Hello, DJ JenRedlights! Off to a great start! Hi, DJ JonSolomon!

MrM

MrSleepy

Still in bed! Wooooo!

🛎 let's ring the pledge bell!

YARD ACT 💟

BAM!

23!

Jen n Jon off to a great start!

yard act last night was a BLAST

22!

I may or may not have been called a yard act myself!

[This comment has been yardacted from the record]

we are off to a great start! yardacted!

I ran out of time for Shame on Wednesday so nice to hear.

Oh man.

i was called a Yard Dog by a previous employer

Channeling you, Jon

W.P.R.B. CLASS. IC. HERE!

Stevie, no! at least junkyard dog? some songs in there, perhaps

Yeah, this got me right in the .

D for Donor!!

Donate til you levitate!

Do we get to clap when a pledge is made

i encourage it!

Jen, I was responsible for loading trucks at a lumber yard.

This show has me doing jumping jacks.

I've been called worse. Most recently by Mr.M

😝🤣😎

21!

YESSSSS people!

I've listened to this record probably 20x and counting!

and it's discovery was a direct result of running redlights!

How are our levels?

Both DJs sound great! In same room??

mic levels are pretty even and clear on my end

We're all from Australia today!

Need ECHO echo from each DJ please! Thanks!

C'mon!

what a realistic bell sound!

that was chappie

Ha... MrM remember the Dylan W.O.A. where he drenched his voice in distortion and we begged him to do it again & again?

sounded more like a buzzer

Dylan had the reverb up to 1100...

Oh that’s right, Brian D! Hahaha! Weirdo Ol America!

Thank you, Chef!

you guys are amazing. let's keep up this momentum!

And the time that Dylan was arguing with a bird 'SHUT UP! STOP IT! " HAHAHA

18!

Dylan is a treasure, and he probably doesn't even know it.

@jon Thank YOU for reminding me what word I was looking for - "earmarked"! Enjoy the gumbo!

I'm soaking in it!

💅

And @MalContent - I'm glad the mystery is real! Same room or not same room ....

Perhaps that will be revealed at show's end.

Dylan on Saturdays 2 years ago or so has the win for prank... i wake up and hear static on the fm. Tried other radios. Tried online. All static. I turn into "Ben Stern" and email the station.. "Hello i am hearing static etc".. then.. i look at the playlist finally . And... see... "23 Minutes of White Noise". Well played. Well played.

Perhaps not!

... proppah modulation...

And then there's the Monster Mash on repeat show. Gonna miss him

THIS RIGHT HERE! THE ROCK!

Good afternoon! I'm ready to do some shredding. And listen to WPRB at the same time.

post-taxes shredding, or like, SHREDDING?

Yes

DJ DylanFox needs to return as community member DJ after graduation! Already set up for remote broadcasting from anywhere in Weird America, Olé!

Mozzarella? Cheddar ?

Yes

donating makes Rob very agreeable!

sounds like a plan!

Wheat?

What?

Is that what you're shredding?

17!

Jen, yes

Brian D, yes

Hi 5-Oh yeah

Jon, no

Shredded Wheat 🤣🤣🤣

I haven't eaten shredded wheat in a while. I wonder if I can convert my paper shredder to shred wheat 🤣

🥣 🌾 🌾

One way to find out!

Mr M, exactly!

Jon, yes!

Shredding videos of metal and hard rock bands with the sound turned off and audio replaced by purposefully "bad" playing & singing & small 1 person crowd noise?

Birdman! Whew. That is another wprb classic!

These tracks are raising the temp 🌡

I have the vividest memory of sitting in my grandparents' living room age 14 or so and putting on radios appear on headphones

Brian D, are the videos Betamax or VHS?

And aloha Steve and Danno is the first song

Commie, did your grandparents ever listen to that album?

They are all on the you tubeees Rob Md

Ha no i bought it on a trip to visit them

Although on the other side my grandpa had a Fugs album

Oh well

Unless... Yngwie got them taken down again ha

Cool other grandpa

👏👏👏👏👏 Christine! 🍳

My grandparents specifically requested i use headphones

WhatDaFug g-Pa?

🛎 ALL the bells!

Forget your perfect offering

My uncle had the Fugs on lp. And 500 or more others....

What a cool uncle

Five Hundred?

So jealous

Brian D, cool uncle!

LMAO

count me in for loving the amount of talking on WPRB

hahah thanks, chef!

Zxaq

Excellent mic break, DJ JenRedlights and DJ JonSolomon!! Cheers!!

Karp split. Get the …

16, 15, 14, 13, 12!

@DubNP, one of the best records ever

thanks, Mr Mal!

For real.

Miss the grease shows.

BTW, thank you for reminding me @Jen. Public Body's new-ish single from January: Reset My Password. Very catchy. The EP is Flavor of Labour.

11!

Ya uncle had big record collection! Great stereo system. I filled many a blank cassette tape up there!

SWEET 💛

Let's goooooooooooooo.

Sweet!!!

Dude!

READY! SWEEEEEEEEET! (with or without the definite article...)

DANCE PARTY!

‘Ballroom Blitz’ ❤️‍🔥

🔥🔥🔥

Again songs that stop and give it to the vocals and drums = the shizz

Alexa, play ‘Ballroom Blitz’ again!

😜🤩🖤💀

Alexa, my ENTIRE BALLROOM IS A MICROPHONE

Ha!

Y ahora Lisasinson. Otro grupo fabuloso

My grandmother used to have a "fixed-tune" radio that would only play B101 (or, as it was at the time, EAZY 101). You can find em on ebay. I hereby request that the next drive includes a raffle for a funky handmade fixed-tune WPRB radio

This song is great! New to my ears.

Rye Coalition song title wins: Chariots on Fire. Communication Breakdance. ZZ Topless. Between an I-ROC and a Hard Place. Break Wind and Fire. F-ing with Beautiful Posture. Paradise By the Marlboro Light.

hahhaha they are outstanding on titles. Karp though gives them a run for their money though.

@Brian, who created those? So clever.

Lisasinson BAMS righteously

Rye Coalition created those song titles

10!

Fun timez, Brian D! Thanks for sharing!

I learned about them from... guess where? JERZ!

The Champs have a similarly great song title - Vangelis Again.

I leaned about them from wprb

ha!

DJ JenRedlights is always sharing GEMS!! Many thanks!

I have no advance notice of the songs being played today so this is a thorough thrill.

This is a BAM here

me either! winging it! ;)

We're all the dark, in suspense 🔮 Only Jen knows!

...maybe Jen doesn't even know what's next!

The song berries just fall into yer hands

"BAMM"?

EXCLAMATO POINTS!!

Spain is kicking it these days yep

Would those be muddy-ass CLAMMS, Chef?

WPRB feels like a cool friend who recommends to you cool music

@Christine nice callback, BAM! (also yes)

🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Chef, priceless pledge comment! 💯

All caps, top n tails, ascot, chaps, spats...

Urinal. I'm a Lemmeno-P

still here, still demanding dischord

yesssssss

Timing!

Factorial! I've got a feeling!

FACTORIAL FTW!!!!

To reset the stage, we've got 51 minutes and are nine pledges away.

omg i just started listening after getting out of the car and SOULSIDE

I was summoning Factorial and Commie, and it WORKED!

Very clear dual DJ audio with almost zero buffered glitchy-ness with banter! Tip of the hat 🎩 to you two! 💀

this 7" i got at schoolkids records in chapel hill i believe. somewhere in chapel hill

DISCHORD 💝

it's my bat signal

Thanks, Mr. M. We did a bunch of tests beforehand to make sure. Glad it is paying off.

Success!!

Share info with all DJs! Please and thank you!

Well played Jen!

yes means yes!

NoMeansNo‼️

I fell asleep on the couch and just woke up and Nomeansno.

NMN!!!

GANG'S ALL HERE

And I SUMMONED MIKE LUPICA

I’m more Dead

i warned of all hits, and this is what happens

DELIGHT AND AMAZEMENT

good ol naps lupica

use these summoning powers carefully. anything from crypt records and you might call the Guy Who Stole Your Bike out of the woodwork

Mike, you slept through King Face? Impressive!

There are two songs which I consistently surprise myself with an apparently unending ability to know all the words to and sing along flawlessly with. This Nomeansno song is one of them.

The other is....

"Turbo Rock" by the Meatmen.

HAHAHHAHA

i was with you for NMN

8 to go!!!!

8 pledges to go, and you've summoned two DJs. Great work, Jen and Jon!

let's see what else we can pull off!

rock!

only a few 2 go and LOTS of adrenaline

in the next set i will play the best rock and roll band of all time

😳🤯

Please go knock on your neighbors' door and remind them this is the time / hour to support WPRB at pledge.wprb.com.

lothar and the hand people?

CINDY UND BERT?!?

THIRD DJ SUMMONED.
