Amazing opener

Welcome back Commie F.!😊

Who was at the Conshohocken Giant earlier with the brand spankin new WPRB bumper sticker slapped on their car??

probably JIMBO

Hi Commie, Welcome back! Hi Pethie and The Chef !!! Ambrose!!

hi bo!

pethie this is 4 u

Hello Alan!!!

I love this!!!

Good evening everyone! Welcome back, Commie!

Hi Alan, Hello everbody!

Driving but WELCOME BACK!!

eyes on the road Jon Solomon!!

Is it just me, or does this Go_A have a Turkish beat influence going on??

"there you go, way too fast, don't slow down you're gonna crash"

ukraine is very close to turkey!

Hi Rob! "If you drive it like Lightning, You gonna Crash it like Thunder"

Thanks Commie!!

rob do you want me to play that song cause maybe i would

Hi Alan! Yup

Commie, if you have time

Good morn-evening everyone! 😁

Good afterNOon!

hello Tandy!

or T Andy

@ Commie: Congratulations on your pronounciation of zhalmenina!! 🇺🇦

Either works 😎 for once I was able to sleep in on a worknight

Nice request Jeff!

My old GF covered this.

wendy worked in a health food store in eastern CT at the end of her life, i never went there but a bunch of my friends have stories about her

@Commie, New Haven? Such a force she was!

storrs

where uconn is

Good evening. Loving this playlist, Commie F

glad to hear it!

awesome show so far.

Oh man, I love the Witchknot lp!

So many great frontwomen tonight!!!

well i thought this was an instrumental

i guess i'll just play it although it's not very angry

@Commie 😆

I was just thinking of Sinead at the start of the show 😍

i love her, this isn't the angriest song of hers but oh well

No but it's a gem!

Thanks for playing.😊

Mandinka brings me back!

Ah, here we go! Diamanda! ♦️ ♥️

Thx for playing!

Ooooh Diamanda

thanks for requesting!

I know I'm super late to this, but I feel like the band name Born is impossible for Americans to pronounce. There is a really quick rolled R in the middle that's really hard! I know this from hearing the members of Born say their band name, and then me taking a stab at saying it, and then them laughing at me.

yeah i have NO idea how to properly pronounce it

i should probably have googled how to pronounce ð

Thanks, Commie!!

Thanks for playing The Primitives! Good choice, Rob! Haven’t heard this in a million years

i think you requested this for my shut up show and i'm going to play another shut up song later on

It's one of my favorite songs, Lizbot

Still have this 7" somewhere

@Rob Hello!

Commie, me? I don't remember requesting it before. I'm very happy you played it though!

well someone did!

Hi Ambrose!

i finally watched the poly styrene documentary the other day, i was too scared of how sad it was going to be

Was it sad?

it was indeed!

😔

@Commie was hoping for some X-ray Spex😍

X-Ray Spex is wonderful. I don't think they sound dated

i feel very cool that i immediately liked them the best of the 77 punks bands

Sound Carriers are damn good!😊

This just in! Me! Sounds great Commie!

yeah i love this record! i tipped our music director off to it

roffle!

Oh my gosh! I feel I have missed too much!

Here for all the rest!

there's another hour and a half!

The gods are kind.

i mean technically i'm doing transistor sister tonight but it's the same thing so not really

it's complicated

Suck is all this worldly BS. Go with it!

Such, not suck....lol

But that is on a case by case basis.

@ Commie, got any Savages in the box?

i did not have specific plans to play them but if there's a particular song you want to hear i can probably swing it

@Chef Emeril - BAM BAM? My dude? So in the "house demo"! lol!

@Commie, no, nothing specific, at your leisure.

BAM BAM house red

demo

jokez

Cought! Confess!

Whenever I happen to be making a bed, the line “I’m counting your heads while I’m making the beds” always runs through my head.

that's wonderful

So Broadway, but NYC production style immaculately done so long ago. Amazing!

Thanks Commie Francis, gonna hang and listen with a grin. Stuffs still a happenin'. Onboard and tuned in. Thanks

@Peth - that’s excellent! 🛏

Yay Pethie!!

That Househunters song was excellent by the way 🤯

Yep! Check you all next week!

Jam alert

And woohoo for Head Cheese. We live in a jungle, jungle jam!

Evening all, welcome back Commie!

i accidentally bought a record by a new band from canada called head cheese recently thinking it was some unreleased philly head cheese thing

Hi Ossy!

luckily canadian head cheese is pretty good too

bill also got me the original 7" for my birthday!

Hattie is VERY happy to hear the Linda Lindas!

Linda Lindas NICE!

i did not care for the production of their previous studio recording but this sounds so much better!

@commie sweet!

I'm wearing my Tacocat t-shirt, appropriately enough

a friend of mine got their kid a tacocat shirt that is actually just a children's shirt with a taco cat on it

unrelated to the band

How funny. In the early days of my following Tacocat, a taco-cat did come up in Google searches

The housemate of one of my oldest friends appears in an anecdote in the book that Tacocat song is named for, Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit.

I hear Anxious lately on WPRB, I think I heard it earlier during the week! :)

it's definitely a wprb fit

hit too

yeah, that anxiety song hits home

the new are you okay song is great too though!

they're so zeitgeisty

Welcome back, Commmmmiee! This show has been great!

We've enjoyed this show, Commie! We're turning in for the night. Ciao until next time!

night rob and lisa! hi jimbo!

Erase You, heard that song before last semester!

They let me put on uneasy listening at the pub tonight!! I'm back home now tho

Jeez Colin, Uneasy Listening really is like perfect pub music

whens the official WPRB bar hop

Any room for Lene Lovich?

it went over well with the others. all because our dj makes boss music choices.

I know, especially on Saturday nights at places like bowling, get togethers and restaurants

fund raiser night at colonial lanes let's goooo

ta daa

i'm so happy to hear that my show was forced upon people! i love that!

Love Lene so much

@Colin Hi!

oh hiiiiii

mr ambrose and all the rest of the chat, hello be well.

erika!!!

can you go back and explain who every band was where i was like "i don't know anything about this band"?

@Colin, I'm well thanks, you be well too!

ha, just tag me in!

Oh this is an uberjam

This is class!😊

gotta figure a way to make all the photo copiers and prints say zerox at the office.

Banger of a show tonight, thank you Commie Francis!
