listener james from westwood:

Owing to news of that Bodega app from earlier today (Silicon Valley types thinking they'll disrupt neighborhood food provision, ::eyeroll::), and its being dragged on Twitter all day, I've had Bodega Pop on the brain since the opening whistle. So, glad to be here for actual finds from ACTUAL bodegas!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:58pm
Gary:

Wait, whaaa ... ? Hey there, James!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:02pm
Doug Schulkind:

What Listener James is trying to say is...

Bodega Pop = good
Bodega ( www.fastcompany.com... ) Assholes = bad

I swear, folks leaving big tech firms need a few months in a virtual reality cabinet or holodeck or something to regain a sense of human empathy so they at least look beneath the surface at the functional fucking communities their Google buses speed them past.

Trying to think of bodegas I know that are in neighborhoods full of the type of people who would be eager to do business with Bodega-dot-com. Not coming up with many.

By the way, I just love the concept of tonight's show. So great to know that this sort of stuff is available in the bodegas of Queens.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:28pm
Gary:

And it was all found within the last month or two
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:30pm
Parq:

Gary, what percentage of what you grab turns out to be memorable? Not asking in a judging or challenging way, just curious.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:36pm
Parq:

Yes, I'm here for the Polish set! I brought back a bunch of music from Poland last year, and people told me about Kult, but, sad to say, I didn't pick up any.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:38pm
Gary:

Oh, you should look them up, Parq! Go to Music Planet in Greenpoint -- that's where I got this
Avatar 7:48pm
hyde:

this set just makes me want kiszka
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:48pm
Parq:

These are some of the best Waits songs, and yes, it makes complete sense that a guy from Warsaw would relate to them.
Avatar 7:49pm
hyde:

but who stole the kiszka?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:51pm
Gary:

I never sausage a kiszka
Avatar 7:53pm
hyde:

i once knew someone who had a cat named Kishka. She was probably the dumbest cat i have ever known (which is saying something)

It was his pierogi-tive.

Webhamster Henry:

Hi Gary - this is a real click- starry show! Make sure Ken hears it becasue I think he's run out of Khlam tracks.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:55pm
Webhamster Henry:

Stashu could also play Cmentarna Polka.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:55pm
Gary:

Webhamster Henry! Forgive me for being thick, but what is "Khlam"?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:58pm
Webhamster Henry:

Khlam is a Russian loud rock-jazz group that Ken was obsessed with for some time. They broke up some years ago, recorded material is limited.

Oh, I'll have to look them up. We're going to hear a kind of jazz-rockish sort of band later this evening, from Czechoslovakia

Eating this up like bigos, Gary, but just gotta get out of here. Catch the last reel when I get home.

So, would this be considered Ghana rap? Just wondering.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:27pm
Gary:

Yes!
  8:29pm
Jill B.:

Wow, I finally figured out what I have been listening to, I love it! Seems better than US rap.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:32pm
Gary:

There's a lot of great -- and various -- US rap, but this is definitely quite different!

Throughout this section of Bodega Pop I have been dancing in my heart! Feels good.

I used to work in Lefrak City (2005-2007)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:14pm

Ouch, Hyde. Hi, NGH! Most of the CDs I played are actually from that era, I believe (based on the 2015 date of one of them) ...

The Q59 bus from Williamsburg was so erratic, that taking the L to the G to E/F to the R/M was actually faster.
Avatar 9:17pm
hyde:

@Gary my last two cats that i owned were slow, indoor dopes. need to adjust to the fast, stringy outdoor type.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:18pm
Gary:

The busses here are verrrrrry hit or miss
Avatar 9:20pm
northguineahills:

Still no power, but my driveway no longer has trees blocking it.

I somehow have become living catnip. While taking walks in my neighborhood, all of these outdoor cats come up to me for pettings, and the purr when I pick them up. One owner was flabbergasted as he said that his cat usually shreds his friends. Must be my diet?

northguineahills:

Hoping to go home tomorrow. I hope I don't have to use to many holiday days for work.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:22pm

Damn, I forget that there are still a LOT of people w/out power down there
Avatar 9:24pm
northguineahills:

too many
Avatar 9:25pm
northguineahills:

The only reason my parents got power after 16 hours is that they're on the same power grid as the hospital. 1km, everyone is w/o power.

Plastic People of the Universe played literally around the corner from me at the Bohemian Hall Beer Garden a few years ago and ... I somehow managed to miss them
Avatar 9:44pm

A month ago, the Bohemian Hall Beer Garden had a chamber orchestra play a bunch of modern avant Czech pieces. I really wanted to go (if I was near). I miss that place.
