The chat is live, the show is go and YOU ARE A PART OF IT!

GO GO GO 👨‍🍳❤️📻

Great to have you with us tonight, Chef.

WPRB is a Go! Work bell ding. Tired. Shot #2 yesterday wooohooo

Oh amazing! Hope you're able to take it easy for the next 24 hours just in case...

Thanks @jon. Blasting your show for the dinner rush. The kitchen says hi! Also WOOO @brian

Congrats Brian! Hope it passes soon

Cook er up Em

Ya thanks. Same as last time. Just a bit of fatigue and sore arm 24 hrs later. That means it's working

Excellent. I was way sleepy for the entire day after. Three naps! It knocked my wife out for two days. My folks on the other hand, nuthin. Which was best case!

I will champion this Mountain High 45 until every household has a copy. You won't regret it.

Emeril (or anyone else), please remind me I need to put the oven on at 5:30 ET!

This RIPS! Plus Hot Dog City.

I know it’s been a long work day bc I just put the cutting board in the fridge instead of the veggies I just cut up.

Hey chef, cutting boards don’t go in the fridge, right?

Seconded - that was a ripper. I’m settling in now.

Another W3dn3sdaynight with fr1dayafternoon.

Of couse, cutting boards go in the fridge! You don't wanna temperature shock your veggies from fridge before slicing!

What are you making, Fr1?

Just a boring garden salad. Making burgers for dinner next.

Hello everyone! Yes, that Mountain High track ruled!

Yeah, I think we've got veggie burgers on the docket.

@Brian D, guess it's shot week for Brians. I'm getting my first one here in Canada tomorrow!

Oh that's great to hear, Brian. Second person I know in Canada getting their shot in as many days. I hope the supply/demand issues are getting better!

Way to go Brian

Supply/availability haven't been the best here, but looks like it's getting a little better. I qualify at 34 because of my organ transplant and in turn, compromised immune system.

Gotcha. Hope it goes well and that there are better days ahead.

@JS 2Brian D Thanks!

** @Brian D

Love the set so far

Glad to have you on board, Dave.

Oven is on!

Now to blip and bloop for a spell...

Had to take off my headphones because I could not tell if the low rumble in this track was the piece that was playing or a last storm rolling through. Seems like the former...

I didn’t think I’d like this when it first started. But, here I am, enjoying it.

Yeah, it is the extended coolout I personally needed today.

Curious now to hear others in this series. Apparently there are 16, each by a different artist with an accompanying video.

Interesting stuff. I've heard a few Joyfultalk tracks, but haven't had a chance to hear this one until now.

I don't know anything about them!

A lot going on even when it seemed to mellow out. But none of the sounds are abrasive and I think that’s what’s grabbing me for now at least.

Or how this crossed my radar while the others didn't.

Yeah, it is rhythmic but also quite off-kilter.

Appreciate you joining me on this journey!

The only other release I've heard from this series is Fly Pan Am's contribution. It is also quite good.

I'll try and check it out between this show and the next. I do enjoy their work.

I am beyond excited for this upcoming Daniel Bachman album

Last spring I finally grabbed Morning Star. When Three Lobed emailed me my tracking they said something like “If you like this one you’ll love what’s on his next album.” And then it finally got announced a couple weeks ago.

I'm glad to hear that. It is lovely. A lot of found sound.

Corey from Three Lobed has been a good friend to WPRB. Much appreciated.

Happy Birthday, Jon!

Great show Mr. Solomon, enjoying it! And I'll be watching the 'Why Am I Doing This' doc after the show. Wasn't Green Room the shit?

Thanks, Kelly! If you like this show I think you'll dig the doc and recognize more than a few faces in it.

Much appreciated, Rob!

Green Room really, really, really unsettled me at times.

It's shot 2 day for Matt! He's already feeling it. Happy he's protected.

Wow this is great Vega cover

Amazing news, Krista! Rest well, Matt.

YAY!!! So glad for Matt, @Krista -- for all of you, Chez Habitat!

Thanks, Theresa, all adults in our house have now had 2 shots!! I look forward to the time when children can be vaccinated.

Congrats Krista & household!

Thanks, Brian! Feels like a long, long snowbound winter is finally thawing

Veggie burgers and potato salad have been housed to the sounds of Rachel Musson.

Amazing flute tonguing on this. Takes a lot of practice to do that, took me years to be able to do it.

I am quite taken with this record. Hard to keep up with all the 577 Records releases!

I only know of recorder tonguing.

Stammer = guitarrifics

I think this 10" is their first vinyl release.

If you haven't seen the video for this new Red Fang song it is pretty ridiculous. I linked it in the playlist. A sequel of sorts to their video where they drove through various things.

I do not see seltzer in the video.

I accept your hat-tip omnidirectionally, and doff mine in return with a sweeping bow!

Thank you, Jimbeaux!

I love these 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡s.

Chicken sausage, onions, peppers, beet kraut, potatoes.

I was told I had to reverse the album name so their Sub Pop debut would be a surprise. The record is called Blood Sugar Sex Traffic.

Sounds good, Brian!

Bugs Boogers Hex Graphics

Dig the Gotobeds. When was this recording? I missed it

4/14/15.

The set list photo is embedded in the playlist. Glad I kept it!

happy belated bday, jon!

Thanks again, Esoterica. Was a nice one. Still is!

good! nice tunes.

Yeah, this session was especially fun to engineer. Someday we'll do these again!

BTW did you, during our interview, hear mike polizze give a shout out to you about playing with birds of may at PRB?

birds of maya

I missed that. I caught most of the earlier interview that day with The World Takes folks however! If we're still broadcasting from home in 2023 we'll get to that session then...

actually, he was reminiscing that the only time he played at PRB was when he played on your shows years ago!

but a future session would be great

Late to the party, but noting this reminds me of "Hip Priest" by The Fall...

Hey Chris! Based on the ending I believe the band agrees!

2023..... ha?

THE HIT

Well, this is session 239 and we're counting backwards...

Looks like Birds of Maya was #93.

See you in 146 weeks!

Sorry, was off by two. 144 weeks!

Something to look forward too. It tends to be the next song for me.

Same, Mike. Same.

loved that old gotobeds set! oh, live music...!

It is an especially good one.

As we make our final descent, it was a delight hanging out with you all in the Listener Chat tonight!

Hope to see you back around these parts.

See you over in Mike's chat after the top of the hour. Refresh your browser at 8:00 pm ET to take you there...

Is that a Kora? So soothing...

Credits don't list instruments but they are from Senegal.

Super soothing.

JON

THE OVEN

Kora seems likely then. Also, sorry I missed "Microphone Fiend." There was a nice clip circulating on Twitter recently of DMX being a fanbiy with Rakim.

Chef, thank you. It happened at 5:30 pm ET as I planned.

Veggie burgers were not veggie burners. Mike is next!
