The Human Jukebox: B-Roll Edition!

Last Wednesday night's all-vinyl 45 throwdown was a hoot, right? Well did you know that when we wrapped up last Wednesday at 11 PM, I'd played less than half of the 45s I'd pulled for the show? So tonight, because I am lazy (read as: I didn't re-file last week's records yet), we're going to take yet another stumble through the land of scratchy 7" singles. If I can get myself organized, we'll even throw in some Halloween-adjacent jams throughout the evening.

This is week #2 of WPRB's Fall Fundraiser, so please consider making a secure credit card pledge in the name of freeform radio. Recurring monthly donations are the BEST way to support WPRB because they allow us to budget for future projects and crazy ambitions, though one-time gifts are also welcome and appreciated. If you're already a monthly donor, you'll automatically receive all the WPRB gear your pledge level entitles you to, but if you want to show us some extra appreciation in the spirit of Halloween giving (that's a thing, right?), please hit up our secure pledge site. Thank you for supporting independent, freeform radio!

@Jeff Jotz, are you still here?

I'M SORRY, THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A MEMO

Never gets old!

BUT I FORGOT TO PICK IT UP

I never get the memo.

LOL

@Mike fogetaboutit

I'm sorry there was supposed to be a meme. Thousands of them... posted by dads and uncles

Oh Fudge! This J A M ❗️❗️❗️

Tell it, MrM. This period of the Temptations is total godhead.

The Norman Whitfield era!

Geezuus Khreyyst! That was S W E E T!

YAY! Big Star!

This mix is SEXY ⭐⭐⭐

That's some good cowbell.

Richard! Jimbeaux! Mary! Gang's all here!

That goes for the rest of youse too

Swag idea for next year's fundraiser: WPRB cowbell.

Just think about how badly Esoterica, Marvin, and I would abuse that on the air.

Making percussionist's dreams in NJ come true!

We need more cowbell Babaaaayyyy!

L0LZ 🐄 🔔

And producers in an SNL sorta way. Win, win.

Ha!

The Love Crackles are strong on this one.

Honestly, knowing you'd abuse it makes me want it to be real

I appreciate that vote of confidence, Mary. Will bring this up at the next staff meeting.

Crackles are a gift of time.

Snap Crackle Pop ❤️‍🔥

this BOP Right Now!

Should I be impressed with myself that I (apparently) know all of the words to this song?

Classic.

@Mike, not at all!

Mmmmm, maybe not?? Buttttt I like it!!

Oh, Mr. Harper:(

...but I am impressed.

Ha! Hi Ambrose Hughes!

It's fine. Some of the songs I can't unhear are the ones that concern me personally.

Baby Got Back!?!

I zoomed in to look at this cover cuz I thought it was gonna be impressive 😑

Yeah, apologies for the boring company sleeves.

But at least now you can forge my signature, should I ever change my name to "Dave Kusworth"

Looks like block printing. Obscured slightly by glare. Merp.

This Kusworth totally makes up for generic sleeve promotions

You are Number 3!

Jukebox label tag insert on this one???

This one's about MrM 🙊

Spinal Tap colander. Yes colander. Swag win of all wins. WTSR Radiothon 92 or 93.

Lots of 'em. I do indeed have an actual jukebox in my home!

Madonna, I’m BITCH

Westminster show theme

Is tonight's photo from Carnival of Souls? Dan Buskirk would spot that, if true.

It's Britney, Bitch

Yep, Marcus. Good eye! Just watched it last night. Freaked me out good and plenty.

the batch is bick

Bitch, who you callin a BITCH?!?

Binch

Beach ⛱ ☂️ 🏖 🌊

Walk into the arena....

The badge is budgie

HeeHaw?! Luv it!!

Blues Magoos Ain't Seen... and Deep Purple Black Night share a riff

Blues Magoos Gotta Get Away is my jam

You can have it BISH

Do you have leprechaun Julius,

"I don't wait in line for nothin'" would be a great WPRB T shirt slogan

Holy JESUS!

What the, that echo, LOOOOOOL!

OMGosh, Orange Julius! The original juice bar.

Someone wake up TAndy

UhOh! This G E M 💎🎵🎶

And Enjoy Yourself like the Jackson 5!

This. Is. A. Verified. Jam. And. A. Half.

EVEN IF YELLA, MAKES IT ACAPELLA

No cow bell there.

Hold music inspiration

Those horns just make it so much darker in a great way

Oh, TAndy… Well, you came and you gave without taking… But I sent you away, oh, TAndy

Okay! This SONG Rn aF!

Another old school philly station hit! 🔥

SPAM ALERT 🚨

HIP HOP. BE BOP, DON’T STOP

Scrapple Alert! 🚨

Opening & sorting boxes to this Hip Hop, Be Boo and it feels like the right soundtrack for that. Providing me a beat to stack stuff to

lol Roffle

LizBot! I live to serve my fellow DJs.

YO Liz Bot! Happy stacking to you

Awww Hellz Yeeaahh! BEASTIE BOYS ❤️♥️❤️‍🔥

Lizbot B' stackin'

TUBEWAY ARMY‼️

Fast playlist updates 🔥❤️🏆

Sending this one out to former WPRB DJs Abbie from Mars and Peppa Pig, who were the supreme Tubeway Army fans of WPRB circa a couple of years ago (just pre-Covid)

They dressed up like the Berserker LP cover one Halloween and it was pretty epic.

😂 Roffle. That’s the Liz Be (Bop) Bot is my other name now.

Tubeway Army? LOL! Sign me up!

@Mike - DJs helping DJs. That’s the PRB Way. DJing Hands Across the Delaware Valley

Get Qunicy Jones on the horn, STAT

Quincy

@Lizbot, B bop side stackin' sounds cool. too. :)

Sooo goood

Git Quincy

@Roffle - Way down in Cargo City, South Phil-I-A, there lives a rusty robot named Lizzy B. Bot. Stack, stack, stack robot, go! 📦 🤖 (I like that the cargo sorting part of Phila Intl Airport is called Cargo City…it’s like industrial Emerald City)

ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN❣️

@Lizbot, Cool! All the Seattle fun and none of the post summer rain. :)

Get your gas masks on

This FAVOURITE 💙💙💙

Oh boy does this song bring back teen Liz memories

A certain David Lynch Film @ Lizbot?

Check the webcam right now

Hi Ambrose! Yeah, I can’t hear this without thinking about seeing Blue Velvet WAY too young

aaaaaaaa

run

I also recommend Eraserhead if you wanna scar the little ones’ brains. My husband’s step-dad showed my husband that when he was 7 and he never got over it

Really liking this show so far, fitting the mood tonight very well.

@Mike, lmao!🤣

Nice mask!

Safety first! That Vinyl dust wiffs off out of the Wayback Machine without warning!

Instead of stacking cargo boxes, I’m just stacking dog food while my dog stares at me thinking she’s getting Second Dinner, which is something she probably invented in her dreams

I request Melanie’s Brand New Key 50 consecutive times, please

Speaks to the question of "what do dogs dream about" for sure!

@Lizbot I was 18 I think at the Cinema with my first GF 😄

@Rofflestomp- We’re getting all the post-summer rain and some spooky fog to boot. I will have to finally see John Carpenter’s The Fog before this clears

ICAN HEEEAAARRR YOOOO

keeping the Nitrous oxide out 😂

Worth it

@Ambrose - I wish I had been 18 when I saw that! My parents were super lax about what they let us watch. That usually worked in my favor, but sometimes not so much!

A GROWN GAS CAN!?!

i'm literally on the other side of the world and i'm still scared Gas Mask Mike is going to come get me

@Lizbot, I read you load and clear!

@Rofflestomp - For real. I think she is vexed right now because I inundated the house with baking turkey smells and then poured bags of kibble into storage bins while she watched.

TIMES SQUARE SOUNDTRACK?!! I loooooooove that movie and have a few copies of the soundtrack and I’m feel triumphant that I showed my kid that movie recently and she loves it too now

@Lizbot, the foggy run up to Snoqualmie with the cool clouds is so cool. I90 at it's finest.

Oh man, I remember Peppamint Pig & Abbie dressing up. I was there that day and it was epic.

Ding,ding!

Snoqualmie Pass, that is.

@Rofflestomp - I played my kid The Foggy Dew to torment her with fog-related Irish history ballads while driving her in the thick morning fog to school

@Mike - So many boxes got stacked, so many kibbles were poured, thanks to your tireless DJing services 📦 🤖

Irish ballads work so well in mysterious times and places.

@Lizbot, you are a terror!🤗

Now I want a kid so I can subject them to fog-related Irish history ballads, it sounds like fun

A dog is watching, a dog is making plans...

@Lizbot, in Ireland round this time of year the sometimes happens a weather phenomenon freezing fog ...makes for real fun driving!😯

When a punk became more than a Jersey swamp cat-tail on fire.

Ha! This is so great Mike!

Is this a medley? A piss take? An homage?

this is awesomely cheesy

ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Punks on 45?

Punks on...76?

Richard Cheese would be proud!

Punks on a rope.

Brought to you by K -Tel!

@Mr. Beaux, lol!

@jimonthlydonorbeaux 😂🤣😂

😍Ruts

WT🦆

@Ambrose - sounds like the HAAR, (which itself sounds like the subject of a horror movie). I am not surprised Irish weather has invented new and more diabolical varieties of fog. At the Cliffs of Moher I couldn’t see 10 feet in front of me

yeah yeah

@Rofflestomp - a dog watches. A dog so large, I cannot see past it.

This song is making me pro-radiation for all the wrong reasons.

@Lizbot, haha! We invented whiskey then fog!😏

Tuuuuune

Mr. Heron, welcome!

@Ambrose - My childhood dog was named after Irish Mist whiskey!🥃 🌫 🐕

@Liz, I'm glad that someone is still using that as a punchline.

@lizbot, That's a lot of dog without a past!

Fun fact: The kid who came up with that title is now like 40.

a pile of unsold cds so large, noone can see past it

@Mike - We frequently reference ADSLICSPI (okay, that acronym is challenging) in this household

A non-profit it was supposed to benefit, but it went out of business.

OK, that's enough shoptalk for tonight.

@Mike - And any time we see this giant Irish wolfhound that lives down the street, we call it that, much to the owner’s confusion

TVOD!!!

This sneaky song rules

I have this 7"!

Hey Chris! I like the screen name!

Samesies!

Warm. Leatherette.

Now let's all read Crash by Ballard and feel creepy forever.

Or just listen to Hocus Pocus by Focus, thank you very much.

Epic is spot on correct in frame!

YES, love this Focus record

HI T!

Brian D still here? Figured this would be in his lane.

@Mike - I never felt the same about “instrument binnacles” again after reading that book. And yet Super-Cannes managed to be even creepier.

Heya Richard, everyone. I've considered asking DTO to play a track off this record for his show, but he may have done that already.

My wife read my copy of that and she wanted ti throw it away when she was done. (And she was a Lit major in college.)

God, I love songs that rock but are deeply silly.

Mary, then you are REALLY gonna love the next song, which is even sillier than this one is.

Hi TAndy Kebab & Chris Pledge-Mohr!

Though less "rock", for sure.

My breath is baited.

Dogblesssills

SSS

When I was younger, I really turned my nose up at stuff like this. Life is too short for that.

@Mike - yeah, I could see it eliciting that response!

My English 101 Prof was a PHD. It was hell semester upon a time.

Rogue Rogue Sputnik?

Nope, this is excellent.

Going from Focus to Love Missile F1-11 was a nice Segue Segue Sputnik.

boooooo

(Jon blows smoke off gun)

I'm back!

DAMN spellcheck!😡

@Mary - True. Let the hocus and the pocus wash over you

Sigue Sigue Sputnik❣️❣️❣️

@Jon, wanna ask about Andor, but nah. Hope you liked though.

I remember watching this on Top Of The Pops for the first time and thinking yep, Punk be dead all right.

There was a very small thing in this week's Andor the kid got quite excited about.

L0LZ Ambrose Hughes

😆, Jon . Segue joke book for DJs is a thing that needs to happen

Was the very small thing YODA?! 💚⁉️ 🤣🤣🤣

Looking forward to it Jon, cool.

Hahaha! DJ MikeLupica!

mushroom pizza?

Whoa what the LMAO?

Holy Hoboken! My friends daughter lives there now. Such a different place.

I only knew this song from Ferris Bueller

@Mike - r members of the band still kickin’? Email them and ask if they played that church fair! Although, entirely possible they wouldn’t remember if they did🤔

Focus played Riders gym

B sides? Hmmm...

A Side B radio, perhaps?

Oh TAndy

Next week sounds EPIC!!

Home Blitz! Giant of Jazz Dan was on after my show for years!

If it wasn't for FCC regulations, would be great to have you hear these old singles again for the first time live on the air.

Oh -ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀9:57 PM

Nice to see ya sir

Burn the sky with online. FCC be damned, I think as a fool who really has no idea.

Then have Daniel DiMaggio come back and do a show of 45s you gave him from that era

👻🎃

this SET 🔥‼️

Dito Mr.M💀

Are 50% of the South Bay Surfers wearing satin Lakers jackets?

YES.

Best pic sleeve ever.

The guitar player's face!!

Is the South Bay Surfers’ guitarist Stephen King?

LOL

Hahaha, maybe!

Maybe they’re big fans of the movie Fletch, with all that Lakers attire they don

The surf is much better in Ventura, as a former temporary resident of Thousand Oaks.

Best part of that pic sleeve is the flipside, which is a live shot of them playing somewhere in SF circa 1994. They appear to be using a drumkit that belongs to that band The Unsane.

@Mike - It was exactly one year ago, while I watched Dario Argento’s Tenebrae, alternatively titled Unsane, that I realized maybe that was where that band got its name

Wow!

The jackets led to an epic band brawl in the parking lot of a Shoney's, after which the two Lakers fans broke away with a side project called Fun Bay Two

Hat tip for a Shoney's reference in 2022, Dave.

Snorted upon reading Fun Boy Two.

Thank you for playing this.

*bows*

Aye, Richard. An honor.

Without a doubt, everyone is happy and gay at some point in life. Semantics as you like.

This set!!

this TRACK!

Ahh-ah-ahhh!

👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻

Sounds kinda SOTC halloween themed 💚💛🖤🧡💜🤍

Ahh-ah-ahhh! this TRACK! This set!! indeed

aaawoooooooh

Too much fighting in the Shoney's parking lot!

comma

Final Thirty Mins?! I’m cry

YES!

AMEN Brother!

HALLELUJAH Sister!

best to you all!!

CHEERS Child!

PARTY ON People!

NENEH CHERRY 💝

Had a housemate circa 2001-2004 who always played Buffalo Stance. Immediately reminds me of Axi and kitchen dance parties in the [filthy] kitchen of that punk house, which we used as homebase for Food Not Bombs cooking, so there was literally homemade wheat gluten crusted to the walls…for ambiance…and the worst fruit fly infestation I ever experienced

🦬 💃🏻

Best fall weather to to you Richard! My kid lives up in Longview and has a weirdo tract up the coast. Summers are my line in the sand. lol

Ubu!

PERE!

Not a cool story Girl! Otherwise nice to see you, DJ LizBot! 🤪🤣🤗🥳

Snap Crackle Pop 💖

JAMES BROWN ❤️

OMG Lizbot! That requires trained professionals to address!

late rain is on it's way Rofflestomp!

This from the pov of heroin itself or the pusher man?

Yes.

To hell with you DSM!

Roots for Hoyt Axton

Dead ass

@Richard, May an umbrella ever be at your side!

I want Ethiopiques 45s! I’m cry

MrM gonna get binch slapped all across this fiber optic cable

Yer face, DSM

Ha! Happy to have a warm-ish shower
