good morning!
TAndy 7:40:38 AM
Hey! That Romperayo track was most excellent to wake up to. Also your show is not on the front page, for some reason Dan's rerun is on instead. I had to travel back to last week's show and look at the show history list to find today's
Krista (host) 7:45:13 AM
Thanks for letting me know, I'll email the guys who train the hamsters in the machine
TAndy 7:46:24 AM
My general music playlist reached the 5000 limit when I tried adding that track to it 😳 over 4500 tracks added just from WPRB listening in the past year
Krista (host) 7:47:10 AM
That's amazing. I really feel my brain has expanded from WPRB! genres I never understood before have grown on me
TAndy 7:48:32 AM
WPRB opened my third eye to psyche rock and shoegaze (pronounced fugazi)
TAndy 7:50:55 AM
It's been fixed!
Krista (host) 7:51:08 AM
that was quick!

Philip Luedecker 8:27:28 AM
Hey Everyone can someone help me? Yesterday a song was played between I would say 3 and 5. The lyrics ending "can you feel me shivering". Felt like a punk rock song... can anyone tell me title?
Philip Luedecker 8:27:37 AM
Its not Spiritbox
Krista (host) 8:28:01 AM
I gotta learn how to do the mashed potato, I hear it all over songs. 3 and 5 in the morning or afternoon?
Philip Luedecker 8:29:42 AM
Sorry
Philip Luedecker 8:29:46 AM
AFternoon
Philip Luedecker 8:30:08 AM
You guys play mad songs I never heard of an I love it!
Christine 8:33:46 AM
"Kleptoparasite;" cool term
Philip Luedecker 8:37:50 AM
HAHA, i thought that was hte name of the song and looked it up.... ooops
Christine 8:38:54 AM
Good morning Philip 🌅 Did you find the song?
Philip Luedecker 8:40:22 AM
No ma'am. Sorry if I am being a bother
Krista (host) 8:40:39 AM
You're no bother Phillip, I'm looking through the playlist right now
Uncle Guelo 8:43:23 AM

🌮🔔💣
Krista (host) 8:48:26 AM
I have no idea which one phillip, I will take a listen to the songs and see if I can find it. I'll report back next week!
Krista (host) 8:48:42 AM
I read through as many lyrics as I can find so far
Krista (host) 8:49:07 AM
I think those are modem sounds in the back of this tacobell canon song
Uncle Guelo 8:50:26 AM
Lemonade no shake?
TAndy 8:51:48 AM
I forgot they served shakes too
Krista (host) 8:53:10 AM
I've never been to one!
Christine 8:53:24 AM
@Philip, I thought "Cyberpunk 2.02.0" by HEALTH (played at 4:20) was the one, but I checked the lyrics, and that lyric is not in there. So not that one; I'll try a few others...
TAndy 8:56:03 AM
I'm not sure if it was during Number 6's show, he doesn't play much that sounds like punk rock
TAndy 8:56:17 AM
Could have possibly been Princeton Blue Ribbon
Christine 9:00:15 AM
A black cow is a root beer & chocolate ice cream concoction, according to teh interwebs
Krista (host) 9:00:55 AM
that's even weirder Christine!! I thought it was alcohol?? steely dan really mad about a ice cream float
Uncle Guelo 9:10:27 AM
Coffee just made me tired today… I’m used to that but usually I get SOME energy from it…
TAndy 9:10:49 AM
My dad still loves this song. I can't think of this song without that damn car commercial that kept using it last year
Krista (host) 9:11:16 AM
eww TAndy!! how dare they
TAndy 9:11:49 AM
Congress should ban TV commercials from using legendary songs
DSM 9:12:26 AM
GM Krista and everyone.
TAndy 9:12:46 AM
Hey DSM!
DSM 9:12:53 AM
Glad I missed that ad campaign, I'm over here in Good Bad and Ugly ecstasy still
DSM 9:13:01 AM
yo TAndy!
Krista (host) 9:13:57 AM
same DSM, glad I never saw that ad. and I agree TAndy
TAndy 9:14:50 AM
The only song I like hearing is that one with the horns and the "safe and sound" vocals
Christine 9:15:21 AM
Good morning, DSM 🍩
DSM 9:16:19 AM
It was an ad that turned me on to that Minnie Ripperton song but in general I agree.
DSM 9:16:47 AM
Good morning Christine! Donut sounds lovely right now.
Uncle Guelo 9:17:27 AM
Yeah I seen that TAndy. Feel like it was Mercedes And yes that safe and sound song is perfect for commercials.
Christine 9:17:39 AM
Donut-it? 😄
DSM 9:18:49 AM
lol. It dough!
TAndy 9:20:06 AM
Oh my god. The bass and drums for this song intro made me think it was the home Depot song
Krista (host) 9:20:37 AM
LOL I should have
TAndy 9:20:48 AM
Request!! If possible sometime during the show please play the Home Depot song from the commercials
Krista (host) 9:20:55 AM

TAndy 9:21:10 AM

DSM 9:25:29 AM
HA!!
DSM 9:26:01 AM
I feel like I suddenly need more doing, more saving. I guess it's just the power of Home Depot.
Christine 9:26:24 AM
Deirdre dionysiac turned me on to them with the "Inside Out" song several months back. Love their sound.
TAndy 9:26:46 AM
I just gained 50lb of muscle mass, new balance sneakers, 5 o clock shadow and a tall mug of black coffee

Christine 9:33:30 AM
Yikes.
TAndy 9:34:30 AM

TAndy 9:34:39 AM
*by the owner
TAndy 9:35:20 AM
Yes!!!! Lift Every Voice & Sing 💙💙💙💙💙
DSM 9:37:04 AM
Is that at all Shoprites? Haven't been in one for about 20 years
TAndy 9:37:22 AM
Blessing to my k-3rd grade music teacher for teaching us how to sing that song 💙 also yeah DSM every one I've been in, at least since the redesigns in the 2000s
