Welcome on in to tonight's Listener Chat!

Let us have some fun tonight.

Good evening Jon from It always Hails in Philadelphia.Hope not headed your way.

Looks like we missed this round. Sunny skies again. Saw some photos from the Philly suburbs that were gnarly.

Hope you're keeping dry / safe.

Well, there's your project while you listen to tonight's show.

Pretty sure it’s Recyclingtron 5000. Beep boop.

Beep boop every one.

A pleasant evening to you, Mr. M!

Hi, DJ JonSolomon!

MUDHONEY 💟

Awww, BIZ MARKIE Rest In Peace

I know Mike has a bunch of Biz in store tonight. Looking forward!

Don’t hit the trash can on accident when posting messages, kids

Happens to the best of us.

I used to love seeing the Biz's Beat of the Day segment on Yo Gabba Gabba. 💔 Rest in Peace, Biz.

Hello, Jon, MrM 💀, Patrick et al

Yeah, he was the best. Really talented on the turntables and with his voice beyond rhymes.

My internet dropped out, did you ask who Hawaiian shirt thought you were or??? When this happens again it’s okay to ask for the person’s Instagram or Twitter info. I usually just decline. #NoFlashPhotography! 🤪😎

CAN! The bottom end on that Biz... whew. Great coming through the car speakers when I was driving . RIP

Have never heard this Can jam. Very nice to water the houseplants to. Good evening everyone 👋

They randomly came up to me and said "can I get a picture? You're that guy" and after they took it they were gone, only to be seen moments later on the jumbotron dancing.

It was very funny and super confusing. I wondered if he was doing that to everyone in the stadium.

This is off the new live CAN 3xLP deal. Sounds better on the radio than it did at home if that makes sense...

Hello, Foxy Christine! 🦊

...on second thought, maybe I do need to buy this live Can. (I saw it in the store and thought "how good can it be ?"). lord almighty, but, Jaki Liebezeit is deft !

Hahaha! Oh, Hawaiian Shirt!

... as deft as Biz was in the previous cut.

Shane, I mostly really enjoyed it (safe half of side F) but I didn't feel it was essential to own.

On the vinyl I believe this piece spans sides C *and* D!

okie doke, Jon. your comment that "it sounds better on radio" is quite telling.

The whole thing is on Bandcamp so try before you buy!

https://canofficial.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-stuttgart-1975

10-4.

👍

Having to flip the record in the middle of this would kinda suck

Yeah, no real natural break. They put in an elegant fade if memory serves. The other pieces are each side-spanners.

You made it to the other side!

It was a nice selection!

never really thought about how much Mac and Bitter Bitter Weeks are kinda similar

i could have phrased that better

Hadn't thought about that but this new song is right there.

yeah

I wonder if I will feel comfortable enough with an indoor rock show to go see Mac at Johnny Brenda's in September.

Next September, yes

That is my hunch. Only shows on my docket are outdoors in open spaces.

That’s best.

this song rn af!

Hayden of 1-4-All-4-1?

Such a fun set of tunes. Those last two.... hot damn that was great.

cerberus

Doesn't agree

Ahahahahahaha

As promised - https://weareandemic.bandcamp.com/album/we-are-andemic

Thanks, Joe! Appreciate you tuning in. Glad to have you all in the chat tonight.

Thanks for exposing me to Can. Had a great ride home.

Oh wow. Sure thing, Chromex! I think you will enjoy their studio recordings very much.

These field recordings (which run into one another) are also a "name your price" download. Especially good in headphones with eyes shut!

Good evening Jon and chat!

Brian! I was thinking about you because I still have your station bookmarked but Friday afternoons have been unexpectedly busy.

I was wondering why I never saw any of the Sahel Sounds releases in a store or at Forced Exposure. Then I looked at the site. Thanks for the link and for playing this, Jon.

Really dig that new Melenas cover. Heard for first time yesterday. I'd be curious to hear the original.

Oh, BrianKijewski! I caught a recent show with your Brother as special guest! That was fun times! Gotta get that station on Spinitron and have the chat feature! Cheers!

Thanks! I always appreciate a new listener.

Sahel Sounds is distributed by Secretly Group for physical releases.

So their hard copy stuff should be in stores.

As a fan of WPRP Friday programming I’m probably just lying to BrianKijewski. 😜

Brian, the original rules. A surprising number of bands have covered it. Prisonshake, Ooga Boogas, others I can't name right now...

I saw Sahel Sounds has a cassette!? I’d like a cd or vinyl! I’ll keep looking!

This one might be tape only.

Let’s protest! Because I’m revolting!

Happy to hear you caught episode with my brother, it's been fun having the occasional guest on this year to program a couple sets

this PLAYLIST❣️

Good to hear the KV Violators rockin’ again. I’ll take freaktrain pt. 2 anytime

Yeah, this cover is stellar. Why they put out a shorter "radio edit" is anyone's guess. Let it ride!

Curious to hear the rest of the comp

Yeah, the lineup has me curious. Could be some gems and also some disasters.

Whoa, cool these two together!

01. Sunday Morning – Michael Stipe (3:50) 02. I’m Waiting For The Man – Matt Berninger (3:44) 03. Femme Fatale – Sharon Van Etten (w/ Angel Olsen on backing vocals) (4:43) 04. Venus In Furs – Andrew Bird & Lucius (6:55) 05. Run Run Run – Kurt Vile & The Violators (6:59) 06. All Tomorrow’s Parties – St. Vincent & Thomas Bartlett (4:52) 07. Heroin – Thurston Moore feat. Bobby Gillespie (7:24) 08. There She Goes Again – King Princess (3:29) 09. I’ll Be Your Mirror – Courtney Barnett (2:27)

10. The Black Angel’s Death Song – Fontaines D.C. (3:12) 11. European Son – Iggy Pop & Matt Sweeney (7:45)

9. Quartley Barfnett 👎🚫⚠️

Funny AND Rude!!

Thanks for the listing! Was just about to look it up!

Iggy & sweeney could be good

I’m thinking that radio edit will go straight to XPN

🤐

The country singer?

I’m leaving that one in the trash can

That previous song seemed to use the same chords as "Once Upon a Time" by Smashing Pumpkins (from the Adore album).

Hey-yo mister Solomon! This session is divine.

DJ JonSolomon, many thanks for the very fine show! Big cheers and kind regards to you, Sir!

DATBLYGU ❤️‍🔥

Yeah, their songs only grow on me. I was not really familiar with them until this reissue!

Thx, Jon 🙏

Great to hang out with all of you here tonight and I look forward to keeping it going on Mike's watch.

I enjoyed the part of the show I caught tonight. Thanks, Jon!

All the stars are out tonight! You are each equally welcome!

thanks for another great show

"Soot and Stars" by Smashing Pumpkins

I'll have to compare and contrast CRiB!

THE BREEDERS 💖

Thanks Jon, always a great program to make, eat, and digest dinner too.

Thanks for the quality programming

WPRB is the one thing constant, no matter the amplification medium/device
