Favoriting November 17, 2019: Keeps them out in front... this Friendly Stimulation


Welcoming 3 Sheena Stream DJs this week on the show. Don-O flashes back to his 14-year old self in music, Georgy Girl slices out a segment of High Waisted Modernists and Jan Turkenburg presents Dutch versions of songs you may know and... love.

Plus, we have Frank M. Young presenting a couple of rockin' numbers and Archivist Viv showcasing the music of Shae Tull.

Top it off with the 3rd installment of SOB's 2005 cross country travelogue adventures by train served with a side of vintage 1986 Subgenius rants delivered by Krys O.

And oh, for dessert, slices of new and old cuts in the usual freezeform mix variety.

I was lucky recently to borrow a photo album from 12 years ago and going to scan those photos in... but wish I had a ton of 80s and 90s photos still.

Geez - Very much so. Just started a food journal and eating even better as of 2 weeks ago. Was dealing with high blood pressure, long story, but still ongoing and listening to my body even moreso than normal. Exercise and sleep as well.

I may have Franco, but can't recall. I was mostly over on Broadway at a club Palladium in 87', right after that it was City Nights. Used to have a spot at a club in Castro Valley that started in '88 called Muggs (headed up a male chip strip show but had to stay behind the dj booth as I was under 21.

Otis, good! I've been lucky to know several,brilliant, funny, passionate people in their nineties who seemed ageless to me. Learned a lot from them, enjoyed their company enormously.
Extraordinary role models.

Hunts was on the corner of 20th and Mission. Open 24hrs and attracted the most insane and potentially dangerous people in the city. Always top shelve entertainment. Chaos and glazed donuts.

Thanks geez, and yes, what's that bit about growing old and knowing next to nothing... well something but always learning more and more in the mind and body.

Yes, these recordings are great. SOB (Diane) is one funny cool gem of a person.

i've been looking forward to my 50s all the way through the awkward and annoying 40s. I saw all my older friends really hitting a peak era in their 50s. Wouldn't go back to any age before my first Saturn return for anything.

Watsonville is the answer! The Mexican food in Santa Cruz left something to be desired in the mid 70's, so we would drive down to Watsonville or Freedom. Less hippies, more Mexicans, no bean sprouts in your burrito!
