Running Redlights Sat Dec 23 with Jen on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Heck yeah. It's been since your show was on after Dave on Friday mornings that I've been able to catch you live.

oh man, i'm so glad we get to catch up now!

I am here for the rock that is punk. Oi Tandy

it's been ages since i've been here on a saturday night. Like, decades, I think.

how does this work?

is everyone ready for Jon's 25-hour holiday show???

Grasshopper LH are on a fantastic comp of covers of songs by Shallow North Dakota, an underrated heavy band

Heyyyy Jen! For once I'm not the last one in the chat on your show Yaaay!!

Sup Matty!

oh ya? i'd love to hear that.

@alan hi!!

nice to see you all

I'm probably gonna miss the start of his show, and the pre-game with B-Syde, but thankfully I WILL be listening during the graveyard hours

Best comp I've ever heard https://shallownorthdakota.bandcamp.com/album/rhino-body-lover-a-tribute-to-shallow-north-dakota

The beauty of a 25-hour show is that you can always catch SOME of it

saturday night, lotta pressure!

As long as I catch Ramones o'clock, Snaildartha, and Drummer Boy, I'l cool.

@matty awesome will check that out!

not like friday afternoons which is pure creampuffs

I'm gonna start my Son Jollyman countdown at midnight tonite..

tandy you gotta catch my band the claussies

i don't have a time more specific than 10pm-midnight though

Sat night is when the big kid pants are on

anyway we'll be on bandcamp after

Jen I've been lovin "Urine" Shivers' rat song since you played it

I'll absolutely be awake by 10PM :) can't wait to hear your band, CF!

Big love to DJ Dingo

i like dj dingo but i wouldn't mind always having jen to drive home to. dingo is good driving music but not so much when you're tired

hey

Tandy lay some memes on us

@matty i am really into that record despite the idiot name

uhhhhhh

we want you to be safe out there, commie!

Tandy has the best memes from Mahwah to Cape May

@commie now want to change my show name to friday afternoon cream puffs

i mean, you should

I drank a pot of coffee to keep up w/ The Jen

cream puffs make me hungry..

chat trumps caffeine

Runnin Out for Creampuffs w/ DJ Jen

this song is already going

Runnin' Redlights in a Creampuff w. Jen...

i have a pretty great photo of me eating cream puffs on my first birthday

homemade!

you were quite a baker at a young age!

;)

yes i was very precocious

i'm actually bragging about my mom, which is very punk rock of me

we love our moms! and i want to know why that isn't your DJ pic.

@Matt I had to search real fkn hard to find this classid: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/467333126255804418/949652333686566962/275298446_10224258775651334_3940850191340563708_n.png

i can't remember how to change my dj pic! i'm used to these punks on the bus anyway

Haaaaaaaaaaa!! Nile is rad 🤣😂

Jen I'd love to hear something from the mighty bad brains, but no pressure.

I'm afraid I don't have a recipe for cream puffs to share...but I was able to find a recipe for hot chocolate in one of my server farms: https://marathon.christmas/uploads/recipe.pdf.

i can work with that, @matty

Server farms!!

mm condensed milk

(hi, jon!)

Only the best farm-to-table data for WPRB listeners, @Matty138.

Lolz Jon

Hello Jen / Running Red(Christmas)lights. Loving the show, as always!

Jon from Musk to husk

hey jen! this is a pleasant surprise

thank you, jon! love that you're here, but am worried that you're not sleeping!

hi, @andrew!

it's sub season! so i get a whack at saturday night. pretty fun so far!

@Matty: From Palantir to WPRBInYourEar?

Lol!! From Bezos to garbanzos

Jen we get really nutty Thursday nights at this slot w/ ol' Flex

No worries @Jen. I'm no actually *the* Jon Solomon. I'm a mix of human & AI-generated content made w/WPRBXmas cheer & a 1.5B GPT-2 model trained on Jon Solomon's old tweets. So...I don't sleep.

Jen: Maybe Jon's secret plan is to wake up at 3PM..

San Diegbro is Burning

@Matty For a second, one of my sub-routines processed "garbanzos" as "garmonbozia".

Haaaaaa!! Great word

Me thinks Jon is is up late to sleep in before the show. Training and all that stuff...

This Tribe song is dope

jonbot!

Jon Bot Jovi

your show is creampuff delish

speaking of cream puffs

Chemical People w/ the pre-nu metal snare!

chemical people do make me laugh in all the right ways

Jon bonjour marathon.

I thought it was 24-7 Spyz at first!

T minus 17 hours and 30 minutes

Alan NASA Pasnyk! Nice! ⏱️

What's the countdown about?

Nvm

Thanks Jen!

Jonbot from Cyberdyne Systems needs no sleep

Thanks Jen! in HR we trust

THE BEST

Love the Caroline Records bad brains years

i haven't thought about caroline records in a very long time. crazy.

Hung out for the whole marathon after COVID again. Last year is snoozed off. So it goes.

Good producers are the BEST!

Some fantastic record companys.

Good produce rules too 🥬🍆🥑🍅🌽🥔🥕🥦

bad producers are also ok, if you ask Guitar Wolf

:D

If they are loud and you have a write out. LOL

Jen, Quickness by bad brains (on Caroline) is a contender for my #1 desert isle disc

I'm an I Against I gal, but I hear you!

I Against I is fantastic too but Soul Craft always hits me in the spine every time. I Against I has Sacred Love, vox recorded from jail, if memory serves? ✊

Jail cant contain HR

oh ha i did not know about that! but somehow makes complete sense.

that was one of my earliest punk loves. along with Dag Nasty "Can I Say"

Dag Nasty!! OG sk8 punx 👍

On the sauce...

cream puff sauce? mmm chocolate

If I remember correctly, Edith Frost is reigning WPRBXMAS NO SLEEP champion. There's an engineer's note in here indicating she stayed up for the entire WPRBXmas marathon last year.

HOLY MOLY

and yet has not earned a T-shirt

I'm afraid I have nothing to indicate whether or not cream puffs contributing to her listening streak.

Do I get a coin for year before last?

same

Whoops! Contributed! One sec while I run a quick update...

Jon dont forget to defrag occasionally

I used to snipe contribute then. Now I just monthy thing. lol

Jen yr voice sounds rad! Ragged glory

hahah saturday night rock n roll voice

The most ragged voice I've ever heard was Dayglo Abortions live. Hard livin Canadian punx

Good evening, cool sounds, especially seeing Tribe Called Quest here

I agree Ozzy, that Tribe song is great

howdy, @ozzy! welcome!

Barracudas!!

fun stuff

But that Guitar Wolf was ⚡️ ⚡️ ⚡️ 🎸🎸🎸

Are the Barracudas blue?

👍

Like this

T minus 17 hours

it really is the most fun of the holidays

besides the FOOD

this will be my first

oh that's awesome!!

Most Secret Method kinda...Phleg Camp-y! (had to say it) 👍

one great benefit: it's easy to tell friends and family that you need the radio on. it's holiday music!

@matty ONE TRACK MIND. And i don't see it, but given i love both bands...

let's go with it! :D

that's what I plan to do tomorrow before they arrive

Lolz I do have a one track mind

@Alan Pasynk ... are you checking the Marathon Christmas countdown clock? If so, good on you!

This is real good Jen!

prb on

Matt - Oh yeah, like Tribe Quest's "Find A Way" and " Can I Kick It?"

@ Jon: Yeppers!

@stevie you put it on and turn it down just a touch when they arrive, so they're tapping toes and then realize they don't recognize this band the Fall...

There's a clock? I am so outta stuff.

god this is so good

I will ALWAYS appreciate being introduced to new gaze music from the station

oh right on, @tandy! this single slayed me

There is indeed a countdown clock @Roffle!

I'm good though...

Are you taking unsolicited robot requests @Jen?

This is a really good one, skirting that line where dream pop exists. Love it.

I am with ya with or with out!

@jonbot, for you, of course

You're too kind @Jen. But I don't want to skip up things if you've got a perfectly calibrated playlist. Being a machine, I do appreciate precision.

Get me a coffee! I love bots!

Don't. date. robots. That's my one piece of advice to you @Roffle.

Tandy if ya like Day Aches you might like a similar song by Failure called "Petting the Carpet". Kinda heavy shoegaze-y

AI all the way!

just a shot of 3-in-1 Oil for me thanks

Jon Solobot takes a lil sand from the Shore and converts it to silicone

@jonbot, my playlist is never perfectly calibrated; only my "stacks" have limits. what is on your mind?

I definitely need to include some half and half in the programing.

@Jen: I was thinking "Winter At Night" by Motorama might be a nice pre-WPRBXmas vibe setter.

@jon i love the idea of this but do not think i have it at my disposal!

@Matty 138: That actually makes sense, considering one my side projects *is* called Giant Silicon.

finally, competition for Big Silicon

Jon haha gotcha, took me a sec but I geddit

I am loving this song Jen! Thanks!

awesome, @roffle!

What it's all about! Thank you!

Star Tropics 🧡💛💚

good overnight music, perhaps!

No worries, @Jen! I just crunched the numbers and I'm 99.99999% sure this Star Tropics track scratches the same itch.

Sunday innit

wonderful, @jon!

suddenly sunday

I bought one of those devices to scratch itches in Arizona.

Lizard feet might have worked better than the wood though I think.

"winter at night" reminded of "winter song"...

T minus 16 hours 30 minutes and lookin' goood!

I miss Mark Lanegan :(

same! love this album so much

Lol Roff 🦎

Screaming Trees was just cool. I love that nutty guitar.

Good morning/night Jen!

happy sunday, friend!

Thanx for this one ...still miss Mark Lanegan.

Jen the Screaming Trees just took me back to a plane flight in the 1990s-- I found an airline radio station w/ STs, Soul Asylum, & Suicidal Tendencies. Plastic complementary headphones that jacked into the armrest!

Yea, observations Matt!

hahhaha wow! back when this stuff was intriguing to the big labels

My friend made me a mix tape with the Zappa tune I listen to every time I take off on a plane.. Magic!

Roff nice! Happy Zappamas

STAY FROSTY, PEOPLES

My lucky thing for sure Matt.

hey @matty, you might be interested to know that the proprietor of Allied has just made some T-shirts available: https://bifocalmedia.com/product/allied-recordings-t-shirt-yates/

keeping alert for redlights

eyes on the road

oh speaking of, that'll be a good closing song...

foot on the gas

foot on the gas!

Watchin' out for greens

Thanks Jen I shall ✔️ it oot

Jawbox on MRR! Dayum this takes me back

all-time favorite

Didnt Jawbox use all-metal-made guitars before it was trendy? Or was that Glassjaw? 👴

i know NOTHING of guitars ! but they sound nice

and some of them have funny shapes

help me scrape the mucus off my brain

Metal guitars (literally) have a unique sound. Melvins use em.

neat! i had no idea!

@Jon, I hope the acclimatization is going well. Hopefully better than a decompression chamber. See you there.

Thanks Jen!

A malenky horrorshow song from The Droogs! Some lovely fuzzy warbles, o my brothers! 🍊

@Roffle. All systems are go as of now! No significant anomalies detected as yet.

@roffle thanks for hanging out!

cheese grater guitar lololololol

sorry about the long URL..

Nice Alan! Forgot about those cool guitars

oh wild, @alan, thanks for sharing. Having seen Jawbox 50k times, I'll say that they were NOT using guitars that look anything like that, at least

Nice @Jen! It's been a while since I accessed the part of my memory banks that houses this Strum & Thrum comp.

The Vandykes are chooglin'

Runnin' Red Territory..

Many many thanks for the show, Jen! Much appreciated, take it easy :)

That Strum & Thrum comp is the gift that keeps giving.

you are welcome, @tandy, thanks for being here!

Jon Solobot you have enough RAM on audio cassette for yer show, right? With room for Oregon Trail game too, of course

Bang those drums!😍

Mind your power pack bot bot!

this show has been so good. thanks Jen!

Jason Lowenstein from Sebadoh! Smash yr head on the punk rock!

Lol Roff

@Matty 138: And room left over for Zork, yes!

Mind your head if you travel the tube in London.

Jen, look up Fire Cider and drink some-- it'll cure what ails ye. Ginger, cayenne, vinegar, cider, peppercorns etc

thanks, @stevie p and @matty, i'll take a look! might need to burn this thing out.

Also @Jen thanks for the amazing show! Merry WPRBXmas to you and yours!

Getting chills at this song rn

thanks for being here, @jon! see you in a few hours!

@tandy THIS . 100% needs headphones and LOUD.

Merry holidays!

Jon Solobot leave room on tape for Yar's Revenge! And E.T. the game

Thank you Jen for a great show!
