Good evening Dana K!

don't scroll past this chat without saying howdy!

hiya!!

Wait,wait... this isn't Adem Ant?

Dexys Midnight Runners did more than one song?

Howdy

🛼🪩🎶

@Roffle, hee hee

@Roffle, you funny

Oh yea, howdy.

Good evening Roffle, Christine, Rob!

Hi y'all. Friday!

howdeee @Dana K! Maybe we can all listen to some uplifting music together and we can all feel a little better. #hope ✨

that's the idea, christine!

Howdy to the blue Andorian girl!

the andorian mining consortium runs from no one!

That's deep. :)

the last Jam single was actually Beat Surrender. I lied

Always a good time for the Jam! Evenin' Dana K

I was off by a year! And I call myself a Weller fan!

@Dana: Spring and warmer weather on the way...soon you'll have no choice but feel better..Yeah! 🌸😊🌟☀️

thank you, alan! i agree!

I missed it--are you still sick, Dana K?

I'm pretty much all better, just tired. Thank you for asking.

Eating pizza tonight

Pizza makes everything better :)

Pizza does improve matters 🍕

I'm hearing bubkus. Is there a malfunction. And hello Dana K. Great to hopefully hear u

I was about to say the same thing Jeff. I'm in the middle of having a great time doing the dishes and the stream went kaput!

interesting, is anyone listening on FM?

Anyone listening on FM? Stream is definitely down. Don't think it's anything on your end, Dana.

Yeah, I'm connected. Let me get in touch.

FM is fine

FM sounds good!

FM good and hear your voice

thanks so much!

Damn internets!

I'm on internet feed. Dana K. is what I need . An FM radio is not near. Less radio show for me I fear

i'm so sorry, jeff!

📻 😎

I keep wanting to check my messages arrrgh 🤣

No worries, Dana! I still like you

Fuxxing internet

It's back!

PERFECT TIMING

haha

Streams are back, monitoring issue, hopefully just a momentary blip.

Well I'll be daxxed! It is.

Wow! I was going nuts, since I had just Fixed win10 on this thing!!!

thanks Mike!

Thanjs Mike!

Cheers, Mike Lupica!

" The more complicated the plumbing, the easier it is to clog da drain" - Montgomery Scott

I was listening on FM and not looking at the chat, and didn't know anything was up.

blissfully ignorant!

i'm just glad it wasn't my fault, heh. i invested a lot of time in trying to fix my issues. tech issues, that is.

Thank you Mike L.,, BTW I Love your show!

@Dana, that's me all right. lol

Thanks Alan. Looks like there was an internet outage at our server site from 8:16 - 8:33. Does that roughly match when the stream went kaplooey?

Love the redskins tune really brings me back!

Yes Mike Thanks

COVID took away my Dexys Midnight Runners cover band fronted by Ted Leo

Can we hear some Newtown neurotics?? "never thought" perhaps

they were supposed to play St. Patrick's Day 2020

A nice bouncy A minor number. Nice

that's a great request, i will see if i can make some time for it!

Dexys did more than two songs?

I know, Rob! Who knew???

every time someone makes a comment like that, rob, i add another non-eileen dexys song to the queue

I didn't, Jeff.

Dana K, excellent!

@Rob, lol

I must explore DMR a little more thanks to Dana

He an O.G.

Sounds like we're gonna explore more DMR whether we like it or not. Ha

you're going to like it!

Is DMR anything like B*** B**? ;-)

We just might LOVE it! 💘

Dave Matthews Runners

are you in BLoomberg, Dana?

Jeff, I am broadcasting from home in Philly - not a student, so can't use the studio just yet

Soon?

not sure, but i hope so!

OMG, you can borrow my UPENN ID. Dunno if that will work though. :)

This show feels like when I first started tuning in to PRB in the 80s. And that is good

high praise, at least for me lol

you had me at trumpets

Lovin' the show for sure...

what the funk?

This station has grown a lot since the Bullwinkle and Rocky days.

Whatever happened to Cosmo?

Sadly he passed away in 2011

Had no idea! Used to listen to him on the stream when I lived in South Carolina

I only started listening to the stream around 2011.

I remember he used to say "Be sure to fly under the radar so you get home nice and safe" at the end of his show..

He always had a thought provoking great show

Chic is playing under our beloved DJ. Bass players usually realized that they were "Not There Yet" when hearing Chic's bass player

Okay, Dexys need justification for sure. :)

This show is definitely gute Gefiln

💧🤡

This is an amazing song no matter who does it.

just realized i'm up against land of the lost on WXPN tonight - no crossover so far

This rhythm slays...

Damn I hope I still got my 2 Tone Collection double CD somewhere

@Christine - Selecta Jerry could play that one. :)

C'mon Purdue!

💙💙

@Dana, Yep, Robert is presenting Women in New Wave. Which sounds excellent, and I really like Robert. But I prefer your show & PRB.

@Roffle, yes! Maybe The Selecta will be summoned

This is so city pop!

i wouldn't know a lot of this stuff if it weren't for Robert, so i gotta give props.

@Christine - Love that Selecta! Righteous!

1984 such a good year

In 1984 I was ducking from bullies. :)

my parents hadn't met yet!

LOL

1984 brought you 1994

Ah, Madness.

Q: will The Selecter summon The Selecta? 🔮

it was worth a shot!

Time is the only signature.

I still feel young. And people tell me I look young, too

True believer of young at heart.

And yea the Dexys are old now.

I am being pulled away to watching Polish mini series, but I can't seem to be pulled away from this show!

gonna be switching up gears soon, so it's probably a good time to be pulled away!

Oh, you tease

nice show so far, tho you do have tough competition in Robert’s LOTL tonite :)

unlike robert, i will be playing music from the current decade!

Best of both worlds: Robert will probably upload his show on Mixcloud later.

Oh hi Mark

ha and current century! if anyones interested st peters won tonight too

hi Christine & other DBTFers

This man has the voice of a choking penguin lol

i will not take kevin rowland slander in this chat

These! are! the! good! times!✨🪩

haha robert can’t match those sassy mic breaks either :)

hahaha probably because he gets paid for what he does

I admire Robert. His LOTL shows have brought together a buncha interesting & weird people. He also DJs monthly dance parties in Philly.

i used to go to almost every single of his sex dwarf parties between 2011 and 2016 or so, made a lot of friends that way

his peel shows are especially good. really the only xpn programing close to prb

Pinch Points make me happys

Awesome @Dana! I only started going very recently. It's a welcoming community.

i hope to go again some day soon!

anyone make it to night of 1000 kates last week ?

i was working, but i saw some great footage

i just saw they put it up on youtube gotta watch later on

@Mark, no I have never had the pleasure of being part of that. You?

Dana K! I have to go now, but thank you so much for the excellent show tonight! Loved the new Pinch Points you played a few minutes ago :)

no i only learned from lizbot raving about it and watching the youtubes it’s gotta be fantastic live

thank you so much for listening!

G'night TAndy 🌛

the person who put together the night of 1000 kates is the former and sometimes current WPRB DJ julia factorial

That's wild! Julia of Clean Yr Room fame? I loved thst show.

wow i think that did get mentioned in last year all virtual show

most recently they did the show jetty on the rocks

By the way: this all NEW music set is FANTASTIC 💯

I finally got home and discontinued my shoes for the day. lets go new music! been quite the week.

welcome home, colin! thanks for tuning in to W P R B

cats are fed, i am fed, cool one cracked.

Yooooooo this is great

Goes great as the soundtrack to some bball

Have the nice night Dana, G'night all.

yoni, also, this can double as a great soundtrack to watering plants!! one price, two times as nice.

goodnight roffle!

see ya round roff!

Goodnight, Roffle 🌛

Great stuff btw!

agreed i added sophisticated boom boom to the list.

a dead or alive cassette was one of the first three albums that i bought on my own with my hard earned yard work money. maybe age 9.

✨Night of Quadruple Dexys✨

Thank you, Dana K!

thank you all so much for choosing to spend your friday night with WPRB and DBTF!

thanks dana always fun to go back to the 80s & hear 20s too !
