Hey, chat! Welcome aboard for another Wednesday!

show got off to good start w the commie Francis ID ! maybe my fav of the new ones

Clock out!

Clock out, tune in.

I want to hear the Factorial redo of the sweet potato pie id again. I think that is who did that? Heard it over the winter i believe

lol

never knew the back story of the orsen welles ID bit was until recently - it’s amazing / ... norway fish fingers there’s a fjord ... :)

It me

It you?

It you!

Yo yo JS and chat. Nice pick with LIDS. Actually heard this one for the first time earlier today while prepping my radio show.

Cards 1-55 have been scanned, a couple between 56-64 are missing in the post but I'll get them on the scanner later this week.

Yeah, Maria T hipped me to LIDS yesterday and I put this jammer in the leadoff slot right away!

When and where is your show, Brian?

Nice, I see they have one other single from a few years back I still must hear

Same.

My show called Chin Music airs on Radio Western here in London, Ontario Fridays from noon to two Eastern. https://radiowestern.ca/stream

Nice. I will try and remember to tune in one Friday!

Yes Mark the full audio of cranky Orson trying to read ad copy for frozen food co is great! "I take direction from ONE person under protest!...."

And archives are up here, though a little behind on posting. https://www.mixcloud.com/chrwchinmusic/

hahaha just heard the full commercial take it is sooo great that it got turned into an ID i. appreciate it more :)

@Brian, I think the audio is on one of those Celebrities At Their Worst CD compilations. A lotta impressive swearing on those discs. Earl Weaver, Casey Kasem, etc...

@brian k London ont: home of the knights!

@Jon thanks for asking and that'd be rad!

@Mark indeed! although I'm more of a baseball fan

Added the station to my reading list so I hopefully remember...

really digging this!

I wondered if you might. One of the members of this band used to be in UI with WPRB's own Wilbo!

so u must b jays fan huh ?!

https://bodymetaband.bandcamp.com/album/the-work-is-slow

I still need to go see the Jays' AAA team, who are playing in Trenton since their home in Buffalo is being used by their MLB parent.

@Jon appreciate it! this track is ace, love Ui always wondered if their members were doing anything else these days.

They're Trenton at home and Buffalo on the road!

Their drummer Clem was crackerjack. No idea if he still plays.

@Mark Yes Jays fan over here. I gotta say I've fallen off the last few years though, need to start catching more games.

Yeah this is great!

haha I’m a buffalo native so i have to go to trenton soon to see the “bisons” ive been following jays for ages as i used to go to TO a lot & now they’re play in bflo until border restrictions ease

I put ur radio station in my radio garden app I’ll b trying out the show too :)

@Jon interesting. They Might Be Giants and Raymond Scott Orchestrette too.

Did any of you have Record Store Day titles you hoped to find and were you able to track them down?

this one must b quite fresh / looks like im shazam #1 - surprised it was found as u say b release aug

Yep, not out for a while! New name for me though apparently they're from the Philly area.

12XU does it again!

very nice sound when does lilli do the new music hour for summer sched?

Good question for music@wprb.com. Not sure if that's still part of Tommy's show or not!

he said yesterday when i asked he relinquished for the summer / im sure find out soon enough :)

@Mark nice! The last Jays games I got to see were unbelievable. 2 days in a row against the A's back in 2017 and they won both with walk off homers. And I really appreciate you checking out my show in future.

Usually I'm good with questions like this one, @Mark but you've stumped me.

haha im an extreme loyal prb listener but will be checking the show out / only other interesting station I’ve found recently is 1033 Asheville it truly is prb doppelgänger!

O ya that's where Greg Lyons of Good Bad & the Ugly show is now. Former PRB DJ. Same show name down there I think

Didn't realize Luggage were back. Loved their last album.

SWAG Has Landed! A fine yellow tee in the mailbox w/pin & patch. Thank you all at WPRB!

yes that’s how i found it / lizbot mentioned his show it’s on friday & a lot of shows sound like they could b prb except w kinda twangy voice dj’s:)

Amazing. Wear it all in good health, Brian (though perhaps not three items at once but you do you).

The Luggage press release reads like a sting operation trying to bait me in.

"Like a more tightly wound Silkworm or a more dire Lungfish..."

Ashville FM is good stuff.

yeah now I’m really wanting to visit Asheville/ looks & sounds like a great town

I've never been (when I go to NC is it almost always around the Research Triangle) but those who have visited rave.

Will put a vote in for 'tis a cool place' Haven't been back in ten years tho.

Glad to have you back in the chat, DSM.

Hello Jon, thanks and glad to be here!

I recent saw photos of a spot east of Pittsburgh I want to get to this summer.

Sorry, west of Pittsburgh.

https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/KinzuaBridgeStatePark/Pages/default.aspx

That drone was great

Yeah, I appreciated that it developed into a bit more "song" than straight drone. Hello, Fr1day!

That place looks cool, the sky walk looks a little questionable, as half of it is scattered about on the hills haha

Yeah bounced just enough while still droning a bit

looks like great Pittsburgh spot / rail trail from pitt to Cumberland md is supposed to be fantastic

@Mark wow, I hadn't heard of that rail trail, will have to investigate that sounds fantastic! Wonder if there is camping along it

Doesn't that look wild? Hopefully one weekday we can make the journey.

yeah it does look amazing a quick look at reviews didn’t mention camping but there must be grounds along the way / they mention hostels & bnbs - can get all the way to dc whe u connect up w another trail

I will admit I haven't done much research beyond "what" and "where" after seeing a western PA pal's photo.

great record store i went into during porchfest sat is the store at 48th & Baltimore in west philly

called common beat music

LJJ!!

As for the RSD topic, nothing caught my eye, but I did hit up PREX the day before and had quite the success with the $2 cds. Also got a royal trux record for $3, among some other good vinyl finds.

Nice. I would not have gone if it wasn't for the friend in town but I am glad I did.

Have been burned on the sound quality of a couple RSD live LPs in the past but I quickly asked the Internet and people said the Verlaines 2xLP is super.

I hadn’t been in over a year. Always good to check in.

Yeah, I love it but I tend to stay away due to $$$ constraints!

It will indeed empty the wallet.

Did put the other Brainiac 2xLP back of Tim Taylor attic demoes because I couldn't justify buying three different double LPs in one afternoon.

May regret that? Time will tell.

JSAKI

Jon Solomon Always Kills It!

ATCB (aw thanks, Cubby Beech).

Tonight's doom drone scored-dinner was two kinds of pierogi with a side salad.

that was great wow...

Was eating to that as well! Spaghetti and vegan meatballs, Gardein brand, actually quite good. And broccoli.

Doom drone was nice to eat too 👍

Excellent. We have a new grocery store in town and I am curious to check out their promised fake meat options like meatballs.

Is not was apparently...

Your journey is nearly complete.

Steer clear of morning star’s meatballs, very mushy/pastey.

omg i was racing in here to say 1 l

Thank you, Commie!

I shouldn't second-guess myself, but seeing that second "L" in the press release gave me a moment of pause...

Wow this takes me back. Hard to believe this was 7 years ago already. 2014 is when I discovered your show and I think these were the first sessions I caught in full.

Woah, crazy!

The photo in the playlist of the Joe and Marissa is pretty cute. Look at those kids!

A late chat check-in today, due to driving errands. Jon, your sets kept me company in some aggressive traffic. 👋 Hey, all!

Hadn't heard of Noun or Screaming Females before. The moment Marissa struck those notes on the guitar from the upcoming session has been imprinted in my brain ever since.

Hey, CD! Hopefully the worst of the road is behind you today.

That's an excellent aural memory.

It is now! People were just a little crazy at times behind the wheel.

oh damn, and her backups on this song, totally forgot but quite lovely

I don't know if it is people returning to more regular car use but my wife thinks that people have uniformly been driving, uh, poorly recently.

The album art for Body Meta's album The Work is Slow is mesmerizing. It looks like plumbing designed by AI.

I've been driving about the same amount since March 2020 and I tend to agree with Jon's wife, that people are driving more poorly than in the before times

@Jon, I agree with your wife about instances of poor driving.

Isn't that crazy, Christine? It looks like melting solder.

Only official version I can find of this song is acoustic, I like this one best

I don't know if it is the same thing as when people were acting a fool at multiple sporting events when basketball started having full arenas again recently and people forgot how to behave but perhaps

AJon, I LOVE the album cover! It's so mysterious. I need to find the artist/AI responsible and find out more.

Let me see if I can turn that info up for ya.

As a friend of WPRB might say...BAM!

Thank you, Jon! ⭐ And thank you, Chef Emeril, wherever you are...

I half-expect I just summoned them.

Weird, I guess I don't have Emeril-summoning powers...yet.

Perhaps a word was missed in the summoning...

Happy Bloomsday, all.

ha just discover this one yesterday for bloomsday !!!

That's right!! I totally forgot.

Hi, Mark! 👋

My friend Dave reminded me of it inadvertently and into the playlist it went!

@christine why do u think there was all those crazy drivers today / bloomsday celebrators

@Mark, now there's an idea. It's possible!

& the music was inspired by bloomsday / in esoterica fantastic conversation w watt he let it b known ullyseus one of his favorite

@Jon fwiw Mike has had a playlist set up for tonight for the past couple of hours or so

hope everyone’s been reading their Joyce all week :)

@Rob, my condolences on the disappearing Magicicadas.

Interesting. Thanks, Rob.

Perfect call on Minutemen. Who knows when this show may fall on June 16 again.

Christine, thanks. None of the species are making noise, most of them on the ground are moribund, and most of the ones that can actually fly are obviously fungus-infected

I’ll enter the mirror

But the healthy one I picked up on my walk this morning I named Mike Lupica and then put it on a tree

That is a sad update Rob

Great Minuteman choice, Jon.

2027 is the next time.

@You did? I have a feeling that Mike Lupica would be touched by that gesture.

Let's all meet back here then (but hopefully sooner).

DSM, I know. Though I slightly overstated...none of the species are making much noise. A single dzdzDZDZ here and there, and at the edge of my admittedly damaged hearing, the alien spacecraft noise

@Christine I hope so

Thank you, Jon for another inspiring show 🙏

@Jon let's meet here on June 23, 2021 instead of waiting to 2027

You have a deal!

Hope to be here next week and in 2027 too

Good night everyone!

what was film that one from
