Greetings, righteous ones! Recherché is on the AIR! Come on into the weekend with me!!

Hi Readie !!!.....Nice Meteor Photo!

Hey Alan! Yes, I haven't seen any shooting stars for a while...irl that is...

I'm tryin' to figure out if it's a composite image or what...where did you come by it?

I'm reading a book about mountain climbing...and how the tall peaks were the thing to conquer, and when the cartographers were able to chart the know world, we took to space....

Hello all. This Harold B is not a far cry from Rick Wright Great Gig in the Sky at times

Hi Freezing Brian...!!

u got that right Duckett

Hey Readie! Happy WEEEKEND *airhorn*

What is the book you're reading, @Readie?

Yeah, it must be a composite, I found it on images..

Angela D ! YA YA YA . Yoopy Hew Near to you !

Hi Christine! I think that Harold Budd track would make great music for an Observatory...

Hey Brian, Hi Christine! I'm reading "Mountains of the Mind" by MacFarlane...it's really a great book

yellowjackets vibe to this one.

@Readie sounds very interesting.

Hey Angela! I hope I never see or hear another yellowjacket...

Are you in another part of the country these days Angela or this ol East jernt still?

Yeah, he gets into philosophy as well as mountain climbing- it's a real journey...

@Alan, Jon Serrie got his start doing planetary shows.

Hearing how hawt Dante was, I have to say I'm cold pretty much all day today. The fireplace helps but then it gets real hot. 1st world problems, I know...

@ Readie: I had a course in rockclimbing at Temple U. the philosophy is to not "Come Off" as it's called!

Welcome Andy, how goes it?

Chillin' out to the sounds. I've been a Budd fan for decades.

@Alan, that's cool! And I watched "The Alpinist" - about a young climber (no spoilers) What a great film... to see how he climbed without ropes at first - amazing...

@ Andy: Thanks, waiting to hear some Jon Serrie sometimes.....

No Ropes is called "Free Climbing"

@Andy, yeah, I just discovered Budd recently... I'm into it

@ Readie: Mountains in general are Inspiring.

@Alan, hopefully not followed by Free Falling.

Saw LOTS of climbers at Mohonk 2 years ago. We were surprised how popular it was given that the cliffs aren't really that high.

@Alan, yeah, and the mountains he tackled that way were no molehills!

@ Readie: I love the composer Alan Hovhaness, all about mountains, I think that WPRB DJ Marvin Rosen once was his tech guy...

@Andy, Hudson Valley?

Yep! West of New Paltz and adjoining Minnewaska. Really lovely scenery.

@Alan, yes, Marvin was a great friend of Hovhaness, that's how Marvin and his lovely spouse met, a mutual love for Hovhaness's music...

@ Readie: WOW!!! a Friend, that's really saying something!!!

@Andy - looks beautiful!

Marvin is a champion of his music! @Alan

@ Readie: For sure!

oooo what a sunset in Central Bucks

magenta pink peach purple delight

@ Brian: Topped by a cloud bank??

@Brian....sounds beeautiful, I'm looking to the west and not seeing any colors here

ya beautiful strata paintbrush of colors & clouds

So great to catch one like that....

Pretty intense. Similar to the cover of Richard Wahnfried's "Tonwelle".

hi readie just read the description on Wikipedia about Marvin’s friendship w Hovhaness, it’s quite interesting

Hi Mark! Hey Andy, Andrea, Brian, & Alan 👋

Hi Christine :)

Hi Christine!

Cloudy all about here in central philly...

@mark - yeah, Marvin is an interesting person....a good friend...

Thanks to Marvin Rosen and Classical Discoveries, a lot of people are Alan Hovhaness fans. Me included.

@Andy - just looked up Tonwelle - very similar to the pic here - on Morey's pier in Wildwood...

Absolutely, @Christine! Marvin has introduced me to so much great music via Classical Discoveries...

Hildegard von Bingen! That's twice in one day!

and it’s easy to go down a rabbit hole on the subject. beautiful memorial Marvin wrote about his friend on his classical discovery web site

Really, @Dave, did you play her too?!

@DTO, didn't you play one of Hildegarde's pieces this morning?

@ Dave: Hi , Readie is a great von Bingen fan...

It's a Hildegard kinda evening!

Dave, that's amazing, that's not the first time we have had our sensibilities align!

Christine, I did.

From Garmarna's tribute for her 900th Birthday.

Most days work makes it impossible for me to listen to your great program, Dave, I think I caught you 2 weeks ago...or more...the days just seem to melt together...

Wow, Garmarna's one I will need to check out,,

Björk! 🇮🇸 💙

TYMPANI!

Surprise - it's Bkork's inspiro!

Garmarna's covers are a bit rocking, not strictly traditional.

Bjork

Close. I think this is where she got that groove

O Readie said it!

I love it! @Readie #AlltheTympani

Yep... we'll hear her next... compare and contrast..

All Tympani Set one day!

I like that, @Dave!

Tympani- yeah, Brian! good idea...

I ain't no simp, just gimme some tymp...

the percussion on this live track is super cool

And don't scrimp on the shrimp! 🍤🍤🍤🍤🍤

ever so ever so satisfying....

J'adore

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh5t4mYKsbg

yeaaaaaah ecology: homestones!!!

...watch the tram car please....

Hi Rachel!!

Wildwood Senior Week 1987. Only visited that town a couple more times since graduation. I remember the beach sand was like a half mile out to the water. Gotta get back to Cape May one day... good times there

ahoy, mateys!!

Was at Cape May about 3-4 years ago (BC) before covid...hadn't been to the Southern shore in a minute...love it...

AHOY, ADDIE!

Geography Geek content: Cape May, NJ sits at the same latitude as Washington, DC. Strange to think that south south Jerz is that south. But the drive time and distance makes sense ya

ahoy, addie!

hello, Readie, Christine!

@Brian, very cool 🌎

Addie I have a big tall can of Lawson's Sip o Sunshine cracked as the 1st beer of the weekend!

Yeah, @Brian, when I moved north from the Philly 'burbs, I started going to Spring Lake, Sea Girt, etc.

aw, yisssss, @brian!

<--VT Beer Fan

we got the good stuff!

I want my local distrib to carry the Lawson's Stony Hill Porter. That is sooo good. Only found it up there. As things go though I have seen over the years that some previously unavail things will make it down here eventually

i'm not a huge porter fan, but my husband is. i'll recommend he try that one!

Awww yeah this jam.... LADIES SKATE!

Oh man, my computer just switched to nighttime mode....scared me...whoa

woopeeewopppeee wooopeee now

Ya Addie. That Lawson's was just a paradise kind of destination. Shame my wife and I visited there during this period of no tours but... I bought up a big ol load of their cans!

oooo, yeah, i'd love to skate to this!

ICE skate!

the town rink just opened, i should get over there!

Sounds like fun, @Addie!

I haven't been in a whiiiile

show me how funkay you are!

Can I take it to the FRIDGE BOBBY>

YEAH !!

i used to have a spin class teacher who played this song! great to move to.

barry who? barry wiper lol

Sorry I missed JB ! Oh man, talk about late to the party

Hey Matthew! never too late...good to see ya!

Hildegard, Bjork ,Sugar Pie, watta party @ Readie < how you doin?> good to be seen! lol

@ Addie hi hi hey hey !

@Brian D hey hey hi hi !

Hey, Matthew, I am doin' just FINE!

< pew

Air horns!!!!!

YWWWWWWWWES

loving the percussion!!

If the earth is too chaotic, let's dance among the stars... love it

readie you are glitching

audio cutting out....

oh no, glitch-tastic

could be the Com-tastic problems from earlier in Jerry's show maybe?

Brian D, back in Dtown. Agh with?

oh hey, Matthew! good to see you!

Noooo I'm missing it!!

Mr. Spock switch to auxilary, Mr Scott close the antimatter valves , and flush the core

I am up the road inna da Dub-Land last 4 yrs or so. We got a condo heres

Addie I'm doing well. So happy to be able to join the show tonight.

glad it’s not just me at least eek

it’s a type of percussion anyway

@ Rachel ~ lol

OH NO! the FM stream is glitching I hear it- is the stream doing that?

I mean FM broadcast

stream is also glitching!

sadness!

yes it has all through the break

Sorry idk about b'cast on FM

it has an interesting dissonant quality but not quite the vibe you’re going for i think lol

I sent an SOS to tech!

prayer hands emoji

Sent an SOS to Mike Lupica too

Yay!! Steam is proper in OR now!

or not.

WE’RE BACK

OH no, now the NIGHTMARE FUNK!

now i know exactly how far behind the tunein stream is from you guys

:-)

So sorry, righteous ones!! It sounds good in my ears and all indications are I'm broadcasting!

you’re good now! i think!!

or not lol

It's still better than my inner monologue.

Hey Readie, just tuning in. The stream is cutting in/out/up on my laptop. No endless funk though

Yes, I sent SOS's to everyone, but haven't heard anything yet...nightmare funk was on a lil bit ago

What I'm hearing right now would make a good Matmos record

I hope everything gets fixed soon!

@Readie, as Brian said, this may be the same transmitter problem that was affecting Jerry Gordon earlier today. Sheesh.

LOL it really does sound like matmos

Oh, man, did Jerry get jacked too?

@Rachel, the new Matmos album "Fractured Radio"

@Readie, he did. For the first 25 minutes of his show.

Oh wow, sorry for him too, it's soooo stressfull!

Anyway, I shall carry on....I'm the only one enjoying Curtis singing "Right on for the darkness"... uh huh!!

I'm sorry that you're having to deal with the stress 😱 We're here for you!

Just keep playing Nightmare Funk over and over unit its fixed, maybe just that one measure form the middle.

It is a big bummer, Readie!

Thanks Christine!! You guys are the best...I'm sorry that you can't even enjoy nightmare funk

I think nightmare funk only kicks in when it's totally silent for awhile, so as long as it's glitching, it will continue....

My heart breaks a little each time I turn on the radio.....

@rob that’s the stuff!

Anyway, we'll tawk amongst ourselves....

I thought maybe the airhorn would whip it into shape, but no go...

So this is a Comtastic thing, eh?

Hi Rob, Rachel, and JimmyCarter!!!

now i just want to beat the glitch at its own game

Hi Read!!

Maybe airhorn emojis would help 📢 📢 📢 📢 📢

🔈 🔈 🔈 🔈

🔊 🔊 🔊 🔊 🔊

Funky Drummer time...

AWESOME!!

You were back in a non-glitching capacity for about 4 seconds ⭐

Cool, @Christine, maybe that's a gooood sign!

I kinda hope someone is working on it, haven't heard from anyone yet...

@Readie, I could clearly hear you say "air horn emojis" and I cracked up.

Type 2 fun. I shall endure!

Marvin, we have no audio!!! But we were talking about your great shoe earlier in the chat!

SHOW, not shoe, I'm not Ed Sullivan, lol

i heard a glitchy airhorn!

I heard reggae AND air horns for a few seconds! 💗Then the FM went back to Glitchville.

Yeah, I'm hopin' it'll brak on through.

HAHA! This song is doing horn and organ hits, just like the glitching! maybe it'll sound normal on the air!

Maybe if we all spark up a dooob it'll sound mellow....

Hey Gang, sorry about this. Looking into it now.

It sounds like water bubbles

Not a bad idea, @Readie. 🌿

Oh, hey Mike!! I'm just happy to see you....

Oh, the Cali herb, the Cali herb

Back from dinner, FM is choppy, too.

Hey Read, are you using a Mac or a PC?

Tantalizing wafer-thin slices of audio...and Air Horn lol

MAC

OK, Using Hijack?

Yes

OK. Please do this:

1. Disconnect from the server.

2. Go into the "broadcast" preferences and drop your send bitrate to 128kbps

3. Reconnect

wait, turn off the broadcast?

Yes. It will go to the funky drummer for a second

You can change the bitrate by clicking on the "Advanced Encoding Options" section.

Ok I did it

OK, now try reconnecting.

omg are we returning

OK, are we back

yaaaaaaay

Calypso King!

Nahh, still getting the funky drummer.

Damn, it's at 128

dang i was premature

There are serious internet problems at the transmitter. Still working on it.

Gotcha...

Thanks Mike!

Very sorry about this, everyone. For once, it's not actually our fault! There was some kind of internet outage at our transmitter today, and it seems that the issues are more ornate than we initially feared.

Yikes, this is the third time I’ve heard this loop.

Thanks for hanging out, my righteous chatters!

Guess I’ll go cook brisket...

The loyal WPRB FAM!

Hi Dan!

Hey there too! At least it’s Friday!

I’m going mattress shopping tomorrow. Any recommendations?

Yep, and I carry on as per usual

mesmerizing Torodi track.

At first I thought it was some whacked out contemporary music.

Oh, sooo close!

stupid transmitter!!

Wow! I was puttin' out my own "fires" here, non-computer ones, But I'm back for whatever it's worth....FM only this time...

Ok, Readie! Back when I still had a answering machine, there was a message left by a baby. Seriously. I imagined a baby laying on a blanket, maybe outside, and the baby accidentally dialed my number. It was baby breathing, and quiet baby sounds, with intermittent random buttons beeping, more baby sound. I saved it for a long time, it was so funny.

I can imitate the baby exactly.

@Dan, like that whacked out Bill Orcutt track Jon Solomon closed out with on Wednesday, we wouldn't know the difference, lol.

@Readie, we could hear a tiny slice of that wonderful Torodi track. 🎹🎶

Even this better than commercial radio..

....Cause at least we're headed in the Right direction eventually.

@Christine! LOL! @Alan... you are a riot

Precisely! 🔈💬🕳🐇

I have alerted Dana that this joyous ride may continue into this evening's edition of Don't Back the Front.

So sorry...

@dan, an answering machine message from a baby is the ultimate phone blessing. 👶📱

Is aluminum foil being incorporated somehow?

about 75 minutes so far...

@Dan, I may climb the tower and shove a potato onto the end of it.

That usually helps.

Then I'll blast the air horn three times in a row and dance of the table!

True confession dept.- You know you’re old when you don’t recognize most of the tunes on the classic rock station.

@Dan, oh my, what are they playing?

Promising! Miles?!?

William Parker

Muted trumpet always sounds like Miles to me.

In preparation for the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has kicked the station offline. Great playlists are a bigger threat than stinger missiles.

Ah Yes, I remember the old days of Short Wave listening, Radio Deutchewelle would fade in and out with the ionosphre. It's called in ham radio QSB...

@Andy Wing, that's funny in a black humor way

до свидания

Neh Dobreh!

I wonder if anyone ever recorded that annoying dial up internet sound, that sounded like nails on blackboard screech?

wow, i have a lot to look forward to at 8 it seems!

Sookie Sin Transmitter!!!

DANA K!

Ciao Readie! Better luck next week!

sin=son sookie=bitch

THE VOICE OF AMERICA

Since about 6:30 it's glitchy / nightmare funk/glitch and tawk amongst yerselves. I'm verklempt!

@Dan, maybe The User included that in their "Symphony for Dot Matrix Printers - Dance of the Downsized"?

Thanks for keepin' me company, y'all!

i've definitely heard glitchy nightmare funk played on WPRB *on purpose* before...

lol

It goes with the territory @ Readie....

Love ya, Readie! 💗 It's was still fun tawking amongst ourselves ☕ #cawfee #dawgs

Well, it is what it is! LOVE YOU CHRISTINE!

Candle light seems most appropriate. Like we’re huddled together telling scary stories...”The bloody, bloody dishrag...etc.

Something something Buddhist something impermanence ☸

ha, @Dan...I've got a flashlight under my chin RIGHT NOW! BOOOOO

Stay Righteous, y'all!

😱

Looking back, I really liked the Harold Budd, gotta check that one out later...
