My kid took this picture for her school photography club.
My first thought was "Wow, that's great! It almost looks like blood vessels."
My second thought was: "Is this a good time to talk about Norwegian Black Metal with a 13 year old?"

Refresh this page to see the most recently played songs. All are welcome to join the rest of WPRB's Wednesday Night Pit Crew in the chat. Everyone's cool there. Lots of crackin' wise, but no haters.

Social media is a black hole of bullshit and I've been much happier since I deleted Instagram, Twitter, etc. I've been finding Mastodon a totally refreshing change and encourage you to give it a shot. No ads, no algorithms, and no racist chowderheads. (I mean, I assume they're around, but Mastodon's policies are far more progressive than the "both sides" horseshit that Musk, Zuck, and their ilk insist upon, so they get booted pretty quickly.) Overall, I've found a diverse community of cool folks there who are interested in learning about and supporting one another's creative endeavors. I use the platform to talk about WPRB and community radio in general, but a lot of other things as well. You can find and follow me with this link.

But enough about that. Lots of great new records in the bins tonight. Thanks for hangin' out, we're here until 11 PM.

Good evening, friends. Thanks for swinging through the doors of the Starlite Lounge.

SAY HELLO in the chat.
SHOUT into the void, as if to tempt the wrath of some unseen god or deity.

It's a delight to be here. Let's flip off the workweek for a few hours.

Greetings, Wednesday night pitcrew. Please enjoy the chicken gif, and if you are so inclined, try to ID what movie it comes from in the chat.

Unrelated: WPRB needs help completing its Barge studio project. We're not asking for money, but we do have a wishlist for items which will help us set sail in steady waters. Best of all, we'll give you naming right to any items you donate, and can also issue a receipt for your tax-deductible donation of material goods. Click here for more info.

Pictured: Yours truly, in my first (and so far only) appearance... in a pamphlet, circa 1999. If I remember correctly, this brochure (and many others like it) was distributed throughout New York state public school districts, probably for use in high school guidance counselor's offices. The photo was 100% staged, but that really is WPRB's old studio in Holder Hall you see in the background, buttressed by an impressive wall of carts.

Also: Nice 90s hair, dork. Wish I still had that Fluid t-shirt.

RIP Tom Verlaine. We'll play a few songs from his catalog in a bit.

Welcome back, Pitcrew. I'm happy to report that we've got a bunch of new records in the bullpen tonight, so refresh this page to stay up to speed on the currently-playing track, and be sure to drop into the chat to say hello. Dancing solo with drink in hand also encouraged.

Find me on Mastodon here.

What's up, Wednesday Night Pitcrew. This evening, I address you in puddle/zombie form, thanks to a server at our transmitter site that went kaplooey and took down our webstreams along with our ability to air live broadcasts until earlier this afternoon. Although the problem is now fixed, the fact that this outage occurred during a week when the staff is down to skeleton crew levels means that I've had only the faintest whiff of sleep since Tuesday. Did I mention we've also been killing ourselves to get all of the Fall membership drive packages into the mail for all y'all? Well, that too.

As such, since I've had zero time to investigate any of Britain's latest hitmakers (in the metaphysical sense), most of tonight's selections are of the moldy oldie variety, yanked haphazardly from my large and unspectacular vinyl collection. We'll get back to the business of spinning new sounds next week, but between the tech woes, the frantic packing and shipping, my hosting of the New Music Hour this past Monday, and running the chat on last night's rebroadcast of my show from last week, I need a night of mercy.

But fear not! All of tonight's thoroughly road-tested selections are also 100% Guaranteed and Wednesday Night Pitcrew Approved! So say hello in the chat and please go easy on my because I am literally propping my eyelids open with toothpicks at this point.

This is a rebroadcast of last Wednesday's edition of the Freeform Pathogen. Our streams are still down, but the chat is OPEN.

Surprise! What's up, Monday drivetime crowd? I'm delighted to be filling in for this week's edition of WPRB's New Music Hour.

I've got tons of great new releases lined up for tonight's show. Since we have only a limited amount of time together, my plan will be to dispense with the chatter and just stick to what matters which is (of course) the spinning of platters. Say hello in the chat!

Good evening, and welcome back Wednesday night pitcrew!
