Chat is archived.

hi! welcome! I can't believe you're choosing ME over the inauguration!

Consider me dedicated. Interesting sounds

glad you made it! there will be some vague (and not so vague) allusions to the events later on, but I figured that, if you're listening, you're probably avoiding it for a reason

I'm listening to it as the background music to the inauguration

Ok garth brooks is on, g2g

what an upgrade: Three Doors Down to Garth Brooks!

I do love the Chris Gaines album, obvs

It is. Garth is a treasure. He put out a gay anthem in the early 90s and he has a beautiful voice.

Wprb over the inauguration every time!

did you know his first name is Troyal?

imagine being Troyal and going by Garth

Can't really watch video at workplace save for tiny screen phone viewing. So I prefer prb thanks for providing

I did not know, Elliot.

This is the perfect background to the poet Amanda Gorman

I'm sure I'd be saying the opposite if he went by Troyal Brooks

anyway, I'm buying tickets to the Troyal Brooks / Royal Trux co-headlining tour

this one's for you, Krista!

This is one of my favorites

A beautiful john prine cover

Wow never heard this cover. John Prine / Iris Dement made did this

Ha yeah, a cool cover for sure

I've never heard the cover! It's the song that is one of my favorites! Fantastic cover

Anyone ever see the movie he wrote this song for?

NO and it looks TERRIBLE😨 can't wait to watch it

Haha it's not bad!

Better than you think but yeah not a good movie for sure

Don't be zeuhl....

Billy Bob is a favorite of mine, I suffered through a whole season of that lawyer show he was in

Is it the movie where John Prine & John Mellencamp star?

It's fun to watch, prine is in it and Laura dern and Billy Bob, could be better but it's worth a watch, my favorite scene J's the car crash (don't worry didn't spoil anything)

Yeah we watched all of Goliath too! Had to. BBT and the feisty co star. She is great

*adds "movies where john prine and John mellencamp star"

In addition to*

They're marching into the capital to one of the flute's greatest marching band numbers

You got a reason to live

Well if you like Billy Bob no matter what you'll like it. And idk Brian, I don't think mellencamp is in it, is there anotber they're both in? But prine does have a minor roll

Oh yeah! The kick yer azzes lyric haha

I'm thinking of Fall From Grace. Mellencamp and Prine are in that film. Not sure if it is same one you all were referring to

FALLING not Fall. ..

TED CRUZ JUST SHOWED UP ON SCREEN!! YUCK

Thanks for that mic discussion/ got a lot to explore becuz of it :)

I realize I forgot to announce Chêne Noir! the perils of live radio

Croatia records is killing it recently

I wish it was my job to sift through every record bin

there's a huge back catalog of smooth Yugoslavian funk records still waiting to be discovered!

A question for the chat: is it bad manners to look at someone's record collection or bookcase when you enter their home?

I often do that Krista. But maybe i subconsciously "read the room" ...depends on person

I forgot what 'enter their home' means

Ha! True Elliot, but I'd lean towards yes as the default, I feel like people with a collection like talking about their collection. So I guess it depends on how you do it, idnyoire curious and not just trashing it or being pretentious

I'd often get lost in book & record shelves as a kid. Kept me busy while the adults talked

There is a bookstore in Flemington that has an outdoor bargain cart

That's probably lost a bit to this generation Brian.. and yeah just don't be ongo gablogian lol

Missed this song last week, glad you decided to play it again!

Then later people that worked in record or bookstores would keep coming up to me asking if I needed help. One time i nicely informed a record store employee that i would be there for about 4 or 5 hours and that i am fine thanks

@krista I guess the only bad manners is when u frown when u realize they aren’t the slightest bit PRB listener :(

I got Light in August by Faulkner last week from the cart, and I am bowled over

Oh and btw the movie we were talking about is called daddy and them brian

@Brian, I do the same at bookstores and the last time I was at the WPRB archives last year I crouched on the floor for hours

Okay. I looked further into the cast on Falling from grace.... Claud Akins from Sheriff Lobo! Kay Lenz of motorcycle movie 70s not so fame

Sounds like me Krista!

Been reading a lot of Thomas Berger the past year

PARDON ME

I was just about to comment that

your song is perfect and we laughed and popped champagne

Literally that's what we did

this jam is nasty good!

when I heard this song, I felt like the radio gods had rewarded me for a virtuous life

@brian did u read Berger’s neighbors / turned Into belushi ackroyd movie ?

You bet

*adds "Berger's neighbors/turned into belushi ackroyd movie" to the watch list*

Watch Neighbors after midnight Krista. That enhances it.

Haha b forewarned about neighbors probably had the most cocaine ever consumed on a movie shoot !

Song about cocaine requested, Elliot

I gotta pick up the book now

I love that movie. Not everyone in the cast did & critics did not treat it well. But Neighbors holds a special place for me

They're doing militaristic trombone moves on the tv

The drum major's hat is chef's kiss

Deviant dancefloors are the best dancefloors

Haha the stories about movie r almost as good as the movie itself / may have been the most dysfunctional movie set of all time too

Berger sometimes writes dialogue for some characters that is similar to JK Toole's Ignatius Reilly character. Very hoity toity, big HUGE words. Etc. Earl (Belushi role in film) is more like that style in the book

Belushi last movie :(

That and Continental Divide.

Berger wrote Little Big Man too (Dustin Hoffman in film)

My roommate went as ignatius for Halloween a few years ago

He described a neckbeard before the term was created

Kennedy O'toole that is

And speaking of confederacy great nyER article about toole this month/ lotta misperception about him

Sneaky People good too. Meeting Evil was great. I think that was made into a film as well. That takes place in one day. Lots of bad decisions with bad people. Love those stories

Currently reading Berger's take on the Arthurian legend "Arthur Rex". Loving it!

Also read this year The Houseguest. Who Is Teddy Villanova. The Feud. All Berger. All were a lot of fun for me. On a roll last year

*last year

I'm scanning the list, I don't think I've ever read a Berger book

it's been too long since I've read a book of fiction :'(

Burger books, yes, the grilling cookbook selection at mercer county library, ewing branch is extensive

I did read a newly-(ish)-discovered Kurt Vonnegut short story this weekend, though!

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/10/kurt-vonnegut-the-drone-king/537870/

Keep it up Brian! I gotta make more time to read, I got more in this year than others but still..and isn't neighbors the one Fear was brought in on?

I'm also reading player piano for the first time right now by vonnegut

Also binged many Elmore Leonard books in past few years. Time to go back & read em again

The industrial machinist detail is great

And I’ll HIGhLY recommend cat’s cradle/ reread it recently for first time in decades / beware of ice nine !!

@elliot, it is someone's job to sift through vonnegut's papers????

I love cats cradle

Like an ACDC song Elmore has a formula and it works! But he did more than straight up crime books.

Haha reread if u haven’t in awhile / that short book is packed !!

I think so! he has a dedicated library in Indianapolis

The hand that stocks the drugstores rules the world

That's from the bokoyok??? (Can't remember the name of the religious book)

Lotsa Hoosiers in cats cradle :) Cornell grad too

I had no idea such a job was possible

Bokanism ??

What was the commercial where Kurt V was drinking coffee and ELO song playing back in 80s....

Hmmm don’t remember that one ...

I love this @Elliot, good to hear it again

Aha... looked it up "Join the coffee achievers '

oh no! was it on a show of yours recently? :O

I gotta think b4 I consult mr google

I'm not sure, it was in my preview pile the same show as vlasek and I think the pyotrs

Not oh no!

Wow Bowie and Vonnegut slangin coffee, no idea that existed

@brian thanks for the coffee commercial heads up !! What an amazing piece of 80s zeitgeist/ no wonder we have Starbucks on every corner:)

Is the bee picture originally in his papers or is it added by the Atlantic?

he could draw, but I don't think that's his

and the indie coffee shops that we should prefer & patronize !

@krista in case ur wondering that’s what’s called a typewriter in the KV picture;)

Haha Mark, little do you know the millennial fascination with typewriters

I don't know EXACTLY how they work but I love the ribbon and pushing the buttons

And the crank or the slider thing

Haha there’s a retro typewriter store in mt airey I recently visited!

WHAT

How did it smell? Could you still smell the ink behind the mask

Tessalations was very exciting

Lots of vintage typewriters she had a lot of stock / she was very old school and cautious/ we kept a 20 ft distance while outside :)

It’s near weaver way coop for anyone who gets on that area

"ecstatic science" is a FANTASTIC name for a record, reminds me of rumi, the pursuit of ecstasy is a beautiful thing whether religious or secular

Apparently not enough younger generation were drinking coffee in 80s. So The National Coffee Association put that out.

I used to date a man who roasted his coffee for his coffeeshop to different songs, he had them timed

they should have released the record on Ecstatic Peace!

It may have influenced me somewhat. I think I went from not liking the taste of coffee to LOVING it around that time. But I may have already started on the stuff

Haha how long were the songs to roast coffee to ?

My descent was from "I like my sugar with coffee and cream" to full on stovetop espresso perfecting my cortado but usually just drink french press

Depends on the roast, mark, and it wasn't to the ending of the song. Specific things would happen in the song, crescendos or shouted swears

@krista : possible theme set coffe roasts & their associated songs to roast to :)

Oh no, he's a DJ too, I couldn't do him like that

Hahaha 😆

KBEK in minnesota, sadly just folded. He did a great local Minnesota show

I like the Metallica whiskey making process. They have branded whiskey that the distiller ages in barrels that are exposed to their songs at high volumes to agitate the transfer of flavor from the wood. They show the diff playlists used for diff bottle releases. Good marketing

Hahahahaha elliot

Hahaha

I don’t know how this station/ chat can get any more interesting:)

Coffee prayers aanswered!

Lol, live!

@elliot, he brought up band alcohol

Elliot knows about Santana and his alcohol

I like that latter era ELO tune too. Good memory of hearing that on radio

Now everyone’s got me walking to the nearby indie coffee shop

Couchez toi a ton reve or something close to that

Shout out to the indie coffee shops!

@dude stay away from the evil empires!

I hope to someday have the turkish coffee made in containers set in hot sand

I make vietnamese coffee at home, too

I like this trend of 80s ads on PRB. Pat Clamor Club with his great Komisar Tainted Love segue! More more!

Oh now do I have to retire Steve Tibbetts?

Haha pass it forward to jon and even to Flex ?! Any Tibbets sludge ;)

Actually, kind of, yes. His Exploded View CD gets heavy.

Do the Soviet labels take bit coin ? wanna check out more of the looking glass stuff

I'm on smoko leave me alone! My fave Aussie yell of recent years

The place I am at in the shirt story he linked: set his glass down hard on the desk, and a deep, lazy, fuzzy buzzing sound came from inside.

The chats!

Perfect, no? Did Elliot plan this? Bravo Elliot

My favorite aussie yell is cooee

Not this song, but I've been digging them too Brian, and if course Mark! I've actually gotten too customers lately who recognized my wprb hat!

O other reading favorite of mine is David Thorne. Funny Aussie guy. The "picture of a spider to pay a bill" email guy from years back. Great funny short reads. If you've ever worked in an office environment i recommend

Omfg I LOVE him

Oh yeah that cartoon was pretty good

Or saga of his comic rather

so much has happened since I went away! thanks for making this afternoon so fun!

Thanks for the jams Elliot!

He puts out a book a year with stories, emails fake or not doesn't matter, observations on moving to USA etc

He is right up my alley

And for audio humor i binge Longmont Potion Castle pranks

It's 1 thing to prank on phone. Another to really have fun with language and dated audio delay effects

He's the one with recordings of dogs or was it sucks?

Ducks*

As long as no one gets hurt

He has many releases over 30 or 40 years

Related tangentially to funny internet spider guys the "how does a daddy long legs make a life" man KILLS me every time

He likes certain words and really grabs onto them. Like "nougat" . Great fake names too. Fennel Cartwright. Frickey Weaver.

And the warped harmonizer repeated vocals... Love

Lol Longmont! Was talking about him with friends just last week, the clown motel one is good

Yes!

Gonna spread everything out

My weights!

Can you retrofit me in like a swamp donkey kind of outfit?

Lol, I'm the one leading the chaaarge, his pacing, tone, calmness is pretty great

Need a shot of bruschotti. And some freschetta.

@dude : coffee shop I was just in wasn’t playing PRB / when I find urs i know I’ll be at the nexus of the universe :)

there's nothing worse than learning about new things to listen to while I'm on air! I'll have to do some homework tonight

Ya the pronunciation on chaaaarge is great

I still have not found out how to rent or steam the Longmont documentary Where in the Hell is the Lavender House

Stream

Huh didn't know there was one but I'm on the hunt, will let you know if I find it. And Mark, thanks! Yeah this goes to everyone on the chat, if you ever make it to my coffee shop (and I'm the only employee) please mention the prb chat! And DJ's get coffee on me

That vonnegut story was 💯 worth the dramatic reading I just shouted at my boyfriend. So many hilarious bits and oddly touching, too.

Never gone squirrel hunting?

It's further down my list of lockdown hobbies

I still have to learn how to cross stich, then get bored with it, before I start hunting squirrels

I'm a real sucker for jams like this

Lol, Elliot I wasn't sure if you said watered with a Philly accent at first

Instead of Woodard, but agreed, love the jam

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia_English#Notable_examples_of_native_speakers

Also, Brian, apparently the creators of the lpc doc weren't big fans and it shows in the film? https://www.reddit.com/r/LongmontPotionCastle/comments/bncjs9/lavender_house_an_honest_review/?utm_source=reddit-android and you. And rent/stream it on Vimeo and YouTube

I love the list of 'Marginal speakers'

it feels like a passive aggressive insult

Lol same, Jill Biden on there? Lol

I love my philly accent, it's marginal though now

Just the phrase, marginal speakers of the Philly accent, is funny

This is a fine organ jam

I remember I did a UPenn study with my friend on the Philly accent, it was pretty fun, they pretty much just wanted to record us speaking

I miss my days of doing psychological studies for beer money

Baltimore is similar yet worlds different

They mentioned ball-di-more in the study , yeah , same same but different

Did youse drive your Tayota cross the Tycony bridge on the way deeown the sheeore?

And Elliot it's never too late to do random things for beer money!

Only on Sat-er-dys , when the cars RADiator wasn't broken

My girlfriend loves the accent but hates how radiator is said, and my mom can't not say it it's pretty funny

Keent buynee thing on Sundees deeown Oashin City

😂

My boyfriend has a Philly accent and people in Minnesota found him unintelligible at times

Ordering water at the restaurant they would just stare at hin

Ever see Bradley Cooper doing the Lee's hoagie commercial on some interview? It's pretty food

Good*

Djyouse havnee 64 keller Crayola crowns ta keller wid when youse were kids?

Totally Krista! Is he me? Had to stop saying wooder when I lived in Chicago, people legit did not know what I was saying

My son says "crayon" like me and "whoa der" like his dad

That wudder thing is crazy

Wood er

I'm making him say it now. "He dries himself off with a tail"

Lol, that was a joy to read and an accomplishment to type out

Keep it alive Krista! It's dying out ..

My parents n grandparents are from other places/ states so the Phila accent did not get into me

He would stubbornly ask for "jimmies" at the ice cream shop

But I love to imitate it and comment on it. I think Dead Milkmen helped bring it to the masses

@the_dude, I will, it's adorable! His mom is from grey's ferry so the accent is strong

They did! GF is from Virginia and loves dead milkmen and says her and her friends would crack up at it.. and nice Krista! Jimmies all the way

And lol thanks Elliot! That made my day

well, you made mine! I was speechless!

Ween song Shamemaker has a great Philly accent

And a great worm reference

That finance Cramer guy has the Phila accent too. Tina Fey loves to bust out her accent too on occasion in skits n shows

Yes the worm reference!

Tina Fey visits my boyfriend's parent's neighbors, they tell me every time I see them

We're about same age. I loved when she said 'haha yer burnt' as an insult on tv

Which is now...only outside and fleeting

A great childhood memory

Great show / great chat Dave to Elliot now onto Kat !!

Thanks for listening and chatting! Stay tuned for weird northern European folk (probably)

Elliot this has been great. Thank you for playing the Vonnegut coffee ad! Only here.... thanks to all for great conversation & recommendations as always

@krista i betcha u get some funny looks w Midwest accent in philly / i do at times

Cheers everyone! Thanks for the fun time and quality DJing Elliot, community radio at it's finest!

And I wanna be there for surprise Tina fey visits!
