Hey hey hey hey!

Never in my life!

Transmitter. Tower. Turntables. Seltzer. All boxes checked.

Roffle, welcome!

Hey Jon!

Hope you are well.

Life is endless wonder. Rather cool.

I tend to agree.

With this song pouring out of speakers, we know it is 5 pm Wednesday. 🔊 Hi Jon!

Hope things are good sir! Love Wednesdays!

Hi Roffle!

Christine! Let's have some fun.

Christine! Hi!

ready for biz

Somehow the universe woke me up just before the show started... Good evening everyone

She remember every birthday!!!

Like the first and the weather that day! lol

I used to have a birthday spreadsheet, pre-social media. Now any amateur can know when everyone's birthdays are.

Hello, TAndy and Brian!

This record is "name your price" on Bandcamp. Link in the playlist.

Fakebook? Everyone on there put everything out there. Totally weirdo stuff from Zuckerberg.

Okay, a band that sounds like I would love to see live. Just me.

Bandcamp updating "Terms of service". lol

Apparently tonight's dinner (being prepped presently in the other room by the kid) is Cauliflower Shawarma with Spicy Tahini Sauce. I'm certain curious (and hungry).

I missed the original EULA. Gotta get a lawyer now. shish!

Get a free $5 Bandcamp™ Credit when you play thirty minutes of Genshin Impact™ on a new account!

Gosh! Food wins every time! Ask any hunter gatherer.

Good evening everyone!

It's Billy Dee Williams' birthday today, in Star Wars-adjacent news.

Jon that sounds delicious.

Roffle, did you read the terms? I was too lazy too actually read them haha

Dinner sounds very promising, @Jon.

Christine, do you know Billie Dee's full name?

It is a very good name.

No, I don't!

William December Williams!

Hello, DSM!

@DSM - Nah, missed them too. What I do know is that I can end those accounts if and when I so chose.

How cool! Reminds me of the writer Ford Madox Ford.

It’s Marilu Henner’s birthday? The earliest thing I’ve seen her in was the premiere episode of “The Paper Chase”, which aired 3 days before the premiere episode of “Taxi”.

I think Taxi is the earlier Henner, uh, vehicle I recall. Followed perhaps by Johnny Dangerously?

@David Shortell - Marilu Henner is my very last pick for the ideal wife. But I would love her as a friend

sounds like those tubes you spin around over your head

The movie "Bloodbrothers" premiered two days after "Taxi" first aired. 'Twas an auspicious month for Henner.

Hello all!

Good evening, Addie!

Hi Addie!

Addie! Snow for you dear or has the tide changed?

Oh Roffle, I’m sitting here with the windows open this evening! It is a delight!

Sweet!

I thought we might get one more snow this season in NJ but it is looking more and more unlikely...

Yea, last week in Philly, weird bit of snow that stuck for a very short time. I'm good with that.

Blissin' out with this at the domestic empanada factory...

Jimbeaux, I tried the soy empanadas from Gingered Peach over the weekend and they were quite nice!

Wish I'd had a dipping sauce of some sort to go alongside but our neighbors dropped 3x of them off on our porch and I couldn't ask for more than Surprise Empanadas.

Nice! Building corn, soy chorizo, cheese, shroom, tomato.

That's cool. Surprise is sometimes best.

All I'm saying is there's plenty of space for empanadas on our porch, Jimbeaux.

(Yum.)

Luhv garbanzo chipotle burgers with tomato n avocado on sesame bagels. It's either that or the salmon w/TJs Aleppo sauce that comes up in the rotation seemingly every Wed

Both terrific choices.

Grabbed some good stuff on Bandcamp for 1st Fri last week... could have added so much more... that click button was itchy.

I only bought one single...and you'll hear it in this set!

Made cochinita pibil yesterday and I'll be eating that for a few more days. No complaints there

I lost a good chunk of my paycheck to Bandcamp Friday

Impressive, DSM.

I found a jackfruit brisket recipe I was considering bringing to a Passover seder the Friday after next.

Porch-panada! There's a pop-up 'panada truck in hamilton on Saturdays where Kmart used to be on Kuser. Good stuff!

Ambience on a breeze spring evening

Grasias

Jackfruit briskets up nicely from the few I've had

Hello Ossy!

@DSM, your dinner sounds really interesting.

Jackfruit brisket. Good call.

Really want to try the new Christina Martinez restaurant (Phila Mexican restaurant person of Barbacoa fame not Boss Hog person that is)

Kosher salt. You know the drill. lol

What's it called, Brian? Thanks for clarifying as I did think of Boss Hog right away!

Thanks Christine, the annatto seed, or achiote past, is the secret weapon

*paste

Did up Talula's in Asbury last Saturday and we ate 2 pizzas in heaven.... "Beekeeper's Lament" : Hot sopressatta, fresh mozz, honey mmmmm. We had that as our 1st. Told server we'll probably eat another pizza but not order it until we're 1/2 done this one. We ordered a diff type but... they brought us the Beekeeper again... no complaint. Sorry other table but... we breathed on it and we love it. It's best for all this way...

Talula's pies are legit!

Casa Mexico is Christina Martinez' new one: https://www.inquirer.com/food/cristina-martinez-south-philly-barbacoa-new-restaurant-20220405.html

That sounds like a lovely pizza for sure

We sat at the pizza bar. Great front row view of that 700 deg + oven

Asbury pizza is an interesting idea.

Oh there's 4 hr tomato sauce on that pie too... not a white pie

Slept on the floor there between gigs once. Too poor for pizza back then. :)

Speaking of food in here, Ackee and Salt fish with Jamaican fruit cake for me, at Yaad Man

Superb, Ossy.

💚💛🖤

If this isn't the song title of the night, I don't know what will top it.

Hammer, no handle.

@Ossy, that sounds fantastic.

That is a title!

Neil Young Archives tons of live shows from many diff eras in the "Timeline" series recently released.

Brian, I am considering an "all NY covers" show.

May need to seek your advice!

That would be a fun show Jon, please do!

Hey Jon, hey Chat! Such a surprise waking up the other morning to an email from Temporary Residence regarding new Nina Nastasia. Also found out she's playing some gigs with Mogwai, including one in Toronto I'm debating whether or not I can attend next week.

Brian, hey! Did you read the press release for the album? It is perhaps the heaviest one-sheet I've ever seen.

I said "JESUS!" out loud at one point while reviewing it.

Nina Nastasia is genus.

Turkish release of classic stuff looks good : Rişar & Kupa 4 – Rişar & Kupa 4

Ooh. That does look good, Brian.

@Jon yes I did, heavy read I was not expecting

Hey, Joshua! Welcome aboard.

Brian, it was intense. I knew her partner had passed but not the timeline. Sheesh. That's too much to shoulder.

New The Bismarck rips, one of my Bandcamp Friday purchases

hi friend.

(s)

Nice to see them give their songs some space. Also, less cussing throughout = more to play on the radio!

(Still a fair amount of cussing though.)

Ha was gonna say there are a couple tracks I'd really wanted to play on the radio but felt edits would interfere too much

Good evening everyone

It's Dinnertime With Jon Solomon (tm)

I got one cauliflower shawarma in, a second will follow in a bit.

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1023019-cauliflower-shawarma-with-spicy-tahini

Served with peppers and olives.

Hi guys

Hey

Dan! Mary! Hello!

this new Advance Base song just levels me

He's so good.

You're not so bad yourself.

I’m totally behind on the show, and technically am still working.

I remember hearing Advance Base on this program 2020 and / or 2021. Very cool stuff.

Mary, it is OK. Hope you're off the clock ASAP.

27 minute countdown

thanks for playing that Sweetness Follows drone, btw! i need to actually go in and update the text i realized. i referred to Maurice as SLWV instead of SNWV. plus emily doesn't go by Kaedo S anymore.

And Mephisto Halabi is a total lp cover memory from the chat/playlist from this show and or other shows

Mostly I’m sad I missed the R.E.M. cover

Hench said "now i wanna hear a slowdive snwv collaboration"

But you know what overtime is good for? Spending money at Bandcamp

Mary - here is a (freshly updated) link for the R.E.M. cover for later if you are so inclined:

https://prfmonthlytributeseries.bandcamp.com/track/sweetness-follows-neptune

We're both intrigued by this Charalambides song

Yes! Thank you, Joshua!

Plus 41 others!

Excellent

Joshua, should I update the artist title(s) in my playlist?

Same

This Charalambides track is a ride. Their first new music in a good bit.

it's wonderful

Mary - no prob! Jon - yes please (if you don't mind)

I'm on it. Hello, Francis!

I believe it has been correctly corrected.

Dinner was delicious. Glad I had more as there is now none left.

@Joshua, I searched for "Kaedo S" online and the only real hit was...Bandcamp.

Four more minutes, Mary!

yeah, the Kaedo Sevaada thing is a long story... but she decided she didn't wanna use that anymore and is sticking with emily.

still blows my mind that she was able to get emily.bandcamp.com !

when is this self-indulgent palaver going to end?

I believe that URL was what inspired me to park jonsolomon.bandcamp.com.

It has a lil' way to go, @kentman but the thrill of waiting to find out what follows is one of the thrills of radio for me.

gotta catch a little daylight before it is gone. big hugs to you Jon. XO

Catch that daylight!

Kentman, stick it out, the last 3 minutes turns into a rollicking cover version of "walk this way"

I read that as "a rickrolling cover version"

That would be a remarkable way to wrap this up.

Well now I just wish that was real.

C'mon...c'mon....c'mon...we're no strangers to love...you know the rules and so do I...

🤔

lol

You made it!

This record is also a "name your price" Bandcamp download. Additionally, it is a Christmas album. Link in the playlist.

LIFESAVAS!

YAY!

Richard, this randomly came up on Pandora the other day when I was running (jogging) and I made a note to work it into a future show...

Clearly, I need to hear more!

Hey Hi Hello

MR. M IN THE CHAT!

Swell selections, DJ JonSolomon! Cheers!

Much appreciated, you are kind to say.

Portland representing

Rose City represent.

hey more rose city here hi jon and richard and everyone!

The future was then, this is the hyperfuture.

Hi Kristin and all!

Cauliflower schwarma sounds very interesting!

My dinner is reheated fish and chips, as is the way of my ancestors.

Schwarma, I first had that in Nigeria on holiday visiting family around 2017, which was introduced sometime prior around then!

Hey, Kristin!

I WOULD LIKE TO ISSUE A CORRECTION.

I have been informed my daughter did all the cooking for dinner tonight. All Nicole did was take the olives out of the fridge.

Credit where credit is due. ⭐

Yeah, but I’m sure the olives were heavy.

BREAKING NEWS: Tomorrow I'm making a wild rice casserole I can leave in the oven while picking the chef / bracket champion up from musical rehearsal...

Ok, who’s wild rice do you use? There’s so much variety.

Mary, I'll report back in a moment.

👍

apologies to the chatbox, my brain is in just-finished-work chatty mode.

UPDATE: The rice is very old and in an unmarked container but was likely Lundberg.

This is all part of The Great Passover Pantry / Fridge Cleanout of 2022.

Keep the questions coming. No need to apologize.

Will see if I see Lundberg next time. We eat Reese at Thanksgiving, and the Near East blend rest of the year.

I’m always looking for new rice blends

Lundberg was the third guess and the only rice brand that actually exists, unless Todd Rundgren really does have a rice brand...

mary love your chatty questions - listening in portland i always love the recipe cooking talk. gets me thinking of what to make for dinner in this time zone. so many varieties of rice is true. basmati...jasmine...wild... black...brown...

@Kristin thanks! That’s nice of you! And yeah, experimenting with different rices for different dishes is a lot of fun.

Fridge Cleanout...lol Too funny. Spring cleaning!

I told Nicole I was basically just repeating all her quality material in the chat and he should join the chat. She informed me what I'm doing is more efficient because then she can clean up as she listens.

Roffle, we do a serious fridge clean once a year. It is worth it. Passover is just the excuse.

Jon, I would be remiss if I said I never repurposed Dennis’s running commentary of our home life.

Bless that endeavor! Smart science!

Hello Jon! Obits sounding good.

I'll see if I can get her a Head Writer credit.

Ambrose! Hello!

Hi Jon and all, ditto on the Obits, this is great!

good evening. love obits! saw them at Johnny Brenda's that year

i think they opened for polvo

They did indeed. I was there. Brought my neighbor!

This entire show has been Very Enjoyable!! Big thanks to DJ JonSolomon! Kind regards to you and the FamBam!

Cheers to all the Dears!

Psyched to unwind with The Freeform Pathogen at the top of the hour. Highlight of my week, these hours are.

Loved the show as always. Thanks man.

Always delighted to have you in the chat Roffle.

Thanks, love that you are here!

Wonderful show! Thank you Jon.

Wednesdays on WPRB is always a good time. Thanks, Jon!

thanks for the fun evening soundtrack, jon!

Yes indeed! Christine.

99.5!

Thanks Jon!

That’s a fever of a result!

Awesome about your daughter, Jon!

Eek

This was a great show, Jon. Better luck with your next bracket!

You wouldn’t want to waste your sports luck on 2022.

THE GENERALS WERE DUE.

TY DJ JS💥💥💥

Splendid performance Jon!

YW JB.

Thanks Jon and very sorry for your friend Brad🙏

thanks for another great show

thanks for another excellent radio program! Best to all in the chat this evening.

Thanks, Ambrose. It is rough stuff. Lotta great people I love a bunch hurting this week, glad I could share some songs and a story or two.

great show, jon. I panicked back there.

Thanks, @Kentman. Appreciate you tuning in!
