Hey, Toast! Ya BURNT!

Mr. Malcontent, did Dana K give you permission to leave her class early?

I am going over there right now to tell on you.

Oopsie

Howdy Mike and MrM

ahhh thank gawd we get Pup this week

ohhhh

haha, hey Mike! haha

DJ Pup will hear about this. ALL OF IT.

Hey Mike! I either misread or he mistyped the date. Still gonna hook the party tonite >:)

Not sure how my phone thinks that "join" is "hook" but ok.

Party vibes for a bit, then the usual doom and gloom.

I just assumed that was hip slang.

I can totally see someone saying "hook" a party.

Doom/Gloom ALL NIGHT!

can't wait to hook the party tonite

damnnnnnn

That gif is scrapeing off all the toasty flavor :(

WE WILL NOW TAKE DRUMMER ATTENDANCE.

DRUMMER ATTENDANCE IS NOW OVER. NOW WE WILL DANCE ON THE TABLE.

had a kit, was only 'ok'

Oh hell yeah. 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Shit got REAL

*pours a bottle of E&J in the punch bowl*

I was certain the left channel would crap out (as it's done several times in recent weeks) the second I started the Deee-Lite record. Glad to have been wrong.

LOL DSM

DeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEeeEeeEeeLIIIIIITTTEE

I think it got yanked from YerTerb, but the grainy VHS footage of them doing Groove is in the Heart at NYC Wigstock in, like, 1989 or 90, is one of the most joyous things I've ever seen.

Quick...now follow this with Pump up the Volume and Pump up the Jam.

We're goin' full Paradise Garage right now.

SO. MANY. ELECTRO. HAND. CLAPS.

🕺🪩💃🏼🪩🕺🪩💃🏼🪩🕺🪩🕺🪩🕺🪩💃🏼

16 tracks, 8 of em are hand claps

And all 8 are different!

What was the name of that apocalyptic sci-fi move from 20 years ago with Clive Owen in it?

Because I remember being super weirded out in the theater in downtown NYC when this Roots Manuva song appeared in it.

“apocalyptic sci-fi movie”

That was the name. Pretty sure.

Dystopian near future film about no more babies being born.

Haha

I dunno but I wanna watch that movie now

"Children of Men"

Evenin' Mike!

Hey Ambrose! Glad you could swing through!

That Abraxas was mighty fine!

Sorry, I mean "glad you could HOOK through". (Scroll down, trying to start a trend...)

omg LOL

Aye!

HOOK US!

Television! :-DD

BE ONE OF US! HOOK TODAY!

I never hooked in with TELEVISION joy Merp

I always assumed Venus was 'the other song' from that album

Also, rip to Twitch today

I heard this on a NYC tourism commercial

ANGELO BAH-DAH~LAH-MENTY ❤️‍🔥

Personal and the Pizzas?

(was just jk)

or, was jk I suppose would be correct

Look, nothing surprises me anymore. Everything is in play. Space aliens, racist Little Lord Fauntleroy MFs taking over social media companies, pineapple on pizza. EVERYTHING is in play.

Damn lol

It's true, World Gone Bonkers!

Oh yeah

Ossy knows what's up!

Sounds like Bedhead!

Does it? That was so long ago, I don't even know if I had ears when they were around.

damn, this song is like the part of the office party where you were having a great time then looked over and saw your crush making out with fucking Chad, and you have to step outside and look out at the world while the snow floats silently down

Yeah man, fuck Chad.

Also, NGL, the party vibe is pretty much DEAD from here on out.

Haha C H A D

Was a good party there tho! I hear some peeps gonna head over to Applebees

Cheer up it's Billy Nomates!🤗

I think this is now my favorite kinda-sad Christmas song. It feels like the end of one of the Dr. Who holiday specials.

"half past a 🐵's ass"

@ Mike Lupica (host) John Cale's "Half Past France" is truly powerful. I have to find out more about Cale and his music. Thanks for playing it.

Paris 1919 is such a great album

The Nice Price was the nice price

Draw The Line, the nice price

My hackles are raised

Danosaur!

MrM!

Danosaur in the place

Heya dan

Applebee's - now that's a party!

Hi TAndy!

THE DAMNED❗️

Is that cowbell I hear?

We need more cowbell Babaaaayyyy

Have I mentioned here that I really want a future donor thank you gift to be a WPRB cowbell?

That is a genius idea

would love a cowbell, to cowbell along at home with

coWPRBell

whoa

Well done, Ambrose Hughes

DRY CLEANING 💟 why didn’t the album pic show up?

This song seems very intimate with headphones on

MrM, did it really not show? Hmmm, can't IMAGINE why...

Glamming it up

The zoom in is a bit of a yuck anyway

I ain't touchin' that soap!

Did you remove it, DJ MikeLupica?

Ha!

I’ll take a new bar, thanks.

That soap needs a bikini wax

zoinks!

ru roh!

Tried to re-add the song w/ album art, but the system's not having it. Might work after 10 PM.

No soap, huh?

Now, that’s funny.

The two of youse.

Liking these tunes! 👍👍

Glad to hear it, MrM. Definitely a weird one tonight, but lots of good gloom crossed my desk this week and it seems a pity not to play it.

I had an apartment that was so small I had to go outside to change my mind

Zing!

This song is trippy

yo! this is pretty ripping!

Hey Colin! Glad you and Dan are digging it. Band is from Berlin, new to me, but I dig the (excessive) reverb.

And now, the most blatant Joy Division ripoff in recorded history.

(Still a good tune.)

property had some total post-christmas vibes. cold long nights with no presents.

is this song what happens when joy division and the cure's faith album have babies?

JOY DIVISION 🖤🖤🖤 makes me enjoy the ripoff❣️

Getting a bit of Bauhaus "Bela Lugosi's Dead" vibes from the vocals

Shoulda just called this "1981"

Went to a Bauhaus concert and they were searching everyone as we entered but they just waved me through because I look harmless. I was insulted.

nothing says winter cozy like a big ol 1981 hug!

this harmless nerd 🤓

shoulda stabbed em in their faces

Playing this in the nein o'clock hour

Reminded me of that video from a couple years ago of Peter Murphy getting his lights punched out by a security guard he was laying into. It's on YouTube, but I shan't link to it because it's kinda ... sad? I'm sure you can find it.

Oh boo

Haha, MrM

Funny @Danosaur!

I always get waved into the Turtleback Zoo without paying. I can relate.

I get followed around a joint by security

Well, you do look pretty distinctive, MrM

I’m pretty 🕺🏻 I just read the parts I wanted to read

best set break song everrrrr

that last set was the best!

Oh, yeah. I think they talk about that record store in the Slits documentary

Let's see AI do that!

A raspberry!?!

Now I heart Kitchen Leg Records❣️

Maybe you can work at the damned bank

Better there than Sham 69 Savings and Loan.

This is nice. Great drums and bass

This song is mesmerizing

Whole album is great! Recommended!

WEST SIIIIIIIIDDEEE alert, MrM.

Ooohhhhh!

Which??

From 1981?!

Plugz!

i was away from the compy but i did notice the 1981 mic drop by dj mike!

plugz always catch my ear.

Fun Timez! And Cheers from the WestSiiidddeee!

Back from Applebees whut I miss?

We all shared a Bloomin' Onion and Mr M threw ranch dressing on the wall.

This has a kinda 70's folk rock vibe. I like it

As god intended

lol, that is sooo MrM

Oh wait, that was at Applebees.

You can't take MrM anywhere. Sheesh!

Ty worked at a record store up the street from me when I lived in Highland Park and he was very nice, and had a massive skull. Not much of a story but it's something

Whut. I’m very fucking dignified and have a shit ton of civility. Thanks very much, ya bunch o btchzz.

>:)

that sounds like something one would say right before they throw the ranch at the wall

Actually what ranch was thrown? If it was that Hidden Valley crap, it belongs there

I would definitely want to throw the ranch at the wall

TAndy got some #ranchopinions

Damn straight. Ken's and Newman's are the only Ranch I'll allow. Anything else is just sour milk. FACT.

Yeah. Dial it down, TAndy

💬

pizza crust in ranch y/n

Welp. You can’t be helped. L0LZ

Jeff Bridges needs to have his own dressing. He could call it Dude Ranch

Aaahahahahahha

ʳᵃⁿᶜʰ ᵒⁿ ᵖᶦᶻᶻᵃ ᶜʳᶦᵐᵉˢ

It ties the whole salad together

lol Dano

Maybe Sometimes @DSM

Californians Do It Different

I think sometimes it's a nice treat

CPK!!!

PRINCE 👑💜🎸

#princefeelslikechristmas?

And #pancakes? #NewGirl

#IcouldseethatColin

mrm, all of it is fantastic!

I have a Zoe Desch story, I met her at a white elephant party and she insulted the gift I brought.

No one saw PRINCE on NewGirl?!? Now the ranch and bbq sauce are on the wall and ceiling!!!

Woo, indeed, Prince. Woo, indeed.

He's WASTEING the condiments!!

She Gangster!! Why you bring garbage, DSM?!?

I brought a cool head statue, and she brought the board game LIFE. DULL!!

You brought her a severed head?

Youreee oveeer useeeing theeee Es, TAEndEEE

Someone who really appreciated the severed head ended up with it, thankfully.

I think I got a B B gun

You’re gonna shoot yer eyes out!!

🫣

Speaking of, did anyone watch that new Christmas Story?

There's another?

Sequel

they all say the new one is good.

I'd hope it is! Hollywood got a case of sequelitis these days

Guess I'll be #watching

I'll wait for the laserdisk

dsm, that story earns you a life merit badge of honor. insult the dash badge

NENEH CHERRY❣️❣️❣️

Nice chill groove

tandy,🤣 me all for the rest of the week when people tell me anything, I'll wait for the laserdisk

Haha

neneh cherry singing about trippin on an album called homebrew?!?! i didn't know till this moment.

Great album! Super overlooked at the time, I think. She rules. Everything she does is gold.

This is really good

Never heard of Neneh Cherry til now, lovin' it

Final Fifteen Mins?!

wprb always gives us the good radio!

I really dig that kind of downtempo

OMG, just realized I played Don Cherry and Neneh Cherry (his daughter) in the same set. How embarrassing. This is like going into Pizza Hut and seeing Esoterica there, and we are both wearing the same hat.

👒 👒

mike, i would have never done that level cherry = all the dj set of math.

#enlightenment

🍒🍒

Puuuuuuuuuup

🐶

Miss you already, DJ MikeLupica! Enjoy the HOLIDAYS!

Thanks for the show Mike!

Have a great holiday time period and thanks for the party Mike!!

Great show! Have a good holiday!

DJ MikeLupica, many thanks for another Grand Show! Big cheers! Kind regards to you!

Stay nifty, Danosaur!

Thanks for playing Beauty Pill - I mean I tuned in too late to hear it, but thanks!

Stay groovy, MrM!

Cheers to all the Dears, especially those with Big Ranch in your Big Ears!

Peas out, y'all! Thanks for hanging through a weird night. For realz, though: *everyone* seems to be gettin' Covid this week. Take care of yourselves and take care of eachother. Wear a mask, FFS. Especially when you're around people who get paid by the hour and who (probably) don't get paid sick leave.

Right on, Curtis!

dancing with a Panettone in one hand, and a Hickory Farms Summer Sausage in the other

Or dare I say, stay grave-y, MrM!

Hahahaha

"Dancing with a Panettone in one hand, and a Hickory Farms Summer Sausage in the other: The DSM Story"

Haha snort

Omg 🤣

lolz

Excellent party Mike, can't wait till next year's, thank you!

Cheers, Ambrose! Next year I'll make hats.

😜👏
