The One Where I Listened To: some throwbacks and show classics to anticipate anachronistic trends and capture the inescapable fractured mandala that surrounds us, with a sprinkle of nice garage-y and prog tunes to lighten the mood a bit. honestly im lost in time so don't expect any consistency

Chat is archived.

Good morning everyone!! Welcome to the season finale??

Nice finale intro lol 😂

Good day from Denver! Rawk!

Always looking forward to hearing your selections. G'morn all

loll it was a gem of a skit from an online concert in november, glad you liked it!

morning corage and brian! always great to have you here

Yeeshhh... the main prb web page scared me into thinking that it was still Wednesday

Although I love the Wed schedule & djs

The days are still just bleeding together. When the DJ s change we certainly will think it’s Groundhog Day.

Whole new world there Mike

Fitting.

Game Stop is changing the temperature.

My wife owns Nokia, but not that one. To bad she likes to be a rebel.

oh yeah one of my biggest fears/ creeped out situations would be to be stuck in a groundhog day loop

LOL Mike she could have been making money now if she did!

Or if we could figure out what short selling is and had a billion to do that. No one stopping the fat cats!

can someone by my pot stocks.... hope they target that next!

Hahaha

They actually did! Check out sndl

I actually was in on that one before it blew up

loll i guess we've all become brokers!

I bought some Pineapple a year or so ago..... funny mistake. Should have bought a bag instead.

Mad Money on PRB....

oh that would be great for the station if we could direct attention here haha

You would have to wear a suit in the chat.... f that we want to rock.!

Punkabilly. Very Crampish

yuck! no suits ever, just noise-rock pls, send those losers back with feedback ringing in their ears hahah

and definitely brian! def cramps vibes

It's the real occupy wallstreet, 2021 is going on be a continuation of 2020 unfortunately, cyber financial skirmishes and climate exacerbated protests of all kinds are in the future if wealth inequality isn't addressed. Another innocent person will be murdered by the police, that's not gonna just stop. - ok rant over, those last few songs rocked

Hi DJ Maxi/ lookin forward to semester end show - I’m sure the other loyal listeners r anxiously awaiting the new schedule too :) !

We all need to remember by the grace of god, go I.

Heard some phasers in the last tune.

Set to Stun

Already did that with my bag of pineapple.

Yeah I'm gonna miss my Thursday s!

Stuns the roof of my mouth. The bromolain

In a good way.

And blackberry stock incredibly is on the rise / gotta find my 15 year old device - it’s a collectors item now !

hi mark! thanks for always tuning in and yes it'll be fun to know where the show lands this time on the schedule~

for sure blackberry is also an old name i havent heard in years lol

and the_dude you're right! this year won't be much different.. just things breaking and ripping at the seams again

And will from the notebook have a new host name:) ? Love the gifs up top

The future of misato noise girl and johnny mnemonic is here! And do you know that you'll have a slot next schedule for sure?

just rosasolis dream! and thanks~ the images are always fun to look for. I actually don't know if I will but that's what makes it fun to speculate! lol

and brian/mike i just figured out you were talking about the bromelain in pineapples loll

Yeah my lil joke

I take it in a supplement too

It’s almost as fun speculating the new sched as the price of Nokia Game stop etc :)

ooh it sounds like it has nice properties lol this is literally my first time hearing about it

might just snab me some for the stun effect hahah

and haha for sure mark! I actually always wanted to try a night time slot too

There's a supplement called BCQ. Natural anti inflammatory & digestive support. Bromelain and other good stuff

Great sound so far / looking forward to the next 90 minutes :)

never plays out like you think it will. That last tune was frantic and mellow..

Pill does not stun the mouth. Gotta get the good ol pineapple fruit fresh for that effect.

I think Twin Peaks.

Yeah BBurma family. Martin Swope was involved too in BotM

thanks mark! and yes mike! and speaking of twin peaks I actually have gotten around to starting it

Wait so when do you switch between DJ Maxi and rosasolis?

brian i guess i will be buying more pineapples then...

and it happened earlier this season! but there was a glitch in the spinitron server where i couldnt change it sadly

Gotta get that 70s Indonesia comp! Good recent band from that part of the world is Mooner.

The Indonesian band Mooner that is

Riff rock w psych touches

oh amazing! any album to start with? i'll definitely include them in my next show

Stream issues for anyone else?

mark are they continuing right now? I've gotten some of those before and while listening to other shows

Just occasional minor drop outs is all I noticed.

Seems ok now maybe just me / let I know it any others

I know stitch had some on Tuesday that were prob related to regional internet issues

yeah it might be some technical lag on my part... thanks for letting me know tho!!

Maybe since we’ve returned to the 90s we should fire up our modems :)

lol we might have to! altho i have no idea how to use one so i might need help hahah

Haha Lotta steps there / gotta get a landline 📞 and then reactivate that aol acct and then ...

Maybe aol next stock to blow up

Mooner lp titled Tabiat is good. That's the 1 I'm familiar with. Off white/yellowish border w black and white tripped out animal drawing inset on cover

loll omg all that effort makes me really appreciate how weird the internet was back then

and ok will def check it out brian!! really appreciate it

need some indonesian rock in my life

This is great

Jon Solomon played a track from the band New Standards Men last night in his best o 2020. Went right to bandcamp and bought it

Yeah i like this Sheena Ringo thing too

Or was it Midori?

it was probably midori! that was the last track

Aha it was

theyre an amazing jazz-punk group, pity they broke up

and ooh new standards men, i feel like i saw their release here on our recent new releases at the station

Indonesia music pairs well w it’s food : a few real good ones in s philly :)

Love when Bee-attle Pole belts out the vocals

Tempeh and BBQ pork, it's a great food culture

wow gonna have to visit philly for some indonesian food then, i don't think i've ever tried! only really have acres of korean restaurants around me (which are pretty great tho)

Yeah i like when plant protein and pork and or seafood are mixedin same dish

and lol yeah old paulie oughta do it more often, brian!

I like it when singers strain just a bit outside their range or more. Interesting results. Especially wthe Bee-attles and others

Like overblown sax and other horns to get diff tones and overtones/ harmonics

Yes Sublime Freq great label

Yeah when I was vegetarian it was annoying to find the tofu dish had meat, but now I'm very into bacon and tofu in the same dish ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I forget which island but Indonesia is the birthplace of tempeh, it's like not exciting to them there but I was so stoked to eat so much friend tempeh in sweet chili sauce

Friend*

Fried** 😑

agreed brian! i remember listening to those group inerane releases all of junior year, sublime frequences is a great companion to any show

wow that sounds amazing the_dude.. bacon and tofu is so appetizing right now haha

is that sweet chili sauce actually pretty hot?

Love love Robyn H!

As do all PRB listeners ! probably no one More that i changed my opinion from meh to wow / love the softboys & Robyn

He is maybe the best at stage patter

same!! on a related note, i truly think underwater moonlight is the one album i could always listen to in its entirety whenever a single song comes up in my shuffle or on the air

Never ceases to amaze me and make me laugh

loll i'm going to have to check that out

And such a great guitar player

I’m still kicking myself not going to sellersville when he played a few years ago :(

Did that twice in last 5 to 10 years. Great place to see him. Saw a great John and Peter's show by Robyn as well in 2008

That was a one off

crazy to think they were there.. ideal moment to watch live concerts and look what covid has done

Haha just saw the photo Of show at J&P for first time

A few weeks ago / never knew its was such a great venue

lol honestly never did i! philly is a bit of a ways from near nyc but there are so many great venues there

John & Peters is in New Hope / they actually had a small indoor invitation show recently/ I didn’t get an invite ! :(

It was Robyn solo. Soft Boys no more most likely but did a reunion tour maybe 20 yrs ago.

Did see Robyn w full band 10 yrs ago tho. Venus 3. Peter Buck and others

But I think I prefer solo Robyn

oh really? i guess it's that stage patter! haha

maybe the band at their peak would have been something else

mark that's upsetting! screw invite-only places

Yeah invite only is super off weird and off putting with covid.. I mean I get it, bands wanna play but that's weird. And btw it's a tame sauce, well balanced

no no no Don’t blame venue it was to just test out what things would b like w small 22 person crowd

... alright mark with take your word for it.. but still..

They’re really limited as to size of crowd and i give them hi marks just for testing things out / i only learned of show a week afterwards

Yes that stage patter. John and Peter's is tiny but great. Gone are the days of fire code bursting Ween shows with people flowing out the back door. They probably had good reason to do invite

@brian : exactly I’m hoping to see my 1st show there when things get Back to normal ;)

I lived there practically . Played in a dozen bands. Shows every week. .. . Aahhhhh

Yeah it's not that it's exclusionary, idk, but ha wow gonna need the source on that clip

I miss that life but no regrets

Ha a true musician hope u announce when u play next !!

From ably 1993 to mid 2000s I was playing there every month or every other

I will be in my living room! Maybe guest here and there but.. nothing planned

Settled down and loving it

Another place I’m kicking myself over : J&P / probably pass by it so many times in last few years and never knew what a great music place

Right on Brian, what kinda music did you play?

Great show / probably see everyone in the sonic bloom chat :) !!

thanks for listening everyone and the lovely, lively chat as always :)

hope to see everyone soon!!

Definitely see ya there, and yeah thanks for this show and all the shows, until next time!

Diff original rock bands. Some retro. Some twang. Some bluesy/ psych. Some surfabilly hard rock. Some had Irish flavor just atouch. Some bluegrass

Funk too

that's awesome brian!! love that mix

1 band mate called me Double Rubber (last name ) as a joke

Cuz I was in so many bands... gotta wear TWO

Always a weekend warrior. Always had day job non musical
