Greetings and Salutations!

wow cool studio

candles seance time

S'up gang! Welcome back to the show that (seemingly) never ends.

That’s an awesome set up! #Jealous

sweet jam

Ahh, shit, meant to turn that off.

Aaaand, for those of you who just had to peer into my face, you may have figured out that I don't know how to do that.

So ignore the YouTube chat and keep things centered here, if ya would!

sure no prob

Hey DJ Mike *waves* What's with the live webcam tonight in the Doom Pantry?

oh im likin the vibe of this show

Hello, fine people in the chat 👋

can we simply subtitle this - freeform pathogen - mellow candle edition

Hey Christine! Just another one of my bad ideas. Don't get used to it, just figured it was time to rip away the mystique of Ye Olde Doomsdaye Pantry.

Also, if you suddenly hear me playing a nordic metal cover of "Here Come the Warm Jets", that means my home internet is overloaded so please let me know here so that I can kill the webcam. Radio ALWAYS comes first.

Okie dokie!

nope cant see it -

Yeah, I thought that was the case. Lemme try without the plastic. Maybe less glare?

I like those plastic LP protectors!

Cool!

Oooh, saw the webcam...it's cozy in the sonic sausage factory!

Hahaha, Dave. Decomposing LP sleeves are the enemy of anyone with allergies.

Hey Jimbeaux!

Needs light source on items in front of camera

Ah-chooooo!

Yo mike christine dave space MrM!

Hello jimbeaux!

i love the zero lighting in your doomsday pantry

Hi Christine Duffy!

hey if doomsday comes - it looks like you lbe pretty comfy records candles - white lights - your all set

Plus lots of doomsday groceries. Shelf-stable, of course.

hi jimbeaux!

maybe its the candles - but so far this is my fave edition of the pathegeon

Hi MrM! 💀

ohhhhh yeahhh this is the good stuff

There they ARE!

honey - im just going out to get some doomsday groceries

gimme them Warlox!

Yo Pseu! Yep your post last week put 'em back at the top of my mind.

ok but be back before doomsday

nice

ummm yes yes yes -

unfortunately with the camera - mike will be to inhibited to do an uninhibited cosmic frug

ohh this is the stuff

Yeah, I never frug on camera.

Good policy.

YESSS

i do see some head nodding - that will be an implied frug

I know there's a lot going on: don't drink the candle.

Haha, I see you are a regular here.

yeah especially on camera

oh good a special guest

there for some spoken word no doubt

soooooo that was the perfect set

HEY ROWAN!

so what does rowan want to hear does she get to request

Good question, Space Cowboy.

*waves* Hi, Rowan!

the off from school part

what is the name of the new fish

barb barbo and r2 d2 and glitter

goode fish names

That sounds like a fun menagerie

HIII!!!

sure its the holidays why not

Kidz at the kontrolz! 🐱🐓🐓🐓🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐡

Web Can🗑

a nice murderous year toast

the most angry looking fish needs to be named MrMalcontent. Like the dietary biscuits.

That was a fun moment in Radio History! #DJ•Daughter!

Very cool, DJ Mike. I don't know how you do all this simultaneously.

In the next set, I will do all of the above while dangling over a pool of lava and playing a tiny saxophone. (I think I made this same joke last week.)

That's just showing off. 😄

MrM, the kid did a full radio show with me about 1.5 years ago. She goes deep with the Bowie picks, and also likes cooler PJ Harvey songs than I do. She also thought Pax was super cool.

I mean, not like she's wrong.

DJ MikeLupica, that is awesome! 😎 Don’t send that one to boarding school after all!! 🤪

was a pleasure hearing from the youngin'

Thanks Pseu. I think she's simultaneously impressed and weirded out by the fact that there's a radio station in her garage now. Somethin' to tell her friends when(ever) she gets back to school.

Can we get DJ•Daughter to pick out Bowie and PJ Harvey tracks for tonight?? Huh!?! Yeah?!?

She's got me committed to doing a full show together at some point in the future. All in good time...

I hope she’ll get a chair and a beverage.

Oh, this track is fun.

hey, there's probably much worse shit at the neighbor's house

That was a very enjoyable first hour of nice tunes! Thanks, DJ MikeLupica!

Excellent point, Pseu.

Thanks MrM!

Just popped out of frame to light another stick of the incense that smells like a Catholic mass.

AMEN

JUANA ON FIRE.

For realz, Jimbeaux. She ROOLZ.

Baby's on 🔥

If it reminds you of Mass, it could be frankincense.

Dunno if you could see that, but you are correct!

SPARKLE DIVISION?

Yep! But just prior to that I flashed the frankincense incense box, to Christine's theory.

Yes, saw that too! Need 3 more seconds at the camera for things to get enough time for focus. 👍

I've been over-frankinsenced in Catholic masses of my youth, so I remember it well.

#samesies

Thanks for the tech tip, Malc! I shall try to steady the hands for a few moments more next time.

Over-myrrhed, too, i bet!

i thought thsi show had a frankincense vibe to it

Actually, wait -- I misspoke! It's the "Red Dragon" flavor that smells like a Catholic mass. The frankincense one be all like Nat King Cole.

and i was right

punk rock yard cut - risky but worth it

DJ MikeLupica, you’re great in every way! I’m dazzled at everything that goes into making radio at home! Well done, Sir! Thanks for the behind the scenes adventure!

FunWithVinyl!!

sweet ----

oh this is a good one

WPRBEEGEES

Ahhh hahaha!

This is a really good song to play in the bottom of a 5000 gallon steel tank.

Video embed in the playlist = good idea!!

anyone else see Conductor MikeLupica??

Hey Jon! Why are you awake? 25 hours on the radio would KILL me.

DJ JonSolomon, you should still be asleep!!

SEE????

Christmas was like three days ago!

I’d still be asleep until the new year.

this song goes well with incense

🎶 this pretty 🎼

not to be a pill -but isnt that one candle close to the wprb poster?

#firesafetywithspacecowboy

I’m pretending they are all battery operated.

Just moved it back a few inches. Thanks!

Juice in the video streaming laptop is down to 39%. Not sure if it's gonna make it 'til 11. Nailbiter!

BeeGee doc is on hbomax

Yeah, I'm capped at three streaming services (which is two too many, according to my annoying values), so gonna have to wait before I catch that one, I guess!

#Samesies

Hear ya -luckily I have someone who I can use their account.

A good friend to have!

PS. I’m late to incense convo... was in car when it was going but I’m sandlewood or patchouli all the way

And it’s Scents not Flavors!! Don’t eat the incense!

BAND NAME!!

#teamflavors

adios me sleep now- good show

The delay between radio and video is like a bad dubbed movie pretty funny.

Two amazing band names in a row!

See ya Space Cowboy!

Cheers, Space Cowboy!

Alia, all of this actually happened six weeks ago.

Dang, then I really missed it!

YES! Thanks for playing this

Which one? Eddy Current? I love this song.

Wow, already two hours of nice tunes!! Good on ya, DJ MikeLupica!!

Yes, thank you! Eddy Current. Big UPS!

Something made him tired that he needed a break on that chair. Maybe jumping on trampoline in tux?

Let’s do this!

Enjoying this one

Big Blood!

this cover rn af

Thanks Alia! Just checked the video streaming laptop. Battery is at 17%. Probably gonna die before 11, so if there's anything you ever wanted to ask me to do on camera, now's the time.

Agree, malc. Kingly.

I never heard them do this cover. Awesome

Their covers are godhead.

Fire Marshal Space Cowboy and I would like to see you blow... out those candles. HaHA. Seriously.

You're gonna have to go with me kissing the John Cale LP. Candles get blown out at 11.

THAT's what that was! Okay.

Roll call of all the shit that made me cry in 2020 before 11.

hugs and kisses

This song's been makin' me weepy for years.

It has power.

It's like a Christmas record that has nothing to do with Christmas.

💜💜💜

PRINCE 👑💜🎸

💜💟💜💟

nice mood from this set of songs

Agreed

"Drink banana daquiries 'til I'm blind...

😭😭😭

Aww, CAT 🐈!! 💔❤️

is the laptop battery dead?

It took a minute to load, but signal acquired!

It’s an excellent idea!

Next week: Yes, WebCam. With Battery operated candles. And a tune from Nat King Cole.

Battery @ 4%!

Was the battery at 100%??

Catch ya next week! Thanks for some great sets🥳 ciao

Battery 🔋 died 😢

Catch ya laters, AliaPalumbo

Thanks Alia! And thanks everyone who hung out tonight. Just cut the video webstream with 1% battery power. Let's all cry to Killah Priest.

Cheers Dears and even those with Big Ears!

Big CHEERS to you, DJ MikeLupica!! Kind regards to you, Sir!

Thanks for another memorable Freeform Pathogen

...from the Doom Pantry!

Thanks Malc! Thanks Christine! See ya all in 2021!

New mission, don't forget to charge the school lappy's battery before school o'clock

Good plan, Colin. It was at 100% when I started, but I guess streaming sucks up a lot of CPU power.

Thanks for playing this, DJ Mike.

It's soooo good.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 🎊🥂🍾

Thx mike!

Cheers Jimbeaux!
