Pre-gaming, are we?

You told me to dance with drink 😵‍💫🤠🤑

I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU, DAD! 🤣

Hahaha, nicely played.

L0LZ

Helloooo pitcrewers

And hello Mike and MrM

and

Hello!

Hello richard

Mike, Mr. M and Rob!!

See you in the pit, crew.

YEAHH WEDNESDORKS

Hello!

Greetings, all! Lovely to see you here.

WPRB, where the wicked will never trouble you.

Wicked Wednesdorkday ...Hello Mike!

Awesome openings of Sounds from Africa like Wild Thornberrys

Ossy, I heard Krista play Francis Bebey this week and I remembered how much I love him. #stealingfromotherDJs

I think I recall her playing that as well and LOL, the steal!

prb djs are there to be stolen from!

100%. Would be lost without PRB fam.

I played at least three things tonight I first heard on other WPRB shows.

this is great btw. and apropos of nothing, did you see Frank Thomas of the old Mets died, and Ira and Georgia were mentioned re: the Yo La Tengo origin story! nyt obits today.

M83 🤎🤎🤎

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/16/sports/baseball/frank-thomas-dead.html

I did see that Frank Thomas passed, but didn't read the NYT obit. But that's wild! Also, damn, forgot to pull a Screaming Trees record for Van Conner of the Screaming Trees, who also checked out.

Mike, did you see Jordan Peele answered more than a few questions about Nope (as .gif'd above)?

https://gizmodo.com/jordan-peele-answers-nope-questions-shoe-angels-sequel-1850003321

What? When? Where?

Ahh, I see you have posted a link. We just watched Nope with the kid this weekend. She loved it.

NO SPOILERS

Hiiii everybody

Pup! Welcome!

Drink in hand, sitting solo but dancing in spirit

Hiiiigh DJ•PUP! Cheers 🥃

IGGY POP❣️

That last song was a cool space jam

And big CHEERS to DJ JonSolomon for the great show!

Dj pup the poet laureate of wprb

You're sweet to say that MrM.

I do all my best dancing while seated.

" the poets don't write nothing at all they just stand back and let it all be"

Acknowledging and hat-tipping your Bruce reference there, Space Cowboy.

This Shilpa Ray is such a good release

Hello Space Cowboy! You're too kind

Shilpa Ray is so surprising

DJ Horsewater is so extra surprising

Hey pitcrew and Mike!

Shilpa Ray is God (is her Twitter handle)

Hey Horsewater!

surprise Mr M

also what a twitter handle! hard to argue

🐎🌊

Tim Curry aka Nigel Thornberry and Ben Ravencroft the evil Witch Man from Scooby-Doo

SCUMBAG

SO SAY WE ALL.

@Mike, thanks for playing Jobriath. I've heard of him but never checked him out

Rob, Jobriath is awesome! That song isn't really representative of what the rest of the record is like, but it's highly recommended. Check "Heartbeat" on Youtube and swoon!

OK, have escaped from a 12 hr work day and AM READY 2 RAWK

Jimbo, I have a two hour and ten minute Hubert Selby Jr. spoken word piece lined up for the rest of the show. You're just in time!

beefy

Impossible Beefheart

Beyond Beefheart?

Count me in, just add a soupcon of Steven J. Bernstein and it will be a dream date.

Vegan Conflict-free Beefheart

Sustainably Sourced Beefheart

Lab-grown Beef-less Beefheart

There is no ethical consumption under Captainalism.

Three pointer, Jon!

Don't Filet my Vliet...

I gots no game to bring. You guys win.

Get In the (Don) Van (Vliet)

I thought too much about Real Things today that I need to exercise a different brain flab

You are all winners, quality work

Mike, I will check out "Hearbeat" and other songs of his. Thanks!

Wise Intelligent and Culture Freedom are still such great monickers.

Also, Mike, my wife was happy to hear both Captain Beefheart and Ganser, and in the same set!

Nice!

Jon, totally agree. Also, Dave the Obscure played the War song that PRT sampled in that track last week. A revelation to me!

moss icon! nice

1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣3️⃣❣️ Let’s GOooo0oo!

Jimbo said he wanted to rock, so you all have to suffer now.

Awww Hellz Yeeaahh!

\m/

Tuning in for the easy listening music

There's an SSD cover on the Phantasm tape? Sure!

🙏🏼 you’re welcome!

Danosaur! Hi!

💟

💜

MrM!

Was Gentle Oddity going to be the follow-up to Space Oddity?

We Rawking🪨

👁👁

✌️ poke TAndy eyes

NYUK NYUK NYUK

Don't go all Moe on TAndy, MrM

Hey all! This would be a good walk up song!

Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Shan’t Stop

Shemp Stop 🤣🙃🥸😎

THIS PART RIGHT HERE

This was my stripper song

LOL

YEOWCH

THIS! NOW!

Hey, my plane has free WiFi with enough bandwidth to stream WPRB! This beats the in-flight music options.

I may have no chance of being a pro baseball player, but I will still go to bat any day for old Scorpions.

Awesome, Bud!

Great first take. Now can we do a version with more energy?

Safe travels, Bud Burroughs!

L0LZ @Danosaur!

Heard a little sample in there that's also used in an Avalanches song

Oooh, this set keeps getting better

Guud Stuffs 🎵🎶, DJ MikeLupica! Cheers!

Rockin' through the sky, Bud Burroughs

This is why WPRB is the station everyone can agree on at work

Personally -- and this is just me -- I think I would be a trifle put off by an airline that offered Neurosis as an in-flight listening option.

Well we’re experiencing some turbulence, so it seems fairly appropriate right now.

Danosaur I’d like to work where you work.

Yeah, I work at WPRB and that's not even true there!

I work from home so I guess that explains a lot

Haha!

That was me legit laughing, not Nelson Muntzing.

Awkward. New CoWorker. 😬

Don't worry, Mike. Everything is coming up Milhouse

Damn, I was aiming for Lisa's boyfriend Colin.

My woofers are crying inside

💚💛🖤💚💛🖤

I just got off one of those damn work calls. Missed soooo much F%#K

As long as you're not Ralph Wiggum I think you're okay

Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabappel were in the Starlite Lounge making a baby. And I saw the baby. And the baby looked at me.

Instant Bebe

The Church of the Holy Pathogen

Testify!

YES, Danosaur!

My cat’s breath smells like cat food

so does mine 😂

Ralph Wiggum quote, Bud?

that's unpossible!

Indeed. There are so many.

Christ Almighty, this is a good song

Getting eclectic. I like it

The Barbara Dane? Yeah, that whole album rules. The perfect record to piss off all the right people.

Holy or secular, good music is good music

I needs a gospel show, I swear to Gawd

dog bless

Just ask Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Break it down

Tell it, sister

On WPRB no one can hear you cry

I’m cry

You have no tear ducts, MrM. I'm not falling for that

I have so mucho ducks

Get yer tear ducts in a row then get back to me

hiccup

Dana K syndrome :)

I love the fact that Sun Ra had no need for the piano to be in “tune” by mere earthling standards.

🦆💨 🦆💨 🦆💨

Eau de Damp Basement

🧀

Are those ducks farting, MrM?

What?! Nooo! Running!!? 😝🤗

those ducks are makeing chemtrains smh

Don’t be a DuckFart, TAndy

Terrific show, DJ Mike. I saw Kid with Nick Cave long ago.

Nice! I only ever saw him perform with the Knoxville Girls, but he's the coolest, no doubt.

Garrett T. Capps & NASA Country. 2022 fave

Same here! Such a killer record.

DuckFart TAndy >:L

THE SMITHS ❤️♥️❤️

Great Selection, DJ MikeLupica!

Getting Specials vibes

SELECTA👂

Somebody should tell Gordon S. and Steven M. that one name only billing should only work for women. Prince is the only exception.

🖤🤍🔥💥

In conversation, I refer to Morrissey as "Steve" exclusively.

THE WHITE STRIPES ❤️🤍❤️

brand Numün. yes!

DJ MikeLupica! Many thanks for another TopShelf Show! 🥃 Big cheers! Kind regards to you, Sir!

Yes, tha nk you for the show! good soundtrack for the back-to-back work meetings tonight

Thanks all! Good hang tonight. Stick around for an encore presentation of this week's Total Tobias.

Couldn't get in the chat, excuse me, listener lounge much tonight, but enjoyed the show all the same thanks Mike.

Cheers!

Thank you for the show

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and awesome starlight, Mike!
