With Readie Righteous

Shake off the week, oh Righteous Ones! It's everything from Acid-Folk to Ziglibithy. Light the candles, drape your scarves; this is your time! I bring thee ambient, Afrobeat, international, Tuareg, Tuvan throat singing, queercore, gnawa, pop, disco, post-punk, jazz, soul, R 'n' B, obit-core and more. Opportunistic singing-along with your DJ is de rigeur. Your lagniappe: historical perspective, social consciousness, irreverence.

Readie Righteous (host) 5:04:02 PM
Oi Oi yyah!
Readie Righteous (host) 5:04:51 PM
It's been a great day on WPRB!!
Readie Righteous (host) 5:06:31 PM
Time to drink some nice hot tea...settle in - hope the shoveling is all finished!!!
TAndy 5:09:28 PM
I said an hour ago I was gonna make some coffee, still haven't!
Readie Righteous (host) 5:13:27 PM
plenty of time, TAndy - do you have to work today?
TAndy 5:14:04 PM
Nope, just a regular day off. The frreezing rain did ruin my plans for today, however,
Readie Righteous (host) 5:17:04 PM
Aww, that's a shame! Did you have a plan B?
TAndy 5:18:12 PM
Nope! Didn't want to risk getting in trouble with the ice on the roads, or losing my parking spot. Might take a short nap, though. The tunes so far are conductive for a proper relaxation. But still thinkin about it
Readie Righteous (host) 5:18:59 PM
Well, just let it flow, TAndy ! Nice to have a day off!

Helloooo
Readie Righteous (host) 6:06:03 PM
Rob from snowy Maryland! Hi - how is it down there?
iamthelabhras 6:07:54 PM
Roads weren't too bad Readie, but I kept to the major ones.
iamthelabhras 6:09:47 PM
The Sundays! Nice. Yesterday was the 24th anniversary of _Reading, Writing, & Arthimetic_ being released.

"Just give me an easy life / And a peaceful death". Such great lines.
Readie Righteous (host) 6:14:28 PM
what more could you ask for? unfortunately it's tough to have the easy life....but we strive not to get in our own way!!
Russell Edling 6:16:24 PM
is the show photo an image of Centralia, PA? My coal region roots are buzzing..
Rob from snowy Maryland 6:16:50 PM
Hi Readie! My street got more than 4 or even 5 inches. We're all shoveled and plowed now, and waiting for tomorrow morning's 14 degree sunrise temperatures. Brrrrr
Rob from snowy Maryland 6:17:13 PM
And Readie, how are you up there? Did you get any snow?
Readie Righteous (host) 6:18:26 PM
Hi Russell! You better believe it! I was visiting the homestead in Scranton and we took a ride to Centralia- what a freaky place!!! A must-see! Are you from NEPA, Russell?
Readie Righteous (host) 6:20:16 PM
@Rob- YES finally- we got a few inches up here, enough to bring out the plows and salt trucks...very pretty and overdue!!!!
Readie Righteous (host) 6:21:02 PM
Still reallly cold- BRRRRR 26 degrees...
Russell Edling 6:23:16 PM
Readie I sure am, I grew up in Tamaqua, PA hah. No one knows where that is but its in Schuylkill County. When I was living there, all the local bands would venture to Centralia to get their myspace pics taken haha
Russell Edling 6:26:03 PM
it is such a fascinating story
sean burns 6:27:43 PM
More and more of Centralia keeps disappearing. I think they ripped up or covered over that highway segment that was coated with graffiti. The church is still there with smoke rising from vents nearby on occasion
Russell Edling 6:30:27 PM
https://allthatsinteresting.com/centralia-pa
Readie Righteous (host) 6:32:45 PM
Cool, Russell- and YES I know Tamaqua! Cool that the bands would go there to get their pics....I wonder if the Buoys ever went there...do you know the Buoys?
TAndy 6:33:24 PM
This youtube channel also covered Centralia pretty well, expanding that the fire has indeed moved from the town and is currently burning under some woodlands, apparently will become an issue for a neighboring town at some point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj5LjacccJ0
Readie Righteous (host) 6:33:50 PM
@sean - yes, the heat and steam coming from the holes inthe ground is amazing! And all the skull and crossbones signs....
Russell Edling 6:34:52 PM
I bet the Buoys made the trek! Guess it would have been breaking news in their day
Readie Righteous (host) 6:35:00 PM
Yes, it became too late to mitigate with the town's governemnt apparently dragging their feet...now it's impossible to stop it...what a nightmare!
Readie Righteous (host) 6:35:53 PM
Yes, for sure, Russell! That song Timothy was extremely controversial and still is I s'pose!
Russell Edling 6:38:10 PM
Yeah! I think my dad clued me into that one. A banned song.
Readie Righteous (host) 6:39:07 PM
Yeah, Russell, it was banned for a while.
Jeffry Langan 6:39:21 PM
Hey, Readie! Hibernating and trying to stay warm. Just read up on Centralia. Interesting! Next time I pass through Pa. I may try and explore around it
Ossy 6:39:52 PM
Was snowy out there since last night, but all seems to better calm
Readie Righteous (host) 6:40:23 PM
@Jeffry- Hi there! I haven't been to Centralia in a few years, but it's amazing...not like there are tourist or info centers, it's just THERE
Readie Righteous (host) 6:41:03 PM
@Ossy- yes it is rather calm right now- just really BRIGHT! I love the snow-bright!!
Rob from snowy Maryland 6:43:03 PM
Are you talking about the Buoys song "Timothy" being banned? I don't think it was ever banned on DC-area radio stations
Readie Righteous (host) 6:45:38 PM
Yeah Rob - it was released because they WANTED it to be banned to get publicity, but it took a while for some stations to ban it...
Readie Righteous (host) 6:47:29 PM
competing stations would pick up on the song when it was banned on a different station...so they said that "Timothy" was a mule lol....
Rob from snowy Maryland 6:48:50 PM
I remember DC stations playing it a lot, some months before it made KC Kasem's American Top 40 show. Also, I think the Buoys played at a local high school in 1971 or 1972??
Readie Righteous (host) 6:49:42 PM
For anyone interesting- here it is for listening after the show (of course) lol! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqDu5LBT8_Y
Rob from snowy Maryland 6:50:26 PM
Readie, my area's high tomorrow is predicted to be 28; it's going down to about 15 tomorrow at sunrise and it's already 23, which is colder than it was this morning
Readie Righteous (host) 6:50:48 PM
*interested* I meant, of course uninteresting people (and there are none of those here) are welcome to listen too ...
Readie Righteous (host) 6:52:18 PM
Tomorrow here in central Joizy it will be a high of 23 and a low of 13 degrees ...wow
Rob from snowy Maryland 6:54:23 PM
Yuppers. It's going to be cold for a few days
Jeffry Langan 6:57:52 PM
Currently a balmy 0 deg. with a -14 deg. windchill in Green Bay. Tomorrow the high is going to get up to a whopping 9 deg.
Readie Righteous (host) 6:59:12 PM
Oh wow, @Jeffry- heat wave! lol! Are you going in to work?
Ossy 6:59:58 PM
Yeah Readie, the snow makes it so bright looking from indoors. A winter wonderland!!
Ossy 7:00:48 PM
Was walking in the snowy neighborhood playing Amy Grant Christmas songs like Sleight Ride! ❄💙
Readie Righteous (host) 7:02:15 PM
@Ossy- a winter wonderland indeed! Sleigh ride is perfect!
Jeffry Langan 7:04:23 PM
Nope! No work until Friday afternoon. Will be up into the tropical 20’s by then.
Readie Righteous (host) 7:06:07 PM
Oh, good, Jeffry - hopefully it'll stay dry for you!
Jeffry Langan 7:09:06 PM

Francis 7:23:26 PM
As a non-native Californian, the locals think we're undergoing a second Ice-age, as the temp was only 54 during the day today
Ossy 7:23:54 PM
There's a new to me song of Amy, I heard during my travels called El Shaddai, which was lovely, Readie
Readie Righteous (host) 7:25:35 PM
Hi Francis - 54? that's chilly for Cali! My niece is in La Jolla - and it's 59 rn - where are you?
Francis 7:25:57 PM
Sonoma
Readie Righteous (host) 7:25:59 PM
@Ossy- thanks- I'm going to check it out after the show!
Readie Righteous (host) 7:26:11 PM
@Francis- nice!!!
Readie Righteous (host) 7:27:12 PM
So you're in wine country!
Francis 7:27:56 PM
Nicest thing about restaurant here is that they let you try out several nice tastes of wine before picking one with your meal. Grapes everywhere
Readie Righteous (host) 7:28:57 PM
@Francis, that's so cool! @Jeffry- do you hear this?? Jeffry is studying wines in Green Bay!
Ossy 7:33:43 PM
In light of serene sounds tonight, it's both Sade and Aaliyah'a birthday today!
Ossy 7:34:55 PM
And nice space song like The Space Lady Susan
Readie Righteous (host) 7:35:00 PM
@Ossy- that's amazing! Love them! Pretty soon we're going to get into some Rockabilly...
Francis 7:35:13 PM
What ever happened to Sade? She was so cool and chill
Readie Righteous (host) 7:35:18 PM
Yes, space is the place!
Jeffry Langan 7:40:11 PM
Loved, loved Sonoma and Napa when we were out there last year. Tasted tons of great wine. We don’t have restaurants that allow samples, but our shop has a tasting every Thursday. 10 wines around a central theme. This week is Chateauneuf du Pape and Rhône wines. Can’t wait!
Francis 7:44:35 PM
BTW - the craft beer selection is absolutely fantastic here as well. Pliny, Fogbelt, Racer 5, Lagunitas, and tons more
