good morning, bros!

BUT YOU TURNED AWAAAAY

Yesssss guelo

obsessed w this track (and the whole album)

Favorite FF album for me hands down!!

Agree... tracks like this, Third of May, If You Need To Keep Time On ME

@ Methuselah Mouse (host) Good morning. May the Fleet Foxes of Fineness Find You Frequently!

This one or on another ocean...

Good morning, Richard!!! Thank you - and same

Seeing them live is an unforgettable experience

unfortunately I saw them at the Mann... and I was outside of the shell on the lawn: the sound out there is meh

still rapturous

i saw them at forest hills stadium in NY - they were all in tennis uniforms because the venue is just tennis courts + a bandshell

was so cool

oh yeah! my buddy went to that I think he plays tennis there too lol

the opener was sick too... Uwade... she hasn't released anything in a loooong time tho

only has like 3-4 singles out

ok I remembered my favorite part of the album: Ōdaigahara

Incredible choice

Uwade blew me away!! Headed into the car shall be tuned in have a nice show

thanks for dropping by, guelo! <3

yay new Vampire Weekend

and it's GOOD

I was wary... Father of the Bride was fun but not the same

And OGWAU has managed (at least IMO) to innovate on their sound but still have their trademarks.

sounds like they are back in form

Agree

whoa earthquake

OK I did feel that!!

that was CRAZY

everythign in my office was shaking. Bonkers

studio began shaking... was super confused

Earthquake check-in.

Our whole house shook for what felt like 20 seconds. Then the texts from people in NYC and Philly and Bucks County started arriving...

I thought that was a damn truck or road construction fixing my street finally

Someone call Jerry Lee Lewis..there is a whole lotta shakin going on

Preliminary magnitude of 5.2 epicenter may be around the Ramapo fault line in northwest NJ

sorry guys... my show was that good

The earth crust got that stanky leg to your show. I was JUST falling asleep too

🤘

I saw 4.8 and an origin near Somerville.

https://twitter.com/LastQuake/status/1776254674296856872

Either way, it must have originated within the WPRB broadcast range!

studio began rumbling

mic bouncing up and down

Wild.

Had to check the chat, man I FELT that over here in Newtown!!

Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake

@DSM happy to hear we're your news source <3

Upped to 5.5!

Wow!

Building rumbling, shit falling off shelves

So much for sleep I'm following this, natural phenomena is sick

Lol methuselah, i just know TAndy is on top of things :)

Felt here in Central Bucks Co,PA. Rumbled the house for a minute or more

ultimately it's because we sound so good

So true

felt in florham park

And we just found out that there is a slow moving overloaded truck tying up traffic today (and yesterday) in Bucks so... we're like hmmm.. we are close to the road but.. that can't be the truck right? No.... it was the terremoto

curious if there will be any aftereffects

Looks like about 30 mi E of Philipsburg, NJ ? (Tewksbury / Lebanon Nj area?). And that area had one last month too

felt it down here in Bristol PA.

Brian D what is that truck? It closed down the center of town yesterday for 45 mins

hey now. felt it in orange county, new york. scary.

Just read the local alert on that today... my guess would be large equipment moving (underground pipes??? etc)

Request: "Earthquake Shake" by the Skunks. It's on the "Bloodstains Across Texas" compilation (vinyl stacks).

for sure, mike

crazy stuff today

i'm printing up shirts " I survived the 4/5/24 quake in the WPRB chatroom"

Not the first time feeling an aftershake earthquake in NJ, since around the 2010s

Area police & emergency text alerts are reporting a 4.8 mag. earthquake centered in Lebanon, NJ, to our north.

Lol Mok

earthquake - eclipse - end of times.

As more info comes in, I'm sure the strength and epicenter info will be more precise.

Probably so, thanks Brian D.

MAH JAM!!!

We. Have. Achieved. Maximum. Riffage.

Well-played, MM.

i wonder if new jersey is directly opposite taiwan on the globe and that was an echo of their disaster.

thanks guys

dale is that how it works?

i thought it was like...tectonic plates or something

Consensus seems to be that it was a 4.8, https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1150240437022502962/1225818740218662953/image_49.jpg?ex=662283aa&is=66100eaa&hm=530ed400db11f699dbef3e2a45b3ae0f3b2a8148162f595fec3250c4ce87b448&

@Dale Hazelton & @ Hüsker Mök Thanks so much for those reports from Orange Co, NY and Bristol, PA. Given the ancient rock substratum of the Mid-Atlantic states, I'm not too surprised that the tremors were felt that far away.

Playing earthquake shake minutes after a quake. WPRB = 🐐

thanks colin!!!

Heh,,, The antipode for this area of the US is somewhere SW of Perth Australia in the southern ocean but.... close enough to Taiwan for that connection why not

My relative in Lancaster, PA area said he felt it as well. Far reaching!

methuselah mouse - probably just in star trek.

brian d. - antipode....didn't know there was a name for it!

@Mok - Ha, I'll buy one of those t-shirts

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipodes

The wiki pages on antipodes has great info and graphics for Geog geeks like me

Since our planet has quite a bit of ocean real estate so to speak, there are very few large population antipodes that match up

i'm just happy NJ is in the newd

news*

@ TAndy Thanks so much for that map. I'm not a geology expert, but I'll say: It shows clearly where the continental plates of what are now North America and Africa were pushing up against each other 230 million years ago and folded up the land into today's Appalachian mountains, whose foothills the high lands of northwestern NJ.

Looks like the epicenter was near the edge of that formation.

there's the Ramapo Fault, right?

Yeah, it's in the area along with some forks of it.

The monster in the mountains just HAD to decide to stretch on a workday

so happy to have u here today TAndy

the most incisive earthquake commentary

Naw, Richard explained it better

I'm gonna try and sleep again see yall

sleep under the bed TAndy. or the kitchen table.

safety first

Bandcamp Friday notification alerts coming in quakes as well

I cant clear my inbox fast enough

This took me right back to Transworld Modus Operandi the moment the song started. Thank you for this one!!

thanks, robert!!!!

love to drop a surprise The Shins

It is very much welcomed!! Correction to the skate video. It was transworld Sight Unseen. Both excellent skate videos with fantastic soundtracks!

Hahaha.. will have to check out

Ovlov was represented by Bob Loblaw Esq,,,,

bob loblaw? of the bob loblaw law blog?

Let's just say it was a person named Blah Blah Blah ... they dropped a Bob Loblaw law bomb on their oblong hopalong thing-a-ma-bob in Hopatcong... or so it was reported

fascinating stuff

Great lp this Aldous Harding. She has some other good ones too

remind me of Steely Dan - Dirty Work

i think she's incredible

this is one of my fav albums of the last few years

her video for 'blend' drives me bonkers.

just so fucking cool

Hell yeah Trail of Dead

it's a takeoff on a scene from apocalypse now, which makes it kind of hilarious.

yesssssirrrr DSM

@dale i did not know that!!

scene with the outfit starts at 1:45

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=her2M_gVKRY

Thanks for the show Bro! And all the quake news and antics! Stay shakey my friends.

Cheers, Methuselah Mouse. Enjoying the (earthquake) vibes 🫨

thanks to everyone for chatting today!!!

loved spending this earthquake with you guys

💜 Rachika Nayar

Continuous, non-stop fracking operations has made the ground unstable.

radio is the only safe place these days

airwaves don't quake

"Drill, baby, drill!" comes with consequences.

i hear a giant ravine is about to cut its way through mercer county

sulfuric hellfire screaming out from the earth

I felt it here in Norristown, PA

If you pump massive amounts of toxic liquid into the earth, of course it causes the fault lines to slip.
