Wow, it is gnarly out. Radio show starts at the top of the hour!

RAIN

Let's hope it's only rain and not something more serious!

And hi Jon and everyone

So much rain. Thunder now too.

Sunny and 70s here in San Diego. Perfect weather for a DJ Jon Solomon show

Lovely!

Greetings Jon Solomon! Greetings chatters& listeners! Hola! From the shores of Lake Titticaca in Bolivia!

Wowza!

Yep

Sunny and about 60 degrees here

Hello hello.

Hi Jon!

Road outside The Barge officially flooding. Earlier, lots of fire truck sirens. Glad I'm here for a while!

Stay safe

I'm my own captive audience.

Hope your trip is a good one so far, DJ Tenderloin.

Kelly, such nice weather!

Amazing! Too much to go into here- you can follow my wife Nadia Hewka on FB or Insta for trip pics and deets. Incredible once in a lifetime trip!

Very glad to hear.

DJ Tenderloin, cool about being in Bolivia!

It is Rob! We had the rain and thunder over the weekend and now it's easy sailing

Stay safe, Jon. Let's hope the flooding stays on the road outside the Barge

Very cool DJ Tenderloin

Thx Rob from MD- Mexico, Peru also - Brazil later on

Kelly, yeah, I saw all the warnings for SoCal on the weather service home page. I'm glad it's all over for you

DJ Tenderloin, the man of travel

Thanks, Rob. The road closure texts have begun. Not surprisingly, starting with roads that have names like River and Canal...

Thx KN- we have friends on their way to San Diego right now

LOVED SCTV.

RIP count floyd

Guy Caballero sleeps with the fishes.

The cast of SCTV is an all-time lineup. For respect.

I think I may have had a little crush on Andrea Martin when I was a kid

Eidht Prickley or Pirini Sclerosi version?

MT - ha! Indira! Indira!

Was that the send-up of Evita?

MT- exactly

Could that have been the best North American sketch comedy show? I'd wager some cabbage rolls and coffee on that bet.

I was a weird kid- used to watch “your show of shows “ and I definitely had a crush on Imogene Coca.

By the way, check out "The Last Polka" on Youtube.

What can I say- I like funny women- still do- in fact I married one!

Have only seen random and short clips of Show of Shows....Funny is Good Medicine.

Yo yooo

TAndy!

Jon!

It appears to have stopped raining here for a spell.

Evil spirits have been pummelled from my bod

There's a donut hole in the center of this pattern and that hole is over Central New Jersey (an actual place).

Yo, Jimbooooooooo!

Oops, cracked my skull, spirits seeping back in

Happens to the best of us.

Help, I'm lost inside this jam!

Getting lost in long form jams is a staple of the Jon Solomon Radio Show

Next week for the Membership Drive the jams will be far shorter (but just as good).

Oh wow a week away already. Starting the 9th right?

Yes sir. Pledge site is LIVE and there's info on the front of wprb.com as of this morning...

These cats are ready for the OLYMPICS

👁️

That Exorzist III piece was absolutely wonderful!

I wonder how long it would have been without the fade at the end. Somewhere they're probably still riding those riffs!

Howdy Jon and Howdy ALL

Hello DSM! I was thinking of a question for you recently and I will hopefully remember it by the time I finish typing this sentence.

I don't regret much, but I do regret selling a pair of bongos I had when moving.

I hope you do remember it, I love questions! and surveys!

Racking my brain. Have you been to your new grocery store?

Yes I have! At first it was such a shit show of congestion I thought to myself, no way this becomes regular for me. But by the end of my journey there, I was swayed. Variety, quality and prices are so much better than the other options.

I’m hopping off a little early to take a walk along the shore and check out the sunset with my sweetie- keep kicking it live Jon Solomon- everyone have a safe and lovely evening- adios amigos, hasta luego !

Have a great walk DJ Tenderloin!

Laterz DJT!

I don't care for kids like that

I have yet to make the trip, DSM. Soon, I hope.

Well played youngster

DSM, this kid somehow did what he did in a way that completely worked. New favorite kid.

lol I guess it's on a case by case basis with that kinda stuff

It was exceptionally high risk, high reward.

Already loving this

This one is a journey, TAndy!

i always tune in for the journeys

Loving the show! RIP Joe Flaherty.

Hello Richard and Patrick!

hello! is the Bismarck song a Lost reference?

I feel like this is perfect for an evening like this. Would be interesting to try on a bright sunny day and see what that feels like

I assume so, can ask them.

ok but if it turns out to be some well known shakespeare quote or somethin, leave me out of it

It's probably better in the dark and the rain DSM. This mild sunny day doesn't quite fit

I really like this, though

Kelly, neat to get immediate feedback like that! Thanks!

Your journey may vary!

@Patrick, Lost reference confirmed by a member of the band.

thank you!

see you in another life brother

If anything goes wrong, Desmond Hume will be my constant.

We're overdue for a Lost reboot.

I agree. PS You've got some Arzt on you.

Floating over what is in question, but that's fine.

Good evening, Roffle.

Hello

If anything goes wrong, my least favorite Lost character was Lennon.

Lots of floating going on at the moment.

Floating back to more stable ground presently.

If anyone watched The Curse, this is what i imagine the sound would be if we were to check back in with Asher and where he might be at now...

A bit late, but still compelled to point out that every time someone plays Gang Starr's "DWYCK" on the radio, a puppy is born.

Do what you can, kid.

(An acronym I did not know prior to tonight.)

DSM, I don't know if that will get me to finally fire up The Curse or not!

The Curse was top tier television for me, I do recommend

@Jon, that now makes two of us. To celebrate, put lead in ya ass and drink a cup of tea.

I was already planning on enjoying the popular drink lemonade.

DSM, I am "between shows" right now but I have a feeling I'll be catching up on movies for the next stretch. Have the back half of American Fiction slotted for my post-show entertainment.

This has a great dance beat!

Although I forgot I need to watch the most recent pair of Bad Batch episodes with my kid first!

Hello, Brenda! Sorry to miss you in Philly. Was up at the NCAA Tournament with my daughter and we got home later than planned...

Life happens, and family comes first! I hope you had a good weekend.

We did and those who went raved. So everyone wins.

Another one to buy this Friday...

We're loving the Floating Cave as much as The Exorzist III

This is what makes waking up early on Wednesdays worth it

Rob, when I listened to this one at home I remember it having more form and shape than it does on the radio tonight (but this is not a complaint).

Next do Floating Cave L channel, Exorzist III right channel

Floating Cave at 78 rpm.

Next week's show, loaded with three minute rockers, is going to be a shock to all our systems!

Got a clever lil' tune up next.

Thought it sounded a bit rushed.

lol

Amulet of Sound (radio edit)

Amulet of Sound (Club Mix)

Ha.

Amulet of Sound (feat. Pitbull)

Amulet of Sound, Taylor's Version

Well done.

That was great Jon, thanks for playing it

Thanks for going on the ride with all of us.

@DSM, heck yeah!

Swansea Sound is super cool too!

I hope to see them out this way later this year!

I agree, Rob!

good show!

oh i mean keep iit up

Thanks, Jon!!

We've still got some time together.

Hopefully the Barge has a proper life ring handy.

Band name + track name + sounds is excellent

Kelly, it was very hard to choose between the opener and closer when I was given the choice of track to premiere from this collection.

Roffle, I have planned a trio of routes home. Each avoids a river or canal I'm sure is causing problems.

this is great. googling gets me info about all of the stuff except their band lol

I put their Bandcamp in the playlist. One of them is in The Brown Christmas.

Hi Jon and yeah the drive is approaching fast! Great sounds btw

I missed that link, thanks.

Thank you for playing that for me!

The plants speak!

Great stuff Bathroom Plants!

More firetrucks going down the street...

This works with a cloudless sky and palm trees in a light warm breeze, DSM

I accidentally sold my copy of this record during the pandemic. Big regret!

Picked up two different JJ LPs to (over) compensate.

That's a bummer Jon! May it find it's way to you again some day

Jon, I hope you have an uneventful drive home tonight!

I'll let you know how it went in DJ Hog's chat!

Thanks for floating the tunes

I could def see that Kelly!

Yeah, Jon, safe travels. This has been a heck of a show

I had a lot of fun on this side of the microphone.

Thanks for the show Jon, always an intriguing variety. Night everyone!

Can't wait to top it for the Membership Drive! All hits!

See y'all then.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
