First!

Your people gonna be mad that you're pre-gaming over here at 7:57, Jon.

🎱

Jon, you are still broadcasting your own show!

I was simply making sure hotovengrinder.com worked and saw an August 10 show at the top of the page. A public service!

This conversation never happened.

hotovengrinder.com got me here early too, tbh. Cheers!

Praise the series of tubes!

No cooler way to pregame for work than watching king of the hill and listening to prb

Howdy Mike, and howdy TAndy

Hey DSM

Oh Hell yes!!!

Hello y'all

OK, Peaches loop

finestist

The tattletale stranglers???

"Preacherman"

I think Mark E. liked this one.

Hello, DJ MikeLupica!

Yesterday's 100 degree weather was like LARPing the intro to "Sexy Beast" (which is how the gif and this Stranglers song got into my brain.)

Greetings and Salutations, EVERYONE!

Speaking of beast....

sexy beast

>:)

Howdy do MrM?

I haven't actually watched Sexy Beast in ~10 years... I think I might be emotionally ready for it again.

A more up to date Suicide?

I mowed the lawn yesterday and lived to tell the tale.

Hi Mike! Hi all in chat!

Why isn't your lawn dead like everyone else's?

Hey Ambrose!

It is dead, but now it is dead *and* shorter.

Only the stilt grass is growing now.

Ha Jon!

My lawn is dead but the crabgrass is thriveing

I wondered if you were a "Hank Hill". (not really)

I mow mine at 7:00am with an electric weed whacker, so I don't disturb the neighbors.

I start at 6:66am with my diesel tractor

No lawn mowing for me. Joining tonight with a G&T in one hand, mermaid needlepoint in the other.

Hey SP!

Hey TAndy!

Yo Pink!

Well TAndy at least something is out there surviving. Most of us don't water in our neighborhood. It rains sooo many months of the year.

I don't water, if it were up to me though I'd choose a cover lawn

I grew up in Oklahoma where if you water in August people will give you some serious side eye. And quietly curse you as they drive by in their 5mpg cars.

lol SP

Good idea TAndy. HA SP. I wouldn't figure that was the case.

Hi, DJ StitchingPink!

Cheers to DJ JonSolomon! Another fun show!

Hello Mr.M. What’s your potion tonight?

Very nice start to the show, DJ MikeLupica!

Cheers in return!

Cold water L0LZ

Thanks MrM! I am feeling GOOD about tonight.

💧

We need more from Sprints. And soon.

Let’s get this show on the rebroadcast schedule!

Kick ass start, Mike.

Open chat 3am rebroadcast!!

Hard agree, Reese. Can't find this record anywhere.

That sounded a bit like Amyl and the Sniffers or Pinch Points! Love it

sold out on bandcamp, that's for sure. i've been searching myself.

Here, Here MR M!!!

I second that

Agree, Richard. Wold love to see that tour ... several thousand times more than the "Flannel Generation" tour tour (google it if you want a laugh.)

I am not sure the Sprints record is out domestically.

@MrM Bird Up??

"Flying the Flannel" Doesn't seem like Mike Watt fits into that. HA

That Sprints "I'm in a Band" tune is living in my head rent-free lately.

Hee hee Reese. Some tenants are better than others :)

You speak truth, richard lyons

SING IT, YOU BASTARDS.

💖💖💖

😭😭😭

I didn't hear, but did Esoterica play this on Filmscape?

@Mike, I had completely forgot about that Maisonettes song, thanks for jogging me memory and remaining me how bloody old I am!😵

Sound of my childhood

I'm out of my head...

She did not.

Oh my god this song

R.I.P. Olivia!😍

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN 💗💝💖

Also idk MrM I was busy putting my contacts in

👓

Song reminds me of this guy doing a scary performance over a cover https://youtube.com/shorts/8HfqxsKUnuU

I saw ONJ at the Portland cannabis

convention.

She and her husband were speakers addressing pain relief.

I'd only do karaoke if they have "We Will Not" from Bad Brains. Hasn't happened yet.

CAN I GET A BAM???

b.a.m.

Preach

FUNNUNNUNNUNN

WestSiiidddeee!

Flying in from Forest Grove, Oregon!

Yes Mr. M

my bad!

Oh yeah that was a gas leak, I used to work not too far from the origin!

That was my refrigerator

wwasnt me

@Chef PEANUT BUTTER AND JAAAAAAAM

Freedom Toast. HA

Mercaptan mayhem?

LOL smelly stories!

sounded like a Lee hazlewood intro

winning segue

kinda got a Macarena beat

oh lawd

you know it do

NUH UH

Hey peeps...been PRB-less for a week. Great to be back!

raise the praise haha

Heyo Jimbeaux!

Jimbeaux, were you in jail or on Mars?

😳

Mars-Jail, aka Nebraska.

Ahh, of course. Welcome back. We made you falafel, but I think it all got eaten in the first set.

Nebraska radio must be awesome 😒

All good...ate so much i will never be the same.

What did you eat in Nebraska? (honest not snarky question)

I guess I'm curious what Nebraska regional cuisine is

Hey JIMBEAUX!!

Cooked a lot with fam, but got vietnamese, thai, and almost Ethiopian (too adventurous for relatives, but got my fix in PHL after returning

damnnnnn dude is unhinged

Estoh locoh

Welcome back Jimbeaux. I was asked how I know you over the weekend!

Ate a LOT of amazing sweet corn and tomatoes

jimbeaux, you got a Shoutout from DJ Pat today too!

Sweet corn and tomatoes.... Are you sure you weren't in New Jersey?

umm that little video clip is a little bit onthe nose

what up hot nerds

Nice jimbeaux!

PRETENDERS 💜

not gonna lie was expecting something more like mayo pies

@jon just say "frequency friends" :)

I remember when freelancing there beef is king in Nebraska.

frequency friends!

hey space cowboy

opossum paella

HA DSM.

"What's up hot nerds" may be a better gtreeting than "Wednesday Night Pitcrew, please rise"

I did have the WORST pizza ever

PLEASE DESCRIBE

Excellent one, Mr.M.

Recently bought this Dan Melchoir.

🤣😇

Was it “Nebraska style?”

feel free to use it at parties socail occasional nd of course formal occasion where its not called for

ohhh ummmmm this might be the new bath boy um i think it is

Jon, you are very close to violating the Spinitron TOS.

90 percent dough, 6 percent cheese, 3 percent sauce, 1 percent veg

i mean it does reference frisbee golf i think i hear d thsat sooo....

hey play the cool dance club dance party again ... awww cmon

🍕🤬

....but this one's not on it...dadgumit

Of course you start playing the song about work when I'm just walking into work

Haha! Sorry, Tandy. We're thinkin' of you.

💙

cracking one open for TAndy

honestly love frisbee golf lol

ha!

High Anxiety, there Mike?

tandy are you a daysleeper

Guess who just tuned in

Also guess who also played that same poison idea song this week

Where else but wprb can I turn on the radio and IMMEDIATELY hear someone say "Poison Idea"

Mike just said Commie joinedin....wa what!!

It commmmmmmmiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!

Hello comrade :)

⏰

CLOCK OF TIME

Based upon how this set is going so far, it is clearly ding dong o'clock.

JP ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

Ha yeah that wasn't a hell on earth

"Timmy Loved Judas Priest"

(Join hands and say it together.)

amen

And then later: "I'd jump his bones"

whoa this is what Danielson sounds like in 2021!? pretty rad!

🦓 👨🏻

DSM, It's from a film about an imaginary Jesus-oriented metal band. Still haven't seen but want to badly!

mmmmmm...jesus metal...hot

Hot metal cheese n rice

I suppose you ate THAT in Nebraska, too?

Everything.

I did pass on rocky mountain oysters, tho

Rocky mountain oysters is PEOPLE!

Yea marcus! Cow peoples 🐂 :)

Soylent Green reference.

🥗💊

just got dosed

Hey, it happens.

this song is scareing me

nice transition!

Oh this is awesome. Love these spoken word jazz pieces.

I have a new obsession- Steven Jesse Bernstein. Thanks for that Mike. Reminds me of Joe Frank (kcrw)

Gautham, definitely some similarities between SJB and Joe Frank! Glad you dig it... that album is impossible to find, but is back to front awesome.

Prison...likely SubPop's most significant release.

And the one most badly in need of a vinyl re-issue.

I would do bad things to get that record.

I just have cassette :(

That's cooler than a CD!

Gautham, looks like it's easy to get on CD if that's your jam. https://www.discogs.com/master/107798-Steven-Jesse-Bernstein-Prison

Thanks Mike will buy it right away. Thanks again..

When i saw mike and Micky on their second to

Last tour

Mike came out and sang this by himself and it was beautiful

Wow, that sounds ... unforgettable.

My favorite Monkee. I saw the original broadcasts.

Well him and Pete Finney on lap steel guitar

Hey Mike, what’s that song u played during the back announce/set break?

Bill is insisting that the super drunk guy in the pool in decline of western civilization 2 is the bass player of ratt. I say it's wasp

Yes, it's the WASP dude in the pool.

Source of my pseudonym.

Might not be the one ur thinking of Gautham, but when Mike plays Fracture by Spectre during certain set breaks it legitimately SCARES MY GF

Oh but he was the guitarist

Gautham, the talkover music in the last set is actually incidental music from the movie "Shaun of the Dead"

Last break, rather.

Also Mike you did not play a hell on earth you played protest & survive!

Damn, I think Spinitron's autofill did me dirty. Will fix. Thanks!

This song has the same beat as your mic break song

Yeah i figured that was what it was!

Christina Billotte rules

Yes!

MINISTRY 🖤

Really great cover!

Agreed.

Hicks.

Yup!

swell selections and sweet segues

Thanks MrM!

All the thanks goes to you, DJ MikeLupica!!

I second that!!

Requested this one on KPC’s Summer theme show but he didnt have it, nice to hear it pop on now!

Chris Bell is so great

Third Man Records is so awesome

hey some of us use our left thumbs all day!

thanks for the doctor cosmo vibes rn

DJ MikeLupica! Another outstanding show! Many thanks! Big cheers! Kind regards to you!

Final Five Mins?! Ugh 😭

Weird is good. Good night.

Tyhanks for the show Mike!!
