S-A-DAY-DAY

AHHHH YEAHHHH

woo

Congrats on your shows last weekend!!

thanks they were fun!

We were there in spirit (haunted)

there's a ghost chat that follows me everywhere

Heheheh

KANETAKIT

fun fact phinehas was named by CT cult leader brother julius

Related to Orange Julius?

the cult owned a huge real estate company but no mall drink stands that i know of

Will we hear "Nostalgia for an Age That Never Existed" by the Toadliquors?

i have it in my folder but i was planning on saving it for next show. i haven't screened it

I just thought of my favorite song by the New Animals: "When I Was Young".

Miriam Linna recorded her version of that Rolling Stones song on her Norton Records label in 2014.

which rolling stones song?

"Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind". Recorded in 1964, released in 1975 on the "Metamorphosis" compilation.

oh i didn't realize that was a cover! how bout that

it sounds so vashti-y

ooolookout records

this compilation was actually just reissued on slumberland records

I never heard of those Astronauts. I only know of the Boulder surf (!) combo who recorded “Baja” and "Tomorrow's Gonna Be Another Day".

Astronauts nostalgia: https://youtube.com/watch?v=EO_pOYfsJk4

nice!

there are lots of astronautses!

oops i thought this was an instrumental lol

We driving home from PA and listening

here's some prog for ya!

Peter Hammil of Van Der Graf Generator!

yep! i think it's from the early 2000s?

Hello on from Back Down Memory Lane!

hi ossy! also hi everyone else, sorry i am a bit distracted tonight!

It's natural, being caught up with something amazing!

Memory Lane, btw is a lovely song by Minnie Riperton

absolutely a contender

neutral milk hotel trombone at the end of that kinks song

YEP

on the TCQ

also, "neutral milk hotel trombone at the end of that kinks song"

"Questioningly" is another song Miriam Linna covered in 2014!

it stands to reason she has good taste!

Hello Commie F!

Nips!😊

hi bo! are you here to request the entire catalog of the jam?

Haha!😝

i have thick as thieves but i don't know if i'll get to it this time

i'm doing a part 2 though

3 points to anyone who can ID the singer of that last song who didn't already know (and didn't google it)

Three hours might not be enough time.

Shane McGowan

you already knew!

I did tbh.

I have had a SUBSTANTIAL chocolate croissant. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

wild night!

Sam Peckinpah’s “Salad Days”: https://vimeo.com/148525644

that was definitely my introduction to salad days!

High notes!🎵😳

That's Maya Rudolph's angelic cute mama for ya!

💜🤍♥️🤍♥️💜minnnnnnnniiieeeeeeee

yeah every once in a while i hear maya rudolph sing and i'm like oh RIGHT

😍this song!

Yeah Commie, Maya even imitated her mother in one SNL skit of dressing like her in jean overalls and holding ice cream! Erykah Badu also did homage to Minnie like that in her music video "Honey"!

😍😊

@Commie have you ever heard the outtake of this?

i don't think so

It's PW solo

Howdy Doody actually was brought back several years later, but not successfully.

Seventies kids couldn't relate.

how the hell are ya

ha :)

Ray Davies was 21 when he sang "Where Have All the Good Times Gone"!

the partisans have a song called only 21 which is literally about feeling nostalgic when you are only 21

operation mindfuck-ah

swears...oh my stars

i figure i'll subtitle it in here

infinity nostalgia

all this for look-ah back-ah bores

marc e smith school of close-captioning-eh

Is this what Billy Childish ripped off for "Girl From '62"?

Ghost Town and Come Dancing

i feel like billy and chronic disorder were probably ripping off the same thing

i seriously doubt he has heard them although who knows

🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹 modern 🤍🖤🖤🤍🤍🤍🖤🖤🖤🖤

Operation Mindfuck is something from Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson’s Illuminatus! trilogy. I only read the first part, “The Eye in the Pyramid”. I barely understood it so I went no further.

bye bye

it's hard for me not to belt this one

yesssss⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

i'm not gonna sing along on the radio though, that's readie's thing

Joan Baez wrote this about Dylan, right?

OH yeah

priest took out some of the more specific identifying parts

For the next nostalgia program, maybe we can hear some cover versions of Carroll O'Connor and Jean Stapleton’s "Those Were the Days" (if there are any).

haha i played the original on something or other, might have been the memories show

soooogooood

Commie - For earlier of mentioning Minnie and me of Philly stations, she is often played by them like wdas and classic philly, very mostly her Loving You, Wdas also plays some of her rare songs aside from that and Memory Lane

Oh shit lost FM broadcast

aw heck. is it the bad news music?

or just nothing?

good on line

I've lost you!

Nothing

Static

ok on tune in

letting the appropriate people know!

Hey y'alls, what time did FM go down?

10:11

OK. Working on it.

thanks Mike!

10:10

in the meantime, you can listen online!

No interruption on streams, right?

not here

Back

Back on!

woof

All good within sight of the tower. No wormholes.

Back like Slim Eminem!

Thanks for the field reports, PRB fam! We kicked the transmitter and said some bad words -- seemed to do the trick.

mike lupica transmitter puncher

percussive maintenance for the win

woof

Thank Mike!

lol everything i think to play is on feel it tonight

welcome to the feel it records showcase

perfect

Spllllitt was liiiiiiiiiiiit🧠

The transmitter is currently running on firewood and pallets...

I had company over earlier and like 32x i thought, omg the show is so good tonight, i want to log in a say yo, it's so good, but they gone now so yo, show so good.

thanks Colin! i hope your company liked it too!

it would be kind of funny if they didn't but you made them listen to it anyway

nobody complained/definite dancing!

it may have been only me, but definite dancing

4 out of 5 doctors recommend dancing

we played rummy 500. back in college a small group of friends and i had semester long rummy 500 version game. funny you did a nostalgia theme as i was being nostalgic about rummy

mmm rum

WPRB has played a lot of Why Bother? lately. It reminds me of R. Crumb’s “Despair”.

agrees with TAn

david that is great, and why bother is great also! it's definitely a wprb hit

loves that doctor who episode that takes place on a cold war russian sub. once of the russians who when he learns the doctor is from the future is only concerned about the future of ultra vox more than any thing else.

i had a weird psychic moment this evening, i usually check the playlist before mine to make sure they're not playing anything i was planning on playing. i looked at horsewater's playlist then thought very intently about sending a message to everyone saying i find it helpful to do that. i was composing the message. and THEN horsewater played the sea moss song i was planning on playing tonight!!!

i was composing it in my head that is

cosmic saturday night!! is that a future theme? also, i'm so glad horsewater is back on the air

Final 8 minutes????? I cry.....

i could just play synchronicity 10000 times

haha tandy i saw you get the math wrong

|:)

this is one of the first songs i recorded off wprb to cassette in the late 80's

aw!

Sssssssuper show COMMMMNNIIIIEEEEEE🏁🏁🏁

that was bill's suggestion when i needed a 1 minute song a few shows ago. and i needed a 1 minute song again (i played what we do is secret last time)

and it was that moment i feel in love with AS and that love is tried and true to this day.

it is un classique

Don't leave us hanging, Colin. What was the name of that Doctor Who episode?

it's called cold war!

<<< nerd

Saturday nights always rock in the sound of Philadelphia and Princeton! Big ups for the play of Minnie Riperton's Memory Lane and shout out!

lol, the episode is called cold war

i just looked it up.

commie, fasta on the draw

A thoroughly enjoyable show tonight Commie, thank very much!

i just remembered with my brain colin

hell yeah based outro song

thanks bo, thanks everyone for listening!

U KNOW IT TANDY

i actually had a weird dream i had to sing it in public, before i decided to outro-ify it

and i couldn't remember all the words but i tried.

Bye frenz

bye everyone, cj time!!
