Hello! It's Pethie, filling in for Commie Francis tonight~!

Hi Pethie! Zappa!

My wife was singing along to that Mothers song

Hi Pethie! 🎀 Great to hear you on the radio tonight!

Good evening Pethhie!

Hello Rob and Christine! Glad to be here on the air tonight!

HOla Ambrose!

Hi, DJ Pethie!

Hello, Plumcakes and MRM!

[user comments are not visible and each one requires DJ approval by clicking on or adding a check mark]

AGH

sorry about that!

Looking forward to the sartorial mini-themes👗👔 👘🥻

comments should be fixed

Hello! Chat on half-duplex here.

[any comments made before turning on auto post need the check mark in the corner of each post to be visible]

oh! neckties are the only sartorial theme, unless you count bracelets.

MrM, maybe refresh?

Tabasco Neckties Are Hottt!

I’m fresh to death! Everything is Awesome!

Bracelets count, I think! Since people wear them.

MrM, you are the freshest.

How about neckerchiefs ?

No need for you to freshen up, @MrM. You're the freshiest!

Oh! Neckerchiefs would totally count in my world

@Pethie 😝

I'm tempted to send a postcard to the Glow In The Dark Tie Co. in Chicago, IL. 💌

THE FIERY FURNACES 💎💙

Delayed Reaction 👎

I'm on a Fiery Furnaces kick...

I heart them so much!

We all could use a few striptease neckties

Um, yeah Mr.M💀 refresh won't refresh!

ELLA FITZGERALD 💖

We are blessed; two songs by Ella tonight! 💜💜 Dylan Fox played Ella during his Spring- themed show.

Ah, I missed hearing Ella, but I tuned in in time to hear Nina. I'll be playing her too!

Wooo, NINA SIMONE 💝 finally early on one! 😃

Ella, Nina or Sarah?

Cravats! 💯

All of ‘em!!!

@Christine, my late Da would wear one on rare occasions👍

...and theirs The Cravats band also.

Classic, @Bo.⭐ Will never go out of style (according to me).

Congrats on wearing Cravats! 🎉 👔

I will have to find a large time machine.

@Pethie, I'm there in spirit!😜

We’d settle for Studio 53 at this point! Seriously, can we get a Studio 55 or SomeDangThang!?!

Pretty Things are one of the most underappreciated bands ever imho!

I just want an excuse to wear shiny satin

DJs can wear shiny satin 24/7!!

Mr.M💀 I like the way you think for a bone head!👍

Ahahahaha

I mean, hey! 😡

Eugene of the Pitney's😊

This'll be an education ...I don't know one single song about 'bracelets'.

Nina 💎

NINA!!!😍

🤩🤩🤩

Um ..

Erm…

Excuse my ignorance, what's a bauble?

It's sort of a catch-all for jewelry, sparkly things.

It's like a gewgaw, @Bo.

Yoouuu aarrrhhhh @ Ambrose Hughes!

Pethie!

Esoterica!!! Hellooooo

Excellent tunes!

Thank you so much!

A doodad. A gimcrack.

On way home from the wet leg show in Philly.

Can’t chat really. Just saying hi to all

DJ Esoterica! Cheers!

Cheers mr. M!

Hey, @Eso! Be safe getting home.

We want to hear a concert report at some point!

Will do! Ward is driving so all good

Tried a sour beer! Too sour!

Aw, AHH, right O ...I seem to be short of such a thing 😝

It’s right there in the name, DJ Esoterica!

@Esoterica, was it a sour cherry beer?

I know! It was horrible

Sour kiwi beer

Christine too much

Wow! 🥝

Dang! Oooffff kiwi? Were u already 🥴 when you ordered that one?!?

Maybe. Margarita plus a nice red ale

HeyOoo! One more margarita to chase away the kiwi!

I still have all my faculties

Lol

Es!

Love the chicka boom, pethie

@Esoterica HELLO! Sort of a Frosty, sour wet leg of a night you had, hopefully it was fun though?

Oh! This!

Esoterica, me too! Carmen Miranda RULES

Wet leg is fun!! They need more songs. I was hoping for an encore with some cool covers. They were on stage for maybe an hour, fifteen maybe

Show over at 8:15 whaaatt

Lazy!

@esoterica, was it Under 21's???

Shoutout, Tigre and Bunny! 🚗💥

this song UNREAL

Meanwhile Gang of Four is 30 years older amd they were in fir the duration! #oldpunksrule

They don’t want to get ripped in AARP!

*and *for love this, peth! Agree, jimbeaux

@esoterica, Amen.

True, mr. M and thanks and bless, Ambrose

Love this. Boum! 🇫🇷

Me too, c! Peth mines for the best music.

Blossom Dearie has enchanted me totally

Blossom Dearie for the second time tonight, 😍

Esoterica, did you play Blossom recently?

True! Peth, I played her version of figure eight on Monday filling in for Sonny boy

That was it! That's right, not your usual time slot! I was listening in the car!

@Pethie, Dylan played her earlier!

Woah, she's HOTT on WPRB

As she should be!

TOTALLY!

KRAFTWERK ❤️‍🔥

@Bo, That's right! Wild. Two Blossom Dearie songs tonight.

@Christine, 😍 WPRB!

I also played what is it, Dearie’s Blues?

I first experienced Blossom Dearie during Christmas season, her song was so Disney wonderful!!

Totally enchanting.

@ambrose, actually 21+ show. Nice band from the Isle of Wight

@Pethie, got any John Lee Hooker/ Boom Boom Out Go The Lights in the box?

Ambrose! Like Pat Travers, Boom Boom!

@esoterica, how many bands come from Isle Of Wight? NICE!

W💜P💚R💙B @🅱️🅾️

@Ambrose, I had that song on the playlist, but then I listened to the lyrics and sort put it on the back burner.

@Esoterica, um, not familiar with Pat Travers sorry🙄

@Pethie, ah, no worries!

uh oh, i cannot seem to update the setlist?

Uh oh.

I'm gonna go oyut on a limb and ponder that it has to do with spring forward? the spinitron clock thinks it's 9pm?

@Pethie, I never thought of that. How *does* Spinitron deal with the time change?

oops, I fixed it i think.

I have a hammer!⌚🔨

I probably clicked something. @Christine, I have no idea!

oops, the spini. clock went back to 9pm again! I guess I'll just fix it manually for each track. weird!

@ambrose, my bro Ron had an album by this guitarist Pat Travers abs he had this hit Boom, Boom Put ago the Lights!

Pethie you single handedly made me remember that tonight is DST

*Out Go the Lights! Very American (whatever that means), very 70s

SCRITTI POLITTI ❤️

You are in for a treat, Mr. M. Two Scritti Boom songs tonight!

DJ Pethie, Spinitron glitches on DST and it’s annoying. How are you overriding it??

I'm manually fixing the time for each song.

Whut?! ACES! ♠️🖤♠️

Sonic Sha-Booms 💯

Yeah, how? Change the time after you’ve made the song entry info and then Enter?

Not a request but just want to mention The Jamaicans ba ba boom 💣🔥

@esoterica, further investigation required me thinks.
