Pure chaos over here. Thanks for tuning in.

This intro is all exclamation marks! lol
Jon Solomon (host) 5:02:38 PM
True indeed. The person reading those words is currently cooking dinner in the other room / we nearly had a pre-show smoke detector set-off.
Matthew Snopenhauer 5:03:02 PM
This song should be mashed up w/ Melt w/ You
Jon Solomon (host) 5:03:23 PM
Ha! They are of a similar vintage.
Jon Solomon (host) 5:03:40 PM
Melt With You has it by a couple years, my quick research shows...
Roffle... 5:03:41 PM
Too cool. I remember the old version. I like the new one much better, but either has great merit.
Brian D 5:04:54 PM

Jon Solomon (host) 5:09:51 PM
I have been in the market for a new knit cap and perhaps the answer is actually "start wearing a WPRB beanie."
Captain Ahab 5:11:27 PM
It's my fave! I think it was part of the premiums from 2013?
Jon Solomon (host) 5:12:07 PM
I know that we have one, or at least there's one near my impossible-to-reach office desk.
Matthew Snopenhauer 5:12:20 PM
Jon you aren't gonna rock a wool cap saying I'M A SLUT FOR CRAB RANGOON ?!
Jon Solomon (host) 5:12:31 PM
I wonder if a new beanie with a stitched patch on it would be a cool premium.
Roffle... 5:12:49 PM
Top shelf cap. I wish the campus bookstore would carry the merch.
Jon Solomon (host) 5:13:00 PM
A friend was trying to get me to buy a knit cap with a tomato on it but I figured I would tire of being called "a hot tomato" quickly.
Matthew Snopenhauer 5:13:33 PM
Tomato pie
Jon Solomon (host) 5:13:47 PM
Roffle, a decent idea in the closed-studio times might be to have Princeton Record Exchange sell old premiums. More likely to sell there than the bookstore!
Roffle... 5:14:43 PM
Jon, definitely makes more sense to go Rec EX.
DSM 5:15:30 PM

Hey Jon and Roffle and Matt and Capt and Brain
fr1dayafternoon 5:16:45 PM
I’m ready to spend my hard earned money on a WPRB beanie, thanks.
Jon Solomon (host) 5:17:29 PM
Roffle, I will suggest it when the staff returns to town in a week or so...

whelp I just got news the Baroness concert I was going to Friday has been postponed :( not surprised but UUUGGHHH
Roffle... 5:19:29 PM
Jon, oh heck yea! See about an online store too please. If the minds that matter would consider it that is.
Matthew Snopenhauer 5:19:49 PM
That sux Ahab
Captain Ahab 5:19:59 PM
was going to throw sooo many goats
Captain Ahab 5:20:04 PM
now where will all the goats go
Matthew Snopenhauer 5:20:51 PM
Just throw the goat at Dunkin instead
Roffle... 5:22:17 PM
Out to pasture?
Roffle... 5:22:34 PM
Or the junk yard?
Captain Ahab 5:22:52 PM
Guess that'll have to do
Matthew Snopenhauer 5:22:52 PM
All goats go to heaven
Matthew Snopenhauer 5:23:00 PM
Except Black Philip
Jon Solomon (host) 5:23:00 PM
Roffle, the issue with an online store is fulfillment. I think "year-round" shirts for off-season donors might be possible but not presently given that we're all apart. A TeePublic print-on-demand option is something I've considered bringing to the table (that is how I do my Xmas marathon shirts, on sale now...).
Jon Solomon (host) 5:23:34 PM
I am sorry, Cap. Not a shock but sort of the theme of your trip to our shores.
Patrick Rapa 5:24:19 PM
i never knew effed up could sound like this
Captain Ahab 5:27:37 PM
yeah, im just numb to it all now, throw it onto the pile
fr1dayafternoon 5:27:38 PM
Earlier I thought the same when I accidentally played the Kiwi Jr YouTube video in the playlist.
Roffle... 5:27:39 PM
@Jon - Silly me, that tee is a must have! I think we all noticed the spread time for members for the comp merch is over a month. Pre-ordering from the station would not make sense.
Jon Solomon (host) 5:28:46 PM
@Patrick, this is act four of a full four act musical they put out in 2021. There's all sorts of unexpected diversions throughout but it tells a complete story. One week I'd like to air it in full.
Jon Solomon (host) 5:29:01 PM
Rock opera, not musical. You know what I mean.
Patrick Rapa 5:29:21 PM
yeah i just started reading about it. i missed out
Jon Solomon (host) 5:29:49 PM
Could put a bunch of out of print WPRB shirts on TeePublic. It is a compelling idea and you don't need to worry about fulfillment. I will research!
Jon Solomon (host) 5:30:14 PM
Julian Baker sings in this act.
Roffle... 5:30:56 PM
Jon Solomon Xmas marathon shirts!!! Worth the punctuation. If there are boxes of the stuff laying around, I want some for sure.
Jon Solomon (host) 5:31:18 PM
The soup my daughter is making a.) nearly set off the smoke detectors b.) now needs to cook for an extra two hours. Guess we're dining down the stretch tonight...
Jon Solomon (host) 5:31:49 PM
Roffle, the three marathon shirts my friend Chris designed are pretty awesome. I have 2-3 more in mind. One easier than the others...
Roffle... 5:32:20 PM
Super!!! I'm in for sure.
Jon Solomon (host) 5:32:32 PM
Needless to say, this F'd Up track came at the perfect time to restore the kitchen.
esoterica! 5:33:23 PM
hey jon!
Roffle... 5:33:27 PM
I am making Miso soup. It would take a flame thrower to set off the alarm with that stuff... :)
Jon Solomon (host) 5:34:43 PM
Esoterica! Hello!
Roffle... 5:35:11 PM
esoterica!
Jon Solomon (host) 5:35:15 PM
She let the olive oil heat up too long. I had to open the back door and put on some fans. If a smoke detector goes off mid-mic break it is probably mine not yours.
Roffle... 5:35:47 PM
lol, will keep that in mind.
DSM 5:36:15 PM
Soup night. Olive soup here. And a fresh loaf.
Jon Solomon (host) 5:37:11 PM
Tell me more about olive soup! What type(s) of olives??
Brian D 5:38:10 PM
Great trip down 21 memory lane. Tonight it's a fave : Med Spread! Home made baba g, home made spicy tomato feta dip, rice, more feta, naan subbing o so well for pita
DSM 5:38:13 PM
It's fantastic! Kalamata olives, smoked paprika, fire roasted tomatoes, lentils, spinach and some other stuff. It really creates a unique soup!
Jon Solomon (host) 5:38:35 PM
Yowza. Sounds really nice. The kid loves olives so I will have to look up a recipe post-show.
Brian D 5:38:49 PM
DSM that would go well w ours
DSM 5:38:55 PM
I also add regular green olives, cuz I can't have enough olives.
Jon Solomon (host) 5:38:57 PM
Yeah, you two might want to trade leftovers.
DSM 5:39:15 PM
Brian that sounds fantastic.
esoterica! 5:40:25 PM
hi roffle, bri and dsm!
DSM 5:40:44 PM
Jon, I'll email you the recipe and will try to remember to actually do so
DSM 5:40:55 PM
Hey esoterica!
Jon Solomon (host) 5:41:05 PM
That would be outstanding. New schedules mean I'm doing a bunch more cooking than usual around these parts.
Roffle... 5:42:26 PM
I used to buy olives in Corning, CA all the time while passing thru. Sorta their thing around there.
DSM 5:45:54 PM
Never got to get olives in Corning, but Gilroy CA was garlic capital and would have a garlic fest that was quite quaint.
Jon Solomon (host) 5:46:03 PM
A good bowl of fancy mixed olives?
DSM 5:46:41 PM
And, Kennett Square, PA, is known as the Mushroom Capital of the World because over half of all U.S. mushrooms come from this area.
Jon Solomon (host) 5:50:26 PM
A good bowl of fancy mixed mushrooms?
Roffle... 5:51:46 PM
@DSM - Watsonville is another place like that. The self proclaimed "Artichoke World Capital". Still cracks me up.
esoterica! 5:53:52 PM
don't forget dates in indio, ca! although if you look it up palm springs calls itself the date capital.
Roffle... 5:54:03 PM
@DSM, If you ever have been to Doris, CA during Mushroom Season, the buyer booths will blow your mind in an other wise uninhabited city for most of the year.
esoterica! 5:54:55 PM
wow, bri, you are making me hungry with the med spread:)
Brian D 5:55:16 PM
O ya forgot about the marinated griddled chicken breast. Med Spread delight!
Jon Solomon (host) 5:55:25 PM
Yowza!
esoterica! 5:55:32 PM
yum
Roffle... 5:55:34 PM
Indio! For sure the place you can see the date trees from miles and miles away!
Brian D 5:56:21 PM
probably some hummus around too and mixed greens etc
esoterica! 5:57:17 PM
correct, roffle!
DSM 5:58:29 PM
Roffle, Esoterica, nice! Love places that deem themselves food capitals
Brian D 5:58:30 PM
Riding down to southern Spain 30 yrs ago on post grad session trip we went through massive olive groves. Aroma permeated the thick bus windows. Nice
Roffle... 5:59:30 PM
@esoterica - I know almost every nook and cranny of California. lol
esoterica! 5:59:52 PM
that's cool!
esoterica! 6:00:24 PM

Roffle... 6:00:46 PM

Ya loved the bar tapa scene in Madrid. And restaurants w that Euro column a coulum b layout for ordering.
Rob from Maryland 6:04:17 PM
We are eating a leftover-based chickpea dinner
esoterica! 6:04:21 PM

Hello! I’m having tortilla soup for dinner
Rob from Maryland 6:04:36 PM

Rob from Maryland 6:04:52 PM
Hi esoterica! How are you feeling tonight?
Rob from Maryland 6:05:09 PM
And hi everyone
Maura 6:05:09 PM
From the MIT-borne mini-chain Clover, which just started its weekly soup delivery program!
Jon Solomon (host) 6:05:55 PM
Rob! Maura! All the best in the chat tonight.
Roffle... 6:05:58 PM
Leftover Peruvian Rotisserie is waiting, but I fine with the Miso soup for now.
esoterica! 6:06:03 PM
my fave spanish lunch was a cana of beer, maybe a bocadillo de queso, some ollives, anchovies, jamon serrano, tortilla espanola
Jon Solomon (host) 6:06:07 PM
The soup in question around here is a black bean chipotle deal.
esoterica! 6:06:11 PM
insert tildes lol
Brian D 6:06:12 PM
Right on Eso! Glad you are here! The bars w that order a round, get a free plate of tapas deal every night. Happy hours and hours
Jon Solomon (host) 6:06:23 PM
Clover is good stuff.
Rob from Maryland 6:07:01 PM
One of my favorite songs from last year is Wet Leg's "Chez Longue". Another is the ten-minute version of "All Too Well"

Jon Solomon (host) 6:07:31 PM
Rob, Chaise Lounge made last week's show.

hey rob! yes, feeling much better
esoterica! 6:07:37 PM
thanks
Jon Solomon (host) 6:07:38 PM
It is a gem.
Rob from Maryland 6:07:47 PM
@Jon, I know! I was happy and it is a gem
Roffle... 6:08:03 PM
Lets have a WPRB day where the food isn't done until the smoke alarms go off. Just sayin'...
Rob from Maryland 6:08:11 PM
@esoterica, great news!
Jon Solomon (host) 6:08:16 PM
Had to explain the All Too Well / video to my spouse recently. Lotta scarf talk.
Jon Solomon (host) 6:08:23 PM
Glad you're on the mend, E.
Brian D 6:08:46 PM
Ya i resembled that lunch! Or Spanish tortilla (potato omelet/frittata ish) and some manchego. Or an enselada rusa (tuna olives tomato and what else? )
Rob from Maryland 6:09:14 PM
@Jon, 🧣
Rob from Maryland 6:10:05 PM
This Sault song is another one of my favorites from 2021. I know I'll be discovering more 2021 songs as this year rolls on
Rob from Maryland 6:10:24 PM
Oh, Radiohead's "Follow Me Around" is another good one
Jon Solomon (host) 6:10:51 PM
I didn't love this Sault album as much as others of theirs but this song, man!
Roffle... 6:12:00 PM
I think 'That one song on the album', about sums it all up.
Jon Solomon (host) 6:12:25 PM
Time to go full condor.
esoterica! 6:12:46 PM
yum, bri. sounds like the ticket
esoterica! 6:12:59 PM
whoooo! jon yes
esoterica! 6:13:08 PM
EB one of my faves
Jon Solomon (host) 6:14:03 PM
Indeed. I finally listened to the album in full this week. Good stuff.
Brian D 6:14:30 PM
said it last year but even more so this year... the recap shows are so great for reminiscing many days of prb listening, adding to the library, recommending to others remembering things i forgot. But hard on the wallet maybe!
Roffle... 6:15:31 PM
A song is right for ya when you just wanna play whatever instrument ya might play, along with. Or, ya might just wanna turn it up!
Jon Solomon (host) 6:16:00 PM
Brian, I agree. Have enjoyed other DJs similar wrap-ups greatly.

Jon Solomon (host) 6:22:19 PM
Yes, I would imagine if an LP side didn't max out around 24 minutes they would keep going...
Jon Solomon (host) 6:23:20 PM
Also, I started working on a record this week and the pressing plant said 34 week turnaround so get ready for all your favorite 21/22 albums to make it to vinyl in...2023?
Roffle... 6:23:31 PM
Only in vinyl land does that really matter these days.

Jon Solomon (host) 6:27:43 PM
Thank you, DSM. My work is narrow in focus but this chat is clearly my target demo.
Teresa Eispfau 6:29:31 PM
Did the Endless Boogie's lead guitar just riff on ".. play that funky music, white boy... "?
Jon Solomon (host) 6:29:44 PM
Teresa, that's how you make an entrance! Excellent question.
Roffle... 6:31:49 PM
See if that old CBS pressing plant near Glassboro has some cheepo resources to sell to the cause to up production. :) The place looks like it is going full Chernobyl these days.
Jon Solomon (host) 6:32:31 PM
NJ has two active pressing plants currently. One up by Elizabeth (Stereodisk) and one in Bordentown.
Roffle... 6:32:58 PM
Yea, I was not talking current!
Jon Solomon (host) 6:33:03 PM
I know Stereodisk got their press(es) from Canada but they originated from an out of business NJ pressing plant.
Jon Solomon (host) 6:33:14 PM
So perhaps the CBS one!
Mary Jones 6:33:42 PM
Sorry, Jon, stepped away from the chat to take care of dinner—if you think of it, let me know!

@DSM - I heard it first with Mike on The Freeform Pathogen by popular demand.
Jon Solomon (host) 6:43:36 PM
I finally remembered to message Ever/Never about Spiritual Mafia to ask if they know they have The Song Of The Chat.
DSM 6:44:23 PM
Roffle, I think Mike's show is where I heard it first as well. Seems a likely origin.
Roffle... 6:44:44 PM
He played it TWICE that night... lol
DSM 6:44:49 PM
Jon, did they respond?
Jon Solomon (host) 6:46:15 PM
It was earlier today, not as of yet.
Jon Solomon (host) 6:46:59 PM
I think Mike played it and then the chat started goading (I say that with love) other shows to also spin it.
Roffle... 6:48:18 PM
The chat also start a Sparks revival in the rotation. Quite funny, but most welcome.
Roffle... 6:49:46 PM
I can not get enough of those Afrique guitar vibes!
Brian D 6:51:17 PM
mighty Mdou!
Jon Solomon (host) 6:51:37 PM
I could be wrong but I don't think any of that would have happened if we were just using the request line and DJ email addresses (RIP requests@wprb.com).
Teresa Eispfau 6:51:41 PM
A extremely late commentary on renewed show-going -- On 9/11/21, my best friend and I went to see Mdou Moctar at Holyoke, MA's excellent newish venue Gateway Center for the Arts! It was the first show I'd attended in person since 2016 or 2017 I think. They were WONDERFUL!
Jon Solomon (host) 6:51:47 PM
So long live the chat.
Jon Solomon (host) 6:52:07 PM
Lovely. They were terrific when I saw them in Jersey City.
Roffle... 6:53:01 PM
Thank goodness for the really smart folks that show up here with above average knowledge.
DSM 6:53:03 PM
I was listening to that Music From Saharan Cellphones comp the other week and the Mdou Moctar track on there is so different. they are such a strong band now
Teresa Eispfau 6:53:32 PM
Oh I believe it! Also, the crowd was incredibly eclectic; for example, I was hardly the oldest person in the audience! YAY!!!
Brian D 6:54:29 PM
Big as a minute as mom says. Almost
Mary Jones 6:54:31 PM
The chat is one of the coolest things the station has done. I’m really grateful for the community here!
Roffle... 6:54:53 PM
Lol, I thought you were gonna say the Martha Vineyards Ferry's speakers. lol
DSM 6:55:37 PM
The chat has definitely added a strong dimension to WPRB
Brian D 6:56:05 PM
Someoneone on the Ween Forum turned me on to Group Dueh about 15-20 years ago. Desert African guitar with that heavy phaser effect. Hooked. Found even more bands over the years.
Teresa Eispfau 6:56:23 PM
I concur that Lupica was first to air 'Bath Boy'!
Teresa Eispfau 6:57:11 PM
Ooooo, Brian D -- Gotta check Group Dueh out! (-:
Roffle... 6:57:20 PM
Lupica is prepping and not available for comment. :)
Brian D 6:57:21 PM
I heard Jen Running Redlights play the song Al Fresco first. Then Bath Boy madness started soon after. Love the meme Jon!
Chef Emeril Lagasse 🍳 6:58:46 PM
tell em i got food
Maura 6:59:45 PM
Bam
Jon Solomon (host) 7:00:28 PM
I tried to say More-a after Maura and then I realized they sound exactly the same on the radio.
DSM 7:01:01 PM
Really liked that Blue Gene Tyranny reissue that came out this year, the 25 minute story/song track is so unique and pure
Jon Solomon (host) 7:01:02 PM
Brian, thank you for your research. Also the black bean soup turned out very nicely with some pickled red onions, avocado and added chipotle dollops.
Jon Solomon (host) 7:01:17 PM
DSM, when you send the soup recipe my way please add a link to hear this!
Roffle... 7:01:18 PM
Now that is why we love to be here. The unplayed!
Roffle... 7:01:56 PM
The cool unplayed, I should say.
DSM 7:03:09 PM
Jon, will do!
Jon Solomon (host) 7:03:15 PM
Also, only realizing now how Australia-heavy this set is!
Teresa Eispfau 7:03:16 PM
@Brian D -- Is that black bean soup recipe from the NYT? From Jon's experience with it, it sounds like the same recipe that is my family's favorite vegan meal!
Jon Solomon (host) 7:04:12 PM
This was from the NYT. Group effort. I chopped pre-show. Kid followed the steps and Nicole was the closer.
Jon Solomon (host) 7:04:33 PM

Roffle... 7:04:39 PM
Amyl and The Sniffers just is so Courtney Barnett to me. There it is, but all good.
Mary Jones 7:05:34 PM
I’m just gonna have to break down and get a subscription to the NYT cooking site
Teresa Eispfau 7:05:48 PM
And like you 3, we are very very liberal with the chipotle dollops. Sooooo good!
Mary Jones 7:06:52 PM
I keep seeing great recipes recommended from there—it’s only a matter of time.
Dennis Lingg 7:07:08 PM
Someone should compile a wprb chat cookbook, after the Christmas show chat cvs receipt, of course.
Roffle... 7:07:37 PM
@Mary Jones - So much food, so little time.
Teresa Eispfau 7:08:24 PM
I second Dennis' suggestion! That would make for some excellent pledge drive swag too!
Jon Solomon (host) 7:08:42 PM
Mary, I think it is a bargain given how much we lean on it.
Jon Solomon (host) 7:08:56 PM
WPRB listener cookbook zine. Write that down!
Jon Solomon (host) 7:09:30 PM
Both these songs to start the set I heard on other DJs shows and both are from Australia.
Mary Jones 7:09:35 PM
Ooo, that would be some great donor swag
Jon Solomon (host) 7:10:01 PM
Second was a total Ahab swipe.
Roffle... 7:10:51 PM
Geez! We need a Robert's Rules of Order: Minutes recorder for recipes!
Roffle... 7:12:17 PM
Oh wait... Chat! Nvr mind.. lol
jimbeaux 7:12:21 PM
Helllooowww fwenz!🐈
Jon Solomon (host) 7:12:48 PM
Jimbeaux! That explains why the crowd was chanting M-V-P! M-V-P!
Jon Solomon (host) 7:13:20 PM
By gawd, that's Mr. Malcontent's music!
jimbeaux 7:14:05 PM
Most Valorous Polenta?
Teresa Eispfau 7:14:17 PM
I have a 'Today is an Octopus' swipe request -- "Sparrow" off of Human Impact's 2021 album! [also:] Heeewwwwoooo jimbeaux!
Jon Solomon (host) 7:14:26 PM
Have you ever tried to chant Most Valorous Polenta? Not easy!
Jon Solomon (host) 7:14:45 PM
I am glad I get to hear at least some of Dan's show in the car each week.
jimbeaux 7:14:58 PM
It's my go-to-sleep mantra!
Roffle... 7:15:55 PM
I don't think any of my gods would object to chanting that. But they seem to joke around a bit.
Teresa Eispfau 7:16:08 PM
@jimbeaux -- Does it work? Gotta try that.
jimbeaux 7:17:25 PM
One of my kids turned off the radio during Endless Boogie as i stepped out of the kitchen and they got a major Paul Major lecture.
jimbeaux 7:17:36 PM
Yes, Teresa!
Roffle... 7:19:24 PM
Kids these days!
Jon Solomon (host) 7:20:37 PM
I hope you gave them No Quarter.
Ambrose Hughes 7:20:55 PM
Hi Jon! Hi all in the chat!
Roffle... 7:21:03 PM
Or allowance!
Roffle... 7:21:16 PM
Hey Bro
jimbeaux 7:22:06 PM
None Whatsoever :) This one is actually a wprb listener, so i went easy.

Tim Conheeney 7:22:52 PM
I was making steamed clams in butter, garlic, white wine and parsley during tonight's set.
Tim Conheeney 7:23:01 PM

Compassion is the sign of good human parenting in MHO.
Jon Solomon (host) 7:23:12 PM
Impressive, Tim.
Jon Solomon (host) 7:23:22 PM
Hello, Ambrose!
Jon Solomon (host) 7:23:34 PM
(No Quarter put out the new Endless Boogie record.)
Jon Solomon (host) 7:23:40 PM
Jokes!
Roffle... 7:23:59 PM
Deep Jon!
Roffle... 7:26:17 PM
If they turned off the feed then, they certainly got No Quarter. lol
Chef Emeril Lagasse 🍳 7:28:20 PM
someone say clams?
jimbeaux 7:28:40 PM
This is super...almost thought it was newer Angel Bat Dawid.
Roffle... 7:29:23 PM
Never clamed to, but I have black mussles chef!
esoterica! 7:29:27 PM
barn was on my list, too! good stuff
Jon Solomon (host) 7:29:35 PM
I am guessing both would be flattered by the comparison. I learned today that Judd Apatow's grandpa was in The Loud Minority.
Jon Solomon (host) 7:30:15 PM
I didn't love all of Barn, but I have listened to this song practically daily for the past couple weeks.
Roffle... 7:30:50 PM
The Loud Minority must be heard at some point.
Roffle... 7:31:22 PM
That's the best part of music.
Jon Solomon (host) 7:31:48 PM
A correction, Apatow's grandpa was Bob Shad from Mainstream Records.
Chef Emeril Lagasse 🍳 7:32:55 PM
ooo still havent listened to anything from this yet!
DSM 7:33:35 PM
Yeah I also forgot to check out Barn somehow, sounding good!
Roffle... 7:33:40 PM
Neil Young just finds a way. Love it.
Jon Solomon (host) 7:34:19 PM
This song feels like I've known it all my life. Felt the same about his tune Ramada Inn first I heard it.
jimbeaux 7:35:09 PM
New to me...has that great On The Beach desperation.☂️
Jon Solomon (host) 7:35:24 PM
Speaking of which, I'm still in the market for a copy of On The Beach...
Brian D 7:36:31 PM
So good this one
Patrick Rapa 7:36:53 PM
people used to tell me to read the apocalyptic novel On the Beach, but it's really not my thing
Patrick Rapa 7:37:11 PM
there's like pages and pages of low-stakes auto racing
esoterica! 7:38:00 PM
this is great!
Chef Emeril Lagasse 🍳 7:38:21 PM
i want to see a neil young cover of THIS
Rob from Maryland 7:38:28 PM
This is bringing me maximum joy
Mary Jones 7:38:45 PM
Ok, I’ve enjoyed everything you’ve played tonight, but this song is knocking me out!
Jon Solomon (host) 7:39:16 PM
It is a banger. Space! Race!
Roffle... 7:39:58 PM
Oh man, just wow! Took a cool hard turn, and holding on for dear life!
Andy Wing 7:40:16 PM
Just tuning back in. FM is still weak and mono. I guess those solar storms are still hitting us? Stream is fine.
Jon Solomon (host) 7:40:41 PM
Andy, where are you tuning into the FM from? Worth reporting to our tech guy?
Andy Wing 7:42:53 PM
Hey Jon. I'm in King of Prussia. This started very suddenly during Marvin's show a bit before 10. Mike did a deep dive and didn't find anything, thinking it was external to the station. Colin reported solar activity from the NOAA site about the same time. Maybe WARM is doing something weird?
Jon Solomon (host) 7:43:32 PM
Huh. Interesting. I will text two people that need to know this when I get off-air. Appreciated!
Roffle... 7:43:50 PM
Actually the solar storm was on the far side of the sun, but other sunspots are up soon. Still radio can get a hit. for sure.
Jon Solomon (host) 7:43:57 PM
Certainly not something overheating at the transmitter today!
Brian D 7:44:07 PM
I have stereo clear fm 103.3 here in Dublin.
Chef Emeril Lagasse 🍳 7:44:26 PM
i tell you hwat its hot in this KITCHEN GOD DAMN
Brian D 7:44:30 PM
Dublin Pa that is
Andy Wing 7:44:47 PM
If it ain't Ida, it's solar flares, lol.
Brian D 7:45:50 PM
Oz is on fire
Ambrose Hughes 7:45:56 PM
Civic was just the fix!
Brian D 7:46:19 PM
Spain too. Rocking these days both nations
Roffle... 7:46:28 PM
@Chef - I bet this is a good time to make hot oil!
Patrick Rapa 7:46:48 PM
i was just in a car in South Jersey and it sounded good on the stereo
DSM 7:47:21 PM
FM sounding good over in Newtown PA.
Andy Wing 7:47:50 PM
Must be something local to me then. No worries.
Chef Emeril Lagasse 🍳 7:48:03 PM
@roffle sure! you can all choose one special ingredient to add
Roffle... 7:49:32 PM
@Chef - Ghost Voodoo Chile! What can I say?
Roffle... 7:51:02 PM
I bought a vile from the Asian market today. I have yet to even open it.
Chef Emeril Lagasse 🍳 7:51:28 PM
WOW lets throw it in! the chile and the vile
Chef Emeril Lagasse 🍳 7:51:33 PM
vile vial
Jon Solomon (host) 7:52:28 PM
Almost at the finish line! What a terrific sprint this is!
Jon Solomon (host) 7:52:37 PM
Mike is up at the top of the hour. DUH.
Roffle... 7:52:38 PM
BEGORRA Chef?
Chef Emeril Lagasse 🍳 7:52:50 PM
PEACE & THANK U jon! sorry if I missed it, but is there any chance that the xmas marathon is uploaded in totality anywhere? lol
Jon Solomon (host) 7:52:56 PM
Go buy some of these releases and tell 'em WPRB sent ya.
Jon Solomon (host) 7:53:28 PM
Chef! I have been posting select tracks recorded for the marathon daily online. Start there and I bet some more of it will appear as we go forward...
Roffle... 7:53:31 PM
Thanks Jon, always, always just right. Have a good soup.
Chef Emeril Lagasse 🍳 7:53:45 PM
@roffle U2

Chef, I have been cooking dinner here 2-3 nights a week now, making you proud!
Jon Solomon (host) 7:56:01 PM
Gonna pour a third seltzer, crack a box of raisins and lean into The Freeform Pathogen with all you good people in mere minutes.

Commie Francis ☭ 7:57:10 PM
i love this song but the rest of the album didn't really do it for me
Jon Solomon (host) 7:57:15 PM
Same!!
Commie Francis ☭ 7:57:28 PM
also i missed BATH BOY because i was listening to the ronettes :( : ( :(
Jon Solomon (host) 7:57:39 PM
Commie, there's one other that connected with me but the "single" sold me a touch of a false bill of goods with this album.
Jon Solomon (host) 7:58:00 PM
Thank you, Paatrick.
Brian D 7:58:22 PM
Great time Jon! See y'all round
Roffle... 7:58:28 PM
@Commie Francis - Man oh man my time is so divided too!
Commie Francis ☭ 7:58:31 PM
yeah if i'd had the money at the time i would have bought the album sight unseen based on this song! kinda glad i didn't
jimbeaux 7:58:40 PM
do not miss Commie's 300th show on Sat!
Commie Francis ☭ 7:58:49 PM
mike will be playing some songs by veronica this evening
Commie Francis ☭ 7:59:02 PM
