Jon Solomon Wed Oct 26 with Jon Solomon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Welcome on in to my Fall 2022 Membership Drive special, The Night Is Young! pledge.wprb.com

Whoa, three shows of Neil Young covers!

Excited for this!

Sup Jon Solomon!!!!

Right now, ~2.5 but I expect more covers will appear soon...

Hello! Hello! Hello!

Imagine if you found Neil Young covering 'the death of pop' for the show opener?!

That would be a true Möbius strip.

Indubitably!

Minds would bend in like fashion for sure.

Miriam Linna’s version of "There Goes My Babe", please.

The night is young, but will be extra sweet after the gold rush of pledges

Here we go!

Evenin' Jon!

👨‍🍳♥️💅👶 (nail young)

@David S if you could please send me that request via email I will try and get to it next week / the week after. Tonight's playlist is pretty tightly locked.

No artist / song repeats this week.

There comes a time to play all Neil Young covers, and tonight is the night (okay, I’ll stop…maybe)

There comes a time to visit pledge.wprb.com and tonight is the night! (how's that, Liz?)

Great to have you all in the chat tonight.

Good evening! Florry sounding really nice and toasty tonight

Florry have 4x covers on their NY EP. Link in the playlist. Good evening indeed!

Now I wonder if Neil hamburger has ever covered Neil Young

That's....my....Life (Geffen, 1987)

Ever hear of The Krinkles? Buddy? Gotta get down!... to it....

@Jon, is this show dedicated to just Neil Young's solo songs or are you expanding on that?

Maybe covers only by artists whose names include either "Neil" or "young"???

Hello everyone!

@Ambrose, a bit of everything. Didn't really think about where the songs were from when putting sets together. Like, I know one cover is best-recalled as a Buffalo Springfield track but the artist who recorded it was thinking of a solo live version when they started the tape rolling...

Hey, Mary!

@Jon - You’d be a crazy horse not to pledge!

Hi Mary!

Hey everybody!

Dennis too! How ya feeling?

@Mary - Say Hi to Dennis the howling soup wolf through the door of his chamber from me

hi Dennis!

Hello fellow Rusties

Up and down today.

@liz arooooo!!!

Well, looks like I don’t have to translate into wolf for now

🐺

Sneeps! love that version of Cinnamon Girl. also, hi Jon

I just donated to the station

I take it back

@dennis - I’m enjoying the cartoons. I hope you can rejoin society and leave your solitary Wolfen quarters soon

I wasn't sure if I should change the band name there to Sneeps or not.

Thanks so much for the donation, Rob. If you want to follow Rob's lead it is easy and secure (not to mention tax-deductible) at pledge.wprb.com. You'll be done well-before this song concludes.

oh wow, that might have been before they started using it. :) i love Christy's voice so much

Psych Pill! Love this one

First time I heard Ramada Inn I felt like I'd known it my whole life. Was profound.

Hi Sebastian! (And Rob, Dan R, Brian D, Ambrose, Emeril, Roffle, et. al.!)

Hey Sebastian! Thanks for covering all the greetings, LizBot.

I had to come check the playlist it sounded so much like the original, and it is!

Ha! I do have a cover of this more recent song on deck for next week...

Heard that Garcia Peoples Tonight's the Night on this here fine show in the past 12 months or so

Donating Sustaining Monthly, (also a good name for newsletter)

Hiya Lizbot! Hiya everyone!

I allowed myself one original every other set (if I felt like it).

"Allowed."

Hey Roffle.

@jon- I aim to serve

How about 3 hours of cinnamon girl covrrs, ala ice bear?

And I hope we might hear something that "shimmers"in this series......

Good to know the rules of the show! Psychedelic Pill is on of my fave NYCH albums glad to hear it represented!

@Justin, I could do probably do three hours of Cortez the Killer. I wonder what song I have collected the most versions of these past three weeks.

Oh yeah Mr Martsch. & co doing Cortez. Heard that on wprb before.

i love seeing NYCH on the Psych Pill tour in 2012 with Patti Smith opening. it was so good we went twice

@Justin the Tuluum Shimmering Cinnamon Girl will get you 20% of the way there!

Howdy all in the chat!

*loved

This is a favorite.

Tuluum Cinnamon was a great Wed eve Car Wash audio moment for me when Jon aired it

2012 hard to believe…

Tuluum is in the mix. Was going to use as break music but then I discovered the selections you'll hear under my voice.

@Jon- I'm guessing a bit of googling would find 2 or 3 3 hour versions of Cortez, which would be an event of its own

Guess I'm gonna have to listen to Psychedelic Pill now

The longest Cortez I have is 21 minutes.

This is not the longest track of the night, but the longest track of the night is not a Cortez the Killer cover! #intrigue #suspense

Or maybe it *is* the longest track of the night! #forgottocheck #doublingback

@Jon what’s the longest track you’ve ever played?

Straight through?

Sure

Probably just south of 90 minutes? I think I played something this year that was in the 75-80 minute range.

I did ask someone at Bandcamp to find me the longest song in their system (it was a 2.5 hour guitar solo) and I used it as bed music one week. It has since vanished!

Meters <3

75 dollar bill covering snaildartha

Pat, do give them any ideas!

Osees live track was a long one. Good stuff too

I think that was a measly 50 minutes or so?

90 minutes is wild.

I'll check my digital library when I am off-air! I have an hour+ thing saved for a future show, but the right week hasn't happened yet.

meters do Birds nicely. Cabbage Alley. Great l.p.

2.5 is an opera.

This was a listener suggestion I very much appreciate. Also on my friend Shakey Mike's covers playlist he was kind enough to share.

LOOOOOve this Birds cover 🐦

Man this is good

Idea for a future show: alternating Feelies covers with Killdozer covers.

nice. i was hoping this Feelies cover would get played!

Ram perfect for drive home

Feelies are playing Anchor Club in AC next month

We hope to make a night of it!

Sedan Delivery is a good job if you can find it

I really want to go, but already have a ticket for Trey Anastasio elsewhere (womp womp)

Leaning Feelies

Feelies! simply because i have million Feelies live recordings with a million different covers but none by killdozer

Hi Liz Bot!!

where does this 8bit "Heart of Gold" music bed come from?

And hi everyone!

Man, I miss this guy a lot. Had a dream he and his whole family were in recently.

Sebastian, I searched YouTube / Soundcloud for "Neil Young" + "8 bit" and those were two of the better finds.

"Terre T's show"? Thanks for reminding me. Gotta change the station in a few minutes.

Hi Rob! 🐦 🦢 🐦

Please send along my regards should you turn the virtual dial.

Feelies all the way

The Feelies are a medal podium band for me, but I am unexpectedly leaning Killdozer's covers.

This is so good.

Thursday Jon, remember to rip Karl's cover of "Out On The Weekend" tomorrow. Thanks, Wednesday Jon.

8-bit Rockin In The Free World: https://youtu.be/kVye2kO-YWc

Hi Liz Bot 🦜 🦅

Now you ain’t crazy, I know you ain’t crazy…

Thanks, Wesley!

always nice to hear Karl's voice

Indeed.

I only knew of one Neil young cover and it’s by Poolside-Harvest Moon. I didn’t realize there were so many covers. Jon great show so far.

Good evening everyone!

I don't know if I've heard the Poolside version. Will try and check it out!

Heya James!

This one was a total happy accident Bandcamp find. Blew me away.

Yeah I love this vibe for it, kinda reminds me of someones thoughts going while taking a long drive

The other side is even longer but the On The Beach lyrics don't come in until the end, felt it didn't work as well for tonight's theme.

"On The Beach" but if it was a Trans outtake instead...

Yo Jon! This is one helluva cover of On The Beach!

Sebastian, bingo!

Speaking of Trans...

nice sequencing, Jon!

If anyone reading this is looking to record covers for week two / week three of The Night Is Young and wants to see a list of covers already represented to find a song that isn't on my list...reach out.

Sebastian has also sent a few things my way you'll hear these shows. Thank you, sir!

This one was very hard to find.

Did the 1959 post-apocalyptic movie “On the Beach” inspire that Neil Young song? Or for that matter, the Revillos song?

Wow!

no problem, Jon. i'm very passionate about Neil too. We're approaching the 30th anniversary of the release of Harvest Moon which i bought on cassette at the Bridgewater Commons Mall after hearing the title track on MTV. It was my 1st album of his and it's what got me into Neil. So the timing on this show is right!

Not available digitally for some reason. Shakey Mike coming through!

Also Neil's birthday on 11/12 I've since been reminded...

yes, this YLT is a deep cut of a deep cut. i figured YLT had done some neil but couldn't think of anything in particular!

This Mr. Soul cover is only on the 5x7" version of For Ladies Only (which was a celebratory Discogs purchase after the 2020 election was decided).

Many reasons to celebrate after the 2020 election

Pausing my sheet pan paneer Tikka to exclaim KILLDOZER

Two covers in one!

I think we're having minestrone. White beans were cooking all afternoon.

Weird. Not sure what happened to that file. I'll review after the show!

Hell yes! I love this Menahan street band/Charles Bradley cover RIP CB

I've also wondered whether Neil Young was referencing the On the Beach book/movie

Exclaim it, Jimbeaux!

My first Neil show was w Crazy Horse . 1986 Spectrum. Mr Soul was the opener. Billy Talbot on Keytar Bass. Loved how quirky and wild and anachronistic they are. Crazy Horse Live From a Rusted Out Garage Tour. Eye opening ear opening. Neill prowling the stage like a madman

Jon, in the course of the 3 weeks have you figured out if any Neil album(s) will get covered in their entirety?

Southern Pacific! Ode to the rail rode

Sebastian, I did consider trying to do a "full Zuma" or similar.

The band playing now did cover that record in full live...

Lost my digital fles of Wayne & Prarie School Freakout when a hard drive crashed. Lost a year's worth of digital music. What's weird is that the hard drive he one that crashed replaced, came back to life, or I would have lost everything.

Believe they're both on Bandcamp now, thankfully.

Sorry to hear that.

This and maybe Motor City (Who's driving my car..) got a bit of airplay from the re-ac-tor record

Old band mate wanted to do a live Zuma at John and Peter's w cast of other New Hope / Lambertville &elsewhere friends

One day...

Jon this has been a real treasure. I was listening in the gym and there was a good sign tonight because I was able to get WPRB over the air in my car radio on the drive home

Great show Jon! Eleventh Dream Day got my attention :)

Vicky is listening too but the WPRB chat is very user unfriendly so she can't login

FWIW, I got a new credit card and I just updated it this week so WPRB can get my monthly donation :-)

Awesome. I did the data entry on that on Monday and I actually have a question for you I'll ask off-chat.

Love the low key Tonight’s The Night slip in

Richard, their entire Zuma show is on YouTube and quite good. I suspect you'll hear a song or two form it next week...

Well well well. Wheelhouse! Hello!

Can we expect Ty Segall’s version of The Loner?

You can!

As long as I keep the mic breaks short, tonight even!

Hello Woosa Wednesday WPRBians!!

I’m getting Neil a life size Carmichael figurine for his birthday

That's a very generous gift.

Revolution blues!

You might need the high res. version to see it but here's my favorite easter egg from the header graphic: Look on the table to find a Pono playing WPRB.

https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/312167801_533325685277970_24264322824345976_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=tjWiJj55I9AAX9EGMlA&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=00_AfAZgn6r5LIviR3-Mjj-HJy_41R8zTFp2dvenhzzn0vutg&oe=635F5D25

I think I saw that. My bandcamp purchases have gotten overwhelming lately. I find myself sweating on bandcamp fridays.

Forgot all about this great cover by Lee R!

my favorite Neil young cover is Neil young covering the Neil young composition from Buffalo Springfield “Mr Soul” on Trans

My friend Ike (Hi, Ike!) has a shirt with "10,000,000 Dune Buggies Coming Down The Mountain" on it in a large type.

Isley 💙💙💙

That counts Wheelhouse!

Can we get a WPRB sponsored screening of Rust Never Sleeps and Human Highway, double feature

I can ask our contacts at the Garden Theater. I've never seen the former actually (it is on my list).

Oh man, Human Highway is incredible. Neil Young fever dream with Devo and peak Dennis Hopper

I have both bookmarked but finding the time has proven more difficult than I hoped.

this Matt Besser track is amazing. tank you

Anyone here ever see Muddy Track?

Setting the mood for the Christmas show!!

hmmmm this tune would be fitting for your Xmas show, Jon

My lone crossover track in my library (as of now).

You don’t wanna hear Neil’s version of Last Christmas

came to the playlist just to make sure this wasn't really Neil...

Ha. Welcome aboard, Ben.

O ya. Lil BB8 hiding hee hee

For anyone joining us for the first time tonight, WPRB is listener-supported independent entity and there are many "thank you" items available in return for your tax-deductible donations at pledge.wprb.com. So many great shows on our airwaves of which this just one!

We mentioned Neil Hamburger earlier... and Matt Besser another one of my favorite prank phone call comedians. But Matt did it the other way round on his "May I Help You Dumb A--?" He kept getting wrong number calls during that era of the "free online cd rom" etc. He pretended he was customer support from the company and f-d with the people gloriously.

(Missing an "an" in my last post but the sentiment stands.)

This updated recording of a cover I already planned on playing is so new I got the file earlier today!

Ahh one of my favorite Buffalo Springfield songs!

The pride of Michiana!

Neil oversaw the Buffalo Springfield reissues of last decade and wow do they sound great!

Yes, very grateful for that. Loving this cover too!

indeed dreamy

It's been 20 years or more since I saw Matt Besser perform “May I Help You (Dumbass)?” at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. What’s he up to these days?

and LOL the pono playing wprb in the art

ahhhh, I was waiting for this one

I can't believe I missed this live show in 1989. I was young & stupid I guess.

Matt B had a funny satellite radio show for minutes where he interviewed fake celebrities (celebrity impressions done by his co stars and sometimes guests ). It worked well. Very very loose. Audience call ins

Jon, the second you show ends, I am gonna watch the latest episode of Andor. Neil Young is warming me up.

Jeff, I will start with Mike's show but when the kid is done with homework we Andor before she goes to bed.

Waiting for the season wrap so as to binge it. :)

That was my pledge Judge, that was my "pledge". :)

Thanks for the juice!

Such a highly anticipated show. 👍

Aw man. Maybe in 1989!

No B.A.L.L. for you, I guess.

Compression content at it's finest.

Next song is unique to this show. Can you figure out why?

a lady singer

Ouch. The playlist disagrees.

That broken guitar amp speaker is high on my list.

@Jon, Alejandro Escavedo joined by his old friend David Hidalgo did a walloping version of Like A Hurricane live in concert Oct '13, not known if that ever made it on to Record or CD, available on YouTube.

ouch unintentional

Answer: This is a Crazy Horse song but it is not a Neil Young song. In fact, the original is on a record he apparently doesn't appear on.

Wow, crazy indeed!

Wacky zany crazy

the PRF monthly tribute series seems like an interesting concept

Also, it has reminded me of a cover I forgot I had that I need to work in ASAP.

There's some amazing stuff in the PRF series each month but it is also a lot of material to wade through.

@Jon, slippin'😏

And trippin LOL

First Crazy Horse record (1971) w/o Neil Young has a few songs he wrote / co-wrote but no Neil.

omg i couldn't sign in on my phone so i just got to the chat on lappy. THIS IS GREAT. also The Bridge tribute was a total labor of love, produced by the legendry Terry Tolkin, RIP. and honestly, that version of /Winterlong rivals Young's own, IMO.

There's a second Pixies NY cover I have only been introduced to recently I am excited to share soon. Hey, Vicky!

This one... BEAUTIFUL.

This reminds me of Benjamin Shaw and Pickle Darling

Yeah, this is a gorgeous coer

I second jimbeaux’s sentiment

cover

Advance Base always hits me wonderfully hard.

hi Jon. thanks for making my long standstill traffic commute so bearable that i literally wished it was longer

Hooray Vicky made it!

Here we go!

I got stuck in traffic listening to WPRB yesterday myself and it kept me sane. Weather Report with Sara was a godsend. Turns out a dump truck plowed into two EZ Pass tolls, wedging onto the median between. Took me 35 minutes to cross the Delaware alone.

Philadelphia to Cherry Hill

It’s the pride of North Brunswick!

goodness that Don't Be Denied riff always shoots straight through my heart

oh hey there, Jeff J!

yessss, Joshua, the guitar on Dont Be Denied is fkn dreeeeaaaaammmy

Hi there Joshua!! Coolest guy on the Indiana Toll Road

Think ol' Neil would dig this.

Garlic cheese chicken sausage in red sauce w fusilli. and some griddled zucchini circles. Glass of Well Red.

North of the Raritan River is a bridge too far for me these days Jeff. But it's all good.

Yum.

The minestrone was nice! Didn't expect green beans but welcomed them.

@brian that sounds delicious. I cooked up a big dish of butter chicken & spinach w/Chardonnay from a box.

I bought some Tillamook Kosher med chedder earlier.

It's darn good, and that's it for tonight.

now i gotta get some minestrone

ahhh Merry Clayton <3

Shout out for Tillamook Cheese. It's 60 miles from me :)

Aberdeen?

Tillamook, Oregon?

ooh no cheese here, but I've got an unopened Tillamook French Vanilla in the freezer that may get attacked yet tonight

No pressure, but we're $120 away from the private, unspoken goal I set for tonight's Membership Drive show. pledge.wprb.com. Y'all rule.

Oh yeahhhh Ty Seagall this version is 🔥

In a weird way this cover is partially responsible for wanted to do a full show of NY + CH tunes.

@Richard, Aberdeen, WA is about 60 miles north of Tillamook. I was just guessing :)

god this is great

hahaha and yet, it is still a singalong

Forest Grove, Rofflestomp :)

Ty Regal might be god!

Loner rocked ya

*Segal*

I love Ty’s cover. I was quite fond of this Fudge 🥪 covers album

Maybe some versions of the famous Danny Whitten song are coming.....

@Richard, whoops it's actually twice as far, my bad there. That's nice country your in. Coastal range is nice in general.

Tillamook cheese is excellent!

@Liz Bot Ty’s cover of “Class War” is fantastic

@Jeff Jotz, is this the Dils song?

@Rob you know it ✊🏽☺️

"The Bridge" was a great 90s college memory. One after another.... ooo listen to this one! Saw the Ragged Glory Neil & Horse tour right around same time. Sonic Youth and Social Distortion opening bands. Hershey Arena. Closest venue to Penn State

It's a nice home for me. My favorite cheese is extra sharp, white.

First heard this on Neil bootlegs

Drumming on that was Ace!

@Jeff Jotz, I'll check it out. I love the D.O.A. cover!

Thanks for the great show, Jon :)

An excellent show, Jon, thanks!

good show

Little ragged glory at the end there but we'll hit the finish line on time!

Good one Jon!

Awesome show. Thanks, Jon!

thanks Jon! this was such fun!!! xoxoxo

Nice one Jon, thank you!

Can't wait for next week!

You are all welcome. Mike Lupica is next. Suspect you'll enjoy next week just as much as tonight's fun.

I am glad this goes onward thru stages forth. Thanks Jon. Loved it!

WE HIT THE GOAL!

Thank you all.

This last track is quite amusing!

Thanks Jon! Even more fun than I had imagined it would be (and I knew it'd be very fun)

As a guy who can never make out lyrics in songs,I find this version to be perfect

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

🎉 Loved the show!

Best keep on rockin’ in the free world, including the originL

Thanks, Jon

Moog Cookbook is best in small doses but perfect on the radio.

Also, this song might be better without lyrics...

This is Rockin' glorious in the free world. Awesome!

Thanks Jonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Haha Jeff J.

Yay Jon re hitting the goal!

Moog in a microwave oven!😳

thanks Jon, keep being awesome

OR ELSE

You as well. I m but a mirror. OR ELSE.
