👶🏻🐳

Her-mano !

100 years Desert Cruising

👶🐳 lol

hey friends!

Lo desert represent !

I'd love to see the old playlists.

Deep in Sky Valley so far

So now I know that Kyuss has two syllables.

Hip Hip Hoorah for Captain Ahab -- both Baby Ahab and All Growed-up Ahab! Auguri!!!

Lol

@david however, southerners can make any monosyllabic word have two syllables

Qwoos?

Qays?

Thanks Teresa!

Ahoy Ahab!! 10 years already??? Wow, Congratulations are due!

Hi team. Great start to the set!

Thanks Alan!

Hello Thomas!

Freewheelin' w/ Truckfighters

@ Ahab: I remember when I'd call in years ago asking about a track you just played, thinking "I hope she isn't busy lining up stuff for the show", but you almost always picked up! Many Thanks!!!

This whole album is dope

YES!!!!

Dorthia4eva

Aww Alan! I LOVED answering the phone

I called Flex once w/ some Pink Floyd minutiae trivia

@Jason, I've got them all downloaded from the old PRB pages, just in the process of sprucing them up

Does anybody telephone the DJ's anymore? Are the DJ's even physically present at WPRB anymore?

Electric Wizard, now I have to do up a bong load

Oh. Yes. Now.

hey yes! anniversary mega shows!

Student DJs may be in the studio, but since it's summer most might be broadcasting from home

Colin! Brian!

Colin you were there at the beginning

This perfectly captures the mood of a bus ride to middle school. 😡

Lol!!

and David, some dj's are doing shows from the studio at times. I have loved some of the gems they are finding and playing digging through the stacks.

I had to walk to middle school, uphill, both ways

Yes David ever since last Aug-Sept 2021 some student djs have been in studio. I've heard them mention the callers.

The familiar old scenario where people call in right when the dj goes on air to announce... And the dj has to remind callers that they can't answer the phone when they are on air ha ha

Texas Chainsaw 2 is a great radio station-themed story

This riff killed Elvis

Happy 100 Ahab!

🎂

Dillon Gym . Pigpen 1971. Hallowed ground. The Brooklyn bridge....

Blast the Wizard

Gilligan's Island 🌴

Desert Island DIsks!!

Helping the Swedes! 🇸🇪

Dragonaut into Druganaut. Sleep Black Mountain combo segue set

King Buffalo "I want to be the mountain" into Stoned Jesus "I am the Mountain"

Holy Buffalo Black Pink Mountainside Tops

Nice!

This show is awesome

yes indeed.

....Is and Always will be!

And then it said.... bring me the EVIL guitar tone! Now! Yeah this show is epically epic

I never thought about the literal phrase "desert island" until just then during that mic break....what is a desert island? an island in the middle of a desert?

Uninhabited island

awww shucks you're making me blush

Deserted Island vs Desert Island...hmmmm

dessert islands are made of cake

Island of Dr. Moreau

Finally home, considering digging up the photo of Captain Ahab and I in the WPRB studios...

I read through many hundred pages of posts on a geographical geek website (it took many years ... jusr for fun on lunch break here n there...) and they mentioned lakes in the middle of islands that were in the middle of lakes in the middle of islands in a sea or some such (Donald Sutherland passes it to the students....)

love that photo! I didnt have the desertcruising insta at the time so ill have to share it there too

Sumatra and Canada i think share oddities similar to that (island / lake like doll inside doll etc)

licc

ye olde Russian nesting dolls

Oh chit is this the Earthless w/ the drummer from Off! ?

I believe it is mountain

Guit. Tar. So. Lo.

Lo desert sound

Earthless at Underground Arts soon. September, I think.

Crazyfingers on the guitar

you all must go, I will be jelly from afar

Nailing it!

Punk band name: Jelly From Afar

Jelly Biafra

Been listening to your shows from wayback. If it wasn't for you, I would never have listened to stoner/desert rock. Thanks!

Far From Jelly

Thanks Vinta! Glad I could spread the riffs

VintaSonic followed the dubya prb to the riff-filled lands

Striking out trying to find the 201X photo of us. Alas!

i gotchu, one sec

JON DON'T GIVE UP, DAMN IT MAN CHARGE THAT HILL

Alliteration abounds w/ this one

Strangely reminding me of Yob

havent been listening nearly loud enough

much better now

if your speakers aren't blown, well, turn them UP

Send ear doctor bills to PO Box 388, Princeton, nj

WHAT?? I CAN'T HEAR YOU

Earholes full of sludge and sand

if your neighbors 3 doors down across the street aren't bopping along to your stereo you're not doing it right.

battlefields forevah

My only problem is that no matter how much I turn it up, it's still not loud enough

Dug that set. Haven’t heard Earthless in quite a while

Dr. Rock

Happy anniversary, Cap'n.

Nietzsche used to forge prescriptions for himself signed by "Dr. Nietzsche"

By Ween. That’d be a Desert Cruising first.

Twould be brown

Try modulating and articulating all the feelings that we have for you DOCTOR ROCK!!

Lol

don't conceal your tragic flaw - give the Dr Rock a call... (unless they're not in the studio...)

Turn this desert brown

Dean Ween played on qotsa's songs for the deaf!

O ya. The Mosquito knows. And more

THE MOSQUITO KNOWS

Aha here we have Black Mountain! Great sound

Wucan Clan

got confused there, it is BLACK MOUNTAIN with the track Wucan

too many mountain names

Wucan Clan aint nothin to F with

I saw Primus recently and was a bit sad Black Mountain weren't openers

KEYTAR

thanks Reese! haven't seen you in a bit

McBean delivers. Pink. Black. Mountain proper. Just the tops. All good.

Blood Mountain

Ooh yah! What a show wow

the mighty monolord

You're welcome! I'm in Seattle and it's mid-workday. But not even endless meetings can make miss this episode!

KRAMPUS APPROACHES

I am honored! (by reese, not sure about Krampus)

Look what Black Sabbath started

This riff is illegal in 19 states

the Iommic virus spreads...

Iommic Life

You have to play this riff with vice grips

I saw a friend I hadn't seen in a while today and she said her son was really into "classic metal" so I suggested she tell him about DC w/ CA. She wrote the show info down so hopefully he's out there somewhere...

Thy fingers must be weedstained to attempt this riff

not sure if I've shared this meme before: mountain re: Black Sabbath: https://www.instagram.com/p/CO9PYMXpS1w/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

D U S T

It is the master of all reality after all

This makes me want to listen to some Sir Lord Baltimore

Yes sir

Had no idea that Dust band had Marky Ramone on drums . Kenny Aaron on that bass bass bass played w everybody

yeah! totally underrated at the time

Ha! Bri, I was just looking that up and was like whoa really?

If he's Uncle Acid, I wonder what my aunt's name is?

Kenny Aaronson that was...

And Dust had that cool Frank Frazetta album cover.

Aunt DMT

Cuz MDMA

Auntie Psilocybin?

Auntie Depressants?

Grampa Ayahuasca
