Thank you for joining me in the chat tonight!

Let us have some fun.

Oh, ok, Dad

Yippee! I love Wednesday afternoons.

Rob! Richard! Hello!

Time get out the cutting board, sharpen the knives, and then enjoy a little bit of procrastination.

Yah Rina was great today. Extra out there Wednesday today. Clamour Club. Deirdre D. Rina Chaos. Whew . Great stuff

Hi! Ready to procrastinate.

Dan! Brian! Rofflestomp! Hello!

Heya's and happy birthdays!

Yeah

May 19th is a strong birthday day. Didn't even mention Grace Jones and Joey Ramone let alone Pete Townshend.

Hey Jay!

Love this one

Andre The Giant Birthday Eve is what they call May 18th.

Sharayet Disco on list for great 2022 releases

May 18 is mt st Helen's day

Every track a winner. I will keep coming back to it until I play 'em all.

How is everyone today / tonight?

This list of May 19th birthdays I have looked up is ridiculous. Regardless, I hope Pol Pot, Jojo Siwa and Ho Chi Minh enjoy their special day.

Perhaps Archie Manning will stop by for a spell.

Good in Oregon. Very late spring here. Getting ready to make beef stew.

Wow, 1985 Disco! Musicassette tapes, bell-bottoms... Geez, those guys got some birthdays between them. :)

Whoops, same guy...., :)

3 hours into a 4 hour drive

Hands at 10 and 2, Dan. Travel safe.

Good luck with the stew, Richard. How long does it take?

Greetings Jon and all who reside in the chat this fine evening. Happy Birthday to everyone mentioned on May 19 which also happens to include my oldest sister Kim.

Another esteemed individual for the list! Hey, Brian!

Evenin’ all!

Hey, hope all is well. I've just read of a new Kiwi Jr album, look forward to hearing the first single

Taj Mahal is 80 today

Is there a single that's out, Brian?

Addie! Hello!

Ah. So there is. Bookmarked!

https://kiwijr.bandcamp.com/track/night-vision

May 15 was Brian Eno's birthday

Thanks, Brian!

Just found out as this show began so have it queued for later

Basically, same.

hey y'all!

Oooo, new Danger Mouse!!

And in addition to Mount St. Helens blowing up on this date in 1980, Ian Curtis left this world on the same day.

I enter the chat just as the track mentions philly. nice!

Wild. Never realized that, Rob.

"What is the best song from Philadelphia?" was a topic in a group chat of mine this week. Discuss!

"Ain't No Stoppin Us Now"

Thanks Jon. 35 minutes Instant pot for onions, celery and beef with "natural steam release". Finish in stew pot with potatoes and carrots.

Heya Sebastian!

(the 10:45 long 12" version with the laser beam sounds break before the reprise of the chorus)

Good evening JS!

by the way, I'm the one who recorded that Chris Forsyth track.

on my lil' old Tascam DR-40

hey Addie!

that Ian Curtis/Mt St. Helen's thing was news to me too!

anyone else have one of those novelty liquor bottles in their living room growing up that was shaped like Mt. Saint Helen with the cap being the shape volcano plume? i think it came with a small vial of volcanic ash with it too

Hello everyone!

My cat's birthday is the day after tomorrow

lol

@sebastian no! But I wish we had. That sounds awesome

No, @sebastian but if you can find an image please share.

James, a happy birthday to your cat!

@Sebastian, didn't see you had owed up to that here or I would have been less evasive about it on-mic.

Thanks

@Richard, that sounds great and not as time-consuming as I expected.

Hello Jon! Hey eva-ree-body!!

Hi DSM

Yo James! Happy advance bday to your cat!

Speaking of bands that are made up of members of other bands, @Jon, did you ever listen to that Beach Rats single?

Thanks!

Addie, just got back from VT yesterday and it was 90?! Up there. I got a “maple Creamy” and resisted jumping in a body of water.

My dog Perry is part of the May 19th club. He will turn 8 tomorrow.

@JonSolomon i liked your sly, evasive reference to me! PS since I unfortunately can't share images in the thread I emailed you pics of the aforementioned Mt. St Helen's-shaped liquor bottle

so it was 90 degrees in VT? I can't believe it's gonna be 97 in Philly on Saturday!

Happy birthday to Perry. The list grows!

Digging this cover of "Revolution #9"

@DSM yeah it was ridiculous for a few days there! We did go to the lake on Saturday but it was FREEZING

for @Addie @Jon and anyone curious about the Mt. St. Helen's liquor bottle, i guess you can cut and paste this link. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/mount-st-helens-vintage-liquor-51794054

ooh i forgot hyper links work in this chat!

Sebastian that is lovely! I’d never seen one but it seems like something that would be proudly displayed by elders when growing up for sure

Well this is something wonderful to wake up to. Good evening everyone :)

Howdy TAndy

@sebastian that is really cool! Thanks for the link.

@dsm I think you mean “creemee” 😜

First off all, that's an amazing decanter.

Secondly, I was surprised to learn this piece was made by a former member of Huggy Bear.

this current track is playing well with the bird sounds outside my window. Reminds me of Tim Hecker's ambient stuff

@Addie that’s what i thought would happen (freezing water) but sure was tempting. Opps! Yep creemee. It was delicious.

Hey, Jeff. Missed you sneak in here.

@jon woah! that's some #rocknrollweirdness re: Huggy Bear connection

Hello

Captain! Hello!

Glad I can rejoin the Wednesday evening chats now that the semester's over

@dsm hope you had fun anyway!

Did the semester wrap up OK? Really enjoyed your show yesterday. Now that it is light later, running to DC might be a thing for me.

Hey captain & dsm

hey TAndy!

Yeah things wrapped up well, finishing up my seminar paper about Anatolian Rock

Then all that's left is the dissertation

Amazing. TAndy, hello!

I trust we'll all be able to "peer review" your paper after it is submitted.

@Jon, I didn't either know that either about Ian Curtis and Mount St. Helens. But, today, KEXP in Seattle is celebrating 1980, and so the one dj mentioned what happened on this date in 1980.

I do plan to publish it actually! My buddy Chris and I were thinking of co-authoring that expands from what I'm writing for this course

@Jon this track is really lovely, are you gonna play it in its hour-long entirety?

My friends, I have a confession to make - all this time I've secretly been the parent of a Rutgers student

No I'm the parent of a Rutgers GRADUATE!!!

*now

Congrats to you both!! 💙

Yay Captain!

Congrats Randy!

BA-English, Rutgers-Camden '22 #scarletraptors

Congrats Randy! Exciting times

Don't worry - No PRB pins on the Rutgers hat LOL

Thanks everyone!!!

@Sebastian, that is the plan. I like it a bunch.

@Randy, that's excellent news. RU Rah Rah RU Rah Rah etc.

Needed something soothing tonight and here we are.

This track is really hitting the spot Jon, good call.

It goes places on its own terms. Not just a straight drone.

I'm so relaxed now.

It has been very nice dinner accompaniment (this song)

I agree.

This is also exactly what I needed.

Hello Jon and all, on this long space ambient evening

Ossy, welcome on in.

Hey ossy

This would go well in here https://www.lofiatc.com/?icao=KPHL

Greetings John

@jon - thumbs up or thumbs down to run by this? Bike? Treadmill? Yoga? Dealers Choice

I would run to this, sure.

Hey, Buck!

Hi Tandy!

I don't run w/ music or podcasts or anything, so that's why I asked #run_naked

I usually run to podcasts, sometimes run to music and on occasion leave my phone home.

Haven't busted out my "5K playlist" in a while, perhaps tomorrow!

Welcome to the other side.

So good! I agree with Capt Ahab :)

I bring my phone for photography, when inspired- that's it

I am usually behind on podcasts, so it is to a degree multi-tasking.

Awww yisss

Sensible music to marinade to. :)

That's a decent show name, right there.

Evenin' Jon!

Hello hello Ambrose!

Needs an adverb "Sensible music to s____bly marinade to"

Hello chatters!

I used to work at an ad agency; I know how these things work

@Randy Marthins - That's a sensible caveat. :)

Hey Bro!

Shite! I'm buying that one.

*Tortoise and the Deep tunnel project-Silkworm.

YAY Pethie!!!

Pethie will be a superb substitute. Only wish I could listen but I'll be in the woods with a gaggle of grade schoolers.

I hope you are ready Mike L :)

i have hold music in one ear and wprb in the other

@jon I missed it if you said it, when was this Wild Carnation PRB set from?

I always have so many Firefox tabs open after each show, It's absurd.

June 2009, @Sebastian.

hello @Unoclay, your call is important to us and will be answered in the order in which it was received...

Nothing better than grade schoolers! our "kid is 24. Every9ne that can't listen live, Mixcloud

lulz whatup seb

never saw u in here before. Im usually on the chat sporadically weekdays 9-2ish

@Richard, I'm the same way with other shows on WPRB. Bookmarking a lot of material constantly.

Absolutley Jon. Only good can come from some gaggle of fun grade schoolers. Our "kid" is 24. We miss that.

It will be a good camping trip, last one for us before graduation.

Good memories to hold on to.

@clay I saw you in here on May 4th. I said hello but I think it got lost in the shuffle. Me and WPRB go wayyyyyy back

you should have been here 2 nights ago, there was a 3% in the chat we had to give him some what-for

Dinner tonight was the fake mall stir fry that has proven popular around these parts.

https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018978-mall-style-vegetable-stir-fry

I happened upon that after the fact, @Uno. Very pleased with how the WPRB chat community handled that.

The less said beyond that the better. No need to give it more oxygen.

yeah it was sort of a surprise to even see a troll of that sort around here. somehow this doesnt feel like the real internet

yo sebastian tell us some shows we should know about coming up. my summer is jam packed already. other than the stuff you know about ive got Bit Brigade tix for JBs in May, Heidecker in July, and Comedy Bang Bang in August.

I am not Sebastian, but this Petty Bunco outdoor party on June 5 is of interest to me! - https://www.instagram.com/p/Cck7u0nrAit/

i should have said "anyone + sebby"

i'll put it on the calendar, dont know the bands and personally think their beer needs some work but i like outside + music

Holding my breath for the return of the Concert Calendar

Then we’ll be back to normal

@Buck, I hope there might be a virtual version of that down the line. Will remind those who could use reminding...

Yeah unoclay, I'm like WTF is wrong with that guy having a radical pfp like that and he had the audacity to say were hating him for a hate image!?

My Nick name is Analog Lover

Hello fair peeps!🐥🐥🐥

Thanks man😂

Well. Well. Well. As I live and breathe.

If it isn't JImbeaux.

For the jamz

if you are analog lover then maybe i should be creepy analog stalker

If it isn't, then imma have another identity crisis!

https://franticcitynj.com/ this looks fun!

I turned down a (theoretical) trip to Gonerfest b/c of Frantic City.

Both bills are loaded.

Arrived safely

Great show Jon

And happy birthday everybody in the world

Way to go kid!

Noooooooo!

omg

😊⭐

YESSSSSSSSSS

ekjaisjfankjcoiwutowtu

Thanks for the show Jon

We ain't done yet but thank you!

HAHA.

Thanks for the Insomnia >:)

Oregon Dope

Just giving a preemptive thanks since there's a new tornado chaser vid on YouTube and it has my full attention

As I said before, surprisingly listenable

I think we're up to three WPRB DJs who have played this now!

The drums tho.....

Just catching the end of the show. Fastbird next?

Too cool, 900 IQ! :)

The drums alternating between sleet hitting the window and car crash noises

Wait who are the other two? Dan Ruccia mentioned it I think

...says good night to JS

Dan played it and I assume you + Flex did? Or did I dream that?

Whoooooooa. My teen suggested just 600-500% speeded up.

Didn't you and Flex play it for one of the drive shows?

I forgot to play this, magpie brain moved on to the next shiny thing, and on our joint show Flex and I talked about it but didn't play

Put it in the chat

Hahahaha

Kinda just sounds like I'm using the scan function on a cd player

I can see DTO playing this too lmao

Thanks, for the show, Jon!

So 2 for now, but I'll make it 3 eventually

Yes, only a matter of time.

Lief Inge's "9 Beet Stretch" is a polar opposite.

but I am pretty sure we will all be here for Mike!!

Yes!

Good one tonight yet again Jon. Happy camping and birthdays to all.

WPRB probably does hold record for most times playing regular dopesmoker, we can add short dopesmoker to that title soon

I will be here for Mike's show for sure.

Have a great night all! Thanks for a stellar show, Jon!

Ahhh yeah magpie brain :)

Need to tidy the house with Freeform Pathogen as the soundtrack.

See y'all in the chat and then on the radio...June 1st?!

Wow.

J U N E

Joon

Sounds like a plan Jon. I have started already. release the irobot.

it definitely sounds like pressing forward on a CD

WOOOO

Jon, I was in the car and couldn't chat at the time, but the Jo Johnson and Hilary Johnson piece went well with the hum of helicopters hovering over Center City Philly at that time.

Love this so much

lol

LOL

HAHAHA
