HEY KIDS

First!

Dammit!

TOO LATE SOLOMON

Hahaha

Dot dammit!

Third?

hello, friends! I've never seen a race into the chat before!

IT IS A BIG DAY!

Hello hello!

I always win. KILLDOZER

Hey everyone! Running Redlights in the rain!

Hello Jen and my fellow driving scofflaws

Well, I'm ready to GET SICK.

I am so glad to see you all!!

no barfing in the back seat!

Red Sparrows keeping the meta data display crawl taxed . That is a mouthful of song and lp title!

Kids are in the house

Hey You Kids, Get Off My Hastily Made Life Choices.

Hey punks, get off the grass

Can't see red.

grass? did somebody say grass?

Lawn is green though.

love that siren.

I was just talking about the dog faced Hermans!!!

i am withholding the cow bell but only because mike has an air horn

Sounding good, team.

Jen do you want me to email you an Andy moor station ID real quick?

whaaaaaa YES I DO

Ok done

(jon, great to know!)

thank you!!!

You kids these days!

ngl, a cowbell siren duet may hit the spot.

Some peoples kids

one of you requested a different Muffs song last week - sorry i can't play that one but THIS ONE ROCKS

Yo, Friday afternoon pitcrew, let's get some quick n' dirty early pledges in right now! Give us some folks to thank when we come back for the first break!

tell the socials! tell the neighbors! turn it up!

If you're already a monthly donor, howzabout a one-time pledge to top it off?

I’m here I’m here. Yo, everyone.

If there are but 10x more one-time donations during HEY YOU RUN GET OFF MY TRANSISTOR this station will reach a big round number with two zeros at the end of new one-time donations.

WAT

hi, friday!

Shirley, we can do that!

I just realized I need a lot more Double Cheese in my life.

that record is a party in a box

That’s an early Muffs song when Melanie Vammen was in the group. I saw her and Kim play together again at a Pandoras reunion in Jersey City eight years ago. Shortly before Kim’s death, the two recorded with Palmyra Delran as the Coolies.

!!!! this is good info, David!

pouring one out for Kim S. :(

thank you, DJ Commie!!

I saw the Muffs many times yet never met Kim. I got to speak with the others, but she was too much the center of attention.

also, I just realized I need more Makers in my life

Mark?

Are you hopped up on goofballs,kid?

So need that early clock out bell. Whew. Thank goodness for WPRB getting us through the week (s)!

Double fromage

Doble Queso

fromage a la deux!

Government cheese

Doppio Formaggio

Has anyone ever had to string a hockey net? Just bought a new one for my son and I'm really struggling with this....

Oooooh...string cheese

:'-D

parrscream, i just learned how to collapse a portable soccer net...but i fear that will not save you

@Jen - Ha! That's also probably something I should know how to do. I've decided I'm going to buy zip ties and not even bother with the string.

hello friday people

i find a cardboard box makes an excellent net ;)

@Jen - Ha ha! That's what is might come to!

Also, are we perhaps shooting for three straight weeks with some Friday afternoon Frodus.... maybe?

Act o love. Don;t call me Shirley!

YOU ARE A SUPERHERO and stop calling me shirley

did i hear someone say MORE FRODUS?

parrscream, duct tape

It might also come to that Colin!

I think it might be Frodus O'Clock....?

it's frodus time somewhere

These past two sets are 🔥 🔥

LOL Christine, so glad you are still Darth Uhuru

DJ Jen & DJ Mike Lupica, you're bringing the ROCK

I treasure my Star Wars reggae name.

You definitely got one of the better ones. All that was left on the list at the end of the show was Mon Mothma McCook and Ras Ahsoka

I did wear a name tag at the office the day after i recieved my name, jabba the tosh

Fantastic!~

I got a least two silent head shakes and one, I'm not gonna ask that day

Priceless.

Love ya, thanks for all this.

Anyone else here see the Sadies in Asbury Park two Sundays ago?

Endeavor to perservere! With rock candy. Just for lookin' thru

In related Bringing the Rock news, Garbage released their cover of Siouxsie & the Banshees' "Cities in Dust" today.

Gooba Gabba gooba Gabba

GET UP GET UP!

Woooooooooooooooooooooo!

@david how were the sadies??

also how awesome is it that Amyl = birthday music?!

frodus o'clock up next

It's total birthday music

PARTY

The video for this Amyl and the Sniffers song is fantastic. I love how it's so obvious that all the band members are utterly terrified of Amyl.

A M Y L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amy brings it!

Freaks ref was pricles!

Australian accents are so perfect for this kind of yelly singing

haahah i have not seen the video! (Commie, YESSSSS)

christine, super curious about that garbage song, as soon as I turn off wprb (352 years from now) I'll check it out!

Oh is Jen starting a trend playing an Aussie band on the show I wonder. ....

Good ol' amyl nitrate

Pledge dog Walter is growling in his sleep

A one time pledge of $10 is barely more than the price of the Frank Zappa Funko Pop I saw at GameStop and I'm confident the former will give you more joy than the latter.

And moshing

I bought some ant traps for $10. Better purchase: burrito. Even better: WPRB PIN

Youv got Frodus on your breaf

I love the "IT BURNS!!" Pin!

Zappa once said Freaks was his favorite movie. I concur.

All the pats for Pledge dog Walter! 💕

The Sadies were a good trio, Jen. You may have heard their guitarist Dallas died last year. The opener Carson McPhone joined them for a song.

Walter's Lips - Melvins

Aw yeah!

oh geez, @david, i did not :(

Songs where all the other instruments STOP! and give it to the drums! Always a winner

@David, I play guitar and death is right up there on my bucket list as last.

Brian D good point 🥁

Four more one-time donations gets WPRB to 500 of 'em this drive alone. Which is wild!

Australasia is is good, but the tickets here are sold out.

Cannot spell at this hour.

Came in to hit goals and chew gum and we're all outta gum

@jon we got 6 donations during Flahab/Ahex Time/Sludge which I found an appropriately evil number for evil musics

PANDER TO ME JEN

Add : Give it to the drums (and the vocals) ya

Brian D 😎

That's awesome, Mätt. Flahab were great on Wednesday too.

Dog is 7. Panda(r) is 8

RIP Chris Bailey of the Saints. What a voice.

Pledge to save the panders

pledging for panders and voices we adore

Heard Jen's great tribute to Saints last year while driving down to the shore

Same time Brian? I gotta buy new shoes!

"What about those tater tots? Are you gonna eat them?"

The Smooshed Tots

Now I want tater tots

Hello and good afternoon, tater tot fans!

With ketchup!

Did you see the letter Ian MacKaye found recently from a certain former Scream drummer as a 14-year-old?

Lobster-tots

Make America Tot Again

haha Jon i think i read that! prob why i had scream on the brain

No, Jon. What did the letter say?

Wait, are Lobster Tots a thing? Brian, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

That letter was great! So awesome that he still had it.

Let me find it, Rob.

Ty Jon!

https://brightestyoungthings.com/articles/dc-news-you-can-maybe-use-826

when i was a teen i wrote a letter to ian, well more like a postcard. i stole the cover of my brother's copy of fugazi by marillion and wrote "book on vietnam indeed! ha! love, rachel" on the back. because ian mackaye said fugazi was a GI slang term from the vietnam war he found in a book

https://www.culturecreature.com/dave-grohl-ian-mackaye-letter/

he sent me back a xerox of the page from the book and wrote "album by british progressive rock band indeed! ha! love ian"

aw the lil faith logo!

I wrote to Pavement back in the day and got a postcard from Spiral Stairs, was fun

That's amazing.

Frying in peanut oil hurts no one but idiots. It's a rule.

i was actually legit penpals with guy picciotto for a while, he sent me a zombies mix

Yes Mike! Lobster Tots are wonderful! Had them at a food truck last year.

Two more one-time pledges from 500!

I’m familiar with the 1965 version of “Wild About You” by Australia’s The Missing Links, but I didn’t know its B-side is a cover of “Nervous Breakdown”!

That letter from Grohl to MacKaye is quite charming

Lobster Tots sounds like daycare for lobsteritos, and delish

David S the Black Flag anthem?

Tots, lobster chunks, sour cream, cilantro, lime, pico.. good sheeett

And I love the Faith logo on it

Not the end of the world but we can sure see it from here.

That Peechees song didn't sound bad, but man were they awful when I saw them open for Rocket From the Crypt years ago. I walked out during their first song.

GUMPTION

I meant the Eddie Cochran anthem, Mätt!

Ah, very good, David S

I hoped there might be some Sprints today!!

i've been listening to this record incessantly this week!

@david that sucks about peechees! i don't remember if i saw them, but maybe that's why

I am doing a 10 mile run on Sunday and I think I'll need to put some Sprints on the playlist for the more difficult stretches where I need some oomph.

One more one-timer to 500!

AND THERE IT IS.

FIVE HUNDRED!!!!

BOOM! Nice work, everyone! Jon, how many more to 20 for this shift?

siren-o-clock?

Only one goal left to hit my friends. 20 pledges by 5:00 pm ET. Last week we got there at 4:59:58.

Wow! Six more!

5 HUNDO boyeeeeeee

QUINIENTOS!

SO ACHIEVABLE

yay!

Let me double check the ol' numbahs.

cinq cents fromage

WPRB RUN BARTERTOWN.

Yep. 14 down and but six pledges to go for Jen and Mike to wrap up this Membership Drive show in stellar fashion.

only 6 more and we've done it!

i wish you could like tracks like you can on the w**u playlist. i would like this track

hahaha you can still ❤️ it with us

(Borat voice) I LIKE

I am trying to find a French book called Punk Suprematism

Easy enough, Mätt. https://lespressesdureel.com/EN/ouvrage.php?id=9671

Nice, thanks David S!

Charles Baudelaire dyed his hair green in the 1800s, that was pretty punk/protopunk

FIVE MORE TO GO! pledge.wprb.com

We are SOOOOO CLOSEEEEEE

These Constantines records have aged tremendously. I want to listen to nothing else sometimes.

it's so damn good!

I have a funny story about recording their live session at WPRB but another chat. We've got a goal to hit, people.

Angry Samoans ✊

I saw a couple Angry Samoans shows in recent years. The modern version of the band sounded good, but Mike seemed really bored.

Woo! Cheers, Jen & Mike!

That. Was. Ridiculous.
