There was a cute story about Dirty Water on GBH last week: https://www.wgbh.org/news/local-news/2022/04/14/the-unlikely-story-of-how-dirty-water-became-a-fenway-anthem. I was a fan long before it became a Red Sox thing, just sayin...

Greetings πŸ––,DJ Simon,Sandra La and Racketeers,hope everyone is enjoying this Marathon Monday.
Frank Coleman 9:20:11 AM
How did I miss this Robin Lane song? fucking swesome!
DJ Simon (host) 9:21:07 AM
Nice! Glad you liked it, Frank!
DJ Simon (host) 9:21:21 AM
Happy Marathon Monday, Barry!
Frank Coleman 9:25:38 AM
This Cars song is better than at least half the rest of their catalog.
DJ Simon (host) 9:26:14 AM
Ha, yes - and it wasn't released until 2017.
Frank Coleman 9:26:17 AM
Like the Robin Lane song, I'm sitting here going "had I only known..." ;)
Frank Coleman 9:28:34 AM
Ok, I'm gonna say a few random words: Limbo Race, Tribe, Think Tree, Art Yard, Native Tongue, Young Snakes
DJ Simon (host) 9:32:21 AM
Thanks, Frank - I can get some of those into mix.
Victor Robert Venckus 9:34:19 AM
I have a cd called SHORT MUSIC FOR SHORT PEOPLE 101 Bands playing 30 second songs. Maybe next year make it easy on yourself.
Frank Coleman 9:36:56 AM
SHE'S STILL ALIVE? Wow.
Fred 9:38:16 AM
Yeah, that was a great Radar Love
Frank Coleman 9:38:21 AM
I worked with Jeff & Jane @ Museum School, so yep.
Frank Coleman 9:42:22 AM
Jeff and Jane moved to Northampton. And they were the first band in America to open for The Clash.
Frank Coleman 9:48:52 AM
I just wanna say, even though I'm from the class of '77, I listen to as much new music as possible. There are 10x more bands not than there were then, and a lot of them are GREAT. New Candys, Pom Pom Squad, Chemtrails, Malory, all fantastic. Long live the Z.
Frank Coleman 9:49:15 AM
"bands now" not "bands not"
j. johnson 10:02:40 AM
The people out here are saying this is a f'ing fantastic show today!
j. johnson 10:06:19 AM
HEY! My band played Cantone's
Frank Coleman 10:06:37 AM
Cantone's was THE PLACE.
j. johnson 10:06:49 AM
The Underground too
Frank Coleman 10:07:30 AM
That article broke my heart. Saw The Neighborhoods at Cantone's when Dave Minehan was probably still underage.
Frank Coleman 10:08:59 AM
Not sure when they closed. Cantone's bands: Zodio Doze, Real Kids, Mickey Clean and the Mezz.
Frank Coleman 10:09:38 AM
My roommate/bandmate played sax on the first Stompers single, "Coast to Coast."
j. johnson 10:09:46 AM
Limbo Race
j. johnson 10:13:27 AM
Saw the Lyres at the Underground
j. johnson 10:14:14 AM
and i'm trying to remember - i think i saw the Outlets at Cantone's
Frank Coleman 10:16:17 AM
Yeah, Boston Groupie News is a great resource. Other Cantone's bands: Zoo Types, Vinny, Thrills, Classic Ruins.
Barry Hart 10:17:01 AM
Thank you,James, for the great vanyaland.com article on legendary music venues of the Boston area-so much history that is now hidden from view.
Frank Coleman 10:20:14 AM
This Come song fuckin SMOKES.
j. johnson 10:21:25 AM
oh yeah Turkish Delight! near and dear to my heart...
Frank Coleman 10:22:40 AM
Who's doing the No Wave guitar on that?
DJ Simon (host) 10:24:25 AM
On Turkish Delight - Darryl Blood?
j. johnson 10:24:46 AM
Darryl Blood
Frank Coleman 10:29:00 AM
Thx. Nice work.
j. johnson 10:49:48 AM
i'm guessing the connection is Richie Parsons
j. johnson 10:51:46 AM
Woohoo!
SANDRA ALDRICH 10:51:53 AM
Witty banter Sandra La. Love listening to you.
j. johnson 10:52:29 AM
The other guess I had was Chris Doherty
Frank Coleman 10:52:50 AM
I was going to guess Modern Method Records.
Frank Coleman 10:56:47 AM
Great show today!
j. johnson 10:58:22 AM
I'm overwhelmed with riches! Sadly i have to drop off for a meeting. James can give you my email address...
DJ Simon (host) 11:04:01 AM
Thanks, Frank!
DJ Simon (host) 11:04:20 AM
Have a good meeting, J.
Thomas P. Lally 11:10:15 AM
Best show evah!! Seriously, you hit all the buttons: Frank Rowe, John Felice, Richie Parsons... so many great bands. Really nice having Sandra La back on as co-pilot. Thanks so much for this!!
DJ Simon (host) 11:12:09 AM
Aw, shucks - thanks, Thomas!
bruckner4 11:22:20 AM

Ha - yes, that had to be it!
DJ Simon (host) 11:58:39 AM
