  3:29am

''Ladies'' he said, bowing and tipping his stove pipe black hat but not so much as to dishevel his velvet cape.

hi julie, hi everyone!
Avatar 🦇 4:16am
Julie:

I have much Russian goth, will have to play more soon
  4:17am
bronxelf:

Hallo! Apparently Im talking about kitkats and potato chips. And my frankenboots.
  4:23am
Matt from Springfield:

World Goth Day is finally upon us!
Hi Julie, Bronxelf, everyone!

Julie:

I will dig some more out next week! I love me some non-english language goth
  4:27am
Matt from Springfield:

Good transition too from Cocteau to Speaking Silence, and All About Eve.

"In the Gold Dust Rush", "It's All But An Ark Lark", love those early titles!
  4:40am
Matt from Springfield:

LOL, "You All Need Help - I actually got to use that on the air!"
  4:44am
Matt from Springfield:

"Consequently (INconsequential version two)"

Also just noticed band name "Pretentious, moi?" :)
  4:48am

Hey I say that *at least* 3 times a day.

Matt from Springfield:

I've got all my lights off, wearing black and my black fedora hat while listening. It may be early but I'm bringing WGD in as best I can!

It's been a great dancey set!
  5:03am
Cruel Britannia:

Oh. I appear to have found the commenty thing. I should have been on this ages ago. Hi.
  5:03am

wearing black on the beach....... why does that sound familiar? ;)
Avatar 🦇 5:03am
Julie:

hi CB!
  5:04am
Matt from Springfield:

Goth Luau! Goth Beach Party! That's something that should be worked out, helps Goths in summer and Hawaii do their thing.
  5:04am
Cruel Britannia:

Hi! Late to the party somewhat. I forgot about this from last time Bronxelf was on the show...
  5:05am
Matt from Springfield:

Ahoy, Cruel Britannia! Enjoyed your WGD promo.

Razi, great song!
  5:06am
slugluv1313:

awwww LOVE the adorable lil BATS!!! good morning (mourning?? ha ha could not resist the lame pun!) Ms. Julie and Ms. DJ Bronxelf! and WOW!!! i did not even know that there is a WORLD GOTH DAY!!!!!!! thank you for enlightening me!!!
  5:06am
Cruel Britannia:

You're welcome, Matt. :-)
  5:06am
razi:

hey, i'm just a fan, tuned-in for good music & DJ patter, you guys.
  5:07am
razi:

thanks for saying so, Matt!
  5:07am
Matt from Springfield:

And totally, all the band names that come from song titles and album titles. It helps if you know the year of release of both, then you could have some estimation of which order is which.
  5:07am
bronxelf:

CB - I was wondering when you'd turn up...
  5:08am
Cruel Britannia:

Hi Razi. Happy World Goth Day! Stil loving the Cocteaus cover, btw. What's next in the pipeline, Sir?
  5:08am
Matt from Springfield:

@razi: Hey, it beats a tin can anyday!

And good mourning slugluv!

Destroit:

good morning. Glad to wake up to this.

Julie:

Good to "meet" you, Razi. Played your CT cover last week
  5:08am
Cruel Britannia:

@bronxelf O Rlly? Oh come one, I'm like the proverbial bad smell...
  5:11am
bronxelf:

CB- you need help.
  5:11am
Matt from Springfield:

That was a "very Julie" cover of the Doors, for sure! :)
And thought this Can The Can sounded familiar. If I Knew Suzy...I wouldn't have to look that up!
  5:13am
Matt from Springfield:

Ghost Dance also did that "Heart Full of Soul" cover I like--don't suppose they're still around?
  5:13am
Cruel Britannia:

@bronxelf I need something or other. But mostly, a cigarette. And a reason to follow up plans for World Superhero Golf Day.
  5:14am
bronxelf:

CB- Hey I helped build the Tronguy suit.. Dont make me build another suit. *stare*
  5:15am
razi:

@DJCB- i am NOT YET AT LIBERTY to specify which tune is in-progress, because: reasons. I will say the artist was played on this show already this evening, and sound clips might be this week. just a few more details to see if it is working.
  5:15am
Glovanie:

this is like the 3rd time hearing this song this month 'randomly'
Avatar 🦇 5:15am
Julie:

@Matt I think they were an 80s band, and had very few releases
  5:17am
Cruel Britannia:

@bronxelf the only suit I need in life is my black & white pintsripe 'Boardroom Killer'. I think glowy bits might spoil the image.
  5:17am
Deadstuffgrum:

Nice work Bronx, just managed to get five minutes to have a listen :)
Avatar 🦇 5:18am
Julie:

I dont know if I want to know about your glowy bits, CB!
  5:18am
Cruel Britannia:

@Razi fair enough. I'm still tempted to peek under the tarpaulin every nowe & then to see what you're buildin'. I look forward to it.
  5:18am
razi:

hi @Julie- pleased to make your acquaintance. And your playlist!
  5:19am
bronxelf:

@Deadstuffgrum HI HI HI! :D
  5:21am
Cruel Britannia:

Ey up, Grum! It's like Twitter in here now, but accessible over works internet!
  5:23am
Cruel Britannia:

@Julie ...and I tried sooo hard to keep the quality level of this chat something like decent on this board. *laughs*
  5:23am
Deadstuffgrum:

Yep, and on WFMU,too- home of my beloved Lux & Ivy's Favourites shows.. How cool is that? !
  5:24am
bronxelf:

@CB try selling that to people who don't know you...
  5:25am
Matt from Springfield:

"New Wave Goes To Hell"--if Stun Gun is any indication I think I will like that album.
  5:26am
Cruel Britannia:

What? I have no id-oh, ...wait.
Point taken. I'm going for a smoke.
Avatar 🦇 5:28am
Julie:

How is everyone celebrating WGD?
  5:29am
bronxelf:

Im gonna be at GOTHIKA all day but you knew that.
  5:31am
slugluv1313:

oh wow LOVE this version of "Ghost in You" . . . tears and fond memories . . . !

do not know how i shall celebrate -- where oh where is my black nail polish??? (i pretty much wear BLACK all the time anyway)

what and where is GOTHIKA!
  5:32am
Matt from Springfield:

I'm going to drink Jäger out of a shot glass with a skull on it!
And I've got clove cigarettes fresh from Oz, will smoke after dinner and enjoy my "Bret Ellis dessert", a clove cigarette and kir royal!
  5:34am
Matt from Springfield:

I will be able to wear all black to work, and may check out gothy music videos later.
  5:35am
slugluv1313:

KIR ROYAL! ABSINTHE!!! ARAK!!!! AGUARDIENTE!!!!
perhaps dig out some old Lou Reed -- after all, it was seeing a photograph of him -- maybe 1972? -- wearing the BLACK nail polish that inspired me so . . .
Avatar 🦇 5:36am
Julie:

Slugluv, sounds great!
  5:38am
bronxelf:

Gothika is always so hard to explain. but it's a virtual club- you can hear everything live on the net if you like.
  5:38am
Cruel Britannia:

Right, back from a quick smokes. what have I missed? *pats out flames*
Avatar 🦇 5:40am
Julie:

You missed us talking about Styx
  5:44am
bronxelf:

You missed us talking about the stupid thing in my hair earlier.
  5:48am
razi:

i own Kilroy, Paradise, and clearly remember borrowing Cornerstone, Pieces of Eight & Grand Illusion from the public library. (thx wikipedia) mostly remembering the Hipgnosis cover art on Po8. (music didn't age well for me)
Avatar 🦇 5:49am
Julie:

Paradise is the only one I have, the only one I need.
  5:50am
Matt from Springfield:

Awesome Gary Numan!
Avatar 🦇 5:51am
Julie:

We have elected not to tell Nachum it is world goth day
  5:51am
bronxelf:

Regular listeners of my sets can vouch for my unholy love for Gary Numan.
  5:53am
Matt from Springfield:

"Ours is a love that is unholy, undying...and absolutely nothing to do with 'Cars'..."
Avatar 🦇 5:54am
Julie:

I think this is our last one folks, we'll have to run on out after it. Thanks so much for listening!
  5:55am
ausmanx:

he has no place on the playlist today, but Julie's message board does need an RIP Robin Gibb note before the end of the show...
  5:55am
Glovanie:

Thanks for a darker than average night... it's kinda fitting...
Avatar 🦇 5:56am
Julie:

I played a BeeGees cover at the start of the show, as well as a Donna one
  5:57am

Appropriate Nick Cave to end on.

Well, this is going to be fun :)
  8:31am
Van in DC:

And....a fitting tribute to both Donna Summer and Robin Gibb right off the bat to start the show...nice!
  8:55am
Van in DC:

(right off the bat...did you see what I did there? :D )

Enjoyed the interview with DJ Cruel Brittania!
  11:42am
Van in DC:

Julie, I think I heard you ask for someone to explain the meaning of "Can the Can" song...? Strange lyrics indeed. But I did find this:

"Micky Most asked songwriters Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman for a song for Suzi Quatro and they came up with this. When asked what "Can The Can" means, Chinn replied: "It means something that is pretty impossible, you can't get one can inside another if they are the same size, so we're saying you can't put your man in the can if he is out there and not willing to commit. The phrase sounded good and we didn't mind if the public didn't get the meaning of it.""

Van in DC:

Wonderful show together, again, as Matt said. Many thanks as always Julie, and special thanks to DJ Bronxelf for stopping by again. :)
  8:25pm
Matt from Springfield:

Good work, thanks Van! I was wondering what was behind "Can The Can".
