Stand up, pipe down.

Greetings and Salutations!

MrM! Good to see ya back here.

DJ MikeLupica! Nice! Glad to be here with ya!

Does “full name” include my confirmation name?

is there more reverb on the vocals than usual, Mike?

Hi Mike. I don't eat bacon, but I'll pass on the vegetarian bacon bits.

Spatulize us, MIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!

Spatulize me, captain!

Sebastian, just getting my Cousin Brucie on for an opening volley. From here out, my good taste shall prevail.

Mary, absolutely.

It's a Wednesday evening

Commie!

Reverb is a classique move

Dog bless Steve Earle

Spoetzelize us while y'at it

nice! it definitely had that 101.5 feel

i dig the 'verb though.

Commie F. I don't have the hammer and sickle on my keyboard for some reason?

Ahh, yes. White Grievance Manchild FM as I like to call it!

Just my ears or does this sound a ton like the Grifters?

I had to Google it, copy paste and program it in

I can see that Jon

I saw Steve Earle on the subway once. I was too chickenshit to say hi to him, but I did take a creeper pic of him w/ my phone. HIS phone, incidentally, had a hammer and sickle on it.

He was taking a creeper pic of YOU!

Let's hear it for the glorious accessories of the people

LOL Jimbeaux.

I took a Creeper pic of Mark Riley.

UNSUBSCRIBE

I saw Willem Dafoe on the subway but i didn't have a cell phone yet. He had a glow to him

I believe it.

3/4 away from a previously discussed Wednesday bingo with the new Chris Forsyth!

vegetarian bacon bits are the business and I heart the heck outta them

I didn't register who he was at a first, i just noticed a glowing golden man

solidarity

Willem Dafoe has that glow from keeping that lighthouse.

And all those drugs he done.

That lighthouse movie definitely felt like a prophecy fulfilled to me

I still haven't summoned the energy to watch that. I know it'll be great, but I also know it will be very taxing.

I heart Willem Dafoe too

I loved it but it was a lot

Forsyth is the Rosetta Stone of the Wednesday lineup

Mr m have you seen his episode of fishing with John?

I loved it, but I can understand putting it off. Still recommend it.

Michael, I'll sign on for that!

It will make you like him very much

I mean even more

Nice start to the show, DJ MikeLupica!

Thanks MrM!

Wow, DJ CommieFrancis! Gotta see that entire show!

the LYRICS Rn aF

This Why Bother record is on its way to being a fave

This song reminds me of Echo & the Bunnymen, somehow. (Which isn't something that any of their other songs made me think of.)

Which gives me an idea...

Curious 🤨

HeyOoo!!

ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN❣️ 1979⁉️

i see what you did there, Mike. anyone going to see Echo & the Bunnymen in Philly next week?

With skips to spare!

When I'm feeling down i look for articles to read about the period when bill Drummond was the manager of echo and the bunnymen

@Sebastian, yes this show gets very high concept. 😉

this doesn’t sound like other ECHO/BUNNYMEN some how

it’s a totes BOP

Hey yo Mike! Jello Pitsacrewsions!

'79 was pretty early, Mr.M

*hello*

Yo Ambrose! Welcome!

What’d you call me, Ambrose Hughes?! L0LZ. JelloShots to YOU!

Mike have you checked out that jimetta rose and voices of creation album yet? I am very hyped on it

Heheh! Mr.M💀

@Commie, yes! Played the Funkadelic cover from it 2 weeks ago!

That transition was beyond clean

Stroke

Ahh, the ol' Lava La Rue---> Billy Squier trick. Total amateur move.

First ever, undoubtedly.

ahhhhhh...

THIS!

🚨 GO BERSERK ALERT 🚨

preach

Recent rescue from early 2000s MP3 External Hard Drive Storage Locker #6662881!

Good on ya, DJ MikeLupica!

Thoroughly have no idea what is going on.

(That is a compliment.)

AY YO

Flowdan Alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

fIREHOSE did the upper v. lower case thing first. I took my pseudonym from Mike.

BERSERK SET

I think if you look up the lyrics to this on genius it's just a picture of Willem Dafoe flipping the bird.

Warning Warning jamaican curse words

Play it twice then until I learn ‘em!!

Hi, DJ SelectaJerry!

@Jon, Hello! I heard the NEW Crack Cloud today and wondered if you had also?

Guess whst

My mp3s are SORTED

I have not, Ambrose!

@Jon, you will like ...I think!

My desktop screen is flooded with mp3s from the year so far hahah

Three different songs from the same record though!

I think it's a re-up of Side B radio after TB, that'll be sick

They're touring with The OC's, imagine that Show!😳

I have a big mess of a download folder but stuff I've had for a long time is super sorted and the punk folder is sorted geographically

John Cale!!!

haha! i liked that in-joke of Marvin Rosen hypothetically playing a Chris Forsyth record on wprb

Speaking of tours, leopardo is playing new Brunswick Friday!!!

Mp3 blogs are a rare sight but exist! A few albums I heard on the station were only available on there since the artists never bothered to release their work digitally

Lowell George plays on this album. Easy to hear on Macbeth.

Was GONNA play Macbeth. Isn't the whole backup band Little Feat?

I think so.

Marvin Rosen will surprise you and throw down some Lithuanian minimalist mediaeval choral doom once in a while

And for that, we love him.

That's why he's OUR classical guy

I wonder if Marvin's ears are burning from coming up in the chat so much today

i love marvin!!!

didn't PRB used to be classical EVERY weekday AM until 11?

this one is AWESOMESAUCE

jimbeaux, I think you are correct.

Jimbeaux, yes.

Hey Rob!

Howdy Mike and everyone!

was never a classical fan until i got hooked on DJ He Who Shall Not Be Named fuming about architectural excrecense and saying extended hello to all the mail carriers

His initials weren't TNT fer nothin'...

Dynomite!

ohhhhh...and so many love crackles on vintage classical vinyl and recordings of wax cylinders

More people should use the word excrescence.

Oh my goodness this song is very much of an era

Yeah, the era when everyone wanted to be Ted Leo!

This could be brand new.

I had an accident with a time machine and a copy of Punk Planet

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣

swanky disco skanky

It is a VERY GOOD THING that I don't have the studio webcam running right now.

Is it a good thing? I mean for us your audience?

Not a great dancer?

Was that TheLogLady??? 🪵

I assume you ate something today, Mary? And would prefer not to see it again? In that case, you don't wanna see me dancing.

L0LZ

🕺🏻🤮

I never dance at weddings, I just hang around and bother the DJ

LOL

I'll be at food or chilling with amusing people at party events

Wedding? Party event? I’m busy that day

I did dance at my wedding. Which was DJ'd by a WPRB personality, but I think we've covered that here before and I'm sure one of you remembers

... which DJ it was.

Marvin Rosen

Factorial ✅

This is not the album version of this song!

Bingo!

Sorry, it's the "Elton John" version.

Going to my first wedding in a month. Gonna be 29 ain't never been to a wedding before

YARD ACT 💟

Totally OK. Apparently Elton John was talking about Floating Points today? Hey, good for him!

So good

When’s the divorce scheduled? @TAndy 😝🤣

HAILU MERGIA❣️

Swag Tandy, appropriate place for a birthday!

Favourite Moment

The wedding is not on my birthday, that's next Saturday 😝

Hogfat?

I have an uncle that looks like George Benson!

Saturday the 10th or 17th?

Seventeen :)

Noted

Oof. Rough segue.

i thought i heard billy squier when i was in the car - -- wel i was right

i can't figure out the rest of it

ok it was john cale i get it now

Help i just had a magical radio moment

Kendra? Yeah, that song's good for that.

her voice is...opalescent

WestSiiidddeee!

Darn phone call interrupting mah show…

Please indulge the vintage twang... Got a few numbers like this pulled out, figured I'd pile 'em up.

Hellz Yeeaahh!!

We'll get back to SOUNDS MODERNE in hour three, I assure you.

yeah lets do it mix it up

I C WAT U DID THERE JIMBEAUX

Luvin the 45s❣️ 🧿🎶🎵

HISSY HISSY HISSY

One too many.

The hiss is the cherry on top

This song is so astonishingly fucked up I can't even.

stop eavesdroppin on my prayin'

Fabulous set here 🔥🔥🔥

Songs by orphans have nothing on "Christmas songs sung by children it turns out are dead." There's more than two!

Thanks Jerry!

JON! JEEZ!!

Tears in my beer.

playlist: songs from the vantage point of SURPRISE! I'M DEAD.

Hey, I didn't write those songs Mike!

Yes, that's what you told me to tell the cops.

That’s up there with a song they kept playing when I was a kid called “Dear Mister Jesus” about a girl who’s being abused, sung by a kid.

Oof.

channeling Alan Vega here...

THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA...

Love this jimbeaux “ i like my 7" singles dredged in cornmeal and sallied across the dance flooooooor”😄

I played that Marty Robbins on Saturday (Richard noticed!)

yeooooo Selecta!

most dances i went to growing up with cornmeal/cornstarch on the floor were POLKA dances, not C&W!

yooooo best set break song everrrr

so groovy

Commie, absolutely. Devil woman...

On top of YOUR TV!?!?!

Clawhammer too!

Oooo wprb news !!!

Preach DJ!

🔥🔥🔥

Wonderful

That'll be excellent!

I heard they found an ww2 underground bunker out in pine barrens.

YAY!

tan, lol the free wifi van!

hahaha

I hope there will be a Second Space Naming Contest.

I missed on some words for that mic break due to a work meeting, but am I safe to assume that the new studio is another step into the WPRB² stream?

all real estate speculation aside, that is AWESOME!

Double shot!!!!!!

that is exciting news, plus the idea of a second wprb music library collection beginning is pretty neat.

Yes, TAndy -- WPRB2 is still in the works!

@Jon, yes, agree. I hate calling it "The Second Space"

>8)

I LIKE THAT OSSY

The Barge has a certain ring to it...

MrM Radio = Pirate Radio

Offshore pirate radio barge commanded by monkeys.

Agree, I kind of like The Barge. Maybe we can adopt one of those stupid slogans: YOU'RE LISTENING TO 103.3 THE BARGE

NEW HORSE LORDS OMG

MY EARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heavens to Murgatroyd!!

budgieeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Gimme Gimme Gimme!!! Numero ❤️‍🔥

Budgie indeed

Budgie has quite a few songs about bread

But really, I mean, hands up who doesn't like bread.

I honestly luv to eat bread 🍞

There's wheat in the fields, and water in the stream. And salt in the mines, and an aching in me. For BREAD

We are all breadfans

🍞

🎵 Peanut butter and jelly time 🎵 and dance like Penny Proud from Proud Family! 🤎

🥖

the bread is the most important part of a good sandwich. DISCUSS.

Lambsbread 💨💨💨

Had lunch from a vegan restaurant yesterday and the bread ... didn't suck!

Showing up to the final 15 minutes, whuts up Mike whuts up pit crew

Looks like bread is whuts up

I haven't heard this in 30 years.

oh my GOD

*just googled, is bread vegan

Summoned!

Excellent stuff here, sir Michael.

I was driving home from South Jersey listening to your program. Man, great driving music! Great show! Hi all you people.

Thanks Esoterica, and awesome Kevin!

what THE BURNING HELL is goin on, ya Barbaríans?!?

Colin, is it not?

Hi, DJ Esoterica!

hi kev, I do love when i have to do a drive and freeform pathogen is on.

Listened to Jon too on the way down. Excellent!

Howdy, mr.m! And everyone!

Yes, Colin!

most bread is, nan is not. that's what i learned in my 2.3 seconds of research.

naan got that yo in the dough

Great program tonight had me up and at em all evening respect due Mike 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Roti is vegan though!

Brioche usually has egg

if there is yo, jus say noooooo

flour water salt yeast

I am so glad I played Breadfan tonight!

Gboss !

@Jerry, is that a "big up" or a "hail up"?

final 8 minutes. Crying, sobbing, etc...

yeast have souls

Whatever you need it to be sir

*also, just googled roti

Roti is delicious Colin

Yeast is a living organism tho…

Annie's Hot On D Spot in Hamilton is a good roti spot if you're ever in the mood. I'm pretty sure they have a vegetatian option

feels like camper van

Tons of veg options at Annie’s. Good spot!

Brown sugar in west Philly has tons of veg/vegan roti options (the west Indian kind)

i live at Annie's! Or feel like it...

Noice

STOP.

There's a new spot near me which opened called Roti Plus, across from the Quick Chek on S. Olden and Cedar. Never been there but reviews are good

Final Five Mins! I’m cry

Nice new avatar, TAndy

Thanks Kevin! New season, new >:)

very short term goals, fill my belly with roti

Thx for Annie’s tip. I just followed them on Instagram. Hopefully I remember to go there!

It’s funny I’ll hear a song a million times, but it’s special hearing it on the radio.

I was originally referring to the kind of roti they have at North Indian restaurants though.

I personally go for the boneless chicken roti wrap. Goat is good but the bones are a chore. But I could live off their doubles if I could.

Agree, Mary.

An alternative to naan

I'm all coffeed up and I have to somehow sleep by midnight

TAndy...Roti Plus was started by a nephew of Annie's original owner, Roy.

@Commie Hi! Caught that line fro Son Of A Baker👍

TAndy, may need to go there to figure out what Peanut Punch is!

https://www.rotipluscr.com/menu#h.iajca6jd7xif

WHAAAAT. @Jimbeaux that's sick, gonna def have to try them!

Belt it out, Mike!

Love Aunt Annie's...and Cinnabon for the matter, Jim!

It is my dream to assemble a choir to sing song of a baker

kev, a what the [ ] dance party should wear you out by midnight

COUSIN MIKEY

;}

When I used to work in S. Jersey, my Trini coworker would have me pick up $200 orders of food from them for him to save for the future. Loved going on Saturdays and getting some currants rolls <3
