I...smell...donors.

I heard Raat earlier....

Nothing like the smell of donors in the morning

pledge.wprb.com

Heyoo. Looks like we had a nice push this morning thanks to Marvin, John and Grady. Let's keep it goin!

Hellooo Dierdre! Hello fine listeners!

160ish to go to the 1,033 goal, right?

BOOM 💥

This TUNE courtesy of Pethie in case you were wondering...

Yeah, just about!

Oh the accents are wonderful! Get out the jump rope!

The BOOM to WPRB's BAM

Hahah! I’m all about the BOOM

Greetings and Salutations!

Here for BUNNY D & LADY TIGRA‼️

hi, dj deirdre dionysiac!

Hello, DJ Pethie!

Hey 🐰 🐯 .

Cheers to DJ DanRuccia!

Hello there!!!

Jump rope for pledges! Booms! And Bams!

L'TRIMMMMMMMMMMMM

This ain't no drill.

Nor party. Nor disco. Nor fooling around.

Nor outer spaceship.

What IS this then???

It is a happening.... ! Jon S said about 160-ish to go as of last show

Oooh a-happenin’

It is soup. It's all soup

Wprb soup for all

Glorious soup!!

What did Krista say in the chat yesterday? "We Pour Rare Broths" or something?

Also, Jon reports only 157 pledges to go!

The secret that ties it together in many soups I've made: squeeze a lemon in there. For stews/ chilis then I'd sub beer.

howdy, Deirdre, et al

It was! I've been listening today while cleaning my house for the impending descent of Moms' Klezmer Retreat. We've got 2 decent woodwinds (me on flute and my friend Lauren on clarinet) one good guitar, 2 ukuleles who know 3 chords each, and a tambourine.

Hi, DJ Esoterica!

Guten tag!

hi, mr. m!

Hello, DJ Krista! No klezmer kowbell!?!

You are full of good tips and advice, Brian

wow, krista, sounds like a great lineup for the great klezmer be-in!

DJ Esoterica, are you on the radio later today?!?

Put a bird on it! Squeeze some lemon in it!

Crack a beer with it!

👠 👞 👠 👞 ....

Mr Malcontent, I should get a cowbell. My dentist has put the kibosh on the jaw harp!!

mr. m, not today because switch in schedule, but the dynamic dup of dana k and commit francis are on 8-11 tonight! see ya tomorrow and Friday though:)

More jump rope!

forgive typos

Typos forgiven. Mad about schedule change. 🤪

hey gang

dynamic dup

Oh hello Stevie P

Hi Steviemonthlyp!

All! WPRB is down to 156 pledges away from the Membership Drive goal. Thank you for all the support so far and you can help get us to the finish line at pledge.wprb.com. Woo!

This set partially in honor of Abbie From Mars' tap dancing performance a few drives back

DJ Krista, a lyre harp for dancing and prancing!

I can only imagine the fearmongering photos of "your jaw post jaw-harp" that my old orthodontist would have shown me..

I was just coming to the playlist to see if this was a recording of Abbie From Mars cause I think I tuned in right after she finished that year

Dentists are ruining jaw harps and candy!?! 🤬😤😡

I wish I had one...I'm sure someone must have it. However she does post her music here: https://abbiefrommars.bandcamp.com/

Seems like apt obstacle course music (pre-cello, although that’s maybe when one falls into the mud)

Abbie performed in a show curated by Laurie Anderson recently! ❤️

Woah

Kind of puzzle punk? https://strategictapereserve.bandcamp.com/album/shapes-for-experts

And with Trevor Dunn of Mr. Bungle

Someone should make intentionally bad covers of Mr. Bungle songs under the name Mr. Bungled

Or, do them all in the style of the Bangles as Mr. Bangle

that could work in reverse, too, Bangles songs in the style of Mr. Bungle

LOL the gamelan sample of Fred Rzewski's "Les Moutons du Panurge" in the background of this one

Do them all as above re Bangles Bungles... but dressed as the Addams Family and call it the Pugsley Underground

Dang Dan, I hadn't even put it on the playlist yet!

dj deirdre dionysiac, looking forward to enjoying your first WPRB show from 2016 on the mixcloud! cheers!

These are the semi-useless facts that I get for all those years in grad school...

It was reaaal weird to listen to, Mr.M. I can barely recognize my voice, which sounded deeper and weirdly arrogant? Idk, I think I was just trying too hard haha

"I can name that Rzewski tune in 10 notes"

Can you name this Koko the Clown episode

@Dan 🐙 - excellent! My daughter is a Bangles fan and my husband is a Mr Bungle/Secret Chiefs 3 fan. Family collaboration!

Vapeur mauve....

@Brian D - I think if we start a Pugsley Underground fan club, we can will that band into existence

i know this song

is this

@Dan R - When my kid starts her geometry study next year, I will have to sneak up behind her and play “Shapes, for Experts”

that german guy

that's because you are cool.

zoo something?

wait no thats the name of his other song

japanese lady, idk if there's sampling going on tho? She did the music to early bomberman games and seems to get excited on twitter (or her publicist) whenever WPRB plays her music. and i love her.

OOOHHH yeah! thats crazy havnt hard this song sooo long

2019 AOTY for me (not that i give such awards)

think i remember you playing this too

° µ °

dj deirdre dionysiac, keep adding more shows! gotta hear ‘em all!

Haha, I was thinking of starting to do one old show a week, I just have to find out if there's a limit to what I can post on there without having Mixcloud Pro. Maybe I can just delete and add

I do have nearly every file junking up my computer though, have no clue what else i'll do with em

"Broadcast Profanity Delay" - ha ha... Pledge to WPRB and help make that song title obsolete!

put them on a google drive and send the link like i do

ooo, maybe i will. i used to be better at dj'ing, i've gotten too old and boring, y'all should just listen to the old ones

Put a bird on it too while you're at it

🦆

No deleting! I’m cry. Some on SoundCloud or something or other

okok

Okay. Whew.

Ha! @Brian D 🦤

That was a fun ride the last 2 wow

Where in the worlds can you hear this kind of radio?

INTERJECTIONS!

u missed a donor

liking this on first split second

.... and again... on first millisecond. Wow. Just one of those shows for the ages Deirdre and Pethie!

DEM'S LAZERS THEY ARE!

(Takes baggu to Mexico... leaves next morning... )

Make that a baggu for two

But.... finds self inside of a monolith traveling through infinite repeating colored lights... some cave people beating bones as tools...)

good song

I'm also seeing infinite lights...too much material...entering warp speed playlisting...

love and steel - was listening to this song this morning

*ann steel

My fav "optimistic dystopia" person, or something like that

Love this!

I watched Incredible Shrinking Woman last year for 1st time in 30-40 yrs. Somewhat forgotten Lily Tomlin film of the early 1980s. I forgot about the hilarious send up of commercialism angle they put in there. So much fun. The feel of some songs in this set remind me of that

😁

Ooo that synth sound!

(that song was indeed great tommie/i will reply to you i swear)

PINK EYE ON MY LEG!!! WOOOOOHOOOOO

I mean... if you're gonna go for winning synth tones.... Check out the outtake rarity and sometimes live fave " Kim Smoltz " for more of that synth Weeee oooo weee that Ween is doing in some of this

@Brian D - Pink Eye - recorded in LBI! 🐚 👁 🌊

It's all Jerz

I have returned! The child requested a cup of tea! And I am wearing a necktie. All is well! And we are so close to our goal!

Huzzah! I have requested and received cold pizza, child that i am

Update: Under 150 pledges from the Membership Drive goal!! Let the listeners know!

pledge.wprb.com

All pledges go to making sure all our chairs sound like Achim Wollscheid's

A worthy cause for sure!

Is the playlist broadcasting a cryptic message?: Hello, Little One So…brain, chair too, getting a head. Who’s falling behind? Not WPRB!

it's what my chair sounds like when i hear a good song on wprb and i hop up and down

Cold pizza is a fine choice!

Middle Age Crazy ... a sometimes funny Bruce Dern film i saw on cable back in the day when I was a pre teen. That country song was featured in it

I see it has Raspberries! I love raspberries.

@Brian D - Speaking of Bruce Dern, I saw that the Criterion Channel has The King of Marvin Gardens right now. I almost rewatched it a couple nights ago. Time capsule of a very specific era of Atlantic City, post-blight, pre-casino

I'd like to see that! Reminds me i need to watch Atlantic City again. Burt Lancaster last ride

Another 1980 film

Sarandon and those lemons…

Not Burt's last ride but 1 of the last great ones

Yes Pethie the lemons.... ya work in a seafood restaurant / casino and they help cleanse at end of a long shift. A striking scene

I liked that Bruce Dern lottery obsessed film with Will Forte. Nebraska

If you donate the music sounds better!

@Brian D - oh yeah. I forgot about Nebraska. I liked that. I will watch most things with Bruce Dern or his daughter. Any Dern’ll do.

Dern-gone-it!

@Deirdre - I like the library card renewal analogy!

Hello DJ DD -n- DJ Pethiieeeeee

Nice chonky rat boi

Mana Mana... doo doo dee doo doo

Hellooo DSM!

Would never have known it was once known as "mais non, mais non", american-speak has gummed it into "munuhmunuh"

Hey DSM!

I worked at a now defunct online vinyl records company for about 15 minutes... and... HARRY TRUMAN CALLED ME! That is a Michael Ontkean of Twin Peaks, Slap Shot, Rookies etc. He was ordering cabinets for records. Totally nice person. Retired. Did not participate in the twin peaks reunion

Someone get her some lemons....

Someone here might be able to answer this for me. Watched Wolf last night, that 94 Jack Nicholson movie. Vague ending, internet is no help. Question, was Michelle Pfeiffer a wolf from the beginning or did she get turned into one? Random ass question I know

But no, but no... I had no idea that was the French title either.

That's cool that Michael Ontkean is a vinyl nerd, always wondered why he didn't participate in the reunion

That's right, they had Harry Truman's brother . I liked how they worked round the absneces

*absences

This song is so fun

Ya i gathered he was comfortably retired. Memory serves he was having the racks shipped to his home in Hawaii. I hope he was actually able to get them. The "company" I worked for was a joke... at that point anyway. They did not actually have the product (or many other products promised) . Just middle-personning ... or middle-impersonating ha

Think i may have played this one (and the next one) on wprb more than any other song

A thick grey cloud has arrived over my house...

cloud or FAT RAT?

May-noh may-noh

It is a good omen, I think.

We have named the thick grey cloud "Damien "

Thicc Damien

i'd say phone home to 609-258-1033, but alas i am...home.

It’s all for the danged cloud!

I know they’re saying ET, but I cannot help but hear this as “eating eating eating”

lol

ET was the first movie I ever saw in a movie theater. Last year, I saw ET on the big screen for the first time since 1982 at the Mann Music Center w/ the Philadelphia Orchestra playing the score live. That was a great score to hear live

Thicc Damien is a good name for a solo musician. They make menacing clouds of sound

i've never met a skinny damien now that you mention it

Hello the chat! Love this vocal!! Great set, DD!!

Thicc Damien only plays ambient versions of Fucked Up songs

lol, accidental kpc cameo

oh wait nvm 😶

Hi readie! I cant wait to get in my car and drive on friday

Eh, DD! yeah yeah yeah!!!

Hi Readie!

i'm on the water. i'm water man

Hey, Lizbot!!!

@Dan R - 😂

@Deirdre - Thursday Readie & I will be on air 5-8 pm tomorrow for my 20th anniversary show too!
