is this the night mike l finally does his 20 minute spokenword piece

Hey DJ Mike, how are things in the Doomsday Pantry?

Hey, Space Cowboy 👋

Greetings and Salutations!

Space Cowboy, that's how most of my fiercest critics describe a garden variety Mike Lupica mic break.

Hey Christine! Hey MrM! Doing good, hope y'all are getting by in these crazy days.

I’m doing Good Enough! When one is BoNkErS like me, these “crazy” days seem *normal! Cheers!☕️

@mike ha!

hey christine - @ mike im tired of fierce critics i really am

I wasn't counting, but wouldn't be surprised if last week's Columbia House Record Club sticker story was part of a break that topped 20 minutes.

If so, I am not proud of this!

yeah that was a good one keep up the good work -

ahh the columbia record club - some say in a small way wprb is like the columboa record club - bringing inn ew music and for less then a penny

This set is shaping up to be a vibe, but don't worry -- pace will be picked up shortly. Weird day, weird week, need a longer windup tonight.

new

Great slogan for our next fundraiser!

I’m in a weird mood, so this is PERF

yeah this is a fine vibe

Agreed.

long mic breaks are fine --- who cares - plus under ground dj magazine rated your mic breaks as - as-just swell and better then those other jerks

evening, pit crew!

S'up, Factorial!

👋 Hey, DJ Julia!

who are these dudes?

and how did i miss them in 1988

Beatnigs -- at least a few of 'em later wound up in Disposable Heroes of HipHopracy and then Michael Franti & Spearhead.

Though in fairness, I am accessing VERY OLD memory tapes when I say all of that, so probably worth verifying with another source who got more than three hours of sleep last night.

3 hours?! I hope you took a 7 hour nap this afternoon!

Thank you for a little cleansing Gang of Four tonic.

Heck yeah. Always relevant, seemingly.

You did put together a very nice start to the show! For realz, get more sleep tho!

Yeah, I got at least 4 hrs sleep! I didn't think MrM slept cuz he's on chat at 4AM Pacific time.

I’ll sleep when I’m dead!

an early b-hole surfers on A.T.

also victims family

totally solid

i wish dylan was this loose

or rather - this slinky

he is - he's been faking it as a grouchy old dude- secretly he's a real pip

Haha, Jimbeaux I think you get a recognition dinner for the first Victims Family reference of 2021.

You want slinky? Gonna follow this up with another Dylan cover because WHO DOESN'T LOVE THEMES.

Prediction, next song will get this show into gear.

Oh, this is how you follow up Bryan Ferry!

I like to think he would approve, but who knows with that guy.

wtf do *we* know?!? 🎶🎵📀🧿

[album title] 😃

Yeah, they blew the whole budget on the packaging: https://www.discogs.com/Automatic-Head-Detonator-What-The-Fuck-Do-You-Know/release/6868549

Welp, if each track is 12 mins, then we can understand they were tired by the time decisions for packaging were necessary. 😇

they go hard in the paint

Q&MP present...Flossie & the Unicorns!

quintron and jc superstar somehow that goes together

Would give any major organ to hear Quintron and MPC cover the whole thing.

Yeah, Kurt Vile 💜

They would do it as a puppet show.

💜💜💜This song💜💜💜

hey christine!

And I would watch that puppet show, Jimbeaux.

"I proceeded to brush some stranger's teeth / But they were my teeth." Freaky dissociation there.

Hi jimbeaux!

Yesssssss! The Fall

Mahhk E. Smiff...uttering the unutterable.

sweaty palm record bois

Holy hell, I just realized I actually do have another Alternative Tentacles release in the pile tonight. Comin' up next.

GARY FLOYD!

The one and only! WHAT. A. VOICE.

need to dig out Sister Double Happiness

They were way underrated. I didn't "get" them at the time, but those records are super. This Black Kali Ma record is from 20ish years ago, and similarly great.

Franklin! Philly boys. My friend Roy was in the band until 1995.

Awesome band! Used to talk to their singer (Ralph) at shows and such. Saw his old(er) band (The Random Children) at a JC Dobbs matinee roughly four million years ago!

Ralph is alllllriiiggghhht!

Prayers for DJ MikeLupica in London

💙💙💙 Appropriate

this is twisted...bizarre heartbeat sound

Amen.

guess that's the organ's single RHYTHM button

Even weirder when you read about how she was pals with Anton Levey!

whaaaaaa? guess anton was an organ player, too

The grass is greener.

Hey Mike!

Jimbeaux, get ready -- another heartbeat song.

love those thunkathunka rhythms!

Thanks for the Courtney Barnett. 🇦🇺 Gtlreat show tonight, Mike. Sleep deprivation or no!

*Great*

Thanks Christine! Definitely been a weird one. So much hanging in the balance right now, hard to sleep, hard to focus. Cheers to NEXT WEEK.

more hip-shaping kraut next week, pls

Damn straight, gotta lose my Covid weight with German exercise records.

DJ MikeLupica! Many thanks and kind regards to you, Sir! Cheers Dears and even those with Big Ears!

Thanks all! See ya next week!
