Let me be the first…

Let me be the second!

3rd as a charm:)

Hi, Mike, Roffle, Rob!

Yo 5th grade pit crew!

Yay for Mom

Hi eso, Roffle, richard, Mike

LUCKY!!!

Tallest point in Mercer County, yes indeed.

Yes and yes bald pate!

Hi Rob and the you rocking punks

Mike, you pronounced it correctly!

drankin n watchin

Hi Richard!

YES Stranger Things

I saw Wire tour with this. Very intense.

Wait lol I already said hi to you

Hi esoterica!

Hungry?

I need to catch up big time with stranger things

Mike, there's a new Obi Wan Kenobi Showbi out today. I would recommend viewing it ASAP (not during your show). I'll be trying to make a dent in the new Stranger Things later...

I've noticed that every season of Stranger Things is exactly the same and insanely implausible, what :(

Hi guys! Lot of people getting Hi's around here. :)

Deep fried microphones

Microphones taste good, yum yum

But I’ve heard much about the Winona obsession with Kate bush

oh wait...Air fried microphones

Hello there!

ROCK

Greetings pitcrew! Thanks for being here!

🤘🏻

This is some good energy right here

Regulars and newcomers (Marcus! Nate!) alike!

I was going to go to see bush tetras in Brooklyn with DJ set by Hugo burnham yet I decided to stay home. And listen to DJ Mike Lupica!

Oh I'll make you regret that, Esoterica!

Lol

Good choice.

The two-hour drive seemed like nothing when I bought the tix a month ago haha. Ever do that? Factor in impending weather and aging concert-goer.

Yes, I was external hard drive surfing this morning as evidenced by the Wire/Britney mashup.

Hard sell.

Yes!

I love TCM. Who's the young woman above the webcam?

Hi Corage Mike, Nate, Marcus abs DSM!

And

Dennis!

Hey Esoterica!

Love it when I saw Richard Thompson sing a Britney song (Oops!) because it has a renaissance ballad melody. According to RT.

This reminds me of Liz Phair meets Birdcloud and I am liking it!

Ex-Lost Sounds, DSM!

I would never bet against Richard Thompson, Esoterica.

Hi everyone! This is a fun song 🍌🍇🍈

oh wow, had to be Tennessee!

Guitar player!

Oh no, Mike! I just got a notice that Hugo Burnham now follows me on Instagram. I

Fruit solo!

I may regret this! Haha

I'm a proud fruitcake

Love this fruit tune!

Ptthh... Drew Friedman follows me!

Haha

I miss Andy Gill.

Jeanne Moreau in "Elevator to the Gallows". Good one!

Der, I meant Dean Friedman.

I got you, Mike!

Me too, Marcus.

Thanks, David.

Drew Friedman, the greatest living caricaturist (Hirschfeld and Mort Drucker are dead), is the son of writer Bruce Jay Friedman.

Agree, David... but I really did mean Dean Freidman. The guy who sings the "Ariel" song.

@esoterica I found a multi disc set of Richard Thompson’s 1000 years of popular music at PREX that has that Oops on there. It was one of one of those lucky finds in the boxed stuff section.

Wow, Dennis! What a find

This song should definitely be sung in a smoky cabaret

Great song, Mike! Btw, Steve Broughton passed away.

Agree, Danosaur!

Totally, Dano

Of the Edgar Broughton band?

Yes, Edgar’s brother. They also had a band called The Broughtons

Huh. Is Edgar still kickin'? Somewhere out there on the Interwebs is video footage of me singing an Edgar Broughton song with a karaoke band.

sorta sounds like Malkmus on guitar with Spiritualized at the beginning there

I *STILL need to listen to this haha

@DSM, this is definitely the centerpiece tune.

Wow, I am going to look for it, Mike!

I think you said Spiritualized on auto pilot if I recall correctly

I actually don’t know if Edgar is still with us?

Sounds right. It's all good, but this song was the one that grabbed me.

#shouldbeahit

N and I went marauding around the neighborhood with Simply Saucer as our soundtrack. That's some good marauding music!

Hi DJ MikeLupica! Greetings and Salutations to One and All!

Just in time.

DEPECHE MODE 💔❤️‍🩹❤️♥️❤️‍🔥

Oh, look who decided to get out of his coffin. Hi MrM!

Hi DJ Esoterica!

Hey Mr. M!

I guess the summoning spell worked

Indeed, Dano!

I love this song

Danosaur! I can still enjoy the show from my coffin!

@Jon, Depeche Mode probably less so for marauding purposes.

One way to find out!

Greetings and Salutations MrM

Rest In Peace ANDY FLETCHER 💔❤️♥️

Only 60. Jeez.

DEPECHE MODE 🖤🖤🖤

Oh wow. RIP, Andy Fletcher.

Agreed, Mr. M

Oh, Canada 🇨🇦❣️

If you want me to set up wprb.com/listenerlounge...

oh wow, I remember hearing 'listener lounge' over the airwaves, but never lounged myself

Link says… N O

Hey everyone. Wearing my PRB shirt about to hit up Mission Beach in a bit 😎

Link actually says, ohhhhhhhhh noooooooo MrM

Link is Busted

yo TAndy!

HeyDSM

You plotting to move here or can’t wait to go home, TAndy?

San Diego burritos contain french fries TAndy, be prepared

It's too dusty here MrM! My allergies are destroying me lolol

wprb.com/listenerlounge now exists!

Tha js Jon!

HAWT!!!

San Diego tacos are heavenly.

My PRB shirt was black with a cool green pattern and the call letters in enormous white letters. . Maybe Mike remember

Marcus, I still have mine too!

I love San Diego tacos.

I have a black one and a white one. I lack the rare "green shirt with white lettering" however.

Bless you, TAndy! Eat tacos, be happy 😊

TAndy, Mission Beach is a scene! Ride the roller coaster.

I'll try!

Mission Beach 💗

Driving time

Okay This JAM ❣️

*twerking*

This world didn't deserve Missy.

*making it rain*

Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

Missy Elliott in inflated puffy outfit is everything.

Wump-ba-bump-ba-bump-bump.

*doin' my thing*

CR-78 cannot not produce a hit

Hello, never expected to hear this song of Missy Queen Elliot on here!! I usually hear it on other fellow station, WDAS on Saturday nights!

WORK

You're playing all these jams just because I showed up in a chat

Ossy, we aim to confuse!

This must be the dance portion of the show

👷

Annnd I missed MissMisdemeanor for a VIP phone call. Merp. Derp.

Jungle Bros, another WDAS Saturday fave!

@Dano - Be sure to find a seat as soon as the music stops!

My wife desperately wanted this Jungle Brothers song played at our wedding. I was like, really? Not the best wedding dance song, but OK, whatever. Little did I know that she only knew the ultra-bangin' remix version which is VERY different from this one. I now like both equally, but this one maybe gets the edge for the Sly Stone sample.

I would dance to this

Nice!

@Danosaur, yes, but you've never met my relatives.

Haha! LupicaWife got it like that!

Thanks for the Acid Dad, @Mike. I was driving but I am finally home. Hey Pit Crew 👋

Hi Christine!

Yo Christine! Acid Dad is top shelf driving music.

Oh hai, Christine!

Indeed. And the other selections! Hi, MrMalcontent 💀!

lol, relatives should stick to the Hokey Pokey for sure.

Did you play The Chicken Dance instead, Mike?

I remember the short-lived Listener Lounge. Was that the one that used Rumble Talk?

Hi Dano 🦖

Apparently I want this album by SAÂDA BONAIRE❣️

@Danosaur, I think I've run this past y'all before, but my wedding was DJ'd by a WPRB DJ. CAN YOU GUESS WHICH ONE? (Note, they have not been on the air regularly for at least a year.)

MARVIN

I WIN

GOOD GUESS.

Or PAX

Sudan Archives!

But wrong.

Wrong again.

Just listened to Marvin this morning. lol

Coming to World Cafe Live on 10/11

PETHIE

SelectaJerry

Dave the Obscure

Will Constantine Jr.?

I know this. I give up.

Horsewater L0LZ

Mike Hunter and the first dance song is still going

Haha

JenRedlights

ALL WRONG.

Want a hint?

Yes 🥺

CLEAN.

YOUR.

ROOM.

With Art and Julia!

YES, BUT WHICH ONE?

Factorial

Julia?

DING! DING! DING!

I’m exhausted

Now I gotta run up that hill

Oh NOT on regularly for at least a year. Oofff. I can has good reading comprehension.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CeQgWATuRFM/

Without the clue, I would not have figured it out.

I'd never seen someone so nervous about DJ-ing a wedding before.

Yes, and you know what an ogre I am about perfect segues. <------(Joke)

@Jon, that rebus is fun. Thanks for your show; I was driving & couldn't chat. By the way, in case you or anyone in the Listener Lounge™ is interested, Tinariwen will be back in Philly on 10/1 at Underground Arts.

I’m busy that day

TINARIWEN 💟

I love a nice organ

I can't stand how cold these beaches are on the west siiiide. They're very pretty though 💙

Must have layers here, TAndy. I forgot to tell you.

Definitely bring a sweater if you're going to the beach. Gets chilly at night.

Yep I've got my hoodie!

Tickling the organ?

whats goin on in here

Fingerings on an Instrument

Hey Spike

We just saw the space station pass almost directly overhead a few minutes ago. Our skies were pretty clear.

Caressing the keys?

Ooh, cool, Rob

Listener Lounge™

Leave a comment - take a comment

this Mic Break 🤣🤣🤣

MISSY ELLIOT is 50 years young!

You gotta stop wearing gauntlets. They're so 1600's

Can’t engage in banter at this moment-about to start driving. But thought I’d leave a comment. 💖

will there be further instruction on how to get the listeners to the listener lounge?

StitchingPink!

Scroll down, Jerry!

stitching pink dropping comments like no ones business

On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue, all day long on the Listener Lounge chaise longue

If it works the way I think Jon set it up, wprb.com/listenerlounge will always go to the current playlist and (cough) chat.

chat is easier to spell though

Nice, Christine. Was Wet Leg singing about the Listener Lounge?

Fair. But ickier (for me) to say out loud.

Correct. I can do other redirects (within reason) on request. But not tonight.

@Danosaur, I think they were! They are so well-informed.

Scratching around in the chat box

Still holding out hope for wprb.damnit

Hi, DJ StitchingPink! Stay safe! Get on the radio!

i will try and run with listener lounge for now on but there will be slips I am sure

I looked into it! wprbdamn.it doesn't haven the same ring to it.

wprb.com/chat still works!

Hello, DJ SelectaJerry!

Hi, DJ JonSolomon!

And yes, hello Jerry and Pink!

Mr Malcontent what are you doing?

Hello MrM!

Drive safely, @Stitching Pink!

Nothing good 😏. How bout you, DJ SelectaJerry?

Decomposing, MrM?

Always! 💃

just got home from a little league baseball game

@Mike What are the chances of a literal listeners lounge? Ya know... Bean bag chairs, hookah, WPRBeers, and such other acoutrama?

Did our team win, DJ SelectaJerry?!?

Damn, Missy Elliott is 50? I should say now (mysteriously) that my birthday is next Wednesday and I will be turning a nice round number.

Happy week before birthday!!

yes they did and the right kid threw two innings of scoreless ball!

HeyOoo ⚾️

Are you on air on your berfday, DJ MikeLupica?!?

Yes.

Scotty!!! RIP

Fun!

So, Birthday Show next week @DJ Mike?

booooM Mike Lupica makes the hits not you

Not planning anything special but yes, I will be getting old and on the radio at the same time.

A lot of good advice in this song

Happy early birthday, Mike!

Thanks Rob!

I thought I saw an eye doctor at the north pole but I realized it was just an optical Aleutian

Zing!

Hey Mike and everyone! Testing out some fancy new earbuds and the show is sounding great!

This is a nice, breezy summer tune

Hey Dan! Here's some Gary Wilson to make your earbuds feel creepy and weird about themselves.

Cheers to DJ DanRuccia! This song directly in brainz.

Indeed, Summer and spring like Corrine Bailey Rae!

Hey Dan!

Ooofffff

Hey mike how do you cue up the records without headphones?

actually checked the video tonight lol

@Jerry, I trashpicked a cue speaker about a year ago. Lifechanging!

Linda is definitely giving creepy orders all through the stereo field.

Great Selecta, all is well. Hope you're good too!

Email me, DJ SelectaJerry

I ordered a Demonstration Tapes 2xLP set a year or so ago. One of the only expensive records I've ever bought. Worth it.

The octopus is landing after Wilbo. I bet if I start my show with Gary Wilson, his show will come to a hasty end

ACES!

DOLLY MIXTURE❣️

Please explain me the "murder weapon" part?

big storm - all the big storms coming

Have you seen the movie?

I can't take credit; I saw it on teh interwebs

Pink, not yet!

house band of the starlite lounge?

@Charlie, in so many ways! Though as I recall, it was YOU who christened this place with its name!

@Stitching Pink, I wanna see that movie. In all the multiverses!

yes, but the name seemed to bloom organically from something you said

I don’t usually tell people they have to see things buy you kinda have to see that movie. All will be explained

I'm a Michelle Yeoh

👀👀 👀👀 👀 👀

@Charlie, I think I just said "Doomsday Pantry" and you ran with it.

I have it Q'ed up. I'm a Michelle Yeoh fan and it looks interesting.

I'M A MICHELLE YEOH, TOO.

I for realz heart Michelle Yeoh

LOL, I should have played the glitch song after dropping a word. :)

All the Michelle Yeohs are CONNECTED

YEOH IS CONNECTOR

Also just watched Shang Chi. She was great in it too

We are all Michelle Yeoh. Everywhere all at once, all the time. :)

Michelle Yeoh Homeboy Cabdriving Deathstomp. (Special NJ-centric joke that only Jon Solomon will get but I think he went to bed.)

Or watching Star Wars something or other

wow 1980, was gonna guess like 2003!

I will see my room-clearing Gary Wilson song and raise you all one room-clearing Lydia Lunch track.

LYDIA LUNCH 💝

Obi Wan Zzznobi 😴

"Lydia, oh Lydia, oh, have you seen Lydia..."

zOMGzzz

you can't get rid of me that easily

You're made of sturdy stuff, Chaz!

lol Christine

Just reoriented the webcam in service of your requests. There will be a (brief) post-game show on the YouTube at 11.

Nice to see yr mug

got it...will bring the fun dip, onion dip, and the funyuns.

I love Joe Pernice's voice, which is instantly recognizable

Same here, Charlie. This song is sooooooo good.

@Jimbeaux, this angle doesn't hide the mileage.

whoa...now it doesn't feel like my vantage point is as a spider up in the corner!

Now there are some riffs

(this Aints track)

this Aints ain't not riffin'

Way to bring this program home 🎶🔥🎶🔥

@Jerry, oh I ain't done and the smart money says you are gonna be PISSED before 11 PM.

@Heck yeah, Dan!

‼️‼️

🤞 for “Scatman’s World”

What will the Selecta-angering track be?

Oh, this should anger most of you.

🧐

A killer Phish bootleg from 98?

Jammin' down to the wire! What could possibly go wrong?

@Dan, now you're just being mean.

Final Five Mins?! I’m cry
