The Freeform Pathogen Wed Dec 28 with Mike Lupica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Oh look who’s here!

Starlite Lounge only opens once a week, and I gave the doorguy the night off.

Apparently there's a Mooney Suzuki reunion across town.

I’m staying here.

We have better drink specials.

Happy New Year, DJ MikeLupica! 🎉🎉🎉

Mmm…drink.

I'll have a double, neat.

Nice! What does she play?

Stand up bass!

It's that DJ Mike Lupica dude!👀

Wow! That is so cool!

Awesome! and huge :)

Twice her size, for real!

Hey Ambrose!

Quick...show her some Rev Horton Heat videos.

Hahhaa

hahaha.

Ha! Was just gonna ask about her Rockabilly repertoire!

@Jimbeaux Jimbo!😜

bass acrobatics

Or some Bad Livers...

Speaking of the plate in my head can you play thee hydrogen terrors i got a plate in my head?

Her involvement in school orchestra has led us to agree upon what the worst Beatles song is.

@Commie, I love that song but lost that record years ago!

Commie...dinner plate or dessert plate?

That is some serious father daughter bonding.

...and the consensus on worst Beatholes song?

Frickin' RJD2!!!!

Leaving us hanging here..

No guesses? C'mon, I always thought it was a widely agreed upon detail.

Yellow sub?

afraid to hurt feelings

Yesterday?

Oh hell yea... I need more rjd2 in my life again

If it's a Ringo song I disagree

It starts with "O...Bla"

game of the night

RJD2 REVIVAL STARTS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.

Oh it came to me 1 second before you said it

lit

...RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW...

oh yea, the song by Jesus Jones

sure, why not

Richard, I heard that dreadful Jesus Jones song on the mercifully-soon-to-expire satellite radio subscription that came with my recently-purchased car. Its general awfulness came back like a rash.

like minds

Yep… need another drink.

One thing you can say for right here right now is it's better than Van Halen *right now"

Which i recall was popular around the same time.

Oh Jesus (Jones)

Some day there will be a rash known as the Jesus Jones rash!

Oh my. Here come the vapors!

Van Hagar \m/...sorry but no

rockrockrecords

I can't even remember how that van Halen song went, i just remember the video

#blessed

Is that scene from "Dark Passage"? It doesn't get as much lip service as Bogie and Bacall's other 3 flicks.

If that's the one where most of the movie is filmed from Bogie's perspective, yes!

I don't know if I've ever seen the entire thing through to the end in one sitting, but I was thinking of it earlier today.

Mike, funny how terrible things stick in the brain

Jesus (Jones) that is.

Oh, my mental jukebox (the songs that live on endless repeat in my brain despite any recent stimulus) is not to be fucked with.

It's almost as bad as satellite radio.

haha. Unfortunately no subscription.

...in my case..."I'm still standing" has been a rent free PIA

The Bellrays are good for kicking that, Richard.

Riffs!

R-US!

HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we're rockin'!

I love it when "famous" is pronounced "faymous."

Same here. But I also love it when Lisa from the Bellrays says pretty much anything.

here, here!

Here, here, here!

So good

Hello everyone!

Rrrrrobbbbb:). HI!

🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣

ooo. I am all over that now. Thanks for that tip Mike!

Howdy Rob!

The pitter patter of tiny broadcaster feet.

Hey Rob!

Wednesday exists between the Big Holly Jolly and almighty NYE?!

This is the song/album I needed to reset post mas

Worst NYE stories? GO!

one of the best BD songs, imo

@Mike, got any Freddie Roulette handy, we just lost him sadly, one of the most unique lap steel players ever?

Oh man, too lengthy and soul crushing to relive

@Ambrose, Oooh, I don't know him but I do love me some lap steel. I shall investigate for next week!

bobby banger

WTF did I call him on mic? Bobby "Boom Boom Magic Dick Dylan" or something like that?

LOL

@Mike, played with Earl Hooker, Bo Dudley, (yes Dudley) and a bunch of other bands from the 60's right on up to relatively recently.

Bobby boombap busta folk funker dylan

Jr.

Esquire

(UK)

Ambrose, I know Bo Dudley! He's on some comps I have somewhere.

oh wow, surely didn't think this was from 2022

good evening mike and fellow wednesdorks

DSM, the Bon Enfant track? Yeah, some weird yacht rock vibes in the background of that one. I likes.

Hey Andrew!

Yeah, the Bon Enfant. I likes as well, had that 70's bass sound

So much good Sault!!!!

Hi Andrew!

@Mike, sweet, End Of The Blues is really quite something fyi.

woof Andrew

😍this band!

I really like the Bon Enfant one. No idea why, but it makes me think of Linda Ronstadt.

Chronixx in the sault house ! 🔥🔥🔥

JERRY WITH THE DEETS!

Know his voice anywhere

HNY pit crew 🎉

Hey Selecta!!!!!!!!

HNY

Ahhh yeahhh

@Selecta Jerry, same to you mon!

🥳🥳🥳

S E L E C T A

J I M B O O

FW = GOOD

The Latest Band Which Must Not Be Named Upon The Airwaves.

Also love the album title.

you should be on cable 😂

The Freeform Pathogen (After Hours Edition w/ HOTTT BONUS ADULT CONTENT.)

duckwolf

Hang on, kids...

let it be

Confession: I haven't listened to Monoshock in eons and hearing Cryptozoological Disaster right now is seriously making me question my life choices.

nice edit

of all the times i want to use the fecemelt emoji, and the emojis are not working on my browser rn.

@Mike, I've never heard them and I am questioning your life choices too!

I think I made this radio edit around 2004. That means its survived more laptops and external drives than I have fingers.

🫠

😭😭😭😭

hi colin :)

🧠🥪my face patty-melted

💩🔥 or was that a typo, Colin???

@Colin, how's your face now?

I think it's time to play Skullflower

mmmmm melty

...or G.G. Allen!

melted away

Guud Stuffs 🎼🎶🎵🎼

🫠

Oh heck yeah!

Jimbo, I tried for years. Those too-cool-for-school noise rock Skullflower weirdos knew I was a poser.

nice! I got to see smirk this past year. they were pretty good!

Timed this well for the conversation!😝

This Smirk song is revealing how much my FCC editing skills haven't really changed in 20+ years.

much more precise

Mhm

Back-masking me into possession 👹

🌟 Happy Days to you, DJ SelectaJerry! 🌟

Yeah, if you play my show backwards it says "YOU NEED TO WRITE YOUR MORTGAGE / RENT CHECK"

Selecta in the house like DJ Nugget q102💚💛🖤

mmm chicken nugget

And the gold nugget item from Pokemon games 🟡

Of interest for fellow Celibate Rifles freaks: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/damothemusical

thanks Mike! I have to dig out my CR CDs!!

"Crypto-Zoological Disaster" is my favorite song title of the week, maybe even the month

Belated Hi/hellos to richard, Ambrose, Mike! I've been listening to the show while wrestling with staying logged in to Twitter and washing the dishes

Flamin' Hot Cheetos is my vote for fave song title of the week

Yikes, the very beginning of the Sinatra song sounded to me like the opening of the Carpenters' "Superstar"

This almost sounds like a Scott Walker dealio

Did you see the Bellrays' NYE show at Asbury Lanes when the singer berated the apathetic crowd who were only there to see Hunchback?

What's that red stuff coming out of my wrists!?!👀

I was introduced to this song by Waldorf and Statler.

lol Ambrose

Waldorf and Statler are the cultural gatekeepers the world needs right now.

It was nice to hear the Celibate Rifles.

yes and yes!!!!

one of my favorite purchases this year

And this is beautiful!!

This Garrett T Capps album is definitely one of my faves of the year. Glad y'all dig it, too!

This is a good "driving home from an adventure" song

WAS

I would like more of "driving home from an adventure" in 2023, please.

for sure

Acid dad 🔥🔥🔥

Jerry, watch the video for that one when you get the chance. A worthy experience.

Hey Alexa...play me something like "driving into a maelstrom with stale Funyuns and no potable water"

BILLY

Jimbo, you owe me a seltzer. (Because I just spat mine out.)

Ambrose, aye. She's the best! Can't wait for the new album.

MUST CONSERVE FLUIDS!

Nice

PRECIOUS. BODILY. FLUIDS.

@Mike, yessir, I hope she tours the U.S. next year!

Are you talking about saving the pasta water for the sauce?

THAT, TOO

How do you like your pasta water, aldente?

Chef, yes, what would you say is the appropriate amount? My go-to measurement is 3/4ths of my Trenton Artworks mug, but I am open to expert advice if it leads elsewhere.

i mean, if you're a professional like me (BAM!), your pasta water will turn out good enough not just to USE it for the sauce, but for it to BE the sauce

WATER! BAM!

Noted! I'll just chug it from now on.

Hi Mike and the crew. I love John Cale and especially Paris 1919.

Ok! Just don't wait for it to cool down, otherwise it loses all the taste :)

Hey Marcus! I think you'll find limited pushback on that sentiment here. And I stand by what I said two weeks ago: It's a Christmas album. Just like Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

And speaking of Christmas, my several-days-late holiday favorite is up next. Sing it if ya know it.

🎼

Playing this Styrenes song on the radio around Christmas is as much tradition for me as decorating the tree.

ALL the WRONG People are Dying 🤬

And if you're wondering why, just ... wait.

much love

Never heard of the styrenes until now and I’m a fan now - thanks Mike

This show has been awesome. Thx!

I was torn last night to hear one of Bob Marley's grandchildren passed :(

Thanks Lj!

Ossy, I just saw that about an hour ago. Super sad.

Gautha, that's great! They were awesome!

This song gives you a bit of perspective

*Gautham (sorry for the misspelling!)

12 Days of Christmas! Let’s GOooo0ooo!🎄☃️🎁. What’s up, SUKI?!? Hi, Danosaur!

Speak of the dead, MrM!!

DJ MikeLupica, why not play an announcement at 10pm stating that listener discretion bit because of indecent material and blah blah from the hours of 10pm - 6am yadda yadda????

This song makes me feel like I'm waltzing with a German

rounding the corner

gleaming the cube of 10:30 EST

Wishing everyone a great rest of the week and a happy new year!

happy new year dj corpuscular and the pit crew. I'm staying tuned in but leaving the chat for the evening.

gn

Happy 2023!

Same to you, Ossy!

⭐😁🌟🟡

That necks tune was built for a cold ending but no such luck it faded

Thank you for the show, Mike!

I hear a cold ending, unedited @ 17:14

Cheers, TAndy!

And yes, I'm busted. I cut out early on the Necks track. Worthy the full investment, tho!

😂🤣

*Worthy OF the full investment, rather.

check ya neck

ohh nice return

Great ending to a great music filled year Mike, thank you very much, Happy New Year to you and yours!🙏

Buck curren beautiful track 🔥

Lol lolz

DJ MikeLupica! Another TopNotch Show! Many thanks! Big cheers! Kind regards! Happy Days!

Thanks Mike, HNY chat!

Cheers to all the Dears, especially those with Big Ears! Happy New Year! 🎊🪅🎉 🖤💀

I can't wait for my "Wow 2022 feels JUST LIKE yesterday" routine for NYD.

Peas out, friends. Good hang tonight. Thanks for making 2022 a gas!

🙏🏼🎶🔥
