Ok! Chat is open! Go!

Go! GO! GOOOOOOOOOOOO...

Going for gold!

Radio gold!

Howdy Jon!

DJ scratching should be an Olympic sport...freestyle turntablism

Hey hey Joe.

I would enjoy watching some turntables very, very much.

New DJ software version 2.3 also seems to have a fixed width I can't change so the chat is covered over more often than I might prefer. Will figure it out!

Did you play People Who Died last week? I believe that was you and talked about maybe a generation was now not familiar with it. Which was probably true, then The Suicide Squad (released after last weeks show) used it in the opening credits

Hi John I like your show and your station, but please stop being a traitor to liberty by promoting vaccine passports. Thanks and enjoy your day.

Nathan, I think that was on Mike's show and I noticed that when I watched The Suicide Squad over the weekend!

Hey Jon! Hey chat! Very cool how artist and song names now show up on display in iTunes which is primarily the player I stream PRB through.

Brian, I believe that is all our new tech director's doing. Much appreciated.

Mike hit it dead on the nose

Yeah, his timing was uncanny. I forgot to mention it was in the movie when we spoke last!

Aha, thanks new tech director!

I believe it also works with TuneIn for those who access WPRB this way.

Can't wait to try and see if it works in cars that pull such metadata from the ether.

I recommend headphones if you've got 'em.

Is the song repeating a lot or do I need to reset the page?

Joe, the song is performing exactly as intended but I appreciate your concern!

Thanks

I would gladly wear a t-shirt (or denim jacket!) with "Traitor to Liberty" emblazoned upon it if we could get closer to being able to Rock The Eff Out in public by making small sacrifices for the greater good. I appreciate your informative thought processes, Jon!

Jimbeaux, I will inform my tailor.

Or perhaps we should put Stitching Pink on the case instead...

Hello Jon, sounds like one of those Early Andrew WK songs

It's a banger for sure

Ha! Into the comparison. This is just side A! I wonder if Joey Ramone's estate will ever find out about this one.

Amen jimbeaux. Please get vaccinated. Safe concerts for all

Welcome on in Brian and DSM.

The commitment here is wholly admirable

We're almost at the end of this ride.

Yes, send Stitching Pink the signal from the transmitter!📡

Traitor to Liberty, checking in. 🗽 Get your shot, wear a mask, and ROCK OUT! 🎸✨

Christine! Hello!

Hi Jon 👋 Hi, gang

Or Dee Dee ha

My daughter just walked in, tapped me on the shoulder and said "it's not over yet."

You mean this isn’t just the clicking to the top of the roller coaster?? There better be a ride at the end of this climb

I, for one, welcome our new medical overlords.

I'm only disappointed someone didn't change their screen name here sooner! Thank you, chat.

(I do hope P Will was being sarcastic, but one never knows)

@Bud, good one 💯

Damn, I've been outed!

Who is Bud? What Bud?

Waiting for the Vaccine Passport EP

I don't see any Bud here.......

I have all common immunizations amd was recently re-immunized for tetanus so I have jo problem with vaccines. However, I am skeptical of an experimental compound forced down our throats amid a contrived, obviously pre-planned, so-called pandemic. It was Aristotle who said 70% of people are natural born slaves, so no surprise at the support for vaccine barcodes and medical tyranny here.

no problem*

Oh dear...

(It's forced into the arm, by the way, not down the throat. Perhaps your doctor is confused.)

P Will, I'm all for a free expression of ideas in the Listener Chat but if you're going to go full pre-planned pandemic here I politely request you find a different outlet for your thoughts than this one tonight

It's an idiom referring to the propaganda, not the actual vaccine. Unconditional obedience and faith in authority; that's an environment likely to engenser a lot of great music; not

engender*

I'll back off; I made one comment and got 10+ direct responses and wanted to respond to the group, won't continue

We missed celebrating Lammas. 🌾

Yes, wasn't expecting rest of Goon Sax album to sound quite like it does. I definitely need to give it some more listens. Only heard in full once so far.

Attended Talking Heads concert at Philadelphia zoo August 1979.

Hi everyone

@Patrick, neat!!

Patrick, that's amazing.

Jon the Zoo animals were a little antsy until David Byrne serenaded them with an Accapello version of ANIMALS.

Nice to see this being rereleased. There's a great cover of Heartland by The Sound on this as well which I believe wasn't on the original from last year?

Patrick, even if you're pulling my leg I can't not believe you here.

Sorry Jon back then I was Bart Simpson now I've morphed into Abe Simpson

@Patrick that is a good story

@Patrick, as long as you don't start yelling at clouds, you're OK.

Wow Archie Schepp!!He was just at Princeton circa 2017.great performance

Yeah, this is pretty epic! He's one of those people I really need to see live while he's still at it.

Wow! I don't know how I missed that show in 2017.

I have enjoyed an assortment of veggie sausages / burgers, asian eggplant, golden beets and other treats while this played. How about you, chat?

(Your DJ wasn't 100% sure if the words "futher mucker" were OK for air...)

That’s quite the array of treats Jon! I am currently preparing some quesadillas and a big ol’ salad.

This track is great

DSM I certainly did not expect to come out of the "DJ booth" and discover all these items waiting for me!

It was part of Rudreth M.Jazz Series @Richardson Auditorium.

I believe I went to another concert in that series. I know I saw Sonic Liberation Front and H Prizm on different evenings.

Parked near UNION TRANSFER now.Must be a reallyyyy biiig. Shew tonight.huge crowd.

Is tonight Japanese Breakfast?

Must be they are very popular. Their schedule is Cal Ripkenesque.looks like lot of the shows sold out already.

@Jon, you're correct. Japanese Breakfast is playing at 8:00. I just checked the Interwebs.

As did I on my phone (can't slow down computer with other windows open) and this is their fifth of five shows with the prior four sold out!

Thank you, Christine.

Wow!

I shoukd go see what the scalpers are getting.i guess they don't do that anymore with all the phone tickets.

Quintessential Jersey Fresh meal...sweet corn, Caprese sandwiches with three kinds of tomatoes. 🍅🍅🍅🌽🌽🌽

Chat, do you like impressions?

jimbeaux & Jon, your respective dinners sound toothsome. I better gather some food...

Here's my impression of a WNBA general manager frustrated by his star player.

Impressions 👍

"Trade her to Liberty!"

Thank you. Enjoy the rest of the show.

Hmmm, lemme see what’s on WFMU

(JK)

Could not find the "sad cat" emoji fast enough!

🤔

Jon I think your joke was Ed Sullivan worthy.Now bring on Topo.Gigio.

Only Topo I've got handy is Chico.

Been enjoying many a Tomato Sandwich again this week, Jimbeaux. The local corn we had over the weekend was stellar too!

The Trenton Farm Market on Spruce Street had some delicious Rutgers tomatoes last visit.

Is this new Scientists?

It is!

Trenton Farmer's Market rules. Big fan here.

Yeah get a lot of good deals there.More you buy more you save.

Our dinner was baguette & butter, cucumber dill soup, and an arugula salad with tomato, avocado, and cheese

delicious.

DJ Readie played 4 or 5 tracks from Strum & Thrum last Friday and as a result, the cd is wending its way to me

Rob that sounds like a perfect summer meal. Cucumber dill soup sounds scrumptious!

Rob, first off all excellent dinner.

Secondly, a treat to look up where each band was from as I worked through the comp. Good, good stuff.

@rob from maryland that does sound like perfect summer meal. i wish i could order delivery from this PRB chat line!

the strum and thrum comp is a fun document. so glad it got released.

@Kristin, maybe someone could start a business doing that? :-)

@Kristin & @Jon, I was thrilled to see DC's own Crippled Pilgrims on that comp, with my favorite Crippled Pilgrims song (tho maybe not my favorite version of that song)

Crippled Pilgrims I know mostly from records at WPRB that I've looked at more than played. That's on me!

Seamless, where the driver has to deliver each meal in the length of a Seam album.

PRB-er Eatz

Dinner was topped off with mini caneli (sp.?) for desert, and I though not my wife added a couple of spoons of tramontana gelato which has dulce de leche caramel in it among other ingredients. Time for seconds!

@Jon, you probably won't be disappointed when you dip into Crippled Pilgrims

Seamless PRB-eatz

Rob, if I ever get back to the studios that will be among the first LPs I dust off.

I had a cannoli cream-filled donut once that was memorable enough to tell you all about years down the line.

While I have the floor, doing this show is the highlight of my repetitive weeks and I really appreciate you all being on board for it regularly. Thanks!

@Jon, we appreciate you doing this show!!

@Jon, pssst, there is a Crippled Pilgrims bandcamp site, so you don't have to wait for the studios to reopen ;-)

Send me the link tomorrow if you can, Rob!

Man, the Vaxahatchee breaking down my well-constructed guard!

@Jon I just tweeted the link at you

Thank you! Looking like another storm tonight, Philadelphia?

i definitely remember some crippled pilgrims from prb days. didn't know they were from maryland (i'

One of their records is purple? Or green? Or...both?

Bad storm any minute dark and.windy.

i am originally from maryland, too but not identifying as such any more. three hours behind you on west coast and getting hungry every week with the food chat! holy cannoli!!!

don't remember colored vinyl... probably thinking of the ep i have - black vinyl. bethesda label- hadn;t registered that.

This is the "green or purple" record I was thinking of...

https://www.discogs.com/Crippled-Pilgrims-Under-Water/master/377110

(Mostly green.)

Kristin, I might have the same ep that you do

@jon - oh, gotcha. not sure...old brain...memories fade...!

@Kristin, https://www.discogs.com/Crippled-Pilgrims-Head-Down-Hand-Out/release/1732196

Camino Sound is the best sound

Could be a good storm soundtrack, but no rain here yet.

@Jon, yet

Yeah, lots of red and yellow west of us and the Philly suburbs are pretty wet presently I here.

I just looked at the weather service's Severe Thunderstorm Warning for the Philly area. Good luck!!!

Still a watch here. But 85% chance of storms. Show is ending at the right time.

By the way, this is THE LAST MUSIC FROM SAHARAN WHATSAPP track in my queueueue folder.

What a friend those EPs have been the past 12+ months.

Let's hope the Starlight Lounge isn't impacted by the approaching storms

Fingers crossed, but that's Mike's story to tell!

Just started raining here. These storms are really popping up outta nowhere these days!

The sky is pretty apocalyptic right now.

Enjoyed the show Jon, crack a well deserved sparkling water!

90+ degrees -> thunderstorm is a losing combo. Be careful, all.

With overtones of Ragnarok.

Thank you, DSM. This was quite the night in the chat!

Thank you, Jon 🙏 Excellent show, as usual. Chat with everyone later (if the world doesn't end in the next 15 minutes)

Thanks DJ JS💥💥💥

You kept your cool pretty well!

See you on the other side (of the chat program).

I told my wife I was a "T.T.L." and she high-fived me...

Thanks for the excellent show, Jon

Who/ what is the music on the 8pm crossover? The one playing right now in the background, please?

@rob from maryland yep, that's the ep! gotta love the old 12" ep's!
