Hey, everyone. Great to be back from space! Pay close attention tonight for a chance to win tickets to see Sun Ra Arkestra in Atlantic City on Friday night!!

Tee shirt spacesuit?

Helllooo!

Too early to request the Ramones set be moved to PM hours on the Christmas Show?

"When did Motley Crue become 'Classic Rock?'"

I think the by-laws state that the Ramones set has to start at 12:34 (aka ONE TWO THREE FOUR!!)

Hi everybody

Hey, everyone!

Gonna send in all of my teeth as an epic prank

Carlos, your vote has been recorded. I hope to do Ramones sets at both 12:34 AM and PM this year...

@Jagex, two teeth was enough of a surprise!

I'll bring all my teeth.... so I'll HAVE them.... shoes too

All joking aside I've been a long time listener to this station, moving to Wisconsin soon and I'm going to miss listening love over the radio!

Live*

@Jagex, that's what listen.wprb.com if for. Hope your move goes well!

Stream stream stream. Wprb is always there for ya

Good evening, everyone! Great to see a mix of familiar names and new chatters in the room tonight.

Oh I know, but the magic of driving around jersey fighting off static while tuning in will be dearly missed.

Thanks to you and all the other hosts for years of entertainment and confusion.

You are very, very welcome.

Speaking of weird French stuff, are you familiar with Les Satellites?

That name does not ring any bells for me.

Worth investigating?

I'll send you a couple tracks. Nothing earth shattering

Thank you. Also, that wasn't a bit. There were really two teeth in the WPRB mail on Tuesday. No more teeth!

if this song doesn't end in the next 30 minutes I'm going to mail you your own teeth

none taken

Teeth belong inside of drums

Where do drums belong?

Around teeth

In a circle.

Just scrolled thru all the post cards…that is one talented person

Post cards are definitely dope af.

Some remind me of Winston Smith inserts in the Dead Kennedy’s albums

All of those Trenton post marks are a tad unsettling though. :)

@Carlos, the person who makes the postcards clearly pays close attention. I hope to find a way to display them all - perhaps when we get to 100 (I doubt they're stopping anytime soon).

Helloooooo the Chat!

Let's go ahead and put 10 minutes on the clock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArIzvsvtK-E

Helloooooo Addie!

The last line uttered by the Clash on Magnificent Seven could come j to play right now

Cheeseboiger?

This track is freaking awesome!

2 mins to rocket launch, from Guyana to space

@Guelo, it is a "name your price" download on Bandcamp, link in playlist. Tell them you heard it on WPRB!

@SDR, is this a rocket that comes back or a rocket that stays in space?

no booster landing

Oh yeah this is definitely going into the collection.

Glad you enjoyed.

F N long innit?

That's the one

The LL I didn’t know I needed this evening!

Addie, this will all tie to a story next mic break (which is soon).

Evening Jin and all!

*Jon

That is a delight!

Lounging like LL Cool J 🕶 😎

Hi Jon and everyone! Welcome back to this galaxy!

Ask Siri…she knows it all

803 years old!

Rob M, the tickets are yours!

Neato!

@Rob M do you have a way of getting in touch with me so I can get a few details from you so the tix are at the door for ya?

Sure. I follow you on twitter, so I can reach out there.

Terrific. Thanks, Rob. Doing giveaways without a true request line is weird!

Thank YOU. Took the girlfriend to see Marshall Allan a few months ago and she loved it, so been wanting to take her to the Arkestra

The request lines are now open…

Oh, awesome. You'll have a great time. I have yet to go to the Anchor so please let us all know how it is!

Will do! I replied to your tweet, your DMs are closed haha

Just saw that (phone is in the other room). You should be all set now. Send your name / phone / email + address when you can please and I'll relay to the Publicity & Promotions director. If there are any issues, she'll reach out I expect.

Speaking of Twitter, I should realign my ID here w/ my Twitter persona LOL

I believe there will be at least one more giveaway between now and Friday so keep listening to WPRB for more chances to win!

Keeping the neon bottle cap tho!

hello Jon and company!

SP!

Any idea when the membership drive merch will ship?

🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣

Evenin' Jon! Good to hear you again.

@EL ..just put that together..neon bottle cap = high priced dogfish head ales!!

@EGRM, early July! The shirts are finally done.

@Amrbose, hello!

How is everyone tonight? Big dinner plans?

@jon & co - you can still call me Randy LOL

You got it, Randy.

this is the heaviest Songs:Ohia cover I've every heard

Hey Sebastian! Hello from Hawkeye too!

oh wait, i think i somehow missed we're in the next song

hey Addie! hey Hawkeye!

@jon--- dinner was falafel and fries from west philly's Saad's

@Sebastian, it got pretty heavy before we moved onto the current song.

Also, that sounds like a quality meal.

this current song has kind-of a late period Swans meets Explosions in the Sky and/or Godspeed feel. None of which is a bad thing

I thought this band's name would be a SEO disaster but now they come up before the song they'e named after!

@jon and yes it was a quality comfort meal. I think Saad's has the best fries in Philly.

despite the name, their sound is uncanny

They are Canadian, to add to the G!YBE-ness.

Dinner update: veggie burgers are in the toaster oven as I type.

*Altavista*!

@ Jon…since it was a pool party did the AQUABATS “ Pool Party “ get played?

"Gushy."

haha

Oof!

Oh no

Priceless

Gooood evening everyone

Hello, everyone. Please push that word further down in the chat so I don't have to look at it for much longer!

I think the big request at the 8th grade pool party I attended back in the day was "O.P.P"

God I am gushing over this music on WPRB now. Gonna snack on some fruit gushers.

....

TAndy, no!

"O.P.P." would have been an inspired choice.

I woke up and chose chaos today >:)

this is nice and Velvet-y I dig it

I respect the decision. Well-played.

Great show tonight. I usually listen while making deliveries with static in the car. So much better at home online with a ca. If IPA

Can of IPA

Love this. Very 70s Neil going on

@Jon, this work's nicely into me birthday festivities😁🍻

Ground chicken tacos on crunchy corn BIG stand up shells. Garlic, Red onions n lil red peppers in the chicken mix . Haaat saaaasss many varieties. Teeny tomatoes. Lil grated cheese. Greens

Happy birthday, @Ambrose!

Excellent as always, @Brian.

Happy birthday Ambrose!!

Whole lime squeezed in the chicken mix. Makes its own sauce. Penzey's did the flavors

Our neighbor's kid made pasta puttanesca for us all last night and the kid made a delicious red lentil / sweet potato / spinach curry the day prior. Both were treats esp. since I didn't have to do a thing!

Awe why thank youse very much!

Hey peeps! Sadly missed Arkestra tix giveaway...teenager at home playing too loud guitar and drum machine. Ironically, the kid i would take to the show.

HBD Bo!

Cheers @ jimbeaux! What was the kid playing?

Jon. What's your go-to veggie burger?

Thanks for the codeine heads up!!!

Bo...he was writing his own song!

Richard, I'll even save you a link! - https://numerogroup.com/products/dessau

Hey, @Jimbeaux!

Yeeoooo Jon!

Thnx Jon :)

@Richard, the veggie burgers tonight were Dr. Praeger knockoffs from Lidl. Decent enough. Not the most amazing but certainly enhanced by a wide assortment of quality condiments.

They were on sale and in a box of 12 so good to have in reserve for nights like this where we were all coming / going / on the radio.

Who's up for some Daniel Johnston-inspired hip hop?

@jimbeaux, that's great!👍

@Jon, SOLD.

Thalia is just so cool. I saw Come at jc Dobbs once.

Ahh yeah! D. J. hip hop

July 10 at Union Pool NYC: the Martha's Vineyard Ferries: Bob Weston (Shellac) -bass Chris Brokaw (Come, Codeine) -drums Elisha Wiesner -guitar

Ferries are a real good time.

Thanks for the veggie burger info. I haven't had the mainstream "impossible" replacements. What is your favorite?

Loving this

Richard, good question. I prefer the fake meat sausages to fake hamburgers. Spicy Tofurky + Field Roast are faves there.

Like, Impossible is good (especially with lots of stuff on it) but sort of tastes the same throughout.

I know @Brian is a big fan of Luhv burgers...

oooo. Good new info.

Thumbs up on Field Roast! I float between Impossible on the grill (tho loose ones are hard to handle until cooked) and veggie burgers that hold no pretense of actually being meat.

Had a very good veggie burger at a spot in Newtown, PA recently b/c there was different stuff happening in each bite...

I love veggie burgers that go heavy in the onions 💙 whatever kind Trenton Thunder stadium used to serve

this song made my teeth come out

and i don't know what to do with them

i believe i'll put them in this envelope

NO MORE TEETH IN THE MAIL PLEASE.

(That goes for all of you.)

After a diet of Tang and freeze dried space food, the Veggie burger sounds like quite the treat after splashdown. Cool spins sir. Laterly!

Thanks, Roffle. Was quite the journey. Delighted to be landlocked for a spell! Mike is next!

https://pe.usps.com/text/pub52/pub52apxc_024.htm

Thank you JS :)

Just label as " exempt human specimen"

Thanks for the show!

Cheers Jon, enjoyed the show, thank you!
