Yo!

Don't do that.

Let’s do this

Hey! Welcome Jon and Alia!

Awkward start. I need to practice more.

Everyone has those kinda days

Or those kind lives

howdy. proud non-starter here!

Yay Factorial!

Has WPRB considered all Mike All the Time? I’d leave it on my radio all the time

Ha! Good god, no. That much underachieving is bad for anyone's health, can't imagine what would happen if it were to be blasted all over NJ and eastern PA. (But thank you!)

As if to prove my point, I just realized this song was looping.

WELL, THERE'S SEVEN MINUTES WE'LL NEVER GET BACK.

Hahahahhahaabh

Good evening everyone

Howdy Rob, welcome back!

Hi Mike! I missed some of the beginning.

Ahh, that was just me screwing up.

has the bass player been playing the same note for 12 minutes?

Hey Andrew, yes, I believe so but at least part of that was my mistake. (Scroll down in the chat.)

ah. it still worked, though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Whatever that last track was (the non-vocal one before this song) it was wonderful

New Nels Cline Singers LP. Yep, 2nd track I've played from it. Like it lots.

Thx Mike. With the NCS name and the chat references to screwup, I wasn't sure what I was listening to.

This EDD piece is great too

Howdy Mike and all! Agreed Rob that was awesome

S'up dude! Welcome!

How do Mike!

YO BO!

St.Ignatius :))

Pull over...the radio is ON FIRE.

hey mike, great track!

REASON #72 why WPRB is better than streaming. Repo Man!

Thanks Isa, and right on James! I swear this is .... topical.

Mike, did you happen to see my email about something, uh, Borscht-related...?

Haha Jimbeaux.

Oops.

Yep, on fire.

I swear I didn't hear a thing!

Quick...get some soap in that mouth.

Guess I haven't listened to this record in a long time.

know your music?! hope you don't get in trouble with the boss!

I believe the penalty is that I'm forbidden from riding my skateboard for a month.

ML you can handle that kind of punishment i'm sure!

Lol 📻🔥, but really though

As a birder I have to say that Fringe Biology Recordings is a great name for a record label

I have a birder friend and every time I see / hear some interesting bird I text him audio / photo and he IDs it right away. My wife pointed out he could have been making up bird names this entire time and I'd be none the wiser!

Hello, DJ MikeLupica! Greetings and Salutations, to One and All!

You're very kind, Mike, to say I'm a regular! This is only my second time listening to your show (or my third?)

HARRY DEAN STANTON ❤️

Jon, you have a cool friend.

🍣🚫💵

Alternatives: I could be out listening for owls or American Woodcocks.

⚡=🔥

this song rn af

Totally Mr.m

MosDef, the_dude

Original 1985 CASSETTE!?! Webcam it or it didn’t happen?!?

Hahaha, I certainly didn't play it in that format. I don't even have CD players up in here!

My brainz almost melted! 😝

Wow...4 Mars. Lofi magic.

just dropping in to say helllooooooo to Wednesday night pit crew!!!

I looked up Bomis Prendin to see why the name sounded familiar, and I found that they were from DC: https://www.discogs.com/artist/229134-Bomis-Prendin

I can't say that I ever heard them though

Mike, that's quite a story about that band

heeellllooooo0oooØooo, DJ peppa pig!

🍭🐷🍭🐷🍭🐷

Yo Peppa Pig!

Yes please thank you oh my gosh WRATH!

Oh hells yes.

We chooglin now

HEAVY chooglin'.

Grooving

The kicker part of this song (coming up) is SOOOOOO good.

Paul Major swears that this track (and their first two records) were 100% improvised. They never played this track again, according to legend.

Get ready...

🏁♾🏁♾🏁♾🏁♾

amazing

Coming up...

@Mike, got any Natural Child in the crate tonight?

the entire tune is a Kicker tho yo

Building up to it...

Hope your volume is cranked...

Get ready!

BOOM!

Ordinarily it takes a band as talented as Stereolab to get this much mileage out of two notes.

Oh I am in a MOOD now.

👏👏🏾👏🏻👏🏿👏👏🏼👏🏾👏🏽👏

applause applause applause

Mine this tone forever...now i wanna hear some Träd, Gräs och Stenar

I saw them once. They were great, but they made the whole room smell for a week.

uuuhhhhh

I think that's what happens when you live in a fetid tour van for 30 years.

Live from the Starlite Doom Loungpantry

oooofffffff

Mmmm...ripe touring band smell.

droppin' by, sayin' hi

n0, jimbO, n0

Hey Chaz! Good to see ya, pal.

good to see you too

is tonite's show a tribute to Repo Man?

every show

It was, but that idea went south quickly.

well, in spirit, then

More Harry Dean Stanton than Repo Man, but an article about Repo Man triggered me this morning.

Paris Texas just might be my favorite film ever!

Bo, it is a fave of mine too!

No spoilers! Haven’t seen it yet! 😹

SWEET!

@MrM. See it!

MrM, it's not exactly an uplifting, life-affirming, feel good kinda movie. But it definitely sticks with you.

go, man, go

BRB

Paris Tx is amazing

Ry Colder did the Soundtrack!

I have the soundtrack which includes the amazing HDS confessional in the stripper booth. Will finish the show with it if the crowd demands.

*Cooder

DEMANDING

I just like yelling in a chat

@Mike, I have said record, that HDS Stripper piece is sooo powerful!

Yeah -- it's the most f'd up part of the movie, but super moving.

@Mr M. You have 65 minutes to watch the movie and tell us what you think! ;)

Haha sooooon, buuuutttttttt not that soon

And not during MikeLupica’s show! #Respect

so um once i get my shot -um now im freaked -
