Chat is archived.

Well, here we are. This show was recorded on Sunday and...yeah.

yep...and I thought I had turned off all my apocalyptic premonitions for a while

Glad to have you on board tonight, Jimbeaux. Now more than ever.

...and alkibar gignor brings the fire!

Yeah, I wish I could enjoy these songs a little more right now. I'm doing accounting to keep my mind off things. ACCOUNTING!

Hello Jon. Welcome back. This African music is great!

(tosses handkerchief over accounting degree)

desperate times call for desperate double entry figure balancing...

Oh, chatters! It is so great to see you here. I'm lying on the floor!

It would appear you've come undone.

It isn't great at Ice Station Solomon tonight.

Maybe too soon for Louis CK radio humor mentions ? :)

I don't think any of us will ever hate Louis CK with the fire Andy Kindler does, so I deem it totally OK.

Haha that’s fantastic answer / bad publicity for him € no publicity!

* >

Headphones w the stream audio and car radio audio simultaneously. Interesting. Not annoying

Could be quite interesting for this song in particular.

A half second or so off but on the beat

Since ice station zebra is unattainable for most I’m grateful for the Solomon version / HNY after that great marathon!

The tap tap... holds it together.

Thanks, Mark. The Ice Station is basically back to pre-Xmas settings. Hope to get some more permanent gear for future live excursions.

Hey DJ Jon! *waves* Happy New Year! It's great to hear you back on Thursday nights.

Hey to all the fine people in the chat 👋

Hi Christine check ur calendar tho ?!

Hey hey CD.

I made same mistake on another show last week :)

LOL! So true. Yep, that's about how today has been going.

After today’s news stories not surprised u hope it’s already tomorrow:)

Love the idea of listen to stream and radio / a tiny bit of time travel w the delay

And makes 4 an interesting sound :)

Like singing in a round!

Again I say that Forsyth track was great. Built up nicely.

Yeah, incredible sound for a live track!

I did have to unplug headphones and of course not post here in order to drive

Appreciate it. Safety first.

Must admit i was PRB chatting while on my bicycle this fall. Not on road...on bike path.

Wow! I've done it while walking and did pull over once to add something to another DJ's chat...

New playlist does make it much safer to check later knowing there's a time correlation :)

Seriously. I heard something Krista played on my way to school yesterday I forgot to chime in about until right before her show ended but I am glad I remembered.

Hey jimbeaux, Brian D & Mark, the time stamps on the playlist really do help.

Snag it, chat! - https://jacobcmckelvie.bandcamp.com/album/heres-what-you-do

I have a running list of all the tracks that really wow me (and yes, there are a lot) from all the PRB shows.

Me too. One of my favorite records from 2020 I wouldn't have known about w/o Hanna playing it.

I figure we all have our running lists, right? 📝 Thanks to DJ Hanna and all the DJs.

Speaking of bike path and green space I’m going to the Philadelphia rail park on friday/ anyone else bike it or around it ? Didn’t i see u dj’d there jon?

I was at the rail park over a year ago for the free Joshua Abrams concert.

Ha live concerts who remembers what those were like. I’ll be streaming as I’m on it

I watched it from the parking garage two stories up so actually it was fairly distanced (if it wasn't for all the other people doing the same thing).

Just had the one year anniversary of the last show I went to. Unreal.

PE in full effect

Can’t wait until we’re even back to that level / end of Jan for my last indoor - I think Nick millevoi was part of the band :)

That certainly hits different then when I put the show together.

Nick emailed me today about a pizza place in South Jersey I am now very curious to try when this is all over.

Great show so far / looking forward to next 2 hrs and then the sludge/ take care

Thanks, Mark. Please stay well.

PE was great "Walking in place workout" music. Gotta get the steps, kicks and marches in after work

And during work sometimes thanks to the stand up desk.

As a south Jersey resident and pizza fan, do you mind sharing the name of the recommended place?

Nice. I was mostly matching up checks on the floor, but I did get a (way windy) 1.5 mile walk in with my wife after lunch.

Steve, let me look it up!

http://backdoor-pizza.com

Ahhhhhhhh yes

Out of the backdoor of Farm & Fisherman, ha

He said it was great, but also trying to keep it on the DL so his spot doesn't get overrun with Pizza Yahoos.

I have been trying to up my homemade pizza game

I've heard good things from people I trust, haven't taken the time to check it out quite yet

Mum's the word

I would be better if I could get into the whole feeding the batch eternal continuous dough making thing.

I haven't gotten to that point yet. I do like to get a nice 4-5 day rise going in the fridge, though. I have the ability to sit and let time pass down pat.

But I can do a quick-ish pie enough to satisfy the ever growing hunger for pizza

Brian, have we talked homemade pizza in the chat before? Once we started doing the Beddia dough recipe, everything else came together.

And thank you, Jon.

It takes 2-3 days but it really is "restaurant quality."

Yes Steve. That is about my speed. If I could oil up some and keep them in the fridge a week I would be great

Thanks for the tip Jon! I will look that Beddia up

Here's the recipe. The cookbook is quite good but we mostly just use the dough and figure out the rest on our own - https://www.inquirer.com/food/craig-laban/philly-chefs-recipes-pizza-cookbooks-home-cooking-family-kitchen-laban-20200320.html

I was watching some good videos on YT from Adam Ragusea

Great! Copied and put in the recipe files!

Excellent. Let us know how it goes.

come for the tunes stay for the kitchen tips

That's the WPRB way.

that setup is what my uncles would call "rustic"

The box has since been put in the recycling.

I since got my mic clip back from the kind folks who lent me all my Xmas marathon gear.

ah good :)

I know I said this up top but tonight I am very appreciative for this listener chat. It is nice to have somewhere virtual to gather on this terrible day.

agreed. nowhere better to escape than music & community

Yeah, I would have done a very different playlist if I could have a second try at this but this song is soothing.

Checking in on some DC friends now. A pal who works at the Library of Congress said the whole building was locked down. She's home today but a bunch of pals were still inside last I heard.

that must be terrifying

Can't even imagine.

Beautiful. Sounds Malian

This is another one from the monthly Saharan WhatsApp EP series. If you missed any, I can provide with pleasure.

I gotta get on that Saharan WhatsApp apparently. I eat this stuff up

That's right you played some earlier from one of these comps

Yeah. Each month's comp was replaced by the following month's comp so I think only November is up at present but I have them all.

Here's the most recent one - https://oyiwane.bandcamp.com/album/music-from-saharan-whatsapp-11

Thanks

This is nasty. GOOD nasty.

Oh, this is good. Jon, your show and tonight's chat is a definite bright spot today, and I am here for it.

Thanks, CD. This entire Rebecca Musson record is really compelling.

One last marathon note before it fades too far in the past: hearing lidstrom for the 1st time w no idea how it was going to unfold was a near transcendental experience / it was a beyond amazing communal event !

Oh wow. That's incredible Mark. Someone told me there's a remix version that is "only" 16 minutes long I need to hear.

Haha no the 40+ version I’m sure all listeners would agree is their favorite:)

100%. I just want to know more about this remix!

Well, this show was a profoundly weird shared experience tonight. Thanks for joining me and may things be markedly different (in a good way) next Wednesday evening!

Thank you Jon...great show!

Be well, Jimbeaux! Was that you who commented about my hike yesterday on Instagram? Only now realized it might be one and the same!

Thanks Jon! Good tunes indeed. I can't wait to seek out the Saharan Whats App mixes
