The musical equivalent of reading Japanese cyberpunk-era fanzines Ludovico-technique-style when trapped inside a vintage tv while the catgirl reincarnation of Mozart berates you for not listening to the latest power-noise release and playing too much heavy psych

Rob from Maryland 8:13:03 PM

AndrewT 8:13:28 PM
Raining pretty steady out here around Trenton, thunder every now and again

DSM 8:14:38 PM
Hey Rob, don't wash away
DSM 8:14:47 PM

Andy Wing 8:14:51 PM
That was one crazy show last week. I was on the way back from Buffalo with my travel buddy and we caught the last hour or so once in range. That finale medley blew him away.
Rob from Maryland 8:14:58 PM
And hi Matthew and jimbeaux and bats and all the other non-Andrews
AndrewB 8:15:07 PM

Andy Wing 8:17:48 PM
Another good HR Geiger cover?
AndrewB 8:18:02 PM
That's a band I would go see just for the name.
Rob from Maryland 8:19:07 PM
Can we hear some Dog Faced Hermans?
rosasolis (host) 8:20:33 PM

AndrewB 8:24:25 PM
So with Halloween in mind would we be Night Of The Living Andrews?
AndrewT 8:25:20 PM
I'll have been up for 24 hours on Halloween so I really would be a zombie hahah
Andy Wing 8:25:39 PM
This track is night of the living mixes.
Andy Wing 8:26:02 PM
Mantler was popular on Diaspar in the 180's.
Andy Wing 8:26:12 PM
1980's
AndrewB 8:26:33 PM
BTW, last Friday I went to a farm in Maryland doing a haunted hike and a haunted town. Some of those exhibits could have used some of your 10pm tracks.
AndrewB 8:28:55 PM
I had some surgery on my face today so this bandage could give me some zombie vibe.
AndrewB 8:29:42 PM
Oh man @Andy, Diaspar was the shit!
Andy Wing 8:30:42 PM
Still miss that show, but I'm finding much of the same vibe here and on WFMU, Caprice, etc.
AndrewB 8:30:44 PM
I was pissed as F when WXPN ended it.
rosasolis (host) 8:30:55 PM
sorry for the late replies / playlist updates all im having trouble getting on spinitron!
AndrewB 8:31:47 PM
Strong Gentle Giant vibe here.
Andy Wing 8:31:47 PM
Just got a certificate error. Had to close/reopen spinitron.
Rob from Maryland 8:33:58 PM
Thx for the DFH track, rosasolis
Rob from Maryland 8:35:07 PM
@AndrewB, what part of Maryland was the haunted house & town in?
Rob from Maryland 8:35:46 PM
@AndrewB, I hope the surgery wasn't too bad
AndrewT 8:37:06 PM
Ooh yeah spinitron seems to be having cert issues sitewide
AndrewB 8:46:33 PM

AndrewB 8:48:07 PM
@Rob just a little basal cell cancer. Had it before. Easily dealt with.
AndrewB 8:49:21 PM
My derma said "Wear a hat, use sunscreen and visit your derma every 6 months." I told her she sounds like a dentist.
Rob from Maryland 8:50:41 PM
Stream is out for the last 10-15 seconds
AndrewT 8:50:53 PM
Agh now the whole radio stream isn't loading
Rob from Maryland 8:50:56 PM
@AndrewB, yay!
AndrewT 8:51:06 PM
Never mind!
Rob from Maryland 8:51:16 PM
It's back
Andy Wing 8:51:30 PM
OK, so this time it's not my near-brick Grace Digital radio.
Rob from Maryland 8:51:58 PM
I'm on a Mac listening to the station on the Music app
AndrewT 8:53:09 PM
I wish I could get FM in my place lol
AndrewB 8:56:48 PM
Did that bass player take lessons from Chris Squire?
Andy Wing 8:57:55 PM
@Andrew Tos, how far away are you?
AndrewT 8:59:24 PM
@Andy not far at all, but I'm in a basement so it's hard for me to even get a station like PST down here lol
jimbeaux 9:02:02 PM
Oh hello again...spinitron being weird and wprb website has issues. Still going strong on FM!
jimbeaux 9:06:35 PM
Errr...Jimdrew reporting for duty!
Andy Wing 9:06:49 PM
Thankful for my yagi antenna.
Rob from Maryland 9:07:55 PM
After I saw jimbeaux's 9:02 comment, I tweeted at wprb, Jon Solomon, and Mike Lupica, and they are aware of and working on it
jimbeaux 9:08:48 PM
Rob to the rescue!📡
Rob from Maryland 9:11:34 PM
The wprb.com front page is now back to normal
AndrewT 9:12:21 PM

rosasolis (host) 9:12:26 PM
barellyyy
rosasolis (host) 9:12:34 PM
now to update the playlistss
DSM 9:14:40 PM
Now I'm curious how everyone was still able to chat during the down?
AndrewT 9:17:14 PM
The chat is probably running on a different backend than the playlist
AndrewB 9:17:14 PM
LOOOOUUUUU!
AndrewB 9:17:32 PM
Saw the VU doc finally. Pretty great.
rosasolis (host) 9:18:33 PM
ooh how was it? i have it queued up on my computer and excited to watch it!
Rob from Maryland 9:19:03 PM
what AndrewT said
Jon Solomon 9:20:08 PM
Phew. Everything should be working as intended again.
rosasolis (host) 9:21:11 PM
hi yes thanks jon!! that was weird
AndrewB 9:21:17 PM
It's Todd Haynes so I had high hopes. It focused on how the band was formed and the players. But after they finally broke up there wasn't really any follow up as to Lou's later albums. But from a strictly VU perspective, really good.
Guelo 9:23:17 PM
Hello, been enjoying the show. thunder and raindrops always a good back dorp
Jon Solomon 9:23:48 PM
Issue was not on WPRB’s end, since resolved.
rosasolis (host) 9:25:04 PM
@andrew ooh im excited.. hopefully it has rare footage from their early shows!
Rob from Maryland 9:25:21 PM
Thanks, Jon!!!
rosasolis (host) 9:25:26 PM
and thanks for tuning in guelo! hopefully the storm gives the music some great ambiance
rosasolis (host) 9:25:37 PM
@jon yeah the cert issue was annoying, thanks again!
Andy Wing 9:38:03 PM
Very nice track!
Andy Wing 9:39:03 PM
Part time singer with Popol Vuh.
rosasolis (host) 9:39:42 PM
agreed! good new album and great use of 12 string guitar
rosasolis (host) 9:39:49 PM
omg yes i love djong yun, amazing vocalist
Andy Wing 9:51:44 PM
I think Dr. Cosmo used this as a background to one of his monologues.
jimbeaux 9:52:53 PM
my brain hath melt, Pelt.
rosasolis (host) 9:53:24 PM
dr cosmo omg.. now im looking at the wprb archives hahah
rosasolis (host) 9:54:04 PM
the chord organ is amazing here...
Matthew Snopenhauer 9:54:59 PM
That drumming bunny on the Klimperei album reminds me of horror film CAVEAT
rosasolis (host) 9:55:51 PM
omg youre so right!! its as creepy 😭 seems like a good mubi tho
jimbeaux 9:56:09 PM
forgot that Jack Rose was in Pelt...
rosasolis (host) 9:58:59 PM
yess i think at this point this pelt album was like an extended solo-album!
AndrewB 10:02:07 PM
Whoa, did 10pm start 15min early tonight?
rosasolis (host) 10:03:14 PM
heh just needed some nice ayahuasca-inducing drones in my ears
AndrewB 10:04:02 PM
A big part of the VU doc was about how John and Lou incorporated drone into their sound.
Matthew Snopenhauer 10:05:18 PM
Pumpkin muscles
jimbeaux 10:06:50 PM
oh yeah, Cale worked with Lamonte Young and other minimalist giants pre-VU
jimbeaux 10:07:55 PM

Matthew Snopenhauer 10:14:24 PM
There are def some vampire rodents across the river in NYC
rosasolis (host) 10:15:42 PM
i remember passing by edgewater across the hudson in nj and they would call their sports teams the "river rats"
rosasolis (host) 10:15:44 PM
awful name
Matthew Snopenhauer 10:18:22 PM
LOL, trashy people in the northern CA Russian River area were/are called river rats or river trash
Matthew Snopenhauer 10:19:11 PM
"rodentia" is a great word tho
Matthew Snopenhauer 10:19:39 PM
I wanna name a daughter Rodentia
rosasolis (host) 10:20:58 PM
rodentia is a cool insult, not for a daughter tho 😭
Andy Wing 10:24:11 PM

Matthew Snopenhauer 10:26:11 PM
