The Freeform Pathogen

Jul 14, 2021 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM

With Mike Lupica

Freeform radio for creative weirdos and deskbound dreamers. A sonic one-stop for Acid Dub, Beardo Bhangra, Micro-Folk Turntablism, Krautdrone, Cambodian Synthwave, Glam Pop, Art-Damaged Metal, Electro-Stoner Jazz, Proto Soul-Punk, DIY Hip-Hop, Psychedelic EDM, Minimalist Power Violence, Pre-Hipster NYC Weirdcore, and Afro-Hillbilly Futurism. Up and down this goddam dial since 1992.

Sunshine Shitshow

Yo pitcrew! This week's episode of the Freeform Pathogen comes to you LIVE from one of my least favorite places in the world: FLORIDA. AKA the Sunshine State, the tip of the Sun Belt, home to Mickey Mouse and Florida Man, where all the orange juice comes from, and perhaps least spectacularly, America's Wang and/or DeSantisLand. Whatever your preference, I am none too happy about being here but the SHOW. MUST. GO. ON. Please note that since I am broadcasting without all of the usual creature comforts of the Starlite Lounge, things may be KINDA SKETCH on the tech side tonight, so I will be relying heavily upon YOU, dear pitmates, to let me know if things run afoul. Microphone too loud/quiet? Please let me know in the listener chat. Ditto if the music is distorting or if my WiFi craps out and you start hearing that viking metal cover of Brian Eno's "Here Come the Warm Jets". Nevertheless, I am as thrilled as always to serve as your humble host, and promise to distribute tourist-themed t-shirts, trinkets, and baubles to each and every one of you next week.

Don’t be denied…..

And music

Forsyth doing Neil Young for a few secs ...then.... a bass synth dance jam!

Brian D don't forget there was the oh sh*t music for a few secs

Yes. Finland. Finnish Funk

They do a mean Meters ish groove. A backup band for Nicole Willis and others

Still batt;ing tech woes here, gang.

Tech wars.

KPC has been playing some of their other tracks. Good stuff. Soul Strike lp

and typo foes

& fypo toes

Hi Mike! Good evening

Hearing your voice loud and clear.

What Jon says

America's Finger.

Armadillos are cool!!

Watch out for iguanas, Mike

didja pack your lava lamp?

Don't let the boat radios on the ICW drown out the Free Path.

the only state i vowed to never move to

and i lived in alabama at the time

Burning Nair Lines give you so much more to holler about

OK! I think we're good now. Sorry for the rocky start

It’s always a fun time here with DJ MikeLupica! Cheers to you, Sir!

Brian, my cousin (also here in Florida) justtold me a story about how when she was 12, she and her friends would put Nair in waterguns and shoot eachother with it. Florida, amirite?

It all makes sense now.

Also, I worked at Burning Nair Lines in Trenton in the early-mid 90s.

There is / was such a thing named that?

You best protect yourself with 🔫❗️ That was a Warning from cousin!!

Nahh, Burning Airlines... I was just following your lead. Mailorder punk rock / t-shirt / Doc Marten jobbie. Good folks, family biz. They had a storefront in Hamilton Sq., too.

HaHaHa!

Didn't Burning Airlines move...to Florida?

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.

You're there "on business," aren't you. Going to try to drive a truck full of Bauhaus shirts back to New Jersey without the feds nabbing ya.

My years of hawking bootleg Bauhaus t-shirts out the trunk of my '86 LeMans are LONG GONE, JON.

ka-WINK 😉

ya must play Moving to FLA by Gibby & the Surfers

THE SHINS 💙

Haven't heard this song in like 20 years!

OH JIMBEAUX, DON'T YOU WORRY

I got that shot on LOCK

*shit

Typing on a weord ;aptop tonight, get yused to lots of typos

💩

If you liked Smokey and the Bandit you'll love Mikey and the Bauhaus.

I chortled out loud

This will be one of the feathers in the cap of Quibi 2.0.

👻

duh, Selecta Jerry!

YOU LIKE ME? I MEAN, YOU REALLY LIKE ME! (Who is Sally Field.)

Has anyone here listened to this new Goon Sax in full? Much weirder record than I expected.

Well now I need it

THIS RN AF

“MrMalcontent, Come On DOWN!”

Broadcast from a Waffle House duhhh

I can always complain

Mike Lupica is in FLORIDA? What bizarre universe are we in?!

Hey pit crew 👋

Hey, Christine! 📀🔆

Hi MrM 💀

I honestly luv to lie

@MrM, that's a lie, right?

giggles and giggles

this magic potion is quite tasty

Christine, I know... I am none too happy about it, but hanging out with my sister (who lives here) and eating fish tacos 2x a day is OK.

Right on DSM! Druggy metal is the best metal.

This is fire

Woot!

this show needs a livestream

Hi DJ Florida Mike!

You mean aa webcam? Believe me, my sister is a more tasteful interior decorator than I. No tatty string of Xmas lights.

Yo Bo!

I forgot to add Cam for the FamBam

Please avoid the Red Tide Tacos!

Noted!

and erybuddy luvs the Starlight Lounge ✨💛

err, Doomsday Pantry

How many names?? What’s the list??

Doomsday Pantry is SO 2020, MrM...

To be fair, grilled wahoo tacos sound really good right now 🍋🐟 🌮

We go to our fave taco place down there in Deerfield Beach. El Luchador. Luchador / comic book decor thing happening. Love it. Really good tacos, specials, nice people.

Have not been since late Feb 2020 just before....

All meals should be available in taco form. I adopted this particular religious belief after visiting San Diego.

I honestly luv to eat potato tacos

Luchador masks on the walls, great artwork on walls, tables etc.

Foods on a stick, though...

Doomsday Underpantry

@Bo, LOL

If we go to DB for a 10 day stretch we have to figure on every other day is a Luchador lunch day.

S'up Christine!

this track is hot burning insane fire

TURN. IT. UP!

RATTLE THE FLOORBOARDS!

this is noice

Get ready to count, everybody.

1.....2.....3....and....

🍊

Eight

Fifty Five

1.5 Billion

LOL, MrM.

Yeah, that's right...!

OK, Christine... you gots the chorus.

I will vote DJ PAX

Encyclopedia Solomon?

DJ LizBot

Darn it!

OMG I WAS RIGHT!! 💯

Christine 🏆

PAX has the deep knowledge.

Yay Christine

sooooo what are the other 7 crimes of the ninties

i used to love the bad reviews of bands in the little indie mag - what was it radar?

Gross

*retches*

O M G

Now I like this band even less

so whats going on in here?

And the fire ants have guns 🔫

i think we need a temp studio photo sometime in near future

yes especially the frilly curtains

um its probably that you rin florida

just let your mic swing around from the ceiling fan

oh this is good and zany

Hay, EWE!

HEY EWE!!!!!

@Mike, you have a bovine crush tonight

This is absolutely the best song ever.

BATH BOY IS THE BEST SONG

Mr. Magic just wrecked my mind💫

Mr Magic is my new best song. Sorry, Bath Boy

OMG you guys!!

CAn't we all lay down our arms and meet peacefully on the field of Bunnybrains?

Sorry, Mike, I can't. I'm obsessed with my looks

so many subtle nuances to both mr magic and bathboy - hard to decide which is best

We could, possibly. If there are tacos 🌮 🌮 🌮

yes tacos will bring us all toghether

My consumption of beans has gone up recently

i applaud your bean intake!

jimbeaux, I was starting to sound like the just-concluded song

i laud your legume latitude

and on that note I'm going to be toddling off to be shortly

Goodnight, Rob.

See ya Rob!

Night Christine & Mike. Thanks for the excellent songs tonight!

legume lassitude maybe

Catch ya laters, RobFromMaryland

pit crew colin reporting in as rob's sub!

Welcome Colin!

Hey, Colin!

THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN ❤️‍🔥

Got in just in time to be transported back to Cal poly SLO. Thanks for this.

WestSiiidddeee!

Hey Rofflestomp, welcome!

Hiya Mike!

my dear aunt was a nun, and she purchased (at my suggestion) the first J&M Chain cassette for me when it came out!

Hi all

Dear Auntie Nun!

G'night MrM

jimbeaux, cool aunt!

see ya Rob! Yes, Sister Margarita was cool.

g'night jimbeaux and everyone

Night Rob.

My mom had an ex-nun friend stay with us after she left convent. I was 12. Awkward to say the least after living through a catholic school nightmare for years. I have serious issues.

Jimbeaux, Nice! Rofflestomp, so say we all.

So say we all.

And yet, frankincense is pretty nice.

my friend told me about them - he said he had seen them at city gardens and they hot a chord brrrang and then the guy fell over

hit

a chord

OMG Christine, so true! Still burn it to this day.

@Rofflestomp, me too. Even after 12 years of Catholic school.

@Christine It's very deeply in there somewhere for me too.

mike longs for the mosquitoes, spotted lanternflies, and cicada husks of NJ

Guilty as charged, Jimbeaux.

Also, people with thumbs.

Yes Fun!

Bo, they do a bunch of great Stooges covers. Worth checking!

i would not be opposable to thumbs

Excellent show! Music & Mic Mins w/ Mike!

Flippant stooges cover makes me feel as good as I did watching the fireflies at Clark Park start up tonight.

@Jimbeaux LMFAO!!! :-))

Hi Rofflestomp, did the fireflies rock? ;-)

Hey Bo, Yea, they have been totally rocking this week!

@Mike, thanks for the tip!

@Rofflestomp, they have indeed, they showed up very early this year.

FRANCO BATTIATO❣️❣️

There seem to be a bumper crop of fireflies this year (or lightning bugs)

Also did the Schuylkill Trail on my new super coolo ebike. They are busy there too.

@Christine, yep, seems because it was a fairly mild winter.

This is a very touching bit.

@Rofflestomp, NICE!

bruce & miss nelson!

Don't touch what now?

@Bo I will have another battery soon. I will just go get lost and not care.

@Rofflestomp, hook it up to a Tesla battery ;-)

@Bo That is very much on the radar.

@Mike, sweet soul music right here :-)

Yes, GREAT new single from Lady Wray!

@Bo The new one on the map will bring big changes. I hope it can play soul while we wait for it to charge...lol

@Rofflestomp, seems Tesla has a plane ready to take to the air.

They have great designs out there just waiting for good batterys.

I worked with composites for years before Electro-Optics, this is all on the launch pad.

Del 🔥the Funky 🔥Homosapien

@Mike, nice to here Del The Funky after so long :-)

Nice Reggie up beats

Right on! Will consistently show up for Del + Dan the Automator.

Selecta Jerry in the house for this Althea & Donna cover?

Pure blasphemy

LOL

Selecta has been SUMMONED

knew it!

Selecta J might want it in 9 time. I get that.

STRICTLY ROOTS

No pop no style starlight loungers

🔥🔥🎶🔥 now your jamming mike! Big up!

I'll have Florida souvenirs for everyone next Weds when we're back in the Starlite Lounge.

Too late, Christine! You gotta tell me at Eleven Mins! 😭

@Mike, Mickey Mouse ears?

I hope I get a magnet

Welcome back from humid Florida to humid back around here.

Alan Vega 💜 Suicide

A poet. I met him / booked a show for him once. Classic NYC nutcase. We are a poorer planet without him.
