Happy New Year, Pethie!

Aye!!

Hello! and Happy New Year to you Rob!

HOla Fossil!

hAppy New Year, Pethie! I want that dress!!!

Happy New Year’s Eve darling Pethie from Pierre and I

It is a fabulous gown, Readie! You'd wear it well!

Happy New Year to everyone!!!

Pethieeeee! Hello!!

happy new year, pethie!

Aw, shucks, Peth! And I would be groovin' in it to this Disco extravaganza!

Alan and esoterica! and Maryellen and Fossil Andrew -- Happy New Year to you too!

Happy

happy new year to rob and everyone!

esoterica!, a ✨✨✨ glam new year to you

Happy New Year.As a guy, I would take that dress on a wilderness survival course.

Happy New Year, Roffle...!

Happy new year!

BRUUUUUUUUNOOOOOO

@Roffle: That dress material looks familiar....Outer space material??..

Hi Pethie, Happy New Year!

Happy New Year's Eve, Peth. (TMI alert: We are dancing with that disco beat in the kitchen and right out into the Street!)

Pethical!

@Alan Space blanket from Roswell is my guess.

@ Roffle: ...and the occupant doesn't look too bad either...

@Alan LOL, she looks glat to be here. Studio 54! What a place to make a landing back in the day!

I was born too late. But I sure did love disco as a kiddo.

@ Roffle: If that's what an alien looks like, Bring it ON !!!

@ Pethie: Don't need any caffeine to stay awake with this Disco Beat...

@Alan - Oh yea, sign me up Musk!

@Alan --YES! I'm hoping to keep everyone moving and shaking as close to midnight as the schedule allows

Yeeoooooo P E T H I E !

@Pethie - I was a kiddo too and my love was Prog rock and Zappa weird, while the Bee Gee's made a Billion dollars... lol

ESG!

I was disco all the way until I heard the B-52s, and then I caught that new wave.

get down with that BASS

I'm going away with ESG, see ya!

Have a Good One Ambrose!

I don't blame ya, Ambrose!

@Pethie - When I heard 52 Girls, I sold my soul to the wave. I was lucky to hang in the Villege as play in the late 70's at some weird open mic stuff at places like the Dugout which had great beer and a bling eye toward minors... lol

@Alan, it's a lottery fun!😄

*lot of

Yeah, Peth, you sound fine!

@Pethie,, have a beer, or a cocktail!😁

@ Readie: Is there a FCC Regulation against getting smashed on the air??

@Readie - Cool revival show btw. :)

I love that dress of yours, and the earrings are pure Cugat.

Thanks, @Maryellen!

Bill and Walter were dancing to taste of honey!

I'm sipping some coffee to keep the disco flowing!

@Commie YAY! I love you Walter!

Burn Pethie burn 💃🏻 🔥

@ Alan, I don't think the FCC gives a flying..you know what, but I personally would never drink while doing a show, it's a personal ethic ingrained by my actor parents...also, my tongue might slip, and then the FCC would not be pleased...

@acmette acmette I'm going to create some sort of disco-like inferno.

@Roffle, thanks so much! Thx for listening!

DISCO INFERNO!

Can you play kiss DYNASTY (pls don't)

Yes, I will (won't)

I almost included the Fall's cover of Sisters Sledge's "lost in music" but It got cut for time

So cool! (Won't be a thing)

for @acmette acmette!

Peth, you gonna play some Boney M tonight? I was thinking about "Ma Barker" today.

Chaz Jankel!!! happy almost new year!!

I pondered that one and another, but nay, no Boney this time round!

Dana K! Happy New Year! Chaz rulez

Alas!

That Roxy Music made it on a disco playlist keeps me guessing about what else my life will hang out there in the sun.

Chaz my Chaz!

Yeah, Roxy's last few albums played quite a bit with disco bits!

Pre-Avalon, I should say.

Check!

@acmette acmette 💖

Okay @bruno, you fished your wish! Boney M has been added!

Yay boney m!!!

Request AIRHORN

Woohoo! Love ya Peth!

Honestly, this is the most "disco" in a row that I have heard since I was a teenager.

💖 Bruno!

Happy New Year, everybody! Just completed my year-end donation to WPRB! Disco on and DANCE! Commie, I am virtually interjecting the airhorn right now!!!

Disco party!! Airhorn blasts!! Happy New Year Pethie and everyone! 🥂

Do you have a WHISTLE pethie

I will check my box of this and that

I love a good disco whistle

"disco whistle" definitely sounds like a euphemism

Dang, I'm sure I have a whistle somewhere.....

@ Pethie: Check behind the Fridge....

There might be some pizza back there

Hey Pethie! You read my mind.. it's Pizza with Pethie time!!

Niiiiice

I just got some pizza scented perfume which i am going to try later

It smells like a pizza scratch and sniff sticker

Donna Summer--my favorite!!!!

Me too, @Li Maria!

@Commie, you've reminded me, I must add a spritz of Halston perfume to my disco ensemble!

Yesssssssssssss!

YEAH BONEY M

@Bruno: Definitely!

Sooooo good

Air hornssss!!!!

Woofer Workout!

Happy New Year Tyler B!

TYLER!!!!

Augie made me listen to "Beat the Clock" from this same album three times in a row today in the car.

DISCO FLUTE

Augie knows what's what

love it!

It Looks Like Love Pure 🔥🔥🔥

And that cover!

Soul makossa!

Finally escaped from 2 hours of Frog and Toad bedtime stories!

This counts as air horn in my book!

Frog and Toad go to Studio 54

Happy new year power clashers

happy new year, jerry! et al!

Best into the New Year Jerry!

Happy New Year, Selecta and everyone!

Happy New Year Jerry! Big ups!

🕺🏻

Selecta Jerry! Welcome to the partayyy!

Readie and alan big ups

Wprb family Happy new year! 🙏🏼🔥🎶

@ Jerry 💃 💃 💃 🌴 🌴 🌴

I feel under dressed for this playlist

I have an extra space blanket or two in the go bag if ya need.... lol

@Selecta, I have on some gold lame and sparkley makeup

No FCC Regulations against DJ in bathing suit...as long as not bring in too much sand

this show is popping

i am having sleepytime tea haha. but i envision i am back at studio 54!

@Roffle, lol!

PETH! Happy new year.

Oh, Happy New Year, Alastair!!!💖

@esoterica - Sleepytime tea before 12am is like wearing white after Labor Day! lol

haha

hi roffle!

Heya!

I had Sleepytime tea once, kept me up till 4AM!

@Alan - haha!

Je veux le faire

Hi Alastair, happy 2022!

I really have a few predictions about this strangely cool content, coming from the kid who hung out with the Disco Sucks tee shirt crowd. I am placing bet with myself just what they will be. That's what a good show does!

I love it, Roffle... I wanna know what your predictions are! I do have one song in particular coming up that's a classic disco hit

Bet ya $1 roffle

coming up next....super popular disco hit

I will share my #1 only. Turn the beat around. Because it sums up the whole disco experience for me.

All In Jerry! I will send to WPRB of course. :)

🤣😂

this is the soundtrack to pickle fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and collard greens (all made by my roommate brian who has many talents). and whiskey sours!

i hope it's fly robin fly

Hi Dana! happy new year to you!!

or sylvester you make me feel mighty real but i don't know if that's quite famous enough

Le freak, (c'est chic)

Good guesses, but no and no and no!

what i really want is do you wanna funk

ooooh, I love that one!

I might have to make room for it

You guys are so smart! Love your takes on all this. Over my head!

or every1's a winner. is that disco

absolutely.....but it's not this one.....

good one, @Commie

roffle i got educated on disco on the rateyourmusic forums in 2003

well plus i had the saturday night fever soundtrack somehow

ooh good one peth

phantasmagorical!

OOOH, yeah, Sweet!!!

i'm trying to work on my radio show and just watch the playlist but you keep sucking me back in

second best thing after disco whistle is the WOOT WOOT

i played every1’s a winner during my rollerdisco show

which had way more obvious songs than this show

I love this one and the other Heatwave hit--"Boogie Nights"

update pizza perfume smells weird, i don't think bianca jagger would wear this

yes! that is a great one, dana k. nicely used in frances ha

@Commie - I just love what folks show me all the time. The time that goes into it and what you bring out is awesome!

@Dana K- I remember - that was an epic shoow!

Okay this is top shelf!

guitar on fire!

More Giorgio Morodor fun with this Japan track.

nice!

@Commie - bianca jagger wore Mick Jagger. I thinks she's down with anything.

I’m sixteen again anytime in hear this.

oh yes!!!!

Wild Cherry 🔥🎶🔥

This song sounds so much like "Play that Funky Music", and yet it's still great! They found what worked and stuck with it

I definitely guessed that pizza perfume would smell weird

krista you are a true cassandra

Readie went full on Sly Stone! Totally fine!

it smells like those weird "erasers" that don't erase and smell like you should be eating them. plus oregano

I don't know much about perfume...but this Pepproni Pizza just outta the oven...Yeah!

i was hoping it would smell like pizza crust

evelyn champagne king, yay!

i have to shove off, peth! have an excellent night! fantastic show! happy new year, all!

happy NYE Pethie !

Happy NYE Matthew!

@Roffle, Sly Stewart - so fun!

Have a great night, esoterica!

@ Esoterica: Get well, sweet Dreams!

Happy New Year esotrica !

Yea, I knew kids with crayon addiction problems. They went into government instead of therapy. Oh well....

I got this album when it came out and I wanted Evelyn's pink satin outfit so bad.

hi matthew, thanks, you, too!

Feel better, esoterica! See ya leter!

*later*

thanks, alan! and thanks, pethie!

Much Love!

bye, readie and thanks! see ya:)

Happy NY, Matthew!

thx, roffle!:)

Happy New Year Readie! great party!

Yeah! From your avatar, looks like you're dressed for it as well, @Matthew

Phil...

@ Readie old DJs never die, they just fade away ...

@bruno.....sigh

WHISTLE

THere's ya whistle, Commie.

this is awesome, i didn't know sergio mendes went disco

I love that Sergio....

@Matthew Maginley - This is not the case. This stuff these DJ's gave me lives on. My kid will know what I have learned for sure.. And this is a digital landscape. It will live forever.

I want more!!!

oh yeah this is peak wprb disco

@Matthew, better to burn out than fade away - Djs will never die....

The feet are somehow awake!

This is one of those songs that the Sp#t#fy algorithms play for me constantly and I don't mind a bit.

this was the last track i played when i last DJ’d in New York…i wanna do that again some day

@Roffle I meant it as a joke. I used to be a DJ. The control board has faders. My bad.

@Dana K oooooh you should and you will!

@Matthew Maginley - No worries man!

@Dana - YESS, you will!

can you play the einsturzende neubauten disco song

I got your mix bord dude!

might as well do Genius of Love by Tom Tom Club. a worthy contribution

I think that DJ's affect the "Time-Line" more than they think...cause and effect etc..

@Dana K - yes, please, go for it!!

Z A P P

@ Roffle Cheers ! Next round on me : )

Done deal!

I am gonna owe Selecta Jerry a buck, but throw 10. Join me if you like!

YAYYYYYYYY

oh that was just roger not zapp sorry

OH YEAH!!!

no, it was Zapp

I DO WANNA FUNK

oh i guess roger just did it by himself on the MANY FACES OF ROGER

everyone wants to funk with sylvester

yes, please

This track COMIN" AT YA!

I say, everybody funk right now.

featuring the talents of patrick cowley

this was in old emph and on constant rotation when i first started at WPRB 🤩

Thank you to Commie for suggesting this one!

Funkin over here!

it is one of the songs i keep on hand in case i need to explain to someone that disco is actually super gay and super cool

indubitably

I usually wait for George Clinton, but I am good with this place.Pethie,

Roffle... I'm so glad you are enjoying the party!

@Pethie - It's really good, and if you said disco yesterday, , I dunno. But this is WPRB! The best always! Thanks for this!

Ya make my 2021 heart happy

Mine too! Look at the smart folks here. I'm good!

Yay a convert!

This is a good place to be!

@Commie - Count me in since 2011. lol

I mean to disco!

Earlier, but I was on the west coast, and only heard things in passing.

@Commie - Only as much as Heavy Metal, Prog, and so much else!

But, yea, got me!

Yooooo

PLUMS!!!

My houseguest has gone home, I am now free to chatter!

Hey, all! Hey, Pethie!!

DR H!!!!

Snow Addie?

If you not movin' during this show, go to Doctor and have your pulse checked!!!!

I've been listening but also driving, so no chat 😉

So happy you are here!

I really love when disco got into the 80s and went all electro

Hi JP, HNY!

The Loose Joints number made me v happy.

Aw yeah foxy!!!!

This was one of those albums my Dad had, and I would stare at the cover deeply

Disco basically became Techno in the 80's

HNY, RR! I caught some of your show too - chefkiss dot gif.

No snow, roffle. A weird heavy fog!

Hey, Addie

Ahoy, Bruno!

You got your sparkly eyeshadow on?

@Addie Bit of fog here in Philly, but not much at all. I don't need to drive in it so I care not.

Spooky fog in VT, Disco scares it away...

Cut time is scary.

No sparkly eyeshadow for me....sigh

...You can try some sparkly from Xmas tree

Pethie this has truly been an excellent show

Thank you so much, Commie! It was fun to put together!

Pethie + Disco + Pizza = great way to get into New Year

Agreed - super excellent show!

I figured it would be a nice mix for getting us closer to 2022

Thanks for the great show, Peth! Happy new year, everybody!

Thanks for a great party, Pethie!

Best to you Pethie and all WPRB'ers in the New Year ....Thanks to all WPRB DJ's in this past year looking forward to Next Year...PEACE to all....bcnu

Happy new year, folks!

Happy new year, you made our at home celebration much more festive!

Did not expect a full on disco. Off the rails! I totally owe Selecta Jerry for my off call! Hope he is good to my 10 bucks to WPRB instead of my 1 buck to I have no way to pay him account. LOL

My absolute best new years wishes to all - ❤&💪.

Thank you for a grrreat show! The v

Thank you everyone! What a fun night, i thank you all for listening and chatting! Happy New Year, Clashers!!!💖💖💖

Happy new year to everyone!

Great show, Pethie--HNY!
