Jen!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:01:43 PM
Jon, we are here!
Colin 3:02:37 PM
Running Redlights is like the soft opening for the weekend. Mad dash to the finish line
Jen Redlights (host) 3:03:24 PM
hahaha that's me ushering us all along - go go go!
Colin 3:04:39 PM
I just topped off my water container and started the project that'll keep at my desk and take to quitting time
Colin 3:05:52 PM
although it is only friday-ish for me gotta work 10-2 tomorrow.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:06:37 PM
well I'm glad you're here today! Perhaps we can give you some energy to power through the half day tomorrow.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:06:47 PM
you'll need sustenance
Colin 3:07:49 PM
This terry gross is pretty dang meaty
Jen Redlights (host) 3:08:24 PM
I'm normally not a "jams" person but make an exception for this
Parrscream 3:10:11 PM
Hey Jen!
fr1dayafternoon 3:10:27 PM
I probably wouldn’t hide my taste for jam bands as much if more of them sounded like Terry Gross
Parrscream 3:10:29 PM
Love the start to the show! This song is so good.
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:10:40 PM
This just kicked into hyperspace.
fr1dayafternoon 3:11:26 PM
Their last album with the pink cover is pretty awesome. And I think I found it via. your show, Jon.
Parrscream 3:11:54 PM
Same here fr1day! I was just gonna tell Jon that I got that album because I heard it on his show.
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:13:03 PM
I'm pretty sure I first heard them on RRL!
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:13:29 PM
Not sure if you saw, but the Soulside / Scream show in Portland, Oregon was cancelled because of a threat against the venue. Ugh.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:13:36 PM
hi guys! I'm glad everyone is loving the Terry Gross stuff! So good.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:13:51 PM
Oh wtf...I saw it was canceled but didn't know why. UGHHHHH.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:14:15 PM
I'm sorry for Portland but hope they get a redo one day!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:20:23 PM
so what did everyone get up to for halloween?
Parrscream 3:21:03 PM
That Pegboy song took me back! Wow!
Travis in Pledgarado 3:21:53 PM
Happy First Friday! Where did you say you saw the Witchfingers? I just saw them in Philly and Connecticut end of September.
fr1dayafternoon 3:21:59 PM
I figured out that Twix and Reese’s in the same bite is an outstanding combination.
Parrscream 3:22:01 PM
We took the kids around the neighborhood for some trick-or-treatin' with a bunch of their friends and their friends' parents.
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:22:04 PM
Pegboy are playing in Philly soon-ish. I'm as surprised as you!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:22:22 PM
say WHAT??
Colin 3:22:43 PM
the actual night of halloween I put on my blinky halloween pin and had wprb dance party at chez moi. the saturday before there was small party I attended. woods and camp fire were included.
Travis in Pledgarado 3:22:54 PM
KEXP just released a recent studio performance of frankie and witchfingers today on youtube
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:23:12 PM
Wait, Pegboy is playing Philadelphia TONIGHT!
Parrscream 3:23:13 PM
Holy moly Jon... it is tomorrow!

Jen Redlights (host) 3:23:14 PM
hello @travis! I saw them at Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco. It was nuts - day 1 of their Psychfest. Did you love them?
Jen Redlights (host) 3:23:30 PM
@fr1day ha! combo moves, nice!
Travis in Pledgarado 3:23:36 PM
Wooded campfire parties are the best in the Fall!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:23:47 PM
@travis that is a HOT TIP, thanks!
richard lyons:) 3:23:53 PM
about the Soulside / Scream show. It really stinks. The same thing happened to Mississippi Studios to a Flogging Molly show recently. Also Mississippi Records was attacked with a molotov cocktail not long ago. (different owners)
Travis in Pledgarado 3:24:46 PM
Love frankie and the witchfingers. I saw them in Albuquerque last year too. Unfortunately, I was out of town when they just played here in Denver last month
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:24:52 PM
Richard, I didn't make that connection. Ugh.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:25:13 PM
I think I'm missing the memo on why the show was shut down. Sounds like something i'm going to be pissed about.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:25:39 PM
@travis YESSSS it's pretty much required attendance whenever any of us can make it!
richard lyons:) 3:26:35 PM
bomb threats
Jen Redlights (host) 3:27:06 PM
what the holy hell is wrong with people
Jen Redlights (host) 3:27:13 PM
it's rock music, for chrissakes
Travis in Pledgarado 3:28:22 PM
Psychfest sounds awesome!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:32:28 PM
i wish i could have seen all of the bands on both notes, but I couldn't skip the DC punk reunions...and do not have the stamina for 2 nights in a row :D
Jen Redlights (host) 3:32:38 PM
Death Valley Girls played night 2!
Andrew G/ 3:33:39 PM
i will be seeing pegboy tonight! with the mighty FOD opening!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:34:03 PM
SO FUN!!! report back!
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:34:52 PM
Philly gets Pegboy with FOD tonight *and* Pegboy with Paint It Black tomorrow.
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:34:58 PM
(I looked it up.)
Jen Redlights (host) 3:35:36 PM
i am envious!!
Carlos Ramone. 3:37:29 PM
Dead milkmen said..” mom and dad said if I eat all my food I can go to the hardcore show and see FOD
Travis in Pledgarado 3:38:11 PM
Oh yeah, well how you getting down to the shore???
Carlos Ramone. 3:38:48 PM
Funny you should ask
Travis in Pledgarado 3:39:55 PM
Maybe you can catch your favorite cover band while you are there
Carlos Ramone. 3:41:15 PM
Tribute bands now a days
Colin 3:43:04 PM
tribute band idea (probably done already) - Motley Cure. they play cure songs in the the crue. The look is the best part a mishmash of cure/crue stylings.
Colin 3:43:36 PM
*in the style of the crue...
Jen Redlights (host) 3:43:38 PM
hahahhahaha
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:43:55 PM
A friend just put out a Nick Drake and the Bad Seeds CD (the songs of the former in the style of the latter). Hope to listen to it this week!
Colin 3:44:45 PM
that stage look , so much leather pants, bandana tied everywhere and make up, all the make up
Carlos Ramone. 3:49:40 PM
A good one on bandcamp is BOBBY RAMONE..Bob Marley songs set to Ramones tempos..the pic of Marley in a Dee Dee haircut is worth a $5 donation by itself
fr1dayafternoon 3:52:02 PM
I’m trying to go see Cory Hanson in Philly this Sunday. Anyone else?
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:52:07 PM
Rock shows this weekend you say? I'm going to see Yard Act on Sunday.
richard lyons:) 3:52:29 PM
I like that Bobby Ramone!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:52:47 PM
Yard Act!! awesome dance party bonanza
fr1dayafternoon 3:52:49 PM

richard lyons:) 3:52:53 PM
Oooo, Yard Act! Nice!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:53:04 PM

Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 3:58:37 PM
Will do my best not to miss them (unless the Eagles game goes to OT).
Colin 4:11:42 PM
I've seen a yak irl, it was pretty much love at first sight for me.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:15:22 PM
HAHAHAH where did you see a yak?
Colin 4:16:55 PM
poconos of all places. There used to a cabin I ventured too regularly. one of the directions was turn right at the field where you may or may not see a yak. i saw the yak, often
Jen Redlights (host) 4:17:54 PM
this is a short story waiting to happen, i think
Colin 4:20:39 PM
also, shout out to Phill y Yak for those who know.
Travis in Pledgarado 4:24:06 PM
I had to step away and missed the fluid song. One of the guitarists used to run the CNC machine here where I work. Good dude.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:24:31 PM
Poconos Yak can be my first band name.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:24:48 PM
I'm glad to hear the Fluid dude was nice! Always loved that band
Colin 4:28:26 PM
OG NYHC!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:30:24 PM

richard lyons:) 4:32:07 PM
Great set, Jen!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:34:00 PM
hey thanks, @richard!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:34:07 PM

Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 4:35:30 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:38:49 PM
the Nape Neck song?
Jen Redlights (host) 4:38:51 PM
SO GOOD
Jen Redlights (host) 4:39:25 PM

Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 4:40:00 PM
Yeah, Nape Neck rule.

Travis in Pledgarado 4:48:21 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:49:06 PM
