Hello, ndbob!
  6:03pm Dean:

All this time I thought Ike was being coy referring to Adam's fore-piece.
Avatar 6:04pm ndbob:

this is great!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:06pm Doug Schulkind:

Just don't speak of Adam's codpiece, Dean. Think of the children.
  6:08pm Dean:

If it's good enough for Gene Simmons and George Bush...no, on second thought, even then it's not right for the kids.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:08pm Parq:

Making a rare Tuesday night appearance. This show is going to be the bomb. There. I said it. Now we can all go on with our lives.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:10pm Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Parq! Glad to have you here in the Tuesday cockpit!
  6:14pm Dean:

My guess for tunes that did NOT make the cut: VH's "Atomic Punk," and Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again."
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:16pm Doug Schulkind:

You guessed right, Deano.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:17pm Gary:

That Mother Eve .... WHAT-lated?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:17pm Parq:

Man, this Sons of the Pioneers track got a lot of FMU airplay in the 80s.
Avatar ♥ 6:18pm Joe McG:

@Parq: I think when "Atomic Cafe" came out, there was a rush on atomic songs! (Hi, Doug!)
Avatar 6:18pm ndbob:

I used to have this 45
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:18pm coelacanth:

howdy Doug and All
  6:18pm Dean:

But maybe The Eyes' "Eniwetok"?
Avatar 6:19pm ndbob:

Speaking of nuclear songs . it amazes me that Wanda Jackson's Fujiyama Mama was big hit in Japan
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:24pm Doug Schulkind:

That's kooky, ndbob.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

The only thing to stop a bad guy with an atom bomb is a good guy with an atom bomb?

[um, no]
  6:33pm Jeff g.:

Greetings from the kitchen! Cookin' with gas, not fission, thankfully.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:35pm Doug Schulkind:

Gas goes boom, too, Jeff G. Be carfeful!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:36pm Parq:

New Yorker cartoon shows President Trump asking his cabinet "Can't we just nuke them and build something fabulous?"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:36pm Doug Schulkind:

@Parq
Please, no obscene language is allowed here. Especially THAT five-letter word.
  6:38pm Dean:

Yeah, fuck T***p!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:39pm Gary:

This track never gets old
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:40pm Parq:

Sorry. President That-Douche-Who-We-All-Hope-Can't-Actualy-Get-Elected.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:40pm Doug Schulkind:

Onyeabor writes on the back of the LP jacket:

"May i seize this opportunity to thank
those who rendered relentless efforts
to make this Album a grand succes."
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:43pm Gary:

I think I saw that collection at Academy maybe
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:44pm holland oats:

drumma! peoples! belated check-in!
  6:44pm jessie:

Mingus sounds amazing on the other side of the planet, and so do you hon!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:45pm Doug Schulkind:

Jessie! Jessie! Jessie! It's 10:45am Wednesday morning where you are, in case you didn't know.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:46pm Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
You must grab it, or have me send it to you. You pick.

Good evening, holland oats!
Avatar 6:47pm Flash Strap:

Showin up late

hi doug and friends!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:48pm Gary:

I don't think it's still there!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:50pm Doug Schulkind:

You're early for Jesse Kaminsky, Flash Strap!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:54pm Doug Schulkind:

I do NOT need an excuse to play this record as often as possible. National Puppy Day? I'll play the record. Arbor Day? It's spinning. Trump's inauguration day? Yup.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:54pm Gary:

Sublimey! This Sun Ra ...
  6:54pm jessie:

Hello from the future. And good news: So far, no new atomic explosions reported.
  6:55pm Dean:

This Sun Ra reminds me of a poster I saw frequently in a head shop in the early '70s: http://www.dpvintageposters.com/cgi-local/detail.cgi?d=2469

Arbor Day. I was in a band that went by that name.
Avatar 6:55pm Flash Strap:

Love this track, Doug. I stand with your stance of playing it for all seasons. it's a motherfucker
Avatar ♥ 6:55pm northguineahills:

Whew! I got here in time for an old time Sun Ra fave!
  6:56pm jessie:

Also has anyone else noticed that they have made the math questions you need to answer to post your comment easier? I feel just a little insulted.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:56pm Doug Schulkind:

Nice poster, Dean!

@Jessie
Remember that checklist you were supposed to go through when receiving a bomb threat at the Dept. of Justice?!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:57pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi there, NGH!
Avatar 6:58pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:58pm Doug Schulkind:

Classic call-and-response.
  6:59pm Dean:

I'll recommend it my kid's choir teacher.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:00pm Atom:

I am your father, Nuke!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:01pm Doug Schulkind:

Thank you all, motherfuckerlovers!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:01pm Doug Schulkind:

[Nice one, Gary.]
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:01pm Gary:

Thanks for the thrills, Senor Schulkind!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:01pm Jeff Golick:

My phone's battery died during Ra, and for a second there I hid under the table. That's entertainment!
