Hey, y’all! Hope you all are doing well, and hope you enjoyed the last two weeks worth (including last week’s rerun of Herbie Mann. I’ve got a real neat show lined up for you this evening!
Let’s see what we’ve got on the schedule tonight…
…
oh. oh no.
THE PLANET MAN HAS INVADED. THE DANTRO IS UPON US. DOOM IS INEVITABLE.
The heavens rumble. The clouds part. A terrifying visage of some stoner from Philadelphia beckons forth. HEY PIPER, the infernal voice screeches. YOU DIDN’T PLAY PLANET MAN AFTER OUR SET LAST MONTH. WHAT THE FUCK, CAT.
Welp.
Yeah, this one’s more of an apology to the infernal Trashgodz1 (aka the noise demo kids who have a show right before mine every first Tuesday of the month) than a proper takeover, but still. As an apology for depriving our beloved Philly-based basement-dwellers of what is apparently their favorite show we’ve ever broadcast on Talkie Time, we’ve got an entire fucking three-hour set worth of Planet Man episodes.
We’ll be continuing our past two wonderful adventures with what I have affectionately been referring to as “Cowboy Dan in space”. You can click those links if you wanna know more about this, for some reason. I’m just here to make sure I don’t have a knock on my door that’s followed by a pipe bomb stuffed in a Wawa bag careening through my window.
Next week, we’ll be back to regular programming, I promise. No, we aren’t playing more Planet Man next week. Please stop pelting my car with chopped cheeses.
aaaaaand that about covers this week’s show! Next week, we’ll be stuck in Sherlock’s home turf under the English gloom, and then heading out to catch some Soular rays before the summer’s over.
(Can you guess what we’re playing next week from these clues? The Talkie Time one may be a bit obscure, but some thinking and searching on Discogs might give you a clue as to the Jazz Program one. If you have a guess, email me at piperbomb (at) protonmail (dot) com. If you can, I’ll give you a shoutout on-air!)
If you’re reading this the day of, and you can make it in tonight, you should come hang out in the chat with us on Datafruits! We’ve got a good crowd of folks in the chat every week, and whether you have a suggestion for a future show or just want to hang out and chat with fellow jazz enjoyers, you’re welcome here with us.
You’re all amazing and don’t let anyone tell you that you’re not. Stay safe out there, and I’ll see you back again next week. Same time, same station: on datafruits dot fm..

Not sure where to put this, but I’d be remiss to not let you all know that the Trashgodz kids now have a monthly zine that serves as kind of a companion to their monthly show and/or their plans for world domination. Consider this a co-sign from a fellow noise-adjacent punk. Go give it a read. ↩︎
