FIRST

SECOND!

third

Numbuh 4!

Hey ho, let's go!

Marshmallow Fluff!

Indeed!

Fluffy like a Mareep 🐑 ⚡

My dad got face shingles a couple weeks before I got married and he could not shave. Surprised us by figuring out how to do so the night before. Looked good!

Yup, my 2nd shingles shot sucked. For some reason the 1st shingles shot I had with a Covid shot and it was fine.

No Prince visits though.

This long buildup of Act We Act 😙👌

Mike, Nicole relays her thanks for playing Sugar from the other room.

Ya got robbed, Dennisons!

BIG UPS NICOLE

I totally forgot about this song until this past weekend. I like a guitar sound that you can knock down a wall with.

She's singing along and everything.

RANDOM KEY CHANGE!!!!

Thank goodness you can’t wear out CDs, I would’ve worn this out.

Jon, tell Nicole the same is happening here

Yo Mike! Like that guitar/hammer image like an axe but more musical.

It's the Wednesday Night Sugar Singalong!

Message also relayed!

Hey Ambrose! And everyone else, too. Sorry, a bit discombobulated in here but thrilled to see you all here. I shall now bobulate.

I’m trying out TuneIn tonight on our Roku—normally I use a regular radio—and it’s nice seeing the playlist immediately updating without having to reload the chat website.

I like this song a whole lot more than the other "single" from this record.

Word is Screaming Females are touring the region!

Marissa from SF just did a guest background vocal on a Nina Nastasia song (that I ran out of time for tonight).

Love this HS release!

@Jon, oh, next week's show?

That Homeboy Sandman record is indeed awesome. Gotta pick that one up on vinyl, fer sure.

Was wearing me Crass T all day!😃

Ambrose, nice! I'm sure Commie Francis would be proud.

@Mike, one should hope😉

DIO!!!!

\m/

🤍🔥🖤

As I often say (about many things, this song included): "Kids, there's two kindsa people in this world -- the ones who clockwise the volume when "Last in Line" by DIO comes on the radio, and fuckin' liars."

ha! I had to put on my headphones :)

A romantic Wednesday night at Ice Station Solomon sorting paperwork for our taxes while listening to mid-80s Dio.

Nice recovery!😜

Live the dream, Jon.

If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up!

I'd love to see a multi-part documentary that gets to the bottom of what Flea thinks of Henry Rollins.

Call it Ouroborbros!

Oral History of “The Chase (1994)”

Mary, I laughed.

lol Mike

@Mike, THAT was a great story!😆

"THAT'S NOT A SIDE EFFECT: The Mike Lupica Story"

incidentally I got a shot in both shoulders yesterday (flu plus covid booster), I think the copious pushups helped keep the side effe...erm consequences...to a minimum

good evening fellow wednesdorks

Good strategy, Captain!

Welcome, Andrew!

THIS

Indeed, Ambrose. This record kinda rules.

Hi Andrew!

And THIS

I'm seeing these guys in a month!

@Captain Ahab Hi! Where are they playing?

Nice!

In Cambridge, MA!

they're in brooklyn on the 24th of March

no philly shows that I can see

Awww.... 😭

💛

🤍💕🤍

Steely Dan samples and all.

I think this De La Soul song was on the mix CD that my wife and I gave to guests at our wedding.

awwww

https://soundcloud.com/ninja-tune/solid-steel-radio-show-24-5-1

There was an article at some point that talked about how a whole generation doesn't know De La Soul because they weren't on streaming. It made me very sad. To die so close to this changing is extra awful.

we gotta know what else was on the mix

Do you need me to check, because I know where my disc is...

Jon can probably find it faster than I can!

Ok. I'm off to the living room.

Wow, first disc I grabbed!

No De La though. I'd like the blender we got you back, please.

The Living Room. Where Jon keeps all his wedding favors.

Ahh, damn. I might be confusing the wedding disc with the first mix CD I gave to my wife during courtship.

Y'know, inbetween barn dances and such.

@Captain Ahab, drat ...I'm in the Philly burbs, hope you enjoy the show up yonder!

@Mike, check for hayseeds!

Funny to think about mix CDs as wedding favors. At least it wasn't a mixtape. Nowadays, we'd probably need to do a double 7" on colored vinyl to impress anyone.

Great set😍

@Mike, more than likely.

I have a friend who was engaged but kept pushing back his wedding because he and his bride-to-be were working on a massive compilation to mark the occasion. Needless to say, he never finished it and they're no longer together. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

rough

@Jon😝😍❤💔😜

Thee Headcoats

Once I heard it was up to three discs I had my suspicions.

Oy.

Heavens To Murgatroyd!

This is the only Billy Childish affiliated CD I ever owned strangely.

Jon, that sounds like something I would do to avoid doing taxes!

That's impressive, Ambrose. There were times when Billy Childish releases were accepted at most major gas stations as currency.

...I have some serious catching up to do.

I believe all through out the pandemic he actually stepped it up and was churning out album after album!

I know he had an exhibit of his visual art in NYC recently.

this CK is such a good release!

The way the guitars come in right there is so so so so so so GOOD.

yes! I got to see him with GBV in New York around this time. Great show!

There's that thing of "first concert / most recent concert / most surprising concert / etc" going around and for Most Surprising my friend Liz said (in part): "Maybe the time Chris Knox put my toes in his mouth?"

rest in power David Jude Jolicoeur 😭

Strychnine! Covered by both The Fall and The Funstigators.

Those "F" bands know what's up, eh Chris?

Yep! Hey: Can I be a creant instead of a miscreant, DJ Mike?

No, but you can be a "Do-Well" if "N'er" does not suit you.

Perfect! *snicker* I'm old, I got my shingles shots (x2)....

Im a regular Dudley Do-well

OK, the party may now commenceth.

This Krys O song always starts playing when Jimbo enters any room.

nice jimb! I just arrived too

Hey Colin.

all my stuffs are done for the day, i can sit and enjoy some old timey radio

It my theme song!

You missed the moustache twiddling and penny farthing race, Colin.

now what am i ever to do with my pocket of pennies and stash full of tonic?

might as well practice some interpertive dance to accomany jimb entrence

I was pleased when I rolled in to the community bike garage I volunteer at and wprb was spewing Thee Headcoats!

god speed raquel

Jimbo, was it playing in the garage or in your headphones?

jimb, they are trained to clear the radio of any gobbledygook when they see you coming

In the garage! I thought I did a video, but only a picture :(

Mix tape/CD makes me (almost) wish we did a proper wedding. Maybe a renewal down the road.

When my kid turned three we made mix CDs for those who came to her party of all songs with "3" in the title. De La Soul was certainly on that one!

Shilpa Ray🔥💥🔥

That is a fun way to celebrate. And possibly educate.

New Jersey's own! (I don't care that she lives in NYC now, she was born in Dirty Jerz.)

Was Gimme 3 Steps by Skynyrd in the mix?

This Shilpa Ray is great.

Q: Can Joe Dolce's "Shaddap a-you Face" *ever* work on a seduction mixtape?

Team NJ all the way like Ant Man's, Michael Douglas!

Lee, she's awesome. Whole record is godhead.

One way to find out, Mike!

Never, Mike. Unless you're seducing a rodeo clown.

(Can never resist a Joe Dolce punchline)

A: only if it the only song on the mix tape repeated endlessly

yup looks like 2023 is shaping up to be another banger of a new music year

YAY!

Fucking Brad.

mkay folks I'm heading out, gnight all!

😶‍🌫️

thanks for the tunez mike

gn capn

Peas out, Cap'n!

Since WPRB chat is where I, we’ll call it socialize, I love any music trend that includes worst/best & lists. Side note: My husband always keeps his desert island stuff to three!? Three? I thought standard was five, and, after exasperating hours of (in)decision, it bumps to ten.

Wait, there's rules?!?

Three albums? Hours? Three crates? Three moderate pickup loads of records?

This is great!

So glad this is a band and not a soccer/futbol team. It's HOT!

Right? It depends on what we want to delve into- usu three films, books & if he hints at albums I scoff & walk away at his delusion it’s possible.

I've never tried to make a desert island list because I worry it would be lame and people would be judgy. Like: "Led Zeppelin II, a Scritti Politti 7", and a Monie Love single."

Langendorf United 2 Fontaines D.C. 1

They are friends with Al Doum & the Fariyds, which is very high praise.

I bookmarked this one for tomorrow listening in full.

I would watch that match!

Hull 5 London 0 - Housemartins!

sooo many bookmarks on Wednesdays here

LOL Ambrose.

Oops! Hull must've scored in injury time.😜

Fish & Roses! They covered Blue Orchids' "A Year with No Head."

Housemartins! 🐦

Anybody see the Cymande documentary from a year or two ago? I think it was on the festival circuit, but haven't seen it pop up on any streaming services yet. Looked great, judging by the trailer.

No but i just bookmarked it...

This is sublime in headphones, BTW...

Nope but am intrigued!

@Mike, dug that Serve Gainsbourg track, loved the guitar parts

Right on, Ambrose. That song is a total jaw-dropper.

*Serge* damn U spell check!👀

As wee kids back on the auld sod Je T'aime was THEE slow song to dance too.

spell check not up to stitching terms

@richard, taint sir!

Enjoyed the tunes tonight Mike. Thanks!

Cheers, Roffle!

Are people using cassettes these days for real?

Thanks Mike!

fun indeed - cheers!

I didn't hear you do the 'hock phlegm' thing Mike no!

Good hang tonight, y'alls. Thanks for being you.

Yeah, fascists stinky!!!!!

FRIGG OFF FASCISTS!

Thanks Mike & Pit Crüe!

Mike you are the best man, thank you!

Jimbue!👀

Be well pitcrewzers!🙏

🔥

The turkey continues to sweat!

Bo!

Thanks Mike!
