Lots of great tunes today for an early start to the weekend.

One ends in Spanish and one starts in Spanish. We didn’t even plan it.

Woo! Good morning DJ Tobias :)

Same,TAndy and the masses

That's an example of the sort of hive mind that WPRB DJs possess.

Wooogiii woogii

Muy bien

Old school synergy

ARGH

DJ John Tobias Tobias Tobias Tobias!!!!

Yay, the Name Song!! Woooo!

This song is in my mind whenever I enter a public place

The worst 90 seconds of Uniclays day is over. Glad he’s still here

if i make a song in garageband called Unoclay will you play it? fairs fair

Oof... try: pay-LEE-koo-lahss hen-ee-AH-less

I can’t make any promises. It can be a slippery slope

But the song sounded great! Morning all

bwahahaa i will add it to the list of things to do. Might be a minute!!!

'Teeth' Marks! Buzzword of the week. :)

would be so great if all the regulars made a name song for themselves and submitted and you had a bunch to play

It might be a bit niche-y

Someone might get left out…

☕️O 🐝👁A.S

That’s why I don’t wish HBD to anyone online. I don’t want to skip anyone by accident.

This is the fluffiest song of the day… I think

Sounding good, Tobias 🐝 🐝 🐝 Go, WPRB hivemind

hey if you dont make a name song for yourself i could include you in mine??

If I don’t reply to someone it’s my my fault. I’m not as fast as other DJs, but every comment is appreciated

Thanks, MrM.

The worst part of my day is over: a standing 10 am meeting call that means I invariably miss the end of The New Abnormal (and all shows that end at 10 am) and I miss the transition to the 10 am shows.

☕️🧿 🐝👁ꥃ💲

This may be an odd question for chat but would anyone know what time that Sun-Ra concert may end? I'm seriously weighing my option of going there then rushing to work late afterwards

Most venues have strict noise ordinances, but not sure of AC.

Clever emojis, @DTO 💯

TAndy, you already determined you’d be F’ed up if you go. Knock it off

TAndy, I would not hazard to guess. I can image time with SunRa is stretchable.

@TAndy, you would entering your Alter Destiny...

Hmmmmmm

I say send it :)

>:)

This is one of the few sad songs I’ll play today

Love Lord Huron--such a good song! And hello

That guitarist. ☠️ So familiar looking...

@MrMalcontent, is that you in the playlist photo?

It’s a classic look

Hellz Yeeaahh 💀 🎸

THE HIVES 💛

Agreed, Lil M

Ah what the hell I'll see if I can weasel my way over to AC for the night. Just gotta figure out the parking situation that doesn't involve paying a garage $30

TAndy, you should figure that into the cost

Hello Li Maria 👋

Went to the Phish show in AC and I just parked on the other side of the bridge and walked. Free :)

Woah. Last time I went to AC back in 2017, I was lucky enough that a street lot attendant let me park all night for like $7

Pelle Almqvist or something like that

Santi 😍😍

Sounds right, Brian

I was going to play a classic Santigold track, but just found this one. I’ll save the other track for later in the summer

SANTIGOLD 💝

violent femmes on sale today for Union Transfer in October.

Howe Lowe can you gowe

Time to head down to the pub

Nick Lowe is on tour, too

We’ll, I am day drinking in my current pic and yes I get the reference

Hi, Christine! (See, I'm slower than you DJ Tobias--I win!) Glad your meeting is behind you! My work day is over--woo-hooo!

Glad to know I’m not alone.

@Li Maria, enjoy your Friday! 🎉 I am envious. My work day will be over at 4:30.

10:33 pm :)

UG, what is 12 from now? Did I make a typo?

Hello, John and friends!

Hi, Kyle

My worker Joe and I are enjoying the show @ Dent Wizard! Thanks

My dream job is to be the soundtrack for working.

Frankie and the WFs!

Getting lots of play here at WPRB

Thanks, Christine--I am already enjoying--have to pace myself, haha (my daughter is making fun of me)

Thundercat 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

@Gueko I found a lot on Kentucky near the venue that charges reasonable rates, I might go there.

DRANK

Thundercat is on a new Gorillaz single. I hope to play it soon if it’s clean.

!!!!

FUNcle Guelo?

Man, I love this song.

FUN DUN FUN BUM

Grillaz 😳

I haven’t met my niece yet but she’s got blue eyes holeee shiet! Can’t wait to go be the crazy uncle

I like this song too. Plus, POM POKO is fun to say.

MrM, not to be confused with a Belgian band I’m playing in the 2nd hour

Ghibli?

Oohh! Looking forward to it!

That Pom Poko was ear-catching. Also, FRANKIE! 💜 Frankie the The Witch Fingers will be playing Asbury Park on 7/30.

UG, not this week. Someone else equally fun to say.

What venue?

Frankie & TWF will be playing The Saint in Asbury.

Thanks for the info

I can hardly believe that the late Red Bank Rob’s son, who played with the toys at his father’s Groove Spot store 20 years ago, is all growed up and made the stop-action video for F&TWF’s “Sweet Freak”.

Anytime! They will surely be Cookin'

William Holden gonna show up at this party, Man?!

That 4th show is happening. All American next week

Nifty!

Dave, that’s common knowledge,right?

WILCO 🤎

@David, interesting! That video is too gnarly for me to watch, even in claymation form.

Now, MrM has gots to see that video! Gnarly Claymation?!? Yes please and thank you very much!

That pic of pup ⬆️ is a hoot and a half! 🤣

It was common knowledge in Red Bank that Robert Bruce was found dead in his storage unit on New Year's Eve. Here’s a message from the maker of that “Sweet Freak” video:

https://gofundme.com/f/robert-bruce-funeral-fund-ii

MrM, yes it really lets you know what they’ll sound like, too

Just got my Sun Ra ticket. Tobias you were right they do offer parking as an option, top notch! I just hope the parking is all night, just in case I wanna stay the night there.

Yesss TAndy!!!! See you there. Conrad also coming

Conrad!! Hell yeah

BELLE AND SEBASTIAN‼️ New Music❗️

TAndy, you should check noise ordinance closing. Most places are strict these days

@Tobias If it's like Philadelphia, I would assume 2 or 3am is the cutoff but I doubt the concert would go far past midnight, honestly. It's a jazz concert so not too noisy.

In 2017 I went with a bud to a dubstep party at that venue that stretches out past the boardwalk, it went from around 10pm until 4am. Fun times.

Sounds fun, let’s how it works in 2022

Harvey Pekar once rode on a bus with Sun Ra, resulting in this “American Splendor” story:

http://www.ayler.co.uk/assets/images/pekarridinthedog.jpg

More from Pekar about Sun Ra: http://ayler.co.uk/assets/images/pekarsunra.jpg

I'll be off to bed soon though, have a good day everyone. See you guys in Dana K's chat later

Thanks for hanging in there for so long

Awesome comic.

PIP BLOM fun to say

Yeo TAndy add me on disco. <3 #3816

Yes it is

@David, thanks for the links. American Splendor, indeed!

In that Crumb-illustrated strip, Lamar Washington is a pseudonym for Albert Ayler.

SGT. PAPERS!!

That's good to know. I wonder why the pseudonym?

I gotchu, after I wake up later...... 😴

Sgt papers sporting some old fashioned tube socks and power chords

Solid lp all the way through Sgtp

Man, I had at least two live mic instances today. Luckily, I was not cursing either time.

Left the mic on during the music?

I never saw Clint Eastwood's Four Seasons movie. Any good?

Maybe

The film is pretty standard, but I’ll watch any bio pic about music

Never heard anything, darn it all to heck

Just a couple of low level pops

any chance you could play Yello's Oh Yeah???

Luckily no spats, cursing or animals at those times

Unoclay, not today everything is set up until Jerry Gordon.

CHICKA CHI-KA

bow bow

I have most of my next show - Totally American for next week.

Typing the words is the next best thing

This track by The Movers is super groovy

Yes it was

“Typing the words is the next best thing” 🤣 BRILLIANT! Cheers, DJ John Tobias!

It works for that track really well

🤣🥸😎

It was used for great effect in a Michael J Fox film

DJ John Tobias Tobias Tobias! Many thanks for another great show! Always appreciate all your efforts! Kind regards!

Chick......chicka chiKA

BOW BOW

Thanks, DJ Tobias.

You beat me to the bow bow part

Good time John!

Fun show--thanks DJ Tobias

Are you thinking Ferris Bueller’s Day Off with Matthew Broderick??

Thanks everyone. See you next week. Maybe Monday will be a bit different for me and Friday is straight up American rock and roll for the holiday

Hello was in How to succeed in business, too. Or something titled like that.

Yello

Ooohhh. Fun Timez!! Cheers!
