Hey-o

Good morning!

Welcome to the party

Heya Jen. Bagpipers are tilting their noggins.

Aural caffeine.

Hi there!

I usually like to listen to RR when I'm actually driving

Ola, I just made a pot. Hope yours is fill as well.

Wound comp is excellent. Just picked it up from Carbon myself

Hey everyone. We’re all here. It’s Friday, we made it.

Mooooore coffee! Stevie, nice to see you!

Nice, fr1day! That comp is cool a.

Coool, as they say

Did you hear my interview with Carbon Records/Pengo a while back?

I did yeah! Admit I haven’t gotten around to checking out Pengo much yet though.

Awesome! I learned to love Carbon in that direction.

That's a diverse line-up, if

I got this cool drone LP from Anla Courtis which led me to Reynols who happened to have material on Carbon that I found when I was getting the Double Wig album. All of which are awesome.

The paths we take

Swell Selections! I’m still celebrating the Birthday of DJ JenRedlights! 🎉🎂🎁 CHEERS!

ok I only missed the first set. stupid meetings.

Fr1day, that’s awesome! I dig Reynolds’s as well! And double wig?

I mean, double wig!

Aw thanks, MrM!

Happy Birthday!

Whoa wait happy birthday

Thanks, guys! It was a great weekend. :)

Happy Birthday Jen

Hi Jay! Thank you so much!

absolutely love this song!!

Woooooo! Awesome!

it was in my top ten most played songs of 2022

It's Somebody's Birthday should have given it away.

Hahaha I forgot to play it last week ;)

Hey Colin, I think your bassist was one of my students.

Jen, everything you're playing today is giving me a sense of deja vu, like it's remin

...like it's sounding like something else I can't quite place.

Ha is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Good, just frustrating that my memory is so clouded today.

Not a parrothead but is this channeling Jimmy Buffet?

for crying out loud

Sounds like Cover of the Rolling Stone to me

I'm in the state of confusion

Forget it, Mike. It's PRBtown.

WPRBonkersville 🙃

MrM, shouldn't you be putting yourself in a container of rice to dry out?

toomorrow

On first sight thought you wrote PBRtown.

Used to listen to David Johansen's show on satellite. Good mix. He's got toes in many pools. Showed up in Jim White's Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus film playing some folky country stuff. Good flick

Dalek!

Hi, Dan!

Mike, that would be Trenton

Hahahah

I loved the Wawa radio adds that used Hot Hot Hot (if that's the song's name)..."we git the ice, the gatorade, when it's hit, we're in the shade"

got, hot, ph rot!

Now this is poking my subconscious, slightly reminiscent of Mars Volta, but what else, can't figure out consciously. Today's show is resonant

Hollywood, Florida

Ha! In honor of my grandma, who used to live there…

Hi Mike T, I'm curious about this bassist thing, it's not often i'm not the bassist.

Changes the whole song for me 🤣

Margaritaville resort swallowed that town in FLA last time I saw it. Used to go for an afternoon or evening if we were down in that state on vacay. Sketch last time.

Eeep! Grandmom would be pissed off.

Glad I posted after hesitation 🤪😇

Hahahahah

This is evocative of AC/DC

It’s sooooooooo ac/dc! End to end

sorry Colin, I saw that you're in Loafers and I thought Nic was your bassist.

This guy is a nut - every album sounds a little different

Loafass. Damn autocirrect.

loafass

Dr Nic! spent last night with the guy. he's doing great

Was a cool little spot it seemed. My wife's fam liked it too back when. We did find a nice little spot for a beer n seafood right on the boardwalk. Was our last stop before the airport for the plane home. Get a few more hours of sun in.. don't know when we'll head back to that state. I see Trenton to Ft Laud flights like $30 one day now ha

still waiting for my prize for guessing correctly yesterday

brian, flying out of trenton to east coast airports has been my go to lately, so cheap.

Yup TTN rules

Glad to hear that. He's a good guy.

40 bucks to get to Trenton 30 to leave. A bargin no matter how you slice it for me.

teehee@roffle

lol, roffle. also mmm slices...

i liked that whimm

That was a ton of music packed onto only 60 minutes.

A beer and a slice. Heaven!

Chentn is the universe of slices... many great pizza options

tren'in

Heroes n Villains comp scores again back there!

Yes, Mike! More to come!

That Heroes comp is rad

And so is Moving Targets, which ways makes me drive faster

Always….

Jen, hearing Eastern Dark as I got in the car and Moving Targets as I walked in the door of my home is almost unfair.

Well, I was trying to summon you, of course. Glad it worked! Hi!

I so rarely get to listen to the entire show (indulging my free time today) that I don't get to "feel" the scope of these cherished Friday morning shows.

Aw Mike, so awesome that you can hang out today!

In between, the last of the donor premiums from the Membership Drive were dropped off at the shipping depot so hopefully they'll all be in everyone's hands sooner than expected!!

SABBATH!

@ Jen Redlights (host) & Jon Solomon Hey, where can I get cool band names like "Alien Nosejob," "The Desperate Bicycles" or "Pianos Become the Teeth"? I'd prefer to get one locally but I guess I'll order from Amazon if I absolutely have to ...

Jon, I can’t wait for my goodies! Brian, 🤘🏻

Clever band names = wacky party games

Thanks Jen....2023 is starting so morsels, I've been worrying about Ozzy's health *or lack of it).

Or for the records? Bandcamp and your local shoppe to start, certainly!

Richard, I have a bunch of spare free band names lying around. Can do a local drop off.

I have no clever names but a LOT of horrible ones

morosely

Mike, it’s not looking good, but let’s hope

I so forgot how much I love the riff of this song.

Then add to that the phrase allegedly uttered by Lou Reed about recording preferences: Cymbals Eat Guitars. Used well as a band name

Roffle, me too! Decided about a minute ago that this is actually my fave Sabbath song

@ Jon Solomon Thanks for the band name dropoff offer, but I'd prefer a very discrete mailing in a plain brown envelope ... IF it would fit ... ;-))

Back in the 00s some band should have used The Plural Nouns. Or any decade. But there were quite a bunch of The ___s back about 20 yrs ago especially in the glut of garage revival

Fade to Geeze..

@ Jen Redlights (host) Jon Solomon GREAT NEWS! I received my WPRB donation goodies yesterday. I have the amazing beer bottle opener (and I don't even drink!) and the astonishing doleful-basset-hound-with-2-slices-of-pizza sticker! For joy!

Richard, your new band is actually named Discrete Envelope!

HAHAHAHAHA

Incredible news. You're the first to confirm receiving a package, Richard. I use my bottle opener for Topo Chico.

YESSS, Richard!

I've been looking at every surface everywhere for the perfect place to apply my pizza dog sticker.

It's a tough choice between Cymbals Eat Guitars and Discreet Envelope, but my unintentional creativity (the best kind, eh?) wins out -- If I ever kick my bluegrass habit and start a garage band, it's definitely gonna be Discrete Envelope! :-))

i would love to say hello

and HAPPY FRIDAY Y'ALL

I love that you're saying hello! happy Friday!

thanks for swinging by!

Jen, your voice and the set break song give me that good 'ole weekend feeling.. thank you

that is such a wonderful thing to say! cheers to you and the weekend!

Psyched about the quick shipping turn-around. Did anyone receive a t-shirt yet?

hey jen!

I just got mine!

I will be on a mission from God when the stickers land. Philly is getting a minor make-over. :)

hi Andrew!

love the sticker takeover! I have started where I live by covering the wiring box outside my house as well as my trash cans with WPRB and rock stickers. Marking my territory.

Jen, did you see there's a Sludgeworth reissue with unreleased material? You're one of an exclusive group of friends I need to share this news with.

Stevie P, you got a shirt?

whoa, no, I did not! thanks for the tip!!

The previously unreleased song in this "lyric video" is pretty good! I might be in the video but it is hard to tell all the people with backwards baseball caps on apart...

https://thatsgoodenoughforme.com/34875/

ahhhhh! I'm so excited about this!

Jon, I got a shirt, bottle opener and a pizzadawg sticker

life is good

Incredible, Stevie. That's our first shirt delivery confirmation which means the depot shipped more than just the bottle opener packs.

Stevie....he's IN THE HOUSE

sorry, had bad horror films on the brain

This one always sounds cheery, but I don't know what the lyrics mean, probably something dreadful.

Mike, I was thinking the same.

In a world where radio is a wasteland with sharp pointed teeth...

Can't wait to order the non-twistoff pops just to show off. :)

same here

i'm going to run a few redlights on my way to buy beer

Going to knock over our piggy bank so I can pick up change to this one.

K RECORDS❣️

Sounding great, Jen!🚦🚥 That new Alien Nosejob album is always grabbing my ear when it's played.

...weary ears search for an island of tranquility, an oasis rich with Molly Debnum, Titania Um and oher metals heay

This Lync record is in dire need of a reissue.

it's so shockingly wonderful. hi, Christine!

DJ JenRedlights! Another TopNotch Show! Many thanks and kind regards to you! 💎🎵🎶

Coldcock!!

Oh God, how I have enjoyed the show today! Thank you so much. What's say we all do this again?

hell yes, I'm in!

👋✌️🤞🤙🤘👆👉👌🤭

If the 80's are back, I'd be a kid again!

Where’d I get all these hands?!?

That two hours went by way too fast. Thanks Jen. Viva La Domination! Sticker the land!

1880’s???

American Jangle Underground!! The Chooglin Underground

Oh My Darlin Clementine top of the pops

Thanks, Jen!

Happy Friday Jen and All!

STICKER-EM! Jangle 'em! thanks for being here, all of you!

Cheers to all the Dears, especially those with Big Ears!

I'll sticker em, and open their bottles

Book'em!

Built it and they will sticker!

bottle it and they will open

thanks for the great show!

Oh no.
