Here we is.

We's ere!

Wow! Hey! D!J! Mike! Lupica!

Love the girl in the picture with advanced blood letting leachcraft skills.

(I actually like turkey.)

Beets are good!

Hi Mike! I just ordered the new Billy No mates disc.

Happy Tofurkey Day! Let Turkey LIVE!

That's a sobering fact. Get boosted! 💉

Beets RULE.

@-ᎷяM - Run turkey run, see turkey run.

My late Da was a turkey snuffer.

Mah peeps! Welcome back!

Ambrose, same!

Turkeys sound dum. Kill them all! Gobble Gobble

Glad to be here. Thanks Mike.

I do love beets, but yeah, the morning after eating them always makes me worry that a lifetime of (mild) self-abuse has suddenly caught up with me.

Consulting a doctor the next day must be common.

@Mike, means your guts are in fine worki3 order, I'm partial to pickled beets, eat straight out o the jar, yum.

Yeah!

*working

Rofflestomp, I'll bet there's a lot of hasty praying to random deities as well.

Always curious how beets create that incredible magenta color from DIRT. Fuckin' magic.

And beets make for nice fancy rock sugar, which is great in tea.

@ Mike - That tracks!

@Christine, WOWZA!

There’s a distillery in my town that makes beer vodka. That’s a bridge too far for me.

Enjoying these opening tracks! Thanks, DJ MikeLupica!

They were spraying a beet sugar byproduct on roads in lieu of salt and it smelled delish.

BEET vodka

@Bo, I got a bag as a gift. Really different, and of course the flavor is fantastic.

I am sorry you have to hear it from me but DEVO launched a vodka today.

Why the heck it isn't called DEVOdka is beyond me.

https://trustmevodka.com/devo/

😒

@Christine, gonna look into that.

Made from SPUDS, I hope?

Got a rot gut feeling

@ Jon - @$350.00 No thanks... Crazytown.

@Jon, they missed a perfect naming opportunity there.

LOL Mary

Yeah, a lot of missed opportunities here.

$350?!?!

@Jon, good grief!!!

No vodka is that bloody good.

My Princetonite family are mushroom foragers, therefore I avoid the stuffing

Evening all! Pickled beets are the best.

@Ambrose Hughes Better mak me poop $100 dollar bills!

Actually it would

Feel It Records is on quite a roll.

Are we not men? We are vodka??

A Year of Mutations is an apt title. 💯

Pseu! Yeah, gotta watch out for that. Odds are, they aren't wild truffles, and we both someone with an ER bill to back it up.

We both KNOW someone, that should say.

So you get TWO bottles for $350, much better deal, ahem.🙈

@Bo, oh that's much better

@Ambrose Hughes - Ahem... no

@Christine, limited quantity so better move fast!🚀

Click on BUY A BOTTLE for non special limited edition two bottle set. $11.99 or $17.99 or $29.99

@Bo, haha, nope.

Drink up, BUTTERCUP 🍸🧉

K RECORDS❣️

@-ᎷяM - I like the cheaper turpentine variations from Russia.

Hey Malcolm, I can't find where they're selling a non-special edition set for the Devo

Big Beat revival?

Da! Mother Russia 🇷🇺

Malcolm??

A mini mammoth with a bionic trunk?! Wow

Top of page: BUY A BOTTLE

And good evening everyone

Top of page from JonSolomon link. See below.

Love Stoltz's "Inside My Head"

Greetings and Salutations to One and All!!! Exclamation! Points!

Mr. Malcolm 😄😄😄

Malcolm SMDH

Haha

Andy, this whole album is probably among my most shamelessly overplayed.

It may say buy a bottle and have all the other artists but the diva one is only in a set

Mr.M💀 those are half bottles but, whatever.

EXPOSURE! As Terri Roach would scream -ᎷяM.

MrMalcontent 💀, you stirring up trouble again?

Holding out for the limited edition Screamers plum liqueur..

I’m sober tho yo #DIVA

I don’t stir up trouble 😈

Malcontent In the Middle?

Plum is a another carpenters dream.

@Andy, 😂

Stoltz is a Detroit guy. I'll bet my friends out there know him.

Goes for surveyors too.

MrMalcontent in the Middle of Stirring Up Trouble

I saw him play the Kyber Pass in the mid noughties, opened for Detroit Cobras, decent performance as I recall.

@ Mike, I lived in SF once upon a time and around 2003 Kelley Stoltz was still keeping shop at a local record shop. It was a treat to go in and get recommendations off him.

@DSM, have you heard of Maggot Brain magazine?

@Ambrose, I have not! Sound promising tho from the title

Understood Mike. Not just a ride on the Metro in Europe.

Yay! 45s! 🧿🎶🎵💙

It's one of Jack White's/Third man Records deal's, I just bought a copy, Kelley Stoltz is one of the writers in it.

Ambrose, the issue of Maggon Brain with the Slits on the cover is sitting on my coffee table right now!

Err, the Raincoats, I meant.

Spinning disks in the 60's"

@Mike, no way?!

The Slits! LOL Typical!

@Mike, Bikini Kill on mine, Issue No.06.

Drowning in this Pond!

Lifesavers available, but only in peppermint.

I really like this BLK JKS track. It's draws you in.

@Rofflestomp, they're called Polo Mints where I come from.

@ C - Eastern sounding keys and beats. I like it.

Christine, yeah, this whole album is kinda great in that way. Looking forward to hitting it pretty hard in the coming weeks!

Nice groove!

@Ambrose Hughes - Whateverworks!

THIS WORKS!

Richard Dawson is incredible!

This does indeed work. Swim Ambrose Hughes, swim!

Easily the most F'd up "metal" record of the decade. Finnish heavy metal lords Circle team up with Fairy Folk vocalist Richard Dawson. Only questions, no answers. Rest of the record seems promising, too.

@Mike, strange pairing indeed.

"Fairy Folk vocalist" OMG now I losing it. LMAO

And he's doing some Shows with Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs over the pond apparently!

YES!

Peth-IE! Comm-IE! Peth-IE! Comm-IE! Peth-IE! Comm-IE!

Was Kaltes Eis! Our favorite WPRB band!

Dan Buskirk played Das Kaltes Eis on his show, too. I love to hear it!

It's the hit that keeps on giving!

Eisbar, need to check my sppelling at the door.

WKRP 💖

Kinda like being frozen in time about this.

@Rob, nailed it.

@Mike, love this guy!

Jeffrey Lewis or Less Nessman? Because I love them both.

Jeffrey Lewis.

Yeah!

O! ❌❣️

"I Don't Wanna Go Out" put the vocals in front seat.

The XX???

White Girl is fine too.

I’m Loni Anderson

@MrM.💀 haven't heard XX in a while.

Pethie! 👏👏👏 Commie! 👏👏👏

Ambrose Hughes, I heart the XX so much

@MrM.💀Yes and The Ex and Ex hex.

For tomorrow, I recommend booze. But nothing ridiculous like DEVOdka.

Ambrose Hughes, the real X and JAIME XX

@Christine - LOL

@MrM.💀 all forms of X, XTC too.

Oh, XTC❣️

What? Santa’s name is Kevin!?!

Who is Kevin and why does he have such a low opinion of jazz?

X-Ray Spex!

Yexxxxxx!!

Kevin Claus

this JAM

I dunno who Kevin is but Dan Buskirk is gonna be PISSED.

And Jerry Gordon

The Pink Panther theme was insanely good, Just a gem, no mater how you cut it. Period!

And DJ KAT. MEOW.

This Panther's gettin' his swerve on!

My god, this is dreadful.

Haha

But entertaining.

BUT LET THE RECORD SHOW, IF YOU MAIL A RECORD TO WPRB AND ASK NICELY FOR ME TO PLAY IT ON THE RADIO I WILL DO THAT.

Very Horn-y 🎷🎺🎷

@Mike - Don't sent vinyl these days. lol Record shop are still cool though, but for what ever reason, I have no idea.

Happiness is being able to play Hawkwind without fear of having to answer the WPRB studio phone and talk to a Hawkwind fan.

palate cleanser

Kate Bush? That worked pretty well last week when we needed to clear the air from that GnR 45.

@Mike, note taken.

We’ve had the studio phones forwarded to your starlight lounge. Pick up the phone!

Dear god, no.

@Mike, are you aware of Lemmy's Solo Record?

I am not! When is it from?

Between Hawkwind and Motorhead

Jesus! Bush and GNR is like sorbet a palette cleaner.

Captain Ahab played a track earlier today and she wasn't aware of it either!

I'm in to Nudity!

Yea, at birth it's like you had a choice.

Aren't we all?

The use of sleigh bells is 🔥

But for real, so is Julian Cope.

Eisbar wear short shorts?

Nah, Eisbar gives no F's

Definitely google image search the cover of this South Bay Surfers single. The cover is... something.

Something to oogle and google

Where’s JonSolomon with the link??

Well, that not at all what I was expecting.

Mr. Snowman with yellow legs or whatever was just a result of local dogs showing who is boss.

Gonna start batting cleanup with last week's leftover 45s after this song.

here for the 45s 🧿🎵🎶💙

45's are in a time line? Or just random?

This has been a for realz TopNotch bunch o tunes!

Good on ya, DJ MikeLupica!

VERY random. As you will hear shortly.

That works

OMG!

THIS. RN. AF.

Glad y'all are diggin' on the Bobbie Gentry. I'm not one to say "hold my beer", especially in reference to whatever it is that I'm gonna play next... but seriously... hold my beer.

With both hands? Sure.

Dang.

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

Hahaha! Nice, Ambrose.

I wanna see the entire collection of 45s at the starlight lounge

What a line-up!

@-ᎷяM - Just don't know if Mike is a two fisted drinker. Give a wilggle room please.

My name is Michael Lupica and I suffer from Chronic Degenerative Wham! Syndrome.

And the vhs tapes 📼

@Mike, you still want me to hold your beer?

And yes, George Michael solo counts. Does Andrew Ridgley have any solo records? Because those might count, too.

his tequila chaser

@Mike Lupica (host) - It's okay. you can open up to the group as much as you feel comfortable. We don't judge here.

Don't think Mr Ridgely had any solo records.

this is awesome idgaf

Who produced that?

It's chronic, all right.

Never Gonna Wham You up?

LOL Mike... I have heard shit in my head that I just do not understand. Got it. Cool take on what we know.

srsly, GEORGE MICHAEL ❤️‍🔥

What about Swedish Phish???

I just ate fish for dinner, so, no more Fish!

will you be participating in whameggedon then?

Neil from the Young Ones TV Show was a Hawkwind fan.

I😍R&LT

Everyone in the band crashes on one. James Brown rolls over in his grave. lol

"Don't flush the toilet, it's only Neil!"

Them pipes need a flushin'.

OK, longform radio comin' up next. My absolute favorite piece of Thanksgiving audio. Transformative. Highly recommend you turn out all the lights, lay down on the floor, and listen through headphones if possible. Comin' up right after this Calexico song.

I am so happy in first position guitar is the lead in. Start at the go line.

"Vyvyan killed Neil again!"

Joe Frank! lol

I remember this from last year ...cant believe it's been a year already😲

I actually listened to the entire "A Work In Progress" series when WXPN broadcast it in the early 90's.

It is my seasonal tradition to air this. For lack of a better comparison, it is my "Alice's Restaurant"

Andy, nice.

And what a quote: "You are filled with a bilious sense of over-the-horizon nausea"

this is peak radio

Joe Frank is only a few steps behind from blown out of a cannon fron Johnny Depp.

He always had great music backgrounds to his monologues.

ONE BATHROOM?!?

Dr. Cosmo MUST have been a Joe Frank fan.

I wish I would've asked him.

@Mike Lupica (host) Sure, but "Alice's Restaurant"? No. I don't think so at all.

https://www.discogs.com/release/2199354-David-Rosenboom-How-Much-Better-If-Plymouth-Rock-Had-Landed-On-The-Pilgrims

Is this the same gentleman who spoke the monologue about the stranger who came into town and led everyone wish a strange ritual?

Just me. Works for who?

A strange ritual story would be right up Frank's alley.

No first person account in Vietnam can ever come from Arlo Guthrie. Only his fear.

Actually Arlo Guthrie lives around here... lol

I just looked it up and it isn't the same gentleman, but it definitely reminded me of it

I was thinking of "Flibberty Jib" by Ken Nordine

whats the deal on this track--its super interesting

Thela Hun Ginjeet by Kings Crimson...

It's part of Joe Frank's "In the Dark" radio series. Amazing stuff.

vaguely listening while i work, i feel like im listenintg to Apocalypse Now

Strange but true..

"Work In Progress" episode list here: https://www.joefrank.com/shows/work-in-progress/

I remember hearing this last November; like Bo said, it doesn't seem like a year already.

Can you rewind that? The last half of my brain leaked out...

Thanks to you, DJ Mike Lupica!

DJ MikeLupica, many thanks for another Super Awesome installment of your always Grand Show! Happy Tofurkey Day to you and the Lupica Household! Kind regards to you!
