.. just a few more years.. or more.

@PiGuy yeah it does.. funny 'cause Temples have a new song that I decided NOT to play..

@Richard - damn everyone's retired ! I'm juggling working and doing this ZBC show right now. Hope it's all going well for you.

Master of retrieval that you are, Jeff, I half expected to hear Temples next.

I have a question: is the majority of 'Z listeners retired folk? If so, I wouldn't know what to think...hahaha...is it great?...are the twenty-somethings asleep with their cell phones? opinions.

Favorite Bongos song. Think I saw them on this tour.

@Jorge, I would guess no one listening to this show is under 40.

@Jorge - Sadly twenty somethings aren't conditioned to use terrestrial radio.

kind of why i want students to do shows on ZBC. all early 20's. We may not like what they play. That's OK. WZBC is their station, I get out of their way. WZBC wouldn't exist without them.

that’s what the virus is for ....kill the old and poor

Sooooo...does this mean that the current college generation (at least half born in this century) just ain't hip? Am I, are we, hipper than they are?

new world order

Problem is that they play the same stuff that commercial stations play...it seems to me.

it's a long discussion. in the 80's most people were spoon fed their musical taste by radio. today streaming has broadened their musical palettes exponentially.

The commercial stuff is fine but it's also good to have a forum for completely different programming.

Agree with your statement JeffB.

scared into conformity

@Jorge - Thanks for the earlier comment re: yesterday's show. Had a good time rummaging through the stacks in the Z's library.

historically radio has needed to be mass appeal in order to be financially viable. I think in the coming years we'll get more "completely different programming" as niche stations will remain. FWIW last March KEXP in Seattle was #3 in the ratings. Blowing away the 100kw commercial alternative station in that market.

Wow – that's great (and interesting) about KEXP's ratings.

yeah there's a few other ratings stories. The Current in Minneapolis is beating a lot of mainstream competitors. WMVY on Cape Cod is currently the #1 rated music station (but one of the major groups there isn't subscribing to the ratings soo..

Never seen stations so alternative do so well before. So keep the faith !

Loved the Dirty on Purpose song, not sure I ever heard it played by anyone. Discovered that song on a blog many years ago. Remember those?

the vineyard..wealthy get to listen to what they want

Happy to hear that information JeffB. Also. great selection JeffB.

Uh oh - volume dropped big time!

ok now

all bot... bought

Yeah i messed that up royally sorry. Thought i was monitoring the zbc feed..

Among the young people I drive, many EDM/house music fans, hip-hop and older dark-wave/industrial also popular. I get aspiring rappers play me their stuff, but radio sucks here and people find stuff on Spotify and other streaming apps.

Who can potentially hear? And how can they? Terrestrial and Interrube are diff and can be complementary howevah, you need to implement and program to get the niche, or you can just let tuition talk…

Thanks jeff... thanks for putting up w/ a weirdo like me, New England☘️

Superb Syrup today Jeff, including radio convo in chat

@PMC agree.. carefully. A lot of colleges have sold their stations. Brown's WBRU is now "K-Love". UMass Dartmouth's WUMD is now Rhode Island Public Radio. Want WZBC to stick around !!!

thx Jamie :)

money will walk all over us

Jeff, thanks for making a bitterly cold morning all nice and bright.

retirees what will allow to guarantee your planned retirement?

fairwell

Thanks Jeff

thanks everyone !

Thanks JeffB. Great show, great conversation.
