Welcome to the chat
Mike Lupica 3:02:23 PM
This is me, throwing the goats to "Supenaut", only I can't hear it because the webstreams are down.
Mike Lupica 3:02:42 PM
(Problem is being worked on presently.)
Captain Ahab (host) 3:06:06 PM
How appropriate for a space rock themed episode that our webstream crash on the way back from space
Bud Burroughs 3:09:29 PM
Glad I'm on old-fashioned FM - sounding great!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:14:24 PM
thanks Bud! nothing like good old ~ electromagnetic waves ~ pulsing through the air
Bud Burroughs 3:23:36 PM
Thank you, Captain, for harnessing the awesome power of the electromagnet and using it for good.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:24:36 PM
And we're back!!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:26:27 PM
Thanks prb tech squad <3
Mike Lupica 3:27:29 PM
Yay, streams are back. Still some residual weirdness going on, so not getting cocky YET.
Mike Lupica 3:27:51 PM
That came out way more cynically than I intended.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:28:31 PM
how many more goats do we gotta throw??
Mike Lupica 3:29:16 PM
ALL THE GOATS. NO HOLDING BACK.
Brian D 3:30:10 PM
I am relief. Stream back!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:32:59 PM
Robots are an underrepresented demographic in fuzz
Brian D 3:37:45 PM
The Gizz
Brian D 3:44:54 PM
Great little departure set. As it should be for space!
Jaden Shirkey 3:46:06 PM
Once again, diggin' your setlist Captain!
Jaden Shirkey 3:46:28 PM
I'm a huge fan of the King Gizz performance on KEXP, if you haven't checked it out...

Captain Ahab (host) 3:48:01 PM
ahh thanks Jaden! hadn't seen this
Captain Ahab (host) 3:48:18 PM
Also lol at this comment "I neglected this band for so long because of their goofy name. Joke was on me."
Brian D 3:48:51 PM
The Fuzz Meets the Funk!
jimbeauxtron 3:51:34 PM
Which fingers? Whose fingers?
Captain Ahab (host) 3:54:06 PM
Those fingers ofc
jimbeauxtron 3:57:20 PM
oh, MY fingers!
Jon Solomon 4:02:34 PM
Radio on! Stream holding up OK?
Brian D 4:04:03 PM
No interruptions on my end since i rejoined
Jon Solomon 4:05:39 PM
Nice. I just fired up the external speaker.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:05:39 PM
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
Captain Ahab (host) 4:06:20 PM
(how this tune makes me feel)
jimbeauxtron 4:07:00 PM
jon is your speaker wood- or coal-fired? or wood/steam?
Jon Solomon 4:08:35 PM
I'm pedaling as fast as I can to keep it running!
jimbeauxtron 4:10:11 PM
even better!
jimbeauxtron 4:10:45 PM
quick, develop snowmelt hydro powered speakers
Brian D 4:22:18 PM
I found a great little Anker one few yrs ago that was $15 instead of whatever marked up price at the big box store because it is bright blue i guess. Regular black one was reg price. Nice thump to the bass for a lil 2 x 2 x 8 speaker
Jon Solomon 4:23:21 PM
I too have an Anker. Works great for what I need, especially since my laptop speakers have recently gone wonky.
Brian D 4:23:42 PM
I kinda like the bright blue too. The blue really hits the Q-Zone
Brian D 4:28:53 PM
Ahab, loving the psych levels today. Great sets
Jon Solomon 4:28:55 PM
I'm into this REZN track.
Julian Bleecker 4:48:04 PM
Princeton native, now living in Venice Beach and I want to isten live..but schedules do not always permit so I've been cobbling playlists to listen later..hope that's not some kinda weird violation // https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6A7wGeNqhtZ2e0JdyLYbbv?si=m6FSBHeWSX6hN5A0nG98YQ
Captain Ahab (host) 4:51:46 PM
hey Julian! I'm flattered! I actually upload all my old shows to mixcloud, am just a bit behind getting the new WPRB era episodes of the past few weeks up but plan to do so this weekend
Captain Ahab (host) 4:53:29 PM
I also make my playlists public anyway on my personal spotify, to save you the hassle: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1bkkJMK8TzkSqkJWPOgvN8?si=vyDU2PF1STyjPygYghckXA
Mark 4:56:47 PM
I’m adding to listening to some of Ahab’s old shows to my prb inspired backlog of music, film, books etc / worlds greatest station / very nice show & ive been adding to my music library too :)
Julian Bleecker 4:57:56 PM
If you made them public that'd be AWESOME
Captain Ahab (host) 4:58:50 PM
They're all public! search for Desert Cruising ;)
Captain Ahab (host) 5:01:18 PM
that's a wrap folks
Captain Ahab (host) 5:01:25 PM
thanks for joining <3
Brian D 5:01:29 PM
Great show
