Hiya friends! Happy Monday

Hey Dan! And good morning all. In case you haven't yet noticed, WPRB's FM signal is off the air this morning for scheduled tower work at our broadcast site. We expect to come back on sometime this afternoon. Regular programming continues on our webstreams, so point your device at listen.wprb.com or wprb.com/chat to stay on top of things!

The good news is that we are more than halfway through the tower work, so I expect a few more days of intermittent outages and then we'll be back at ya 24/7 on the Frequency Modulation tip.

Thanks for the update, Mike! Can't wait for this work to be done so we can get back to our regular modulations

Aye, completely agree!

Good morning Dan and Mike. I'm so happy to hear Scrawl right now!

Hi Rob! Gotta represent the Columbus rock!

I think that's the only Scrawl record I've never listened to and that song was so good, I now feel like this has been a grave mistake on my part.

F-systems is my jam! Thank you for playing my jam

There's a great video of them playing on public access tv

Happy to, Commie! A friend played their music during the preshow for a screening of the Argento film their collection is named after, so I had to play them here. Definitely need to listen to more of it!

Hello everyone. A happy Monday morning to all!

Anyone else watch the PiL "The Public Image is Rotten" doc? It's on YouTube now -- watched it a couple weeks ago when I was sick and thought it was great.

The Elektra Scrawl records are their best

Update: My daughter just clarified that the mail I have is in Animal Crossing, not in the physical world

Travel On Rider = very good and Mike I can rip you a copy (plus the radio-only EP that has a Ted Nugent medley and some other exclusive stuff on it).

To be clear where I stand: Ted Nugent sucks as much as Scrawl rules.

If you're curious to learn more about Maceda, here's a great article in Bomb: https://bombmagazine.org/articles/everywhere-at-once-jos%C3%A9-macedas-musical-territory/

Very cool piece of music! It's interesting that you mentioned Terry Riley, since that was my first though on hearing it.

*thought*

Yeah, it totally feels like some alternate version of minimalism that none of the American guys would have come up with. All of Maceda's music that I've heard has that vibe

I'll definitely dig into more of it

Thanks for tuning in, everyone!
