The Freeform Pathogen Wed May 31 with Dan Ruccia on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?

😶‍🌫️

Hello hello

Hey TAndy and Mary!

Hello Dan! I’m digging this track.

As am I. Wednesday night shift readiness and such blah blah I'll be listening anyway!

Hey, DJ DanRuccia!

Hiya MrM!

THE SMASHING PUMPKINS 🎃🧡🎃 I recently purchased that album!?!

And they’re on tour!

Jon sent me an absolutely amazing reaction to their new album that I may have to type in here when I get a minute

"The album is unlistenable. I tried. I really did. He's wasting the best living drummer on the planet right now with this bedroom pop drum sampler bullshit. Deleted from my library forever and I suggest everyone do the same. Also, like what you like. That's what's great about music."

ErrMahGawd. L0LZ

WOW

There are people that think the music we listen to (Rn?!) and covet is totes bullshit and I heart that so much 😻

I know, right! I'd say they don't know what they're missing, but that wouldn't be in the spirit of "unlistenable but you do you"

The last lines are my favorite part!!

Really good drive soundtrack getting home..:

Art is subjective. Somehow there is little that is more insane than arguing about what is Good Music. I appreciated knowing about the “bedroom pop drum sampler” bit tho yo. 🤑🤠

CINDY WILSON❣️⁉️⁉️

What is the internet for if not complaining that someone is wasting the best living drummer on the planet on bedroom pop drum sampler bullshit, though?

Haha darn internet!

I forget where the "but someone is wrong on the internet" comic is from. I feel like it's XKCD, but I might be making that up

Hello not Mike Lupica!

Hey Bo!

That’s definitely XKCD

Mr. M. is correct about art. Also David Thomas is coming to NYC soon, with Wayne Kramer in the band. Also Faust.

I’ve had it sent to me more than once

DURAN DURAN ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 fight me

Greetings and Salutations, Everyone!

Hello Dan Ruccia!🤗

That will be one hell of a show, Marcus!

Mr.M💀!👈

Only your ear. Could be worse.

Evening Dan

Sounded good in my car, sounds good on my phone on the couch.

Does your mixer have a MORE COWBELL knob???

Thanks, Jon

Hey Ossy and jimboo!

Yes Dan u were correct https://xkcd.com/386/

I'm trying to place where the guitar lick from this Fucked Up song comes from. I can hear it, but I can't pull out the name

That's fucked up, man.

It's something from the 80s, I think?

This album rips! Sad to hear about Neil's recent troubles. Howdy Dan

I had to briefly turn the show off so someone [not naming names] could finish her homework so I'm guessing "Where The Streets Have No Name" by U2.

Hey DSM! Yeah, it's super sad. I hope he can get the help he needs

I probably missed the announcement, but is this your new time slot for the summer or just a one off fillz in?

Homework? At the end of May??? What kind of school does [redacted] go to???

School is done on Friday!

Just filling in for the week, DSM. Sadly not reprising my regular after Jon show from way back when

This was the last of the last of it, I believe.

::eye roll emoji::

This station ID goes out to that Smashing Pumpkins reviewer

Don't trust music!

Fireplaces!

Oh my god this piece again I love this

I love the horn that sounds like a [redacted]

It's actually Braxton's other bonkers contrabass clarinet standard. There's also a version of Ornithology which I played a couple months ago. It's so gloriously sillly

Hi Dan, where can I hear/read that fireplaces station ID? Whose voice was that?

Aw man I missed a special new ID

Gautham, it's from a random sampler comp I got at some point. Let me see if I can track it down...

Found it! The speaker is Brain Belott from his album Sound Scribbles

Great, thanks for that super quick response..

It was thankfully in one of the like 3 places in my house it could have been hiding. The starlite louge this place ain't

And I had a phone call… where’s the rewind button ⏪⁉️

Rewind to the toot clarinet

That aint no way to have fun, like Mamma told me not to come?

I missed seeing MarcusWatt comment and deleted my message which just makes the MarcusWatt comment extra funny/awkward.

TAndy! 🦆💨

DJ Pethie❣️on the summer schedule‼️

Googling lyrics, I think the song I'm thinking about is Three Dog Night's "Mamma Told Me" which is, I think, a song I heard a bunch on classic rock radio as a kid and never knew what it was called.

yo that's whut I said tho dawg

Looks like it’s gonna be HawtHogSummer at WPRB! Three shows?!? Go Go Go, DJ Hog!

Was it DSM? Shoot

Shows how much/little I remember about that song other than that one line and the one lick

this set is fun timez rN Af! Cheers, DJ DanRuccia!

New sched posted MrM? BrB while I check that hawt hog out!

Hurry! Count the HOGS!

There are 30 to 50 wild feral ones on the schedule

Ctr-F "Hog"

Ahahahaha

Hogs galore!

Is crispy cookie a new DJ?

Too bad I already played Pigs x7 this week

I think so, DSM?

and the MEEP show too Say WHUT

California?! Yuck

What is this guy on about, anydangway ?!?

I love this Paul Duffy guy. Thanks @ Dan

I think he's recounting the plot of the gritty remake of the Sponge Bob Square Pants?

Has anyone else watched both versions of Candy/Love & Death? Curious which one people thought was better

I’m not familiar

MrM, recent shows about the same thing that somehow got made at the same time, kinda bonkers that two versions came out so close to one another

Ohh. Candy? Jessica Biel??

That's the one alright! Or one of the two ones, I guess I should say.

Oh interesting. What's the premise?

Basically a "good church going housewife & mother" has an affair with her friends husband and then murders the friend

Elizabeth Olsen plays the lead in the other version.

A good pair of leads!

Will have to check one/both out

The story isn't really any crazier than a typical Dateline, but interesting to see the two versions and how they decide to tackle it. I vote Jessica Biel version

I thought Jessica Biel was creepy and super! I heart Melanie Lynskey! Need to finish it. Merp. I’ll watch the second one too! Woot!

Candy on Hulus. Where’s the other??

I think it was HBO?

Not helpful?

semi helpful, giving a good place to start the hunt

Ha! Good luck to us!

www.google.com

Some Damned Dan? R.I.P. Algy Ward.

I see what you did Mr.M💀!

Haha snort L0LZ haha

Dan, my wife and I enjoyed your show a lot. We will try to listen at your normal time, but that is not a good time for either one of us.

I saw this band at the Black Cat!

...loved 'em!

Thanks, Rob! Yeah, workdays can be rough for the radio-ing

Thanks Dan for the Damned!

Happy to, Bo!

*I'm continuing to send virtual hugs to the MikeLupica FamBam 💞*

Appreciate the nice nighttime show, DJ DanRuccia!

Thanks, MrM! I'm always happy when I get the opportunity to come out at night

Dig this Tacoma Park
