Wooooo

THE HYPE TRAIN IS HERE

CHOO CHOO ALL ABOARD

departing fu manchu station

Ohhhhhh!!!! Yeah fleeeex

Hey Tyler!! We in this

Been so pumped for this show

I always loved that audio clip at the beginning of this track

Apparently it's from a police chief on 20/20 in the 80s

TIL!

I'm going to be chugging Lacroix in solidarity with the br00tal riffs

the most brutal of beverages

I never hear anything about all those other non specified witches

Next album!

All Those Witches by All Them Witches coming soon to PREX

Not to be confused with All These Witches

that's their third album

it's a planned trilogy

There's a lot of witch ground to cover

Give the bass some

An Italian set coming up perchance?

Ooooh I think I've only one Italian band lined up for today

But that inspires me for next week

This chorus gets stuck in my head all the time

Thank you Dylan from the Goblin Bunker for your recurring donation!!!

@Dylan also Doom is a great game with a dope soundtrack

Oh yeah, heckin Doom

not to take anyone away from the dooooooooom but oh-ok came up in the chat yesterday and today i learned that cindy wilson did a cover of one of their songs

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

Friendly PSA that any listeners so inclined to pledge might wish to time it for 4:20pm ;) ;) ;)

do it I dare you

Doubly dogged

42 donations at 4:20 DO IT

or 420 donations why not

This is like Bernard Waber's 'Lyle the Crocodile' series title that didn't make it past the editors. ;-D That was so EPIC! You don't need to live on East 88th St. to love it! By the way -- HELLO DESERT CRUISERS OF TIME AND SLUDGE! Amazing amazing amazing show!

that flashing light makes me jump every time

captain ahab at the wheel and flex in the backseat

we cruising

Oh yeah!!!

Is this an alt version of manic depression in the background?

same title? Eponymous?

I was actually thinking the same thing haha

SELF TITLED LOL, it just came to me

I think?

yuuppp

yes that's right

thanks for that rec Commie Francis few lines down, catching up with the chat

hi Teresa!!!

hi Cap'n!

@Tyler Background music is various tracks from Causa Sui's Euporie Tide

THANK YOU to Jason! And Ozzi H!

Jason's a long time fan! One of the cool cats who 'followed' me virtually around the world during my interregnum

I think windhand may be one of my favorite wprb discoveries

Am I misremembering or are Elder a Boston-based band?

what

They are indeed!

are they??

Somerville locals yo

WHOA

wow from my hometown too???

how did I not know this

I don't know!!!

btw blaze it with those donations pls

oh yeah, I like Francis' energy, $420 donations only plz

OF COURSE you're from Somerville, Flex! My favorite greater Boston/Cambridge town! <3

hell yeah

catch me in union square eating donuts

Nice!!!

Somerville, Home of Fluff and Elder

Hmm I thought I remember reading they were Somerville based but google-fu is just turning up Boston

Eh, close enough

shhhhhh don't take this away from me

And the annual PorchFest and Honk! festivals!

And Dunkin Donuts

porchfest is couchfest this year!

no joke there are 5 dunkin donuts within 15 minutes of me

Nope. That's Wilbraham, MA. Near where I grew up in Northampton

(continues to name Somerville-adjacent towns lol)

Haha! I thought it was Quincy?

The original Dunkins is from Quincy

Somerville is also currently the home of all my stuff

it's got a retro design to it

Courtesy of EZ Storage

Yeah sadly bummed we couldn't record this in person!

maybe next year if we're both still around

(as in on air hopefully we will still be alive)

Desert Cruising has 9 lives.

I was about to say.. this is getting dark

yeah dude I'm scheduled to be back in the old Cantabrigia in Jan 2022

I used to live so close to youz -- in Newton -- until Dec. 2018. Now I'm out Worcester way

hell yeah I'll be around I'll be at simmons for the next 2 years

yknow I've only been to worcester for palladium shows

Really?!!! That's where I studied Library Science! I loved it but I had to cut it short for personal reasons.

almost also went for library science haha

I'm going for school social work/adjustment counseling

this chat has been taken over by massholes

btw did yall hear red fang's new single arrows?

I saw the new Red Fang video. Funny stuff. Also hello from no longer in my car, chat!!

That's great!! It's such a good school. Also pretty much everyone who worked with my autistic sons studied Special Ed there

Hello Not-in-Car-Jon!

Will no one put in a good word for Somerville, New Jersey?

Was worried I'd have to bill Baroness or Asteroid for a possible speeding ticket...

Call it a business expense!

hey Jon! I think it's possible baroness would pay it tbh

it seems like something they'd do

Things pledge fund helps pay for: maintaining transmitter, licensing fees, and Jon Solomon's speeding tickets

@Chris Mohr -- Thank you for repping Somerville, NJ!

@Teresa - Sure! I wasn't going to complain if nobody stood up for it, tbh

Dang this is rad I haven't heard this before

LOL Flex just saw your username update

Love this show & so glad Flex Luther is back.

lightning struck and I had to make the change

glad to be back!!

As a reminder, you can catch more of Captain Ahab tonight from 11pm-1am

Part 2 of our cruising odyssey

We will be back on lost in time and sludge to close out your night

Yeah! I'm staying up past my bedtime for you folks

Past my bedtime I'm usually up @4am

We'll be on after the odyssey that'll be Jon, Mike, and Factorial's 6 hour show

no worries Jim!

Jon will there be a camera feed into the doom pantry?

sadly that's the pain with late night shows but we will blast the sludge in your honor

Just to say, I look forward to this show all week, and it's been excellent murder simulation music as well

You guys are awesome! I've been listening to this show for the past few weeks mostly while driving

Also, find me in the streets of S-Ville

"excellent murder simulation music" - add that to our portfolio

🤘🤘

Corporate radio sucks! I drive all day & it's WPRB or my ipod

Thanks Jim <3!

@Jim Q -- Emphatically agree! Same!

Yo yall need to slow down I'm on like twelve Lacroix and I still need to drive

I can't believe that there are this many Somerville (NJ and MA) related people like what how did this happen

how did we all congregate in this chat

This is RIPPING!

Matt Pike is all time great between Sleep and High on Fire

Yeooo ahab & flex!

thank you for playing fast songs too

@Dylan Lawrence -- Of course you're also a mean-streets-of-S-Ville dweller! All the cool kids... etc.! <3

dust, marky ramones' old band!

That Dust was out-of-control over-the-top amazing!

seriously excellent band

I've been a monthly donor since 11/19 So many bands I've found thanx 2 u

thank you Jim!!!

I first heard Dust on Desert Cruising a few years ago.

Dust was the one w the bass breakdown right?

WPRB IS FOR THE CHILDREN
