Stretch ....

Yoga! Yoga! Yoga! 🧘🏽

Time to stretch those limits... of sound but mostly of joints and limbs.

PRB truly stretches the limits of .... everything! / i shudder to think what I’d b listening to if I had never discovered it

:) And I'm not sure a lot of us would have gotten through this past year of janky home radio-ing without you (and a few other uncanny suspects) in our hype corner!

I will try to repay you all in uncomfortable photos as the show progresses

O this is way cool. Tighten it up!

Japanese gentlemen, STAND UP PLEASE!

HANDS IN THE AIR DANCING!

Snarkiest performance of all time all things considered. I won't be taking further questions on the matter!

He did say please

I'm watching the Soul Train video now. 🌟

This satisfies me, Christine 🙂

Haha the video is irresistible/ who thought dierdre show would lead us there today ??/ after this show watch the soul train opening/ theme: TSOP !! fantastic!

Thank you playing it AND posting the video, Deirdre!

Here’s my challenge: if u can work music from the other 2 syndicated niche music shows from that era- Hee Haw & Lawrence Welk :) into future shows

Ooh, it has been written (down). Should learn me a thing or two. My only reference point for the phrase "Hee Haw" is the Birthday Party single

now here's an image that makes me squeamish.

Ha hee haw was to country what souk train was to R&B / soul / watch an episode they’re pretty corny & funny:)

I would watch Souk Train!

Ha, Mark. Maybe there should be a "Souk Train" for the Al Jeel pop music of Egypt.

I was really hoping this was real. I'm let down.

There was a low budget Phila / S Jersey regional dance show in the last 20 yrs on cable access tv... what was that....

I think the idea of a kind of centralized viewing experience where the program tells you "this is what's cool in our genre, and we'll show you how to talk about it and employ a roomful of people to show you how to dance to it" is funny/interesting, since my gen. doesn't really have something like that. Will check out an episode, Mark

My family is now dancing in the kitchen to this. The dog is involved.

@Brian - Dancin' on Air on WPHL?

No.. not a well known name

You were supposed to be on the floor doing curls...or something!!

I heard about it mid 2000s. It was very lo budget.

Soul Line! That's it!

I vaguely feel like I've stumbled on this one at some point during my childhood

So it seems as if "put your butt behind your head" is the basic move on many of these poses

I wanted to disprove you based on what I have left in the jpg folder, but... you're mostly right. You can always up your look with cool props though

"put your butt behind your head..." outtake lyrics from Eddie Murphy?

Some acts on Eddie's "Boogie..."song might require contortions

Haha i just saw everyone was making fun Of my typo: embarrassed emoji: 😳 :) :)

More wishful thinking than making fun!

Damn this song is sick

Child to mom: what was the name of band that played thAt song @1:15 ?!

The kind that makes me want to write down the lyrics and read them over again like a poem

And uh, yeah, depending on the age of child we'll just leave the band name out of that Mark, haha

I liked that Cathy La Creme too. It reminded me of the great box set on Manchester (Manchester North of England A Story Of Independent Music )

The B-side "Tea Machine Dub" by another group has been on a comp like that I think, but I've never seen the A-side on any of those zillion UK DIY comps. Seems like an oversight.

LOL to this Entire program & chat :)

I agree Deirdre

I think the identity of Cathy La Creme is unknown so maybe that's the reason? Couldn't get in touch to ask perhaps

Crazy good set

Salutations.

I'm excitedly anticipating a good evening this week to have a listen to "quick universe leap." It was a nice surprise seeing this pop up on DNE!

Aw yay, thanks! I hope you have fun with it. Great to be hearin ya / playlist chattin ya! :)

James Chance & Contortions in final hour?

Likewise! l've had ample time over the past year to send telepathic wishes of welldoing broad and afar... but hope you're doing well Abbie!

Hallo 2xD!

And Mark, a request or prediction? I can't do the former as I'm not live but the latter isn't far off. The guitarist of Richard Hell & the Voidoids will be making multiple appearances in that hour

Hello Mr. Tron!

And all the same to you!!

Haha I never make requests only suggestions! We listeners always leave the playlist up to the fine WPRB dj curators:)

That's the sound of the unanswered WPRB hotline...

867-5309 ...

DD, were you around for the Boneless Girl flash game? all the craze in my middle school computer lab

I was comically bad with the hotline. Always had trouble saying no so it was "if I can find it I..." and then I'd plug on with what I'd planned, feeling guilty all the while. It's a resolution to give a firm yes or no whenever I'm back in there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ChtSY5SPWE

Haha, thanks for the link. Something I was half-afraid to google. Sounds like one of those "you'll never talk to your wife again after playing this game!" ads 😛

Graphics aren't too dissimilar!

DJ deirdre dionysiac, great music, outstanding visuals, enjoyable information!!! Greatly appreciate all the TopNotch effort! Many thanks and kind regards!

I was looking up record breaking top-spinning today in long events with toys related news

Appreciate the say-so! I always enjoy your appearances in the chat 😁

What's the verdict Brian? I need a number

Here's a record-breaking #1 cowbell song while we wait.

27hrs, 9mins, 24secs

This is an adequate number. I'm proud of us

This song and and Tighten Up are cousins i think

Grazin that is

Is there a go-to place for toy-related news? I could use something other than the normal news for my buttonfingers to reach at as I wake up in the morning.

In spirit or otherwise?

Rhythm, chords groove.

I watched some cool videos of kids inventing games during the pandemic. Some cool rube goldberg-esque games involving ceiling fans, ping pong paddles, strategically placed reflecting panels for balls to bounce off of, stairways, open windows Etc

I am loving this Jody Harris / Robert Quine song!

I'm glad they didn't jip us on the length!

Great show and gifs from Starting alice to (hopefully) ending alice / tristam Carey on my to further research list :)

Thanks everyone! Sorry for the spotty replies/song-times at the end there, as I've moved on to administering a haircut, hehe. Thanks to everyone who came by to hang again!

Thanks Deirdre. Lots of fun
