1 of 3 crumm bumms checking in...HI DANA!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Dana, this playlist/chat runs from 7 pm to 10 pm. I think that means that we can't post after 10, (and maybe something happens to the broadcast???)

Thanks for the heads up Rob. I'm not sure why that happened. I'm not usually on Saturdays, obviously.

Ohi

Oh cool, you changed the time! Super Dana!!

what can i say? i'm a tech genius

Lol and likely cause Commie was in your slot yesterday

yes, we switched

switcheroo .......

not switcherooo (spellcheck)

Like Freaky Friday between Lindsey Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis

yea

Like "Don't Back the Commie" with Dana Francis.......

I back all Commies

Uneasy Fronting - Commy K

So what you're saying is that this radio show is a front??

I feel very uneasy.

Nuthin's ever simple at Princeton...

Happy birthday, Dana!!

looking Back, Happy Birthday Dana..

Do back the (popular) front. Happy birthday/radio birthday Dana!

thanks all!

HAPPI BIRF

hbd djdk

Happy Dang burfdayyyyyyyyyy

Saw Ride at a bowling complex...guitar squalls with a constant side of pins crashing 🎳

Cheese

YESSSSS

Ouch, Margaret.

Do we get a third EYES song??

no but you have my permission to sing DISNEYLAND

Already on it

B A R B A R A!!!!!

Great start! HBD!

I didn't say this at the beginning, but i am being VERY self-indulgent and mostly playing my favorites. Like Babs here.

@ Dana: Fire away............

L.S. 💛💚

I was also really bummed I couldn't see Barbara Mannin open for Codeine because I had to leave a union meeting that night.

Also, Happy birthday! I was going to go out to a fun gathering tonight, but I got suddenly ill and have to stay in. But at least I get to listen to this birthday radio show!

i hope you feel better, scooter!

Great to hear the jam! Happy B day Dana, Rob in snowy Maryland. Did you see the jam @ U of M In June Of 1982? Having the Jam as a fave is awesome Dana….

Oh hell yeah

Will Rigby's drumming on this Dbs track has always blown me away. It's so perfect.

Ohhhhh zeitgeist 💕

Yay Zeitgeist!!

Hi Ira TM! I don't think I saw The Jam in 1982 at U of M, but it is possible that I did and don't remember it.

This is the stuff

my man lloyd

yes lloyd = <3

You download that fIREHOSE recording that Mike posted from their Philly show? I should do that

tw: farewell transmission

damn good show, Dana K!

Just popping in to look at the playlist and say hey! Looks like it's been a killer show!

killer might not be the right word for it lol

but thank you!

Purple Mountain 🤍❄️

Happy Birthday Dana K. Always a treat to catch your shows.

Magnetic Fields!!!

Thanks DSM <3

Peaceful on this frigid night

rhyming "composer" with "holland-dozier-holland" is something only stephin could do

@dana k this show is so good for this winter day. In icy pdx and missed parts while I was grocery shopping -will it be on demand somewhere and I can listen later? Jason Molina RIP… and David berman.. it’s past solstice so days are getting longer..

Also happy birthday youngster!!

hi kristin, thank you so much! unfortunately shows are very hard to archive at the moment, so no, but hopefully you'll have some time to check out what you haven't heard

Uncle Bob!

Archives what a pain. Yes that last record was after he ended his time on earth.

Looking forward to your bar mitzvah show in a couple years!

I know most of the music but love hearing great djs take me on the journey! PRB alum still doing live radio here in pdx. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Archives are a total pain - unfortunately there's some legal issues that I don't fully understand, but hopefully we'll be able to have something like WFMU's archives some day.

Legal issues surrounding archiving our shows, that is. Blame the FCC!

@Kristin, who is the PRB Alum in PDX?

Hi @richard lyons that’s me PU ‘84 the 80s early indie rock golden era(?!). On @xrayfm 107.1 now. Live radio never gets old. @dana I’m not an fcc fan either…!

Big brithday show!! i had company here and they complimented the show.

Hi Kristin! Nice!!!! I will check it out!

ssssssssssound 💥💥💥

love to hear it, colin!

Strawberry!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

...also a Lizbot fave...

....and the Bass....

Yessssss

I know it isn't the Airwaves you requested!

I mean, sure. But it's a very nice Airwaves just the same.

Love the version on Golden Age, but the demo is where it's at

@richard lyons are you a PRB alum by chance? Don’t know of any out here.

this is over the top 💥💥💥

it's SO OTT. took me a while to decide i actually loved it

@Krisitn nope. KUFM in Missoula, MT :)

step one make your way past all the other 98 1 second silent tracks to sit through 10 minutes of silence on track 99 till the hidden track begins!!

always loved everything about this song.

there's a lot to love on the VU self titled. I know it's not usually the top of everyone's lists

Fun show tonight. Thanks Dana K!

Thank youuuuuu Dana K 🎂💥🎂💥🎂💥

Have a frigid weekend Dana and happy birthday!!

THIS IS WIRE!

Happy Birthday Dana K! On a cloudy night U R a Shining Star 🌟 Thank You & bcnu!

thank you all so much!

best birthday wishes for the new year to come!
