ZBC Rock

With James

In these confused times isn't it nice to find some relief? Every week, James will try to bring some sense into this crazy world via the radio waves. Look back. Look forward. Seek the truth. Never dull. Always irreverent. Fight the good fight by just sitting back and listening.

Mornin’ y’all

Hello folks. Awkward start this AM but off we go!

Crank, it up

Good morning, James and all

Mornin'!

Delores is back.

Hi DJS and household

Tokyo,🙂

I think the ARK player is stuck, btw

the club is open

mornin' kotj rockers!

Hi James. I'm here to test the K and M keys. kkk mmm tastey!

y'all can try it too

Didja hear about Atwoods?

Sadly the Z PC isn't working. DJS wanna try?

I don't do news. So I miss out on all things newsie

!delores: Ark player is working here with MS Edge in Boston

Very sad… I dunno what’s happening to this town, I heard Toad was closing about a week ago and now Atwoods

Delores...Tokyo....nice

It works! I can type a K without triggering the Ark player.

Not sure why, I’d guess it’s the usual story of condos just consuming all the culture, but maybe someone else knows more?

No worries James, the interruptions are kinda fun 🙂

Good morning James! Checking out the K bug fix too. Wow..well what do you know. Thanks SpinitronVideo!

Toad was one of the few places with no cover ever

That's great! Thanks Tomiitron!

Tom...we have the same mailman. Jim/James

That's right James, he mentioned you. He's a nice guy.

Yes. I guess his sister was a ZJ back in the day

Howdy rockers

Really? I didn't ask about that. He likes our dogs

SpintronVideo- via Mac in cambridge,

Morning KOTJ and the Friday faithful.

I haven't met his. We still see Letter Carrier John around, sometimes at Anchovies

Mac in Cambridge sounds like comfort food

Postal James volunteered. I was wearing my ZBC beanie.

Can't figure out why the Z-PC isn't working.

Hey it's bandcamp friday!

Yeah, I'm slowly making my way through the pile of Bandcamp notifications in my mailbox this morning.

Combining tooth talk and postal carriers. I present my postal carrier. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-Z6Zn_N66To

Morning good people . Pothole duty and James playing the hits ….

Good morning

Hello Saginaw .

i'm gonna be on Thursday. It'll be all Broadway showtunes.

Three hour Peel Session show on Monday, 8-11am. Thanks for the mention!

just kidding

9 to nooon

do have ONE Peel session song planned..

New theme there verb? All show tunes all the time?

Like maurice in northern exposure!

Show Syrup?

!!!

ʇɐ ɯ,ı ǝɹǝɥʍ ɯoɹɟ uʍop ǝpısdn sʞool ƃuıʇıɹʍ ɹnoʎ

@PiGuy just a one time fillin guess spring break = no students around

@ɐılɐɹʇsnɐ ɯoɹɟ ollǝɥ: OK. Funniest handle ever :)

I can't hear the Tik TOk You Tube on computer b/c PC not working probperly

@VerbCrunch, just riffing on possible names of an all show tunes Sound Syrup but sign me up for next Thursday. Hope work doesn't get in the way.

das -bot gebroken ist heir

-bot. Thanks...I didn't buy rekkids but got a haircut. Hope that's ok and the ankle is getting better

Thanks for the Physarum love, James! What a thrill!

i got a haircut too. after being in the house for 4 weeks, my wife had enough.

Yeah I way overdue.

Did I just hear "Girl You Want" in there?

I did .

Good morning,James and fellow Kickers,hope you’re all doing reasonably well.Sorry to hear about the tooth,James,l hope the second root canal goes smoothly.On a lighter note,it was nice to hear that Matt’s father listened to his show.

hello good people

I thought you blocked Rick

Saturday , Sect , pencils , scalding hot bowl of coffee !!

I’m down, I’ve got a whole series of pencils…

All sharpened to a talon point

On average, Spotify pays out $0.003 - $0.005 per stream.

nice to hear from jim.

Wow. re the Spotify stats

Love Rong! It's so right.

I work with the drummer at MIT

good morning all. Late arriving, but Rong is a nice wakeup. Great no wave sound.

Ride the no wave RVH

I am RIDIN’

What song was very racketish

I don't know. My mind is jello today

Yonic South sure love their Helmet and Devo

How interesting

And this sounds like Tom Waits, although I'm sure it isn't him

Beeeef

CB radio!

Love me some Beefheart

Good morning James and peeps. Couldn’t sleep and now there’s no turning back.

Hello Rich

I still haven't watched that Sparks documentary.

thought the singer was a very animated Tom Verlaine at first..

Oh man. It's true Edutainment

hi everyone, late to the party as usual

Yes Crank . Prismacolor , some books / paper , Toil ,

And a scalding bowl of ☕️

Rise of the RADIO robots. They have arrived. Robot DJ tells you what you heard, talks about the band, when they're coming to town, cracks jokes, gives you local news and weather. It's a real service that's now available from a company called Futuri, and apparently it's surprisingly good.

So Max Headroom is real now?

know future

Robot DJs-that sounds a bit scary-imagine calling the radio station wanting to talk to the DJ only to find out that it’s a robot.

Soory folk I can't seem to juggle the show chat today

From work Zoom to Billy Zoom.

Robot DJ can also do LIVE interviews, contests, talk to callers, etc..

Always up for some Killdozer

Female choirs....

Sounding quite like Nick Cave circa Junkyard

"Scam Likely" lol!

X followed by Killdozer...that is sure to get the blood moving!

yep. it's the dawn of DJ-GPT, i'm afraid

slipping into Peter C territory

It's called RadioGPT. Don't think it'll affect stations like ZBC because volunteer DJ's still cost less than robots. https://vimeo.com/801620131

Thank you,James,for playing Rong and My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult.

Cool. I am like a chicken with my head cut off here/hear.

Glad to hear that it probably won’t affect college radio stations,Verb Crunch.

love me some tubes

classic tubes

Totally tubular.

James, RadioGPT would never play DTMT...or any Tubes. you are irreplaceable.

nice

i interviewed the Tubes in the 80's, mentioned I bought "Young and Rich" when I was in High School. Quick response: "Oh that was YOU?" I guess the record was a total stiff.

this sounds familiar...

NEver saw the tubes game show live

good one Verb Crunch. I saw the Tubes a couple of decades ago in a small venue...

These last 2 sound like WBCN in ‘77

Nice. Hi Carbo!!

Fall requests?

.....2x4

Got it

yes yes

not me

oy crap it's true:

https://vanyaland.com/2023/03/01/cambridge-venue-atwoods-tavern-to-close-this-month/

TOAD is closing too?

As I heard...

been missing riding. weather's been so mild

Lots of smaller venues gone. No surprise that bands skip Boston right now...

that article doesn’t say it’s being torn down; says the space will continue. Sounds like the business is going away but someone will continue there?

I hope we see ever-increasing numbers of human cars on the streets.

Mark E Smith saying "Alexa" ? Like Cool Greenhouse?

Sadly Barry it will be electric bikes and scooters. Those who chose to move on their own volition will be seen as annoying relics

no.. "The Mixer" never mind

Hah

A Fine suggestion. Couldn't find b/c although 2 x 4 it was labeled 2 by 4

my audition song, alas

thank you all- enjoy the snow tonight

Audition??

dance

Ohh.....interesting....

Thanks James , see you at Toil . Enjoy the Sun 🌞 folks .

And may I express my weekly gratitude at the humbling every week when we all come together and then put up with me and hear some worndeful tunes

Ja ja

thanky James for another fine show. I’ll have to catch the first half on the archive.

Craztyness here/hear but it all was worked and was worth it.

Looks like no more talk. Fall went long.....

Great tunes doctor

great show!

Well done James
