lizbot present!

gonna play a whole lotta new stuff today!

also, my AC is broken and I'm melting

Hi Lizbot!!! How's everything in "Birdland"?

Hi Alan! no birds sighted yet

@Alan - Other than my conure complaining that I'm not hanging with him right now. He would eat my mic cord immediately

hi lizbot now u have me researching into daniela too / there were only 20 shazam on the one u played

Boy have I got some good news for you, I heard that the "Singing Bird Clock" has been Digitally Remastered, Wow ain't that great?? :) a bird sound every hour...!

Hi Mark - Yeah, and I'm annoyed there's almost no information on Discogs, just who she was married to and her daughter

cha cha cha cha. I can safely say this is the first time I've played Delius by Kate Bush on this show

@Alan - Oh man. I might have to get that to annoy my kid. My friend's mom had one in her kitchen for years. Maybe she needs an upgrade

ha u must have kate entire catalogue covered now :) this is a great one i haven’t heard in ages

You said you have a pet Parrot??

@ALan - I have a Crimson-Bellied Conure named Fripp (for Robert Fripp of King Crimson) who is very very spoiled

@ Lizbot I could just imagine Fripp attacking the Bird Clock, Ha! I saw the commercial and thought of you...

@Alan - and he's not allowed in here when I'm doing my show for MANY reasons, not the least of which is his predilection for chewing cords, especially mic cords! He also would complain loudly that I'm busy doing my show. Normally he just sits on my shoulder

i hope the sultry evening has u in a mellow mood / we’re all coming off mickeys ripper 500th episode !

@Mark - Yeah, I was listening to Delius in the Pine Barrens on the way to dropping Hattie off at summer camp a week ago because she's taking a deep dive into KB's catalogue and is a huge KB fan, and I was really digging it and had forgotten about that one. I hadn't listened to Never For Ever in a while

hopefully nite of thousand Kate can safely return live next year

@Mark - I hope so....But ALSO, I actually REALLY LOVED the zoom version a lot. First off, my 12 year-old Kate Bush obsessed daughter was able to watch the entire thing the next day without going to bed super-late, and I was able to rewatch it, which I did about 3 times! I think they did an amazing job. The organizers really pulled it off. I'd like future Night of 1000 Kates to be streamable too

O yes yes!

haha ive watched part of it too on YT / i only learned of it from ++ good

Hi Brian D!

@Mark - Glad you saw some of it, and I'm glad to have alerted you to it!

@Mark - Its founder and co-organizer is a WPRB DJ - Jetty on the Rocks! They haven't been on for a couple of seasons, but they're around and will probably be back at some point. They come and go.

haha didn’t know that either! Jetty has a great show so many amazing prb dj’s

Lizbot! I've missed your show lately glad to catch your show tonight

i saw Adam at the keswick few years ago / he played kings of wild frontier

Hi Tyler B! Good to hear from you!

@Tyler B- Doing LRB so I didn't see your comment until after getting off the mic. Glad you can catch the show tonight!

@Mark - Nice! Yeah, I saw him on a week where I'd scheduled entirely too many shows and was tired. A bunch of women who were likely teens in the 80s were going nuts for him. He still had the pirate look for that show.

My new theme song...I have FOUND it!

https://spectrumculture.com/2016/08/15/daniela-casa-arte-moderna/ just one of a couple web references to daniela

now for some Philly music...Lilys!

Hi jimbeaux!

@jimbeaux - haha, yes! to be played on a boombox on your shoulder every time you walk in public!

@Mark - Thanks! I'll check out that Daniela link when I get a second

@mark - I opened it. don't have time to read it now, but bookmarking for later. There was one label who released a small collection of her work a few years back. This article might've coincided with that release

the music site forced exposure has some interesting info too

Lilys = Good music for a Conure to dance to??

& a psa for double plus listeners: the shows r rebroadcast in prime relistening time 7-10am sunday

oh no :(

Oops Loss of Signal..

Yeah the Sunday am replay is great.

(shakes fist at the heavens)

Oh nooo :(

Maybe her computer ded

Guys! My power in my whole house just went out!

My internet is dead now. Using data plan on cell phone to log into Spinitron here and tell you. Argh!!! Was excited about today’s show!

🤢

So Carl our tech guy just put on an old episode. Is that coming through yet??

DAAAAAaaaammit

Yes it is

I so sowwy

I can’t believe this because it’s not that windy here. Acme power near me is out too though. They’re on a generator now

Is it rain?

Apparently an old ++good from Feb 10th is on now

@TB - it is pouring in northwest Philly where I am

Calling PECO

Omg wait ur in phillY? I’m in fishtown and it is so fine

just about to ask about this show /

Literally no rain right now here

TB, you’re like 30 minutes from me though. You’ll probably see this rain later

True

We should link up somtim

I was just about to head to Abington arts show tonite / no rain here yet but look ominous

Lol! That’s where I grew up

What’s even playing right now? I can’t listen! I’m gonna try playing it off data plan but I should conserve phone battery. Crap crap crap! I’m so mad! I spent a long time prepping for today’s show, and I just got my daughter’s cold, but I was hepped up on show adrenaline!

@TB - whereabouts?

Abington, where mark said

@mark - who’s playing Abington Art Center tonight?

@mark- at least they have a covered area for performers

sparks wss 1st song now tommy James playing on prb

@TB - Ah. I’m in Philly proper, near Germantown Ave. But Abington is like 15/20 min from me

Pop up T Storms all over the place like an Italian soccer match...Sorry Liz...

Santana musics band / on covered pavilion tonite last week was indoor in a gallery room

@TB - and one of my in-laws lives in Abington so I’m there a lot. My kid takes classes at Abington Art Center sometimes

Wait I think there is some confusion, I live in fishtown now, but grew Up in Abington right near the art center

That’s so funny tho

haha I can play dj as I’m Shazaming - Catherine ribeiro now ! :)

Aaaah. Well, she’s appropriate for a weird stormy night.

Seriously, what the hell, guys?! It’s not even that windy here! I’m used to losing power in winter storms because of snow and ice weight downing wires. But this is dumb.

pj harvey now for those who don’t recognize

My husband is going to go knock on a neighbor’s door to see if they have an estimate from PECO. So far PECO’s website has NO estimate for when we’ll be back on the grid. 😿

A morning shower or two, then showers and a heavier t-storm; storms can bring flooding downpours, large hail and damaging winds

@Paul- Yeah, evidently! Caught me by surprise! I mean I haven’t been out in a couple of hours, but I haven’t seen much wind out my window

@ Lizbot We had an outage here in Philly once, some crazy driver had knocked out a power line...yours may not be storm related..

the silver lining is that this a good show that’s being replayed/ it’s the 2/11 that they started from beginning

WOW. Just WOW. Okay, so I wish I could upload photos here. I now know what’s going on. I’m on the 2nd fl in back room where my computer is so I didn’t know that a MASSIVE tree came down across the street and severed our power lines! It narrowly missed our fence.

It sucks about the power outage, Liz Bot. 🤖 🔋 🌩

daf playing now / kinda funny looking back at the archived chat like going back in a time machine as to what we were chatting about :)

Wow! Lucky the tree didn't hit the fence.

wow sorry to hear about that - that is major:(

This show is tremendous.

Hi Lizbot and double plus gooders. Yikes about the tree!! I'm glad it didn't hit any houses

A few weeks back Liz had joked about parking her old car under a tree and collecting the insurance! Gotta be careful what you joke about..Mother Nature!

@Liz Bot, I appreciate all the work you put in to create each week's show. I'm looking forward to when you CAN broadcast!

I hope your power is restored soon, Lizbot

Christine, are you asking her to play Can? ;-)

Okay, this is nuts. Usually that’s where my husband’s car is parked. Thankfully he didn’t put it there today!

@Rob, I wasn't but I am now! What a great idea 💡

Lizbot, I'm glad your husband didn't park there today

Warrington PA now getting clobbered w Tstorm moving NE

Bollywood!

Hanks for the real world

This Bollywood track is nice

We still luck out: this doubleplusgood episode is a gem. 💎 Bollywood rhythms.

Some ++Good listeners might be interested to know that The New Abnormal tomorrow morning 7-10 is presenting a 3 hour tribute to Jon Hassell. If the transmitter still works.

Is anyone else hearing some sort of static in the stream right now?

@Dave the Obscure, that's some appointment radio right there. Set your alarm clocks, gang!

should be a great TNA tomorrow/ transmitter is fine on fm right now

I'm hearing frequent static, every few seconds, it's rather loud. Is anyone else hearing that?

Here is the current vintage proxy thunderstorm playlist: https://spinitron.com/WPRB/pl/12603124/DoublePlusGood

I am not hearing the station at all, either on Apple Music, or from the website

Now I can here the station from the website with the same short frequent static noise

I checked the stream, and heard no static.

Glenside Pa and no static on the radio,

My stream is coming in loud and clear here in MA

Thanks, Dave, I'm thinking it's at my end. I can't get anything to play other than WPRB on either the web or on Apple Music. I'm going to restart my laptop

Hi Teresa! It’s not live. That’s a recording of my show from 2/10. Our power lines are completely severed by a massive tree. See my Facebook post. I’m using my data plan on my phone to chat here. The whole block is out

This time it’s not even the transmitter. It’s my neighbor’s tree! 🌳 🌧

I wish you guys could see this. Im going to post a link to my Facebook page here with the photo. Link might not work

Genisis playing now, you can check the playlist for Feb 11 and follow from here

@Alan, thanks for the the info.

Bill Nelson up next... as Alan plays DJ...Ha!!

yes it’s actually a very good ++ good show /

Bill Nelson ! Yay.

See if this works. Probably will make FB users sign in first

https://www.facebook.com/1516324991/posts/10225559057072723/

just saw the tree !! :((

@Liz Bot, yep the FB link works. That is some crazy damage. ⚠

Karel Fialka up next..

I'm back after restarting my laptop and eating some ice cream. The static noise and other problem has gone away. Enjoying Bill Nelson fading away rn

I can't see the facebook photo (I don't have an account). I'll just imagine one of the tall trees on our block falling on wires :-(

we now almost exactly when tree hit power line 5:44 :( ironically Lilly’s generator song just a bit earlier

Patrick Cowley next

Kinda fun listening to the Lizbot "Bot" !!

@Alan - 😂 yeah. It’s weird for me!

@Mark - haha, good point!

We can predict the future songs...WEIRD!

@Rob - it’s enormous and blocking our entire street. Wires totally severed. Almost landed on our place!

@ 7:03 Yuzo Koshiro playing...Music for the PECO team to work frantically!!!

I am loving this memory lane trip to Feb. Sorry about the tree/power. Glad y'all are ok. Heal up.

Reading the old chat from that day: https://spinitron.com/WPRB/pl/12603124/DoublePlusGood

@Alan, 🤣 One can hope! 🤞 When they give one time, it’s usually a lot later. They are currently saying 9 pm

@Brian D - oh weird! Thanks! I’m sadly gonna run outta phone power soon. I wonder if my phone can make it to the end of this show. At least I can charge it in my car if need be

Hi Christine! 👋 I’m scrolling back through this chat since I had to go do some damage control and I am just seeing your comment now. Yeah, our block is blocked!

@7:07 Colourbox..

@Alan- yeah, this storm was quick! Came through like a 🌪

@Lizbot, Yeah, the weather gets real unpredictable, Real glad y'all are safe!!

@alan, haha, I was going to play a different colourbox song tonight! I was going to play Breakdown

My family has departed the building in search of burritos

@ Lizbot = Future echoes..

🤖 ⚡️

"The Makers of the Dead travel Fast" @07:11

Okay, I now have 5% battery

AAC concert just about to start only a light sprinkle here

@Mark - the scary thing is, THAT enormous tree looked super healthy. There ARE a few trees in my neighbor’s yard to my right that I’ve been concerned about for a long time, but he just died a few months ago and I don’t know what’s even going on with that property now

Future me is enjoying this Ryuichi Sakamoto track on this weird night. Getting dark and hot in here

If it's getting dark you may want to turn on the light (sorry.... my wife and I that's our fave power outage call back joke is to keep suggesting we turn on the light to help us see better)

J Zunz @7:16

@Mark - haha, I opened Facebook and the AAC feed from the show happening now popped up! I said hi to you in that chat, but I’m not gonna stream that show. Camera was on the drummer. I’m gonna listen to past LIZBOT until my phone runs out and I’m forced to go out and sit in my running car to charge this off the car battery

Quarteto Em Cy and Tamba Trio @7:22

"Uz Jsme Doma"@7:25

Oh hell yeah. I need some Uz Jsme Doma right now. Thanks, Past Me

@Brian D - 🙃

Lovin the Uzzzzz!!!

@Brian D - Damn, I gave Hattie our camping lantern to use in her cabin at summer camp last week...now WHERE did she put it since then??? 🤔

Coming up...2 Lizbots!!

🤖 🤖 Two bots. How’s that for menace?

Hi, Me

I don’t think I ever heard that promo before

Lizbot sub 2 will get to announce "up next"

I saw Uz Jsme Donna perform every time they came to the states. They require post-show sausages. I had to explain to them that Philly doesn’t have a 24-hour sausage emporium. Wawa hotdogs or 7-11 and that’s it. Doesn’t compare to Czech sausages! They slept at my friend’s house for one of their Philly shows

@Lizbot eeek that's closer than I had been thinking.

@John T- First There Was Menace was one of the 80+ IDs my fam & I made during the pandemic

@John - I shared it in that shared folder of new IDs

Ha, I see autocorrect changed “Doma” to “Donna”. Different act! That’s what I’ll call my friend Donna B from FMU! 😆

@Rob - You saw the 🌳 photo? Yeah. It’s RIGHT there, just outside out door! Blocking traffic!

What is the title of the folder? I love new promos

Is anybody else getting a crossover with "ordinary man" by ozzy&Elton or is that just an Ambler, PA thing?

Just saw it. My scrolling skills are weak.

@John T - It’s a folder Pax started for ppl to dunno IDs in. I think it’s I no the shared station google docs? I don’t remember!

@Tyler - 🤔

@Lizbot--What song was playing around 6:10 after "Night of the Goblin"? I don't see anything in the playlist after 5:45. Really digging the music collection tonight btw!

I’ll find them. Thanks for the tips.

I think it's just me, 103.3fm shares two stations in some spots around me. Sometimes I'll catch some wild crossover songs between stations, which I guess was happening just now

One listener in the chat mentioned before though, how its hard to tell if what you're hearing is two radio stations at once, or just a regular wprb song

Tyler - probably the latter

Yeah I just realized that's the case. Also just learned that ozzy Osborne and Elton John have a song together, apparently hahaha

Also just scrolled the chat and seeing lots of glenside, abington, Philadelphia folks! Very exciting, I grew up in glenside and currently living in Ambler

@Tyler, former Glenside & Abington resident here 👋

tyler the station to left if prb is classic rock & sometimes interferes w my fm 1033 signal

@Tyler & Christine - my husband’s mom lives in Glenside and his dad lives in Abington!

@Mark and Tyler, that might be WMGK. Several weeks ago when WPRB went down during the Freeform Pathogen, suddenly I was hearing a staticky classic rock song from WMGK.

We’ve talked about here when travel down 95s the prb signal suddenly changes into a religious station it’s quite startlingly

Hi Christine! Hi lizbots bfs mom and dad!

FYI, my phone died 10 minutes ago. I just brought my stuff to my car and plugged it in in the car, so I missed any chat questions since 7:35ish

@Storm Bot, activate emergency backup power 🔋 🚗 📱

Hahahaha the religious Station crossovers are amazing!! Wmgk usually stays put and I only get the interference when up in Lansdale area with a pop station on 103.3fm. I'd be surprised if wmgk decided to play Elton and ozzy from 2020. They've resolved to abandon "classic rock" and just start playing whatever happens to be 30 years old anymore

Which is a major bummer because now wmmr and wmgk are basically the same station and they're both awful

Hi Chloe Stover- I hope you’re still there! I lost power to my house during my show tonight. This is one of my shows from February that I had recorded and the tech director put it on!. After Night of the Goblin was Robert Fripp & The League Of Gentlemen “Inductive Resonance”. My cell died and I had to run out to my car to charge it so I only just saw your question now

@Tyler - Do you remember when the EAS machine in WPRB’s studio used to pick up and play in studio that religious station every now and again?! You could hear it faintly in the background during mic breaks!

@ Lizbot, Is this "Hermit High Priestess" playing, I lost my way int the old playlist...

@Alan - what just ended was Yves Tumor. I was actually gonna play that tonight! Synergy!

PECO is here!

@Lizbot, Aah OK, I thought that song sounded familiar. Thanks for getting back to me, hope you get your power back soon!

haha just saw the lizbot comment in the aac fb livestream / see u next week hope power restored soon!

Anyway, it was worth tuning in, cause that Uz was fantastic! Stay safe Lizbot!!! and Thanks for hangin' iin there!!!

@Chloe - Thanks! Massive tree severed our lines and is blocked the whole street in front of my house. At least the power co is working on it now, I’m so far as they have just put up police “don’t not cross” barriers and that’s about it

Thanks, Alan!

Yay Lizbot. I hiope you get your electricity back soon!!!

@Mark- Nice! I hope you enjoy the AAC show!

Wait?!! Do my ears deceive me?! Is DANA really on now?!

Ahh I wasn't aware of that! Sounds great though, another case where it'd be tough for me to tell weather or on its on purpose given the eclectic nature of things here

@Tyler B, that’s omen of

@Tyler B - that’s one of the advantages of being a weirdo station!

Yes, Dana is on rn

Oh wow--good thing the tree didn't fall on anyone!
