Pethie (host) 8:25:48 PM
one of my pre-teen heartthrobs
richard lyons:) 8:25:50 PM
Ahhhh Yeahhhhhhh
Ossy 8:26:06 PM
Pethie- Earlier, sweet Mother Of Pearl, which I think I heard that on Lizbot's show
Mattster of Reality 8:26:31 PM
LEIF! Our drug-ruined comrade
Ossy 8:26:44 PM
Matt Sabbath- Pethie played a song called Smelly Tongues, which you told me that before, LOOOOOOOL
Danosaur 8:27:13 PM
This is pretty edgy for Leif Garrett
Mattster of Reality 8:27:14 PM
Ossy: the Residents! Love that song 😂👅
richard lyons:) 8:27:53 PM
pretty faithful to the original
Pethie (host) 8:28:32 PM
@danosaur quite right.
Mike Abel 8:28:39 PM
Yeah. Bland.
Pethie (host) 8:28:51 PM
But so CUUUUUUUUTE
Pethie (host) 8:29:34 PM
Does this count as meta?
Ossy 8:29:42 PM
Sabbath- Like Smelly Cat from Friends sitcom by Pheobe and Lisa!!!
Danosaur 8:31:57 PM
Yes, playing Bryan Ferry during a Roxy Music cover set counts as meta in my book
richard lyons:) 8:32:29 PM
especially when the title is Re-Make/Re-Model
Danosaur 8:32:48 PM
Steel drums just make it seem like you're on vacation
Rob from Maryland 8:36:06 PM
Danosaur & richard lyons, you both speak the truth about Bryan Ferry
Pethie (host) 8:37:32 PM
Dad (Mike)--the next song you might get a kick out of...
Mattster of Reality 8:38:14 PM
Moom
Mike Abel 8:38:22 PM
Make
Mike Abel 8:38:29 PM
Up
Pethie (host) 8:38:35 PM
This one!
Mattster of Reality 8:39:03 PM
Tandy I joined Speedy Rewards at Speedway LOL
Mattster of Reality 8:39:44 PM
Discount moom juice
Danosaur 8:40:26 PM
This song is crazy!
Mike Abel 8:40:43 PM
Problem with covers is sometimes you want to hear the original righ after
Rob from Maryland 8:41:56 PM
Mike, I agree!
richard lyons:) 8:41:57 PM
Just the right crazy
Pethie (host) 8:42:30 PM
@Mike, I totally get that
Danosaur 8:42:46 PM
@richard agreed!
Ossy 8:42:46 PM
Chaka, Tell Me Something Good
Rob from Maryland 8:42:58 PM
This Rufus/Chaka cover is quite amazing and quite good
Danosaur 8:46:31 PM
It seems only fitting that a band called The Creatures would do a cover of Wild Thing
Danosaur 8:47:38 PM
I'd dance to this
Danosaur 8:48:46 PM
What am I saying?! I AM dancing to this!
Pethie (host) 8:48:53 PM
Right on! It's a disco classic, and this cover is nicely speedy compared to the original
Pethie (host) 8:49:09 PM
Me toooooo
Readie 8:49:17 PM
The Associates? This cover is stellar!
Pethie (host) 8:50:12 PM
Hey Readie!!!!
Mike Abel 8:50:46 PM
In it’s way, as nice as the Ross version
Readie 8:51:10 PM
Hey Pethie- really lovin' the show! Associates as MFSB? I'm on board...
Readie 8:51:43 PM
Those backing vox..yes, plese
Readie 8:51:49 PM
*please*
Pethie (host) 8:51:51 PM
@Mike, agreed, very different from the original
Pethie (host) 8:52:02 PM
Thank you so much, Readie!!
Danosaur 8:52:30 PM
It was a disco inferno over here
Pethie (host) 8:53:00 PM
@danosaur, thats the way we do it
Readie 8:53:01 PM
of course! killin' it, and then Tina's version of this has to be my fave...wooo!
Danosaur 8:53:16 PM
Ooh, one of my favorite songs!
Readie 8:54:17 PM
Of course, I love the Temptin' Temps' joint...AND this is fire!
richard lyons:) 8:54:58 PM
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
richard lyons:) 8:57:37 PM
Sooooo gooood!!!!
Mike Abel 8:58:35 PM
Excellent show tonight.
Chris Mohr 8:59:09 PM
Dead Milkmen covering Heaven 17 are the friends we made along the way
Pethie (host) 8:59:09 PM
@Mike, THANKS!
Pethie (host) 8:59:19 PM
@Chris you know it
Chris Mohr 9:05:40 PM
Gracious, this is probably my favorite TG song. What a bold cover to make
Chris Mohr 9:06:13 PM
Thanks for a revelatory and even astonishing show, DJ Pethie!
Mike Abel 9:06:15 PM
With all this I’m flashing back to Peaches an audiotapes
Pethie (host) 9:07:21 PM
@Chris, Mine too! And I love this cover. I cant wait to hear more from this tribute comp.
David Stafford 9:07:21 PM
B.E.F.”s These Boots Are Made For Walking. Haven’t heard that in decades
Pethie (host) 9:07:35 PM
@Mike aw yeah, you know it!
Pethie (host) 9:07:48 PM
@David oh yes, was that Paula Yates?
Danosaur 9:10:23 PM
This sounds like it could be Southern Culture on the Skids or even B 52s
Pethie (host) 9:10:49 PM
Too much pork for just one fork!
Maryellen Small 9:11:37 PM
With Banana Puddin’ for dessert.
Danosaur 9:12:10 PM
That's just the right amount
Danosaur 9:12:46 PM
Wow! Someone did a cover of this song?! Bold move.
Rob from Maryland 9:13:01 PM
Jello sings again?!
Pethie (host) 9:13:23 PM
Yes, I have three Jello tunes but i may save the third...
richard lyons:) 9:13:39 PM
bon of a sitch
Rob from Maryland 9:13:49 PM
Oooh what's the third? (I'll probably have headed off to sleep in an hour)
Chris Mohr 9:14:39 PM
My best friend growing up's family had the original Napoleon XIV 7" of "They're Coming to Take Me Away"
Pethie (host) 9:15:08 PM
@Rob "Viva Las Vegas"--DK
Danosaur 9:15:13 PM
There's always room for Jello
Danosaur 9:16:05 PM
@Chris Mohr that's a friend worth having
Rob from Maryland 9:16:49 PM
Pethie, of course! I remember finding out that Viva Las Vegas was not a DKs-penned song. I had never heard the original at all at that point.
richard lyons:) 9:17:24 PM
I agree Danosaur, always room for jello 🤣
Gautham Kalva 9:17:52 PM
Great show/s Pethie. Was wondering if you or anybody in the chat were aware of any covers of David Berman(Silver Jews/purple mountains) or Townes Van Zandt?
Pethie (host) 9:18:54 PM
@Gautham not me, I'm not all that familiar with either artist.
Rob from Maryland 9:21:37 PM
Gautham, Emmylou Harris did a killer version of Van Zandt's "Pancho and Lefty" in the 70s. It is still one of my most favorite songs
Rob from Maryland 9:23:07 PM
It's on her "Luxury Liner" album from 1976
richard lyons:) 9:23:12 PM
oooo, thanks for the reminder!
Chris Mohr 9:24:10 PM
Ah, I was wondering if you'd play an Eno cover after the Roxy set. Another favorite, and such an interesting take on it
Commie Francis ☭ 9:24:29 PM
Fantastical show!
Pethie (host) 9:24:48 PM
HIya Commie!!
Commie Francis ☭ 9:24:56 PM
I wish collate would hurry up and record/release their cover of Mr vain
Commie Francis ☭ 9:25:12 PM
Hi pethie!
richard lyons:) 9:25:44 PM
Fantastical, indeed!!!!!!
Chris Mohr 9:26:40 PM
Another TG top hit!
Commie Francis ☭ 9:26:51 PM
There's a minor tradition of post punk bands covering really bass heavy eurodance songs
Commie Francis ☭ 9:27:16 PM
Omg i love this
David Stafford 9:27:52 PM
Seconded
Pethie (host) 9:28:12 PM
MOLOKO
Pethie (host) 9:28:19 PM
I adore 'em
richard lyons:) 9:28:29 PM
thirded :D
Readie 9:29:22 PM

Patty Readie ✊🏾🔥🌟💖
Readie 9:32:13 PM
Hey Ossy! Smooooth as always!
Readie 9:33:21 PM
Hello Commie, et alia- you beautiful people!
Commie Francis ☭ 9:33:51 PM
Your voice sounds cool!!!!
Maryellen Small 9:36:28 PM
What you are needing is a lozenge, perhaps a coffee flavoured one.
Pethie (host) 9:37:12 PM
You ARE a lozenge
Chris Mohr 9:37:57 PM
The guilty pleasure of this show is hearing so many old WPRB favorites, but it's socially acceptable because they are cool covers and not heard very often
Pethie (host) 9:39:05 PM
I'm all about the guilty pleasures
Commie Francis ☭ 9:40:25 PM
Steel drum Kraftwerk!! I don't believe in guilty pleasures
Chris Mohr 9:40:40 PM
Snakefinger!🐍👈
Pethie (host) 9:40:42 PM
THat's kinda what I meant.
Pethie (host) 9:40:54 PM
NO need to feel guilty!
Chris Mohr 9:41:29 PM
Freeform radio in all its thematic-show glory!
Richard Lyons (1) 9:42:27 PM
DOG bless WPRB
Pethie (host) 9:43:17 PM
Yaaaaaas
TAndy 9:43:44 PM
YES
Chris Mohr 9:44:08 PM
Listening to Kraftwerk's "Pocket Calculator "on my GE clock radio as a first-year high school student was a big part of what got me hooked on WPRB in the early 80s, so this set is just delightful
Commie Francis ☭ 9:44:15 PM
Disco reggae!!
Pethie (host) 9:44:45 PM
I love that, Chris! I started listening around 1981!
TAndy 9:45:02 PM
Kraftwerk and Dub go together like me and a Wawa brownie
Ossy 9:45:21 PM
As well the last song and this playing, thats lovely, Pethie
Pethie (host) 9:45:37 PM
I've never had a WaWa brownie!
TAndy 9:45:46 PM
It's good
Chris Mohr 9:45:53 PM
Awesome, Pethie! Similar timing for me. Fall 1980, I believe.
TAndy 9:46:17 PM
I prefer the 7 Eleven Brookie but those are hard to come by
Ossy 9:47:03 PM
Some friend of mine made brownies with jelly.
TAndy 9:51:40 PM
Cool.
Ossy 9:52:11 PM
Brownies with gummies
Pethie (host) 9:52:26 PM
That was Commie Francis!! Singing with The Dissidents, her band!
Ossy 9:52:41 PM
WOW
Ossy 9:53:16 PM
And Smokey Robinson's Second That
richard lyons:) 9:53:41 PM
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Dissidents!!!!!
Danosaur 9:53:43 PM
It makes sense that Commie Francis would be in a band called The Dissidents
Commie Francis ☭ 9:53:45 PM
Dreamy to have johnny hallyday as a lead in
Commie Francis ☭ 9:54:07 PM
Maybe we should tour with him
Ossy 9:54:19 PM
Like finding out Pax is in some band
Danosaur 9:54:21 PM
Johnny Hallyday sounds like the French Tom Jones
Commie Francis ☭ 9:55:07 PM
Thank you for playing us pethie!
Pethie (host) 9:55:27 PM
My pleasure! You people are fantastic
Commie Francis ☭ 9:55:44 PM
Too bad you can't play das kaltes eis
TAndy 9:55:50 PM
So tonight I learned that Commie is in a kick-ass band
richard lyons:) 9:56:22 PM
Pethie - second!
Danosaur 9:56:32 PM
This Bryan Ferry cover of It's My Party is really good
Ossy 9:57:01 PM
Third me, and 2nd person from wprb I know that's in a band, after Pax
Commie Francis ☭ 9:58:19 PM
That was a cover of rudimentary peni btw
Commie Francis ☭ 9:59:04 PM
Wilbo is (was?) in a band!
Commie Francis ☭ 9:59:19 PM
And sometime dj shaggy
richard lyons:) 9:59:28 PM
yep!
Commie Francis ☭ 10:00:09 PM
Casey too I think but I actually have no idea what band. But I know he's a musician cause I bought an amp from him
Ossy 10:00:11 PM
Commie - Awesome!
TAndy 10:00:24 PM
Wilbo was in a band called Ui (pronounced Oo-we)
Ossy 10:00:33 PM
Not a band, but Selecta Jerry used to dj at Rowan
Commie Francis ☭ 10:01:10 PM
Shaggy was in the swingin neck breakers I believe. I think shaggy is what he went by on the radio
Ossy 10:01:11 PM
Next up to hear in a band, Rosasolis? Flex and Ahab? LOL
Maryellen Small 10:01:14 PM
Oooooooo, thanking you I am.
TAndy 10:01:54 PM
A good number of PRB DJs used to DJ at other sites. DTO used to broadcast at WXPN way back in the age of wood paneling and oil embargos (I think)
TAndy 10:02:07 PM
He's going to come into chat and chew me out just watch.
Commie Francis ☭ 10:02:48 PM
Abbie from Mars obvs
Commie Francis ☭ 10:03:17 PM
Also that guy on Tuesday nights, what is he called
TAndy 10:03:21 PM
Still sad that I missed her time at PRB. Late to the party as usual
Commie Francis ☭ 10:03:22 PM
Oh yeah sting
Commie Francis ☭ 10:04:30 PM
Maria t is a great musician
Pethie (host) 10:04:45 PM
Yer welcome, Mommy
Mike Abel 10:04:51 PM
Hi, Mary. Yes, thanks, Peth, for Fanny.
Pethie (host) 10:05:33 PM
Yer welcome, Daddy
Pethie (host) 10:05:52 PM
There's a documentary out on Fanny!
Ossy 10:06:12 PM
I keep thinking of Jamaican reggae singer, Shaggy lol
Commie Francis ☭ 10:06:39 PM
I think it's meant as shaggy from Scooby doo
TAndy 10:06:42 PM
Oh yeah, Mike Hunter also performs music as Ombient.
TAndy 10:07:00 PM
ZOINLS
Commie Francis ☭ 10:07:06 PM
Although shaggy did do a duet with..... fellow wprb dj Sting!
Maryellen Small 10:07:11 PM
Hello Michael, she’s some swell kiddo, yes. I have a note to myself about that documentary.
Commie Francis ☭ 10:07:47 PM
I've been wanting to see that fanny documentary!
Pethie (host) 10:09:11 PM
Me too!
Rob from Maryland 10:09:22 PM
This has been a fantastic show, Pethie! Unfortunately it's zzzz time, I sadly must leave. Good night everyone!
Pethie (host) 10:09:28 PM
Oh, the spider is back, but he's adjacent to the mic
Pethie (host) 10:09:40 PM
g'night Rob, thank you for listening!
Commie Francis ☭ 10:11:22 PM
Night rob!
Commie Francis ☭ 10:11:35 PM
Let the spider speak!!!!
richard lyons:) 10:14:01 PM
Soundtrack of the night! Thank you PETHIE!!!!!!!!
Pethie (host) 10:14:24 PM
thanks for tuning in, richard!
Chris Mohr 10:14:29 PM
What Rob said -- time for 💤. Thanks for a great show!
Pethie (host) 10:14:49 PM
Thank you so much, Chris
Ossy 10:15:32 PM
Should've realized, Chaka! Still rocking her big natural hair of power!
Chris Mohr 10:17:00 PM
Oh wait, just one more Eno cover, what harm could that be
Pethie (host) 10:17:10 PM
I was gonna say just that, Chris!
Pethie (host) 10:17:44 PM
An Eno lullaby via Ultravox!
Chris Mohr 10:18:22 PM
It will surely be that
Commie Francis ☭ 10:24:05 PM
This mortal coil covering modern English is the sound that a LOT of bands are going for these days!
Pethie (host) 10:25:27 PM
I was so in love with this song when it came out and i still love it alot
Danosaur 10:25:32 PM
The spider is now your co-host
Pethie (host) 10:25:48 PM
I blame the spider for every technical glitch you all heard tonight
Danosaur 10:26:16 PM
It's The Pethie and the Spider Evening Zoo show
Commie Francis ☭ 10:26:38 PM
Do you have any covers of spider & i?
Pethie (host) 10:27:05 PM
oooh, i should do some research
Danosaur 10:27:22 PM
You'd think with all those legs that spiders would be better at pressing all the buttons but no
Chris Mohr 10:28:23 PM
Or "Boris the Spider"? Not Eno, but still...
Maryellen Small 10:31:54 PM
You can’t beat fun.
Pethie (host) 10:32:27 PM
So true.
Danosaur 10:33:24 PM
I think we were all a lot peppier in 1982
Danosaur 10:34:27 PM
I like this spacey version of Down By The River
Danosaur 10:34:59 PM
I too am a fan of fun
Pethie (host) 10:35:23 PM
Fun is where it's at
Pethie (host) 10:35:45 PM
I also enjoy delirium
Danosaur 10:36:25 PM
Delirium is underrated
Pethie (host) 10:36:59 PM
For real.
Danosaur 10:40:29 PM
This song rocks
Pethie (host) 10:41:53 PM
its a rollicking version indeed
Pethie (host) 10:42:20 PM
gotta play this classic
Danosaur 10:43:04 PM
Flying Lizards are the best. So deadpan
Danosaur 10:43:30 PM
She really sounds like she's gonna raise a fuss
Pethie (host) 10:44:06 PM
This whole album is so fine.
Danosaur 10:44:56 PM
If Wednesday Addams was in a band it would be The Flying Lizards
Pethie (host) 10:46:52 PM
Lurch is on maracas
Danosaur 10:47:29 PM
Thing on cowbell
Danosaur 10:48:21 PM
I'm not a big Cher fan but that was really good
richard lyons:) 10:48:35 PM
this Extravaganza is on my '2023 Best of WPRB'
Danosaur 10:49:36 PM
@richard I agree. It will go down in history
richard lyons:) 10:49:48 PM
well played PETHIE 🔊🎶🤍🔥
Pethie (host) 10:50:17 PM
awww, richard, thank you!!
Danosaur 10:50:42 PM
Don't forget the spider!
Pethie (host) 10:50:56 PM
And thank you also, Danosaur. And yes, thank you spider.
Danosaur 10:51:42 PM
It's gettin' steamy up in here with this song
Pethie (host) 10:53:16 PM
D'angelo seems to have that effect as a rule.
Pethie (host) 10:53:31 PM
He's no Green Gartside, but he will do in a pinch
Ossy 10:54:07 PM
Was about to say D'Angelo!
Danosaur 10:55:35 PM
Ooh, this is swingin'!
Pethie (host) 10:56:18 PM
It's my wake up song.
Danosaur 10:56:19 PM
Feel like doin' the Lindey Hop
Danosaur 10:58:58 PM
Such a fun show. Thanks for putting all this music together. It was a hoot!
Mattster of Reality 10:59:06 PM
Holy chit, Lard !!
Maryellen Small 10:59:18 PM
What a fantastic show !!!!!
Pethie (host) 10:59:31 PM
Thank you to everyone for tuning in, it was lots of fun!
Mattster of Reality 10:59:37 PM
Helluva show, Peth
Pethie (host) 10:59:44 PM
