Greetings and Salutations!

Hi DJ MikeLupica!

The WEBCAM!

The headwear!

...and that moving photo from "2001 A Space Odyssey".......Hi Mike!!

I saw Wicked a few years back, Top dollar production. But it has to work hard to keep up with the Marti Gras mask's entertainment.

Mike, your headgear is spectacular!

Hey team! I can't wear this thing all night, as my freakishly large head has already stretched out the elastic band that holds it in place, but I will make repairs and wear it again soon!

Hey all! Somewhat heartened by holding offices in a lot of places.

Heck yeah, Richard!

Hello, ello, lo, Mike, ike, ke! (my sad attempt at echo text).

IPads were called Newspads in "2001".

@richard life is peachy all of a sudden sometimes, for it's own damn reasons.

This song RULES!

Yeah! The new Kutiman is wonderfully loungey and fun.

Also, if anything else wonderful / dreadful happens before 11, can someone update me here? I'm *not* refreshing the news anymore.

I heard the sun went out, and I can confirm that if this window is working properly.'

HUGE IF TRUE

OK, I made some adjustments to the mask. I think it's wearable again, though definitely not all night.

Mike: Great music to listen to while reviewing Election Results..

Thanks Alan. I'm keenly aware that's what everyone's doing right now!

Hello, Wednesday Night Pit Crew.

Ganser!!!!!!

Howdy Marcus. Rob, tell me more!

OK, mask has to come off for now. It's messing with my eyesight. I will keep it for Very Special Guests.

Ganser's 2021 release was my wife's 2nd fave album from last year. She adores all their records. We're both happy you're playing this song!

Excellent. I missed that album, but this new single is HAWT.

ha that was weird was just logging in and the playlist was ahead and i was like "this isnt tribe called quest"

It's a time-slip kinda thing.

"either that or i am really out of the loop with tribe's later works"

really like A Tribe Called Quest!

Haha. Yes, their minimalist shitgaze period totally sailed under the cultural approval radar.

Snap, crackle, bass!

sorry new jersey people we're returning our order of Dr. Oz for a full refund

But can they bring the pops and scratches? Those albums don't scratch themselves. :)

Oz = undeliveable, return to sender.

@Rofflestomp 😂

i hear that most returns just get put into the dumpster because it is too expensive to reshelve them. So i guess we all win?

That is so win, win unoclay!

You can return him to any Whole Foods location in NJ.

Universe minus Oz in office equals Relief..

Should've have figured on the last song, Quest!!

The cousin Brucie reverb is back!!!!!!

Yeah, smelly fertile rock soil, LOL

i feel more like he's an Aldi or Big Lots kind of product

Wegners

Exclusive

OMG, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida baby!

you guys are like naming the best grocery stores, so i dunno, im thinking more like dropping him off at the dirty corner store bodega

Bodega cat doesn't deserve that

Bugs, especially lanternflies get on my very last nerves, especially cutting grass, they fly Sonic fast!

@unoclay - Dropping dirty laundry off at Goodwill is not really helping strait away. lol

Big love to Pethie 💙

100%

Excellent show so far by the way but you don't need me to tell you that, it's always a fact

"Pethie" One syllable or two? Oh yea, I went there.

Thanks TAndy!

MC5 Good Kickass music to celebrate!!!

"Pethie" is actually an epic poem a la The Iliad.

Homer is nice, but I wanna hear him say it. :)

Oh yea, dead for thousands of years. Nevermind.

Now that is some serious rock and roll good set!

Indeed, Space Cowboy!

BUCKLE UP

ooooh

They are comin' to Portland

Open chords! FUN!

Sometime when you have a few minutes and are definitely NOT under the influence of psychedelic drugs, please watch the new video for the Frankie ATWF song "Electricide", which is one of the most demented things I've ever seen.

distinctly reminds me of one of my favorite bands who shall not be named because they are getting far too popular for their own good

Santana?

lulz

If the universe ends with a cold death Electricide will most certainly be a thing.

I think I know unoclay lol

They both go hand in hand with their styles at times

@unoclay - "too popular for their own good" That is so true across the board.

Gettin' on mah horse for this one...

It does have a nice gallup to it. Reminds me (a bit) of the closing theme of Buckaroo Banzai.

Boy do love this one!

@Alan - I just figured you have a magical unicorn that takes you star gazing above the clouds. :)

@ Roffelstomp: Works for me!

HA, JCFUA!!!

Sorry, that should say: " Jesus Christ and his Fabulous, Unapproachable Apostles feat. Mary Magdalene"

Poor girl

wait a second..... ska grooves?

I think Christ is still on the best sellers list.

Ska never sleeps.

Todd Skarundren

Dick Tracy by the skatalites ripped off here

-ᎷяM , yes, that guy!

Yeah, the Todd Rundgren ska song with the Weezer guy definitely wasn't on my bingo card for 2022

Hopefully Todd sent them a check

maybe the young ones but us philadelphians are all smug once again cuz you know bad things happen

if Oz and Mastriano had got into office they might have tried to sell philly to new jersey

How many of you saw that dance I just did on the webcam?

lol uno,

what is going on

Did Rundgren get them to go a cappella?

Jiggin? Cool.

Mike:...If you loose any feathers, I'll send you more...

Sooo good. Some Kind of Happening :)

@Mike, I just went to the webcam video, backed it up a few minutes, and saw your dance! :-)

Well thank god for THAT.

I expect these videos will keep me out of elected office.

Especially after I get a blue check on Twitter tomorrow ;-)

Hahaha

VERIFIED DUCK

Exactly. Verified Duck.

Still deciding if I just want to quit Twitter or get kicked off by Elon.

@Rob - blue check

LMAO

I'm staying on Twitter, since I use it as a news source. But I'm setting up on Mastodon too.

@Mike - I think I like the cut of that jib. Brilliant!

✌🏼

That TR song has made me super curious to check to see what is going on there.

Just got some sad news earlier today too, Garry Roberts, THE founding member and guitarist of The Boomtown Rats passed today aged 72 R.I.P.

Aye, just saw that too, Ambrose.

Just tuned back into the video stream, Mike went invisible!

Haha, I'm back!

No superpowers :(

baby blue, baby!

I know I've told this story like a gazillion times on the radio, but this song is forever etched in my memory for the time I heard it while inching along in incoming Holland Tunnel traffic during 100 degree August humidity. I was in a car with no A/C and hearing this song in those circumstances was utterly transformative.

i think i was in the tunnel at the same time...that CAN'T happen on a regular basis :)

@Mike, I don't know Gal Costa's work at all, but, this last song was amazing. RIP

Rob, she's amazing! See if you can find the "Tropicalia" documentary online somewhere -- a great primer that will help you navigate her catalog

I'll go look for it, Mike, thanks!

The Holland Tunnel memories I have are of diesel fumes.

Simply Sensational Set 🎶🎵❣️ Cheers, DJ MikeLupica!

Well, yes. Those too.

What Mr.M💀 said!

Oh yeah, I guess the miles of tiles fits in there somewhere too. I'm down with Bro and -ᎷяM.

sensational!!

The KING

Sensational Spectre

Really great doc about him on YerTerb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qMQ96Bvz18

Pillars of Smoke or Pillars of Creation? Going with the former.

Hi, Ambrose Hughes! HeyOoo to Rofflestomp! Hello, Colin! Whuddup Richard Lyons!

great selection DJ!

Greeting MRM! happy november 9th to you

I almost had him and Spectre down to the station years ago but it all (rather predictably) fell apart in the planning stages.

Funny I picked “sensational” to use tonight 🧐😋

My favorite Sensational rhyme of all time: "Shoot a duck in rabbit season./ Shoot a rabbit in duck season to nmake it even"

On the bright side, the shit you do bring in is over the top stuff! Respect is just shy of what I think.

this is sick

mrm is tuned in on levels where time is not a factor.

my heart stopped beating, and there is no time

@C🦃lin - -ᎷяM is my favorite bleach blonde.

Heard another song of them on Monday

Ossy: Tone Spliff and Benny Slumz?

woah

i was expecting a verse to come in but this beat is just too cool for that

this whole set!!!🏆

Lay down yer own poetry!!

8 in 5 and 3.

Mike: Yep!

[]~(￣▽￣)~*

i hear some well deserved complaints in there

Tone and Benny's 1st song I randomly caught on Monday is badass!

*Whale Song :)

@richard - Like CS&N without the S?

I saw that concert at the Garden in Jersey as a kid.

That Fugazi cover was super interesting. Thought it might have been off Instrument at first!

jon, that caught my ear too. super great version!

Fugazi droped many bombs!

Bobert Smits has been good for pushing young bands he likes into a spotlight.

Good bombs, not that other shit.

amen roffle

Timing a fund drive during an election cycle is weird.

I gladly gave money to Fetterman, and then I got shit in my mail box that won't change my vote. Why? Waste of resources.

Actually, timing an election w/o first consulting PRB is what's weird.

I don't know how it works, but yeah, a tad weird.

These guys and their Tuesdays in November. Crazytown!

Hey Mike, Pitcrew

Yo, DSM.

I'm late but I brought half a pizza

hey dsm

what toppings u got in there

sorry just the crust of half a pizza

booooo

So who is selling half pizzas?

I figured it was implied the other half was consumed

But I bet Little Caesar's has some kinda half pizza half something or other deal

Thank you DSM! Balance has been restored!

lol

I will check my mailbox for that cupon for sure.

mmmm crust.....

That fuckin Mike guy! Puts on awesome shit and walks right out the door! FFS!

LOL, the Starlite Lounge DOES have its limits

Awe shit, yeah, there's that...

LOL! Thank you

Hmm, I am more tempted to listen to the 5 albums now that was pretty good

They were all free downloads for the first few days. Not sure if that is still the case.

JAM

Just put the MikeLupica show back on my tv in time for the Mask at Camera!! 🃏

Mount TLC Waterfalls, Philly radio classic!

Knew that would rattle your cage, Ossy!

THE FREEFORM PATHOGEN Classic❣️

Final Ten Mins?! BOOOOOO!

DJ MikeLupica, another GRAND SHOW! Many thanks! Big cheers! Kind regards!

Weird episode of The Masked Singer

Over? Fucking time needs to get outta my face!

Mike -🎵 You know it 🎵 - Steve Arrington 🔥🔥🔥

pressed play to see what MrM was talking about and masked Mike was RIGHT THERE, truly startled me

Rofflestomp - Can't believe its near the weekend already.

I have no idea where this mask came from. One of those things that just appeared in the garage. My wife claims no knowledge of / ownership.

He got me 😱 twice, DSM!

Damn Ossy, I thought we were still there!

It's pretty rad, though. Think I will wear it next Halloween and tell everyone that it;s the new "steampunk"

BRIAN ENO 💚

A mask with strange abilities? Double tape that box until next year.

whoa new Eno

mike, it's the special side genera, mardi-steampunk

Eno with vocals, highly unusual!

I will do a quick post-show wrapup on Youtube. And I will wear the mask.

Hell yes.thanls so much for the show, Mike! I think other Mike also played this one on his show last week

New Eno has some Scott Walker vibes

Or will the mask wear you?

Looking forward to the Eno + Sun o))) collab

Ha!

Thanks Mike fun half hour of hanging

I would kill for that collab

Thanx Mike. A jam and some funny stuff. Needed that. Good night.

Thanks Mike for helping lift the weight of our shoulders👈🙌✌

Watt used to be at a lot of house shows in Pedro I went to around 2007-2009, probably still is, but he'd often be asleep in a chair. That's my Mike Watt story.

Thanks for post show wrap up!

Oh man, so spot on! The album covers and oh wow! Thanx man. Would have never known it!

NOT AS GOOD AS THE JAMES HETFIELD HOT TUB STORY, BUT OK
