Good Morning Bob + fellow listeners
No offense to anyone, but I would never request a song or an artist be played by Bob. I’m a huge music fan with thousands of records and CDs. Despite all that, in the 40+ years I’ve been listening to Bob, he’s turned me on to many wonderful sounds. That’s part of the magic of what he does. I’m not putting in any requests. I want to be surprised!
Thanks Bob!

Those first 2 dB’s albums were real stand-out pieces of art. Smarter than the rest of the class by quite a lot; they have a kind of literary value, even while being the synthesis of all the great ridiculous teen heartache dilemmas ever pressed to vinyl

I love Stamey’s adenoidal breaking voice teenage dork posturing vs. Holsapple’s explosive sarcasm…and all of it plugged into hybrid pop pastiche with lots of the chords going all wrong…in all the right ways…it was SO GOOD to have this stuff in the early 80s. It cut through a lot of BS

So, a friend of mine was walking into the Sears in Pasadena with his mother when Marlo Thomas walked by...

"Look Craig, THAT GIRL!"

We still say it to each other for a laugh.

I’d cling to that moment myself, Franco. Like a speed-date with Barbara Feldon!

checking-In; couldn’t resist- this had been so exciting to hear a complete scan overview! (Including some collectibles). The production on those first 2 albums were so special & unique. & despite loving it ALL (including comps & odds & ends) never sounded as distinctive again. Kept as many of my vinyls as originally found.
- Incl a few 7”ers. Note: always loved Stamey’s 1st solo album “Wonderful
Life”. On & On, etc.

I had been so stoked to finally get to a 3rd dB’s album (Like This) and was a bit startled by its polished production sound. (Yet still found its way inside the pleasure centers). Thanks again for this Bob.

Glad that you allotted 1 & 1/2 hours to the dBs, Bob. Their music was mostly unknown to me. Thanks to Franco Twinkie, now I know why—I rarely had any girlfriends to argue with. (Although I did have one named Jill for a short time.)

Def hit Rocks in yer Head a few times on my shopping trips. Nothing quite as mind blowing as 99Records short run as a retail store.
- what was the name of that shortish lived collectors oddball euro-centric shop that wasn’t too far from the original knitting factory (Oblique?) - man that guy had done wild imports !

- I believe closed suddenly due to addiction issues. (?!) sigh. 😔
