Andy Wing 3:28:33 PM
Just tuning in and hearing the Detroit MC5 discussion. Got any Electric Six?

Jen Redlights (host) 3:30:28 PM
@jon hahah
Andy Wing 3:30:55 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 3:32:16 PM

Matt Sabbath 3:32:24 PM
Michigan has a very punk director, Joel Potrykus. See: Buzzard. Relaxer. 🍿
Matt Sabbath 3:33:18 PM

Colin 3:46:07 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 3:48:14 PM
haha i insist on repeating it in case someone wants to argue with me. ;)
Jen Redlights (host) 3:48:18 PM

Matt Sabbath 3:57:04 PM
Johnny Thunders!

Jen Redlights (host) 3:59:10 PM
This was my favorite discovery! pointed out to me by former WPRB DJ Ken Katkin
Jon Solomon 3:59:53 PM
Of course! Run time, keep it going while I lumber!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:00:06 PM

Colin: total opposite of today's auto-tuned, protooled musics!
Colin 4:02:20 PM
matt, pull up an old man rocking chair on my porch so we can rock out and smirk at the kids who have forgotten how.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:02:26 PM
the best flattery, Matt!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:02:41 PM
if everyone goes and tells a friend about WPRB and/or MC5, we'll win
Steve Keane 4:03:26 PM
I'm in a bowling alley right now... But thanks for the Brother Wayne tribute. I heard it in the car.
Matt Sabbath 4:03:40 PM

David Shortell 4:08:14 PM
I was just listening to an MC5 tribute on that other NJ station. As I commented there, I saw a tribute band called “Future/Now” at the Red Bank Elks Lodge. Their drummer allegedly used a kit that belonged to Dennis Thompson!
Matt Sabbath 4:08:42 PM
Red Banks Elk Lodge!! Awesome
Colin 4:08:55 PM
matt, (my employer looking at my browsing history) was colin really searching Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers, and where to buy them?
Jen Redlights (host) 4:09:01 PM
oh what a riot! there are so many rock threads to pull on this. I've already got a pile of records to investigate thanks to this short stack.
Matt Sabbath 4:09:13 PM
Colin LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Matt Sabbath 4:09:49 PM
Colin googles "Four Loko original formula" at work
Matt Sabbath 4:11:15 PM
I am imagining this MC5 crowd
Matt Sabbath 4:16:02 PM
BLAZING ROCK N ROLL. dubya prb Prince-tone
Jen Redlights (host) 4:18:39 PM
blazing 🔥
David Shortell 4:21:40 PM
The last time I saw Wayne Kramer was at the Court Tavern over 20 years ago. At one point he tried to get the crowd to sing along, but they were reluctant. Then he repeated his plea and looked me directly in the eyes. What was I gonna do, be a jerk and remain silent? I sang along.
Jen Redlights (host) 4:22:16 PM
BEAUTIFUL, @david!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:22:24 PM
hahahah that's a terrific story
Jen Redlights (host) 4:22:37 PM
i really wanted to like his solo records. i tried.
Matt Sabbath 4:23:08 PM

Jen Redlights (host) 4:34:35 PM
trash flow has been conjured!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:35:12 PM
thanks for the hot tips, ken!
David Shortell 4:35:55 PM
"Jack Ketch" is obviously Billy Childish.
Trash Flow 4:36:19 PM
I'm sorry I missed your Wayne Kramer set and just tuned in now, though i will listen to the archive. I was pleased to be greeted by the Sounds of Ohio when I arrived!
David Shortell 4:39:14 PM
I think the last time Billy played in America was when I saw him at Club Warsaw in 2001. It was the Buff Medways, his band named after chickens.
Colin 4:39:25 PM
20 minutes left in the program = 😢, 20 minutes left in the work day = 😍. all about balance
Jen Redlights (host) 4:40:23 PM
@trash flow, it was a blast! Glad you were able to pop by!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:40:44 PM
@david thank you, that might explain why (i'm pretty sure) i have NEVER seen him play in any band?!
Jen Redlights (host) 4:41:08 PM
@colin ha that's a good lean still into the weekend!
Colin 4:42:10 PM
