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.

Chat is archived.

Mornin' folks. Chat is open!

Hello James and Simon . See the MBTA is back to their shenanigans .

What now?

Heyooo good morning rockers!

Speeds on all tracks now 10 to 25mph max …

djs! -- are you the substitute teacher?

I am indeed. I expect everyone to be on their best behavior.

Good morning

Morning all. FYI, my son the teacher rides the red to blue to get to East Boston. Seems lately I see EZ Pass trips in the Ted Tunnel. Can't imagine why.

Roger that , best behavior . Saginaw , good day sir .

As for the T , they are understaffed . They are short 1,100 bus drivers . Nobody wants to work there .

BPS , allegedly down 700 teachers …

Dash, it seems that no one wants to work at all.

As an electrician by trade I would work for the T but I believe you have to drive a bus just to get your foot in the door . No thanks . Pay isn’t that good , split shifts , verbal abuse on the riff raff bus routes ? I’ll pass .

Seems that way. I know I don't, but I've got no choice.

Morning all!

outside, the trains don't run on time

It’s definitely a staffing issue . FRA is the OSHA of the rail system . Trades are capped on how many hours are worked every 24 hours .

getting around on bicycle has always been faster than taking the T. Including bicycling from Wakefield to Morrissey Boulevard was 20 minutes faster than Orange Line to Red Line.

Mornin roCKers

Living near BC - 10 minute bicycle ride = 50 minutes on the Green Line

Hi folks. I’m on a 12 foot ladder sanding spackle. Rock on hood folks. Miss and lerv ya all

Hello and good morning!

Get a Baker Staging James . Christ …

some rockin' tunage today KOTJ!

Hg, I was awoken by my ear buds in middle of night saying face time with heather grunwald - 2:30 an. Hope it didn’t go thru!

Hello all .

Also not surprised that 2 departments , that have colossal issues ( MBTA , BPS ) . Their superintendents have resigned recently . BPS has had multiple resignations . Just under 200K , great benefits etc and people don’t want either gig . They are a mess .

Keep sanding James , wear the proper respirator too . 😷 . Those Covid masks are not for that type of task . Chop chop 👏 .

Mmm... pizza 🍕 🍕 🍕

Ha! That's funny. I have an android phone, so no face time!

oh wow thx for the mention!

show's up on mixcloud but haven't embedded the tracklist yet so that it tells you what song's playing as you listen.. I'll get that done later today. https://www.mixcloud.com/cape-cod/soundsyrup-march-9-2023/

the irony of Pepper Kings "Zero Commercial Potential" with catchy hooks giving it commercial potential..

Ha – true, Verb.

Televisi Masih Menyala = Television Still On

Next song has best band name of the day (so far).

Loved Evel Knievel . Was the talk of the town ( 5th grade ) when I jumped the dumpster at Lil’ Peach on my Huffy .

snake river next for you, dash!

Neponset River , Muddy River , Chelsea Creek , Jamaica Pond , Houghton’s Pond . You name it Bruckner , I’ll do it . No worries I have good health insurance and my Nana’s Lark Scooter 🛵 .

Strap some Estes model rocket boosters on to that scooter and you're good to go.

Roger that Simon . Estée Lauder Rocket Boosters on me Jean Naté Yellow Scooter 🛵. Looking good , smelling good .

good morning James and all

Good morning,James and fellow Kickers,hope you’re all doing well.Thank you,James,for sharing Naujawanan Baidar and the Jansen-fascinating to hear music from Afghanistan and Indonesia.Thank you as well,DJ Simon,for translating the Jansen song title.Speaking about the poor service on the T,one morning l was riding the 77 bus and l saw one of the pharmacists from my store going by on her inline skates.She wound up outracing the bus and getting to work much sooner than I did.

always a freak scene when the substitute shows up!

😷

Country music here. 🤮

The best Dinosaur tune

Should have had a mask for this gig .

Hüsker Dü too? Its like you are inside my setlist man

Hip will be happy .

Finishing re-reading Bob Mould's bio

How is that, been meaning to pick it up

So this was very fitting

Its great! He's very open about his experiences in music biz

Although I usually hear that Bob is an asshole/old grumpy man

Yeah Bob has seen some shite

Dressing room shjte ?

All kinds of shite, really. He mentions how a gay man in his hometown got killed.

Somewhere in that book

He's from Malone, NYC - apparently not a very progressive place

And yes for Negativland...

Thought there was some vandalism within the band . Dressing room trashing.

Oh - there was! The story about the blue paint.

McGeoch book is my next read .

great set James

fantastic show

Yeah, sweet tunes - always good to hear Minutemen, Du and Negativland. Not familiar with Steve Stain, though.

SST signed a lot of avant artists towards the end of the 80s and not everyone was happy about it...

Rise above! We gonna rise above!

Yes we will

Damn this is a set for the ages! Its already turned all the way up! I can't turn it up any louder!

Reliving my youth…. Thank you.

yeah its a direct feed to my tape and record collection from '86 and up

Awesome! So much goodness

Gen X Freedom Rock! Turn it up man!

RIP Van Conner, RIP Mark

ST in their Stooges phase...

Screaming Trees too. Damn and yes RIP to them both

my band used to cover Bed of Roses back in the day

Trotsky Icepick reminds me of this defunct website that was called Satan Stole My Teddybear

I can’t believe these guys are still around…

Oh - they put out a new EP in 2020

Had no idea

Buffalo Tom sounding quite like Dino Jr

Sunflower Suit? Hell yeah

He produced this album so...

Makes sense!

a Malingerers set staple. James may have seen us cover this with George

El Kabong was the only Z influenced album I ever purchased that I said yuk to.

I got a fever and the only cure is more wah wah

Volcano Suns for the win

Yeah, VC were sounding pretty good.

\m/

Well, that's a nice song title...

*on this day ... March 10, 1990 (Saturday) The Jesus and Mary Chain The Rollercoaster EP (August 1990) *dull/smokey (... short set?!) Opener: Nine Inch Nails 👈👀👍 @ Citi Club, Boston, MA https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-jesus-and-mary-chain/1990/citi-club-boston-ma-2bc2b4be.html

There was a punk band with a song called "Sit on my face, Stevie Nicks"

So this almost sounds like a response

The Rotters

Yup!

Regarding Buffalo Tom: Bill Janovitz has a book coming out. Jon Garelick has an interview with him in The Globe.

#onthisday Cocteau Twins "Four-Calendar Café" Tour (released on 18 October 1993) @ Orpheum Theatre Thursday - 3/10/94 w/ Galaxie 500 (I ... think?) Setlist: Pur / Pitch The Baby / Heaven Or Las Vegas / For Phoebe Still A Baby / Cico Buff / Lorelei / Evangeline / Whales Tails / Carolyn's Fingers / Bluebeard / Summerhead / Iceblink Luck / Blue Bell Knoll / Road, River And Rail / Aikea-Guinea / Ella Megalast Burls Forever / Pink Orange Red

Noice

Is this Hope Sandoval singing?

I'm guessing not - RYM mentions both Sandoval and Kendra Smith being vocalists for Opal

This song would make a good mash up with Sooner or Later.

Mould mentioned this song in his bio and said its probably where Husker Du breakup originated

Hart wanted it for Du album, but Bob shot down the idea arguing it sounds too much like a certain other song

Had to limit myself to background music mode today due to work. Just reading the chat messages now.

Thanks James , Toil tomorrow evening !

Rock on

Good job s always James. Time for all the news that is too good to see print...

Simon 👍🏻

Thank you James. Time Depress me now!

Thanks for another great show of James . Until next week.
