Chat is archived.

What’s happening?! What’s goin on!? What’s all this about!?!

ALL SHALL BE REVEALED.

SOON.

Soon by My Bloody Valentine?

Son Joloman was making fun of you?

That wasn't me, I was hacked by the guy from The Mooney Suzuki!

Awww, “MikeLupica” ❤️

Friday was the realm of the Calypso King. 2022 needs an Ice Bear vs Calypso King death match playlist.

Hey Pit Crew!

🙏

Hi Mork, I mean Mike!

I was tuned in for the pirate radio show!

Hi Christine!

Greetings and Salutations, to One and All!

MY FELLOW VEGANS, WELCOME.

Hi Bo!

@Mike, I could hear you on FM and live stream but couldn't access the chat last week to let you know fyi.

Off to a great start tonight! 🎶🎵

I would bet heavily on Ice Bear in that matchup, Andy.

I am not a vegan!

Thanks for working through the radio emergency last Friday, @Mike. And all the PRB staff!

Ambrose, yeah, the playlist conspired against me towards the end of the show.

Our pleasure!

@Mike, we could hear you, but the platlist chat was closed, so we couldn't comment.

Conspiratorial airwaves be dawned.

*damned

DJ MikeLupica, the chat was closed during the emergency broadcast because the end of the show was time stamped as 10pm instead of 11pm. All chats automatically close to everyone except the DJ, five minutes after the end of show time.

Third time The Fluid has come up in my world in the last 36 hours! Twice today!

@MrM 💀, so that was why? Interesting, and good on you for figuring that out.

Fluid are flowing.

Yep, MrM, you are 100% correct. Consider yourself hired as our new IT Director!

In the near future, everyone will be VEGAN ❤️

Jon, get outta my 90s.

Well, maybe after this song.

@Mr.M💀thank you for that explanation.

I was trying to figure out a way to contact you! @DJ MikeLupica

I hope you're right, MrM.

I tuned too late to notice the time stamp. Shoot.

Listening in my car while waiting for food from local Street taco truck:)

Charlie! Welcome! What kinda tacos?

I sent an email to manager@prb, @MrM.

I'm getting a burrito al pastor

Mmmmmm.... sounds awesome!

I didn’t know where that would go, Christine. Plus my anonymity. 😇

May I call you M∆L?

ARCWELDER! fuck yes! I didn't know anyone else still remembered that mighty little band.

Nope MaWa

commie francis chat had same situation Saturday because she entered wrong end time Yes very good deduction mrM :)

Fair enough.

MrM or MrMalcontent if you’re nasty

Pete, I saw Arcwelder play at Maxwell's with like, six other people during a blizzard. They were great! (And for fairly poular at PRB in their day.)

Best Janet Jackson zinger since Killdozer, MrM.

Hahaha

Arcwelder were playing the occasional show as recently as 2017.

I saw them with Flour at 930 in 92 and then many years later in Duluth Minnesota. So great

No, you sound awesome

Where was Arcwelder from? Someplace cold, right?

I’ve been using Spinitron for bags of time before WPRB. That’s how I earned “#1 Spinitron Influencer” title. It wasn’t something I made up despite the tmz report.

Acid Dad! 💙

Arcwelder are from Minneapolis.

Congratulations, @MrM 👑 💀

Acid Dad are growing on me.😊

Have been to Mpls for a radio conference. Totally cold. I talked to a computer in a parking garage.

I always think any radio/DJ conference would take place in Ibiza.

@Mike, I sat on a plane for five hours en route to Phoenix one time😫

... in Minneapolis.

You may have had the better experience.

Watching the plane being de-iced was a gas.

R.I.P. Marvin Lee A day.

*Aday

Awww, MEATLOAF 💟

Plant-based Meatloaf 🌱

Impossible Meatloaf

BEYOND MEATLOAF

Banana bread

Ha!

@Ambrose wins.

Toafloaf

@christine haha he was great in RHPS :)

HIT IT

@Mark, true.

First American rock band I ever saw in The Ulster Hall, Belfast.

But we *want* the NYT to have referred to Meatloaf as Mr. Loaf.

the gif up top is great 70s nostalgia too : over the edge

What movie is that .GIF from, I wonder?

Friends and Accomplices and 1 Malcontent 💀

Christine, it's from "Over the Edge" -- 70s teensploitation classic. Early Matt Dillon. Recommended!

movie is over the edge Matt Dillons debut it’s a must see

Good-hearted Weirdos, UNITE!

kurt cobaine said it was his favorite movie & has great 70s soundtrack to it

@Mike, thank you. I've never seen that movie. A glaring gap in my cultural education.

Featuring the immortal line: "A kid who tells on another kid... is a DEAD kid."

Yikes. And TRUE 😈👻

Thumbs up on Over the Edge! Sorry I'm late...was listening to Reagan Youth in the car with my kid (his excellent choice).

that’s a lot of SUSANS, yo

Three Susans, originally

too many

L0LZ

I think they were down to one Susan by the end, though. Respect for sticking with the name.

Jimbeaux, nice!

What is that gif LOL

That’s you first out the door @AndrewT

Scroll down, Andrew! All shall be revealed.

That gif was my high school Wed night "study group"

This Threshold Houseboys record is kinda blowin' my mind, by the way. I think Deidre Dionysiac played it earlier today... It's Peter "Sleazy" Christophersen's post-COIL band.

Ooohhhh!

@jimbeaux LOL don’t let your kid know :)

Grandpa Gristle, RIP.

Aye.

@mark ha...tryin!

This ending. 💯

that was a great selection 🎵🎶

among all these great selections!!

Great show so far by the way. Jon if you're still in chat, thanks for the show! Got too caught up in Stuff to say "thanks" earlier

I am around and you are welcome!

>:)

1986❣️

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Lord of Darkness FFS!

this playlist has erythang!

Watch that gif for the rest of the song

I first saw Black Sabbath in 1971. Yes, I'm as old as dirt.

And pretend that "Goodbye to Romance" isn't on this record.

what is happening in that upstairs window!?!

If any of you are using an iPhone or iPad, apparently there's an emergency software security update. - https://gizmodo.com/ios-15-3-update-iphone-ipad-safari-security-bug-fix-1848427560

Heavvvvy pettting

Jimbeux, I thought you said that was "studying"?

@Jon, thank you for the tip!

Physiology?

OMG, we played the 45 of this to death as kids. One hit wonder?

Andy, he died last week!

Assuming you're talking about R. Dean Taylor and not Ozzy.

Oh bummer. Lot's of recent musical obits recently.

Ozzy the gorilla.

wow!! Didn’t hear that he died :(

I'm so sad, love this song.😭

The Fall covered an R. Dean Taylor song. I forget the title.

Wow! Would love to hear that.

This was one of those WFIL "AM Hits" LPs we also played.

Marcus & Mike, it's called There's a Ghost In My House

Nice!

This was on Motown?!?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0bZofM6EOU

Dr Donald D Rose years.

agreed on this hit great 45

Link to the video. The R Dean Taylor song, from 1967 I think, was a top 10-ish hit in the UK in 1974

take me away from all this deeaatthhh

hey y’all

A Ghost in .

@Mr.M💀Too late for you!👀

@Jon, thanks for the iPhone update link. We're updating our phones right now

Oh yea oopsie

A Ghost in My House is The Fall song of Taylor's.

what’s the half song though

I once had a skull roll on top of my feet.

GREAT BIG HAIRDOS!

Golf Ball Head!

Give us all the deets, Ambrose Hughes!

Here's a link to Taylor's original There's A Ghost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG700BojpH0

golly boy heck

Maybe, hairDON’Ts ‼️

Mark Edward Smith (5 March 1957 – 24 January 2018) -- death anniversary this past week

GBH = Great Blue Heron, for birdwatchers

@Mr.M💀It goes back to my grave digging days of yore.

Dang, Ambrose Hughes. That’s one deet.

@Chris, that's right. 4 years ago Monday. R.I.P. Mark E Smith :-(

Was there a spine and etc or wtf???

@Mr.M💀spineless he/she was.

Oh. Ha.

@Mr.M💀my late father was the Parish Grave Digger for many years, I had to pitch in and help out when um ...there were multiple deaths.

just looked up exums backstory really interesting

Hearts is my favorite. I own Wild weed.

Wow, Ambrose Hughes. I appreciate those deets! Cheers to you!

@Mike, got any Kid 'Congo' Powers?

@ Ambrose did said skull bear any resemblance to a certain chatter ? :)

@Mr.M💀no sweat, thanks!

it wouldn't be wrong to play gun club every week

CHRIST I HAVENT RUNFOMR COPS IN SOOOOOO LONG HEAVY SIGH

oops caps lock

STOP YELLING!

@Mark, whatever skull do you speaker?😜

actually i think that statement needed to be yelle d

sooo what is predictive entropy

haha:)

Was this skull beautiful and wearing sunglasses 💀 🕶

Hey Rachel, Space Cowboy and other just-joined pitcrew members!

@Marc, Wildweed is a terminal fave. "From Temptation to You" is one of the most beautiful songs ever.

@Mark, yeah, Exum's backstory is BONKERZ!

True, Mike

@Mr.M💀😆

Someone (not me!) scanned the whole Gun Club box for Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/release/21845221-The-Gun-Club-Preaching-The-Blues

(And yes, I put the pin on my jacket.)

@Chris, there'll be some Fall before we get outta here in honor of MES.

Gun Club singles box quite expensive.

So goooooooooooood <3

Marcus, yes, but way cheaper than what the orginals would go for at this point. The Starlite Lounge jukebox is gonna be BUMPIN' with all of these soon.

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/may/13/satanic-bikers-time-portals-and-the-fall-the-story-of-mark-e-smiths-secret-screenplay

think the movie ever gets made ?

Me to Cry 😭

Good one, MrM.

Thank you for all the Gun Club tracks

Right on, Charles!

They really are in bar band mode on this track, and yet somehow, it doesn't suck at all.

Cheers, Marcus Watt!

Saw them on the Mother Juno tour at City Gardens! Jeffrey Lee was in great form that night

I want to go to this bar

Oh, nice! Wish I'd been there...

SO MUCH HOODOO

Let's play six Degrees of Patricia Morrison...

And Debbie Harry guest vocals on a track under a pseudonym!

DJ MikeLupica, thanks for sharing from THE GUN CLUB Box Set with us!

Book 'em Dano!

Murder One!

Saw this AMAZING FRIGGIN' band at The Black Cat on their first tour of the States, what a thrill!

And now, the revelation of the week: This incredible song from Scott Thompson's (Kids in the Hall) 1980s queerpunk band. Full LP on Captured Tracks coming soon!

Kids In The Hall ❤️

Scott Thompson is my favorite KITH. Who's yours?

Bellini.

this is fantastic

I don’t think I could pick one.

favorite KITH: mark mckinney crushing heads :)

(Note that there are no wrong answers to this question.)

🤏

BUT IF I WERE A RANKING SORT OF FELLOW: Scott, Bruce, Kevin, Mark, Dave.

Dave is last?!

Hmmmm

is the series still shown / streaming ?

New episodes on Netflix... did this ever happen? Heard about it a while back, but never followed up.

@Chris Mohr, you still out there? This one's for YOU.

Billy Nomates liked my tweet this week and my heart skipped a beat! ❤️

is this the late night space out portion of the show

Ha! Perhaps a bit premature? Don't worry, next track will snap the BATH BOY-adjacent crowd to attention.

here for this here for this here for this

Yes yes yes no no no NO TREND!

The world can't end if this song is playing on the radio.

Summon DJ Pat! (I think)

I'll bet Rob went to bed.

This is critical DC.

Fifty shades of angst boiled down.

@jimbeaux didn’t clamour club have a mandatory no trend daily play :)

don’t turn around, ooh uh oh... (zwei, drei) Der Kommissar’s in town ooh uh ~~ohhhh, Tainted Love... ooh oh ooh woah, Tainted Love

WHAT!?!

Yesh, Pat played No Trend every show for a long time

wait wha is it ??

BATH BOY ❤️‍🔥

To quote the Frogs: "It's Only Right and Natural"

it s - it the song of the clean and bathed youthful indiviudal

Actually, that reminds me: I haven't played the Frogs in a long time. Gotta fix that.

some day an all bath boy show

Cleanest lyrics currently on radio.

Playing "Bath Boy" is sort of like the WPRB equivalent of "Hello Cleveland! How you all doing tonight? Are you ready to rock and roll?"

Great night for a hot bath 🔥

Let’s Go, WEIRDOS!!

i heard it took weeks of meditation and fasting to come up with these lyrics

Oh, there’s one!

Damn, I just missed it! LONG LIVE BATH BOY

Hi, DJ SelectaJerry!

Scrub a dub dub

GLEN CAMPBELL ❤️

jimmy webb 💕

BRINGETH THE TWANG

This song was on the tape that came with my dad's Oldsmobile. Tapes were new then.

‘Wichita Lineman’ 💚

@Rachel, yes, and they were (apparently) GREAT.

I think it;s the Glen Campbell video for "Rhitestone Cowboy" where he's riding a horse... that he clearly has no experience riding.

Rhinsetone, rather.

Louuuuuuu 💜

Glen Campbell like Lou Reed was a rather underrated guitar player right to the end.

Is this not the correct key for him or am I Don Rickles??? 🤔

this the copyright related release ?

You are Don Rickles.

Oh.

Mark, yar.

@-ᎷяM - Lou Reed has his very own key. :)

😳

I heart LOU REED tho so u kno yo

Great show tonight. I feel lucky to live where I can listen to quality nonstreaming radio. 🥨

this nice tune

Thanks Pete! Don't be a stranger, we do this every Wednesday!

❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️Chet Baker ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

His music heals.

Damn it!! Final Seven Mins?! I’m cry 😭

Have you all seen the movie Way Too Blue?

@Bo, no, do you recommend?

@Christine, yes!

Third Man Records 💛

@Christine, I hope I got the title correct.

@Christine, the Chet Baker story, you'll figure it out.

thanks for the fun show & chat :)

Goodnight, pitcrew! You're the best!
