listening back at the park and I’m on one of my topics again - the Spaga show is low-key a Basis show

I love this one too - the “drop zones” for the NYE run in ‘06, basically a small poster sized sticker you can peel and slap on a wall

square poster divided in four quadrants, each depicting an overhead photo of a music venue and surrounding neighborhood for concerts by the disco biscuits on 12/28,29,30,31/2006, the Sonar, the TLA, the Tweeter Center and the EFactory

note: we have friends with an identical variant of that copters poster except with the correct spelling for the UPenn show, so someone must have caught the error and ordered a reprint lmao

same poster, except the date and show details are for 10/29/99 at UPenn and they spelled millennium correctly

here’s an example of a more show-specific but way less cool photocopied paper jawn for the same show

Disco biscuits 8.5x11 photocopy style show bill for October 28, 1999 at the Recher Theater has a picture of an astronaut. The opening guests are Jive Talking Robots

we were discussing the ole bisco street team - here is an example of a flyer used for a whole ass tour, in this case the epic Recher Spaga show

street team poster for the Disco Biscuits fall 99 tour say “Musical Shapeshifters for the next Millenium” with millennium misspelled. the digital art is three rotorless helicopters flying thru a city

Pick 5 for what I first read on the poster too quickly as “ReactorBeam” Reactor The Great Abyss x DMT Rocket Ship x On Time In This Bih Quad D

preview of poster for tonight’s 7/9/26 TractorBeam show has handwriting that can be interpreted as ReactorBeam if you are kinda dyslexic and look too fast. There’s also floating eyes around a UFO beaming the word “BEAM” at the ground

idk the schedule but we are speculating this implies Biscuits video at ~6 on this channel

I learned last night there are purists that might not count Rialto because it’s not a full set, but I can’t buy that definition as it would disqualify perhaps the greatest palindrome, “the Fan Set,” which was the pre show fan vote winner that followed tHotDB pt 1

000

Hip Drop Segue @phillydebevec.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

we explored a few almost-palindromes and questioned definitions this #DromeWeek ‘26, but we’ll close this year with one that should be uncontroversial, Rialto 2002 #B4L

second set includes Voices Insane > Basis for a Day > I-Man > Above the Waves > I-Man > Basis for a Day, which is a nice palindrome after Voices

120

Hip Drop Segue @phillydebevec.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

this Bisco Inferno set is one of the best almost palindromes - the Bazaar Escape that messes up the sequence is sick af

Hip Drop Segue @phillydebevec.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

6-28-26 today’s Biscuits #DromeWeek question for the line drawers is whether/when we accept a two-song palindrome? I say yes if there is a three-part or five-part piece (A>B>A>B>A) but what if both songs have two dyslexic pieces A>B, B>A (see example 4)?

131

Hip Drop Segue @phillydebevec.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

6-27-26 here’s another almost-but-not-quite-unless-you-stare-at-it-for-a-while palindrome that’s extra funny to me because it’s at the Hippodrome and on 9-11-9. #DromeWeek #B4L

Biscuits setlist from 9/11/09 at the Hippodrome in Baltimore includes this almost palindrome in set 1:

Mindless Dribble > Spacebirdmatingcall > And the Ladies Were the Rest of the Night > Mindless Dribble > Spacebirdmatingcall

Hip Drop Segue @phillydebevec.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

for today’s #DromeWeek entry here is a palindrome set in a show written by Jordan for his last show - Brownie joins the end of this jawn for one of several “band reunion” shows (including Electron at the Troc and Camp 2)

set 1 of this show is a palindrome:
The Overture > Aceetobee > Once the Fiddler Paid > I-Man > Once the Fiddler Paid > Aceetobee > The Overture

Hip Drop Segue @phillydebevec.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

I’m not aware of a Biscuits resource for almost-palindromes but they seem to happen all the time! at San Diego this year it went down twice in one show, with ITEWHF and Abraxas breaking the sequences #DromeWeek

two near-miss palindromes on the setlist 4/16/2026

6-21-26 and I almost forgot it’s #DromeWeek! here’s a sick Robots palindrome second set with You and I busted out at the inflection point from my 300th show during the recent Ardmore half dozen

for those of you following along at home, Marc the bassist from the Disco Biscuits split in 2000 after their best shows ever (weird right?) and he then had a band Electron while the Biscuits played shows without him - then the Biscuits basically regrouped at this Electron show

for reference for those following along at home this is CWB the whole thing but mixed with other songs - it’s a CWB

I love the violence of starting a fantasy set with an inversion - you know how I believe this is a thing but you may need to fight off 6-7 guys saying an internet definition means it’s not possible. Just remind them of this:

a disco biscuits setlist from 7/24/2005 that consists of only an inverted Above the Waves out of a series of jams
