Inside, pretty decent tho. How are you doin??
Captain Ahab (host) 3:03:58 PM

Colin 3:06:51 PM

Jon Solomon 3:07:53 PM
🐐
Captain Ahab (host) 3:07:56 PM
In the end we had to just let that one annoying circuit breaker be while I camped out in a room with secure power
Brian D 3:08:32 PM
woot woot
Brian D 3:09:02 PM
Where the Go-att go at?
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 3:10:49 PM

-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 3:11:58 PM
These nice selections to start the show!!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:17:12 PM
Glad you like em! Let's hope it stays that way
Brian D 3:17:53 PM
Ooo this low end....
Brian D 3:24:48 PM
Guitarmonies nice
Brian D 3:29:18 PM
I'm thinking that since the metal thing is (was?) big in Scandinavia that people are aware but not sure if cult status or more... Graveyard, that's another band i like from that part of world in the riff rock vein.
Brian D 3:30:11 PM
Anytime you can throw them in the list would be great
Captain Ahab (host) 3:31:19 PM
Yeah I guess I'm just curious about the relative popularity of it, like does your average joe tune in to metal there?! If so AWESOME
Jon Solomon 3:33:23 PM
Granted it was 600 years ago when I went to Sweden but I think it was there that I saw a shocking number of Helloween shirts.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:34:23 PM
Jon Solomon (1), where are you hiding the regular Jon Solomon?
Jon Solomon 3:34:28 PM
Uh...
Jon Solomon 3:34:36 PM
There we go!
Captain Ahab (host) 3:34:48 PM
Imposter!
jimbeaux 3:35:45 PM
it's the UNDEAD Solomon. He just said he's at least 600 yrs old!
Colin 3:36:06 PM
I just checked the Sweden top 40 for this week and most of which are artist I am unfamiliar with, most of which don't look like desert cruising bands, lots of happy colors and blond hair on the album covers. but I now want to go a check out all these performers I've never heard.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:36:08 PM
Ah you were hanging out with Mr. M earlier then eh?
jimbeaux 3:37:10 PM
two's a party, three's a crowd. no more UNDEAD allowed in the chat.
Captain Ahab (host) 3:37:16 PM
@Colin thank you for the research!! And lol at the typecasting of album art
Colin 3:37:47 PM
maybe jon (1) is the pandemic imposture and the 600 year old JS has returned to take his place in reality.
Colin 3:38:47 PM
or we've had dual JS since the beginning and the chat has reveled this to us now.
Jon Solomon 3:39:01 PM
Hey, everybody! What did I miss?
jimbeaux 3:39:32 PM
Will the really, really REAL Jon Solomon please stand up?
Captain Ahab (host) 3:41:41 PM
You didn't miss a thing! *puts pitchfork away*
jimbeaux 3:42:20 PM
flesh out this human form in triplicate, puleeeeze. and we'll need to see you in a mirror, too, or I'm watchin' my neck.
Brian D 3:44:30 PM
More guitarmonies!
Jason DiVirgilio 3:52:08 PM
JS1 may be a Manchurian Candidate here to spy on our subversive musical subculture.
Brian D 3:57:46 PM
Desert Jangle i like it
Captain Ahab (host) 4:01:55 PM
Leaning in to the desert jangle vibe even further!
Jon Solomon 4:11:28 PM
Where do Satlan hail from?
Captain Ahab (host) 4:11:43 PM
London!
Captain Ahab (host) 4:12:14 PM
My fave track this week methinks
Jon Solomon 4:14:05 PM
I'm into it, even if they're not from Satland.
Jon Solomon 4:14:24 PM
HAIL SATLAN.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:14:52 PM
that's exactly what a JS imposter would say
Jason DiVirgilio 4:17:00 PM
Groovy
Jon Solomon 4:17:05 PM
Uh oh, you just lost the connection!
Captain Ahab (host) 4:17:15 PM
oh no
aliagrace 4:17:28 PM
oh no!
Captain Ahab (host) 4:17:30 PM
Not an issue on my end it would seem, all looks normal here
Captain Ahab (host) 4:17:33 PM
Grr
Jon Solomon 4:17:49 PM
You're back.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:17:56 PM
PHEW
Jon Solomon 4:18:32 PM
Have texted those who need to know.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:18:48 PM
ok ok fine I believe youre the REAL JS now
Jon Solomon 4:18:58 PM
This is what it took??
Colin 4:19:20 PM
Princeton summer session students chewing on the wires again?
Colin 4:21:35 PM
yes! we've now closed the book on the JS mystery. A day of success!
Jon Solomon 4:23:02 PM
Those car donations really help! A nice surprise every time they happen.
Brian D 4:23:37 PM
Ooh this is great!
Jon Solomon 4:24:24 PM
Rainbow Bridge is one of my top three favorite ways to drive into Ontario.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:24:59 PM
My sister inherited my old car and it's on its way out, will ask her to donate there if goes that path, it even has my old CPT AHAB license plate :')
Jon Solomon 4:25:21 PM
Hope you have a photo of that vanity plate!
Captain Ahab (host) 4:25:26 PM
I do!
Jon Solomon 4:26:28 PM
Excellent. My friend Tim has perhaps my favorite vanity plate of all time. It simply reads: I HAV CAR.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:27:47 PM
I love it! Vanity plates are unfortunately not really a thing in the UK/stupid expensive otherwise I would def resurrect the name (once I get a car that is)
Jon Solomon 4:28:31 PM
While it was not a vanity plate I saw a car with PAX in their plate today and am sorry I didn't get a photo to send to WPRB's own Pax.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:30:34 PM
awww
jimbeaux 4:30:48 PM
some very (delicious) un-metal guitar!
Jason DiVirgilio 4:40:08 PM
I always enjoy a groove in 7/4.
Brian D 4:44:36 PM
Yeah!
Brian D 4:45:24 PM
Tapping out 3.5 counts on desk. And best of 3 best of 4 ... 2s and 5s. It goes on ...
Jon Solomon 4:48:57 PM
Dag, Hodag!
Brian D 4:56:20 PM
Great show Ahab!
Brian D 4:56:52 PM
Great band name!
Jason DiVirgilio 4:57:02 PM
Great show Captain - Hodag, Slow Phase, Planet of the 8's all great stuff.
Colin 4:57:28 PM
See ya! all the happy colors and blond hair.
Captain Ahab (host) 4:58:42 PM
Thanks team! See you next time
