Good Morning, clashers!

PRB is kicking out the jams this morning!

We are!

blurt!!

Hello Pethie! Ohmme my gosh this is great.

Ha! I agree!

hi pethie! rather appropriate label for this one :)

Hey Mark!

was up late listening to number 6 and lizbot ,set my alarm for 9am, missed the beginning of Breezy's show, but the vibe started in the early hours of the am

I finally remembered to tune in.

DJ Breezy is great! Her morning show gets me going

Hey, morning Stevie!

Howdy Pethie

Hi jimbeaux, kentman, welcome to the show

thank you pethie <3 i am loving your show today!

thank you!!!

Pethie powerclash is happening

Morning Selecta Jerry!

Good morning to you and all the good chatters

hmmm 1981 why does that music year sound familiar to power clashers ? :)

gee whiz, I don't know???? ;)

So...?

New Clasher wants to know

haha u gotta listen to next years power clashing to understand!! :)

1981 is a magical year for music for me. It's around that time that I started to get into 'new wave', and all this crazy fun stuff was coming out of the UK--synth pop and post punk...

*drive show

See the April 13th playlist.

thanks OG Clashers

You're one of us now, Stevie...

but my personal preference is the 1979 drive show theme :)

one of us one of us one of us

1979 was a fabulous year too!

haha u know the chant stevie: one of us one of us :)

Loved the Maximum Joy track. Searching for the lyrics I came across a 2019 Charlotte Richardson Andrews interview in The Guardian with co-founder Janine Rainforth. Worth reading.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W99n083E0IA

love this song Pethie, thank you!

Glad you were enjoying it, Peter! I will try and check out the article.

Thankyew!

ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ--gotta love that Prince Randian...

@kentman--you are welcome!

Prince Randian could roll his own cigarettes.

He was amazing! He's my favorite part of Freaks

and as we who pore over mysterious post cards know the name of the show is : PWRCLSHNG !*!*!

Another clue!

Those postcards are a supreme delight in their mystery and execution.

haha maybe it’s a clue from the sender or just joyful noise !

THANK YOU for playing Polyrock!!

Oh you're welcome, Diane!!!

I think they are so underrated. Their sound is so pleasing to me; I wish they had made more music.

Oh, Happy May the Fourth if you celebrate!

Sometimes they left the dog out. Bonzo nomenclature variation

No wonder I get so confused.

Sometimes they left the doo dah in...

I like to leave the doo dah in...

and i completely forgot why some may celebrate today as a holiday:)

I must admit, I forgot too. I like Star Wars, but not enough, I suppose.

May The Fourth be with you

And to you!

But I am a big fan of Lando.

I did see the first one / apparently there’s more in the series ?!

A few.

Love Juana!

Hello, my Juana Molina sensors just tripped.

Juana sensors ACTIVATE!

Haha! The Force is strong with her.

Yes!

Hi Pethie! running around doing bee things, so mostly away from a keyboard, but I'm listening!!

I was driving around Bucks County and you are killing it, Peth!

John: bzzzzzzzzzz! Tell the bees I said hello!

Loved the Juana Molina....

I will. bzzzzzzzz

Thank you @esoterica!

@Daniel Buskirk she's so great.

thank you!

yo John...beekeeper, too? swarmy time of year.

I had my juana sensors beeping too:)

Beekeepers unite!

TODD

I've been digging around Todd's albums...enjoying what I find.

I was thinking of starting beekeeping. But maybe starting small, with just one bee.

That's wise, ǝʌɐꓷ. Ramp it up to maybe 4 eventually

How about a Todd interview on PRB?

Does he still have a connection to the area?

todd would b a great interview get / lottsa angles

sounds like a job for esoterica!!

Don't know if I've ever played Lee Wiley.,..

She's fun. Despite her lack of mischief.

& lizbot collaboration too : todd just joined up with sparks for the 1st time in 50 years

power clashing is power crushing it

thanks, Stevie!

DTO...one bee. Hilarious! Typically 50,000 in one colony, so slow & steady wins the race :)

mael bros described their new single w todd as “working together again after a brief 50 year hiatus” :)

Time means nothing to the Maels.

Sometimes I wish I just had a handful o' bees and not half a million unruly ones.

Clap along while contorting yourself

I'm too busy taking out all this brain garbage

haha clapping along / is this james white or black or chance ?

James Chance!

man of many names, he is.

contort yourself while holding handfuls of unruly bees

haha he went by many / looks like this is the august darnell aka kid creole remix !

i plan to announce to the bees in my back yard that henceforth, i will be their handler

WPRB listeners make excellent bee keepers, so I have the utmost faith in your success.

keeper. i said handler.

Chance track Made me think of Rapture "Out of the Races and onto the Tracks" Heard that on prb every day when that was out.

krista gonna have to interview jimbeaux as the resident bee expert/ I’d love to hear all about his 500k colony

bee handler is something else, like those guys who wear bee beards

Oh! Gotcha.

Let a bumblebee outside after listening to it buzz against the glass in my waking moments. Felt like a proud parent, seeing the kid off to school...

really crazy lyrics to that julia holter song ...

Mark, that whole album is a treasure.

The great Maddy Prior

a treasure of crazy

Jethro Tull as Maddy's backing band on this LP

Oh! I didn't know that!

I seriously have trouble saying Todd's last name.

Thanks for the shout-out!

Yer welcome!

Those recent 24-Carat Black releases (of old unreleased stuff) have been fantastic....

thank you for the show / the two hours flew by - i swear this station bends time forward :)

great show. lots of clashing. powerful clashing, i like it.

Thank you, folks!

Good time Pethie!

Thanks! Having good folks in the chat definitely adds to the good time!

Stick around for jazz at noon, I have some great mbira music in the opening set....

Love the mbira! My grandparents had one, I used to love to play it when I was little.

Yeah, their sound always gets me. Drummer Chad Taylor has a whole new record playing it...

thanks pethie! missed bee chat...had to step away.

Thanks for tuning in, everybody! Keep on listening to WPRBeeeeeeee

Next: Dan Buzzzzzkirk, on WPRBeeeee

i have to confess something but it turned out alright;) I caught a bee in my kitchen in a plastic bag and forgot about him for a moment, then panicked that they would suffocate. luckily I let him outside, and he was pissed (as per the manic buzzing), yet hearty. go, bee!

it's all good, esoterica!!!
