WFMU: Paul Bruno: Playlist from March 30, 2025

Paul Bruno: Playlist from March 30, 2025

Too weird for the rockers. Too rock for the weirdos.

<-- Previous playlist | Back to Paul Bruno playlists | Next playlist -->

Upcoming events:

Sun. Apr 6th, 3pm - 5pm: Famous Mammals (More info...)
The members of Famous Mammals have a pedigree that reads like a who's who of the 21st-century Bay Area underground: Andy Human and the Reptoids, The Rays, The World, Naked Roommate, Non Plus Temps, Time Flys, and too many others to mention. This project, however, may top them all. A scuzzy swirl of psych-tinged DIY that will thrill those who've dug for original copies of every song on the Messthetics comps. Catch them live at The Broadway (1272 Broadway, Brooklyn) on March 27th and then on Paul's show the following week.

	♥ 4:13pm the other nadia (hectic): ↳ DJ PB @4:08 that made me laugh!
	♥ 4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Your Autumn Days" by "Figures" Vaguely Huskerlike ...REM even ...which I'm all in favor of...
	♥ 4:19pm HyperDose: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:16 heard that!

	♥ 4:22pm Handy Haversack: ↳ DJ PB @4:13 One of the cats seems to have taken up smoking, but it's American Spirits, so that's fine.
	♥ 4:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Glad to be hearing this Set ...never too old to have a good mid1980s ...well yes I am. But I had a point...
	♥ 4:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:22 ...wait til you learn how he gets the money...
	♥ 4:25pm the other nadia (hectic): this is good failed drawing music
	♥ 4:25pm DJ PB: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:22 It's the healthy option
	♥ 4:25pm newton: ↳ Steve Harsh @3:47 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Abattoir Blues
	♥ 4:26pm DJ PB: ↳ the other nadia (hectic) @4:25 I provide a good soundtrack to many kinds of failure. It's my area of expertise.
	♥ 4:28pm the other nadia (hectic): ↳ DJ PB @4:26 haha! some of the music you've been playing has been uplifting. it was mostly the last song.
	♥ 4:28pm crateslinger: I am also failing at a graphic arts project right now. Trying to make a flyer. I cut out all the things and they look cool, but my bubble letters Suck!
	♥ 4:29pm Handy Haversack: ↳ crateslinger @4:28 K8 always finds a typeface she likes and then types and prints the info and collages that in along with all the shapes and whatnots.
	♥ 4:29pm the other nadia (hectic): ↳ crateslinger @4:28 bubble letters are a struggle. i feel like i always have to decide beforehand what all the letters will look like, otherwise i'll just draw a bunch of blobs and clumps.
	4:30pm eva: Sweet! A Boston band from the 80’s. I had a Salam 66 EP.
	♥ 4:30pm crateslinger: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:29 Thanks! That'll will work. Awesoe.

	♥ 4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ crateslinger @4:30 ...also autocarrot...
	♥ 4:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Steve Harsh @4:31 Still, that line from "Tokyo Storm Warning" is pretty much perfect.
	♥ 4:32pm crateslinger: ↳ the other nadia (hectic) @4:29 yeah I thought I was gonna just wing it and create something quirky and unusual, but with heart and style. That's not what happened tho.
	♥ 4:33pm doctorjazz: Hey Paul and All!
	♥ 4:33pm crateslinger: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:11 And I think Motorhead's cover of the Hawkwind song "Motorhead" was on the album On Parole if I'm not mistaken.
	♥ 4:33pm diciassette: ↳ Song: "One More Day" by "The Tubs" obsessed
	♥ 4:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Literally went @ the Flyer thing this week for an Astrology Discussion Group - with crayons ...thing is no one cares tho.

	♥ 4:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ ryansterlingvirtue @4:35 Been running through my head a lot lately. I also think that if I were ever to have a Hoof N' Mouth - like opportunity, that's what I'd do.
	♥ 4:38pm Steve Harsh: ↳ ryansterlingvirtue @4:35 Yup - the people in charge don't give a shit if they turn the whole fucking world into an abattoir
