The Kids Just Don't Understand Wed Jun 7 with Commie Francis on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

hello hi!

T-H-U-R-S-DAY EVENING

Hi hello!

I'm going to call you "Little Rory Calhoun"! Heh long before Motel Hell that poster

Richard, I saw your comment about thinking about me when Mike L played "Tennessee Birdwalk". I missed both your comment and the song, sadly

OH NO YOU DIDNT

i decided i couldn't top Maggie!

😊

I love it!

Howdy! Came knocking for Jon but Commie Francis came to the door! What a nice surprise! Nadia says hello

🐦🐦🐦🐥

i say hello back to Nadia! i appreciate that you are still in your christmas costume

It's ALWAYS christmas at DJ Tenderloin's spot...

and good afternoon everyone

That Joe Tex track kicked butt! More funk for the wife and me please

hm i have some sort of funky things coming but no straight up funk planned, i will see what i can do

you do you! sounds good. i was just listening to some wire the other day. Map Reference! that song just makes me feel big

I was going to say that this must be Colin, but then I checked, and I own this album.

haha it sounds exactly like colin!

I liked that The Stools song!

very detroit-y!

yes! name your price too

Greetings from a Smokey Montgomery county

love NYC Tapwater - cheers Commie Francis! Nice Guy was pretty awesome too...

i was really intrigued by the philly water dept tap water bar they were going to have today at city hall! but they canceled it due to apocalypse

yeah it looks like a cheech n chong movie out there. is tomorrow any better?

Up in smoke?

according to hearsay they just extended the air quality warning to friday and it may last til saturday :(

crap! that blows. the weather minus the smoke is so nice too! arrrgggghhh

Bang! You're playing Melenas again! Gracias!!

BAM!

Ahora, tenemos un BAM/Bang

totally digging this - i see why you both - Rob and Commie - like it. Great show so far...

DJ Tenderloin, check out their earlier efforts!

melenas kinda triggered the summer of the eisbar at wprb last year was it? what is time

will do Rob from MD - it sounded just deliriously happy which is not a bad thing these days. cheers.

mike lupica got very excited when i brought this record in to test THE BARGE. right before the barge broke and was offline for weeks - coincidence?

Melenas' Osa Polar (Spanish for Eisbar) was released two years ago this month

Commie, are you referring to the Slickee Boys record, or the Primer Regimen record?

the slickee boys! wow. love them - grew up seeing them in DC. awesome

slickee boys

Yay Slickee Boys. I saw them at the Psyche Delly in Bethesda as well as later at the 930 Club

i think that pethie and i decided to do twin 1981 shows for membership drive in april 2021, i thought to play eisbar, then before we did i was in cherry hill and bam dan ruccia was playing eisbar, then we played it, then melenas put out a cover of it that everyone played then jon did evening of the ice bear and refuses to this day to pronounce eisbar correctly

yes at the Psyche Delly! Maybe Friendship Station too. so great live. i used to see kim kane all the time driving around in bethesda, kensington. he nearly joined the cramps!

ALSo my very first graveyard shift test show on wprb i played prisonshake's cover of eisbar

Yeah, what is up with Jon saying Eisbar all strangely?

yes i vaguely remember that whole eisbar thing - yes what is time?

DJ Tenderloin, if you haven't been there since the Friendship Station days, you will find Bethesda unrecognizable

I have been and yes - DC too - it's like they've been systematically replacing all of DC block by block. crazy

my buddy was at the opening of the atlantis - where the old 930 was - said it's pretty great

They are replacing the old DC block by block. I briefly considered entering the lottery for the new Atlantis club, but after looking at the bands I'd be lottery-ing for, said nah

Nice contrasts. Like meat and greens.

"Two Different Roads"

And the hits keep on comin'. I love Mike. I'm old and never missed an episode of the Monkees at the time.

Hey @Commie. It felt I needed to hear that Michael Nesmith to wake me up. Thanks a lot for playing that one.

From a meteorologist: https://twitter.com/ryans_wx/status/1666568827893690369

Several locations across NY and PA have measured at least 6 consecutive hours of >300 µg/m³ of PM2.5, with peak values approaching 500 µg/m³. Outrageous 6:12 PM

and https://twitter.com/ryans_wx/status/1666569916101607426 One of the hardest hit areas is the Allentown/Bethlehem, PA area, which has two monitors that are still sitting well above 400 µg/m³ @ssigafoos 6:16 PM · Jun 7, 2023

Closed my windows long ago.

Down here on the edge of DC we haven't had any windows open since Monday afternoon

Slickee Boys - guilty as charged, mam.

Yep, Vedo la Tua Faccia Nei Giorni di Pioggia = I see your face on rainy days

Arriving to class late, but I believe I am supposed to get a text alert every time the Slickee Boys get played on the radio.

Needles and Pins?

Commie is playing the Slicker Boys on the radio

You can borrow my pencil. Sign in.

i thought you were just supposed to KNOW

Blood & Chocolate - E. Costello

My Slickee Boy sensors are no longer covered by the warranty. Fortunately, I got the extended Circus Lupus plan.

Circus Lupus! Now that's a name from the past. I used to know Erika Casebolt years ago

Circus Lupus .. smokeable?

man i was gonna play some surprise las mordidas but i can't find it on youtube to preview it for cussing

Smoke has clogged the Internet tubes.

@DJTenderloin, I had a very nice chat with her around 30 years ago when her post Circus Lupus band (Antimony) played in Princeton.

As I recall, their music was very hard to dance to.

i listened to that antimony 7" a lot!

It's probably been that long since I saw her also. she was super sweet

first the stools, now the shitlickers....theme?

Meat and greens and browns.

ok my cat is going crazy

BLiNk it's a mouse musics.

Oh yeah - this song is my jam!

hell yeah Francis!

i love this song for real. tony orlando and dawn

i like it too! and candida!

Just waiting for the Carpenters, or Captain and Tenille

I used to watch the tony orlando variety hour

Bitchin' Camaro, Tony Orlando and Dawn

hahah that is maybe my favorite part of any dead milkmen song

well or if you don't have mojo nixon your store could use some fixin

Camaro.... -> Dead Milkmen?

Francis, yes

I think it is my favorite part too, Commie

LOL - saw them in the 80's? they were all tiny - like AC/DC tiny

When I saw Chumbawamba (in 1992 no less), they sure as heck didn't play Knock Three Times!

Why not?

i dunno if they played these songs any time but this time!

they put so much work into it! it's brilliant, i love them so much

Francis @7:16, beats me!

Chumbawamba were dynamite when I saw them. I have no recollection of what they played, other than they didn't play Knock Three Times

I suspect Jon will read this. His weekly show is terrific. But his annual holiday show has to lose Lindstrom and Jerry the Snail. Play them every third year. Just a suggestion.

GASP

i can understand where you are coming from, for sure! but i'm a sucker for traditions

something also tells me these are useful breaks for the boss to eat, hydrate. make doody.

Marcus, the people would revolt. Trust me on this!

but yes i do understand. though lindstrom is like a free ecstasy trip every christmas. hard to give that up! but yes, i do understand.

Jon should certainly play the story about the magician and the watches every year.

Yes, and play the Farfisa on ten.

I'm liking this song. Reminds me of that Dandy Warhols song

Jingle Rock Bell! see - the point is we all have those traditions we love

Bohemian like you

Traditions? That's a bone. Also smokeable.

I love Jingle Rock Bell. But it's short.

Real short.

the magician story is not short. nor is the fall set

i leave it all up to the boss - he always figures it out

Fall set. I like it.

Am I at my annual performance review? If so I would have worn a shirt with buttons on it.

exactly. you can't throw out some traditions and keep others - or maybe you can, i don't know. again - i leave it up to the boss

Just play the Farfisa.

Sorry I started this. I love the holiday show.

Jon, you get a good review. No buttons required.

We wanna hear Cilla Black, please!

I give you a giant thumb! up or down - your choice. but it's big!

Christmas in June.

Yes.

Either IT’S FOR YOU or THE LOVE OF THE LOVED

apparently there's a problem with how you pronounce eisbar, Jon. this will go into your permanent file unfortunately....

@Commie, speaking of The Fall, I nominate their "Jawbone and the Air Rifle" from Hex Enduction Hour for your "and" show

Hallelujah I here angels and bumblebees

I miss Mark E.

I know the feeling. I miss Coltrane.

Miss Coltrane too.

vanity 6! this is dope

def

Don't be sorry, Marcus! I enjoy hearing different perspectives, especially when they're not in all caps in my inbox.

that vanity 6 song sounded like it could've come out yesterday.

Thank you, Jon.

Thank you, Marcus.

Great show !

Commie. You can type on the Internet tubes?

Back to my vacation. Bye, everyone. Hope I can get home safely / swiftly and return to the radio next Wednesday!! 🤞

Ebony and Ivory!

have a great time jon also your show is always perfect

So long DJ Jon Solomon - safe travels!

Bye Jon!

Incense & Peppermints

Mekons have a song "Darkness and Doubt" on their "Fear and Whiskey" album

Hi Commie, it's a smelly day today with the intense smoke across the East Coast

And awesome enjoy of the vacation, Jon!

Bandages and Scars - Son Volt

Boats and Trains - Stornoway

Body and Soul - various - thinking Dexter Gordon

Have fun Jon. There are traditions and there are traditions. If you ever stopped playing The Sonics, The Wailers, and The Galaxies, I would die.

Gin and Juice

i hope everyone will give me an exceeds expectations today

Great show Commie Francis! laters -

thanks for listening and bye nadia!

Terrific show, Commie.

🌟🌟💫
