Chat is archived.

WELCOME, righteous ones!!! Chat is OPEN!

Heyyyyy Readie!!! Been one helluva week...Time to Shake it Off, and get ready for the Weekend... And have you been doing???

Hey Alan- welcome to the weekly shake-off, chill-out! I'm doing just fine! still kind of going stir crazy in the domicile, but staying safe!

How are you?

@Readie: Been Celebrating the Webb Telescope. All major deployments complete, looking good but still "fingers crossed"...

I saw that in the NYT, so good to hear! Still keeping fingers crossed!

Seeing a whole handful of different countries cooperate on a major 20 year + project, really inspires me!

Cooperation is inspiring, indeed, what we need more of...today ad always!

*and*

Amen! But easier said than done, at least sometimes...

Hello Readie! And Alan! Lovely opening tracks.

Thanks, DSM! HELLO there!

Greetings Readie ! Hello all! Hope everyone is well.

Hi DSM! I never heard a Harp played in that style as on the track "Gospel Trane.

I don't think it registered to me as harp until you mentioned it and I looked at that picture!

Greetings Coastal Loon...

Readie, my intent during Kat's show wasn't to ruin appreciation for Tuvan throat singing, but to increase appreciation for the mysterious Popeye. He must have spent time at ports along the Chinese coast learning from Mongolian sailors.

Hi Coastal Loon! welcome! Nice to see you!!!

@Dave! LOL!!!! I confess, Popeye was one of my faves as a kid, and I was so thin, ppl would tease me and call me Olive Oyl...lol!

And all is forgiven, @Dave, my tongue was firmly planted in cheek, lol! BTW, I was working and unable to chat, but was listening and enjoying your set this morning!!

Oh my garshk.

Thanks.

Sure! And thanks for stoppin' by - nice to see you in this space!!

"garshk" Spelling genius...

This sounds like a deep winter track already

Re: Anilah, Loved that warrior music....

Glad you dig it, @Alan!

That song was great @alan. New to me.

Hey! Aurorae!! Yes winter themes!

Some weeks, we feel like warriors at work, eh???

I'm thinking of the upcoming Wolf moon...

Hiya Matthew! How are you doing???

I just remembered to tune in sorry I'm late~ just wow ! what a show

The Nordic trickster sings to us all!

@Readie: Yes the upcoming full moon falls on Martin Luther King day. It'll be the highest full moon except for December, nearly overhead 75 deg. Up.

Thanks, Matthew, come whenever you can! Great to see ya!

@Alan - yeah - it should be coool!

reminds me of queen Boudica of the British-Celtic Iceni tribe (track out there Boadicea I think)

@Alan hi ya

@thanks Readie ( got my KN 95 !)

Hi Matthew!! I hope Readie gets into the backstory of these Nordic/Warrior tracks during the break...

Tony Allen is one of my fave drummers

Wow, that's cool, Matthew - she conquered the Brit forces, eh?

Good on ya, @Matthew! How do you like it?

@ Alan would you happen know what sign the Full Moon is in on Monday?

Taurus

@DSM, yeah, needed to give the drummer some tonight!

....Nice Doggie!!

...got some kielbasa for you!

lol,@Alan...I couldn't resist, was in a weird mood last night when I was tronning...

Love those organ hits!!

Hey y'all Righteous ones! What a cool vibe threading through this set Readie!

Hi Roffle! seems cool is the theme...

HI ROFFLE! Glad you're into it! Thx for droppin' in!

ooo, I was getting in the mood for some bacon back there!

Aw, such a nice pic of Ronnie Spector, RIP :( Hello Readie--happy Friday all

Hi Li Maria! feeling good?!?

Yes--feelin great, thanks!

That's allll right, Li!!!

Hi Li ! Good to "see" you...

Good to "see" you, too, Alan!

Heard things are going well with the Webb!

@Readie--was a little freaked out last week, but all was well by Sunday afternoon

You know, righteous ones, I miss the stacks and the "mothership" studio, but it was sometimes lonely at night. But here in the chat, it's always a good time, and lots of y'all comin' in! YEAH!

Were there multiple phone lines, Readie, or just one?

@ Li: Yes for sure. We were saying what an inspiration it is to see so many different countries cooperate on the Webb project.

Hey y’all! I finally made it! Happy Friday!

Back at the mothership, there was one ringing phone line (actually "strobing", and when the phone rang, it was so cool!

YES! Nice to see cooperation--hope it can be an inspiration for us

WHen we get back into the studios, DJs are gonna have to take a number to line up and roll around in the stacks.

Hey Addie, glad you made it!!!!

@ Li: ..... I never heard a countdown in French before....It launched during Jon Solomon's Christmas show, a Real Event!

Yes--I saw it, too. t

LOL @Mike!!! you know it!

that was so cool

Hey Mike!!! I really enjoy your show after Jon's...Many Thanks!!!!

Thanks Alan! Stop by the playlist some Wednesday night!

@ Mike: Ok !!

What about the felt tips? Hi readie?

Not a question. Hi!

#teamfrostexploding

Crusty Moon

Used to be Thursdays, with Towe on Thursdays and Lizbot was my favorite day, but after a few years in OR and with a regular job, your Friday afternoon brings that special feeling of weekend freedom. Thanks

Brand new!

Masks! I thought they were microphones! Dah.

IMHO the N95 has structural deficiencies in that stupid elastic band!!!!

New look, Matthew:)

HI DAN!

lol - you're killin' me - the Kn95 does not fog up the glasses , but pulls my ears forward so I look like Mr Bean

Buenas tardes a todos

Thanks, @JimmyCarter! Nice to see ya! Thx so much!

Yeah, @Alan, my work mask has TWO elastic bands.

...I re-engineered my masks...made them easily repairable with rubber bands..Simple!

@Matthew, oh, yeah, I forgot to mention the ear thing...

@Li Maria getting in the sprit of the " La lune de loup"

Rob, man, thanks for comin' by tonight!!!!

Hola Readie! It's gonna be cold tomorrow

....so I guess chicken will NOT be on my menu tonight!

R, I’m on disc 11 of 14, Elvis Costello reading his autobiography. Just crammed with musical tidbits. His dad got him all 4 (fab) autographs on one piece of paper. He cut them out to fit in his album. Yes, he sounded mortified at the thought.

Yeah, @Alan, by sunrise it'll be 14 degrees windchill probably a big GOOSE EGG

We're having salmon for dinner fwiw

Hi Rob! Got snow? Want more? :)

Salmon chanted evening! Thanks to readie!

Oh wow! Dan, you r killin' me!!! lol

salmon's sounding mighty good right now....

lemon and dill?

The start of this sounded like James Blood Ulmer record Odyssey.

@Readie: Windchill 14 degrees? Sounds like a good time to beat up on your Yellow Jackets in the wall!!

@dan- will need to check that out! not familiar!

His best, his guitar with violin player.

No, temp is 14, windchill lower, but my walls are warm. But thx for the good thought! Only see a couple these days, and they have passed on, tho they prefer kippin' on their backs...

Thx, Dan!! I will chk James out!

Hi Alan, it's mostly melted and no I do not want any more

Was wondering when the dinner prep convos were gonna start. Kale, white bean, and vegetarian sausage cooking up over here with TONS of garlic and white wine. House smelling pretty godhead right about now.

Salmon may have dill, or not. My wife bought it at Evil Jeff's a couple of hours ago (aka Whole Foods)

I think I caught a whiff…

@Mike--mmm--what brand v sausage do you guys like best?

Mmm sausage

Impossible chicken nuggets and broccoli for me!

MMMMMM, Mike, garlic! I can smell it from here! believe it or not, I had kale for the first time last week at Agricola- awesome salad with perfectly prepped salmon....hmm

@li Maria I’m a huge fan of field roast brand!

This track is superb!

@ Addie: Last night was Maple Syrup Sausages...tonight is Fishstick night...

@Addie Thanks--I'm easy with the veggie stuff but the rest of my family is hard to please!

glad you like it, Dan!

@Li Maria, I wouldn't say I have brand loyalty, but tonight it's Beyond Sausage (sweet variety, which I bought by accident -- I prefer the hot.) It is .... fine.

@ Alan, you’re nothing if not predictable!

I may have to do fish and chips with malt vinegar later...

I wonder where the Chef is tonight!

My snake appears to have malfunctioned. I was feed him his dinner and even though he’s got it all coiled up he can’t seem to find it!

Bill Murray told Elvis Costello that when they suddenly changed to Radio Radio unexpectedly, after being told not to play it, his us tv debut, SNL, Lorne Michaels gave him the finger. Bill was standing next to Lorne.

Uh oh, Addie!!!

Fish sticks,Tater Tots, White Horserasish, Ketchup, Soya sauce, Warm Bread, Canada Dry Ginger Ale, Chocolate cake...Bachelor Menu!!

TOTS!!!

David Byrne on guitar here

Tri tater tots, 3 sided, a school lunchroom standard.

This Dinosaur has one helluva Good Beat!

Is that a Sire records logo, lower left corner?

Sounds pretty good, actually @alan!

I wish there was a Dino-Video for this track...Dino bones dancing...

Yep, Sire

ULTIMATE jam here, folks!

Those wood dinosaur kits are just screaming to be set on fire. Still photo or video.

jimBEAUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soaked in lighter fluid. Out doors of course.

I bet they’d go up like matchsticks!

@ Dan :))))))

Great track! Myriam Valle and Dinosaur are definitely not dragging their tails -- unlike the old, anatomically incorrect T-Rex skeleton model ...

Jeez, this went from first two talking heads albums, to my life in bush of ghosts.

@Alan, Harry Harryhausen style!

lol! @Richard, how are you this fine cold eve??!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 !!!!

That totally ruled.

Who names their kid that, with that last name? HH.

Glad you dug it, Mike

Hairy maybe.

Harry - old school animator - genius...

feel the FUTURE

I don't know my rising sign, no idea...I'm a Sagg...how would I know?

I just watched Quentin Tarantino talking about his 20 favorite movies, since he started making movies. Team America: World Police, and The Woody Allen movie with Christina Ricci both on it. Now I gotta see them.

(Ray Harryhausen)

Jason and The Argonauts! Not on QT list.

Thank goodness!

Right, Jimbeaux, you are correct sir...it's Ray...my brain hurts! lol

Harry was his nickname

Chicago children’s tv pioneer…Ray Rayner. He’d cover himself with squares of paper pinned on his overalls. Notes on script of show. Yes, pre Post-it.

lol

That guy could animate a bar of Ivory soap, make it look terrifying.

This extended cut is the ONE !

@ Readie Righteous (host) Hey Readie, sorry for delay in answering your kind question! I'm well and content after a very productive day. I was just out running errands in the descending coldddddd temps ... but I had WPRB with Recherche on my car FM stereo, so I got extra warm extra quickly. Thanks! :-))

@ CL- I was vibin' to this this week...yeah

@Richard! Thx much, thx for takin' WPRB wherever ya go!!!

Extended cut is the way to go!

Just let the dog out, and can report it is a whole 2 degrees out here in VT

who let the dogs out????\

@ Readie got me moving.. Heya Addie!

Ahoy, Coastal Loon!

@DSM- you know it!!!

keep movin' y'all!

...movin' to Jimmy...

love me a hammond B-3

...hammond just a tad in there..Nice and light

oh, yeah, he'll be back...

Just stepped out to pick up my stromboli with a quick walk up the street. Cold and windy, but oh so clear. Leslie speakers rule with a B-3!

affirmative, Roffle

..even one of those campfire hot potatoes would have no trouble coolin' off tonight..

never had a campfire hot potato, Alan, I've led a sheltered life !

allegedly

Good night to put those potatoes in your pockets and do some stargazing. :)

A fine idea, roffle!

@ Readie: You mean that you never went camping up a Hickory Run near Scranton??

@Addie - 2 degrees up there might be a tad on the chill side even with potatoes!

@roffle, true. And tomorrow subzero with super low windchills! Potatoes probably wouldn’t be too helpful.

...Now they tell us!!

Roffle, jealous of that stromboli over here!

Anyone do wordle today? Really had me stumped to the very end

DSM, yes, I did it and I didn't get the word, sadly

Rob, I got it very last try but only thanks to previous hints.

Have not tried Wordle it yet. I have a bunch of rabbit hole irons in the fire as it is. lol

Roffle, they only let you do one a day, which is kind of nice.

Hadn't heard that 'She Talks to Rainbows' before, very nice, very nice.

Despite the lo-fi on this, Ronnie's voice pierces through.... what a talent

that vibrato !

Glad you like it, DSM! I hadn't heard it either - I was exploring Ronnie a couple of days ago when I heard ... I still have a lot to explore....

@DSM yup! Just started playing yesterday. I’m hooked! I did get todays in 4 lines. 😉

@DSM - Okay, if there is a once a day throttle built in to it, that's not so nefarious as the other Apps being spammed around out there.

@DSM, someone said using "Pious" and "Teary" as your opening Wordle words, which use all the vowels, can/should lead to success. It didn't today but it did work earlier this week

Nice Addie! Roffle I hear ya

Rob interesting. I knew there must be some sort of starting word hacks

@Addie, hooray! I think I got yesterday's in four tries (which included pious and teary)

I saw Wordle but haven't tried it yet...

kudos to you for playing Ronnie tonight. Singular voice.

@DSM, https://twitter.com/__apf__/status/1480584512924909568. I see from my reply that I got the word on the 4th line on Tuesday, not yesterday

Thank you

The guy who did the thunder SFX on that track - won a grammy for it!

@Readie, be careful! It might draw you in

@Michael, glad you liked it

Hi Buck Wild!!

Billy Joel, just said doesn’t a guy sing this song?

@Rob, curious to try it out, tho picking the first word randomly is one of my favorite parts, kinda like lottery numbers, makes the hits extra exciting.

I do the NYT puzzles every morning - the mini-crossword, Bumble Bee, that cross-stitchy one and the Tiles. May have to branch out to Wordle

Also, Ronnie's hair was always consistently amazing.

@DSM, a WPRB-hive... that's where Amy Winehouse got her look...

Superb Show RRRRRRReadie!

Thanks, Jimbeaux, great to see ya tonight!

(and i love nyt mini crossword too!)

IK,R?!!!

i try to keep it under a minute

Wow that flew by! Great show Readie. Have a great weekend! Snowy Monday maybe...

Yeah, you're good, Jimbeaux - that's my goal too...I lost the keyboard this morning and it messed me up!

Yep, @DSM, thx for comin'!

Maybe just a little snow?

a razor blade the devil made!!

I’m hoping for a foot of snow at least up here on Monday! Stay warm everyone!

@DSM, good luck tomorrow!

Nighty, Righteous Ones💥💥💥

Enjoy your snow, Addie, and stay warm

My kiddo Z wants you to know she loves your show, Readie!

Thanks for the show, Readie! You and everybody stay warm and be kind

Thanks Rob!

Readie: Thanks for the Ronnie tribute, and the Dino-Tune! You stay Warm too! bcnu PEACE!

✌️

Thanks everyone! it was a stone COLD gas!!!!

Fun time, as always Readie. Have a great weekend everyone!

Thanks, Li Maria!
