Jen Redlights (host) 3:05:39 PM
or are you saying sound isn't working?
Roffle 3:06:01 PM
On my part for sure.

Colin 3:08:40 PM
nice! i was listening to why bother earlier today!
Roffle 3:08:56 PM
Goes exponential in the brain. Beautiful thing.
Colin 3:09:20 PM
The singers voice and melodies take me away.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:09:41 PM
This record didn't hook me the first time, but i think i'm sold now!
fr1dayafternoon 3:11:18 PM
I've omcome across some recommendations for Why Borther? and that ruled. Will check out more
Roffle 3:11:23 PM
That is a good point. I have things that I have sorta written off only to hear again and wonder how I missed it.

The Chrome Cranks were one of Bob Bert's bands. I saw them at the Court Tavern.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:25:45 PM
they were indeed and i did NOT get to see them (that i recall), which makes me very sad.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:26:01 PM
greg from failure is in autolux?? ok that's news, right on.

is this a reissue or did it really come out in 2020?
Jen Redlights (host) 3:34:22 PM
reissue!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:34:51 PM
actually i take that back. It was recorded ~1979. but i think never released.
Colin 3:34:57 PM
i figured as much. I'm sure I've listen to cassie before, but this track is hitting the spot!
Jen Redlights (host) 3:35:13 PM

Matt Sabbath 3:41:19 PM
My cousin just moved from Amherst to North Carolina, used to live on same street as ol' J.
Colin 3:42:54 PM
imagines living on the same street a J being like, Is that a freight train or war?!?!? no just dino J band practice.
Matt Sabbath 3:43:32 PM
Lol! J hides in a vortex of stacked amps.
Jen Redlights (host) 3:43:37 PM
with lots of kids loitering around outside
Francis Tysiak 3:44:42 PM
Hi Jen, great show as usual you probably don’t take requests but maybe for a future show the teengenerate album get action is 30 years old this year
Colin 3:45:34 PM
one of my favorite records francis!
Matt Sabbath 3:46:19 PM
Jen's early fanzines! We must behold
Francis Tysiak 3:47:51 PM
30-year-old teengenerate album where does the time go?
Jen Redlights (host) 3:47:57 PM
holy crap really????
Matt Sabbath 3:48:23 PM
Old guy in Greasy Strangler pulls down pants: "check these cheeks!"
Francis Tysiak 3:48:27 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 3:48:46 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:04:31 PM
hello, @timothy! cheers to that!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:05:18 PM
I, for one, am entirely done with this week.
Colin 4:06:35 PM
agreed jen! long but productive week. That cold one I'm gonna enjoy is gonna be very enjoyable in just a few short hours or three.
Colin 4:07:56 PM
oh and also, I only caught a little bit of the late night edition of running redlights this week. ( iwas in bed falling asleep) It was great. definity gonna check it out in full on MC
Jen Redlights (host) 4:08:50 PM
I hear you on the cold one! And awesome you caught some of the show the other night! i will make sure the archives are caught up soon.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:09:48 PM
roundabout RRl archives link, if anyone wants it: http://www.runningredlights.org/
Colin 4:10:14 PM
no rush. visiting the archives means i have to turn off wprb and it's been so dang good this season.
Rob from warm snowless Maryland 🦅 4:12:53 PM
Good afternoon. It's warm and was sunny. Warmest temperatures in 2.5 months! 76 degrees!
Roffle 4:13:01 PM
@Colin, I have that very issue.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:14:31 PM
guys, that is the best compliment! don't turn that dial!
Francis Tysiak 4:15:20 PM
I once won railroad jerk tickets on WPRB
Francis Tysiak 4:15:42 PM
Teengenerate Woo hoo
Jon Solomon 4:15:54 PM
I apparently booked this show in 1995 - New Bomb Turks / Teengenerate / Speaking Canaries
Jen Redlights (host) 4:16:06 PM
@francis NICE! @jon, OF COURSE YOU DID
Jen Redlights (host) 4:16:33 PM
i am pretty sure that in 1994 i listened to Teengenerate, NBT, Nuisance, and nothing else.
Jon Solomon 4:16:58 PM
A fan of the other two bands in the front row waiting for Speaking Canaries to finish started unplugging cables from Damon Che's pedal board mid-set and that went about as well as you can imagine.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:17:17 PM
ohhhhh geez
Jon Solomon 4:18:04 PM
I only realized what was happening from the back of the room because (I believe) Damon Che was suddenly beating someone in the audience with his guitar.
Roffle 4:18:20 PM
Nothing like a 60 cycle hum that goes pop at the end of a jack cable for sure.!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:18:28 PM
i will say that is maybe now the most punk show ever
Jon Solomon 4:18:58 PM
Teengenerate ruled, that's the only other thing I remember.
Colin 4:19:50 PM
jon, do you remember what venue hosted the show?
Jon Solomon 4:20:00 PM
Empty Bottle in Chicago.
Jon Solomon 4:20:36 PM
There was a listserv called The Chicago Show list that is still online which makes looking up information like this a delight!
Jon Solomon 4:20:37 PM
http://petdance.com/csl/?950921
Colin 4:20:46 PM
nice. I've actually never been to chicago
Jon Solomon 4:22:32 PM
I suspect you would enjoy it there.
Colin 4:22:50 PM
proper deep dish pizza
Roffle 4:23:29 PM
Chicago killed my battery at 30 degrees below zero. Wait until spring to visit Colin. lol
Rob from warm snowless Maryland 🦅 4:26:16 PM
Weddos!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:26:43 PM
Chicago to me is 100% about great food and great music! except for that one time I was there for work. Even then, I saw a comedy show! Fun town!

Hi Jen! My Chi-town trip was also for work- we saw the Cubbies in April (freezing) and - it was so long ago that it was a "Thing" to have a piña colada at Trader Vic's. And our hair was PERFECT.

Jen Redlights (host) 4:37:32 PM
i am VERY curious about this! don't think i have the Propeller song, thank you!
Jon Solomon 4:38:14 PM
The Propeller 7" is four great songs from four different bands. They do "Babble," an all-timer.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:38:25 PM
