Glad i could help!

DSM 5:22:15 PM
Hmmm, coming up with nothing! But I wouldn't mind hearing "Oh! Sweet Nuthin' by Velvet Underground sometime this month

Haha DSM! Yes I have that & can play tonight! Thanks!
DSM 5:26:25 PM

Yes I do Bill! Will play tonight! Thanks!
Bill Davidson 5:32:49 PM
Thanks!
Bill Davidson 5:33:49 PM
I associate The Specials with 'PRB. I remember hearing "Ghost Town" on 'PRB a lot when it was released.
DSM 5:36:13 PM
Ah that's a good one Bill!
Bill Davidson 5:38:59 PM
(I have outed myself as an old person.)
Rob from Maryland 5:40:21 PM

KPC, thanks! I have nothing else to request at the moment
KPC (host) 5:54:38 PM

Bill Davidson 5:58:46 PM
I love this era of The Kinks. Great records.

Li Maria 6:04:39 PM
Thanks!!!
DSM 6:08:25 PM
I believe that's Jarmusch on the cover of that BJM album if I remember correctly
Christine 🦉 6:08:57 PM
This show's a whole lotta nothing, and I approve.
Bill Davidson 6:09:16 PM
Re: The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Dig this! https://youtu.be/rQGftlPBKJ0
Rob from Maryland 6:11:44 PM
KPC, would you have access to the song "L'Isola Di Niente" (the island of nothing) from the album of the same name by the Italian prog group PFM? (It's 10 1/2 minutes long though)
Dan Cochrane 6:12:13 PM
Didn’t The Roches do a “Big Nothing” song?
KPC (host) 6:14:12 PM
Hmmm....I'll look & play if there is one!
KPC (host) 6:14:36 PM
@Rob I don't have it this week, but I will get & play asap! 10 minutes or not!
Rob from Maryland 6:15:40 PM
@Dan & KPC, that Roches song is on this album https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speak_(The_Roches_album)
Rob from Maryland 6:15:54 PM
Big Nuthin'
KPC (host) 6:16:34 PM
Cool! Thank you! I will get!
Rob from Maryland 6:18:12 PM
Thanks for considering PFM, KPC
Christine 🦉 6:20:37 PM
KPC, do you have Nothing To Do by Sparks? ✨ It's from the Big Beat album.
Rob from Maryland 6:21:00 PM
One more (last?) song... One of my favorite Bangles songs, "Silent Treatment" from the album "All Over The Place", has "she said nothing" and similar lines repeated throughout the song
KPC (host) 6:21:28 PM
@Christine not this week but I will & play!
KPC (host) 6:21:45 PM
@Rob Ditto...I don't have that Bangles album but I will get
Christine 🦉 6:22:09 PM
@KPC, fantastic!
Dan Cochrane 6:22:10 PM
YouTube version on George Miller show has a Roche playing the coolest Gibson ES 335 looking body with Firebird neck, great color too.
DSM 6:24:03 PM
Woot! Thanks KPC
KPC (host) 6:24:19 PM
:)
Rob from Maryland 6:24:33 PM
Thanks again KPC. I've got one final (I promise) song, more as information than as a request. Soda Stereo's "Nada Personal" (nothing personal) from the 1985 album of the same name
KPC (host) 6:25:04 PM
Thanks Rob! I will find it & play before 12/27 at 8pm!
Dan Cochrane 6:25:28 PM
Example of why Maureen Mo Tucker’s drumming was so cool, unique. She’s not on this album at all.
KPC (host) 6:25:49 PM
Yes I was just thinking that Dan
Dan Cochrane 6:27:11 PM
There’s a live Spirit concert and their drummer has a giant bass drum tilted on it’s side, reminded me of her.
KPC (host) 6:27:42 PM
Oh cool...
KPC (host) 6:28:17 PM
I think that's one of the reasons the songs on Loaded are more traditionally constructed
Dan Cochrane 6:28:28 PM
I keep singing “Can’t ya see? Can’t ya see” what that chord progression a doin’ to me?
KPC (host) 6:28:31 PM
Also Doug playing a larger role with Lou kinda checked out.
KPC (host) 6:29:10 PM
Love the record tho
Rob from Maryland 6:29:39 PM
Wow, KPC, you're going above the call of duty!
KPC (host) 6:30:10 PM
Haha!
Rob from Maryland 6:30:53 PM
🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻
Dan Cochrane 6:31:05 PM
Could have been Marshall Mo Tucker.
KPC (host) 6:32:38 PM
Ah, anything for you guys
DubNP 6:32:48 PM
Such a good song to spin.
KPC (host) 6:33:48 PM
Love the trombone
Dan Cochrane 6:34:41 PM
At recess today, subbing 5th graders, I asked 3 of them what their #1 Christmas gift was on their list. All 3 at once said, “Candy!” Seemed a bit odd.
Andrew Gruen 6:35:25 PM
do you have Nothing Indeed by the minutemen? thanks!
KPC (host) 6:36:59 PM
Yes Andrew! I will play! Thanks!
KPC (host) 6:37:47 PM
Candy huh?

Chris Mohr 6:47:27 PM
Just catching up, has anyone asked for "Nothing" by Flipper??
Chris Mohr 6:47:51 PM
🐬🐬🐬
KPC (host) 6:48:03 PM
Not yet.
KPC (host) 6:48:22 PM
But...I don't have this tonight. But I will get & play.
Chris Mohr 6:48:41 PM
Understood, thanks, KPC!
CARLOS RAMONE 6:51:03 PM
How about “ Nothing” from Flipper. On generic flipper. ThG album
Dan Cochrane 6:51:16 PM
Dah! Billy Preston, Nothing From Nothing. The 5th Beatle (on the roof!)
CARLOS RAMONE 6:51:31 PM
That album can still clear unwanted people out of the house
KPC (host) 6:54:20 PM
@Dan oddly I don't have that Billy Preston track -- I will get & play asap.
Dan Cochrane 6:55:01 PM
Money for nothing? DS
KPC (host) 6:55:15 PM
Oh my.
KPC (host) 6:55:22 PM
Yes I have that
KPC (host) 6:55:54 PM
However...
KPC (host) 6:55:58 PM
...I cannot play.
KPC (host) 7:00:35 PM
Can't play that 'f' word anymore
KPC (host) 7:00:42 PM

Li Maria 7:00:59 PM

KPC (host) 7:01:14 PM
Yah!
KPC (host) 7:01:28 PM
Gotta have *some* funk

Christine 🦉 7:02:26 PM

CARLOS RAMONE 7:02:52 PM
Flipper? A real cheap f er like you cop out?
KPC (host) 7:03:04 PM
LOL
KPC (host) 7:03:11 PM
different f word
KPC (host) 7:03:21 PM
This is Dire Straits
Christine 🦉 7:09:21 PM
I was waiting for this one!! 💜👑
KPC (host) 7:09:28 PM
:)
Li Maria 7:11:11 PM
Love this version
KPC (host) 7:11:34 PM
Me too!!
KPC (host) 7:12:10 PM
Kicks butt
Li Maria 7:12:33 PM
Hell yeah!
Dan Cochrane 7:16:01 PM
Personally I’m against censoring lyrics, which DS did. I haven’t seen any rap, hip hop do it. Wisely.
Dan Cochrane 7:17:00 PM
Just sayin’, MF.
KPC (host) 7:18:55 PM
I can't play it on the air.
KPC (host) 7:19:29 PM
FCC regs
Chris Mohr 7:19:31 PM
Minutemen!
Andrew Gruen 7:20:02 PM
💚
Dan Cochrane 7:20:55 PM
I understand completely, I’d never challenge, dispute you.
Dan Cochrane 7:21:24 PM
Love minutemen!
Dan Cochrane 7:22:52 PM
So no WPRB hip hop show can play profanity? Talk about limitations…
KPC (host) 7:23:59 PM
Nope. Not at 7:30pm
Bill Davidson 7:24:07 PM
'PRB played a lot of hip hop in the late '80s. Played a lot of hardcore (punk), too.
KPC (host) 7:24:30 PM
After 10pm & midnight FCC rules change
Dan Cochrane 7:24:38 PM
Ahhhh, wee hours all hell (forgive me) breaks loose?
DubNP 7:24:54 PM
Show is always so good.
Dan Cochrane 7:25:18 PM
That’s what the F stands for, see, see.
KPC (host) 7:25:54 PM
LOL
Dan Cochrane 7:26:39 PM
Can you play take a walk on the wild side, prime time?
KPC (host) 7:27:25 PM
Valid question
Dan Cochrane 7:28:11 PM
Let’s address something else entirely!? Thank you for NOT playing Christmas music, especially god forbid Christmas Rock.
KPC (host) 7:28:34 PM
LOL No problem.
Dan Cochrane 7:28:42 PM
I suggest a future theme show: Head.
KPC (host) 7:29:23 PM
Can't play the Prince song tho :(
Dan Cochrane 7:29:51 PM
Lady Cabdriver, now we’re talking’.
DSM 7:30:12 PM
There is a song called Nothing For Christmas.....
KPC (host) 7:30:20 PM
Nuttin' for Xmas
Dan Cochrane 7:30:38 PM
Uh oh.
DSM 7:30:41 PM
That’s the one!
KPC (host) 7:30:52 PM
I have the Wild Man Fischer version
Dan Cochrane 7:31:09 PM
This song is amazing, never heard it before!
Bill Davidson 7:31:25 PM
Yes, very post-punk.
Christine 🦉 7:31:42 PM
@DSM, you're stirrin' up trouble... 🎄
Jon Solomon 7:32:48 PM
An out of town friend just texted me to say he heard Eleventh Dream Day on WPRB while driving through the area. All or nothing!
Dan Cochrane 7:33:05 PM
Someone played William S. Burroughs, “What I’m thankful for” on Thanksgiving. Brilliantly profane, that took nerve. It was late morning, early afternoon.
DSM 7:33:47 PM
@Christine, Dan set me up!
Dan Cochrane 7:34:02 PM
I resemble that!
Christine 🦉 7:34:11 PM

David Stafford 7:35:38 PM
Flipper: Nothing
Dan Cochrane 7:35:43 PM
I heard a DJ refer to Let It Be as, “the legendary…album.” Sounded ridiculous. Weren’t they all?
Bill Davidson 7:36:50 PM
...Oops.
Andrew Gruen 7:36:51 PM
yeah!
KPC (host) 7:37:00 PM
LOL it happens
Andrew Gruen 7:37:08 PM
it was fun while it lasted
Christine 🦉 7:37:11 PM
😶
Dan Cochrane 7:37:42 PM
Maybe we’re a new era of double entendres, like ‘30’s, ‘40’s. Red Fox, etc.
KPC (host) 7:37:48 PM
Oh the irony
Chris Mohr 7:38:10 PM
Wipers!!
Bill Davidson 7:38:18 PM
It happened to me on one of my AM radio shifts in college. I hadn't previewed the album before playing a track. Quick fade out.
KPC (host) 7:38:36 PM
Thought I had...maybe I played the wrong track.
KPC (host) 7:38:44 PM
Oh well..moving on
Bill Davidson 7:39:06 PM
I usually have trouble understanding lyrics, but some words stick out.
Dan Cochrane 7:39:10 PM
So what’s put the lime in the coconut really about? I’m sitting down.
Bill Davidson 7:39:33 PM
Harry Nilsson was a silly person. And he liked to party.
Dan Cochrane 7:40:16 PM
With John Lennon while he was separated. Love his bio.
Bill Davidson 7:41:11 PM
This doc is worth a look: https://youtu.be/SoFpvG5fb-0
Bill Davidson 7:41:41 PM
(About Nilsson)
Dan Cochrane 7:42:10 PM
I think I just watched it. Very good. They might be giant wieners (sorry).
Dan Cochrane 7:42:43 PM
Bun length
Dan Cochrane 7:43:54 PM
Hey what about the passing of Sweeney Todd (masterpiece) composer, lyricist? Sad day.
David Stafford 7:44:51 PM
ok, reading earlier chats from an hour ago I see Flipper: Nothing was suggested multiple times. And shot down. But there have to be other Flipper songs with "nothing" in the lyrics...
Dan Cochrane 7:44:57 PM
Maybe WPRB will play it…3am. The original on Broadway.
Dan Cochrane 7:46:07 PM
Flipper wasn’t concerned with airplay.
KPC (host) 7:46:39 PM
@David: I just don't have it here right now so I can't play.
Dan Cochrane 7:47:16 PM
Please! Send in the clowns, at least. Pretty please!
KPC (host) 7:48:30 PM
Thanks everybody! See you next week!
Dan Cochrane 7:49:07 PM
Great set, again!
Bill Davidson 7:50:06 PM
