If you can see my words the CHAT is open and I welcome you to it!

I can see the words... they spell 'time to clock out and think about dinner' if i squint just right

You've earned it!

Happy wednesday.

Hey Heather! Happy Wednesday!

Speaking of, I spun my copy of the new Chris Brokaw solo LP last night for the first time. Got some cool parts, and others I'll come around on.

But I'll now I'll check out some of that Martha's Vineyard Ferries for sure.

Oh, I like that Brokaw record a lot but it is pretty varied stylistically from song to song if memory serves.

The MVF record is a tidy one! That song I played is on it twice!

Hello Jon and hello chat! Friday can't come soon enough. Dying to hear that new JW in full. Was hoping the radio station I host a show at would receive a digital copy early, but ah well, I can wait.

I was glad that there were still some favorites to discover (like the song I played) beyond what I'd already aired.

Totally. Really enjoying this Guitargument. Had no idea this existed.

Me neither. Found it by chance after going for a walk in the snow listening to Electrelane and then searching "Electrelane" on Bandcamp curious if there were any covers or related things I'd missed...

Guitargument >> Guitarzan

Had to look Guitarzan up!

I'm so sorry

I didn't press play, so you're in the clear for the moment.

Haha @Wheel of Randy, no competition. I remember hearing that on some Dr. Demento compilation tape as a kid.

For nothing but a pair of guitars, this piece still takes a lot of compelling twists and turns.

This. Is. Good!

Yeah, they both make compelling points to back up their sides of the guitarscusion

Two guitar players from two of my favorite bands. Sounds more like The Ex than Electrelane but a winner either way.

Hi Cap'n Solomon & Co! That long track that just ended reminded me of the Swiss-German band Schnellertollermeier's 'Rights' (2018?). What about you?

Love a good Schnellertollermeier reference!

Did you know they came out with another recording just last year? Sadly, it just didn't grab me like 'Rights' did. Also -- I'm making a frittata with zucchini, green olives, celery, onion, and a generous amount of parmigiano for dinner tonight. Also also -- On KPC's end-of-year-bests show(s), I heard a German band called Urlaub in Polen whose 2020 recording I really, really like! Top track: 'The Witcher'

Getting close to dinner time. What are you having? What are you prepping? To my surprise it looks like a thai butternut squash and green been risotto is happening next to where I sit.

I did not know that! Frittata sounds excellent.

Risotto! Che buono/bello! mmmmmmm

Yeah, I didn't know that was in the cards this evening at all.

Great... I tune in just in time to start crying!

Is this show part of your press junket, Mr. Hastie?!

HA! I'm not gonna lie. I'm EXHAUSTED. I don't know how Jennifer Lawrence does it.

Well, I sold two of your records today so something is working!

I may have to try this Filet-o-Fish everyone's talking about

I don't remember every day of my life clearly, but I am near-100% certain I've never had a Fillet-o-Fish.

I should let you all know that Andrew from I Think Like Midnight (who are playing presently) will be on Esoterica's program tomorrow afternoon at noon ET.

Very cool. Heard ITLM for the first time on a WFMU session from maybe...2014? Been a big fan ever since.

WHOA! THANK YOU!

Dinner = hummus, cuke, tomato over couscous with fried halloumi cheese

Thai risotto sounds 💥💥💥

Picked up Indian takeout from Jaffron in New Hope, excited to eat it

Let me know how it is!

dinner = leftover homemade sweet potato lentil vegan stew with rice

"Zombie StreetEatahs"

Funny.

Hello, is the stream working? I can't hear anything

Whoaaah what a tracj

Track

Stream is working AOK over here. Where are you accessing it, Cliff?

http://player.streamguys.com/wprb/sgplayer/player.php

Hmmm. I'm streaming http://player.streamguys.com/wprb/sgplayer/player.php right now with no issues.

My wife just re-connected via her phone, also coming through OK.

Epic sets back to back Ahab & Jon. We're in for a night....

This risotto was very good.

Stream works here, terrestrial signal's been kinda crap lately tho.

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1021947-thai-curry-risotto-with-squash-and-green-beans

Huh, it's playing on my phone, but not on my laptop (it would connect but not play any sound)

Sorry for obvious Cliff not a joke but check to see volume is up, play button is pressed, bluetooth or cable ends are connected, internet speed & connectivity ok etc. I say because i have missed on those checkpoints before

Ok laptop sound controls then maybe. There are often multiple sound settings, volumes, devices to choose etc.

No worries Brian, I used to do tech support & had to ask the obvious too

For me it is sometimes that I have the wrong audio output selected on my laptop.

The work laptop they gave us has so many combinations & permutations of devices & volume & eq options. Strange navigation

It's on speakers, I can hear it clicking when I press volume buttons. I'm posting to the chat from my laptop so internet is fine. No big deal, I'll just keep listening on my phone

Marinated griddle pan chicken breasts. Kasha. Broccoli.

Crazy that Desert Cruising and Post-Post Scum are back.

Welcome re-additions, each.

Hey DJ Jon & chat peeps *waves* Did I miss the food talk?

There's some quality food talk, yes!

Hello Christine

Hi, Brian!

Come for the music talk, stay for the dinner discussion.

That's the goal. 100%.

For dessert, earlier this week we made Tasty Hack versions of butterscotch Krickets and chocolate peanut butter Tandy Takes . We beat the orig in my opinion

I'm feeling lazy so carbonara for me again tonight

any prize if we can guess what cfl tshirt it is :) ? Would need a small hint !

I have two different CFL shirts for two different teams. Same design, tweaked logos. Wish I had one for every squad across the league.

Ooh carbonara sounds good

You have a 1/10 chance of being right!

haha i used to be a bit of a cfl afficiando / what is primary Shirt color ?

It is a grey shirt (but not a grey cup shirt).

"How about that local baseball squadron ? The Nye Metts are my favorite " (not)

Haha tough to make a guess from that but I’ll go hamilton tiger cats ?! i was always a fan of the grey cup half time prrforners :)

It IS good! Used up my last 2 eggs in the fridge for it

Roughriders! I've been to the T-Cats stadium (parking lot), though.

lol no prize ! I believe Hamilton stadium is iver wynne i think i drove past it once :)

When I was in Hamilton summer of 2019 my friends took me to the stadium on our way home. This was after we drove past a park concert I jokingly guessed was Loverboy and it turned out to BE LOVERBOY!

haha that’s why Torontonians make fun of Hamiltonites / never know where these PRB chats go / gotta put that on my survey :)

Mogwai!

Mogwai has a new album?! AWESOME

Life just got a tad better

Still waiting for Lorde, haha

Mogwai's album is the #1 album in the UK and #9 album in the US this week. What a world!

The US is cooler than I thought

Maybe it's a sign that you should play Loverboy.

While Hot Girls In Love is a quality jam, perhaps on a future show.

A great guitar solo on Hot Girls In Love. MTV moments there

When I saw Loverboy for real we were already in the parking lot when they played it but for reasons I can get into later I couldn't handle the set any longer.

An endless guitar solo was involved.

I think I remember this live set

I really enjoyed their company.

Yeah I don't think I could do a long set of Loverboy. But they were at one of those JFK Jams in the 80s at the presidential named stadium that I saw as a lad . They worked for a stadium. I think it was the Journey headling one. Joan Jett way in beginning probably the best act that day. Bryan Adams. That Hagar guy.

I think I saw Loverboy at a Ribfest the same summer I saw Joan Jett at a town fair. She ruled! Did Replacements and Lungfish covers!

Joan always turned up on the bill at great outdoor shows I saw over the years. 2 at JFK (the other being The Police headlining Jam at JFK). And a concert out in a nice setting outside of State College the even was known as The Regatta. The Romantics also on the bill with a diff drummer but still Wally on gtr/vox. Oh and the Journey 83 jam... I looked it up and THE TUBES were on the bill! How could I forget that. Tied w/Joan J. The Tubes knew how to put on a SHOW!

I also saw Joan Jeff play a very short set before a New York Liberty game. She performed the Liberty's anthem that season.

Nice!

I wore out the "Bad Reputation" lp (aka self titled but mine was Bad Rep title). And I wore out the" cassettes of I Love RnR" and "Album". Joan Jett was huge in that early "getting into collecting rock and roll" age in the early 80s in jr high school.

Thx, Jon! Have a good evening, everybody

Great to have you in the chat. Going to stick around / decompress for an hour during ML's show at the top of the hour.

Always did the greatest covers. And well. Good night Jon and chatters! RIP John from Wussy & Ass Ponys.

NOT READY//PLAY SOMETHING LONG.

YOU'VE GOT FOUR MINUTES.

PLAY THE RADIO EDIT OF MARQUEE MOON.

Wait, I missed a Loverboy conversation? Damnit...

A CAPELLA TELEVISION GUITAR SOLOS COMING UP AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR.

Apparently, Loverboy was a hot topic.

23 Minutes in Brussels followed by 28 Minutes in Brussels

See you all soon!
