Total Tobias Wed Feb 22 with John Tobias on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Hello fellow rock and rollers. Another mellow start to transition from classical music. At least for this month. March might be different.

@ John Tobias (host) Yes, a smooth transition ...

Thanks

@ John Tobias (host) ... and then leading us into the honking vigor of Wizzard. Nicely done!

Transition king

Good afternoon. Did you see the news of an injury that took out one of the members of Flasher?

This is is sad news to me.

Word

For those who might not have heard - https://www.brooklynvegan.com/flasher-cancel-tour-as-taylor-mulitz-recovers-from-traumatic-brain-injury-with-multiple-fractured-bones/

Yikes, glad I played them for support

My mellow transitions will be shorter in March

I'm digging this.

That’s why I’m here

This almost sounds like Boy era U2

Just what I needed rn, a little Sebadoh. Mornin' John Tobias

Thanks, more like century hopping on that classic

Matador announced moments ago they've signed Lifeguard.

Can I take credit for the timing?

I'm confident they could not have done it without you.

Agreed

Some days, those were great days.

I remember when that Linda version of Elvis C single came out. 43 years ago wow. Linda rockin into the 80s

Then I remember

Her guitar player around this time was playing a gold top Les Paul. That’s usually a good sign

Yes to Roffle

Linda goes new wavish punkish. Always with stellar studio musicians veterans

Yup

Living in the USA (the roller skater Linda cover art) the lp before that had some good ones too

I was considering that album too

The cute ones were rather awesome. Or is that as sexist as it is. Bless there bitty hearts.

No comment

All good. They could rock.

Or.... stuff

Any tornadoes in Jersey today?

Asking for a friend.

Not sure, but I was 2 miles away from the danger zone at thaw moment of impact. Had slushy hail on my car.

Thaw equals the

Hail the almighty slush! wow.

TUSK! Love this tune. And lp. Lindsay lo fi magic

VOLUME UP

I was in Philly worried about my friends.

It all happened really fast

Tusk was was a so one off sorta album. loved it for that very reason.

Yay for Lindsay

Not That Funny and The Ledge. LB doing his home spun / hotel room whatever magic. Drumming on tissue boxes etc. FM 1979, Linda R 1980, Gary N 1979. Nice little slice of that straddling the decade era today

The Ledge was the one I played a few years back

10-11 years old. Remember hearing those sounds on the radio. Real striking. The station back then in the NJ area that happened to carry the call letters WPST (went thru many changes since) played all that stuff and more. New wave, punk, pop, rock, early hip hop dj spinning stuff...

When my son looks at me side ways, yea okay.

They must have fired those people

Ya. Like 10 diff series of firings. Firings each decade or more.

Tusk is their most PRB style offering to me

Marching band is a nuclear.

Bow Wow Wow, Ramones, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Michael Jackson, Journey, The Tubes; Grandmaster Flash, Rick Springfield, Go-Go's... all in the same set easily. 97.5

Circa 1981-1982

I thought you inferred same stage. 2 for two maybe, but bow wow wow.

We must have had all the post punk bands going around then

I shook John Anderson's hand outside of WXPN's studio in those days. lol.

At least he was nice enough to do that

True

@ John Tobias (host) Another great show, thanks!

Nice show sir. Thanks.

Thanks all
