The low notes. Love Dry Cleaning !

They really are addicting!

Yay Dry Cleaning!

Hey Jen! 🚥 Hi Brian!

Hi Jen!

Hi Christine and Brian!

Oh yes. We are off to a fine start. An Aussie band on your show eh?

i'm going to see dry cleaning in philly feb 1st

literally working with an actual eddy current suppression ring this week.....

Hey gboss 🎩

Good morning, friends! Aussies, shocker!

@Dave, I think you’ll love it. They were great, and gracious, too!

@gboss, tell me more….

Love that scratchy gtr break that just jumps out

Thanks for mentioning that, @Dave 🍂🍁. I missed Dry Cleaning when they were in Philly last time.

Eddy Currents are useful for heating and melting conductive materials by induction. But you sometimes need to concentrate them so you only heat the target and not the surroundings.

I had no idea, and now will always think of the band as very melty!

yeah me too - won't let that happen again

I heard ECSR's "Which Way to Go" one WPRB one day, and that was it. They went on the List. 🇦🇺

Eddy currents are also useful for non-destructive testing of materials. But the band has much better rhythm.

Hahahaha I agree!

Pumped up on BIG BOYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Wasn’t that a hoot - they’re amazing.

love this song!

Favorite single of last year and 30 years ago ;)

Yeah this fuzzes nicely

Great cover of Kool & the Gang's Hollywood Swinging back there

both of those songs have been on my heavy rotation list. never knew the history of soul patrol. now i like it more!

Another great cover here

the burnside record he did with the blues explosion as his backing band is amazing. ass pocket of whisky.

Oh I didn’t know he had Jon Spencer’s with him on that one! Nice!

I was just telling Bill that you might have the closest to my taste at the station and then you play 3 songs in a row that I own and have played on my show!

Commie, the mind meld is working! Love it!

(hi, Bill!)

And thanks for being here, all! Friday morning is the best morning.

COMETS ON FIRE

perfect morning for comets on fire

Still the greatest 10 minutes of music ever to grace the old WPRB production studio (before the bassist's amp cabinet died and they had to stop)

*turns up volume

Oh @Dan that is awesome and terrible! Love this record

Will have to play the recording on my show before too long. At least we got a pretty great Six Organs of Admittance solo set out of it

I really want to hear both!!

good morning!

Good morning, friend! Just in time for the sonic meandering.

@Jen That can be arranged. I'll email you

this is such a great album

@Dan 😍😍😍🎸

@Dan can that be arranged for others too? Asking for myself.

Oh dang who wants to buy my slugs 7" for hundreds of dollars 🤑🤑🤑

Love our PRB community. 💘

@ Commie hahahaha of COURSE you have it! Wooo!

@gboss Yeah, I think so. Email me: dan (at) wprb (dot) com

Funny story: I met WPRB luminary DJ Mike Lupica via a cry for a rare 7” on air, so you never know what can happen….

these guys were so crazy live

oh sees, that is

synchronized hardcore drumming was something I'd never seen before

I’ll bet! I just missed them 3 times in a row grrrrr.

!!!

if i may borrow from another listens chat game, this exil is a total jam 🚨

Well I have the 2 separate 7"s that comprise the double 7". But yeah wow those went up a lot.

Outstanding!

more great covers

I remember when the couple in Zero Zero ran Black Cat Records. For a few years it was a nice Red Bank alternative to Jack’s Music Shoppe. It closed 11 days before the Attacks. I saw Holly Golightly’s band play in the store. When I spoke of it to Holly a few years ago in Belmar, she didn’t remember. She thought I was talking about the Washington D.C. venue, the Black Cat!

I got this discord collection buried in one of my cd books. gotta revisit

@David that’s some great trivia - I had no idea!

@Colin I hadn’t pried it out in ages…totally worth it.

I saw video of Redd Kross playing that Avengers song live. It was from one of the Flipside Video Fanzine cassettes that Vintage Vinyl carried for customers to rent. I didn't understand why they discontinued that great service.

Wait back up Jen what 7" introduced you to Mike?

You have a memory like a steel tack, @David! That is neat!

@Commie, it was DI covering “Unforgettable Urge” 🤣

It's odd that the whole time I shopped at Black Cat, I didn't know Ari had been in a band called Lifetime. To this day, I've still never heard them!

@David, we will have to rectify that - maybe next week! Terrific hardcore band.

Good morning everyone!

Once again: off of this whole box set I also chose this song

Hahah I love this! @Commie, we need to hang out soon :)

Good morning, @Rob!

The riff on this is just so infectious

did you see fake fruit when they opened for dry cleaning?

There's something about that 90s-esque submerged/shimmery guitar tone

I did see Fake Fruit, and they were SPECTACULAR.

I was so stoked on that band, can’t wait to see them again.

I really wanted to see that tour when it was here but couldn't for some reason

How was dry cleaning? I could see them going either way live

I was so lucky to snag a ticket! It had sold out immediately.

Dry Cleaning was surprisingly super engaging. Guitarist is pretty nuts and fun to watch. But if she had been a jerk, I bet I would have hated it. She was not!

That sounds like a great night!

the show at the church was a blast

@Andrew at The Chapel? That was it!

nah, first unitarian church

Ha got it! Thank you, Unitarians!

Speaking of shows at UU churches, a night of electronic & space music is coming up on Sat 10/8 at the Washington Crossing Unitarian Universalist church. http://cosmiccrossings.org/

The Unitarians really are the best!

They rock.

anyone coming to NOFX at asbury this weekend?????

I will not but hope it’s a blast!

outdoors in the rain!! and decendents too

fat mike said they're retiring next year after 40 years......last chance folks

no but I'll be seeing otoboke beaver indoors!

Those guys can’t actually retire…. And @Andrew, that’s a good one!

these new soulside songs are fantastic

he sounded for real about it....seems like writing was on the wall since they retired Linoleum too

SO GOOD, and I’ll admit that I was skeptical…or more scared, honestly.

@unoclay then I predict lots of hits shall be played!

we might dress up in mullets and make a sign that says PLAY SOME BRUCE to get things fired up

I DARE YOU

@Andrew, that should be a good (deafening) show.

yes! johnny brenda's can be incredibly loud sometimes

i am a little jelly that andrew is gonna got a ticket to otoboke beaver

Thank you DJ Jen Redlights...! 💯

Thanks for the show, Jen!

Thank you, friends! What a fun morning!

fun show!

I don’t plan on paying to see Sunday’s Stone Pony Summer Stage show (even though School Drugs are the openers), but I’m sure to hear it when I shop at the Asbury Park Punk Rock Flea Market in Bradley Park. The 5:30 afterparty at the Bond Street Complex features Long Defeats, Mala Vista, Tiki Torture and the great O.C. Rippers.

Oh wow, this is going to be quite a weekend! Have so much fun, all. See you next week!

otoboke just announced new shows in February!

Great show Jen!

great show, jen!

On Saturday night, the Buzzcocks' Steve Garvey is playing in some band at the Asbury Park Yacht Club.

Thanks, you guys! Shows!!

Roger from the Byrds is at Monmouth U on Saturday too!
