Boo G! Er, tea?

I remember See Hear. It's probably long gone now, huh?

MIKE! I tried Joey's mustard pie yesterday. Check out Hanna's chat, I wasn't the biggest fan of how they did it and the chat devolved into mustardposting

I like their sausage tho I'm getting sausage next weekend

YAY!

Amen

You got your AC in. Nice!

Dog is a theme:)

🧋🧋🧋

Booger Tea?!? I'll pass, thank you.

Mustard Pie naysaying!! Booger tea nonbelievers! See Hear remembrances! I am HERE FOR IT ALL.

Howdy Mike!

Hey I'll try Papa's sometime! I was expecting more of a grain mustard layer before the sauce and cheese, rather than Heinz yellow mustard drizzled on top. I bet it would taste good on pepperoni tho

🧋 is delicious.....

This RBCF is already appealing to me only 40 seconds in. Definitely bookmarking the album for later

@TAndy, I hope you didn't pay for that shite? Mustard effin' pie... Must've been a slow day when they came up with that!😤

As (I think?) I said last week, these RBCF recordfs always seemed timed with the weather turning nicer.

I asked for it though Ambrose, just not how I expected it. It was still edible though. Actually tasted very good after it cooled off!

The cover for this album and the whole mood I get from this song reminds me of the shift from summer to autumn. Always the most emotionally exhausting seasonal shift for me!

That was the BEST display of music on cam yet, DJ MikeLupica! Cheers!

@TAndy, fair enough then😜

I am fairly sure these guys use eyeballs for dials on their TV sets.

LOL Rofflestomp.

Yr welcome, MrM!

Hi, Mike. I love Death of Samantha. I just saw Doug Friday. He's great.

Right on, Marcus! DoS is an eternal fave, and yes, Doug rules!

Already time to get ready for work, drive, and endure the meetings. I'll be back later folks, but staying tuned on the radio!

Peas out, TAndy!

Actually wait. I just received news that we may be entering a mustard shortage now 🤬 it's not my fault

Sickest drum fills ever?

Solid right out of the gate! As usual :)

(Ana y Jaime)

@Jimbeaux, they are a brother and sister combo who were 15 and 17 when they recorded that!

Right on, Richard!

@TAndy, that'll teach ye!😜 Enjoy work, laters.

Hi Mike and fellow chatters

Rye Co! Day = made. One time they played a PRB show on my rug.

MrM, did you like the SoCal weather today?

This Rye Coalition back-to-back with The Van Pelt totally makes my day, Mike! I'm marking a sad 30-year anniversary today, and you are really helping cheer me up! Thank you, friend.

Yo danasaur!

Always glad to be here for you, Teresa. #WPRBFAM rules.

Hi Ambrose!

Dave, LOL! I hope you still have that rug!

thanks for the rye!

Nope. Hi, Danosaur! It was kinda fun to have actual weather. You like it here in Nearly Perf Paradise??? 😎

BLONDIE ❤️‍🔥

THIS PLAYLIST 🔥🧡

#WPRBFAM rules but HARD! <3 <3 <3

@MrM, It was fun until the power went out

Oooffff! Annoying! Five mins tho?

It was out for about 40 minutes

Did you eat all the ice cream!?!

Happy Birthday, Ambrose Hughes! 🎂 🎉

Completely emptied the fridge

The Van Pelt’s drummer is now in the Ribeye Brothers, who will play on the Baronet Rooftop (210 5th Avenue, Asbury Park, NJ) on July 8.

🤑🤣 @Danosaur!

Co-signing the birthday wishes, Ambrose!

Howdy everyone

David, wow, did NOT see that coming.

Hey Rob!

DEBBIE HARRY ❤️‍🔥

Hi Rob!

Sending virtual hugs to Teresa Peacock!

Debbie Hairy would be a good punk name

Blondie on Bo's Birthday!😁😍

Happy Birthday Ambrose!

Cheers, BO❗️ 🪅 🍬 🍭 🍫

YAY Mike'

Cheers@Rofflestomp!🍻

s better half!!!!

🍻 Bro!

@Mr.M💀I'm humbled... Many thanks.

From what I recall, "Autoamerican" was Blondie's last hit album. Their next album. "The Hunter", got no commercial airplay. 40 years later, I still haven't heard anything from it!

Parallel Lines ❤️

"Sven" IKEA's most popular name tag. :)

Hey Mike, Pitcrew, and all PRB fam in the Listener Lounge™ tonight 👋

👋 Christine

Yo Christine, welcome back!

Hi Christine!

Hi, Christine!

DAVID LYNCH ❤️‍🔥

I don't know what I expected from this David Lynch record in 2013, but if anything, I like it even more now than I did then.

Ha. Seems right on brand. 😁

D.A.M., DAMN, MA'AM, MAAAAN!

Niagara, send us to hell.

What Jimbeaux uttered!!!

Some things just appreciate with a few years on them.

Yes, like the Michael Keaton movie "Gung Ho". (I will bury you all with this.)

this one made me say Whoa and Woah

don't forget "wowwwoooaaawooohoooohoww"

and WowwieWowWow

Bored. My Dad will say, not enough chores :)

Putting Uma Thurman on speed dial. She can handle the burying stuff well.

"Ulma" another popular name tag at IKEA. :)

I like this Lung Leg record!

Yeah that long leg was pretty damn good

Christine, Lung Leg were great! Their album is real good, too. Saw them a million years ago at Tramps (NYC) opening for Billy Childish.

That must have been a fantastic night

And in the interest of keeping it topical with the gif at the top of the playlist, I'd almost certainly stopped at See Hear before the show.

@Mike, best birthday DJ E.V.E.R.!😛

Cool, Ambrose! I've DJ'd a couple of parties and one wedding, but the only birthday was for my daughter's 7th trip around the sun. Seven year olds are the TOUGHEST crowd.

Young children are not easily impressed at times.

@Mike, I didn't even know what a DJ was at 7!😅

I like this song

I like all these nice selections

RICHARD HELL??? WOWZA!!!

That Richard Hell song was trippy AF. Too good..

listening but on one of the first gen mobiles. No chat. love ya all

slippin' slippin'

THE BAGGUS

We are way out of the gate, but before we go, solid ML!!!!

richard lyons, Lol, a friend of mie had one of those "Brick phones" back in the 90's.

Nothing like getting invited to the starlite lounge only to be put to work 😂

Ha RS! It's a joke with my friends

Ha Selecta

Heya Jerry! Labors of love...

SWELL MAPS!!

swell, just SWELL!

ok l8tr :-D

Will work for tomato pie

HA CF!!!

Sending baggeaux to jimbeaux

Commie you bring the rakes and shovels

THERE WILL BE TOMATO PIE. OR FALAFEL, AT LEAST.

Yeah, gonna make y'all do yard work while you;re here.

Swell Maps, nice! This was one of the leftover records last week, right?

And maybe a Wipers 45?

I think I just mentioned the book last week?

howzamabout falafel tomato pie?

With mustard.

had a falafel pizza last weekend...good, but not what I imagined, so plan to make the falaf-za of my dreams soon....

F A L A F - Z A

this JAM

This Sprints song is a contender for song of the year.

This is really good.

there’s something in your eyes that says maybe…

Yes, MrM!

That guitar and drumming combo is on fire in that last song

Nice to hear some refreshing punk from the homeland! YAY Sprints!😍

Check the video on YouTube, Dano. It is FIERCE.

Think of it as a birthday treat, Amrose!

Ambrose, rather.

SHITE! I had to find my semi-modern device...FLYING NUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 DS maybe in the next 3 weeks?

cheers!

this one YUMMY

Oh man, I haven't listened to the 3Ds in eons. I went to see them once, but wound up tending to a drunk woman outside of the venue who was very committed to surrendering the contents of her stomach to the pavement. Alas. This has colored my ability to listen to the 3Ds ever since, and we are talking like 30 years ago now.

But nevertheless, I will see what I can dig out. "Swarthy Songs for Swabs" was a fave, for sure!

This Dan Melchior song is great

And topical, too! (In the next mic break.)

Brian Eno <333

This is a classic

Beta male anthem!

Somebody played this track last week and am very happy to hear it again!😍

True! Wistfully watching a woman walking away

Prince!! Woo!

BRIAN ENO 💛

PRINCE 👑💜🎸

💜🟣☂️🔮🍇🎵☔

That crowd is going wild

Damn straight

Maya Rudolph did a tribute of him, calling her band, Princess and The Revolution

Movers 👍

1985?!? Mother of f#%&!!!

Ah, suburban bumpkins

Oh, I know what you're talking about. Tracts

@Mike, TURN DOWN THE BACKING MUSIC, PLEASE!

One of the main chick tract artist/writers just died

They're witnessing tools for Christians

But the originator of chick tracts was of course Jack chick

SPRINTS!!

Ah, yeah. I couldn't remember his first name

(even though I missed hearing sprints. I will still yell about them!)

Omg i just saw SEE HEAR. i bought David Lee Roth's autobiography there

Oranges?

A lot of other things too but that sticks out

Ossy! Pete! Commie! Dan! Welcome!

Sprints is a band worth yelling about, for sure.

Then i loaned it to George tabb and it got destroyed in 9/11

Commie, so many wonderful See Hear memories. Let us discuss at FULFILLMENT PARTY 2.0.

Can we have goats at the fulfillment party

Yeah, there's a takeout place nearby that can do that.

see hear was the best. i doubt there was any other place like it ever

It was, to my knowledge, the only fanzine store ever.

HERE for bros Andy & Edwin...<3

See Hear perpetually smelled like weed, incense, damp, and basement.

Which is sort of how I imagine the members of Tonstartssbandht to smell.

Tonstartssbandhtsctasy

...smell it you could😉

I think there were a few co-op-y zine shops run by the punx in cheaper towns than nyc

Trynna gotobed...stop playing all this amazing stuff!

SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK, JIMBEAUX.

Pea soup and challah at that kosher dairy place that was right there and zine shopping was a regular break when i was out flyering for shows

I was all about the six dollar sushi place.

Mmm 🍣

Six hours is an extravagance!

Bargain sushi, like bargain brakes, is not a great idea.

Oh man, I do love this New Palestine Glee Club recording 💜

Hi Christine! 👍

Yo,Bo! Any craic?

Mmm...tapeworm-ifornia rolls!

@Christine, another year older and deeper in debt!😝

They need to do a reunion tour with the Langely Schools kids...

@jimbeaux, barf!!!

Is it your Bo-thday today, @Bo?!

@Christine, you said it!😉

@Bo, Happy Birthday to you! 🎉

@Christine, awe... Thank you ever so much!😊

Do I get a paper plate award for playing Fire in the Kitchen on the radio in 2022? This was a very big record at PRB in 1993.

@Mike, how about two paper plates?

Deal.

Happy birthday bo!

Ooh, pretty! @DJ MikeLupica!

Two paper plates, glued together, decorated with glitter and googly eyes! 🏆

Thank you, I like to think that I clean up real nice.

Christine, you just described my first three paychecks.

Haha @theVINYL!!

@Commie Francis, awe...THANK YOU!😊

🤣🤣 DIED PRETTY 🤩

THIS

Hell yeah, MrM. This song is THE JAM.

So GOOD!

I was gonna talk after this but I think we're just gonna keep going until just before 11. #longsets

I'm getting a 2nd wind right now but I'll lose it if I start flapping my gums. Got some high NRG rekkids to close up shop tonight.

Go one more hour!!

This is a pretty solid jam

Feels like the bottom is gonna fall out of it at any moment, but then... it doesn't.

This jam 💯

Fun show!

I only just now noticed that sweet lava lamp on the left of the second monitor, nice.

This DJ MikeLupica TV Show is HIT!

💸

ANTI ANTI ANTI

From the Eater wikipedia: "Their sound has been characterized as "run-of-the-mill dole queue punk rock"". Well, quite

ANTI ANTI ANTI!!!!!

LOL Dave

THERE ARE NO OTHER SONGS ONLY THIS ONE

Two monitors, one lava lamp. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS MATH.

shouldn't it be spelled AN TIE, AN TIE, AN TIE

Well, I hope Jimbeaux didn't go to bed.

super jam alert

3 hours?! Seems like 90 mins. I’m cry.

Straight up rock and roll show tonight Mike! Quite lovely indeed. Have a great,

Sara coming up, her morning shows are always fun but I'm morbidly curious how a night show will go.

Many more Bo!

3 hours? It only seems like an 8th of a day

😆🤣🤪

Stick around on the YouTube channel for a run through of all the records we DIDN'T play. Coming up at 11.

Or 18 Bath Boys.

DJ MikeLupica, many thanks for another Great Show! Big cheers and kind regards to you!

Ha! Christine!

Ooh, Freeform Pathogen After Dark

Stay Nifty, Danosaur!

Aiyeeee!! New angle!

Thank you, DJ Mike! ✨ And good to hang out with everyone in the Listener Lounge.™

Cheers to all the Dears, especially those with Big Birthday Ears!!

Stay groovy, MrM!

Dang i switch to my friend's sexy disco show for like 10 minutes and i miss eater and the consumers!!

Have a good night everyone! Better see some of ya in the next show chat

Thanks, DJ Mike Lupica!

Just because I haven't said anything since 8:20 doesn't mean I'm not listening. Great show, Mike.

1993 <3

Thanks for the great show Mike, have a good week all

Thanks Mike, TOP SHOW dude!🍻

She's on!
