↳ Song: "Tarjar" by "Dusza"

Hello Uncle Michael and folks.

I was confused for a moment, my player had some of Flash's Explorers Room dub in its cache and then when that played out I was still hearing dub. Well, I was confused until I checked the playlist.

So, no longer confused, just poorly informed, I.E. the usual.

Marie de Chicago: Special greets to Franco!   1:22pm

Is it nobler then to burn out or to rust? ♥ 1:30pm
(Mr) Bill:

↳ Simply Simon @1:27

I don't know from nobility, but it seems materially preferable to rust. Burning out is too close to burning up, and it would be great to be able to go without sleep. 1:34pm
Simply Simon:

↳ (Mr) Bill @1:30

It's all oxidation in the long run. 🛒 ♥ 1:35pm

Things didn't end well for Paul. Some folks felt Dylan could have been a bit more generous   2:24pm
Andres: “Questionable segue”? Freeform! 🛒 ♥ 2:24pm
coelacanth∅:

↳ KWilde @2:19

i don't know that song, but Clayton's "who's gonna buy you ribbons" is one obvious inspiration for Dylan's song.
(i have the album, i forget the name; but the chicken song is not on it. i'll look for it) 🛒 ♥ 2:25pm

KWilde:

It was buying ribbons not feeding chickens - that was a Homer & Jethro gag 2:29pm
Simply Simon: IMO, the main reason to collect Homer & Jethro records is the Jack Davis cover art. ♥ 2:29pm

Bad trip, man.   2:52pm
Listener Robert:

↳ Song: "Rainbow Connection" by "Puddles Pity Party ft. Pe...

That song makes me cry because it's true. I like that it acknowledges that the rainbow is an illusion. Something about knowing about physical processes likes that evokes crying in me. And it's true that we're often drawn to the illusion rather than the real. ♥ 2:53pm
Uncle Michael: Robert...it's okay to be a lover, a dreamer...and you. Some illusions are real. 🛒 ♥ 2:55pm
