Jen Redlights (host) 10:01:20 AM
High-five, @Dave!
TAndy 10:02:48 AM
Mornin!
Jen Redlights (host) 10:04:39 AM
Good morning!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 🇺🇦 🌻 🇮🇷 10:05:05 AM
Hello and good morning (for a few minutes)
Jen Redlights (host) 10:05:30 AM
Hello, swooping in! Welcome!
Christine 𓅓 10:05:33 AM
What a kick-off! Sounding great, Jen.
Christine 𓅓 10:06:24 AM
📻 𓁏
Jen Redlights (host) 10:06:30 AM
Outstanding! I’m excited!
Jen Redlights (host) 10:06:38 AM
Happy December.
Christine 𓅓 10:08:12 AM
In three weeks, the days will get longer. ☀️ #need daylight
Mike Lupica 10:08:12 AM
Wow, the 3Ds! I remember when they played Princeton only because I was elected to sit outside and comfort a woman I barely knew who had been dumped by her boyfriend several hours earlier and subsequently gotten astonishingly drunk. She threw up on my leg and so I missed the 3Ds.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:09:13 AM
Mike, I was first going to say holy crap, the 3Ds played there, and now I’m just stumped! Booooo!
Christine 𓅓 10:10:51 AM
So shines a good deed in a weary world. Good on you, Mike!
TAndy 10:11:45 AM
Good morning Mike. I thought you may be interested to know that NJ.com put out an article this week about the former City Gardens in Trenton... The city will be demoing the building at some point in the near future. Anyone who hasn't seen the exterior of the former venue, check it out soon.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:12:26 AM
Oh man I saw that headline, and I was blocked from reading the whole story,
Jen Redlights (host) 10:12:43 AM
I spent many quality hours at that dump. :(
Andrew Gruen 10:13:10 AM
this piece is glorious! i used it as my phone ringer for a while
Christine 𓅓 10:13:15 AM
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pennlive.com/entertainment/2022/12/njs-legendary-punk-rock-hall-city-gardens-in-imminent-danger-of-collapse.html%3foutputType=amp
TAndy 10:13:33 AM
Essentially the company who owns it now is just sitting on the building doing nothing, but since there's a gaping hole in a wall now and people can enter freely, the city may take action on the pretense of a danger to people.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:13:39 AM
That’s a terrific ringer! Maybe my new alarm.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:15:54 AM
Oh wow, @Tandy. Thanks, Christine!
Mike Lupica 10:16:20 AM
I drove by it last time I was down that way (over the summer, I think) and yeah -- there's a giant hole in the wall.
TAndy 10:16:25 AM
There's a gentleman on YouTube who lives across the river, who got into the building last year before a car made a big hole in the wall. It's alright if I drop the link to his video?
Mike Lupica 10:17:36 AM
Wow, didn't realize it was a car crash but I suppose that makes sense.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:18:58 AM
That’s somehow poetic, but I hope no one was hurt…. (I can’t get into the text)
Jen Redlights (host) 10:21:27 AM
@TAndy sure on video!
David Shortell 10:22:07 AM
I remember there was a band called 3-D that Steve Martin introduced on Saturday Night Live. I don't know anything about them.
TAndy 10:22:26 AM
https://youtu.be/wjpXof-OzuU 🙂
Jon Solomon 10:23:57 AM
I drove past the former City Gardens location in the last 2-3 weeks and the hole has not gotten any smaller.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 🇺🇦 🌻 🇮🇷 10:24:13 AM
I love the last two song titles: Robitussin and Allostatic Load
Jon Solomon 10:24:42 AM
The growth in the parking lot hasn't been trimmed one bit and everything else on the property is in disrepair. The past was fun and I'll remember it fondly but that building should not be standing.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:26:52 AM
@david, I must know more! @jon was there ever a last show in the parking lot or something?
Jon Solomon 10:27:28 AM
Tuning in to the show now, but not before I share the important information that someone has done a Christmas update of Warm Leatherette by The Normal.
TAndy 10:27:47 AM
Good morning Jon!
David Shortell 10:28:19 AM
City Gardens’ forthcoming demolition follows the recent demolition of the Brighton Bar. I expect the Saint will be next. I was there last night for the final time. The landlord refused to renew the lease. Condos may take its place.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:28:31 AM
@Jon thank you for sharing!
Jen Redlights (host) 10:28:46 AM
Can’t wait for the holiday show!
Jon Solomon 10:28:57 AM
Good morning, TAndy! If Bodega doesn't wake one up, little will.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:29:16 AM
Oh geez….and there goes the way of so many of my favorite dives :(
David Shortell 10:31:37 AM
'Twas 42 years ago, Jen: https://nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/may-17-steve-martin/4023024
Mike Lupica 10:31:59 AM
@Jen, that is actually an awesome idea for a guerilla show in the parking lot. Someone call Ween, Meat Beat Manifesto, and however many Ramones are still alive.
Jon Solomon 10:32:11 AM
Here's a no paywall link of the City Gardens article - https://www.nj.com/mercer/2022/12/legendary-punk-rock-hall-city-gardens-is-abandoned-in-imminent-danger-of-collapse.html?outputType=amp&fbclid=IwAR0PbfLT9CB64l6L0HF3NYbzrwHglTUCu7rEMS10C8BJLY7nPVHA_URnfbg
Jon Solomon 10:32:46 AM
At this point the only appropriate band to play the City Gardens parking lot is Missing Foundation.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:32:52 AM
Hahahahahahah
Lee Chandler 10:33:50 AM
First time I went to City Gardens, I remember thinking. "wow - this is a step up from seeing shows in cramped church basements & the like.." Ah, youth.
TAndy 10:34:49 AM
I was but a wee anklebiter when the place closed, do I never got to experience it :(
Jen Redlights (host) 10:35:43 AM
Weirdly, the first memory that pops to mind whenever I think of City Gardens, which I might honestly have made up, is the gal who fronts Daisy Chainsaw somehow shrieking into the mic from a side wall, where she was strung up…or it was a fever dream. Seeing jawbox there, also a favorite memory.
David Shortell 10:35:53 AM
Do Marky, CJ and Clem count? I saw the latter at City Gardens (one of his only two gigs). He looked odd beside his beleathered brethren in his white buttoned shirt and tie.
Mike Lupica 10:36:53 AM
I held my breath throughout that entire Angry Samoans song because the version I know includes the singer yelling "FUCK OFF" as part of the chorus. Good on ya for finding the Angry Samoans tracks that are family appropriate.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:37:30 AM
🥺
David Shortell 10:37:42 AM
Jawbox? I saw them at Maxwell's, I think. Or maybe it was Jawbreaker. I honestly can't remember which.
Mike Lupica 10:38:13 AM
@David, 2 bassists and 1 drummer totally count. Surprised they have not done a reunion tour w/ that lineup, TBH.
Jon Solomon 10:39:00 AM
Mike, same! I had to make a radio edit of the Angry Snowmans' holiday update with the same cuss at the same spot...
Mike Lupica 10:39:41 AM
Jawbox definitely played Trenton at least once (w/ Die Kreuzen and the Doughboys.) Maxwell's probably 200 times.
Jon Solomon 10:41:40 AM
https://www.concertarchives.org/concerts/shudder-to-think-jawbox-american-standard
David Shortell 10:42:17 AM
Wall of Voodoo changed "fuck you" to "shut up" when they played "Back in Flesh" on "Live at the Improv".
Jen Redlights (host) 10:42:19 AM
Dave, you probably saw Jawbreaker at Maxwells too! I found it very uunsatisfying.
David Shortell 10:42:24 AM
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ajkZHa527fo
Mike Lupica 10:42:49 AM
@TAndy, it was great that CG existed and in many ways, it helped write my ticket to bigger and better things in my life. But beware the prevalance of dead-end nostalgia that swirls in its memory. The way many people talk about it now is like listening to ex-football player dudes who peaked in high school.
Mike Lupica 10:43:17 AM
And as long as I'm spewing controversy today, that Jawbreaker show at Maxwell's really sucked.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:44:46 AM
It totally sucked! I enjoyed seeing them much more 20 years later at a reunion show at the friggin Hollywood Bowl … FIGHT ME
TAndy 10:45:06 AM
Lucky for me I plan on peaking at 43 >:)
Newtown Bike Works 10:45:39 AM
Wow...what a morning on WPRB. Been killin' it for hours.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:46:18 AM
Woooo, thanks for being here, @newtown!
Brian D 10:46:24 AM
Indeed! A sad story of City Gardens. Indeed!
Mike Lupica 10:47:53 AM
I see what you did there, Brian.
Brian D 10:48:11 AM
None more metal than stage patters prefaced by "Indeed"
Brian D 10:49:02 AM
Yes the rose colored rear view mirrors of nostalgia best taken w grains of salt
Brian D 10:49:49 AM
World Cup topical tropical song!
David Shortell 10:50:51 AM
Mike, I feel that “ex-football player dudes” vibe when reading “No Slam Dancing, No Stage Diving, No Spikes: An Oral History of New Jersey's Legendary City Gardens”, which can be bought at Randy Now's Man Cave (119 W Ward St, Hightstown, NJ).
Brian D 10:51:39 AM
The Sault Assault of these latest all at once albums wow... much fun
Jon Solomon 10:52:19 AM
This is among the most verbal a Sault.
Jen Redlights (host) 10:52:28 AM
sault assault!
Brian D 10:52:41 AM
Where'd the cheese go at
jimboo 10:53:06 AM
shapeshiftingsault
Jen Redlights (host) 10:53:18 AM
Indeed!
Lee Chandler 10:54:31 AM
Focus. Guerilla show in the parking lot.
jimboo 10:54:53 AM
(looks over shoulder to check for monkeys)
Mike Lupica 10:55:32 AM
LOL Lee
Mike Lupica 10:55:44 AM
That Sault track was badass. #stealing
Jen Redlights (host) 10:56:49 AM
So good!
Brian D 11:02:52 AM
It means Pele's goals
Brian D 11:03:31 AM
Pele = biggest name in soccer circa 70s early 80s
Jen Redlights (host) 11:04:29 AM
Haha yes , I needed to play that one today - can’t get enough T fooootball!!
Brian D 11:07:02 AM
Sault "where my money at" made me think of Patti Labelle xmas performance i heard about on Jon's marathon years back aka " Where my background singers at? " . Seek out that video/ back story. A true pro Patti. On with the show. Indeed.
Jon Solomon 11:08:18 AM
Yesterday's soccer was especially exciting!
Jon Solomon 11:08:28 AM
I have this morning's games on in the background currently.
Jen Redlights (host) 11:09:49 AM
Me too :)
Christine 𓅓 11:10:49 AM
This vibe 💯
TAndy 11:11:39 AM
I'm off. Have a good day everyone :)
Jen Redlights (host) 11:13:51 AM
See you, @TAndy!
Jon Solomon 11:20:44 AM
Love to recognize a band from guitar tone alone!
Jen Redlights (host) 11:21:28 AM
Hahah well done!
Brian D 11:34:04 AM
Yeah "The Hunter" has been done/ adapted by many. Albert King w Booker T and the MGs being the first
Christine 𓅓 11:40:42 AM
👑 🫀🦎🧙🏽
Jen Redlights (host) 11:41:58 AM
hahahaah Christine
Brian D 11:48:18 AM
Love the textures and layers of the guitar parts
Jon Solomon 11:48:48 AM
!!!!!
Jen Redlights (host) 11:49:08 AM
I love that this EP is two big fat EPICS
Jon Solomon 11:51:50 AM
Jen, which soccer do you have on?
Christine 𓅓 11:52:11 AM
I don't want this interlocking groove to end
Jon Solomon 11:53:18 AM
I don't love / can't possibly keep up with everything this band does but boy this is good!
Jen Redlights (host) 11:55:43 AM
likewise, and I was pleasantly surprised! Also: Ghana/Uruguay!
Andrew Gruen 11:55:50 AM
great show again Jen!
Christine 𓅓 11:56:14 AM

JimBO Light Red 11:56:59 AM
Jen - Great Show! I am just writing aboiut my hero from Lynn, Mass! Elisha Foote was married to the slightly famous Eunice Foote. I am writing on their biography today!
Jon Solomon 11:57:17 AM
This Dry Cleaning song reminds me of a slowed down Pretenders riff.
Jen Redlights (host) 11:57:20 AM
@jimbo whaaaaaaa!
Jen Redlights (host) 11:57:53 AM
@Jon that is an amazing observation
Jen Redlights (host) 11:59:12 AM
