Happy 1st Friday, March! Gold Medal Round in the 3rd set today! Welcome to Recherché!

Hi Readie!!! I Loved your little lecture on Physics...so you're tryin' to flush out all the Physicist Listerners.........

I took a DVD course on Special and General Relativity...

Lol, Hi Alan- truth be told, I worked at the Physics Lab and loved it

....and one night I had a dream that I met Einstein...

...and this half bald rather tall guy was sitting next to Einstein, who was staring off into the distance to my right...

It's so cool that Einstein's house is right down the street...people take photos from across the street of the Einstein house, which has a sign on the gate- "Private Residence". I laugh, because it was for Einstein too....

Did you see the movie "Q"?

...and this half bald guy looked at me and said "Remember, SpaceTime is what you live in"...then I woke up..

it's all a dream....

Readie: Did not see "Q" but saw a photo of Einstein's porch, as an Electrician I can tell you that porch light on the house is what we call a "cheapie" he must have been a simple man..

Probably the new owners...tho any house in Princeton will set you back many 100s of 1000s, back then...Albert surely could care less about the trappings of wealth...

Science is not a bunch of guys/gals running around in white jackets, Science is a tool or a method that we use to figure out how Nature works...

Visiting Einstein's house is def on my bucket list for sure...

... and figure out how to punish our Enemies!

Hi iamthelabhras!! LOLOL

Happy Friday - I like to picture Albert walking from his home to Hoagie Haven for a sandwich and taking it back to the lab.

LOL labhras! hiya! Dia Duit!

Howdy @Alan Pasnyk! And @Readie Righteous. And all other fellow (non-Enemy) WPRB listeners. Hope you all are having a great Friday!

@Alan- Einstein's House is extremely simple and nondescript...it's polite to just stand across the street and look...

Tryin' to get used to Readie's show starting while it's still daylight...

Hi vildachaya1! Love that!

Dia is Muire duit, a @Readie Righteous! Lovin' the tunes, as always.

💕💕

@Alan- it's all in the mind...soon I'll be disembarking from the Barge in daylight at the end of Recherché!!

Jah Jah got the whole world in His HANDS

❤️‍🔥

loving the show readie! as always

Hi kat - Thanks so much! Welcome!

...that Brian Jonestown photo reminds me...so today I didn't get a haircut LOL wait until the weather warms up..

I wonder if Einstein ever stopped into The Nassau Inn for a pint...

As all can see on my socials, I am due for a cut soon...

Easing into the night as the sun gets ready to disappear...

Einstein Never got a Professorship because they said he didn't get along with the other academicians very well, he was a Rebel!

I imagine it was tough - the bureaucracy of academe is a pain, anyway... I know from experience....

hello everyone

...but Princeton Astrophysicists are always in the news at least several times a year in various science publications like "Nature" etc..

Ye olde Jazz From Hell LP

Zappa!

Hi Larry, indeed!

Howdy rob F! yes, the frankster is on the air

@Alan- that they are...I worked with the plasma physicists...horse of a different colour...

@ Readie: Past DJ's Stevie Bergman and Brian Kraus are Plasma Physicists. Do you know them???

...their show was "These Vibes are too Cosmic"

@Alan- of course! I worked with Brian at the lab...and I loved their show! TVR2C!

NEW Mdou Moctar!

Cosmic debris

Readie: I Loved their show too, they put a lot into it for sure!

@Roff- howdeeeeeee!

Hey hi Readie!

Mdou Moctar = sung in Nigerian, new stuff..

Nigerian girls in the wild are what we kept those National Geographics around for. But shit is crazy wild on the African continent. I will watch from afar though.

@ Readie: Next time you see a meteor, remember that bright meteor is surrounded by..Plasma!!!

...backyard high energy physics..

(sorry Readie, but ya got me started!)

...but in the words of Roffle..."Nah" !! :)

Liz and I were grooving to that Pigeon!

@Alan, when I worked with lasers, we used plasma to excite electrons to emit photons to reflect into laser beams. Ah, the good old days...

@ Roffle: with protective eyewear I hope

I still have Optical density goggles to this day. Alan. lol

Roffle: good use at Haloween LOL

I also never, ever look at active arc wielding. I was a laser safety officer, and I remember the lesson well.

absolutely..

Thanks, that was righteous!

I am sure you have good moon filters on your telescopes. :).

Filters all around Roffle yes.

The aforementioned: https://georgekorein.bandcamp.com/album/submit-to-yourself

George is so heavy metal, and he has the screws to prove it!

Although, the sound is way punk from what I've heard. :)

So I have you on while I’m working and your voice is similar enough to mine that it’s not being filtered out by Zoom. My boss now thinks I’m recording a podcast as a side hustle

@Jean Caton, now that is funny cool.

yes, stars are plasma and we are made of star stuff!

Hi George!!! glad you all dig that! Congrats on the new album!

Love the guitar in this Rose track...

....and Congrats to you George!

@Jean Caton- that is the coolest thing I've heard in a while!!!

That is nice guitar. Thought out and in the right places.

...and the mood is Perfect for this overcast daylight dimming time...

Lots of nice guitar on today's show....if I do say so!

You need not say a thing Readie, but I am glad you do.

Daylight savings time is coming..I think in a couple weeks?

Why thx, Roff...

I'm so glad to have seen Rodriguez live...what an inspiration....

Thanks Readie, Roffle, Alan! 🪩

Wow, you saw him live? He was a ghost then and a ghost now for sure.

🦿

@Roffle, yes, he came to McCarter in Princeton a few years back, and after seeing "Searching for Sugarman", I knew I had to check it out... it was sublime!

Bring on the music George! Get a weirdo kid like I was to pick up a guitar and get free for a little bit a day. All good man.

Readie! Bravo! Love my WPRB hosts! Chasing smart is so cool. Bring Band-Aids and bactine, but go there!

I love the droooonnnne

@Alan- yes...in honour of TNK....let's drone on & on &on

Hey y’all! I finally made it! Happy Friday!

Hi Addie! Great to see ya!

Addie! Hi!! S&S ssssssssssssssss

Diggin the beat 🥁

Good evening Readie and chat haus!

Yeah this one has some energy!

Hey Stoney- I am glad! Welcome!

Hi DSM- dancin' up in this Barge!

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I bet! The Barge is boppin’! Excited for the Medal round! Was also cool to hear some BJM earlier on my drive.

@DSM- indeed, that was also a drone...it's just radio magic all the way....!

Heya Addie! Getting snow? Big rip off down here.

Hey Readie, Alan & Roffle! No snow. Gonna be in the 50s this weekend. I’ve given up on any snow this year.

Wow.

This stuff sounds like they have a Jew Harp player on steroids. Love it.

@ Readie Righteous (host) This is CRAZY! I was just thinking about George Martin!

Hi @Richard! Radio Magic!!

@ Readie Righteous (host) On Recherché, I cannot be surprised. :-))

Nice TNK primer for the medal round

Big Bongo one more time!

Nothing quite like a Lesli speaker. Martin was on pase with his time. Not ahead but working with what he had back in the day. This still goes on.

Thx, DSM...

@Richard from Rocky Hil-- then I need to work harder at it!!!! 😉

...so I wake up this morning, and the first tune to go thru my head ...TNK..

@Alan- and appropos

...and that"snippet" from George Martin & Giles Martin was Fantastic!

"And so I took off on my bicycle..." always loved that station ID, anyone know where that clip is from?

@Readie: Playlist not updating here..

@Alan - just seeing if you all are paying attention! 😉

Ok now :)

This might get my vote, because I have no idea where this is going, and tomorrow never knows either.

@ Roffle LOLOL

Alan looks back in time with his telescope. Wish we could look forward sometimes.

..Look forward to next weeks show! and tonight's upcoming shows..MWS!!

...and Dana K..

Hey, Readie! Very quick check-in. Bummed I’m going to miss the medal

Round. Am in Scottsdale visiting friends. The 2 hour time difference is working against me this week. Catch you next week!

bcnu Jeffry!

It's still too hot there Jeff! I've been there many times.

all very good versions. i vote for yukihoro, jane says wailing souls.

I Love the strong Beat of "The Wailing Souls"...MY OFFICIAL VOTE FOR THEM!!!

yukihiro, that is.

The Wailing Souls yah mon 👊🏿

Hawkeye and I both vote for Junior Parker.

Hi Jeffry! Have fun!

@ Readie Righteous (host) I'm never surprised at your innovation, it is endless. All Hail the Righteous Olympiad!

Junior Parker! That’s my vote.

@Roffle - even a warm

All Hail the Righteous Olympiad!

Green Bay winter can’t hold a candle to Scottsdale. I’m not complaining!!

Ann Dyer & No Good Time Fairies, they just play.

Votes: Me, Junior Parker. Chelsea, François Corneloup. VOTES!!!

All were fantastic, but my vote goes to Junior Parker. Thx for putting this together Readie—it was phenomenal!

Thx Joe!!!

....ambient Claire Rousay while hearing the sounds of the voting machine...

good one, Alan!

...klunk, klunk...

I liked several of them, so tough call

I vote for The Wailing Souls

Thx, RobF!

I love many Canadian bands that do English and French versions of the songs. They are often even better than the English versions because they rock without any translation necessary.

true, Roffle!

Francoise = One of my fave artists..🧡💛💚

And she wrote it too

...same as Roffle was saying about Canadian

Never heard this particular Francoise song it’s great! Is it really from 1970?! It’s so 80’s!

@Dsm- Françoise was def a groundbreaker!

Love this one too. Contact-tac-tac-tac!

Bardot = Sex symbol of the sixties..

My vote for Yuki Takahashi

My wife, who I married in Negril, votes Wailing Souls

The Bardo though...

Not sexy, but big in the sixties. The forward by Jung was priceless.

Tibetan Book of the Dead ref there..

Oui, Roffle!

You always gets it Readie!

Omg a tie?!

See you forward dear.

(My imaginary dog says he doesn't know what "vote" is)

Hi, DJ Readie Righteous! My vote is for JUNIOR PARKER❣️

Incoming Danka tie breaker?

Oh shit MrM tie breaker!!

This chat will close in five mins from end of show time listed on top info! Can you extend it!?!

Dana, is Dana.

Omg 😱

Cheers!

Wait I just got here can you play them again

DJ Readie Righteous 💖 🏆🥇🏅🎖️

Thanks Readie!! Olympiad is the best. Have a great night everyone!

The Olympiad is such a fun and beyond impressive event made possible only by DJ Readie Righteous❣️

Dana has a thing with accidents. I hope she is okay!

Awwwww!

ONLY on WPRB!!! Thank You Readie! Looking forward to Olympiad III Peace ☮️ & bcnu!

You - along with other bargers - are why I’m a monthly support

Thx Alan, and all you beautiful people!!!!

This is such a M O O D 💞🎶🎵

@Roffle - Dana texted me, she was stuck in traffic, perhaps an accident!

Thank you so much, Stoney! You rule as well!

Like a moth to the light. I love that girl, but I want her to have an air bag equipped car!

ZUT ALORS!

Oh poop -ᎷяM! As Zappa might say.

Nice play on French btw.

Great beat this Bruel track... :)

💃 💃 💃 💃 💃 !!!!

Impressed that the chat did not roll over yet. This is rather unique.

Great tune this Classic!

Minor, Major,Minor...

@Roffle- I commandeered the robots, thus, je suis ici!

I love a girl who gets control!

Any drop in playlist, or total winging it?

Alles Dingen Werken so far....

295 is New Jersey's parking lot on a Friday night.

Readie; Is there any French in your DNA?

Love is Bleu Olympiad????

Readie, can you do your best Thomas (Worried Waltz) impression to follow the Jacques Brel? I remember he had creative ways to pronounce "WPRB"

Jim: I think he could say WPRB faster than anyone!!

Alan, I also remember a lot of "dubba bew bew bewwwwwww"

Readie strangled the AI with a coaxial cable..

Great show tonight, Readie! Try to get Mr Various back, Please!

When I was 15, my girlfriend was a French Major Sophomore at Kent State. I love hearing French to this day.

Hey Guys,

Hi Liz!!!

Liz! Hello!

@Read - I am trying to remember the creative Thomas pronunciations. The bluuuuuhd one comes to mind 🩸

Hi Lizbot!

Hi Roffle!

Last drives t-shirt is a hit at my house. Gotta get that apparel

Mr Various was a hoot.

Thomas is still making his own music. He & George collaborated a few years ago.

Hi Liz! What’s his bands name?

Blood is needed!

Loved when Mr. Various played "Crazy Otto"

Thanks Readie!

Put airbags on the airbags Dana!

Big cheers to DJ Readie Righteous!

Last year YES!

I am so the guy who is going to send a life saver ring to the Barge.

Cheers Dears!

I like how he closed his show with an angry “GOOD BYE”

Thanks again Readie!!

Thanks, all!

Boots! So funny! Nice roll Readie.

Moving on. This is it and where it winds up. This song and where is made a sense of stuff. Who care who does not get it? Here we are.

This playlist is still on. lol. Funny.

Hi Kevin L - Sorry, I am at a show in West Philly now so I didn’t see you question re Thomas but it’s a short intermission between bands right now.

@Kevin L - don’t know if you’re still here! I assume Dana started! But he goes by An Endless Day at the Negativity Cabaret
