My Black Flag tattoo is forevah, Dan W!

@dan too true

I have an existing monthly donation I'd like to begin making in Krugerrands. Where on the pledge site can I do that?

Happy birthday Jon, Hi Gary from Phoenix. I thought I was the only listener from Phoenix.

@dennis one time a kid in my after school program told another kid "E Chuta" and technically I couldn't get him in trouble

Krugerrands !! Now we're talkin

Happy Birthday Jon!

@ Matt S..how much money would Pettibone have made if he had trademarked the Black Flag bars?

Oh lord good point 💰💰💰 Carlos R

I can also do negotiable bearer bonds. Don't bother Googling. They're a real thing. Not just a Die Hard McGuffin. You can trust me.

Misfits logo is on t shirts at target

Finally 🧊🐻

Eis bar!!!!!

iamthelabhras let's talk quantum crypto, babe

Ice bear!!!

@dan it feels like it sounds better out of an alien snout, though.

Im kalten polar

Say it with me now "Ice Bear" kinda just like English ha. Who is this mysterious eeese bar anyway...

This sounds like a deth elf song

Quiero ser oso polar

Eis bar! Eaten by Eis bar as per a walk on the eis.

I can't wait to read this chat after the show in full. I love this community and the fact that it can exist without my monitoring it!

pledge.wprb.com

Love that Spanish version by Las Melenas

10 down, 40 to go!

Brian, me too!!! That's the first time I ever heard the song. Melanas are a great great band

Truly an oso amistoso

@dan w Elfbear is totally different.

🐻‍❄️🤍

Postpunk is great stuff

Oh my gravy I tuned in just in time

Matt! Yes! We should have the option to make monthly donations in JONCOIN.

OH MY GRAVY

JONCOIN

EI$BUCKS.

Hola Lizbot. Guess what bird species I heard this morning for the first time this year?

JONCOIN: Takin' it to the curb.

@ tenderloin..if I see a misfits shirt being purchased at Target I will ask what their fave song/ lineup is..Probably get the same look as when I tell my dog t9 get off the couch

aka "Solly dollars"

Lol Carlos

Hey you dog get off my couch!

All out greatest hits playlist!

Jaimie is one of the many artists I would never have heard of without wprb

(dog runs in tight frenzied circles)

H5OthBDJS!

Hi Rob from MartDonationland! What 🐦?!

C Ramone - yep, exactly. I saw a picture of Cee Lo in a sequined misfits logo shirt and did kinda wonder - does he know who this is?

For awhile people wore Iron Maiden shirts fashionably whom I suspect never heard the mighty band

WPRB Radio Cat is a fine thing. With its wandering eyes...

The mollusk lingers

@Rob from MaryDonationLand - I’m guessing the obscure White Plumed Robin Bird?

I’m playing the drums on my cat’s belly. Don’t think she’s into it.

The mollusk Ghoel 👅

Dana K play a Neil Peart drum solo

Jon Solomon you're 50! That's half a century! I was 50 on Nov 4 2016 - know what I got? friggin' trump being elected. Your 50th seems much better...

THE BREEDERS ❤️❤️❤️

@DJ Tenderloin This one? https://i.imgur.com/pGMYnkn.jpg

well, before the shirt company turned it inot an ad

@Jon..in 10 years if you get asked your age you can say 3 score and see if they know what you mean

into*

Lol Carlos

@Dana K - My late cat would “drop the heavy paw” if I drummed on his tum

OK, which Ethiopiques volume CD will Jon play? I’m betting 25.

I like drumming on cat's heads, and they (seem to) like it

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHNATHAN SOLOMON!!!!!!!! 50 YEARS, LIKE 50 YEARS OF HIP-HOP 🍛🍲🥞🥙🥨🥗🥓🦐🎂🎂🎁🎉🕯🍰🎵💿

@Lizbot, it's a fairly uniformly gray, long-tailed bird that thinks it owns certain people's yards.

Lol Ozzy

@Lizbot she’s in the sun and is too lazy to care that I’m pestering her

@J Totally - oh my goodness! No actually I saw a picture of him at an awards show but maybe that pic was stolen from that? crazy

@Lizbot aka Gray Catbird aka Lizbot's Nemesisbird

50 for 50 > 80 for Brady

@Rob - ooooh no! I haven’t seen mine YET, but I’m sure it’s lurking just around the corner 🐦

The first band that comes to mind is Screamerclauz

@Dana K - a content cat is a disarmed cat. Mine couldn’t resist “setting the trap,” ie: exposing his white plush belly, until some fool reached out to pet the forbidden tum

Snaildartha6

Jingle Rock Bell

@Liz Bot, I'm sorry to report that to you. My birding friend near Cherry Hill hasn't encountered any yet either. So I suspect in the next two or three days, both of you will encounter some.

Many folks have lost limbs and lives to the cat belly trap

Jon Solomon is the reason I know Mini Skirt's "Brigantine St" exists. Jon Solomon is also the reason why I consistently get kicked out of bars for hacking into the wifi & continuously playing Mini Skirt's "Brigantine St."

Iced Shank

This is so great. Thank you!

WPRB is the first place I heard Modern Lovers, Unrest, Superchunk, Mountain Goats…

Iced Shank! Yes

@Dennisons, Eis Schaft?

Love the Peter Prescott yelp

Unrest! ✊

@Rob from MaryDonationland - I would also submit that said catbird sounds more like a broken and mangled squeaky toy than like a meowing cat. False advertising.

i heard built to spill on wprb in 1995 and decided i had to go see them at lollapalooza (sidestage)

@Liz Bot, I'll order a drone to take out your squeaky toy bird

@Rob from MaryDon… I would love Iced Shank to tackle Eisbar!!!

I first heard Sleep's Dopesmoker 900% on WPRB and am not the same

Oh this is a fun track

@Matt, Unrest, the band from the DC area?

I got into Brian Eno after hearing a cover of Needles in the Camel’s Eye on WPRB, nearly 20 years ago

@Dana K, a cover? Do you remember by who?

LOOOOL Donating Sabbath

Rob MD are they from DC? The band that made "sugarshack"

R.I.P. Gift of Gab!

Was actually thinking of playing some Blackalicious tomorrow!

@Rob, I can’t remember who did the cover. I think I was able to find it before we revamped the website and playlist software, and then promptly forgot. I believe it was a local band.

I also have a great memory of playing Cath Carroll by Unrest on my show right after buying the single at PREX a few hours earlier.

@Matt, heck yeah! Sugar Shack, Cath Carroll, ...

Oh yeah and I first heard The Reds, Pinks, & Purples on WPRB. And The Most Serene Republic. And Homeboy Sandman. And Lankum. Wait are we not doing this anymore?

Happy Birthday Jon!!!

Great song from a great band!!!

Imperial ffrr Unrest

I listened to WPRB when I was antiquing iron toys, writing down bands I liked back in the early 90s, recording songs on a boombox. I went to see Unrest after hearing them here and fell in love with them and Stereolab at JC Dobbs.

@Dana K, understood about the Eno cover. And, Unrest is a great band. I wish I'd seen them, or seen them more, when they were together

Love the Reds Pinks and Purples and just about everything I’ve heard that Glenn Donaldson’s done

Nice Dennnisons! Analog goodness

I just got SWIRLIES tickets for this summer in NYC. A band I got into after becoming a DJ at WPRB!

You may very well have the one who introduced the RsPs&Ps to me, Dana K!

I’m honored!

Oh chit Dana K, SWIRLIES

When I first met Jon a few years ago at a Superchunk show, I was shocked that he was younger than me. I’d been hearing him as long as I’ve been listening to WPRB and just assumed he’d been here forever.

Swirlies have a rad poster of a guy w/ a homemade flamethrower if memory serves...

i first her 75 Dollar Bill on WPRB and as far as I know the song is still playing

Swirlies!

@Dennis - I remember Stereolab at JC Dobbs!

@Patrick I played a 75 Dollar Bill song once because I had to run back to my car because I forgot my asthma inhaler. (I’m cool)

lol Dana K

I first got into The Minutemen when I heard a young Mike Lupica play What Makes a Man Start Fires on PRB in the 90s

@lizbot high five! Or however many digits you have on your robot hand!

I remember Stereolab at the 930 Club in DC waaay back about 29 or so years ago. One of the best shows I saw there

Lol Dana K, I had an inhaler hit after...Dopesmoker900%

@Dana K I very vividly remember hearing Cath Carroll on WPRB, and being bowled over by it, writing away to Teen Beat and sending actual dollar bills through the mail for the green vinyl single.

Mary Jones rad 💵

@Mary that’s so cool! It is an absolutely stunning song

@Mary Jones, I remember those days. Usually I wrote checks but once or twice I sent actual cash

@ Lizbot - love the minutemen! saw them a coupla times at 9:30 in DC. The best! their set list was like 8 ft. tall and they would pin it up on the wall. like 80 songs or something stupid. love. love. love.

I was so young I didn’t have a bank account—I was probably 15?

Double nickels on the dime

Wed Eves and Christmas Eves/days all the more better w/you Jon!

Ok, I think I found the real first new band I never heard that I heard first on wprb...

Was there an answer for that "zoo" lyric homespun weird blues/folk mystery song last month or so?

It was a band called Jawbox

@M jones and Matt Sabbath - one of the few benefits of old age - seeing lots of great old punk bands

And they were playing at city gardens and WPRB was giving away tickets

@Dennnisons - I have two clamp-like appendages, so high two!

yo happy birthday pal!

I knew J Robbins from Jawbox when he was a teen listening to classical music and soundtracks on his walkman.

@DJ Tenderloin, I may have been at one of your Minutemen shows at 9:30

Superchunk!

again. old. we grew up right near each other

16/50. Keep it going!!

@DJ Tenderloin yeah, I missed out on a *lot*; and I lived really far from the city in Gilbertsville PA—but somehow was able to get WPRB!

DJ Tenderloin totally 👴✊someday I wanna compile my live punk show list

Rob from MD - no shit! totally possible. think i saw them twice.

@Mary Jones, indeed. One of the times I sent cash, the recipient specified cash only because they had no bank account iirc

thank goodness for wprb - bringing the punk rock to the hinterlands!

I remember when metal guitars (made of metal) were popular in noisey rock in the 90s 👴

@DJ Tenderloin - The Anchor is one of my all-time favorite songs. I talked to Watt a few times over the years and he said that song was the band’s first attempt at a 2 minute pop song

Hinterpunk

Hi Mary! Growing up isolated in a small town can make one appreciate PRB even more!

Lizbot -I just listened to project mersh for like the first time since in forever the other day!

@Liz Bot you said it! The station was and is a lifeline

I asked Hurley after a show "how do you remember all those songs - it's crazy" and he smiled and said " we fake it mostly" . not likely - they were tight tight tight

Good evening Lilly and Happy 50th Jon! (Recurring doner) ...I don't remember the first song I heard on Jon's show, it was quite some years ago but I bet it was good.

@DJ Tenderloin, were you able to pick up WMUC when you were growing up or living in the DC area?

I hope Jon gets at least a decent wolves head walking cane for his years of service. Dear old Jon. Step easy buddy when you're not running.

@Liz Bot also, hi!

Fear of a Black Planet is one of the greatest records of all time in my humble opinion

Wolf head cane!!

@ Mary..how often did you go to Zerns?

@ Rob from MD - MUC - yep, and the old HFS out of Bethesda - with a antennae from Radio Shack I got and put on the roof! My mom was like what the hell?

Gotta be a band name Wolf Head Cane. All umlauts all the time on all the letters. Even the spaces between

@Carlos every weekend—especially the comic book store and record store across from the candy store.

Windsday innit

Happy birthday, Jon!!

Lol Brian D 🐺

@Rob from MD - my buddy Jim Saah had a show on MUC for like a few months. We were heavily into HarDCore then.

@DJ Tenderloin, ah, WHFS from Bethesda, with Milo, Jim Dunbar, and Johnny Walker. Antennas were indeed necessary for picking up HFS and MUC at home

hello all and hbd Jon!

20 pledges deep!

Also, pizza is here.

Where'd you order from?

Hi Mary - Local independent record stores were also lifelines! Mine was Final Vinyl and the owner was a former AC craps dealer with lots of stories

@Rob from MD - which is ridiculous because I lived in Wheaton! I think that station put out like 10 watts. My toaster had more wattage than that station.

@ Mary..I live in the north Penn area and it was 2 or 3 times a year when I was growing up . A bit more often than that when my kids were growing up..I always told the kids to smile because we would be the only ones with a full set of teeth

Pizza landed here as well! Funny that!

Can the pledge # get to 25 by the halfway mark 15 minutes from now?

Ah, mom & pop record stores. Now Walmart carries vinyl lol

OLD MAN ON THE BRIDGE

😂 old man 🌉

Howdy! Popping in to say hi, enjoy the tunes, and wish you happy birthday again

My request!

Oh mygod, Dennis will walk around singing this

I was really surprised to find an Idris Muhammad record at Barnes and Noble last month, you know I HAD to get it.

As a kid I worked at Waxie Maxie's, Variety Records, and Kemp Mill Record & Tape - all gone now

@DJ Tenderloin, I think by the time I tuned in to MUC, his show was over? Did you have a show on that station?

Commie Francis played this on her pledge drive show last year that I co-hosted and we made her dog Walter dance to it

Now that you have yr pizza, Jon, I hope you’re serenading it with yr own rendition of Old Man on the Bridge

Key Records in Bucks and montco. I think they had 5 locations at one time

This is a classic upon classic of my WPRB listening experience. Never would have heard Kink Kong Old Man on a Bridge if not for WPRB

There was a great record shoppe in Ridgewood NJ underground like it was Clockwork Orange or something

Cheesy pizza

I am loving this song! Rob - no show for me - I went to UMBC in Baltimore. Had a show at WROC - Rockville Comm College for like a year?

I can remember talking w/friends circa mid 1990s "hey did you ever hear that great song on WPRB that goes hey bah hoo bah hee bah hey bah..."? YEAH LOVE THAT!! etc etc

@DJ Tenderloin, I remember being able to pick up MUC in Wheaton in my car. But then one of the other stations on the same frequency went from 10 to 50 or 100 watts and that was the end of that. But I could still get it in northwest DC and the edge of Bethesda in my car

I remember seeing a record store on S. Clinton a couple blocks up from where Food Bazaar is now, had a lot from Dominican artists in there. Pretty sure it's a Boost Mobile or restaurant now.

I love Molly's Books & Records in the Italian Market in Philly - always priced well!

Brian D Bababooey.

Y’all should check out Beautiful World Syndicate on Passyunk in Philly. You might catch a glimpse of me (it’s where I work)

@DJ Tenderloin - I worked for Molly’s ex, Bob Dickey of The Strapping Fieldhands, 20 years ago. The back room of Bob’s store 9th St Books & Records still has a buncha Molly’s books in it

I loved 3rd Street Jazz and Rock back in the day. I didn’t have a car so I took the train there

@Dana K - haha, it all comes full circle - After Bob Dickey folded 9th St Books & Records and sold the inventory to George & I, we sold the inventory to Beautiful World Syndicate!

I do like Beautiful World Syndicate - too rich for my blood sadly. Records are getting outrageous! I know I sound old. I also like Long In The Tooth

HI ALL and happy birthday, Jon!

Hey Alana, and one & all!

My son's first concert was Flipper at Amoeba Records

@Matt Sabbath, WOW!

Flipper! I saw Flipper. So loud. The drummer wore a football helmet if I remember correctly

@ Matt..has he recovered from that?

@Dennnisonsn- I loved 3rd St. also used to spend quite a bit of money in my 20s at Space Boy Records on South St and AKA Music, and spent all spare cash at Plastic Fantastic in Ardmore when I went to school out there in the mid-90s

When making a decision for tonight's dinner I thought in honor of Jon: Pizza. And a salad too! And it was connnnnnsuuuuumed!

and at Amoeba! pretty cool

Hi Alana

Krist Novoselic on bass too! Rob MD

@Matt Sabbath, double WOW

Carnitas tacos or carnitas rice bowl tonight! Shredded carrots & purple cabbage and other goodies atop.

Carlos it fucked him up early LOL. That dang heroin punk music

I can't believe the first concert was Flipper!

wow

First Concert - Springsteen. The River tour. kind of a high bar...

I also took him to Dayglo Abortions Lolololol

@LizBot I have a silver sticker from AKA records on a guitar

His mom was tolerant of my punk father antics

Hello Alana!

What was the obscene song that was requested?

Turn on the Summer indeed

DJ Tender nice!! The River!!

The riverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - Geddy Lee

@Matt, Dayglo Abortions is a fine band to take your son to!

First punk show - Discharge, Gov't Issue, maybe Double-O? long time ago.

@Matt..huge Flipper fan. First time I saw them live I was thinking WTF a was that..for about 2 weeks

NICE DJ Tenderloin

@Carlos Flipper is so dark but so good

Flipper - agreed. pumeling brutal show - so loud

Jon Solomon isn't just DJ. He's a HUMAN CREDIT UNION.

PLODGE

My 1st concert was Robert Fripp doing Frippertronics at Alexander Hall at PU. I was in high school. Met Bill Rosenblatt, Hal Stern, and other PRB DJs of that era.

Loudest show? that's a good question. Feel free to join in on that.

Nice Chris Mohr! Frippertronica

My 1st punk show was Flipper 🐬 at City Gardens, Dec. 1984. Scornflakes opened!

SCORNFLAKES omg

I'm going to say loudest show - The Swans from NYC - we huddled in the basement of 9:30 thinking - make it stop

@ Chris..I thought I saw you there

Also happy b-day Jon! Been driving so couldn't chat before

City Gardens! never saw a show there - wished I did -

Loudest show: Simon & Garfunkel Central Park 1981

Loudest show I went to was seeing a Trance DJ at a now defunct venue in NYC, the place was so small and the speakers redlined that I could hear nothing but bass crunching the speakers and distortion lmao

Kidding, but I was there

Loudest show for me had to be The Butthole Surfers at The Mann

Halfway to our goal! pledge.wprb.com

First concert for me was Infected Mushroom at E Factory in 2012 or 2013

TAndy I had a loud dj experience too, my heart was worried LOL #MOOM

Loudest show Flippertronica

NICE James T

Keep it going everyone. Pitchblende loudest band I saw.

Butthole Surfers are loud for sure

Simon smashing his guitar onstage! Priceless.

Hmmm...loudest show maybe Stereolab at Troc or GBV at TLA.

Fu Manchu in Atlanta, GA, on Clone of the Universe tour. Loud AF

loudest was das damen at CBGB

Lol Roff

Also - close second - first time seeing Black Flag. Also just bone crunching loudness. Pre- My War.

Loudest bass = Flipper

Loudest band = Ramones!

DJ Tenderloin LUCKY!!!! Black Flag ✊

Several times.

Loudest for me was F*** Buttons and Mogwai, my friend and I shoved paper towels in our ears to save our hearing.

Yep - lucky. Old!

Swans the second time I saw em was the loudest I've seen, I couldn't even stay to the end, ears rang for a long time after, def damage

Drmcrshr live at WPRB, November 2020. loudest room in the world

DJ Tenderloin clear guitar played by Greg Ginn probably, Kira on bass?

my first show ever was the monsters of rock at giants stadium in 1988. only went for Metallica though.

Dinosaur Jr. @ Maxwell's was real loud, too

MONSTERS OF ROCK. YESSSSSSS

oooo love this !! Wonder if Stayin (Almost) Alive cover is up on deck....

godheadSilo was so loud people pooped themselves #true

Loudest band ever was mine before I understood earplugs. Many regretst there.

Loudest band ever was mine before I understood earplugs. Many regrets there.

this is amazing

M Sabbath - gosh I can't remember - definitely saw them with Kira - My War era, but not sure about the first time. their roadies had a joke band called Nig Heist - and they played buck fucking naked

and godheadSilo just 2 dudes from Fargo

Possibly the loudest show I was at was Killdozer headlining over Government Issue and MFD (Music for the Deaf) appropriately enough.

@DJ Tenderloin, Swans & 9:30 basement, wow, that is L O U D

Holy chit DJ Tenderloin I read about those days! Violent AF in a good way

Loudest show for me was Melt Banana

Hank Rollins' Get in the Van diary bio has some great Black Flag stories.

Swans was SO LOUD. painful. i think that might have been the point. i def have some hearing loss due to punk rock

Oooo... that reminds me, today is National Banana day

Melt Banana are not right in the head lol

I remember I went to a show and covered my ears and everyone told me the volume was fine but I ended up hiding in the bathroom. I thought there was something wrong with me, people thought I was drunk. It was someone relatively mid-range (sound-wise) at the E Factory.

Get in the Van is a great book, deserves Library of Congress status as culturally/historically significant

@DJ Tenderloin, I can't remember what my first punk show was. Early on though I saw Minor Threat opening up for Public Image at Ritchie Coliseum in College Park

Ya tone is key. A band/dj can be very very loud and people will survive ok. But middle of road volume with screechingly bad tone/eq can really wreck the ears/head/central nervous system/whole body etc

My loudest gigs are mostly pretty predictable: Ramones, My Bloody Valentine, Metallica, Guns & Roses.

Love Get in the Van. I might have seen him at the old DC Space read some stuff from that? gosh - all so long ago!

I NEED to see MBV live

Alana my son hid in the photo booth at Dayglo Abortions/Subhumans/MDC LOLOLOL 👂

I remember Jucifer being crazy loud

I like that Henry did a nice intro/apology to Kira in the reissue edition. Classy move

Get in the van is disturbing, just to see how Henry was changing thru the years on the road

Henry apologizes when f's up. Honorable man.

It might have been Liz Phair. When did they put the benches in??

*he

There have been times where I'd go out and forget my earplugs so I would have to fashion a pair out of rolled toilet paper. I still never hear the end of it 😔

MDC like Millions of Dead Cops? saw them too. Tesco Vee - Meatmen - was going to have a band called Millions of Ted Koppels

Yup MDC 🚓. Dave Dichter is a nut

My fave Get in the Van story is when BF was touring Europe and they had the van fave cassette ZZ Top's Eliminator cranking! They told the bewildered punk fans gathering outside the van that it was the new Exploited album just to f with them.

(Jen from Running Redlights picked this one.)

Dave of MDC worked in a school LOLOLOL. He was in Principal Office more than students

This is a very Jon Solomon show song. A very WPRB memory for me. Heard it a bunch on your show!

My friend Jay famously fell asleep at a particularly loud MBV show in the early 1990s.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa Brian D

Long version of this song = best version of this song.

I think I saw MDC at the Rock Against Reagan festival in DC on the mall? 1984 maybe?

MDC = Matt Dixon and the Confederates

Lol Carlos

Matt Sabbath - Tesco too - he was a math teacher. the guy who wrote crippled children suck was a fucking math teacher.

Supposedly used the name to cross the border into Canada for a show

Lol! Dayum

whoa Meatmen mention. I saw them open for GWAR :)

Chavo of Black Flag wrote "white minority" LOLOLOL

Pizza good

And Get in the Van is where I first heard about the famous "INDEED!" stage patter tape of Venom from City Gardens in Trenton, NJ. BF was on tour w/them at the time.

Pizza smelly greatness!!

GWAR

Brian D yer wild, man

True Ozzy, so very true!

WILD

Who hasn't slept at a show? 😅

I wonder if anyone fell asleep at Sleep

@Carlos Ramone, lol re MDC & Canada

Lol TAndy

I saw MDC last year at Broken Goblet Brewing. They opened for Napalm Death. John Wayne!!!

To recur is to occur

I got sleepy at Mudhoney & Pavement but lotsa weed in air

I fell asleep at Star Wars Rogue One, LMAO in theaters after friends decided to go there late at night after class

@Alana, with or without beer?

Nice HC Mok !

Lol Ozzy

@HC Mok - you saw MDC LAST YEAR?! that's crazy. still doing it huh? amazing

heh MDC looked a little haggard

Had no idea MDC was still touring. Those guys must be my age! Ha

Beer is icky 😝 first time I'd recently had a baby, second time I was going to school at ass o'clock and then after putting the kid to bed, going to venues across Philly, NJ, and occasionally NYC to photograph and interview bands

Like Jack Black Bowser, Sabbath!

Second time I napped between bands though, I think

Uh oh. Time to cry.

Alana - Also smelly as well.

Right there with ya DK.

Alcohol

Brujeria was at that show as well. Bonkers

I'd always call up the djs on the ol 609-258 # and ask questions before the online playlist days. Jon and all of them very helpful & friendly. Jon dug out the Only Ones liner notes and read all the members' names off when I asked who played the lead guitar on Another Girl Another Planet!

Oh man, you beat me to it, Dana K.

This is indeed a classic! So great to hear this song!

Agreed, Ossy, hi from before, I saw your hi, my roommate had just come home though and I got distracted

I can nearly 100% guarantee you will not guess what artist is next.

Let 'er rip Dana K

Das Goblins?!!

I will be gone, but not forever

speaking of MDC, they're opening for GBH in philly next month

Chris Forsyth?

GBH !!

farewell transmission is a favorite, always hits me. popping in to say happy birthday!!

SONGS: OHIA 💔❤️♥️

Oddly enough, I heard 'Farewell Transmission' for the first time on "Fresh Air with Terry Gross" (I think). I was driving. Then suddenly, I was driving and sobbing. That last "Listen." kills me dead every single time.

Fishbone show this weekend. I hope to see you all there 🐟🦴

@Alana, I don't do having babies as per God and such, but I can certainly understand it being a prime contestant for wakeful acknowledgement for sure.

I’m glad we’re all on the same page regarding this song.

FISHBONE ✊

Didn't know about Fishbone show. Orig. members? I saw them on their first tour - and they absolutely floored me. A-mazing live band.

Didja take the holy Fishbone oath, DJ Tenderloin?

new EP coming out ..very soon

Administered by Angelo Moore

Cher? This is AWESOME!!!!

Did the album art just morph all about for anyone else or am I having a flashback?

The singer - the main guy - with the sax - what's his name? He called up this skinhead at the show, called him up the front. stopped the show. and the guy comes up. and he blows a snot rocket right on his head.

they are touring

Lol DSM

im still foggy from the Melvin Seals JGB show the other night :-\

lol like really tho

15 donations away from the finish line! pledge.wprb.com

RIP Hamish <3

Stay hydrated Dana K

Was in the car when it came on...papa's new Arabic(?) bag was a gas. One should get gifts, not give them, on their birthday. I'm so glad you're spending it with us. Cent'an. Here's to another 50.

THE CLEAN!!!!!!!! Hello Solomonians! HBD Jon!

why must you do this to us

This song used to bring me a lot of joy, and it still does, but it’s bittersweet now

too many feels

The Clean. RIP Hamish indeed. And it is bittersweet now

58 more minutes…anything can happen!

CLEAN CLASSIC! So many great tunes tonight Jon!

Way too many RIP shows lately. I am just a witness these days.

Dead Moon is a band I would probably never heard/heard of were it not for WPRB

Dead Moon night!

never *have heard

Where'd the Cheese Go? - Ween

Some top notch excellent tunes this evening, boss - nice job birthday boy

God this rocks

"the escutcheons were up against the chapparals of the escarpment amongst the cupreous and dancebright carp and catfish with their sprueless underbellies disenthroned with their ten thousand dreams ensepulchred in their crozzled hearts." - Cormac McCarthy

Philly Record Exchange has lots of Dead Moon on vinyl right now

Lol Brian D

Bout time we had some crozzled hearts

i don;t work there, i just went there last week

Sounds way more like Carlos Castañeda to me Brian.

Crozzled Hearts . Opening for Wolf Head Cane.

New one - what's the WORST concert you've ever seen?

my buddy got tickets for us - which it turned out we had to BUY - for Air. they played for exactly 30 min. then gone. $30. so a dollar a minute.

YODA 💚

DJ JonSolomon ❣️❣️❣️

dj lili❣️

Lol Dennnisons !!

Contradictory behavior at its best: I like to make multiple one-time-donations!

INot a concert but...n my late teens my grandfather took the entire family to see Pat Cooper. This teenage punk didn't want to be there and sat through the entire showvwith a deep and immobile scowl. We were seated right below the stage. Cooper noticed and continually gazed at me with annoyance to match mine.

@ mike - hold on - like Pat Cooper the old comedian? that's awesome. my god. old school!

Soul Asylum w/ one OG member: worst show ever

@Jon - My gift to you: you can do the May the Fourth show- let’s flip! I actually gotta be at my kid’s school that night for her big 8th grade final project, so it works out quite well!

>:)

Yep, DJT

TWO MORE!!

Liz, let us discuss when I am not on the radio but thank you!!

Pat Cooper!

I'm that old.

I love an eggplant parm with extra hot peppers.

No lettuce, all spices.

mommy egplantvpstm

and parm

ONE MORE.

(That is for you, TAndy.)

Huh, worst ever concert is so tough, I know worst opener but worst concert? I'm trying to think if I've walked out of anything that wasn't to talk to a friend

when i think of Pat Cooper I think of tonight shows and jerry lewis telethons.

I love eggplants with lasagna and mac cheese

🤘

@Alana yeah, I never walk out just on principle

Jon, what is the Trenton sandwich shop you talked about a few weeks ago? How's their egplant parm?

i might change my worst concert actually - i got free tickets when i worked at the record store - a nice perk in the old days - for Steppenwolf. it wasn't pretty.

Seconding Mike's question, I love to hear about local eateries.

When band members get annoyed at you...I think I pissed off Tod A once. How do you tell a dude "Sorry I have chronic back problems?" when he wants everyone to dance at his show? Sorry you think I'm a killjoy! I've been waiting to see you for years, fuck youuu for making me feel bad about my broken body!

Little King in Hamilton Square and Sub Maria on Nottingham in East Trenton are excellent spots. Both close early though.

Yogi's on Whitehorse where the Kmart used to be is also apparently very good, never been there yet though.

When I saw Wall of Voodoo they broke up - like on stage, mid show. so that kind of sucked, but also seemed oddly entertaining at the time

Alana bands that demand people dance are obnoxious!

I grew to appreciate Cooper when he became more of an angry comic. I was so uninterested in his type of comedy (kind of still feel it's still kind of too narrowly focused, but can be funny if done well, Sebastisn Maniscalco)

Mexican Radio !!

I had to go see Satriani once because the tour drummer was a family friend. That was not my favorite show But I didn't HATE it. Oh wait, still pretty angry at the time Lou Barlow couldn't make it through a song, he was so drunk. We DID walk out of that. Winner!

Behind the Wall of Voodoo

Never saw any band play drunker than the replacments

DJ Tenderloin - the DRAMA 👁️👁️

I saw Lemonheads w/ a blitzed Evan Dando but it was more amusing than anything

Beauty sunset imminent in Bucks Co

I was at that Lollapalooza where Rage Against The Machine came out naked to protest the PMRC, but couldn’t see what was going on from the crowd. It was nightmarishly hot and they were charging 10 bucks for any drinks.

Nice! Brian D

GOAL ACHIEVED!!

amusing w/ the mats too - saw paul throw up and then lie down on the stage and sing The Ledge. All eyes look up to me....

Sounds brown, Brian D

Thanks for the foodery tips...my brother works in trenton, I'll have him check them out and bring over some sammidges

@DJ Tenderloin, the one time I saw the Replacements, they weren't too drunk.

Nice!

Cool Greenhouse! Goal achieved! Exciting!!

Woohoo!

Peachy tangerine and brown ya

MAZEL TOV JON SOLOMON! a nice bday present

@Mike Meatheadz in Lawrence is also a very solid cheesesteak place... I recommend getting it with Cooper sharp cheddar.

Also WOOOOOO

SHARP CHEDDAR UP NO WIZ 🛎️

Way to go Pledgers!!!! Thank you all! Thank you Jon! Thank you WPRB! Thank you all the DJs, listeners, chatters etc!

Yayyy

WOOOOOOOT!!! Yay! Congratulations, Jon! Congratulations, Lili!

@rob - they could be the best band in the world on the right night - but they could also be the drunkest sloppiest band too. toss up

Can we get to.....60?!

Pat Cooper Sharp Cheddar

I didn't kniw Rage were around during the heyday of the PMRC...loved Zappa's send-up of the hearing, Ibthink in 1988.

Electric 6 live wasted (them) was pretty great, it worked

These guys know what's up

I see I missed my Govt Issue request (yay!) but wanted to pop in to again say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUU, Jon!!!! 60! 60!

HaPpY bIrThDaY, jOn SoLoMoN!

@alana - i also hate - "lets make some noise" "everybody scream!" that kinda hype

Mike T, Zappa schooled the entire US govt 💪

@DJ Tenderloin, I obv. hit them on a good night. One band I wanted to go see was The Fall. The (first) time I wanted to see them but couldn't, Mark E. Smith was extremely drunk and iirc the show was ended early, so I'm soo glad I didn't go

(⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

The Our Band Could Be Your Life chapter on Replacements story where Bob barely clothed gets caught in some streamer/banner decor at a college gym as he stumbled around and tore it all down, dragging it with him. I lost my breath laughing at that

Never saw the Fall

would've like too

Thanks Roff! Thanks TAndy! Thanks Wild Bill!

Way to go, Jon!

Yep, Zappa is the closest thing I have for an idol.

👁️👁️

ALL THE SPICES KNOWN TO MAN

I never did see The Fall at all, for better or worse.

oh NO, now I'm craving Hoagie Haven

THE SPICE MUST FLOW

Eating hoagie haven is like eating taco bell. Impossible to eat driving without some spillage

Zappa, John Denver and Dee Snider of Twisted Sister all testified at the hearing during that PMRC stuff. Brings all together!

HAHAHAH

@Brian - tooting my own horn a little here - so my buddy Jim Saah took the photo on the cover of that book - and the sweaty kid with the striped shirt on the cover at the minor threat show? well that would be me.

I gsd tickets to the Zappa tour that self-distructed, and ge never toured again.

Nice DJ Tenderloin 📸

Yes, a motley crew in Congress.

Welp, u can tell Maggie she made my cry 😭

I remember hearing about the Fall fight on stage on WPRB when it happened. Then some dj replayed the audio from that wprb story in the last few years.

Someone threw too much on stage, Mike.

Such an awkward night: my ex-boyfriend was there taking up almost every seat with his friends, and I hadn't yet accepted my back meant I could ask for accommodation so I just stood in so much pain I was almost crying. I'm not mad at Tod A, for real. I'm sure he thought I was just shy.

wished I saw Zappa too. never got the chance.

Dana K is all cried out

Zappa was well before my time, but he's one of the greats I wish I could have seen live.

I will let her know when her piano lesson is over, Josh!!

Nothing but tears over here

Go to Hoagie Haven and order the eggplant parm “Jon’s way”

Woulda loved to see Apex Twin during his early years too.

💗💗💗

Dweezil Zappa is great live. He listens to other musicians well.

my big miss is Tom Waits. Came close to seeing him on B'way but no go.

No fooling Liz?

DJ Tenderloin, Tom W held the door for me at a Barnes & Noble in norCal once. I was floored

@alana - that is alot of drama!

@Lizbot, Eggplant parm! OMG that is heaven on a cloud of bread!

@Brian D - The Fall fight was epic. And Greg Lyon of The Good the Bad & The Ugly who used to be on before me many years ago interviewed Mark E. Smith! He was scared beforehand but Mark was not feeling belligerent and they got on great!

@Tandy.. ear where I live there is a place called “ Joe’s Garage”..I want to sto0 there sometime just t9 see if they are fans

@Matt - wow - that's pretty cool. I'd give anything if he would come around and play.

@Mike Tropiano - We gotta make this catch on!

Happy birthday Jon!!!

I think I saw The Fall in Reno once at a rib fest

I'm game!

That was the pared-down version! 😬

Aw, New Order!!

Carlos nice! "Watermelon in Easter Hay" is one of Frank Z's top 3 compositions

Matt what the HeH is a rib fest. Like people show off their ribcages???

NEW ORDER ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 this Gem 💎🎶🎵❣️

Lol TAndy bbq fest

Somewhere I have a limewire download of Superchunk covering New Order.

TAndy never been to a rib fest smdh

🥓🍗🍖🥩🔥

>:)

Walking in the rain of the Mann Music Center New Order show surrounded by friends who’d waited YEARS for that many-times-rescheduled show last September and hearing Temptation near the end of the night = One of my most special show memories of 2022!

I am a simple girl. This song makes me happy every time I hear it.

I was doing social things with humans but so glad I caught Grauzone and ivy Green!!!

TAndy what the hell is goblin mode

DJ JonSolomon 💎💙 Happy Birthday 🎁🎂❣️

Thank you!!!

@Mätt, The ocean is the ultimate solution is just a Zappa tune that hits me just right.

Hey listen - great chatting with everyone - I gotta sca-daddle - HAPPY 50TH JON SOLOMON! great show man. enjoy everyone - till next time - special goodies are already in the works for xmas....

LIMEWIRE Dennnisons 👾👾👾

I love that this is the first thing you remember on WPRB. This is one of the first bands I remember hearing on "alternative radio" and one of my earliest concerts!

Big cheers to DJ JonSolomon and dj lili!!

I was in 7th grade and time might have stopped.

My kid had gotten into New Order between when I bought the tickets for that show back in …2019?…and when it finally happened, so I brought her and it was an incredible night.

When I saw the Darling Buds at 9:30, they performed this New Order song. It's a long-time fave of mine, and I didn't know that the Darling Buds had covered it. The entire audience including me started singing along. I was wiping tears from my eyes

Is a rib fest like somewhere else's hoagiefest?

I think the DJ played Guadalcanal Diary before Temptation but I do NOT REMEMEBR THAT WELL.

@Roff apparently Frank liked Watermelon, Black Napkins, & Peaches en regalia of all his music

I saw a picture of Ian Cyrtis's daughter today on Facebook. I think it's her birthday too.

Alana yes

@DJ Tenderloin, bye!

Giant beef ribs that look like Jurassic Park eats

Reno is a weird city

@Matt, DinoBBQ?

HBD Jon! Happy 50 hope it's nifty!!

@Jon - Hattie was the same age as you when you first heard Temptation on WPRB when she got super into New Order and when I took her to that aforementioned New Order Mann Music Center show. WPRB generational historic appreciation society

@Mätt, I saw Zappa do Black Napkins at the Spectrum as a mere lad. :(

The Fall fight being discussed was at Brownies, right? I saw them a few days later at Coney Island High and wondered why Mark had a black eye.

HBD again Jon! Sending my regards to Mike and Pethie as I leave home in a few to make my trek to Princeton before my shift starts tonight. Congrats!!

Happy Birthday Jon and thanks Jon and Lili for the show!!!!

Rob MD totally dino bbq 🔥🦖🦕 Let's thaw out extinct creatures...and eat em

Nice Roff!

Great show! 50 is nifty.

Welcome to your silver years Jon. Stay out of the Villages. Folk like us ain't welcome there.

Happy Birthday from DJ Pethie’s mom.

Good show folks. Thank you. And a very happy birthday Jon.

Great show, great hanging with everyone!

Awesome show and happy birthday once again Jon 🥞🎁🎉🔥✊🏾⭐🥓🍆🍝

Greatest radio station in the greatest state! Wprb

Happy bday, Jon! I’m looking forward to Star Wars day! Great to see everybody!

It's New Jersey's ONLY radio station, Matt ...

HBD JS!

'73 baby! We are 138!

Awwww, we're crying here because of the 50-year old wine. Happy Bday one more time, Jon!

Happy birthday again, Jon! Cheers to all in the chat!

Who has richer fans?
