good morning!

dead air ?

Yeah, that's all I'm getting, too

what?? I'm connected!!

Streaming is silent

Yup

Troubleshooting ideas, DJ DanRuccia?

I've contacted The Leader

Weird no Glitch Music

Something on mute?

Is it coming over the radio?

Sounds!

There!

That’s a station I.D.

Music!

And we're good

Weird vocals lol

I don’t want to go to work today I’d rather stay home and play

that's Jill Scott, my friend

I was just sharing my inner thoughts

🤣😝🥳🤩🥸

Sorry about that, friends! Should be all fixed now.

Cheers, DJ MikeLupica!

Cheers, DJ Krista!

Thanks Mike!

Cheers, DJ DanRuccia!

Thank you for the assist, Dan and Mr. Malcontent and Mike

In the weird half hour of half sleeping, half dreaming I had before getting up this morning, I had like 5 different mini dreams about different scenarios of getting up for this show. All of them involved my daughter. One of them had a weird hut

beware of baba yaga

did the hut have legs??

Is daughter tooth under Your pillow?!?

No, but I do think it was on stilts. We were living(?) in it

It is MrM! It fell out later on Saturday!!

This is a solid song

hands come in handy

Ooohhh! Well I’m not a gypsy just a good guesser. Everything will be okay. You just knew you needed to be awake and weird stuff will jolt a person to wake up!

Chewy bits!

RobotBits! Smooth!

🦩🦠 🥁 🎸

It's good thing I'm a robot for the radio today because I'm gonna half to leave to get up said girl-with-one-fewer-teeth before too long

B GALACTICA?? Or ???

TRIED to and FAILED and instead I forced him to listen to me talk about Voyager

Haha

OPE

Allegedly Bagu is spelled as BAGGU with all capitals. IDK 🤷‍♂️

This conversation already has me smiling so big. Good pairing.

Glad to hear it. It only gets weirder from here.

It was a fun, ridiculous conversation. I'll be excited to see which parts made the cut

I hope there's some worms in it

Thanks to the anonymous pledge from 5:23 am!

Who writes "Faded Blue Jeans --> indomitable"

NAILS FALLING IN MY EYES

DanRuccia sounded great in that clip! 😂

Oscar-worthy performance

He's coming up! you can hear his laughs now if you're listening closly

closely

I 100% could not make out any lyrics when I was listening to this. That makes it so much better

*listening to this before

Back up singers! And screamers!

I liked it.

Marvin the Martian Oh

I’m not a real people

Marvin the Martian was absolutely my first keychain as a kid

It’s a favourite character!

Bugs Bunny is my favorite

And Bugs Bunny! Definitely!

I gotta say, one thing that sucks about the new streaming world is that there are no longer random old reruns on TV that you watch mostly because they're there. That's probably the only reason I know Looney Tunes at all. My daughter can now essentially binge a show without any filler. It's kinda sad, actually

I would like to request kokomo

which one?

Bugs Bunny

Seriously whichever one is your favorite

Love the stereo panning on the guitar feedback turnpike noise

Well you don't have to request that twice, I'll play it right at the top of hour

Maiden!

OMG best Maiden cover ever

Sung by Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq

Apparently I'm very excited about everything this morning

good! enthusiasm is prized!

Filing this away for some future all-covers show

I love this, i was sincerely like is this fucked up covering maiden at first

DJ DanRuccia and everyone, Don’t you have the channels *COZI-TV* or *Antenna* or *Rewind* or *ME-TV* ??? There are old reruns out there. They are streaming too of course!

good ear Commie, it is Damian Abraham as well

I had the same reaction, @Commie

This has donations coming in so hard, the internet will surely crash.

And now to run to the hills of waking up a sleeping almost 7 year old

CONTORT YOURSELF

I woke up like this

MORNIN BREAKFAST CREW! BAM! WHAT A SET!

morning!!!

"and then you stretch your resistance until your mind slips away"

Done ✅

for once take out all the garbage that's in ur brain

for once! so true.

old men with mustaches keep yer money

old men with moustaches can be provisional members if they wont' join the main club

Abacus 🧮

That did sound like a dot matrix printer

same squirrel 🐿😄

Good to hear Marty Robbins

10,000 peppercorns

I have six butternut squash tho. Hmmmm

Doner Kebab!

(that part of the conversation was sadly cut)

That’s a lot of peppercorns yo

THE WORMS

Not just for the earworms

HeyOoo!

Oh . How did I know this was going to be Ding Dong... nice

Hell yeah

Spring time apropos song.

You're the listener who advocates for it Brian. The call is coming from inside the house.

When a Stranger Texts! Updated

who was phone

On the Martin Mull (he’s an incredible artist as well) album it credits for Duelin Tubas, “from the motion picture, “Belligerence”.

Songs that stop and give it up to the drums for the win again

All the Thai Beat A Go-Go comps = winners . I sought them out after hearing Ding Dong on your show

Thai Surf Garage greatness

is the tuba the most belligerent instrument?

trombone is the most sarcastic

Heat Loaf!

trombone and tuba make me think of Nawlins

I love a marching band. and I love that so many DJs here are frustrated marching band stans

🔥 🍞!

This is PAX's band, right?

that's right! sorry, cats wanted to hear John Wayne's Teeth

Good morning Krista, Dan, & all!

Good morning Christine, I was waiting for you to play some Zamrock

Schubert!

Good morning, silent movie music, I’m weeping already.

played by the master, Horowitz

🇿🇲 🎸💥Zamrock, you say? 😍

Lime’s my favorite flavor Schubert.

That broccoli line jumped out at me too!

I like rainbow, dan

Holy Shiite.

Hi Christine!

Of course, a lick across them all!

Ngozi!

ZAM!!

A groovy Zamrock always makes Monday morning better!!!

I heard Chrissy Zebby Tembo & Ngozi Fam. track a month or so back ... i think it was Pethie subbing mid week. Good stuff

I wonder if there were any classical “one hit wonders”, hey, there was at least one, Glenn Gould, he wrote Opus 1, a wonderful string quartet.

Morning, Commie! 🌅 I really enjoyed your show on Saturday.

Which peddle was that Brian, Hendrix?

Yippee!

Late to the show but stoked to catch 2nd half

I wish Rob from Maryland were here. He would know that bird!

7? Couldn’t it have been injured?

https://octolab.tv/species/seven-arm-octopus/

.... with its wandering eye....

it hides an arm

Disabled I meant.

\\\🧿🧿////

Faker!

I saw that octopus at Emeril's™ Princeton! Loved my rock soup

High 5 me, sucker!?!

Thank god.

Yes, made me think of a float spa. Floating is wonderful. I would not want an ocropus in there with me, also the temperature is human body temp, so the octopus might not like that.

I request American Pie played at 1033% speed

Krista check 1 time donations you silly

A long long tentacle ago, I can still remember...

Octopus has a built-in BAGGU

https://breadandpuppet.org/product/bread-documentary

DS9

well Babylon 5

Oh right! Metamorphosis episode

Now we’re talking!

NIRVANA ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Best music Dave Grohl ever made.

Dumb .. our new national anthem.

Definitely the next election. Scary.

KNEW IT'S BE OCEAN MAN

Yes! 💧

Speaking of its wandering eye....

Oh hello hello hello DJs Krista and Dan!

hello all!

GUITAR SOLO

GUUD STUFFS

Heya guys! Cool tune!

hello Rofflestomp

I'm back! My daughter has successfully gotten to school. Bummed I missed our heptapus and Battlestar conversations. Ah well

Dan, that was a fun heptapus segment. TIL there even *was* a heptapus (I have to read more to find out why it hides one arm in a pouch)

It's because it's a penis, Christine. Couldn't say it on air haha.

That's great, it starts with an earthquake

The latter starts to clatter with tbeer fight...

Can't type fast enough

Definitely singing tho

I am singing along at home (>65% lyrics)

*ladder

A lot easier than Kid A.

(<65% lyrical recall, thst should say)

Excellent! Cheers to both of you! DJ Krista! DJ DanRuccia!

Can't tell you how many times 15 year old me listened to this (the last song on their Eponymous compilation) trying to figure out the lyrics in those pre-internet days

My first exposure to this song was an emo band cover

get up kids? maybe? I don't remember

Heaven!

I love you. Never heard Radiohead on WPRB before.

Just woke up and popped on your show as this song was starting...an excellent start. Hi Krista!

Hi Pethie!

Thanks for playing the REM and R-Head . I'm sure you'll get all kinds of crap from the listenership who think it's too 'Mainstream" but they're both such good tracks from representing totally different musical cultures. Great show K-Host !

Morning, Pethie

Kid A overheard in the ark, what a image.

Especially if it was this song, but really any song

Hellooo, Christine!

In undergrad, I had a class with composer Paul Lansky (who's composition is sampled in Idioteque) and he played the tape of Johnny Greenwood throwing a zillion different things on top of it, none of which worked, until there was the flash of synths that became the song. A totally crazy moment

Pairs of cute boys no doubt.

Due to the rolling waters of the churning seas.

I can tell you all (WPRB family) that this here station/ongoing art project is essential to my emotional & intellectual health. 💚

You said it, girl.

Your flubs are the BEST!

Just before that clip, I was talking about a giant mycelium under the state of Kansas that may be the biggest living thing in the world

Also, Neubauten (or is it just Blixa?) is perfect after those mushrooms

I've heard Radiohead many times on wprb always good to hear them again

And more recently heard The Smile the new spin off band on wprb

Dan Ruccia, don't reveal our secrets!!! the listeners aren't supposed to know my true form

I don’t wanna be no personal pizza 😡. Totally stuck in my head.

That mushroom recording was actually just you!! I knew it!!!!

oh please I have more integrity than that!!! i would never play my own music on the radio

this last part tottally sounds like the mushroom though doesn't it

birthday party cheesecake jellybean boom (little late i was in the car)

you can gouge away... stay all day... if you want to...

This is one I can sing along with

CHAINED TO A PILLAR A THREE DAY PARTY

more tuba and 'bone

from New Orleans!

Thank you Krista & Dan! 🐙✨

Brother Edmund done in by greed

Thanks Krista and Dan ! Great time

Thanks to everyone who stoppped by the chat! Thanks to Dan, my intrepid and patient co host! And thank you to all donors, from the bottom of my heart and the top, too.
