Greetings and Salutations!

Oy! Up Malcontent!

Hello, DJ MikeLupica!

ew, raspberry 😜

DON'T DISRESPECT THE HOUSE DRESSING, COLIN

(AKA: Cassiancassafire) Checking in to the Daytime Pit crew...Hi Mike!

Howdy Alan!

@ Mike: Well... It looks like you've got me beat again, I just got my Shingles Shot #2 yesterday, and was Fiiine yesterday, today Eccchhhh!!!!

SHINGLES DOESNT CARE

Well done! I've still gotta get jab #2. Hopefully next week after I get back from NFCB and can afford to feel like ass for three days.

....My head felt like that Peter Gabriel youtube "Sledge Hammer" this morning...

I swear by the flu shot. I guess you got that too, right DJ MikeLupica??

Aye. All the shotzes.

@Mike: My friend who in into the Biology thing said that what is going around now (Upper Respiratory) is a virus that came from babies, has the name NVH or something......

liked that alicja popo song

Yeah, those daycare viruses are the worst.

@Mike: Sorry to hear, Thanks for showing Up!!!!

Colin, me too! They're new to me, but has some shared history with the Memphis/Goner/Lost Sounds crowd.

Too bad you got this extra bonkers virus! Get healthy fast, DJ MikeLupica!

i had to manually add it to my list like a privative because shazam was like nope.

27 Various = Music to get rid of a Headache by...Great Track!!

Good afternoon all. My #1 shingles jab prompted me to take a long mid-day nap the day after (which was a Saturday, fortunately). My #2 shingles jab was like oh yeah my arm is sore

@Alan, of so YOU'RE the other person on earth who still remembers this band!

@Rob, I hope my fortunes follow yours.

Hi Rob!!! Welcome! We all are continuing Mike's PSA a few weeks back about getting the shingles shot...Glad you're IN!!

Another fine Wednesday. Hello Mike and Pit Crew! I liked that Squid song quite a bit.

Welcome, Richard. Good to see the Wednesday Night Pitcrew out working off their vampire tans here today.

Vampire Tans Ha! :))) Good one!

Finally some sun here in Northwest Oregon

@ richard: Sooo glad to hear!

Thanks. I love MX-80 Sound, especially Out of the Tunnel.

@Marcus, I *always* forget how much I like these guys. Then every five years I remember again.

MUDHONEY❣️

Fiery start to the show!!🔥🔥

Oh man this Mudhoney tape stayed in my cars tape player for almost a year, along w/ Bleach on the flipside

True Pit Crew stuff!

Mudhoney -- music to extract phlegm from one's chest to.

2023 Mudhoney delivering the same energy as 1989 Mudhoney? I think yes!

I was thinking Mudhoney is an original decongestant

40 years? They must be takin' Vitamins...

vitamin R! (r stands for rock-n-roll for those who need clues)

Lots of Vita. R this show, also works for headaches...

Crazy people indeed! look at the size of those cars!! 14 Kw can sure cook a lot of Hot Dogs...

Is the tower a bit north by the airport in Hopewell?

Nah, on Route 1 out behind Quakerbridge Mall.

Mike: Can't tell you how many times I've taken a small FM radio outside to listen, or even inside on my rig(s) Good Sigs here in Doylestown Pa. Thanks!

Mike, me too! (#2 jab affecting you less). And fwiw DC is actually getting real rain right now. We haven't gotten any real rain in 3 weeks

damn, today of all days

This Satan's guitar...Get your surfboard..

Guud Stuffs 🎶🎵

Special show planned for today, Cap'n?

Hi, DJ Captain Ahab!

yiz, sun worship

Hi everybody, Mr. M

The Donner Party track put my brain right. hat tip to all you Godlike Porpoise Heads.

@Cap'n. Aye, drat. Just make like it isn't happening and demand that folks use their imaginations.

Sunniest happiest doom rock show this side of the mississippi coming at 3pm!

@Andrew, nice reference!

Howdy Captain😊

Hey, all. Mike, do you have any sense of when the long-awaited transmitter work will wrap up today?

ErrMahGawd

PAT SMEAR ♥️

Jon, I've heard "mid afternoon", so probably sometime during Captain Ahab's show.

Aww, TERESA NERVOSA 💔❤️

Indeed, MrM. Long time coming, so not really a surprise but still, sad to see. Amazing legacy.

Thanks, Mike. I have two different header images ready.

nothing says summer fun like a bootleg Psychedelic Jam!

Psychedelic Butthole Jam!

The album cover of this Buttholes record still haunts my brain.

when you eat too many muschrooms

BUTTHOLE SURFERS❣️

just looked up the cover art.... yikes! (and i've seen that guy at shows recently)

I remember reading a fanzine review of a Butthole Surfers gig in like 1987 written by a guy who'd been at the show tripping balls on 'shrooms and even THAT gave me nightmares.

That’s HIGHlarious

Theme from Satan's breakfast

If Pell Mell won't make any more records I guess I'll have to do it.

PROTECT THE TOWER

Power to da Tower..

MrMalcontent Doesn’t CARE! I can hear the show just fine.

ZUT ALORS!

......but I am sooo spoiled to be in range of that FM sig....Lessee 3 radios?? + one very old Marantz receiver...

LOL - I bought Live PCP pep in 84 by the Surfers when it came out. I was in my room on a dark summer afternoon, and hard to turn on the lights as it freaked my out - completely sober. I couldn't even tell what speed the record was supposed to be

@Francis, indeed -- it is a tale as old as time!

Fun 45s!

This swings daddy O

It's the in sound from way out!

nice jazz scatt

...Reminds me, I gotta dig up some real old records I have, made of bakelite..Heavy stuff literally...

Ooo...nice Alan!

Handle with care, AlanPasnyk! Can be brittle af Rn

@richard: But it requires Excavation of ...Stuff!!!!

This is some of my favorite fuzz guitar ever.

I want all these swell 45s! 😩🤩😎

This SONG Rn aF!!

Morris Day has summoned me

LOL

He has that effect, doesn't he.

Dunno if Jon's still here, but pretty sure he was in attendance for Morris Day's performance at ... Mercer County Park last summer.

"Me and Silent Bob modeled our whole f**king lives around Morris Day and Jerome"

#truth

I'm back and I still can't believe you didn't go to that show. Shout out to Morris Day's "Mirror Man."

Although I can't remember it right now, I think I had a reasonably good excuse at the time. (Surgery, ritual sacrifice, something like that...)

Haha:)

I was busy that day

Dr Who Hop

Woah

SIOUXSIE SIOUX ❤️‍🔥

Aye.

Now I definitely want to hear the entire MikeLupica 45s Collection❣️

That would take... some time.

my heart beats and there’s time

Do I remember this one? Not sayin' :)

9/16 Chat Pile - Underground Arts

Readie & Tandy had that virus

My Bio expert compadre says "Baby virus" new stuff

Covid Doesn’t CARE

LOL Alan

Babies don’t CARE

Final Sixty Mins?! I’m already cry 😭

L'Rain, new stuff up and comin' ????

some punk album ive been listening to opens with the scene

@Alan, just a new single right now, as far as I can tell.

@ Mike: Possibilities all good me thinks...

Oh my Gawd. Now I gotta hear the MikeLupica Soundtrack Collection!

Thank you! Thank you ! Such a rare play - classic Spearhead - Luv It !!

Right on, Walt! I forgot how many edits this song requires. Good thing we're internet only today, or else the G-Men would be after me.

Are my memory banks faulty, or was Michael Franti a member of the Disposable Heroes of Hiphopricy?

PUBLIC IMAGE LTD❣️

Yes, that's when I first discovered MF - w/ Disposable Heroes (opening for Billy Bragg at Chestnut Cabaret in early 90s).

that was intro to MF as well (disposable heros)

Nice! He was also in the Beatnigs! (Their song "Burritos" was a big PRB hit ~1990 or so.)

DJ StitchingPink, next week! Nice!

UNREST!!!!!!

Oh, UNREST am I familiar??? I heard “UNWOUND” merp derp

Did I say Unwound? Yeesh, must be time for more meds.

That’s what I heard. Must be time for less meds.

That was very enjoyable!

I like this veery muuch

Today is the anniversary of the following joke I made about this Faust record:

"I can only hope that Faust’s new full-length “Fresh Air” leads directly to a Popol Vuh disc titled "Morning Edition.""

CAN: "PLANET MONEY"

Amon Düül "Car Talk"

the ANNIVERSARY of a JOKE! that has me sayin: Father, Son, House of Gucci! It’s the one week anniversary of my joke too!

Let us celebrate this every Wednesday, Mr.M.

Amen 🙏

FM!!!!

Are we back on?

Thanks Mike

Yeah Radiooooooos!!!

Prayers to Gucci worked?!?

Y>>>E>>>SSSSS

CAPTAIN AHAB? SANTA CLAUS IS ON THE PHONE FOR YOU.

Final Five Mins?!? How tho yo!?!

FM is back on but it keeps playing the NJ 1015 jingle overtop of Faust?

Translation: yes you are on the airwaves~~~~~~

DJ MikeLupica! Great show! Appreciate the dedication! Get healthy! Safe, fun travels! Many thanks and big cheers and kind regards to you!

LOL DSM

BathBoy!

Thank You Mike for toughin' it today. Good Luck getting rid of the RSV Virus!

Did Faust read Proust? Vice versa?

Q: Does RSV make you P?

Ahaha! Cheers! @DJ MikeLupica!

Cheers to all the Dears, especially those with Big Ears!
