Chat is archived.

is this thing on?

(high Leo Sayer voice) "You Make Me Think 'Bout Dancin" oo dancin

Where are the visuals???

press on eyeballs

this sounds like a slowed down version of acdc you shook me all night long

I had a Loverboy folder in my Trapper Keeper. This did not come up in my chat and is a Freeform Pathogen Exclusive.

Ooo Trapper Keepers... wow

https://shop.sparkpretty.com/products/vintage-80s-loverboy-novelty-organization-folder

You wanna piece of my heart?! You better start from the start! You wanna be in the show?! Well, c'mon, baby, let's go! That is to say: Good evening, Mr. Lupica!

Seems like I've been stuck with two skids of Doomsday Pantry novelty painter's caps.

Scratch & sniff the hairspray. Apparently she was turning on the heat. And she was in possession of a magic touch. But it was a little too much. At one hundred above yet

Also -- That Yo La Tengo bassline is the same or similar to VU's "European Son"

Hey gang! Sorry, no Starlite Lounge webcam tonight. Kiddo needed her laptop for a school project. Look at the picture up there on the left and USE YR IMAGINATIONS!

Love this song

I always want to heat this song on days with weather like today's.

Hear this song, rather.

what is the background ambience for your intro?

That is, in fact, a slowed down and reversed sample of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long".

EFF YES I CALLED IT!

HOT DAMN

what's my prize?

@Jon, I had to click the link. Rad Loverboy folder

was just introducing some people in the woods to this song.!

I'll heat this song too. I think cats like this song

Good work, Dante. It is popular with trees and shrubberies.

Now it became that song as we spin the planet further....

I remember reading the word "Octopad" over and over with WIDE eyes as I eyed up Mickey Hart's rig on a big screen at the aforementioned JFK stadium on Solomon Chat. I liked reading that word. It felt good.

this was one of my first cassettes, totally solid

Indeed. Totally love Monie!

I'm loving this vibe.

Feet are warm now. Blood pumping through them. Slight fear of socks being rocked off and starting the whole procedure over and repeating...

РOHИ JЕИMЗ ДИО . That's as close as I can get

Works for me!

I could not find a Cyrillic letter for Evil Eye devil horn hand gesture.

I think that means you earn the right to design one?

Ha! Yes.... I copied pasted my cobbled together symbols into google and Dio links came up. So I might have come close

Nice! I'm sure RJD is smiling (and throwing the goats) in the great beyond.

Would also just like to point out that this song rules even more now than it did when I listened to it for the first time at around 9:30 this morning.

Which just goes to prove that Japanese hardcore bands make the best synth punk.

Aha...more searching shows that it is actually " Ронни Джеймс Дио "

DJ MikeLupica! Excellent start to the show!

yes, the Faint probably opened for them lol

You have robbed letters from my teeth

First #thefaint reference of 2021!

i am digging this uplifting starlite lounge vibe tonight

Awesome, glad to hear it! I'm sure I'll wreck the vibe sometime in hour two.

Yeah, this track is fun! 🔥

I love that due to imprints like Slovenly, Spanish-language bands/performers are really having an extended moment. That Pódium track was so good! Especially after the equally high-octane TV Priest! Great pairing!

Totally agree, Teresa! God bless Slovenly Records and all who sail with her!

End of first hour?? Slow down the clock ⏰! Fast and Fun timez!!

Yay MrM!

Letter to a Punk Rock Fanzine coming up in the next break.

Much excitement!!

Get ready for FIERCE HARDCORE SCENE POLITICS.

I work late and y'all start without me :[

welcome jimbeaux!

and I missed Loverboy being "folded" into the convo...

No worries, Jimbeaux. We'll roll film at 11.

yo fact-0-real!

I thought I was hearing the Roches and then they turned into HEATLOAF!

Sadly I got called away and missed the last 45 minutes! 😿

Next Losers Lounge tribute!

Ooh, is it 'zine letter time?

Too early for Good Nights!!

However, Good Night! Sleep Well!!

My dudes. It's 9:30. I've been up since 4:50. Throw some coffee on and get settled. THERE WILL BE A TEST NEXT WEEK.

@ mike 450? i think that is illegal -

coffee is the root of all my problems

but we do appreciate being referenced as my dudes every sermon aor speech should start with that

@MrM, it's easy for you to say it's too early for good nights. You're on Pacific time. Has the sun even set for you? 💀 🌇

alot going on in this song

WPRB reruns...get that AM/PM space-time continuum reversed.

Weekly groveling at the alter of Arlo Parks.

altar

Christine Duffy, dark for about an hour. 9:40pm is bedtime??!! During MikeLupica??!! Outrageous!! 🤪🤔🥱😵😴💤💤💤💤

😄

man i could hear this song on a summer day

@DJ Mike, I agree that Arlo Parks is a revelation.

Her album is RIDICULOUSLY good.

Now, please join hands and wish Robyn Hitchcock a happy birthday.

Happy 67th Birthday!

💜💜💜 HBD, Robyn 🎂

my hand is stretched across the water

Holy hell, he's 67?

I know. Looks 87. Oops. 🤡

SSSML (sahel soundz saved my life)

which volume tho yeaux?

1&2 samplers, hama, les filles...

wha? what's wrong with lemonheads?

it s a shame about ray it really is

Les Filles de Illighadad are amazing, and their music is life-saving. I agree with you, jimbeaux.

"sensitive dude record" ha!

yay, Christine :)

Fries and champagne?! Oh, yum!! 🍟🍟🥂🍾

may we expect chicken-coop realm broadcasts this summer?

🌟⭐️✨✨⭐️🌟

Jimbeaux, I don't think my wifi goes that far, but I will speak to a Comcast rep about this, stat.

>from the doom pantry to the >zoom poultry

Ha!

heauxheauxheaux

this CLAPS

That song is THE JAM for my daughter and I.

Hi ye Mike!

it’s so good! that’s a fun tidbit!

Late comer I be.

Yeah, there's like a French Nokia commercial from years ago on YouTube that uses that song and she's obsessed with it.

Hello, Bo!!

Hey Bo!

I wanna see that!

amazing, Shirley

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkYpHW2Ol9o

Dis be some rockin'!

OH! OUTSTANDING! Thanks and cheers! @DJMikeLupica

Absolutely, Bo! Jonathan Kane (late of the Swans, + collabs with Rhys Chatham and Lamonte Young) meets Dave Soldier swampy roots music rockers uptown.

That's a lot to digest but I'm working on it!

guess Whut bastard u stoopid idiot okaayyy

My head hurts.

Hahaha

Worlddddddddd

Whoops.

I heard shiiii

Oops.

ShiP?

Shite!

@Bo, that's it!

Hi Christine!

Hey, Bo! What's the craic?

Shite is much more beautiful!

Beautiful?! 🤣

Hey all. just want to pop on to say that nights the radio keeps you from turning the tv on are great nights 📻🔥

No to the tele

Hey, DJ SelectaJerry!! Cheers!!

Hey, Selecta

TV? What's that?

Selecta! Right on!

💥💥💥Roky

The craic is ninety Christine!

Jimbeaux, shit, I knew I knew this song from somewhere!

CIGARETTES AFTER SEX 🧡

Roky couldabeen top 4O C&W with that starry tune

I was just, just, just thinking about the Gun Club

Roky coulda been a lot of things. One of my lifelong regrets will always be the fact that I never saw him live. Had tix to his gig in Jersey City right before he died.

I often think of the Gun Club.

Also, this JLP solo record. Which isn't that good, really, except for this song, but which I cherish anyway.

Yes, missed Roky. Shoulda tried harder.

My wife and I listened to this JLP album on repeat for hours on the drive from Jerome, AZ to Phoenix. Perfect soundtrack to the lonely desolation.

Those later Gun Club ones have some gorgeous tracks

Totally.

He was a genius. Or in the common tongue, "Another Exterminator Eaten by Bugs"

But let's be real. Everything's been leading up to this PJ song.

PJ HARVEY 💜

This whole album. As the kids say: "I'm dead"

I’m Dehd ☠️

Good night, all!

Thx, DJ Mike! Good night, all!

DJ MikeLupica!! Many thanks and kind regards!!

Cheers Dears!

Zzzzzzzzlater pals!🌙🌙🌙

Get your jabs! 💉

Hells yea, Christine!

Thanks Andrew!
