Hello, ndbob!

All this time I thought Ike was being coy referring to Adam's fore-piece.
Avatar 6:04pm ndbob:

this is great!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:06pm Doug Schulkind:

Just don't speak of Adam's codpiece, Dean. Think of the children.
  6:08pm Dean:

If it's good enough for Gene Simmons and George Bush...no, on second thought, even then it's not right for the kids.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:08pm Parq:

Making a rare Tuesday night appearance. This show is going to be the bomb. There. I said it. Now we can all go on with our lives.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:10pm Doug Schulkind:

Howdy, Parq! Glad to have you here in the Tuesday cockpit!
  6:14pm Dean:

My guess for tunes that did NOT make the cut: VH's "Atomic Punk," and Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:16pm Doug Schulkind:

You guessed right, Deano.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:17pm Gary:

That Mother Eve .... WHAT-lated?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:17pm Parq:

Man, this Sons of the Pioneers track got a lot of FMU airplay in the 80s.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:18pm Joe McG:

@Parq: I think when "Atomic Cafe" came out, there was a rush on atomic songs! (Hi, Doug!)
Avatar 6:18pm ndbob:

I used to have this 45

howdy Doug and All
  6:18pm Dean:

But maybe The Eyes' "Eniwetok"?
Avatar 6:19pm ndbob:

Speaking of nuclear songs . it amazes me that Wanda Jackson's Fujiyama Mama was big hit in Japan
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:24pm Doug Schulkind:

That's kooky, ndbob.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:31pm Doug Schulkind:

The only thing to stop a bad guy with an atom bomb is a good guy with an atom bomb?

[um, no]
  6:33pm Jeff g.:

Greetings from the kitchen! Cookin' with gas, not fission, thankfully.

Gas goes boom, too, Jeff G. Be carfeful!

New Yorker cartoon shows President Trump asking his cabinet "Can't we just nuke them and build something fabulous?"

Please, no obscene language is allowed here. Especially THAT five-letter word.
  6:38pm Dean:

Yeah, fuck T***p!

This track never gets old

Onyeabor writes on the back of the LP jacket:

"May i seize this opportunity to thank
those who rendered relentless efforts
to make this Album a grand succes."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:43pm Gary:

I think I saw that collection at Academy maybe
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:44pm holland oats:

drumma! peoples! belated check-in!
  6:44pm jessie:

Mingus sounds amazing on the other side of the planet, and so do you hon!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:45pm Doug Schulkind:

Jessie! Jessie! Jessie! It's 10:45am Wednesday morning where you are, in case you didn't know.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:46pm Doug Schulkind:

@Gary
You must grab it, or have me send it to you. You pick.

Good evening, holland oats!

Showin up late

hi doug and friends!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:48pm Gary:

I don't think it's still there!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:50pm Doug Schulkind:

You're early for Jesse Kaminsky, Flash Strap!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:54pm Doug Schulkind:

I do NOT need an excuse to play this record as often as possible. National Puppy Day? I'll play the record. Arbor Day? It's spinning. Trump's inauguration day? Yup.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:54pm Gary:

Sublimey! This Sun Ra ...
  6:54pm jessie:

Hello from the future. And good news: So far, no new atomic explosions reported.
  6:55pm Dean:

This Sun Ra reminds me of a poster I saw frequently in a head shop in the early '70s: http://www.dpvintageposters.com/cgi-local/detail.cgi?d=2469

Arbor Day. I was in a band that went by that name.
Avatar 6:55pm Flash Strap:

Love this track, Doug. I stand with your stance of playing it for all seasons. it's a motherfucker
Avatar 6:55pm northguineahills:

Whew! I got here in time for an old time Sun Ra fave!
  6:56pm jessie:

Also has anyone else noticed that they have made the math questions you need to answer to post your comment easier? I feel just a little insulted.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:56pm Doug Schulkind:

Nice poster, Dean!

@Jessie
Remember that checklist you were supposed to go through when receiving a bomb threat at the Dept. of Justice?!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:57pm Doug Schulkind:

Hi there, NGH!
Avatar 6:58pm ndbob:

excellent show Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:58pm Doug Schulkind:

Classic call-and-response.
  6:59pm Dean:

I'll recommend it my kid's choir teacher.

Thank you all, motherfuckerlovers!

[Nice one, Gary.]
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:01pm Gary:

Thanks for the thrills, Senor Schulkind!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:01pm Jeff Golick:

My phone's battery died during Ra, and for a second there I hid under the table. That's entertainment!
