JELLO IN THE HAT!

YELLO IS THE CAT!

Oh… HELLO in the Chat!

Fellow in the Flat (UK version.)

YES! ACES!

BELLOW IT, BE PHAT!

club goin up... on a WEDNESDAY

I honestly luv to SHOUT

Shout

LET IT ALL OUT

I'M NOT YELLING!!!!

im always yelling

HELLLLLOOOOOOOOO

STOP NOT NOT YELLING!

I WOKE UP LIKE THIS

Butterglory = Suggs, not Bugs.

My wife is prepared to follow the instructions of Manya Kahn

And she is

i feel my rage just melting away

Ouchie! 🥵

This sounds like Madeline Kahn!

I had a massage this morning, I don't think I need to do these body rhythms

My RAGE is like flames, flames up the side of my face…

wait what was the 3rd step?

Back to the bottom

Mike, you're shouting

raise your fist and PUNCH THE SKY!!!

I just snapped my stretch armstrong

Get it! https://www.ebay.com/itm/175000086262

Please SHOUT, cannot hear you

Hey mike!

Meadow meditation 😊

shout, shout, let it on out ...

I cut open my Stretch Armstrong within a week TAndy!

Only $14 Jimboo???

No work for me tonight so after I go pizza city the music will have my FULL attention

Sure it exists for 99 cents in a local thrift store!

S'up, pitcrew. Thanks for being here. I'm sorry for shouting while I was trying not to shout.

Loud CHEERS to you, DJ MikeLupica!! 📣

serenity now...insanity later

Thanks in advance for a great show Mike!

Wait! No, this show is gonna suck! I've been planning it for weeks!!

oh the annual Suck Show, my bad!

Yeah, there's the all-45s-on-the-webcam fundraiser show, and the sucky show.

Neither are federal holidays.

HELLO Mike! HELLO down there in the pit!

Heya Ambrose!

@Mike I had a Le Baron, '78 2 dr, ❤

Sunday vibing for me, this song! 💛😊🌟

A proper led sled, Ambrose!

Heck yeah, Ossy.

❤️🌈💕💥🏵️cymande

Like The Pharycide!!

More sinister than Peter Lorre 🤣

Had no idea who Peter Lorre was when I bought my first Kurtis Blow record. #instructive

Loved the yoga instructions earlier at the top of the hour..

lol lol lol

NEVER NOT SHOUTING

When I lived in CA everyone always said I was yelling, I was always like I'm just from NJ!!!

It totally is a jersey thing. When I visited Ohio years ago I was kindly asked by numerous people to not raise my voice. It was just my normal speaking voice

OMG TWILLEY!!!!!

Love Twilley

Samesies!

We shout to be heard above the ambient roar that is the garden state

Mmm them.l chords

I have a habit of speaking really quietly because I legitimately have no voice between what I consider normal and slightly hushed lolol

I'm only hearing the left channel on this song! I'm pretty sure both channels have been active up to now, but with all the shouting it's hard to tell.

Mike you absolutely legend for playing this right now

Bud, all better now?

Yep, stereo goodness!

The Twilley record got played on the sometimes-I-gotta-lick-the-contacts-on-the-headshell turntable, which was probably the culprit.

(DJ licks contacts on headshell)

Gotta keep your contacts properly moistened

Do you even lick the contacts on the headshell, bro? bumpersticker

Hahaha. Wouldn't drive with that outside of NJ.

lol true

Squid -- Didn't these guys used to sound like the Stranglers?

Or am I thinking of someone else who put out a record 18 months ago...

SECRET

MOAR.

⭕

🔨🔪👀

pizza time

HAHA

nice remix

LUV THIS

I could tell what this was immediately. Heard this so much on the Tony Hawk Underground 2 soundtrack

HOW DO U GET A GERMS BURN WHEN NO 1 SMOKES ANYMORE.

The BEST

GERMS 🦠🦠💚 more‼️

gimme gimme gimme gimme

A karaoke classic

Where mah Selecta at?

He's on tour with the Pope.

Playing this one in honor of the storm that's gonna cream the whole country... except for the northeast.

6th warmest winter on record for the philly area iirc

I believe it.

i've felt like a frame from calvin hobbs, calvin is sitting on his sled in all the snow gear but all just grass and no snow.

gotta be a record for least snow accumulation

All we have left is this Bunny Sigler record

Papa, tell me about the snow again?

talk about not shouting, me squashing it all down while the summer junkies gloat over this winter.

this may be what we needed. pardon me as i do a snow dance to the track exit

*Comments REDACTED

love love love this set break song... s'groooovy

wait, didn't LA have a blizzard warning this week?

it lasted ten mins

☀️😎

that's like a month in LA minutes

I thought I was gonna die Again

Take it to the bank...the Snow Bank! ❄️

I would welcome more vocal performances of 60's instrumental hits by our multitalented host.

Mike, I accept, but I can only vocalize in the style of Star Trek fight theme music.

Keeping the term 'hesher' alive. Don't let it die.

Jersey strong, Pete!

Did Fried also write the music they played whenever Kirk was puttin' the moves on some hot alien?

I liked to think of that as the love theme from ST.

https://www.avclub.com/r-i-p-gerald-fried-emmy-winning-composer-from-roots-a-1850133024

He was quite accomplished!

I did recognize his name when I saw his obit. I was a huge Star Trek fan as a kid, watched it every night in reruns.

Did wrestle with my brother when the Trek fight theme came on.

Hahahaha

Had to tune out unexpectedly for longer than planned. Did the nice man ever start yelling?

so much SHOUTING

yes we CAN

Can!!!

Malcolm Mooney!

Can We Do It? Yes We Faust!

Well, I am sorry I missed the yelling and everything that came with it.

Unfortunately I was unable to do Body Rhythms 22 and 23 because I haven't seen Body Rhythms 1-21 yet.

Was just about to say that last track sounded cannily like Can and then... 🥫🥫🥫!

this chord progression is wow <3

Chris, the band I played before them (Minami Deutsch) has collab'd with Damo Suzuki. Crazy!

Jon, I will bring the Manya Kahn record to the Barge tomorrow.

Manyana.

I was driving on Lincoln Drive and I-76 in Philly at that time and so was also not able to do Body Rhythms 22-23, Jon. (Please respect my privacy at thus time.)

Also thanks for the note re Minami Deutsch, DJ Mike

Also, was not able to say this when you played them, but of course Bevis Frond was very popular at WPRB in 1990...

I love Bevis Frond. Met that dude once -- he is a genuine Hobbit.

Really diggin this set!!

now play beefheart brickbats buddy

Delighted to hear it, Mike!

And then Bricks. And then the Bats.

All about dat base.

Wish I could erase my brain of memories from that.

SHOUT OLD STORY

Don't sweat it. Us oldsters forget you told'em.

MECCA NORMAL 🤎

bauhousin'

BAUHAUS 🖤

every mic break: SHOUTING ✅

Too much

sorry I'm late, had too much to dream last night

wind-powered plums

Solar Grapes

Good night all, I've got to dream tonight

later Rob!

See ya Rob!

had a dream recently where i was explaining a dream to someone...still messed up after that

So THAT'S how the portal to the next dimension opened....

Sha la la whaaaaaaaaa?

TOO TOUGH TO DIE TWOFER WEDNESDAY

yup. totally gonna blame random dream portal openings when the way things are become unexplainable.

this is a great ramones choice.

The Jabrones, Too Weak to Live

Not gonna be in chat by the end, so thanks for the show Mike! Fun time as always

Colin, Jon played a different song from that era of Ramones earlier. It tipped me off.

Thanks TAndy! See ya next time!

See ya, TOots!

later TAndy!

re: ramones, love how they were not shy about putting those hand claps up front in the mix.

this is what sub pop gives us in 2023? nice!

THat King Tuff record has a major Marc Bolan / T Rex jones going on.

i marked it for a further investigation

this track subdues the need to shout.

Shouting now would just be plain RUDE.

Shout was an American rock band formed in 1987 by Ken Tamplin. Musically, the band was similar to Journey and Styx, with the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music describing them as "more competent than Stryper"

Wow, the golden dregs sound ditto like DC Berman..

That is also how I hope to be described.

WOULD LIKE TO SEE the full list of bands described in the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music as "more competant than Stryper."

Gautham, yeah, I was getting some Nick Cave and Morphine vibes from them too.

I was thinking had Bowie reached an older age he might sound like that

currently, the #morecompetentthanstryper delivers no results.

DJ MIKELUPICA! GREAT SHOW! MANY THANKS! LOUD CHEERS! KIND REGARDS!

Is that Rhys Chattam in background?

Suss was sweet. Mike check out Nashville Ambient Ensemble if you haven't, similar

Haven't been able to partake much in the chat lately, but always enjoy listening to WPRB. No heavy hard rock, no sleepy elevator music, just stuff you enjoy. Greta many thanks for doing a good job of enriching my evening's labors Mike. And also for the effort (although unsuccessful) of driving the earworm away that WIlbo gave me yesterday (but PRB earworms are of a much higher quality and often welcome). Reigneyeyeshun!

MISS COSMO4

Amen Doctor Cosmo👑

Good ear, DSM.

#TeamGeorge

Thanks Jon, love this album

Enjoyed what I heard Mike. See each of you in my inevitable dreams about dreams.
