Television Personalities!!!!!!

Awesome set

great set - took a screen video of the playlist

@Paul Lanctot...at the risk of further freaking out McSweden, I have Spotify playlists of PBR going back to Spring 2022.

@Paul Lanctot. A playlist with today's tracks will be also be up by EOD! They're all set "public". You should be able to find them for searching for "Labhras PBR".

thank u rtc paul richard & labhras!

THIS RN AF

I love how eeby deeby this sounds

i remember you talking about that before! its very flattering

@ iamthelabhras Thanks!

Don't thank me @Paul. McSweden da real MVP here.

Also I realize Spotify is awful. If anybody knows of any less evil ways to create & share playlists I'm all ears.

Good ol .m3u files

This is insane 😍

\m/

Love ballad??

last.fm is still a thing but I have no idea how to use it. I still manually search up songs that I like from all the DJ's programs and add them to a general music YouTube playlist and a playlist for East DJ

Otherwise I'm most often just recording the shows on my laptop at home

NEW ORDER 🖤🖤🖤

Nice TAndy. I fondly remember last.fm. I should revisit it.What software do you use to record the shows?

Just VLC playing back at 77% volume and Audacity recording. Very time consuming having to split each project file so I may have to take it more easy with doing that during the summer schedule

I have YouTube playlists for the WPRBXmas stuff for marathon.christmas. But I find YouTube can be hit or miss. Also not the biggest fan of their UX for listening to tunes...though I must admit I've made quite a few discoveries digging into other people's playlists & niche music channels.

@Labhras searched “Labhras PBR” didn’t get a hit on Spotify- prob not doing something right

I have been told by people that there is a way to have recordings started and stopped with some simple scripting, but I am not running Linux and I don't think I would have the patience to deal with any issues that might present

@Paul...I'm sure you're doing stuff right. I've never searched for my own playlists before so I'm not 100% sure what the best way to zero in on them is.

it is such an honor to see you all talking about how to listen to wprb shows after they aired because you like them so much!

Here's a link to last week's show's playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0HKjGK5a4D1263YicFBtPW?si=2f9db6864559440c.

You might want to try using that to navigate to my Spotify profile then browsing my public playlists?

thanks

Can't count the number of times I listened to PBR driving back home after crashing at a friend's place on Saturday night McSweden! Good memories!!

I'm going to keep it real with you DJ. I literally never have the time to listen to anything I record because I'm always busy listening to whatever is playing live 😂 I'm a bit of a data hoarder

I feel that TAndy.

🤘🤘🤘

maybe it’s the accent over the a that messes the search

@Paul It's entirely possible. Why so many databases hate the fada (´) I have no idea.

I just probably just cut Spotify's search functionality out of the pic altogether and build out a section on my personal site for WPRB playlists. Would prob be a lot easier.

*should just. Wow can't type today.

@Labhras I don’t see the other PPR shows in your profile on Spotify- i dumb

THAT DOG.❣️

@Paul. It's def not you, man. I'm sure it's Spotify and/or how I organized these playlists. I'm 100% sure they're all set public but I'm not sure if putting them in playlist folders makes a difference?

also, after listening to the station for a long time, I finally discovered that the chat is at the bottom of the playlist on my phone, the DJs always say go to wprb/chat, which I do and doesn’t work. They never say hey scroll down to the bottom this playlist for the chat.

on the computer it is on the right side of the playlist

never tried it on mobile!

@Labhras yes, Spotify is evil but it’s so nice for having music variety at my fingertips all the time, I’ll look in the folders- I also listen live whenever I can but sometimes I don’t feel like listening to a jazz show or Indian music, even though they are cool

I try to stay away from the computer! phone also evil though!!

in conclusion, thanks for this music it’s helping me through a hard time.

sending positive vibes to paul lanctot!

wicked hi freq tinnitus after 30 year band reunion

thanks

No earplugs?!? 🙉

UNWOUND 🤎🤎🤎

it was in a studio it happened through headphones, I’m pretty good at sensing when to slip earbuds under them, but the jam was really good, and I think they got desensitized with some high frequency transients- was set up next to the drum set which was idol and then someone with jump on it really loud, and I would turn up the headphones a little. anyway, be careful your ears

@Paul Lanctot: figured out the problem. Apparently you have to _both_ set a playlist public _and_ add it to profile for it to be viewable.

Gone ahead & re-configured all the PBR playlists for Spring 2023 so they show up under my "Public Playlists" now.

@Labhras I see your PBR playlists now

Thanks!!

I'll add the rest in the not-too-distant future.

I've got some other PBR shows archived away as well. Follow The Train. Summer Connection. Heaven Is Hot Like The Tropics.

Yooooo heaven is hot, that's before my time LOL

DEERHUNTER 💙💙💙💙💙

Great show, DJ McSweden!

thank u!

NJ needs to be build an expressway to no where whose sole purpose is to facilitate driving very fast, with the windows down, and listening to McSweden's show.

yessss

I was literally just talking about that on DJ Breeze's show earlier hahah Turnpike exits 6 to 10 for just about is the perfect drive fast stretch.

Route 55 -> AC Expressway -> 7S Garden State Parkway baby.

@Labhras I see just four playlists of yours plus the PBRs that you added FYI

@Paul: perfect! I moved all the other seasonal / occasional playlists out of the profile to make things a bit easier to scroll & search.

Hi @DJ McSweden always love it when u play DC Berman. Loved that Deerhunter song earlier and those two Foyer Red songs earlier in the show. Good stuff

I don't think the world's wondering what I was listening to in the summer of 2014 anymore!

Fugit, 33, Keep Philly, Liked and Shared

thank you gautham!

I should audit my playlists and figure out what I want to make public. Some of the stuff is...niche. I've got a whole playlist of theremin cover songs, for example.

@Paul: Excellent. The Fugit, 33u, and Keep Philly Non Robotic are all playlists associated with my t-shirt side hustle. Liked & Shared is where _all_ my liked songs go. It's...pretty massive but some people seem to like opening it up & putting it on shuffle.

theremin cover songs❣️❣️❣️

THANK YOU MALCONTENT. Sometime I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

U do tshirts too?

I honestly luv to take crazy pills

SONIC YOUTH 💛💛💛

I did for a hot minute there. I've been meaning to reboot the biz but I've been stretched thin for a while now. The whole idea was hyper-local, limited run t-shirts. So, like, you would either (a) source a wacky water cooler story or (b) focused on a hyper-local cultural touchstone of some kind and then rapidly design & print a limited number of t-shirts associated with (a) or (b). Hence the name Fugit (as in "Tempus Fugit" / time flies).

how do i see playlists not in profile - sorry to bug you Labhras -

What is this, a society for ants?

I dig that, brah. If I had the resources I'd totally do the same but with WPRB chat quotes and memes

We did an Irish language shirt for Havertown (that played off the "33rd county of Ireland" ting they have going on) and a Hitchbot memorial t-shirt. Which I'm actually wearing in the chat avatar <-----.

wake me up when there's a bath boy tshirt

DUDE I've seen that hitchbot shirt before

I AM BATHBOY

So filthy

@Paul Good question! I'm not sure if you can? I'm still trying to grok how "public" playlists are related to Spotify profiles. I'm guessing you access public playlists with link but not see them in a public profile?

ting grok

Playlists on Spotify are def weird. Someone once sent me a playlist for a DJ mix he did and it was legit empty for no reason on my end

What's a Bathboy?

WTF 🤬

@Labhras cool. thanks for the PBRs

@TAndy You've seen the Hitchbot shirt? That's wild! You might have just seen me at a distance...

It's possible!

SPIRITUAL MAFIA ‘Bath Boy’ ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Experience the Bathboy on Wednesdays from 5pm to 11pm

@Paul No worries. I'll look over my other playlists and add them to my profile too. Just keep checking the public playlists in my profile and you should start seeing more.

🥶 💙

Should def explore adding WPRB chat quotes and memes to the design/production process for Fugit once it's rebooted.

Thanks for the ear candy, DJ McSweden!

DJ McSweden! Many thanks for another TopNotch Show! Job well done! Big cheers! Kind regards to you and yer Mutha! 🖤💀

thank you all for listening and chatting!

A+++ as always McSweden!

turn this song up

Great Soulful Sunday broadcast and happy mother's day!

one of my favorite songs ever

maybe even #1

Oh shit the time THABKS FOR THE SHOW DJ MCSWEDEN
