The Jesus And Mary Chain	Chemical Animal	Glasgow Eyes	Fuzz Club	2024	From Stereogum: "Later this year, the Jesus And Mary Chain, the often-imitated and never-duplicated duo of Scottish brothers Jim and William Reid, will return with their new LP Glasgow Eyes. It’ll be the first Mary Chain album in seven years and their second since reuniting in 2007. We already posted the absolutely sick lead single “jamcod.” [On Jan 18], the band follow[ed] that one with a new jam called “Chemical Animal.” //// Where “jamcod” revived the ferocity of some of the Jesus And Mary Chain’s best songs, “Chemical Animal” shows a different side of the band. It’s a swirling drone that’s simultaneously uneasy and meditative, and the drug-centric lyrics return to a theme that’s been a JAMC constant: “I fill myself with chemicals to hide the dark shit I don’t show.” There’s plenty of guitar on the track, but it’s really more of a sequencer song than a guitar one."	*	0:02:07 (Pop-up)
IDLES	Gift Horse "Gift Horse" by "IDLES"	TANGK	Partisan Records	2024	From Stereogum: "In October, IDLES announced their new album TANGK and shared “Dancer” featuring LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and Nancy Whang. They followed it up with “Grace,” and [Jan 15 they released] “Gift Horse.” //// “Look at us go! Music and movement for you and yours,” bandleader Joe Talbot said in a statement. “Be bold and ride us like the disco donkeys we are.”" Find the eye portion of this here...

Hot Garbage	Blue Cat "Blue Cat" by "Hot Garbage"	Precious Dream	Hot Garbage / Mothland / Exag	2024	Hot Garbage melt into a heavily volatile yet undeniably palatable amalgamation of sonic elements. Calling on the driving rhythms of dark post-punk and motorik krautrock, the Toronto-based outfit seamlessly works shining melodies and swirling textures into deliberate, brooding arrangements. //// Hot Garbage is: Alex Carlevaris, Juliana Carlevaris, Dylan Gamble & Mark Henein. //////// Produced & recorded by Graham Walsh //// Recorded at Palace Sound, Toronto, ON //// Mastered by James Plotkin //// Hot Garbage (Bandcamp)	*	0:10:47 (Pop-up)
The Dandy Warhols (feat Black Francis)	Danzig With Myself	Rockmaker	Sunset Boulevard Records	2024	From "Exclaim!" - "Portland's poutiest band have announced a new album, as the Dandy Warhols have detailed Rockmaker, due out March 15 through Sunset Boulevard Records. They're previewing it with the new single titled "Danzig with Myself," featuring Frank Black of the Pixies. //// As indicated by the title, Rockmaker is said to place an emphasis on heavy guitars. "Sometimes we have a very focused idea of what we want," said frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor in a statement. "It's generally what we want somebody else to make but since they never do, we have to. It has a very specific sound. There aren't a lot of heavy guitar records currently coming out that we like, so that was the impetus for Rockmaker." //// In keeping with Taylor-Taylor's promise of 'heavy raw punk and metal guitar riffs," new single "Danzig with Myself" rides an ultra-fuzzy four-chord progression, with Frank Black (billed here as Black Francis) contributing the distorted surf guitar leads. //// The album was mixed by Jagz Kooner (Primal Scream, Massive Attack) and mastered by Keith Tenniswood (of Two Lone Swordsmen). It includes 2023 single "Summer of Hate." //// To promote the album, the Dandies will tour North America this March, making a stop in Toronto on March 12. //////// The Dandy Warhols 2024 Tour Dates: 03/04 Washington, DC - 9:30 //////// 03/05 Boston, MA - Royale //////// 03/06 Philadelphia, PA - Ardmore //////// 03/07 Hamden, CT - Space Ballroom //////// 03/09 New York, NY - Webster Hall //////// 03/11 Montreal, QC - Le Studio TD //////// 03/12 Toronto, ON - Danforth Music Hall //////// 03/14 Columbus, OH - Newport Music Hall //////// 03/15 Indianapolis, IN - Vogue //////// 03/16 St. Louis, MO - Delmar Hall //////// 03/18 Denver, CO - Gothic Theatre //////// 03/19 Los Angeles, CA - The Fonda	*	0:15:48 (Pop-up)
A Certain Ratio	All Comes Down To This	It All Comes Down To This	Mute	2024	In advance of a 4/19 new ACR album... From Stereogum: "A Certain Ratio have announced a new album, It All Comes Down To This, which was produced by Speedy Wunderground head Dan Carey. It’s the English post-punk veterans’ follow-up to last year’s 1982. “It’s the Ratio removing the safety net,” Jez Kerr shared in a press release. “Every element of everything we’ve done on this album has been a change.” //// Donald Johnson added: “It wasn’t a matter of rubbing everyone else out, it was, ‘let’s find the thing that makes us work. And we know that’s just the three of us being as basic as possible – no frills, no major overdubs. Just visceral and happening in the moment.”	*	0:19:44 (Pop-up)

Yard Act	We Make Hits "We Make Hits" by "Yard Act"	We Make Hits Single	Universal Records	2024	From the highly anticipated and soon to come full length "Where's My Utopia?" Says frontman James Smith "“We Make Hits” started like most Yard Act songs do these days, in Ryan’s spare bedroom. He’d recorded a couple of basslines and I went round to throw some words on top just to see what might happen. I was reflecting on how things had changed so much for us over the last few years when I realised that sat round a laptop trying to make each other laugh, necking black coffee and craning our heads out of the window to smoke cigs every hour or so, all that had really changed within the writing process was that, thanks to my baby, we were at Ryan’s house rather than mine and that Ryan had a place of his own now, which was nice. Despite the outside blowing up, behind closed doors, we were the same, and I’m grateful for that. You can see the cynicism and the silliness on the surface of “We Make Hits” without much effort, but at its core, for me, it’s really an ode to friendship and the unfiltered joy you feel when you’re making music with the people you hold dear in your life. Meanwhile back in the Yardiverse, we’re getting the origin story of the hitmen Dynamite Dave and Dudley Sunglasses. A valid parable about the trappings of late capitalism, and the compromises we have to make to survive sometimes."	*	0:33:22 (Pop-up)
Vaguess	Profit Or Punk? "Profit Or Punk?" by "Vaguess"	Nothings Secreet	Refry Records	2022	California-based songwriter Vinny Vaguess uses his band Vaguess as an outlet for his punchy, keyboard-laced garage punk songs about anxiety, frustration, life, and death, among other topics. His songs are loud, hooky, and straight to the point, rarely lasting more than a minute or two, and sometimes they verge into more melodic power pop territory. As a band, Vaguess has varied from one to four members besides Vinny, but Miles Lutrell of Useless Eaters often drums for the group. Vaguess started in 2007, apparently as a joke, and popped up again in 2012, when the Back Off Warchild EP was released. Vaguess began playing live shows in 2013, and the full-length Drift Brain appeared on Refry Records. Tracks from the group's early tapes were compiled onto the 2015 LP Bodhi Collection, released by Sinderlyn. The 20-minute full-length Guilt Ring followed in 2017.		0:36:24 (Pop-up)
Jack Medley's Secure Men	Math Rock	Secure As Fuck	Blang	2019	Taking the piss? Probably. I love it. They are definitely Secure As Fuck. They are from Brighton, UK. Secure as Fuck was conceived and recorded in the home studio of other Secure Man Dom Keen, and draws on influences as wide- ranging as The Windmill Brixton pub, Fat White Family, Suicide, The Stooges, (they shamelessly just steal the entire vibe of I Want To Be Your Dog on one song) Madonnatron and Chris de Burgh. (they do a cover of Lady in Red and it's quite earnest and great) It’s both a poignant paean to the struggles of a three-day bender and a joyful celebration of all which that entails.		0:38:54 (Pop-up)
Tube Alloys	Apathy "Apathy" by "Tube Alloys"	Magnetic Point	LA VIDA ES UN MUS DISCOS	2023	It's in keeping with a tradition, sure, one pioneered by bands like Wire, Swell Maps and This Heat, who sought to combine the vitality of punk music with an omnivorous ear for the avant-garde. But Tube Alloys honour this tradition with their disinterest in nostalgia and their ability to cast an irreverent eye towards our present and - crucially - our future, rather than endlessly rehashing our past. In short, Tube Alloys are adventurous where many of their contemporaries are content to play it safe. In doing so they tick a lot of boxes for those with open minds and open ears, while simultaneously making sense of the innate contradictions found in any great work of art. Their songs are muscular without being boneheaded, clever without being nerdy. A dry Australian humour is barked with an American sense of self-assuredness. Songs end before you've had a chance to digest their brilliance, or they explode right when you think they've already peaked. And just when you think you're comfortably along for the ride, the songs disappear altogether, and the record's centrepiece abruptly takes shape as an oblique spoken riff on Time. And Time it is, for something a little different. Finally!		0:41:42 (Pop-up)
Mengers	El Camino "El Camino" by "Mengers"	i/o	Devil In The Woods	2022	Parting from the destructive musical freneticism that helped them garner critical acclaim with their previous work, GOLLY, i/O—pronounced “eeh oh”—introduces a new approach to their musical proposal, leading them to reach a whole new artistic level. Their sound remains exciting and energetic, yet a new sense of dynamics, cleaness and melody give us a different side to what we previously knew about Mengers. " Our daily routines have turned incredibly monotonous. It has resulted in a paradoxical situation; we have always sought loneliness and isolation yet we never wanted to lose family and friends or remain in a constant state of vigilance in the face of an uncertain future. It has been both the best and worst time of our lives. Life has become a switch we’re not sure if it’s on or off; perhaps the switch is both on and off at the same time. Life doesn’t deal in absolutes: happiness implies the existence of sadness, and sadness hides happiness in itself. Nothing is unique. ‘i/O’ denounces those preconceptions. We’re in the best worst place in our lives and it’s both shitty and grandiose.”		0:44:13 (Pop-up)
Donzii	Rightway Highway "Rightway Highway" by "Donzii"	Fishbowl	Grey Market Records	2023	Miami’s Donzii is a time-bending, post-punk vision: a unity of go-hard industrial bangers, darkly ambient balladry, and new takes on the funk traditions of No Wave. knowing, all-seeing view over a fictitious society in a sealed off terrarium. In the Donzii-verse, there’s politics, environmental strains, conventions of sexuality to deconstruct, threats of aliens and apocalypse, and all the little people just trying to make it through the day.		0:46:48 (Pop-up)
Fat White Family	Bullet of Dignity	Bullet of Dignity/Religion For One Single	Domino	2024	Fat White Family have announced details of their fourth studio album, ‘Forgiveness Is Yours’, and shared new single ‘Bullet Of Dignity’. Discussing the new album in a statement, frontman Lias Saoudi said that ‘Forgiveness Is Yours’ “is about life as eternal contingency…about no longer suspecting, but knowing that this shit will never get any easier…in fact, it’s about to get a whole lot worse, your body’s going to go into decay and the people you love will slowly start dropping dead around you…but somehow, you’ve smashed enough of your expectations thus far in life, you’re sort of fine with it…you accept it”.	*	0:51:33 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Sam Spence	Water World "Water World" by "Sam Spence"	Fantastic Sounds	Kukuck Schalplatten	1974	Samuel Lloyd Spence (March 29, 1927 – February 6, 2016) was an American soundtrack composer best known for his work with NFL Films. Spence was born in San Francisco and attended the University of Southern California. In 1966, while working as a music instructor in Munich, he was hired to score the mini-documentaries that conveyed National Football League highlights and personalities to fans in the network-television era. His music cues, combined with the voices of announcers Pat Summerall, Tom Brookshier, Charlie Jones, John Facenda and Harry Kalas, created the trademark style of the NFL's sports highlights films.		0:54:37 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Sam Spence	The Big Pa-Poo "The Big Pa-Poo" by "Sam Spence"	Fantastic Sounds	Kuckuck Schallplatten / E.R.P. Musikverlag	1974	Initially, Mahlon Merrick was asked to provide scores for NFL Films. Merrick asked his friend, Spence, to help in the recording sessions. Spence said: "Mahlon had written marches. Toward the end of that recording session, I stuck in a couple of different pieces — my own orchestral compositions with strings and woodwinds, more like a Hollywood film score. It turned out they were Ed Sabol's favorites and he offered me a three-year contract to write, conduct, and produce NFL Films' music."		1:00:53 (Pop-up)
Jane Weaver	Perfect Storm "Perfect Storm" by "Jane Weaver"	Love In Constant Spectacle	Fire Records	2024	First out from the forthcoming April 5 release. --- As per Tom Breihan (as of Jan 16, 2024) via "Stereogum" -- "British singer-songwriter Jane Weaver has been active since the early ’90s, when she led the band Kill Laura, and she’s put out a whole lot of records on her own. Today, she’s announced plans to follow up her 2021 album Flock with a new one called Love In Constant Spectacle, which she recorded with longtime PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish. //// Jane Weaver has a long history of messing around with psychedelic and electronic music, and you can hear some of that at work on “Perfect Storm,” the lead single from Love In Constant Spectacle. The track is built on a gentle motorik groove, which really highlights Weaver’s serene vocals. The track reminds me a bit of Nico, Broadcast, and Melody’s Echo Chamber. Here’s how Weaver describes the new album in a press release: "A lot of the album’s themes stem from interpretation and translation, observations and emotional cues. I love the nuances in translation on foreign film subtitles. Sometimes, it’s exaggerated or more beautiful == stand-alone statements that don’t make sense, but when accompanied by a visual image, we can see the scene play out.""	*	1:03:25 (Pop-up)
Drahla	Default Parody "Default Parody" by "Drahla"	angeltape	Captured Tracks	2024	From "Ourculture" --- "Leeds-based art-rock band Drahla have announced the follow-up to their 2019 debut, Useless Coordinates. It’s called angeltape, and it lands April 5 via Captured Tracks. //////// Drahla – vocalist and guitarist Luciel Brown, guitarist Ewan Barr, bassist Rob Riggs, and drummer Mike Ainsley – recorded the new LP with Matthew Benn and Jamie Lockhart in 2023. “There was an uncertainty and anxiety in not knowing how to rekindle what we had, and what we did have just didn’t exist in the same format,” Brown reflected in a statement. “I feel this is apparent in the music; the constant changes, opposing ideas and structures, the overall energy and drive of the songs. I think there’s also the sense of reconnection, encouragement and freedom, too. There’s excitement borne from us finding something together again.” //////// Commenting on the new single, Brown said: “It’s controlled chaos, lots of different ideas that resolve at some strange harmony. It was the first realisation of writing something from start to finish with the addition of Ewan on guitar so there’s more freedom of interplay and from our previous roles in the band. Lyrically it’s taken inspiration from Shakespeare’s ‘to be or not to be’. It’s navigating loss of life and life with loss. ‘To be, I see, what is, to be’ it’s a one-way deconstructed conversation with yourself. The video was created at home by us with the assistance of my brother George Brown.”" //////// Official video for “Default Parody” by Drahla //// Created by Drahla. //// Produced and Edited by Luciel Brown and Rob Riggs //// Hair and Make up by George Brown //// Follow Drahla: Instagram: / instantdrahla Facebook: / drahlamusic Bandcamp: https://drahla.bandcamp.com/	*	1:06:22 (Pop-up)

Says "Consequence Of Sound" -- "Squid Share New Single “Fugue (Bin Song)”: Stream //// An outtake from their recent album O Monolith //// "Squid have shared a new single called “Fugue (Bin Song),” an outtake from the sessions of their recent sophomore album O Monolith. //// After implementing it into their live performances over the past few years, Squid recorded “Fugue (Bin Song)” in spring 2022 as they were making O Monolith alongside their longtime collaborator Dan Carey at Peter Gabriel’s Real World studio. After its initial iteration didn’t make the cut on the record, Tortoise’s John McEntire re-mixed and edited the tune in late 2023, resulting in the version we hear today. //// At nearly five and a half minutes, “Fugue” is a wandering jam that draws from elements of dance punk, post rock, and noise pop. You can hear a bit of McEntire’s influence as the song culminates into a furious coda, almost like “TNT” with a lot more shredding." ///// Tour dates, all * = w/ Water From Your Eyes //////// 02/02 – Austin, TX @ The Parish * //////// 02/03 – Dallas, TX @ Dada * //////// 02/05 – Nashville, TN @ Basement East * //////// 02/06 – Atlanta, GA @ Terminal West * //////// 02/08 – Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club * //////// 02/09 – Philadelphia, PA @ Union Transfer * //////// 02/10 – Brooklyn, NY @ Brooklyn Steel * //////// 02/14 – Boston, MA @ Paradise Rock Club * //////// 02/15 – Montreal, QC @ SAT * //////// 02/16 – Toronto, ON @ Phoenix Concert Theatre * //////// 02/18 – Chicago, IL @ Thalia Hall * //////// 02/19 – Minneapolis, MN @ Fine Line * //////// 02/23 – Portland, OR @ Revolution Hall * //////// 02/24 – Vancouver, BC @ Rickshaw Theatre * //////// 02/25 – Seattle, WA @ The Crocodile * //////// 02/27 – San Francisco, CA @ Regency Ballroom * //////// 02/29 – Santa Ana, CA @ The Observatory * //////// 03/01 – Los Angeles, CA @ The Belasco *	*	1:14:11 (Pop-up)

Howard notably covered with Lydia Lynch, and “Hey! Little Child” written by Alex Chilton. //////// The band consisted of Australian-born Rowland S.

Vum	This Is The Witch "This Is The Witch" by "Vum"	Cryptocrystalline	Secret Lodge Recordings	2016	Vum hail from Topanga Canyon, California and I envision red rocks and flickering horizons distorted by heat waves. Cryptocrystalline creates something of an open (yet somehow shrouded in a clandestine veil like a secret society in congress) meeting between the outside and inside worlds. Jennifer and Christopher continue to create melodic mood progressions that respond as thoughts, feelings, and perceptions to the events of the environment-punctuated by the pulse of Scott’s percussive engineering. Cryptocrystalline is the VUM album you have waited years for. Jennifer, Christopher, & Scott take you to their Secret Lodge lair from the deep within the basins & bungalows of Topanga Canyon.”		1:33:43 (Pop-up)
The Soft Moon	Far "Far" by "The Soft Moon"	Deeper	Captured Tracks	2015	Jose Luis Vasquez, known professionally as the Soft Moon, was an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and composer.

Hyperlink Dream Sync	Unseen "Unseen" by "Hyperlink Dream Sync"	Unseen Single	Fonolith	2024	The 90s trip-hop-inspired “Unseen” is the latest single from Hyperlink Dream Sync, the electronic trio of Neil Scrivin, Eric Sferro and Juno-nominated Hayley Stewart aka Mecha Maiko The electronic group brings together their love for nostalgic sounds from video game scores and downtempo pop from the 90s-00s with Scrivin and Sferro on production and Stewart on vocals. “Unseen” is an evolution of the song “Carrington Institute” from Hyperlink Dream Sync’s eponymous album, which was produced before Stewart’s arrival. “Eric (Sferro) got in touch about doing vocals for his and Neil’s project, and I immediately fell in love with their album,” Stewart said. “After recording a quick vocal idea for Carrington Institute, they invited me to join the band and we’ve been furiously writing music together ever since.” “Unseen” conjures images of technology infrastructure hidden in the landscape, with high-frequency trading towers serving as one of the muses for Stewart’s lyrics. After all, the internet is a key element in HDS’s work - the band works remotely since Scrivin, Sferro and Stewart live in the UK, US, and Canada, respectively.	*	1:39:26 (Pop-up)

Since releasing their 3rd album 'Old Habits & New Ways' earlier this year, the band toured Europe in April and blew crowds away with their explosive blend of 60s psychedelic garage rock. They seem to work in fits and starts and have been on again off again since 2019...let's hope there's more to come from this excellent Australian band!		1:47:25 (Pop-up)

They have lauded some of his compositions as "cool homage[s]",while describing others as "barely disguised" "knock-offs".		1:55:32 (Pop-up)
The Shangri-Las	Dressed in Black "Dressed in Black" by "The Shangri-Las"	He Cried/Dressing Black 7"	Redbird	1966	Ahh the Shangri-Las..the girl band for the bad girls...loving too hard, too young, and too fast. Last week we said goodbye to none other than Mary Weiss, lead singer for the band. After the Shangri-Las, Weiss took a job as a purchasing agent in New York City in Manhattan. She recalled in a 2007 interview, "I went to work for an architectural firm, and I was seriously into it. Then I got into commercial interiors, huge projects, buildings."She later became the chief purchasing agent and ran the commercial furniture dealership. In the late 1980s, she managed a furniture store and was an interior designer. By 2001, she was a furniture consultant to New York businesses. There were several returns to music, most notably in March 2007 when Norton Records released Dangerous Game, a critically acclaimed album on which she was backed by The Reigning Sound. Weiss died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at her home in Palm Springs, California, on January 19, 2024, at the age of 75		1:57:28 (Pop-up)

	🏝 ♥ 8:36pm Derek Westerholm: Hello coelacanth∅!
	8:36pm Robm: ↳ coelacanth∅ @8:31 howdy coelacanth
	🏝 ♥ 8:36pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Robm @8:35 Cyclone?
	8:36pm laurapanic: ↳ Robm @8:35 no, we are in the southern half, no cyclones for us ever. Northern states get them. Think Florida I guess
	♥ 8:36pm DJ Babs: Heyoo coelacanth!
	♥ 8:37pm DJ Babs: And Laura!
	8:37pm Robm: ↳ laurapanic @8:36 after living in florida i had plenty of experience with hurricanes @Derek it’s their version of a hurricane
	♥ 8:39pm DJ Babs: Do cyclones rock as hard as hurricanes?
	🏝 ♥ 8:39pm Derek Westerholm: Phew! Relieved all of us on the beach are cyclone/hurricane free presently...
	♥ 8:40pm DJ Babs: I am sorry that was a horrible joke.

	♥ 8:42pm DJ Babs: This song wins my award as the one that made me laugh the most. I love the idea of a song about a guy who just wants to play with Sleaford Mods and writes a song called math rock just yelling out numbers.
	🏝 ♥ 8:42pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Math Rock" by "Jack Medley's Secure Men" This is my favourite kind of math rock song...
	🏝 ♥ 8:43pm ultradamno: There's never enough geometry in math rock
	♥ 8:43pm DJ Babs: Also I’m wondering if they are somehow friends with Saul from Fat White Family because his band was called insecure men lol
	8:44pm laurapanic: today is our weird national public holiday Australia Day. And like most colonial places, its hot debate between racists and normal people. Anyhow day off work...

	8:45pm Robm: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:41 sounds like a bitch snd FWIW happy australia day
	🏝 ♥ 8:47pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @8:44 She's not mate. We are still FB friends, it was over 30 years ago & a very exciting a passionate 6 months together.
	🏝 ♥ 8:47pm ultradamno: It's every day here as long as the guy who questions the birthright of every person with a complexion darker than paste is running for president
	♥ 8:47pm DJ Babs: Lol I'm ok with being named after a hurricane but only if it doesn't hit landfall and hurt ppl...just wanders around aimlessly around the oceans until its rage peters out....
	🏝 ♥ 8:48pm Derek Westerholm: I've never really understood investing heavily in National Pride... Loving your surroundings and feeling attached to the land, that I get... Honouring your history, that I get... But identifying with a Country name & a flag... I've just never understood it... Not when I was a kid, not now... I "get" it, but I don't care.
	♥ 8:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:47 yeah man shit is getting real..that's for sure.
	♥ 8:48pm DJ Babs: I agree Derek. I wish national pride would be like, just honouring the land and nature that we have the privilege of living on.
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Babs: There's definitely rough times ahead...thank goodness we have places like this to find a few hours of refuge...
	8:49pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @8:47 not going to mention the orange jerk, but glad i have this station to fall back to instead of doom scrolling all day
	🏝 ♥ 8:50pm Scott_Oz: Invasion Day ain't my celebration. Always Was Always Will Be Aboriginal Land. ✊😎🖤💛❤️
	🏝 ♥ 8:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Robm @8:49 Scroll to non-doom any way you can!
	8:52pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:49 yeah babs and people on the accu to chat with i agree scott, not a big nationalist myself @derek give me the BBC anytime
	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Rightway Highway" by "Donzii" This is a fun one, too! Loving Babs' surprises! Quite often we have no idea what each other is going to play, even if we've agreed on a theme...
	🏝 ♥ 8:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Robm @8:52 BBC is fantastic, f'sure!
	♥ 8:55pm DJ Babs: GODDAMN FAT WHITE FAMILY ALWAYS DELIVERING

	🏝 ♥ 8:59pm northguineahills: ok, back at my friend's. thanks babs and derek ( i was talking to supajen)
	9:01pm laurapanic: ↳ Robm @8:57 Conversations is a bit of an institution here. Yes, the interviews are terrific. The older ones with original host Richard Fidler are amazing

	9:03pm Robm: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:01 i think so
	9:04pm Robm: ↳ laurapanic @9:01 i know i listen to the podcast when i miss the show
	🏝 ♥ 9:05pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @9:02 Ahh, Are we talking ABC Radio, not TV.
	9:06pm laurapanic: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:05 aaahhh, yes
	🏝 ♥ 9:06pm ultradamno: Displaced Australians in NYC Pyrex made one of my favorites of the last year...not to be confused with the Australian pop band called Pyrex totalpunkrecords.bandcamp.com...
	🏝 ♥ 9:07pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:06 That -does- sound possibly a little confusion-worthy...
	♥ 9:07pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @8:59 Say hi to Jen for us!
	🏝 ♥ 9:08pm ultradamno: Apparently the food container company is not terribly litigious
	9:10pm Robm: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:05 sorry scott should have been more clear
	9:11pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @9:06 I have had pyrex confusion for sure. But yes NYC is preferable
	♥ 9:13pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:08 Unlike the Kleenex ppl!
	🏝 ♥ 9:14pm ultradamno: ...not to mention the Salvation Army (how we got The Three O'Clocks) and, of course Red Cross
	9:15pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @9:13 yeh that was so dumb but ok
	🏝 ♥ 9:16pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:13 My english language Kleenex/Liliput book is on it's way from St Louis as we speak!
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm ultradamno: So I was just listening to the Kill Rock Stars collection to prime myself the other day.
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm Derek Westerholm: Ha, I was typing out a Kleenex/Lilliput comment in response to litigiousness, too, but then abandoned it distractedly, haha...
	🏝 ♥ 9:18pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Squid" by "Fugue (Bin Song)" Apparently Squids were going to sue Squid... But then they realised they wouldn't be able to do much w/ human money anyway...
	🏝 ♥ 9:18pm ultradamno: Oh, and while not a band name, kind of the gold standard goes to Carbona
	🏝 ♥ 9:19pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Robm @9:10 You're right mate. I reread ya comment & you said "listening". So my error.
	9:19pm laurapanic: listened to the Fall "room to live" in the car on the way to the beach today. All because of this beach .
	🏝 ♥ 9:19pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:18 Was that one of the reasons Ramones' "Carbona, Not Glue" got kinda rare?
	🏝 ♥ 9:20pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:19 One of the Fall albums that split fans... I, of course, am pro-Room To Live...
	9:20pm Robm: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:19 sometimes i have to reread a comment before i respond scott no biggie
	🏝 ♥ 9:21pm ultradamno: Yeah, it was pulled off records for years. I don't know if they gave up or made a deal (the company does still exist), but once Rhino started reissuing them the song came back...

	🏝 ♥ 9:27pm ultradamno: Paul Hanley's been writing about Buzzcocks lately www.route-online.com...

	♥ 9:44pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:43 and also possibly the guy from Pawn Stars? Did they say what he died of?
	🏝 ♥ 9:44pm ultradamno: (I don't think anyone's said fentanyl, but both dying of overdoses simultaneously is either that or suicide pact)
	♥ 9:46pm DJ Babs: yeesh.
	9:46pm Bob Barth: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:41 OK... here's a hint... A Musical Adaptation of a film that put Julia Roberts on the map featuring hits from the 80's & 90s! Cheesy goodness abounds!
	🏝 ♥ 9:46pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:44 Yep, fentanyl news.yahoo.com...

	🏝 ♥ 10:01pm ultradamno: I've always posited that the girl in Out In The Streets got her boyfriend domesticated and then realized she had a ticking time bomb on her hands, him being around without a release valve, and was trying to come up with a way to get him to leave her.

Music behind DJ: Sounds of the Ocean	Beach Sounds "Beach Sounds" by "Sounds of the Ocean"	Ocean Sounds	Sounds Of The Ocean	2016			0:00:00 (Pop-up)
The Jesus And Mary Chain	Chemical Animal	Glasgow Eyes	Fuzz Club	2024	From Stereogum: "Later this year, the Jesus And Mary Chain, the often-imitated and never-duplicated duo of Scottish brothers Jim and William Reid, will return with their new LP Glasgow Eyes. It’ll be the first Mary Chain album in seven years and their second since reuniting in 2007. We already posted the absolutely sick lead single “jamcod.” [On Jan 18], the band follow[ed] that one with a new jam called “Chemical Animal.” //// Where “jamcod” revived the ferocity of some of the Jesus And Mary Chain’s best songs, “Chemical Animal” shows a different side of the band. It’s a swirling drone that’s simultaneously uneasy and meditative, and the drug-centric lyrics return to a theme that’s been a JAMC constant: “I fill myself with chemicals to hide the dark shit I don’t show.” There’s plenty of guitar on the track, but it’s really more of a sequencer song than a guitar one."	*	0:02:07 (Pop-up)
IDLES	Gift Horse "Gift Horse" by "IDLES"	TANGK	Partisan Records	2024	From Stereogum: "In October, IDLES announced their new album TANGK and shared “Dancer” featuring LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and Nancy Whang. They followed it up with “Grace,” and [Jan 15 they released] “Gift Horse.” //// “Look at us go! Music and movement for you and yours,” bandleader Joe Talbot said in a statement. “Be bold and ride us like the disco donkeys we are.”" Find the eye portion of this here...

Hot Garbage	Blue Cat "Blue Cat" by "Hot Garbage"	Precious Dream	Hot Garbage / Mothland / Exag	2024	Hot Garbage melt into a heavily volatile yet undeniably palatable amalgamation of sonic elements. Calling on the driving rhythms of dark post-punk and motorik krautrock, the Toronto-based outfit seamlessly works shining melodies and swirling textures into deliberate, brooding arrangements. //// Hot Garbage is: Alex Carlevaris, Juliana Carlevaris, Dylan Gamble & Mark Henein. //////// Produced & recorded by Graham Walsh //// Recorded at Palace Sound, Toronto, ON //// Mastered by James Plotkin //// Hot Garbage (Bandcamp)	*	0:10:47 (Pop-up)
The Dandy Warhols (feat Black Francis)	Danzig With Myself	Rockmaker	Sunset Boulevard Records	2024	From "Exclaim!" - "Portland's poutiest band have announced a new album, as the Dandy Warhols have detailed Rockmaker, due out March 15 through Sunset Boulevard Records. They're previewing it with the new single titled "Danzig with Myself," featuring Frank Black of the Pixies. //// As indicated by the title, Rockmaker is said to place an emphasis on heavy guitars. "Sometimes we have a very focused idea of what we want," said frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor in a statement. "It's generally what we want somebody else to make but since they never do, we have to. It has a very specific sound. There aren't a lot of heavy guitar records currently coming out that we like, so that was the impetus for Rockmaker." //// In keeping with Taylor-Taylor's promise of 'heavy raw punk and metal guitar riffs," new single "Danzig with Myself" rides an ultra-fuzzy four-chord progression, with Frank Black (billed here as Black Francis) contributing the distorted surf guitar leads. //// The album was mixed by Jagz Kooner (Primal Scream, Massive Attack) and mastered by Keith Tenniswood (of Two Lone Swordsmen). It includes 2023 single "Summer of Hate." //// To promote the album, the Dandies will tour North America this March, making a stop in Toronto on March 12. //////// The Dandy Warhols 2024 Tour Dates: 03/04 Washington, DC - 9:30 //////// 03/05 Boston, MA - Royale //////// 03/06 Philadelphia, PA - Ardmore //////// 03/07 Hamden, CT - Space Ballroom //////// 03/09 New York, NY - Webster Hall //////// 03/11 Montreal, QC - Le Studio TD //////// 03/12 Toronto, ON - Danforth Music Hall //////// 03/14 Columbus, OH - Newport Music Hall //////// 03/15 Indianapolis, IN - Vogue //////// 03/16 St. Louis, MO - Delmar Hall //////// 03/18 Denver, CO - Gothic Theatre //////// 03/19 Los Angeles, CA - The Fonda	*	0:15:48 (Pop-up)
A Certain Ratio	All Comes Down To This	It All Comes Down To This	Mute	2024	In advance of a 4/19 new ACR album... From Stereogum: "A Certain Ratio have announced a new album, It All Comes Down To This, which was produced by Speedy Wunderground head Dan Carey. It’s the English post-punk veterans’ follow-up to last year’s 1982. “It’s the Ratio removing the safety net,” Jez Kerr shared in a press release. “Every element of everything we’ve done on this album has been a change.” //// Donald Johnson added: “It wasn’t a matter of rubbing everyone else out, it was, ‘let’s find the thing that makes us work. And we know that’s just the three of us being as basic as possible – no frills, no major overdubs. Just visceral and happening in the moment.”	*	0:19:44 (Pop-up)

Yard Act	We Make Hits "We Make Hits" by "Yard Act"	We Make Hits Single	Universal Records	2024	From the highly anticipated and soon to come full length "Where's My Utopia?" Says frontman James Smith "“We Make Hits” started like most Yard Act songs do these days, in Ryan’s spare bedroom. He’d recorded a couple of basslines and I went round to throw some words on top just to see what might happen. I was reflecting on how things had changed so much for us over the last few years when I realised that sat round a laptop trying to make each other laugh, necking black coffee and craning our heads out of the window to smoke cigs every hour or so, all that had really changed within the writing process was that, thanks to my baby, we were at Ryan’s house rather than mine and that Ryan had a place of his own now, which was nice. Despite the outside blowing up, behind closed doors, we were the same, and I’m grateful for that. You can see the cynicism and the silliness on the surface of “We Make Hits” without much effort, but at its core, for me, it’s really an ode to friendship and the unfiltered joy you feel when you’re making music with the people you hold dear in your life. Meanwhile back in the Yardiverse, we’re getting the origin story of the hitmen Dynamite Dave and Dudley Sunglasses. A valid parable about the trappings of late capitalism, and the compromises we have to make to survive sometimes."	*	0:33:22 (Pop-up)
Vaguess	Profit Or Punk? "Profit Or Punk?" by "Vaguess"	Nothings Secreet	Refry Records	2022	California-based songwriter Vinny Vaguess uses his band Vaguess as an outlet for his punchy, keyboard-laced garage punk songs about anxiety, frustration, life, and death, among other topics. His songs are loud, hooky, and straight to the point, rarely lasting more than a minute or two, and sometimes they verge into more melodic power pop territory. As a band, Vaguess has varied from one to four members besides Vinny, but Miles Lutrell of Useless Eaters often drums for the group. Vaguess started in 2007, apparently as a joke, and popped up again in 2012, when the Back Off Warchild EP was released. Vaguess began playing live shows in 2013, and the full-length Drift Brain appeared on Refry Records. Tracks from the group's early tapes were compiled onto the 2015 LP Bodhi Collection, released by Sinderlyn. The 20-minute full-length Guilt Ring followed in 2017.		0:36:24 (Pop-up)
Jack Medley's Secure Men	Math Rock	Secure As Fuck	Blang	2019	Taking the piss? Probably. I love it. They are definitely Secure As Fuck. They are from Brighton, UK. Secure as Fuck was conceived and recorded in the home studio of other Secure Man Dom Keen, and draws on influences as wide- ranging as The Windmill Brixton pub, Fat White Family, Suicide, The Stooges, (they shamelessly just steal the entire vibe of I Want To Be Your Dog on one song) Madonnatron and Chris de Burgh. (they do a cover of Lady in Red and it's quite earnest and great) It’s both a poignant paean to the struggles of a three-day bender and a joyful celebration of all which that entails.		0:38:54 (Pop-up)
Tube Alloys	Apathy "Apathy" by "Tube Alloys"	Magnetic Point	LA VIDA ES UN MUS DISCOS	2023	It's in keeping with a tradition, sure, one pioneered by bands like Wire, Swell Maps and This Heat, who sought to combine the vitality of punk music with an omnivorous ear for the avant-garde. But Tube Alloys honour this tradition with their disinterest in nostalgia and their ability to cast an irreverent eye towards our present and - crucially - our future, rather than endlessly rehashing our past. In short, Tube Alloys are adventurous where many of their contemporaries are content to play it safe. In doing so they tick a lot of boxes for those with open minds and open ears, while simultaneously making sense of the innate contradictions found in any great work of art. Their songs are muscular without being boneheaded, clever without being nerdy. A dry Australian humour is barked with an American sense of self-assuredness. Songs end before you've had a chance to digest their brilliance, or they explode right when you think they've already peaked. And just when you think you're comfortably along for the ride, the songs disappear altogether, and the record's centrepiece abruptly takes shape as an oblique spoken riff on Time. And Time it is, for something a little different. Finally!		0:41:42 (Pop-up)
Mengers	El Camino "El Camino" by "Mengers"	i/o	Devil In The Woods	2022	Parting from the destructive musical freneticism that helped them garner critical acclaim with their previous work, GOLLY, i/O—pronounced “eeh oh”—introduces a new approach to their musical proposal, leading them to reach a whole new artistic level. Their sound remains exciting and energetic, yet a new sense of dynamics, cleaness and melody give us a different side to what we previously knew about Mengers. " Our daily routines have turned incredibly monotonous. It has resulted in a paradoxical situation; we have always sought loneliness and isolation yet we never wanted to lose family and friends or remain in a constant state of vigilance in the face of an uncertain future. It has been both the best and worst time of our lives. Life has become a switch we’re not sure if it’s on or off; perhaps the switch is both on and off at the same time. Life doesn’t deal in absolutes: happiness implies the existence of sadness, and sadness hides happiness in itself. Nothing is unique. ‘i/O’ denounces those preconceptions. We’re in the best worst place in our lives and it’s both shitty and grandiose.”		0:44:13 (Pop-up)
Donzii	Rightway Highway "Rightway Highway" by "Donzii"	Fishbowl	Grey Market Records	2023	Miami’s Donzii is a time-bending, post-punk vision: a unity of go-hard industrial bangers, darkly ambient balladry, and new takes on the funk traditions of No Wave. knowing, all-seeing view over a fictitious society in a sealed off terrarium. In the Donzii-verse, there’s politics, environmental strains, conventions of sexuality to deconstruct, threats of aliens and apocalypse, and all the little people just trying to make it through the day.		0:46:48 (Pop-up)
Fat White Family	Bullet of Dignity	Bullet of Dignity/Religion For One Single	Domino	2024	Fat White Family have announced details of their fourth studio album, ‘Forgiveness Is Yours’, and shared new single ‘Bullet Of Dignity’. Discussing the new album in a statement, frontman Lias Saoudi said that ‘Forgiveness Is Yours’ “is about life as eternal contingency…about no longer suspecting, but knowing that this shit will never get any easier…in fact, it’s about to get a whole lot worse, your body’s going to go into decay and the people you love will slowly start dropping dead around you…but somehow, you’ve smashed enough of your expectations thus far in life, you’re sort of fine with it…you accept it”.	*	0:51:33 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Sam Spence	Water World "Water World" by "Sam Spence"	Fantastic Sounds	Kukuck Schalplatten	1974	Samuel Lloyd Spence (March 29, 1927 – February 6, 2016) was an American soundtrack composer best known for his work with NFL Films. Spence was born in San Francisco and attended the University of Southern California. In 1966, while working as a music instructor in Munich, he was hired to score the mini-documentaries that conveyed National Football League highlights and personalities to fans in the network-television era. His music cues, combined with the voices of announcers Pat Summerall, Tom Brookshier, Charlie Jones, John Facenda and Harry Kalas, created the trademark style of the NFL's sports highlights films.		0:54:37 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Sam Spence	The Big Pa-Poo "The Big Pa-Poo" by "Sam Spence"	Fantastic Sounds	Kuckuck Schallplatten / E.R.P. Musikverlag	1974	Initially, Mahlon Merrick was asked to provide scores for NFL Films. Merrick asked his friend, Spence, to help in the recording sessions. Spence said: "Mahlon had written marches. Toward the end of that recording session, I stuck in a couple of different pieces — my own orchestral compositions with strings and woodwinds, more like a Hollywood film score. It turned out they were Ed Sabol's favorites and he offered me a three-year contract to write, conduct, and produce NFL Films' music."		1:00:53 (Pop-up)
Jane Weaver	Perfect Storm "Perfect Storm" by "Jane Weaver"	Love In Constant Spectacle	Fire Records	2024	First out from the forthcoming April 5 release. --- As per Tom Breihan (as of Jan 16, 2024) via "Stereogum" -- "British singer-songwriter Jane Weaver has been active since the early ’90s, when she led the band Kill Laura, and she’s put out a whole lot of records on her own. Today, she’s announced plans to follow up her 2021 album Flock with a new one called Love In Constant Spectacle, which she recorded with longtime PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish. //// Jane Weaver has a long history of messing around with psychedelic and electronic music, and you can hear some of that at work on “Perfect Storm,” the lead single from Love In Constant Spectacle. The track is built on a gentle motorik groove, which really highlights Weaver’s serene vocals. The track reminds me a bit of Nico, Broadcast, and Melody’s Echo Chamber. Here’s how Weaver describes the new album in a press release: "A lot of the album’s themes stem from interpretation and translation, observations and emotional cues. I love the nuances in translation on foreign film subtitles. Sometimes, it’s exaggerated or more beautiful == stand-alone statements that don’t make sense, but when accompanied by a visual image, we can see the scene play out.""	*	1:03:25 (Pop-up)
Drahla	Default Parody "Default Parody" by "Drahla"	angeltape	Captured Tracks	2024	From "Ourculture" --- "Leeds-based art-rock band Drahla have announced the follow-up to their 2019 debut, Useless Coordinates. It’s called angeltape, and it lands April 5 via Captured Tracks. //////// Drahla – vocalist and guitarist Luciel Brown, guitarist Ewan Barr, bassist Rob Riggs, and drummer Mike Ainsley – recorded the new LP with Matthew Benn and Jamie Lockhart in 2023. “There was an uncertainty and anxiety in not knowing how to rekindle what we had, and what we did have just didn’t exist in the same format,” Brown reflected in a statement. “I feel this is apparent in the music; the constant changes, opposing ideas and structures, the overall energy and drive of the songs. I think there’s also the sense of reconnection, encouragement and freedom, too. There’s excitement borne from us finding something together again.” //////// Commenting on the new single, Brown said: “It’s controlled chaos, lots of different ideas that resolve at some strange harmony. It was the first realisation of writing something from start to finish with the addition of Ewan on guitar so there’s more freedom of interplay and from our previous roles in the band. Lyrically it’s taken inspiration from Shakespeare’s ‘to be or not to be’. It’s navigating loss of life and life with loss. ‘To be, I see, what is, to be’ it’s a one-way deconstructed conversation with yourself. The video was created at home by us with the assistance of my brother George Brown.”" //////// Official video for “Default Parody” by Drahla //// Created by Drahla. //// Produced and Edited by Luciel Brown and Rob Riggs //// Hair and Make up by George Brown //// Follow Drahla: Instagram: / instantdrahla Facebook: / drahlamusic Bandcamp: https://drahla.bandcamp.com/	*	1:06:22 (Pop-up)

Says "Consequence Of Sound" -- "Squid Share New Single “Fugue (Bin Song)”: Stream //// An outtake from their recent album O Monolith //// "Squid have shared a new single called “Fugue (Bin Song),” an outtake from the sessions of their recent sophomore album O Monolith. //// After implementing it into their live performances over the past few years, Squid recorded “Fugue (Bin Song)” in spring 2022 as they were making O Monolith alongside their longtime collaborator Dan Carey at Peter Gabriel’s Real World studio. After its initial iteration didn’t make the cut on the record, Tortoise’s John McEntire re-mixed and edited the tune in late 2023, resulting in the version we hear today. //// At nearly five and a half minutes, “Fugue” is a wandering jam that draws from elements of dance punk, post rock, and noise pop. You can hear a bit of McEntire’s influence as the song culminates into a furious coda, almost like “TNT” with a lot more shredding." ///// Tour dates, all * = w/ Water From Your Eyes //////// 02/02 – Austin, TX @ The Parish * //////// 02/03 – Dallas, TX @ Dada * //////// 02/05 – Nashville, TN @ Basement East * //////// 02/06 – Atlanta, GA @ Terminal West * //////// 02/08 – Washington, DC @ 9:30 Club * //////// 02/09 – Philadelphia, PA @ Union Transfer * //////// 02/10 – Brooklyn, NY @ Brooklyn Steel * //////// 02/14 – Boston, MA @ Paradise Rock Club * //////// 02/15 – Montreal, QC @ SAT * //////// 02/16 – Toronto, ON @ Phoenix Concert Theatre * //////// 02/18 – Chicago, IL @ Thalia Hall * //////// 02/19 – Minneapolis, MN @ Fine Line * //////// 02/23 – Portland, OR @ Revolution Hall * //////// 02/24 – Vancouver, BC @ Rickshaw Theatre * //////// 02/25 – Seattle, WA @ The Crocodile * //////// 02/27 – San Francisco, CA @ Regency Ballroom * //////// 02/29 – Santa Ana, CA @ The Observatory * //////// 03/01 – Los Angeles, CA @ The Belasco *	*	1:14:11 (Pop-up)

Howard notably covered with Lydia Lynch, and “Hey! Little Child” written by Alex Chilton. //////// The band consisted of Australian-born Rowland S.

Vum	This Is The Witch "This Is The Witch" by "Vum"	Cryptocrystalline	Secret Lodge Recordings	2016	Vum hail from Topanga Canyon, California and I envision red rocks and flickering horizons distorted by heat waves. Cryptocrystalline creates something of an open (yet somehow shrouded in a clandestine veil like a secret society in congress) meeting between the outside and inside worlds. Jennifer and Christopher continue to create melodic mood progressions that respond as thoughts, feelings, and perceptions to the events of the environment-punctuated by the pulse of Scott’s percussive engineering. Cryptocrystalline is the VUM album you have waited years for. Jennifer, Christopher, & Scott take you to their Secret Lodge lair from the deep within the basins & bungalows of Topanga Canyon.”		1:33:43 (Pop-up)
The Soft Moon	Far "Far" by "The Soft Moon"	Deeper	Captured Tracks	2015	Jose Luis Vasquez, known professionally as the Soft Moon, was an American musician, singer, songwriter, record producer, and composer.

Hyperlink Dream Sync	Unseen "Unseen" by "Hyperlink Dream Sync"	Unseen Single	Fonolith	2024	The 90s trip-hop-inspired “Unseen” is the latest single from Hyperlink Dream Sync, the electronic trio of Neil Scrivin, Eric Sferro and Juno-nominated Hayley Stewart aka Mecha Maiko The electronic group brings together their love for nostalgic sounds from video game scores and downtempo pop from the 90s-00s with Scrivin and Sferro on production and Stewart on vocals. “Unseen” is an evolution of the song “Carrington Institute” from Hyperlink Dream Sync’s eponymous album, which was produced before Stewart’s arrival. “Eric (Sferro) got in touch about doing vocals for his and Neil’s project, and I immediately fell in love with their album,” Stewart said. “After recording a quick vocal idea for Carrington Institute, they invited me to join the band and we’ve been furiously writing music together ever since.” “Unseen” conjures images of technology infrastructure hidden in the landscape, with high-frequency trading towers serving as one of the muses for Stewart’s lyrics. After all, the internet is a key element in HDS’s work - the band works remotely since Scrivin, Sferro and Stewart live in the UK, US, and Canada, respectively.	*	1:39:26 (Pop-up)

The Dandelion	El Poncho Rojo (Time To Go)	Old Habits & New Ways of the Dandelion	de Silver Recordings	2019	The Dandelion weave an old kind of magic.

Since releasing their 3rd album 'Old Habits & New Ways' earlier this year, the band toured Europe in April and blew crowds away with their explosive blend of 60s psychedelic garage rock. They seem to work in fits and starts and have been on again off again since 2019...let's hope there's more to come from this excellent Australian band!		1:47:25 (Pop-up)

Sam Spence	18th Century Moog "18th Century Moog" by "Sam Spence"	Fantastic Sounds	Kuckuck Schallplatten / E.R.P. Musikverlag	1974	One of the hallmarks of Spence's music is its intangible familiarity. Two film score enthusiasts have pointed out the similarity of his more popular themes to several contemporary film scores; one has criticized them of "get[ting] too close to their obvious film inspiration". They have lauded some of his compositions as "cool homage[s]",while describing others as "barely disguised" "knock-offs".		1:55:32 (Pop-up)
The Shangri-Las	Dressed in Black "Dressed in Black" by "The Shangri-Las"	He Cried/Dressing Black 7"	Redbird	1966	Ahh the Shangri-Las..the girl band for the bad girls...loving too hard, too young, and too fast. Last week we said goodbye to none other than Mary Weiss, lead singer for the band. After the Shangri-Las, Weiss took a job as a purchasing agent in New York City in Manhattan. She recalled in a 2007 interview, "I went to work for an architectural firm, and I was seriously into it. Then I got into commercial interiors, huge projects, buildings."She later became the chief purchasing agent and ran the commercial furniture dealership. In the late 1980s, she managed a furniture store and was an interior designer. By 2001, she was a furniture consultant to New York businesses. There were several returns to music, most notably in March 2007 when Norton Records released Dangerous Game, a critically acclaimed album on which she was backed by The Reigning Sound. Weiss died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at her home in Palm Springs, California, on January 19, 2024, at the age of 75		1:57:28 (Pop-up)

	♥ 8:39pm DJ Babs: Do cyclones rock as hard as hurricanes?
	🏝 ♥ 8:39pm Derek Westerholm: Phew! Relieved all of us on the beach are cyclone/hurricane free presently...
	♥ 8:40pm DJ Babs: I am sorry that was a horrible joke.
	🏝 ♥ 8:40pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Robm @8:36 hi there, Robm
	8:40pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:39 yes they do babs and i love the joke
	🏝 ♥ 8:41pm ultradamno: I like Psyclones...
	🏝 ♥ 8:41pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Robm @8:35 The now Ex-Tropical Cyclone Kirrily is named after an Ex of mine! & she lives up in Northern NSW too!
	♥ 8:42pm DJ Babs: This song wins my award as the one that made me laugh the most. I love the idea of a song about a guy who just wants to play with Sleaford Mods and writes a song called math rock just yelling out numbers.
	🏝 ♥ 8:42pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Math Rock" by "Jack Medley's Secure Men" This is my favourite kind of math rock song...
	🏝 ♥ 8:43pm ultradamno: There's never enough geometry in math rock
	♥ 8:43pm DJ Babs: Also I’m wondering if they are somehow friends with Saul from Fat White Family because his band was called insecure men lol
	8:44pm laurapanic: today is our weird national public holiday Australia Day. And like most colonial places, its hot debate between racists and normal people. Anyhow day off work...
	♥ 8:44pm DJ Babs: ooof. yeah, Canada Day here is not super fun really either. There are things to be proud of but a lot of things not to be proud of...
	8:45pm Robm: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:41 sounds like a bitch snd FWIW happy australia day
	🏝 ♥ 8:47pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @8:44 She's not mate. We are still FB friends, it was over 30 years ago & a very exciting a passionate 6 months together.
	🏝 ♥ 8:47pm ultradamno: It's every day here as long as the guy who questions the birthright of every person with a complexion darker than paste is running for president
	♥ 8:47pm DJ Babs: Lol I'm ok with being named after a hurricane but only if it doesn't hit landfall and hurt ppl...just wanders around aimlessly around the oceans until its rage peters out....
	🏝 ♥ 8:48pm Derek Westerholm: I've never really understood investing heavily in National Pride... Loving your surroundings and feeling attached to the land, that I get... Honouring your history, that I get... But identifying with a Country name & a flag... I've just never understood it... Not when I was a kid, not now... I "get" it, but I don't care.
	♥ 8:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:47 yeah man shit is getting real..that's for sure.
	♥ 8:48pm DJ Babs: I agree Derek. I wish national pride would be like, just honouring the land and nature that we have the privilege of living on.
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Babs: There's definitely rough times ahead...thank goodness we have places like this to find a few hours of refuge...
	8:49pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @8:47 not going to mention the orange jerk, but glad i have this station to fall back to instead of doom scrolling all day
	🏝 ♥ 8:50pm Scott_Oz: Invasion Day ain't my celebration. Always Was Always Will Be Aboriginal Land. ✊😎🖤💛❤️
	🏝 ♥ 8:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Robm @8:49 Scroll to non-doom any way you can!
	8:52pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:49 yeah babs and people on the accu to chat with i agree scott, not a big nationalist myself @derek give me the BBC anytime
	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Rightway Highway" by "Donzii" This is a fun one, too! Loving Babs' surprises! Quite often we have no idea what each other is going to play, even if we've agreed on a theme...
	🏝 ♥ 8:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Robm @8:52 BBC is fantastic, f'sure!
	♥ 8:55pm DJ Babs: GODDAMN FAT WHITE FAMILY ALWAYS DELIVERING
	8:55pm laurapanic: I'm grooving in my kitchen....tidying up, hanging out...its lovely
	8:57pm Robm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:54 and they have great programs i listen to the ABC from Australia and they have this program called conversations and it gets interesting, laura you and scott may have heard of the program?
	🏝 ♥ 8:59pm northguineahills: ok, back at my friend's. thanks babs and derek ( i was talking to supajen)
	9:01pm laurapanic: ↳ Robm @8:57 Conversations is a bit of an institution here. Yes, the interviews are terrific. The older ones with original host Richard Fidler are amazing
	🏝 ♥ 9:01pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Robm @8:52 Is that the one with David Wenham mate!
	🏝 ♥ 9:01pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @8:59 NGH, aww, excellent... Hello NGH friend! Hello Supajen! Yay!
	9:01pm laurapanic: Conversations is available on podcast apps.
	9:02pm laurapanic: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:01 No...it now has a female host
	9:02pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @9:02 Sarah Kanowski
	🏝 ♥ 9:03pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:01 Thanks for the recommendation... Must check out...
	9:03pm Robm: ↳ laurapanic @9:01 thanks will look them up later on apple podcasts laura
	9:03pm Robm: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:01 i think so
	9:04pm Robm: ↳ laurapanic @9:01 i know i listen to the podcast when i miss the show
	🏝 ♥ 9:05pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @9:02 Ahh, Are we talking ABC Radio, not TV.
	9:06pm laurapanic: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:05 aaahhh, yes
	🏝 ♥ 9:06pm ultradamno: Displaced Australians in NYC Pyrex made one of my favorites of the last year...not to be confused with the Australian pop band called Pyrex totalpunkrecords.bandcamp.com...
	🏝 ♥ 9:07pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:06 That -does- sound possibly a little confusion-worthy...
	♥ 9:07pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @8:59 Say hi to Jen for us!
	🏝 ♥ 9:08pm ultradamno: Apparently the food container company is not terribly litigious
	9:10pm Robm: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:05 sorry scott should have been more clear
	9:11pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @9:06 I have had pyrex confusion for sure. But yes NYC is preferable
	♥ 9:13pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:08 Unlike the Kleenex ppl!
	🏝 ♥ 9:14pm ultradamno: ...not to mention the Salvation Army (how we got The Three O'Clocks) and, of course Red Cross
	9:15pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @9:13 yeh that was so dumb but ok
	🏝 ♥ 9:16pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:13 My english language Kleenex/Liliput book is on it's way from St Louis as we speak!
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm ultradamno: So I was just listening to the Kill Rock Stars collection to prime myself the other day.
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm Derek Westerholm: Ha, I was typing out a Kleenex/Lilliput comment in response to litigiousness, too, but then abandoned it distractedly, haha...
	🏝 ♥ 9:18pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Squid" by "Fugue (Bin Song)" Apparently Squids were going to sue Squid... But then they realised they wouldn't be able to do much w/ human money anyway...
	🏝 ♥ 9:18pm ultradamno: Oh, and while not a band name, kind of the gold standard goes to Carbona
	🏝 ♥ 9:19pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Robm @9:10 You're right mate. I reread ya comment & you said "listening". So my error.
	9:19pm laurapanic: listened to the Fall "room to live" in the car on the way to the beach today. All because of this beach .
	🏝 ♥ 9:19pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:18 Was that one of the reasons Ramones' "Carbona, Not Glue" got kinda rare?
	🏝 ♥ 9:20pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:19 One of the Fall albums that split fans... I, of course, am pro-Room To Live...
	9:20pm Robm: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:19 sometimes i have to reread a comment before i respond scott no biggie
	🏝 ♥ 9:21pm ultradamno: Yeah, it was pulled off records for years. I don't know if they gave up or made a deal (the company does still exist), but once Rhino started reissuing them the song came back...
	♥ 9:22pm Kristine: hey gang! whats uuuup?
	♥ 9:23pm Kristine: i have never heard immortal souls-this is fab!!
	🏝 ♥ 9:23pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:23 Kristine! Just a little Roland S. Howard... What's up w/ you?
	9:23pm Robm: ↳ Kristine @9:22 nothing much kristine, just listening to great tunage
	🏝 ♥ 9:23pm ultradamno: ↳ Kristine @9:23 It's not a large discography, but it's all high quality.
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm ultradamno: King Of California....classic!
	♥ 9:24pm DJ Babs: Heya Kristine! How are you!?!
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm Derek Westerholm: I hadn't heard it until the day before yesterday!! It's new old extras!
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:24 Agreed x2
	♥ 9:25pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @9:19 Yes!!! The Fallfluence is real!!
	♥ 9:25pm DJ Babs: Actually there was something fall adjacent I forgot to mention they name check this nation’s saving grace in the lyrics!
	🏝 ♥ 9:27pm ultradamno: Paul Hanley's been writing about Buzzcocks lately www.route-online.com...
	🏝 ♥ 9:28pm ultradamno: Funny thing how you can count on a Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds record to rank among his top five if it has Barry Adamson on it
	🏝 ♥ 9:30pm ultradamno: There's a Rowland doc called Autoluminescent that is worth seeing if you can swing it...
	♥ 9:30pm Kristine: doing pretty great, i feel less like hibernating than i did earlier this week
	♥ 9:30pm Kristine: sorry which band are you talking about?

	9:35pm Bob Barth: Sheena's is very, VERY XTRA!! Hey you 2!
	🏝 ♥ 9:36pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @9:31 It's free on ABC or SBS on demand too I think. One of them financed its production.
	♥ 9:37pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Bob!
	🏝 ♥ 9:37pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Bob Barth @9:35 Hello BobB! What's up? What's up next?!?
	♥ 9:38pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:30 We should definitely get a plan together to go see them! We don't have tickets yet.
	♥ 9:40pm DJ Babs: It super sucks that Fentanyl took out a huge chunk of the good new post punk movement last week. :-(
	9:40pm Bob Barth: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:37 Thanks guys! Tonight I have 2 playwrights on the show with two works that couldn't BE more different. Lots of fun surprises in store!
	♥ 9:41pm DJ Babs: and now...from the dark to the light!
	🏝 ♥ 9:41pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Bob Barth @9:40 Ah, tell more... You don't have to reveal surprises...
	🏝 ♥ 9:43pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:40 ...and, from the looks of it, porn star Jesse Jane and her boyfriend
	♥ 9:44pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:43 and also possibly the guy from Pawn Stars? Did they say what he died of?
	🏝 ♥ 9:44pm ultradamno: (I don't think anyone's said fentanyl, but both dying of overdoses simultaneously is either that or suicide pact)
	♥ 9:46pm DJ Babs: yeesh.
	9:46pm Bob Barth: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:41 OK... here's a hint... A Musical Adaptation of a film that put Julia Roberts on the map featuring hits from the 80's & 90s! Cheesy goodness abounds!
	🏝 ♥ 9:46pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:44 Yep, fentanyl news.yahoo.com...
	🏝 ♥ 9:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Efficient Neighbours" by "FAST CAR SLOW CAR" It's easy to make a Fast Car a Slow Car... It's much harder to make a Slow Car a Fast Car...
	♥ 9:47pm DJ Babs: ↳ Bob Barth @9:46 Ha! LOVE IT
	♥ 9:50pm DJ Babs: Man I gotta get this album on vinyl. This band is so much fun.

	9:51pm laurapanic: ↳ Kristine @9:50 it really is
	♥ 9:51pm Kristine: Babs, have you been here? Nothing says Weimar republic like this menu font www.goldenpigeonbar.com...
	♥ 9:51pm DJ Babs: Scott or Laura got any details on these guys?
	♥ 9:53pm Roberto: <-- My kitty is from Philadelphia!
	9:56pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @9:51 never heard of them.. as is often the case around here!

	🏝 ♥ 10:01pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks all!
	🏝 ♥ 10:01pm ultradamno: I've always posited that the girl in Out In The Streets got her boyfriend domesticated and then realized she had a ticking time bomb on her hands, him being around without a release valve, and was trying to come up with a way to get him to leave her.
