It's ON, friends

Electromagnetic bird hands? Will they increase my life list?

And good afternoon everyone

If by that you mean, should you buy this: yes!

hello!

Late Friday afternoon.... time to crack a beer and run some red lights (figuratively, of course)

That's not quite what I meant, but I'll explore that option too :-)

Beer o clock. Pledge o clock!

I'd buy that inst lp up sure

2 great tastes together here!

Christmas in April

Like it outta the gate

Didn't know this one. Learn about a good band every week on RR!

Are our levels OK?

I love that! Blood Wizard also apparently cousins to Gary Numan and Robyn Hitchcock!

@parrscream be careful out there! See ya, work! ;)

Six pledges from 600!

SIX!!!! I just shrieked

72 pledges from 666!

@Jen - Ha ha.... I'm being very responsible.... I am parked in an Adirondack chair in my driveway.... treating the neighbors to some Redlight Radio.... And yea, LATER WORK! Quitting time is now 3:00 on Fridays. :-)

Outstanding, Parrscream! @Dan HAHAHAHAHA

Five more to reach our first goal!

Hi Jen and Jon! Very Pozi - tive start.

GUITAR WOLF!

@Dan, too bad it's not 42 pledges from 666

All this posi is making me wish i had some Crucial Youth ready to go

The only Guitar Wolf clip that matters: https://youtu.be/FEtvkH56UcU

Four away!

that is amazing!!

dude, i so love guitar wolf...will check that after the show!

It's the pep talk from Wild Zero!

Wild Zero <3

hi jen + jon!

welcome, sir!

Andrew, that's a remarkable screen name.

all the good puns were taken

Did someone say Friday afternoon?

Appreciate you doing this, Jen.

All-time song right here.

Guardian obituary - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/apr/21/mark-stewart-pop-group-frontman-dies-aged-62

SUCH a bummer. And such an amazing band.

hi, Friday!

Can we make 15 pledges during the show today, guys???? Only 5 more to 600 for WPRB!

Bummer about Mark Stewart

supersad :(

Thanks Jen! Trying to get you to 666

We're one closer thanks to you!

Jim!!!! Awesome!!!

Benzin!!!

I remember when I started at WPRB, The Pop Group's Y was so crazily out of print that the only way to get it was a super expensive Japanese import. Such a good record

Jon, reminds me of your recent Jamie Branch tribute show. I found it especially informative because I hadn’t known much about her prior.

Thanks, Fr1day. Grief for relative strangers is so weird. When Jaimie Branch died all I wanted to do was listen to their music. When Mimi from Low passed I found it very difficult to put on Low.

Sorry to bring the room down. pledge.wprb.com!

celebrating lives and discovering amazing artists in the process

shall we now discuss instead how much this Civic record rules?

Yeah, this is a timeless winner.

Wait a minute....this is Jen from Get Off My Lawn?

Three pledges away from our first goal of the show!

She's back!!!!!!

Nobody loves ALL-CAPS AUSTRALIAN BANDS like Jen!

It is I!

Older and not at all wiser

I'm always listening to Jen's show going who's this sounds Australian

hahahah Commie, you've got my number ;)

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?

Surprise!

haha hi, Mike! This is a fun surprise! Guess who my guest star is next week??

It's not your fault that Australia has a seemingly infinite supply of super rockin' bands

Hey you kids... rocking show Jen & Jon!

Lupica?

You'll have to tune in to see! ;)

Commie, for sure, and i still need to visit and watch all the rock!

Well....I shall...it's the 90's allover again

Two pledges from 600!

AMAZING!!! KEEP IT COMING, FRIENDS!

ONE MORE TO HIT THE FIRST GOAL.

pledge.wprb.com

One of my favorite Aussies comedy writer / long-suffering graphic design worker David Thorne and his take on Aus weather plus fun other stuff nsfw https://27bslash6.com/function4sports.html

Hit that post

601 pledges and rising...

I would like to pledge in the amount of Jon Solomon

The exchange rate is...not great!

I pledged! That was no joke! You should also pledge! pledge.wprb.com.

I'll be extending my pledge to get a hold of that BEACH TOWEL

WPRBEACHTOWEL would be a mouthful of an aussie band name

BEACH TOWEL? Love their split with MINI SKIRT.

HAHAHHA

you have given me a great idea

which is to play Mini Skirt

Always a great idea in my opinion.

Five more pledges and Jen hits her goal!

FIIIIIIIIVEE!!!!'

D E A D M O O N !!!!!!!!!!

Richard is summoned

hellloooooooooo

yesssss!

LEESASEENSONNN! Love those Espańolas

when wprb plays Dead Moon, I know I did the right thing by becoming a member

You rock Jen! Great set!

Classy Pat in the chat!

Now that's a member slogan if ever I saw one, Classy Pat! Thanks, Louis!!!

@Brian new Lisasinson record coming soon!

Am i accidentally listening to my own show?? You are killing it Jen!

that is HUGE praise, Commie! Thanks!

I know I've only heard Broccoli on this show

Dip in a pledge toe.. pledge tub is warm...

@Jon, are the Bath Boy stickers going to be available to listeners?

I consider myself, pledge boy ...

Rob, I wanted to make them for donors but I suspect it will be "select donors like you."

Three pledges away! Mini Skirt!

From the lovely quotes even during this show alone, I think we could pull off an entire bumper sticker series

Handshake stickers... back channel alley like..

THREE!!

Ray Davies voice: australiaaaaaaa

Jon, I'll be happy to make another donation just for the sticker

hahahaha @Commie

Rob, when the drive dust settles I'll find somewhere good to make 50x of these and hopefully figure out how best to get in the best hands...

I don't know Mini Skirt but I love this. Sounds like David Lowery fronting Hold Steady

it's a terrific record, @classy pat!

They're like a more tuneful Cosmic Psychos to these ears. Should be generic pub rock but thankfully isn't!

and this one is a Hey, You Kids classic....

YES!!

DICKIES😍

Mini Skirt, Waste Man, Clamm… putting them on my list to dig into. Killer show today

Love this song. Lot's of good memories

yes, i listen to fmu dead moon is played in the morning

@francis likewise!!

Dead Moon should be on all the airwaves! outstanding!

Jon, that would be nice. Could/should I dm you on Twitter with contact info? Or have you completely abandoned that platform?

Going to blast Stuck in a Pagoda on the way home

hahah great music to run redlights to!

I didn't realize this was about pep boys til like... Last year?

which makes it that much funnier, i imagine :D

heh - I'm like that w/ most songs - have no idea what they're singing about

Tight Bros! My day is made.

TWO AWAY! Make Jen's day with a pledge! pledge.wprb.com

Omg frodus

Play Frodus = Pledge from Parrscream (Thanks Jen!)

YESSSSSS!

frodus awakening the pledges, as is only right and natural

\m/

Easy. Pies. Standing on heads. Peasy....

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

New goal of 20 pledges. Three to go. Incredible outpouring, all. pledge.wprb.com

let's do it!!!!!

play i'm a dick ,that's a great no fukin incredible song

not sure i can make that happen this week but will try to have it on deck for next!

great show RR

and Jon

I second that!

Two days!!???

Ok Jeffrey saltz

Two more! pledge.wprb.com

Pony tail and mini skirt need to do a split

As someone off to pick up good pizzas once your show is done, those comments hit me where I live Jen!

10 minutes left!

@commie EXCELLENT plan

c'mon team, we can do this!

Miss those city garden days.

so many memories!

What an incredible finish it would be if we could get two more pledges in the last seven minutes. I wish that car hadn't taken Youth Of Today's words so literally...

i remember when they called it city garbage

on tsr

I'm trying to limit my pledging budget but this song from the rata negra family tree is tempting me sorely

Listening while I take of horses in rural high desert. Thanks for de-drudging my day!

*care*

fuk me what will i do

Thanks for the fun show, Jen and Jon!

ONE MORE!

pledge.wprb.com
