Welcome to the chat. Take a ticket with a number on it and your hoagies will be prepared to-order shortly.

Good at heaving a heavy body!

Are Pepperoncini‘s extra?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/jonsolomon/albums/72157718996138453

I'll throw in pepperoncini, banana peppers, peppadew shooters w/mozz n prosciutto

ha who’s missing ? i looked earlier because stitch pink mentioned in her FB

Postal cicada pics? You can ship honeybees thru US Mail.

Hey, Mark!

I left my phone in the car, otherwise I would have snapped a shot of this grossness.

You can ship scorpions too, but only live ones. Don't ask how I know.

I think cards 52 and 54 are MIA. Will review the stack! I like to go in order...

52...55...57...

thanks for posting them they r unbelievably amazing fantastic!

Yeah, I think I have a plan now for how best to display in the studio post-triumphant return.

I'm impressed the order was more or less intact, barring a few

A student mailed me a postcard in december, I didn't get it until May!

True indeed. If this was the prior WPRB address a few would have gone to the wrong departments, others would circulate for weeks without being delivered.

USPS is a mess but the mail delivery improvement is considerable with this new set-up.

hopefully flickr is still online and running until the sender completes their mailing :)

It is implied that 59 might be the last in the series for now.

Sahel once again ... love it

Maybe there are tracking #s?

I know you're a fan, Brian. This does factor into my playlist creation! Also, this was the last track I ran out of time for one week prior...

I have something else by that last artist 's relative ... Noura Mint Seymali. LP is Tzenni. Great stuff

what hoagie order # is ice station Solomon up to ?! i think i ordered on the prb request app

Number 1032? Anyone? 1032?

hahaha

& we can all blame captain ahab for getting us hungry w the hoagie talk / the inquirer veggie article was good review

I had the vegan Italian hoagie from Grindcore they listed before going to see a movie in 2019 and it was outstanding.

Cafe Con Leche in Newtown make an excellent vegan Italian as well, owned by the Luhv folks.

I had an excellent vegan pizza on Monday night in south jersey. Marinara pie with rabe and long hots. Spicy but not overwhelming!

thanks for that rec I’ve been meaning to try cafe leche quite a few Luhv locations

Luhv is everywhere. Impressive.

Luhv is all around = better.

@Mark they do a vegan cheesesteak as well that’s really good, some of the other items can be hit or miss. The soups are always fantastic

Chef Daniel L & family are great people. Believe I mentioned it before in chat that he used to work at Meils in Stockton way back. Cafe is great

Mi amigo Argentino

For a brief time they had a restaurant in Richboro called Patagonia

Sweet potato jalapeno soup yeah

This is an Admiral retort to Capt Ahab's Hawkwind closer.

Skies have very much opened up here, so if we lose connection please let me know!

Admirable*

Brian yes that potat-peno soup is spectacular!

Thunder here, rain not yet

No thunder, just sheets o' rain.

Yes indeed, Ahab's closer was of high quality.

His Balsamico dressing is great. Little farm grocery / dairy Tanners sells that . Maybe other stores too. And he had a Caesar dressing bottled for sale too. Not sure if that still exists.

Oh! That’s great to know, Tanners is right by me and that balsamico is indeed great, thanks!

Where is Tanners located? I wonder if it is the place I am thinking of.

I think technically Ivyland? But it’s right outside of Richboro

On 332/Almshouse road

It is by a carousel?

Ah, no. I think you’re thinking of Organons!

Aha!

Also a great market

Good ice cream next door too.

Indeed! And they used to have a good Indian food truck parked outside

thanks for all the suggestions here & the pizza recommendations a few weeks ago :)

Sallow - https://sallowtn.bandcamp.com/album/cloud-of-thought

Did I first hear this on Giants of Jazz? I suspect I did!

howdy

Hello Betsy 👋

Good evening everyone

Hey, BG and Rob!

Hey Jon. I'm really liking this 75 Dollar Bill piece

It is a slow burn. I am delighted they are putting live stuff on their Bandcamp. This is off the latest in that series.

hi DSM, Rob, Jon!

Also, gave me a moment to sneak off for a portobello and some mustard / potato / dill action.

omg portobello yes

this is a gorgeous track

helped me bang out part of a spreadsheet ;)

Portobello & 75 Dollar Bill a winning combination

Great band. Just a guitar player and a percussionist. Perfect for that.

I had a spreadsheet I had to deal with last Thursday night and thank goodness for WPRB as my soundtrack as I tried to crack it (took two days but ultimately - success!)

Hi ye Jon!

Welcome on in, Pat and Bo. All the stars are coming out tonight!

i need to wrangle some coffee and breakfast but i'll be listening

Breakfast?

I know there's a time difference where you are but...

Jon, did i tell you we were thinking about starting a record label?

Ha, thanks :), I am more of a shooting star

You did not!

i worked pretty late and then slept and have been working in bed but i need to get up and get food, so .... uh... brunch?

All Your Base Records (as in all you base are belong to us)

Also enjoying this track a lot!

All Your Bass?

mm hmmm

i was afraid people would pronounce it like the fish if we spell is bass

which would also be hilarious i suppose

One way to find out!

Had to check if the rumble I heard was the track or the sky (it was thunder).

What did everyone else have for dinner (or breakfast in some cases)?

Hi betsy and Bo

Jon, we have salad with avocado, and pelmeni. And rum with some watermelon juice

That is dinner. My breakfast this morning was bran and gran(ola), and a boiled egg

Had to look up pelmeni. Nicely done!

It is tasty. We've never had it before. Too bad we didn't have portobello to go with it

watermelon juice sounds good right about now

i am enjoying an iced coffee with homemade cashew mylk

So I've been naming the cicadas I've removed from my car tires, or picking up off the street, after WPRB djs. It's sort of like the postcard project but only for shows I've be listening to. Jon, I named a couple after you

which reminds me of the way coffee fribble if anyone remembers those from Friendly's

of the way coffee fribbles tasted

I got a coffee on Monday that I think they forgot to put the coffee in. 16 oz of straight oat milk, baby!

betsy, iced coffee at 6:40 pm? That sounds kind of late

Just finished a big bowl of buttered egg noodles with some green beans and radish and a fried egg on top. Scrapping tonite

I returned it (which I never do) and they tried to explain what lattes were to me. So I suggested they try my drink. Because there was no coffee to be found.

@Jon, I hope you didn't *need* that coffee on Monday...

Take two was comically bitter but I just went with it. Because at least the coffee was present.

Radish, yum

Good work, DSM. Excellent meals, all!

@Jon, I'm glad you did finally get coffee on Monday

Rob, i am on the west coast and currently operating on DJ hours

due to being at a festival with some DJ friends last week in TN

but yes, it is late for coffee!

betsy, I see. Don't stay up _too_ late (or latte)

Cheesy cauliflower!

That segue should provide an extra jolt or two.

is 6:30am too late?

Pethie! Friday's finest in the house!

caffeine via music. i like it!

SABBATH!!!

That last track was aiding my digestion.

I hadn't planned on more Upper Wilds but then they went and dropped that cover on us.

Same, Pethie. Perfect soundtrack here as well.

There’s a lotta fingers on that Upper Wilds cover.

jon, have you heard ill.gates "more tea"?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r_m_NDOC28

that's another fun "aid digestion"-type song vibe

imho

I will try and check that out post-show.

Remind me if you can!

That rocked.

i'll email it to ya

The new Upper Wilds album is as catchy as it is loud. Almost makes me mad how they find hooks in the din.

ooo this is nice

reminds me of Stranger Things

“Hooks in the din” is a wonderful phrase

indeedn

Ol' din hooks get me every time!

just tuned in, exactly what I needed : )

Glad to have you on board, Guelo.

Some cicada-esque sounds deep in this mix.

Oh man, how many cicadas were inside the post office?

Rob, I take no pleasure in saying "over 100 easy."

I was VERY SURPRISED and also pitying the person who probably had to broom them up after I left.

Were they dead, or alive?

That is a lot of cicadas for an indoor location

They were very much alive.

Not the shells either.

Yikes. A lot of misguided cicadas

Rob, why did you mail WPRB all these cicadas from your brood?

Um, well, urrr,

Oh, right, because I was all out of postcards

@Jon, Bealtainne is the old Irish Gaelic for May Day.

Our USPS location handled Phila Zoo shipments.We often had broken cricket box invasions.

Hi Rob and all listening!

Postcards ✅ cicadas 🚫

Thank you, Bo! I knew it was somehow seasonal. Much appreciated.

live music?!

Diggin' Literature

Yes. I've been playing a session taped at WPRB in the third hour of my show every Wednesday.

Started with an early 2020 session, we're backwards in time to 2014 now.

Will continue to do so until the WPRB staff is reunited in the station (and might keep it going after potentially).

sweet

@Jon, " local" band?

Texas -> Philly.

Two of the members went on to a group called Tres Oui.

Ah!

One of my faves tonight... usually a weekend thing: oven warm baguette, St Andre triple cream brie cheese, uncured Genoa salami, mixed olives, green salad w/cukes/shredd carrot n purple cabbage, some mustards n spicy harissa spread for the bread/cheese/charcutes and a nice bottle of Italian organic red vino.... mmmm

Dang, Brian!

It is really easy. The list sounds like a bunch. But that is an easy, tired from work or play, come home & throw together w/no effort. I mean I did not have to bake the bread, cure the sausage, make the cheese so ya easy.

Hi Bo!

Now I'm getting hungry, sounds delish Bri

Another impressive assortment of meals in the chat tonight.

Brian, delicious

Altomontes in Doylestown and Trader Joe's for the wins on the ingredients. And a bit of the local CSA vegs but we ate just about all of our share in less than a week. Tomorrow is replenish night at the farm! Fennel, broccoli, dandelion & collard greens added to the shares this week! Still pick yer own strawberries 2 qts wow thought they'd run out.

Do not fret! Chat remains open until the top of the hour, then refresh for Mike's show chat please.

thnx Jon

Bunkum and tommyrot...

In equal measures!

ha nice show but I’m still waiting for my hoagie ticket # to be called :)

1033? Ticket 1033? Anyone?

Hmmm. Ticket 0001?

Great show! I listened making dinner and now I have to go back and see what a few of those were :)

Thanks for listening, James. What did you make?

Delicious!

Thanks

Me? No hoagie on my docket tonight. Had a nice meal between songs.

Ah. Cool.

A little Bevis Frond to wrap up our evening. Mike will be up shortly. See you in his chat!

Great show Jon as per! Peace.

See ya soon, Bo.

Great show, thanks, Jon

Be well, Rob!

You too! Hopefully no more cicadas in your future!
