Beep Beep

Wednesday are now the cool day ;)

Play some Skynrd!

"is"

Let’s get this event started and spread the stoopid!

Hey Mark! Hey Malc! Hey Pink!

Hey!

Hello Mike!

S'up Bo, welcome back!

What am I looking at?

I've been here since 8:00 PM Monday!

Does he dance?

Very much enjoy how you enter the MF Doom Pantry and shut the door behind you like you're holding office hours for the next three hours.

Bo, my comm channels are weak at best. Sorry to stand you up -- I'll be here on Weds for the immediate future.

Greetings and Salutations to One and All!

Mark, never on the first date.

Jon, that's to keep the heat in!

Requests?

Brangin' my weird monday feelz to wednesday. Let's give it a whirl!

You can try, but I kind of suck at that!

Good foot

Right on, Jimbeaux -- glad you survived the evolutionary leap!

Devo-lution!

Hi Mr M, Jimbeaux, Mark M, Jon!

Ayo Bo!

Has anybody seen the Devovito meme?

They announced two different DEVO Funko Pops this week.

Where did this organ come from?!?

Search me but DAMN!

Have i been living under a stooges rock?

THE ORGAN WILL BE ADDRESSED IN THE MIC BREAK.

Se señor Mic

Always carrying on that Bennett!

And Lamont from Obnox was in Bassholes? My brain can't handle these revelations.

I think I knew that?

This Moment In Black History too!

I feel an obnox obsession growing inside me like a demon seed.

Jimbeaux, could be a demon red onion seed, I'd look into that if I were you.

I'm cool with that.

Enjoying these nice tunes, DJ MikeLupica!

Awesome, thanks MrM!

For those that may have been curious, I just flashed the Jon Solomon tofu, Listener Jimbeaux tahini, and Listener Christine Banana Peppers from a few weeks ago on the webcam. Bo, I regret to inform you that we ate your Nutella.

Aw nuts!

Missed it. Looking for the dietary biscuits.

Oh wow this is the new Martin Gore thing! I'd been meaning to listen but kept forgetting

Malc, we ate those too!

Show's been great, I loooved Bocinas

Hey Abbie! Yeah -- it's good!

Hello!! Always great to pop in! This is my first time seeing the live video feed though. The future is now...

We could do with a daily shot of SJH!

Did you have the smooth moves or what the whut!? I did catch some dancing and working on a crossword or writing of memoir?? And then I freaked out when you left the candles unattended and I just go back to thinking they are battery operated. #Goof

HAHAHAHA

I'd like to say. This episode of TFP has inspired multitasking. I've been playing along / practicing the bass to PRB on the sound system, while watching hockey and having some cold ones.

🦆💨

FartGore!

gonna have to explore that Gore record a bit more.

flatusynth

Hey DJ Mike and the pathogenic! I agree; a shot of SJH is like a tonic.

The Sparks Brothers

Sarah Jessica Harker???

Fartin More

Nooooo, MrM. SMH

Damn, I missed the display of Doomsday Pantry items on the webcam? That's what I get for tuning in late.

"Fartin More" i'm dead

😄

Awwweeeeee THANKS RADIO DAD

Hi Abbie!! Hi Mike! Hi pit crew!!!

PEPPAAA

ABBIE!! Hope your Wednesday night is good pal : )

Even better now that you're here!!

Peppa Pig! Wow, it's like a WPRB seance up in here! Everybody hold hands and concentrate, see if we can get Marvin to show up.

🍭🐷!

play something dub-adjacent and Selecta Jerry will show! It happens!

Just catching up on comments, that is awesome! Anyone who can play bass to this Gerry Rafferty song is a good person to know!

Hey Christine!

First time hearing this DJ Mike

I need to log off, but have an excellent night everyone. Hopefully you're able to summon Wilbo before 11.

Oh my gosh we still never finished making Wilbo a wiki page

He needs one

Good night Jon!1

Peace out, Jon. Thanks for hangin -- let's figure out how to do a live transition between shows before next week.

Yep. I have ideas. For transitions, Wilbo Wikipedia pages, the works! Goodnight!

Goodnight, Jon!

Malc, you are hereby hired as TFP Fire Safety Director.

hi, there!

The gang really is all here!

Perf, get all battery operated candles. I can already retire. Thx. Cheers!

Did he leave the room again!?!

This guy.

I'm back! I was juggling chainsaws while suspended over a pit of lava in my garage .

I might pass out.

Wow, Esoterica and Stitching Pink! Is this a staff meeting?

just chillin!

Man! I was thinking of live streaming during my show but no way after seeing Mike's set-up. wow. It's just yarn and fabric in here.

Everyone, LIVESTREAM!!

That's next level stuff Mike.

Yarn & fabric is cool.

Shoulda livestreamed the chainsaw juggling :/

lol

Pink, I'm surrounded by soup, beans, alcohol, and toilet paper. Yarn and farbric is like cocaine compared to this setup.

Wait, what kind of soup? Soup is the business.

Andy Warhol soup, of course.

well, i guess that makes me feel better. But at least you could survive the apocalypse in there.

ArtsyFartySoup

so that's what they did with ol' Andy! Not suitable for vegetarians, I guess.

I can't juggle, but I will no attempt to juggle soup on the webcam. Because this song still has two minutes to go.

here comes the magic

And there goes tomorrow's lunch.

Wow! Nifty!

ARRRRGGGH! no this is actually great! But I was gonna play this tomorrow! GReat minds:)

Love PJ

PJ HARVEY❣️

HA! DID EVERYONE SEE THAT? FINALLY, INSTEAD OF ME RIPPING OFF ESOTERICA ON MY SHOW, SHE'S GONNA RIP ME OFF ON HER'S! IT IS A GREAT DAY IN AMERICA! I MAY START A TUMBLR.

I’m dead. Haha 😛

hahaha. i know you're a big PJ fan, too!! hi, mr. m, christine, peppa, abbie et all!

Hey Esoterica!

Hi, DJ Esoterica!

i can dig into a diff polly jean tune out of her super duper catalogue!

And dedicate it to MikeLupica!

will do!

(Setting my reminder for your nice show now, DJ Esoterica!)

Hey, Esoterica! 👋

Thanks, Mr. M! Hi Chrisine.:)

christine:)

this is a reissue, mike?

i like it

The Tom Zé? Yeah, it's a collection that was put together by a Brazilian journalist. Definitely an old song.

I'm stealing this

So guud

You steal a Tom Zé track, you're on the hook to take a Telly Savalas track too.

hahaha

Oh. My. Gawd.

tempting

WUT

this is glorious

I died again ☠️

omg

So jealous

NONE MORE SHMALTZY

Kojak to where you once belonged...

seashells from the jersey shore

that line killed me

wait is this seriously telly !!!!

i just caught the end daam!!!

Kojack in time and hear it from the beginning

i check of the internet reveals ummmm.. telly savalas mad many albums!

each one better than the other i would guess

Who knew TS made multiple albums? Not me. I must live under a rock!

Who loves ya baby

this show is an education

is this weird novelty record wed- i hope so!

so time for telly Savalas album side - !!!!!

scour enough thrift store record bins and your realize that glint of rare gold is just another Telly LP

Lol, jimbeaux

whaddya mean just another telly record ? each one is a masterpiece ! ( I'm guessing)

and seventeen copies of Whipped Cream & Other Delights

Whatchu doin on on Wednesday?

The song on the other side of this 45 is good, too. There's a video for it -- go watch later. Song is called "If". Video is... well, "horrifying" would be a generous description.

please tell me its a cover of bread

so much on discogs. the covers are amazing.

Chaz! New schedule started this week. I am now a Wednesday kinda dude.

Well, then, so am I.

lets hear it for that Cybergod track!

Yeah holy cow that was amazing

right into Rudimentary?!?!? wicked!

yesssssss 2x

#PowerBallads

3x yasssssssssssss

lol, malcontent

NYUK NYUK NYUK

king

💗 Matmos. Yes, it's Drew.

I want Rudimentary Peni played at my funeral

will you invite me? no rush, please.

I listen to the show often, but this is my second time being able to check in on the compy. The last time was the first time TFP used the kids lappy for webcam purposes.

headed back to the sewing machine. WIll be dreaming of Telly Savalas tonight.

@Charlie, LOL

Goodnight, DJ Pink!

I'm sorry I missed that Telly Savalas song

Jimbeaux, yes, I will invite you to Charlie's funeral. I'll bring the Rudimentary Peni records.

See ya, Pink!

Telly Savalas needs to Kojak in time and sing at my first funeral. #SpellCheck #jimbeauxJoke 😃

Yes, Jimbeaux, by all means. You bring the 40s.

done. can I request "blind dogs" be on the funereal playlist?

Who is this right now? It's really lovely

Peppa, that was Still Corners. Great new record!

MrM is Undead, Undead, UNDEAD!

ooh thank you! Reminds me of Holy Motors

Now I want Goldfish.

confession: I just checked into the webcam about a minute ago

I feel somewhat like a voyeur

GREAT, I HAVE TEN POUNDS OF THEM.

Always love a good shanty

Goldfish for everyone!

lol, I was in a local discount store lately, and actually considered the 5-lb plastic barrel of cheese puffs

not really, but I was kinda mesmerized by 'em

DJ Flex Luthor, didn't you dress as the guy from the Gorton's fish sticks package last Halloween?

Charlie, my kiddo guzzles 'em like water.

I did

it was my finest moment

were you covered in delicious breading?

Could easily double as Coraline's friend Wybie with some spraypaint, smart tactical halloweenin'

No but I did have some fish sticks that night

holy shit, I love this Frowny Frown album! think of it often. wish I had it. it's about impossible to find.

Also, great album name.

Charlie, I know. I wrote to the guy who put it out and he offered to sell me one for five bucks. And then he charged me twenty dollars for shipping.

worth it.

that flute part reminds me of a slower classier mission impossible theme

the earlier part with the flourishes I mean

This song validates the lava lamp in the Doomsday Pantry.

@Mike, as if the lava lamp needs any validation.

Excellent point.

Mike, you're so chill. If I did a webcam, I'd look like the guy in the "gotta get the bread and milk" video

Haha! Charlie, the secret is "indifference".

I also assume you missed the "juggling" at the end of hour one.

Ha! Yes, I missed the juggling. But indifferent you ain't.

So HumpDay, I mean Wednesday really turned on the Mood for this show! Well done, DJ MikeLupica!

Da heque is this? This is great

Sadly, I gotta go hit the sack so as to be able to get up for work tomorrow. Glad I could check in for a bit:)

Thanks Chaz! Always great to see you here. Also, fessing up that I stole that Chicks on Speed song from you.

Abbie, Ralph Myerz -- great one-off LP from 2003. This was the centerpiece tune, used to end my show with it all the time.

Dang! So smooth

For sure.

hey abbie! my fellow space citizen

Hello flex the flex!

Hope your travels have been as smooth as this track

theyve been groovin

Love to hear it

TONY DANZA?!?

Ha! No, Tony D was a huge presence in the Trenton hip-hop scene. Did radio at PRB for a while, too. Died tragically young.

he was The BOSS

Trooth.

Gotta catch up to us Mike

amazing show, mike! thanks. I am hitting the hay! gotta get ready for tomorrow!

gotta get with the sludgey times

OOOOHHHH I LOVE THIS

Goodnight, Esoterica! Look forward to your show tomorrow

Good night, C! And everyone!

and gthx

See ya Esoterica! Have an awesome show tomorrow!

Thanks, Mike!

OK, so ignoring the cat-eye picking song, it turns out the rogue organist on that Stooges track was the keys player for the Kingsmen.

Nice work Jimbeaux!

Damn, Jimbeaux, you been sleuthin'!

I was thinkin', the Scrotum Poles and Butthole Surfers really ought to team up.

thx...my ears really did a U-turn on that. would not be able to sleep without answers!

As long as it's not on the radio, than yes, I support Bo's idea.

I wanna hear you say it Mike L :)

@Bo! 😄

Right Christine?! ;)

My grandpa actually said, when choosing a Sinatra record, stay away from happy Sinatra. The not happy ones dig deep.

Not word for word, he was had a more elegant vernacular than I.

thank you mike!

Great Wednesday Freeform Pathogen, DJ Mike! Thanks

DJ MikeLupica, many thanks for the great show! Kind regards to you, Sir!

Cheers Dears!

Bon Soir!

thanks for the lead in Mike!

time for the sludge

Thanks Mike, brilliant show as always!

Thanks, friends! See ya next week!
