Jon Solomon Wed May 10 with Jon Solomon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Keep those fingers crossed...

hay oh

hey hey. Levels are a touch low...

Better? Nearly in the red here.

Does not sound low on the FM, about normal if not a tad louder than usual I'd say

Still seems softer than the Capn

Curious.

OK, maybe it's just the stream, then

Add it to the notes!

I'm just glad to be LIVE from THE BARGE again!

Or maybe this is what I get for listening to the transition from the other room?

though maybe quality sounds a little lower? like a little more lo-fi?

Hiyas

BAAAAAARGE

When do we get our "I Got Barged" stickers?

Yes - I like to munch on basketball when watcing a movie

Keep it Schweird

holy frejoles

Big high 5 ya

Wow

prolly gotta track that nine year old down and beat them in the next race, then really rub it in their now 15 year old face

Endeavor to persevere

With rock candy included

DSM, I still see that near-15-year-old from time to time!

I did go back and check his 2017 time and I bested that too!

Triumph! Hurrah!

Nice!

Not sure if you could hear the tiny digital crackles I was hearing on-mic but I suspect it is a headphone thing.

There's now a guitar teacher above the Barge studio so if you hear any bleed from that please let me know...

I feel like our next piece of merch needs to recreate this cover: https://www.discogs.com/release/403393-DeBarge-Rhythm-Of-The-Night/image/SW1hZ2U6MTQ0MzY1NjM=

How are YOU, chat?

Talk sets sounded great, btw

I hope someone (Classy Pat, you reading this? Denissons?) might be up to design a WPRB Membership Drive shirt with a barge graphic on it.

Cool cool. Thanks, Dan.

My mic was too quiet (comparatively) the first time I was at The Barge so I went higher on the slider.

okai im back and ready for barge tunes

You heard it folks. Jon is "high" on the air. what an example for todays youth...

I like the "tinking glass" melody they got going

Francis, the only thing I'm high on tonight is Toasted Coconut Seltzer.

(Seltzer is on a separate table from the fixed board, do not worry.)

OOhh - that sounds pretty good. Who makes that?

Polar. It comes from The Lupica Collection.

killin' it tonight Solomon.

To quote another WPRB DJ: "The Barge - where the seltzer flows like seltzer."

Thanks, Chris. Good luck with everything this week!

@DSM, this one sounds even better tonight than when I listened to it at home!

@Francis, thank you for your vote. Tonight's poll is at the top of this evening's playlist.

so, on the news, they just said that there is lots of smoke particles in the upper atmosphere in this area so the sunrises and sunsets are likely to be "spectacular"

for the next few days

The rainbow(s) last Thursday were a nice bonus. I should be heading out of here in time for a sunset drive. Thanks for the tip!

Anyone else remember the St Helens sunsets?

I think I had their 45 on Get Hip.

Are there photos, Dan?

They all have that weird 1980 color photo grime to them

I remember the St Helens sunsets and the Mt Pinatubo sunsets.

Hey, Stevie P. Didn't get to greet you earlier!

🏆 Killdozer, your victory lap begins.

I find myself snacking less during movies these days, I suppose I'm "other" being nothing or something quietly consumable

@DSM, oh how I used to love to sneak a comfortably-sized burrito into a movie theater for an afternoon screening.

No prob, Jon. I felt the welcoming vibes.

LOL I used to do that too, or a hoagie! I remember seeing the 2nd Pirates of the Caribbean with a massive burrito

I would try and cover it with a jacket, the foil kept it fairly contained but would have stood out to a ticket taker...

ONE Killdozer to rule them ALL

one dozer to kill them all

Wait, so Killdozer predates the 2004 Colorado bulldozer incident?

I believe the band took their name from a 196X Russ Meyer film?

Huh

CORRECTION! Russ Meyer directed Mudhoney, *not* Killdozer!

That being said...

"A small construction crew on an island is terrorized when a spirit-like being takes over a large bulldozer, and goes on a killing rampage."

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071717/

Looks great. Pity MvM won't do the 70s

Perhaps they'll launch different shows under the Mary Vs. Movies umbrellas to cover other periods.

Dennis Vs. Tennis, reviewing great matches in history, is there for the taking...

Deth Spiral, the Not Spiral recap podcast

😶‍🌫️

Weather is clear all week till Saturday, then potentially good all next week too.

"BRB" postcard was cute ya

Love that postcard, repair guy looks stoned 😎

I believe WPRB's own Lili designed it!

It is indeed a cute card. Hopefully they'll start the work soon. There was fear the cards wouldn't get out before the work began...

They gotta replace the transmitter guide wires and that's no joke!

Oh shit yeah that's a huge job

Pardon my french

Necessary work, it is my understanding this may not have been done before in most of our lifetimes.

No ideal time to do it, but better to replace the wires than watch the transmitter tilt over one day.

@Jon I picked up some Black Cherry Caffeinated Seltzer yesterday.

@James, who makes it? Any good?

Caffeinated seltzer??? I'm curious

Oh this is quite good.

Thanks for the clean edit of that one, Dan!

Company is called Amelia Selzer. Different airplanes on the bottles for the different flavors. Giant supermarket had it. I forgot to put it in the fridge last night, so I'll let you know tomorrow morning when I have it

Ooh, is it sweetened?

no sweeteners

Hmmmm

I know Amelia, didn't know they did caf ones now though.

one of the non-sugar sweeteners gives me headaches, so I avoid them

http://ameliabeverages.com/products.htm

This current piece is sending me to a good place rn

That's the one. 4th one down

Sunset music

Let the jam jam.

Ooooof 😍

Headphones enabled for this one.

OMG this KILLS!!!!

Lovingly pummeled

Can't get out of my car until it's over

Michael, no spoilers but you might be in your car for a while...

That's cool, nowhere to go but into Costco

Can I trouble you to go into Costco and tune all their stereos to 103.3 fm, please?

C what I can do

Appreciate it.

Had to break from cooking to see how long we are at on this one, impressive!!

The. Low. Notes.

And.... one of those cases where the band lives up to the song title.

this great droney spacey stuff is making me want to plug back in again (i've had to keep things acoustic for some time)

these guys not only escaped the bone cave, they transcended it! (Ahab chat reference)

please update playlist

song at 6:28 sounded like silent hill

Of course we are now moving into the chill zone...I can see this being played at Massage Envy on a planet with 10 x gravity of Earth. Hulk being the masseuse

@coffeemancer I think it's all been Psychedelic Inner Santum 2 since 6:16

@Coffeemancer, this is the same piece that was playing at 6:28!

Same song! This one is around an hour or so long I think

".I can see this being played at Massage Envy on a planet with 10 x gravity of Earth. Hulk being the masseuse" is an all-time great chat comment. Salute!

oh lol

sorry

No need to be sorry, glad you're tuned in.

Jon, did you happen to listen to part 1?

I did!

I think that's what Ahab played a while back.

Hearing some Maggot Brain in this one

@Michael went to Costco clean-shaven, will be heading home with a full beard.

lol

Sitting in my whip is better than dropping 2 hundy in Kirkland

Hope they didn't close at 7...

I refuse to leave this spot until the situation has drastically changed!

ooh yeah

I promise this will wrap up by 7:59 at the absolute latest.

Isn't nature byootiful?

Evenin' Jon! Is this from last year or longer ago?

December 2022, @Ambrose.

I can see this being the soundtrack for some mythic Viking creation story. Grendel's innermost sanctum

Cheers!

I'd say it's settling down, but maybe they got another hour in em

Jon, the FCC is knocking at ur door

I assure you it is not longer than my program itself.

Pretty sure that's just Grady, @TAndy.

TRUEEEEE.

They didn't put this out as 6 LPs, did they?

BIEN HECHO! BIEN TOCADO!

Me mata Madrid!

Psychedelic Inner Sanctum II (radio edit)

Psychedelic Inner Sanctum II. For when the drive is 6 minutes longer than one Dopesmoker 💿🚗💨

Ha! Perfect.

YOU CAN GO TO COSTCO NOW, MICHAEL!!

Flipping a record mid-song is a buzzkill, for sure.

Thank you Jon! Thank you Axiom nueve! Thank you Ahab! Thank you WPRB! Only here only here

I'm delighted to play a 68+ minute song followed by a 1.5 second sound bite.

👏👏👏

I needed to drive into the sourlands instead

These songs seem so quick now compared to PIS II

This is great too!

The hits keep coming

And on that note, I should be getting ready for work now. Thanks for the jams, Jon!

Best of luck, TAndy.

nice nice nice

tag team, back again

Thx Jon! Perfect soundtrack to major spackling.

That's why we're here!

Just realized I don't have to be done at 8 sharp. Actual transitions. Unreal.

Good night bargees

Mike is really here, promise.

On air transitional DJ banter some nights would be fun

Thanks Jon, great show, always a pleasure!

I will be sure to yell in when he is on air at least...

Great show! Thanks for the Yo La Tengo colsing!
