The Freeform Pathogen Wed Mar 22 with Mike Lupica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

BOOP

Damn, you're early.

It’s all happening

I don't even have any records picked out yet!

Why you open the chat so early?!

Muscle memory.

Stop chatting and get records!!

I SHALL OBEY

W H E N ? !

OK. I found a few Stabbing Westward MP3s and a Collective Soul cassingle. We're set.

Pitter Patter, let’s git at ‘er!!

🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣

👹

THE LOUD MAN PLAY THE NICE RECORDS NOW.

😂

In the chat, already with the SHOUTING

Loud man needs to switch back to Sanka.

Windsdee innit

So it goes. Welcome to you all!

I'm here too, just stuffing my face

I did that about an hour ago. Tofu tacos with broccoli slaw, pineapple chunks, and chili crisp. It didn't suck.

that sounds like a legit, well planned out dinner. I made a scrappy 'olive pasta' with the most basic side salad

Olives always bring the party.

IN MA MOUF

ha!

I never met an olive bar I didn't do something terrible adjacent to.

In Toronto I went to a middle eastern grocery with the largest olive bar I've ever seen.

I'm a plebian millennial and I still don't know why olive bars

There was also a conveyor belt in the center of the store delivering endless freshly made pita.

Wait, why did I come home?!

Was about to ask the same, Jon.

Hi Mike!! Meg Baird and Acid Dad!! @ Great tracks to start off the night in the Starlight Lounge, since it's a starry night here in Doylestown...

HI EVERYBODY! :D - Rowan

Hi, DJ•Daughter!

Howdy Rowan!

A starry night in Doylestown sounds about right!

(The Child has left the game grid. "Something, something, homework, cookies, Netflix."

Hi Mike, Rowan and pit crew!

Tony Joe White - the first of two artists I've got on deck tonight which Wilbo already played within recent memory.

(I steal all my best shit from Wilbo)

Can't not crack a beer when the Endless Boogie comes on

I endorse this sentiment 100%.

(Holds can aloft, looks out upon all members of the Wednesday Night Pitcrew, steps up to mic and declares: "MAY ALL YOUR BOOGIES BE ENDLESS"

Rawk!

I k ow I heard some tony joe white good s!

🍻!!

Really wish the time periods in my life in which I had really long hair and was into Endless Boogie intersected.

Welcome, Space Cowboy!

Loved the Mark Tiger Edmonds 'Blue Moon' Wilbo played on his last show!

Mike I've experienced that intersection and it elevates everything lol

@ Mike: it's a plan: Retire. Grow long Hair. Listen to Endless Boogie!

Long hair and Endless Boogie fandom seems like an invitation to set your own hair on fire with the cherry of a cigarette

Would be a great TikTok tho!

Whoa a heroes and villains sample

That was indeed rad to hear Beach Boys get sampled

Love the Anticon label

Hardcore king face fan

The first 15 minutes of the last episode of Chuck D's hip hop documentary series is exactly about tracks just like Arrest The President.

I came downstairs with the idea that I'd just be having spinach for dinner but somehow I'm making kimchi jigae now

When I was in grade school I briefly dated a girl who had a band called Minor Threat! I repeatedly tried to tell her...

There is the band teen idles as well

hello mike and pit crew

I just saw a band with a totally taken name in a FB ad recently but i can't remember what it was

The Chisel is confusing

FirestarterLupica, don’t leave space heater ON and UNATTENDED! DaFuh?! 🔥🧯

Sparkling sounds

this troll right now

Fuck it, let's party.

Apparently, a compliment = trolling? LMAOOOOOOO

oh man this a good time

OSMONDS??!!

Mormons gone wild.

not that there's anything wrong with them

Hahaha. Best dancing ever in this video.

I don't know the video. I missed the song when it came out because I was living in Europe. So this is only like the 2nd or 3rd time I've ever heard it, and I think all the times have been on WPRB

There's more heavy Osmonds, one more song on this album and then a few on their Mormon concept album THE PLAN

Commie, Jon... I think our work on this planet is done.

Troll knows who the Troll is LMBBBBAOOOOOO

Wait, what did I miss?

Commie, I believe that I first heard Crazy Horses on your show

I once played it twice in a row by request from Pat clamour club

Maybe on Sunday I'll play another heavy Osmonds song and the punk village people song

"Crazy Horses" sounds like they're singing "Crazy Awesome!" at times.

[watching 'Crazy Horse' video] Wait a second -- the one I assumed was Donnie is named MERRILL? I'm so confused. But yes, I dig it!

Donnie's the one with the best metal voice! (He gets the chorus)

*'Crazy Horses' plural

And Andrew i agree naming a band the chisel is a weird choice

Wait what is Neil Young doing in this Osmonds video??

Okay, okay, I misspoke! But maybe Neil Young should collaborate w/ The Osmonds -- I'd buy/watch it

This Phantom Phone Hacker is hysterical!

Bahahahaha Michael Jackson and GG Aliin this is hilarious

What even is this

Searching OPEC-SID and who should I find quoted in an article about it but...

https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/opec-sid-nyc-punk

It's a relic of a simpler time. When answering machines could be easily hacked.

haha

hahaha...i downloaded this once

Commie, do it! I don't know if I'll be able to catch your show though :-(

GG Allin at the palladium... I remember when he would come in and take over the place for a week at a time

76% uncertain, CT represent

Oh jeez, I forgot about that Mel Magazine article! A proud moment to be associated with.

Just the threat of a GG allin show in town is hilarious

GG Allin and Michael Jackson -- both problematic in 2023.

This guy sounds like Jerry Jones the kead singer of trophy scars from new jersey

I was hoping you'd segue into Mickey gilley

Don't know them, Tyler, but I tend to only like the F'd Up songs where he sings more melodically (like this one.)

This is a tuneful one for ol' GG

That practically sounded like F'd Up covering Cheap Trick.

WOULD BUY THAT RECORD

Hey Mr M - EAT TIGHTY WHITIES DRENCHED IN NACHO CHEESE AND SLUDGE!!!! 😊⭐🌠

i love how his singing style has never changed despite the fact they've released like a dozen non-hardcore albums

That deserves to be banned from chat

the dude from f'd up, that is

I thought they were "tidy" Whities. Is it really tighty? How could I have been wrong for so long

🤢

I always thought it was tighty, cuz they constricting

🤢

Yes, it makes sense to me now My world is turned upside down

lol TAndy

Welcome to the other side, Sean.

I know Tighten from Megamind and SPONGEBOB wears that smelly thing, DSM and Sean.

wear that*

This is more jarring then when I was told in the third grade that when I was singing God bless America the words were not stand beside her and guide her through the night with the light from a bulb

🫡🤣🤣

Hahahah, that's fantastic!

I love that Sean!

I'm still at odds about the tidy whities. I have worn them all my life and they are both tidy and tighty. So I don't know where to go The world has become an uncertain place

How has there been a Bob B. Soxx but not a Ty T. Wightee?

it was only a few short years ago I learned that it's NOT called a mazel tov cocktail. and i'm not young.

I love that this has turned into a confessional.

Same Colin hahaha

Would make a great tour Jon

Family lore also says that when I was young and studying for my first communion as a good Catholic boy, I said the hail Mary blessed art thou and blessed is the fruit in thy room, and at the end of the prayer I would ask her to pray for us singers

Until recently I thought Greece was an island.

I have added color to my clothing that few will ever see. Whitey is so not in the underwear draw these days.

oh the wednesday night confessional!

Until JUST NOW, I thought Greece was an island!

@Jon -- or Ty T. Y. T.

lol, jon looking at the kid's geography text book going, wait what?

Rofflestomp, many people find gayly colored underwear exciting and attractive! There are hundreds of videos online that lend Credence to this point

So true. Guilty pleasures.

@Sean -- I always thought the Pledge of Allegiance ended with a dedication: "with Libby & Justin Kroll" (my kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Kroll so I thought that must be her name when she wasn't Missus)

My grandson prefers dinosaurs on his underwear, and I'm beginning to consider them as a way to spice up my underwear drawer

teresa, total 80's punk/metal acronym bands name. Thank you, Torch Your Treachery?

Oh man you mean all the time I've been saying Justin crawl I've been wrong

Now you got me shopping sean. lol

Sean - The intermediate days, where some are at the subject of whities wedgies/pantsed

@Colin -- YESSSS! Make it so!

@Sean -- I could have heard it wrong, I suppose... It could have been a directive: 'Justin! Crawl!'

I <3 Peter Zaremba! The Fleshtones were one of the first bands I ever saw live

Teresa, when I was a teenager I asked the old Italian guy at the barber shop to cut my hair like Peter Zaremba's. (Produces picture of Peter Zaremba from pocket.)

This did not go well.

mike, looking at pics of Peter Zaremba seems like it should have gone well. guy's cut was pretty classic

also, imagines how it could have gone wrong and lol

Kraftwerke! Bought a vinyl when this first came out, home PC's cost a few thousand!

Computer World is probably the album that most stood out for me on WPRB as a newish listener in 1981

Pocket Calculator is my ringtone.

oh! meat manifesto either used a sample of the arp synth part, or the same synth

Loving the techno music played all this week

I love this part of this song. Get it in my head all the time.

This should be the new OH SHIT music

I agree, jimboo

Haha, people would probably start requesting that our internet cuts out.

Yeah Colin...has that Storm The Studio soundz

Sorry, that was supposed to be my GRAND ENTRANCE🕺🏻

*pulls Computer World for tomorrow listening*

Kraftwerk reminds me, the Umlaut set on Jon's show was pretty fun! Wasn't able to hop in the chat at the time to say so

"Kælan Mikla is a three-piece punk/no-wave band from Reykjavík, formed after winning first place in a poetry slam held by the city library in January 2013."

Wow.

I love this! That sludgy bass sound is so great!

I think we just found Icelandic FLIPPER

Damn! so good!

I love Iceland "formed after winning ... a poetry slam"

I first heard them in a record store a few months ago. Had to ask the clerk WTF it was because it was all really amazing. She'd just seen them live in Philly recently and said they were amazing.

Bookmarked

jimboo, I was about to make a Flipper comparison but then I thought nah

Can you play that again?

By the way, for those who observe/celebrate, it is almost DEAD MOON NIGHT.

O'CLOCK

Trust your guts, Rob!

Same re Flipper! ✖️🐬✖️

There's a ton of Kælan Mikla on Bandcamp!

Hell yes on DEAD MOON NIGHT!

O'CLOCK

Mike, could you play Kaelan Mikla again by any chance?

Next week!

😇

Kealan Mikla... At the end of a stressful day I always find it relaxing to have someone else do the screaming...

I did in fact throw down for the Dead Moon box set (which came in yesterday's mails) and it is ... beautiful. Comin' up!

Thanks!

Alan, yes

Hi Rob!

Rawk, Mike! Mississippi Records:)

Dead Moon box??? Says he who is burning his entire collection of LPs and CDs to then sell.

Vinyl version of the Sub Pop set from the naughty aughties. https://www.strandedrecords.com/products/dead-moon-echoes-of-the-past-the-anthology-4xlp?_pos=1&_sid=65c863910&_ss=r

Saweet! Thanks!

with with turntable slipmat and other goodies!

That's a great collection, sub pop sent us the CD ad a promo when we had a record store even though it was out of print??? That stayed in permanent store play rotation

love it

☭

Commie: Awesome! Richard: There is SO MUCH SWAG in this thing. It's nuts. I feel like I just won big on a game show.

Ok, looks same as the dubbel cee dee.

Yep, same tracks.

ENO!!

Hi Alan!

Brian Eno = Anagram for One Brain

I remember once listener Matt was tuning in / checking in from a graveyard at 10:00pm during an ep of the notebook.

Dog bless Fred and Toody!!

I was showing Bill the Osmonds dance and the first comment on YouTube is "this is what happens when Mormons finally try caffeine*

Hahaha!

💀🌒

When I recorded Fred and Toody’s other band for Factorial’s show a person came into the board room and said something slightly disparaging about the performance that ruined all the magic. Was so unnecessary!

Maybe it was more dismissive than anything? Perfect opportunity to keep one’s trap shut.

These Dead Moon tracks are great!

TOMORROW YOU WILL TELL ME WHO THIS "PERSON" WAS SO THAT I MAY THINK LESS OF THEM FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

That person is CURSED.

Jon, I think that is the charm of DM!

Mike, you will say “of course” when I tell you and then we will click two cans of seltzer together and laugh.

In 1994 I drove to the Grand Canyon over Xmas break. At the youth hostel in Flagstaff I met Jane from Australia who needed a ride to San Francisco so she could ride to Portland with friends to see this strange band Dead Moon. We visited Death Valley along the way. It was years before I heard Dead Moon but they always have a vivid place in my memory.

Wow! Awesome, Pete!

When I saw Dead Moon in Philly they were the OPENER for some shitty doofus band.

didn't know about this box set. wow

so i just ordered it

nice, Pete Trenham!

Thanks for keeping it going, Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good lord this is savvvvvage.

Hell yes, Andrew!

I need to look up who we booked Dead Moon with. Some hilariously odd sonic pairing.

I never saw Dead Moon. Met them once and they were like the sweetest people on the planet, but will hate myself forever for never witnessing them on stage.

Modest Mouse and Joan of Arc.

May 1998.

Sure, why not.

I have a KBOO recording of Toody on KBOO Portland I will get together from last year. Unfortunately there are a lot of glitches, but worth it.

ALRIGHT!!!!!

Saw Dead Moon open for Royal Trux at a crazy fest with an equally killer line up down in Anehiem (sp)

I wish I could say I'd have appreciated Dead Moon in 1994, but a Pavement obsession consumed a lot of bandwidth.

first poster on the barge!

Contact Toody and Mississipi records! They have more...

YES! Colin.

There is more coming out!!!!!!!!!!!

Mississippi also got ur Abner Jay LPs on the cheap!

PLEASE

THANK YOU

Yes DSM!

Cool crescent moons are all you need sometimes.

🖤🤍🖤

I had to pull over to say that, pretty important

💕

Also, thank you, bomb list

Pulling over to comment on a playlist is among the most noble of listener moves. We call it: "The Pethie Maneuver" (so named for DJ Pethie, who does that all the time.)

For the 2nd week in a row, I am playing Unwound just a few hours after the previous DJ played them. The WPRB TARDIS is fully operational, but it only goes to 1995.

i hope they keep touring!

Thank you God that we have the playlist! I remember pulling over to call the station, having to comment/ask about a track being played, wary of a long set being back announced..

absolutely, alan!

I got into dead moon shamefully late and never saw them either. A good friend of mine was in pierced arrows and played with dead moon live when Andrew wasn't able to and both bands played my town several times and i DIDN'T GO. I had this vague idea they were garage rock and i was like whatever

A few years later i finally listened to them and was like oh noooo

lolol

I did go to toody's junk shop in January 2020, she was extremely nice and made a station id for wprb!

Kelly from Pierced Arrows play something besides drums in Jenny Don't & the Spurs...

i rode the late bus to the dead moon too. and when i finally checked them out i was oh! probably heard them here dozens of times too.

Believe it. Like I said, I met them for 10 minutes and they were just the sweetest, kindest, and most humble people ever. RIP Fred and Andrew. Toody is a rock and roll soldier.

He was also in punk/crust bands in the 90s/00s which is how I know him

I think he plays bass in the spurs?

Nice, Commie!

every town needs a Toody's Junk Shoppe

Co-sign

Good hang tonight, pitcrew. Thanks for being here!

🔥💕🔥

I got some earnest wooden toys from the 70s for my niece. Toody was hyped on them in a way that reminded me of my mom

this has been one for the record books. the heard part is gonna be which shop do i buy the dead moons collection from..🤔

Mike: Roxy is a good wrap up for a Great Show...Thanks for the Show! Take care bcnu

Don't miss out on mississippi records

we INSIST upon crackles of LOVE

Thanks Mike!! Later everyone!!

Lovely setbreak music, Mike 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣
