John Tobias (host) 9:59:21 AM
Another lovely day for rock and roll
TAndy 10:01:41 AM
I'm the guy in the back seat of the WPRVehicle. Good morning Tobias
Brian D 10:01:57 AM
Liking this already
John Tobias (host) 10:02:10 AM
Thanks Brian. I’m sure back
John Tobias (host) 10:02:37 AM
I’m sure backwards baseball hats look great on TAndy
TAndy 10:03:09 AM
They do! My head is ginormous so backwards is always more comfy 😎
John Tobias (host) 10:03:46 AM
You gotta get the ones that can expand
TAndy 10:05:18 AM
Oh trust me, I've only ever found 2 large headed hats I can wear comfortably. Others can fit but the brim presses on my forehead and causes discomfort. Pretty sure I'm a size 8 or higher for a fitted hat. Maybe 8 1/8
John Tobias (host) 10:06:25 AM
Should be easy to find in a crowd
TAndy 10:06:46 AM
>:)
Guelo <3 10:08:56 AM
i kno ur pain TAndy, I cant even try on a hat if it dont switch lol
Guelo <3 10:09:00 AM
stretch*
John Tobias (host) 10:09:44 AM
I was not blessed with a hat head either
Guelo <3 10:10:20 AM
I just got way too much hair these days
John Tobias (host) 10:11:12 AM
That’s not a bad problem to have
Guelo <3 10:11:36 AM
yeah.... wait wow is each of those name songs under the same backing track xD
Guelo <3 10:11:45 AM
funny
Brian D 10:16:05 AM
My wife got me a size XXL Irish tweed hat i love. Got it years ago. About the only hat that ever fit comfortably. Orvis company. More fall winter early spring hat.
John Tobias (host) 10:17:09 AM
I had an alter boy friend in youth that would steal old man hats during mass - so keep an eye on it
TAndy 10:18:28 AM
I envy those with enough hair that they can form it into the shape of a hat and roll with that
John Tobias (host) 10:19:04 AM
Goals
TAndy 10:19:15 AM

Brian D 10:19:15 AM
Oh yah heard about Head East on some lp blogs. Canadians?
John Tobias (host) 10:19:57 AM
Illinois
Brian D 10:20:36 AM
Oh yeah this was the radio hit!
Brian D 10:21:09 AM
Almost forgot about this song. Definitely got some airplay
John Tobias (host) 10:23:00 AM
Geez, crunchy guitars, cowbell, bass solo, harmonies
John Tobias (host) 10:23:55 AM
My powers of transition are limitless
TAndy 10:27:21 AM
This track is on 🔥
John Tobias (host) 10:27:52 AM
Yup
TAndy 10:28:10 AM
And it's over
John Tobias (host) 10:28:50 AM
Uh huh
TAndy 10:31:14 AM
Yep
ROFFLESTOMP 10:37:06 AM
I went to see Warpaint in Portland, OR. that the ticket said 8pm show.Two lousy opening bands at midnight later I walked out. I hope they were good.
John Tobias (host) 10:38:30 AM
It should be a law that all set times are posted
ROFFLESTOMP 10:38:49 AM
So true.
grink ashman 10:48:57 AM
Beabadoobee is oct29. Thanks for playing, man. Saw them last nov. Seeing them in Denver, too.
John Tobias (host) 10:49:31 AM
Nice, I hope I can make it out
Brian D 10:53:20 AM
Good tune by The Beths
Brian D 10:53:42 AM
Wprb classics here!
John Tobias (host) 10:53:47 AM
It’s what they do
John Tobias (host) 10:54:37 AM
Yeah, gotta have some every show
Brian D 11:05:07 AM
Kinks live One For The Road was 1 of first albums i bought. Loved the long synth intro to this song. Heard the studio version of Celluloid Heroes later. Both great. Way up on the favorite bands list
John Tobias (host) 11:05:51 AM
I have that on vinyl but went with shorter version today
ROFFLESTOMP 11:09:18 AM
Honestly, I would buy WPRB tee shirts with the DJ margin liner notes of many albums from the stacks come to think of it.
John Tobias (host) 11:09:48 AM
I’ll pass it on
ROFFLESTOMP 11:11:10 AM
Who can do such magic? Ya just had to mention vinyl didin't ya? :)
John Tobias (host) 11:11:50 AM
Way beyond my skill level
ROFFLESTOMP 11:13:03 AM
Yeah, anyone who can put that together already has my credit numbers anyway.
ROFFLESTOMP 11:14:58 AM
In other words, I'm waitin' for that shirt! :)
John Tobias (host) 11:15:13 AM
Good luck
ROFFLESTOMP 11:15:32 AM
Gotta dream man...
Brian D 11:15:40 AM
Oh whoa whoa oh whoa whoa song! Love it
John Tobias (host) 11:16:21 AM
Catchy
ROFFLESTOMP 11:17:12 AM
Brian says louder? All in!
Brian D 11:17:57 AM
Louder than milk
ROFFLESTOMP 11:18:19 AM
HA!
Brian D 11:28:46 AM
Moose Jaw? Medicine Hat? Flin Flon?
John Tobias (host) 11:29:18 AM
It’s in there somewhere, plus she said hockey
Brian D 11:29:32 AM
And curling? Ha
John Tobias (host) 11:29:58 AM
Maybe on their next single
ROFFLESTOMP 11:30:05 AM
To be honest John, people are weird and notice weird shit endlessly. It's what we do.
John Tobias (host) 11:30:34 AM
That’s what keeps us in business
ROFFLESTOMP 11:31:26 AM
Curling is witchcraft. Brooms!
John Tobias (host) 11:33:26 AM
Probably not the opinion of the station
ROFFLESTOMP 11:39:13 AM
True, it's a wonderful distance of opinions, but in the same breath the FM played a turn offable amount of AM sports stuff before sanity happened. A kids dad from Watchung ain't gonna support the channel. lol
John Tobias (host) 11:40:15 AM
It’s complicated
ROFFLESTOMP 11:41:46 AM
Indeed. Sorry.
John Tobias (host) 11:43:22 AM
It’s all good
ROFFLESTOMP 11:44:03 AM
You are the Tobias!
ROFFLESTOMP 11:44:28 AM
Good for us!
John Tobias (host) 11:44:42 AM
It’s true, I am
Brian D 11:45:40 AM
GBV!
John Tobias (host) 11:46:10 AM
They still got it
John Tobias (host) 11:58:27 AM
See everyone next next week.
Christine 11:59:35 AM
TY, DJ Tobias
John Tobias (host) 11:59:45 AM
Sure thing
Brian D 11:59:58 AM
Great show John!
John Tobias (host) 12:00:07 PM
Thanks, I try
ROFFLESTOMP 12:00:41 PM
Thank you sir. Have an awesome weekend!
John Tobias (host) 12:00:52 PM
Same, thanks
