Oct 22, 2022 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM

Music

With Commie Francis

Music from all different genres from the 1910s to the 2020s. On a lyrical theme for the first two hours, FREEFORM MADNESS for the last hour.

Feet

63547588c4948.jpeg

Here it is! The show that got me solicited for feet pix on twitter (sorry but no), the show that has me making way too many "and did those feet in ancient times" jokes. Songs about FEET!

As usual 8-10pm themed, 10-11pm unthemed

Not usual, it's WPRB's Fall quiet drive! I am so proud to have the privilege to play music for a bunch of random strangers on this weird lil radio station! I love that the spirit of freeform no holds barred broadcast radio lives in Central NJ! I love the way many of you aren't strangers anymore, not really, and the fact that you all do me the great compliment of tuning in to hear what I have to play. I am a listener too and I don't know what I would do without this station.

If you're already supporting WPRB as we stand on the verge of another new and exciting set of challenges and opportunities, THANK YOU.

If you'd like to start, and have the means: pledge.wprb.com

Bob Sherman (GM@WNBC,NYC), not "Bobby Sherman" was a friend. But I still think Of Bobby Sherman and Shaun Cassidy as in the same sentence when describing my youth music.
Commie Francis (host) 10:31:11 PM
i can definitely see the association. i have a soft spot for bobby, i like his weird manly voice
Rofflestomp (Sonar Donor) 10:31:53 PM
He was a dude of the those days for sure.
Commie Francis (host) 10:32:22 PM
the first place i lived on my own i lived on a sunporch with very 70s wood paneling and i had that foldout record cover of bobby sherman up on the wall
Commie Francis (host) 10:32:38 PM
it was the mid 90s, 70s retro was very in
Richard Lyons (1) 10:33:51 PM
aaawooooo
Rofflestomp (Sonar Donor) 10:35:40 PM
LOL, so cool! I am 70's retro at this point. :) But yea, he was a Teen Magazine headliner for sure in the day.
Rofflestomp (Sonar Donor) 10:40:44 PM

For the last couple of years i love that there are student dj's having at the stacks for the first time. they have been digging out great ol' records. missed that element during the thing.
C🎃lin 10:49:40 PM
catching up on the chat, my older sister had a couple of casidy posters on her wall.
Rofflestomp (Sonar Donor) 10:50:16 PM
I would trade real gold to wader the stacks with a candle and a fire extinguisher.
Commie Francis (host) 10:50:43 PM
i had a birthday show at my house in like.... 1999 and one of the bands brought leif garrett and some of my slightly older friends lost their minds
Commie Francis (host) 10:51:49 PM
it was when he was touring with the melvins and they played with them and buddied up with him i guess
Commie Francis (host) 10:52:17 PM
he was telling me happy birthday and my like 7 foot tall crust punk buddy threw himself at him while quoting the outsiders
C🎃lin 10:53:35 PM
that sounds like a hell of a birthday party
Commie Francis (host) 10:54:05 PM
it was pretty wild. one of the bands was setting off car alarms outside
jimonthlydonorbeaux 10:54:12 PM
Awesome. Fantabulous show, as always!
Commie Francis (host) 10:54:31 PM

Rofflestomp (Sonar Donor) 10:54:50 PM
I am going to go out on a limb and guess you do birthdays rather cool fashion.
