"Turbo Rock" by The Meatmen. The Freeform Pathogen Wed Feb 8 with Mike Lupica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

WTF?

Oh I’m late

Hi, DJ MikeLupica!

Chronicle Guidance Publications, Inc :)

Free? All in!

Not missin' this one...!!

Schenectady, New York mention. Radio radio radio...

Is the Pirate ship-themed Radio station built?!?

Not yet, Dennisons, but progress is rolling down from the mountains like water!

Woo!

Anyone can have a pirate ship but a pirate barge is where it's at. The cat's spats of watercrafts

There was a sea shanty themed restaurant in Stone Harbor with blue lit ships that blew my mind as a kid.

The running gag about WPRB's "Barge" studio is that we want to decorate it like a seafood restaurant. Tatty ol fishing net on the walls, barnacles, clam shells, etc.

I need to read the rest of that pamphlet! Such a cliffhanger! 😳

Guinness is a part of us time or we are just wasting the fuck out of our time. But that's just me. :)

This is not a waste!

I especially appreciate the pronunciation key for "announcers".

It's not your fault that you appear in a pamphlet that recommends The Rush Limbaugh Show.

I really, really want the Barge to go all-out seafood restaurant themed. I might even cry if I get to see it then.

I know. A dubious honor, Marcus.

It's the infamous "Brief 54"

Ha! Everything about it has me Chuffed Bits #Brochure

Mary, I have been googling things like "seafood restaurant decorations + fire codes"

Mary, can you get your hands on any Red Lobsteresque netting for the walls? Bonus if this is done under the cover of darkness.

Dibs on calling my show Rusty Scupper 2.

Did someone from WPRB "liberate" the iconic welcome mat from the Route 1 Denny's in 1990-something, or is that just an awesome dream I am remembering?

🥷 🥅🦞

I "liberated" a Denny's coffee mug then.

Somewhere there's a photo of two WPRB DJs with the Denny's waiter who would serve us all the time after shows holding all the swag we gave him on his last night working.

So many crimez. This is starting to feel like an Aldo Nova song.

The discussion I mean. Not the Kikagaku Moyo song.

JON, NAME THE DJs.

My relatives and Jon are not into the shelfish thing, but the Dennys' coffee. sure.

One of them is Sean K Murphy. The other one is...probably Matt Robb?

@Jon I can definitely get some netting

Hmmm... both still employed.

Gotta be Marv R

Oh

Banger alert

Great question: Has Marvin been to a Denny's?

The walls will also need random wooden pulleys

And busted out with exactly how many CRIMEZ?!?

The wprb.com issue from earlier was due to a MySQL machine that had an issue. Since resolved!

Question: Why on Earth am I playing the Meatmen? Answer: I don't know but I still know ALL of the words to this song. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

Thanks Jon!

Evenin' Mike! Pit cruisers!

TikTok it or it didn’t happen DJ MikeLupica

I didn’t know it was legal to play the Meatmen

"I just did a nameserver config to re-organized your DNS records and an apache configuration."

It is in New Jersey. Murphy enshrined it.

This one is OUTSTANDING

Second time The Meatmen have come up for me today.

(EVERYONE BACKS SLOWLY AWAY FROM JON)

HA

careful with word placement

😱😆

You MUST now, Sir, play " Fantasy" by Aldo Nova.

😨🤗

Jimbo, I totally have that record.

Or rather, my hesher wife does.

You conjured the demon earworm, now you must FEED it

There are many things I'd like to be remembered for, but "the guy who played the Meatmen and Aldo Nova in the same radio show" may or may not be one of them,

Stuff of LEGENDS

Marvin Rosin? That man? He is Beyond and goes so many PLACES! I dunno, just sayin'

👺 👂 🐛

Exactly MrM!

Still looking for the Denny's photo, did find this one of me from the 1993 (?!) Xmas marathon (???!!!) - https://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcane/2269949278/in/pool-727066@N22/

Evening Mike

Chris Bailey!

Hello Ossy and all others! Welcome one, welcome all!

I’ll bet that was the first Xmas marathon I heard

Saints preserve us 🙏

I don’t think I knew enough to listen in 1992, though I brought the station that November

howdy everyone!

Found the station, stupid autocorrect

Hi Rob!

Mary, I thought you meant you bought it 🥳

That was a fun trip through the Flickr photos, where was that Wawa??

Balloon Man!!

Hi Ambrose!

BALLOON MAN!!!

TOPICAL

Bruce

Which Wawa?

There used to be TWO WAWAS.

BALLOON MAN!!

🤡 🎈 we all float down here

https://www.flickr.com/photos/sugarcane/2269953132/in/pool-727066@N22/

Town aint big enough for two whole wawas

good evening!

@Mary Jones, I found my heart here in2012. It only has gotten insanely better in the last few years!.

That's the Wawa that was replaced by the train station Wawa that some have said looks like "The Wawa at the 9/11 Memorial" or "The Apple Store Wawa."

-Some

Ahhh wow that's quite the remodel

@Rofflestomp yes it has

The Brutalist Wawa

You are are an sincerely great presenter! Thank you.

Be right back, someone wants to show me her student film...

Now that is a good mosh part.

Jon, you have that sorta thing. LOL. Really, good for you! Good stuff.

I hope they are also good shit!

It's a call

BILLY

I would put money on your call, BTW.

Not English. Still rocks as fuck!

Sorry to be such a bother, thank you Mike. Awesome stuff.

Wrong station, right DJ!

Mark E. Smith 5 years gone

Wait, is today the deathiversary??!

Too many!

No Jan. 24

Close enough!

Nice segue, DJ Mike

From one Mad Man of Manchester to another!

SLEAFORD MODS 💛💛💛

It got suddenly, magically loud in my house

That is the Magic Of Radio, Jimbo!

Either that or there's a tech problem here in the Starlite Lounge

For all you Fall fans out there a bunch of past members have regrouped including original guitarist Martin Brahma and are calling themselves House Of All.

Who is not here? Just a part of us? Don't know.

Glad for their part.

House of All sounds a lot like Blue Orchids, unsurprisingly (imho)

@Chris, indeed.

Whoops. That wasn't actually a profanity edit, that was me yanking a cord out of the mixer by accident.

#AmateurHour

Apologies to Libretto

I thought it was a #DramaticPause

#PitCrewIsHereForYouDJMike

#RebrandIt! #PitCrewRule!

FCC will ask the relevant questions. LOL Insane as they might be.

Chill sound

Echo Guitar...

GOTS MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM

Thanks for the pitcrew always Mike! Make my Day

Rumble

We live to serve, Roffle!

And thanks for that sir!

Neil pick up dem moon rocks...

It *should* sound like it’s playing on a busted jukebox, that’s part of the charm

"I used to have this thing about Link Wray I used to play him every Saturday" - Mark E. Smith, "Neighbourhood of Infinity"

I agree and concur

with MaryJones MaryJones

Angst, "Neil Armstrong"!!!

M87 is the most powerful known source of radio energy except Freeform Pathogen

Shit in my freezer has me at issues. Thanks for understanding richard lyons! lol

Hahaha! I gotta turn that into a bumpersticker, Richard!

m87 and the starlight lounge connected via a single radio wave dude

Any radio signal above 100 Mhz. can go into deep space. WPRB = 103.3 Mhz

The aliens first contact with earth is the Key of Dubya ID lolol

Now can this signal go past the solar umbrella?

Asking for a friend.

It can go in the trial galaxies, Rofflestomp

Rofflestomp, I feel ya, I just emptied my freezer of veggies.

yes greetings to all with positive dental outlooks

heya Commie :)

Hi, DJ CommieFrancis!

h richard and mr. malcontent!

That keyboard just took this to another level.

@ Commie: A belated "Thank you" for your boat themed show, cause I lost power near the end of your show...

oh you're welcome! i guess the power of my boat show just blew out the power grid

And look at these folks who do such homeworks! Thanks you silly monkeys who defy all trees with gravity with brains!

This song makes me wish I played piano so I could kick the stool over in this part.

Fuck yeah!

Here!

Also: I stole this Ray Wylie Hubbard song from DJ Krista, who played it last week. My first time hearing it, I laughed out loud three times, which Isn't Usually A Thing for me. But anyway, hat-tip Krista!

Ambrose, I just read your post about The Fall regrouping into House Of All. Looking forward to hearing more of it! https://houseofall.bandcamp.com/

The Grifter's Hymnal

Richard Lyons, thanks for mentioning the post by Ambrose Hughes! I missed it! Cheers to each of youse!

Z!

Great album!

When they give you whiskey free to tune up the piano you understands a Stephen Stills verse.

This is that vibe.

do it Z!

2 beards and a Beard in the houuuuuuuse

I stepped away from the chat for a few minutes and I missed a crucial CRUCIAL YOUTH call and response. Sad!

two-fer wed-nes-day

oh my buttt yes

No, you can't stop after Waitin' for the Bus!!

This is why you no longer get hall passes, Chris.

Hey, Mike! I quit dopey Twits. Nice Thanks.

this music is for the birds

For the Eagles

says the guy who can't part with mad stacks of martin denny records acquired at thrift stores across the nation

🦤🦤🦃🦆💨

duckfarts, or fuckdarts?

u kno whut

it's 10 pee em, we can cuss now

I have an attention span. I love being here. Fuch Math!

you can play Fantasy by Aldo Nova 12 times in a row if you want to

i would look forward to that song swipe segment.

So fuch matters, but then nothing fuch matters. All good.

Divide by zero etc...

yo doods

I don't want to die because of nutbags. Way too many nukes. Rather launch music!

Can The Barge have an actual Listener Lounge where I can eat a hoagie and shotgun a beer?

@ Mike: Thanks for doing the Impossible!

This station means so much to me, and has for 30 years. Growing up in rural Pennsylvania, it was a lifeline to a larger world. Keeping it going through the pandemic has been a Herculean effort on the part of you all, and I know I’m not alone in wanting to thank the station.

DSM, probably not, but there's a park nearby with a bench and one of those portable cig-butt receptacles. Seems proimising.

Well done and big cheers to DJ MikeLupica and all involved with the satellite location! And staying operational during extreme days! 🛰 🎶🎵

MARY, I'M NOT CRYING I JUST HAVE SOMETHING IN MY EYE

I second Mary's sentiments.

I remember the first pre-recorded pandemic broadcast, then the first live broadcast, then the first in-studio broadcast... exciting times!

This is amazing!

Bud, it's all going in the coffee table book someday!

Robo was a GOD!

Rather good one actually. Best of the best for quite a while.

I did, in fact, spend most of my day listening to Robo-DJ. It was still better than anything else on the dial.

Been digging this Kilynn Lunsford stuff

Programed by insanely smart folks.

DSM, yeah, me three! Super great record!

Also @Mike, if you like your Dion gritty, you HAVE to check out his album Born to be with you, phil spector produced in the 70's and dirgey as fuck. A song about Dion kicking heroin is a highlight

Oh wow! MUST HEAR! Thanks for the tip!

the work meetings have finally concluded. Full attention to more important matters (WPRB) can finally be given

Right on, TAndy!

i enjoyed the robo dj era, it was fun having no clue what was next.

Musik to send tanks to Ukraine!

I did a lot of Shazaming during the robo months, and resorted to googling lyrics when that didn't work.

Same, Bud! Robo still does a respectable job daily at 6am!

I feel a bit grateful that I only started listening to the station after the robo era

RoboDJ gonna get put out of work by ChatGPT

A smart folk with with a turntable or a decent knowledge of cool stuff! Those fuckers! Lucky us!

Ugh, I love the Langley kiddos

THE LANGLEY SCHOOLS MUSIC PROJECT ❤️

The saddest song that I ever heard was the one that WPRB played before going off the air for the night during the late 2009 or so years...

Alan: probably "Wind in the Rigging" by Young Marble Giants?

There's a collection of youth orchestras doing Sun Ra that is funnnnn

@Mike: dunno, but after that the hiss of FM static...But Never Again!

I totally remember Rocky and Bullwinkle and not even the long shit., but weird shit too.

Before COVID

This new era is excellent!

Wow! Neil...Yes...

This Neil Vibe is my Favorite Neil Vibe

@Mike: cause it comes from the heart so much

Hi Mike, Listening in from L.A.! Glad I caught your show this evening.

Time Fades Away...my fave Neil.

JoeyMono! Holy hell, it's been many years old pal!

Sweet, I'll be around there next week Joey 😎 spreading the good word of good radio

I feel lame just chiming in to love that Neil Young song, but wow. That was great.

Pete, the whole record has that vibe. The Neil official bootleg series is too vast for me to keep up with, but that one is tops for sure.

I just bought a baritone guitar and this sounds right on. Just sayin.

Thanks for tonight's stuff Mike! Have a good night all!

Thanks Rofflestomp! Good hang tonight. Big pile of good stuff I didn't get to, but there's always next Wednesday.

Danelectro, Roffle? They made some fun, affordable ones a few decades back.

Later Roffle

see ya rof

No one saw that.

@jimboo, I went the cheap route, but I can do setup and fret dressing. Any guitar is awesome. Name brand is kinda silly these days.

N64 like music

cries

whut did you do TAndy?

This last set been killer Mike

@ Mike: Thanks for all the vibes tonight, Great show!

Nice, Roffle. Thanks Mike and gnight peeps!(⁠＾⁠∇⁠＾⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♪

DJ MikeLupica, another TopNotch Show! Many thanks! Big cheers! Kind regards to you, Sir!

Thanks Mike!

Excellent show as always, DJ Mike! Thanks for making my nighttime workout more bearable

Thanks a bunch! Toodles y'all!

Excellent show as always!

Always so good Mike, sorry to over out, but I love you excellent people. Good night!

Awesome chill starlight, Mike!

Ermmmmm

Steamy.....(Plankton voice)

I saw that

Boinggg~~~~~~~~~
