    Is her show available online?

    Each show is archived for one magical week, before disappearing forever into the ether, unless an alien civilization picks up the broadcasts in thousands of years.  (Radio waves theoretically travel indefinitely.)

    The show is called Surface Noise on www.wmnf.org, and she just won programmer of the year. Surface Noise primarily focuses on late-70s/early-80s punk and new wave, along with genres that led to this, such as 60s garage and glam, and stuff inspired by this.  It also includes a segments titled "Your Weekly Todd" and "The Bowie Votive."  

    Finally there is "The Cocktail Mix" in the last 15 minutes of the show, during which she may spin anything including jazz, standards, Latin, Brazilian, exotica, space age, spy, crime, French Pop, Moog, sitar, outer space.  She sometimes does birthday tributes in these segments, hence my question for @GA Russell.

    But this week's cocktail mix will continue Earth Day recognition with a Brazilian aquatic theme, with Brazilian songs about frogs, ducks, fishermen, little boats, surfboards, and March waters.

    You can listen live on Saturdays 4pm - 6pm EST.

    TTK, is her show's music similar to yours? 

    Wide range of musical interests, as with me.  Good thing I found her.  I would have stayed single otherwise!

    I don't recall ever seeing a Chris Pratt movie.  I wouldn't recognize him on the street.  This is the modern idea of a silver screen star?

    Same here.  In fairness to the guy, pop culture has become much more fragmented than it used to be.  Instead of there being a smaller group of celebrities whom everyone knows, there are now zillions of celebrities whom are recognized only by certain segments of the population.

    “Perhaps a historic-cultural monument designation could have saved the Zimmerman house, or allowed the necessary time to delay demolition. Tragically, calls for preservation fell on deaf ears.”

    So hey. Apparently  Chris Pratt wasn't the only one who didn't give a shit, so don't blame him.

    I do blame him.  He could have bought a vacant lot, probably for cheaper than what he paid for this property plus the demolition.

    Third rate? Wiki: His films as a leading actor have grossed over $13 billion worldwide, making him one of the highest-grossing actors of all time. Pratt was named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2015.

    Yeah, maybe I was a little harsh. I'll be sure to check out Guardians of the Galaxy 4 and Super Mario Brothers when they come to the Criterion Channel. 😹

    " It’s the stuff that gets to you between about 12 and 25 that stays with you for life. You never absorb music in quite the same way after that.”

    So true ......

    Not true with this primate.  The stuff that made an impression on me occurred between ages 30-50.

    It did [Dolphin Dance]. Covered by both Ahmad Jamal & Grover, found in fake books, absorbed into the mainstream via osmosis.

    Maiden Voyage was my second Herbie Hancock album, Empyrean Isles being the first.  I got both circa my junior/senior years of high school.  This would have been very early 1980s.  I also had The Real Book by this time, and while I was no expert then - nor now, for that matter - my sense was that "Dolphin Dance" was one of Herbie's most well-known tunes, next to "Chameleon" and, a year or two later, "Rockit."

    I find the whole idea of vinyl only in 2024 truly bizarre. I mean I get offering it but vinyl ONLY? Do you want to sell the music or not?

    That's what's selling.  Even downloads don't sell much anymore.  Listeners in the aggregate either want vinyl, or they want to stream.
