Labrhas!

Hello, Jon Solomon! Always a pleasure to be in the chat with ya. And all the other listeners, of course.

The conspiracy deepens. Hello, Travis!

Oh BOY

Richard! TAndy!

Off tonight so I'm all ears for this radio program PH YEAH

Great combo for a great show! What a treat!

I agree!

Ohi Captain

"Wednesdays Are Wonderful" would be a great WPRB t-shirt.

WPRBendsdays Are Wonderful?

Wooooooo!

I want a Monday Morning Metal shirt

WPRB Wednesday Windbreaker

🚂 🚂 📻

are we hyper yet

Sweet Swag. 2 DJ's for the price of 1!!

GW! Hello!

THIS JAM RIGHT HERE.

SUP MIKE

ML IN THE CHAT.

Wouldn't miss it.

Ciao Capitani!!! I heard the first tinny lick of that Anti-Pop Consortium song and was instantly taken back to circa 2002 when I first became a listener and this very riff was a WPRB station identification accompaniment. Was it Dan Ruccia who voiced that ID?

TPPP!

hi Teresa!

"THIS JAM RIGHT HERE" = tonight's theme.

LUPICA!!! I miss you so very much from these here airwaves! How are you?!

If I may be so bold...heading to NYBG this Sunday, any good restaurant suggestions for that area?

not to be confused with "that jam there"

The botanic garden?

Yes...via MetroNorth

THESE JAMS INPARTICULAR RIGHT HERE.

My folks said there's a place across the street they really like. Or on a street nearby. I will ask them!

The host with the most!

Yeooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

JIMBOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Jonbooooo and Ahaboooooooooo 💥💥💥

pledge.wprb.com is the place to be. Check out the new swag!

It's Jon Ahab and Captain Solomon tonight!

YEOOOOOO

HITS and HITS 🥊💥🥊💥

dinner can wait...I DANCIN'

bam bam bam hope you don't bruise easily on account of all these HITS

prb tko

Legitimately shocked to not find my husband on here—Unrest is like his Bat Signal.

you weren't kidding about playing The Hits!

Mary! Happy belated birthday to you both!

Andrew, I don't mess about when it comes to the Membership Drive.

pledge.wprb.com

Thank you, Jon!

BOUGHT THIS ON CASSETTE WHEN IT CAME OUT

I can't think of a more handsome band who were also nicer and ridiculous musicians. Almost unfair.

10% of the way to our show goal, but almost an hour in. Ack!

Aiee

Hope everyone is well tonight. Great you can each be a part of this evening's fun.

I have contributed

You're the best, Rob. Be like Rob!

I can finally post on the chat! I had issues getting the chat button up before. Thanks for the hits Jon and Cap!

And good evening everyone

It's a Membership Drive miracle!

I wish I had turned 30 last week.

You're too kind, Jon (and Captain)

Thanks for bday wishes!

alright folks, here's that list again: Alaska Arkansas Hawaii Idaho Iowa Kansas Mississippi Nebraska North Dakota South Dakota Utah Wyoming

Alaska and Hawaii used to give, but not since 2022!

My grown-ass son is twerking to this

Video please.

40 pledges in two hours? Can it be done? It must be done!

pledge.wprb.com

I feel at home wherever WPRB is streaming Jon

Everything coming through loud and clear?

Yep! Ahab's was a bit louder than yours, tho.

Interesting. Was the opposite in my headphones but we can adjust!

Thank you, sir.

rank the DJs

1. Commie Francis. 2. Everyone else.

fair

Jon is at least a rear admiral, and ahab is, of course, a cap'n

wow this mash up

☭

LOL - so many Fugazi mash ups

Francis!

34 pledges from our goal! Psyched to thank you on-air when you give. pledge.wprb.com

love this

Purely informational question: would a second pledge this show from a listener count toward the 34?

I won't stop anyone from giving twice. Especially if they used an alias so I never knew during the program. I don't want to speak for Ahab here but she agrees.

this song would mash well with Paranoid

seconded

or wait, a different sabbath song?

Everything goes with SABBATH!!

\m/ yes \m/

Children of the Grave i think

Children of the Grahab

I think due to the magic of radio, it seems like they're in the same room, but Ahab, and Solomon are not.

We're in the same time zone this time at least...

Mountains, too

I gotta roll. great show people, grab those money bags

Thanks Patrick!

Thanks Patrick. I appreciate your behind the scenes help with this drive very much!

Heh - I was listening to "Singles Going Steady" last night

awwww yiss

So hard to pick one Buzzcocks song to play!

How about a Buzzcocks cover set. Saw Naked Raygun a loooong time ago, and they did "Fallin in Love"

Heading into the last hour. Kick it into overdrive.

Jen did a whole Buzzcocks tribute show and then it turned out Steve from Buzzcocks was listening!

I remember that - That was Freakin AWESOME!

Buzzcocks! Pizzed Jeans! Wprb rules ✊

Matt rules! Yeah, I said it!

(curtsy)

Excellent show tonight everybody! I gotta go, spaghetti to eat, moms to appease.

BALD EAGLE 🇺🇸 💪

@ahab new High On Fire countdown: 6 days (earlybird listen on the bandcamp) 🔥⚔️🌱

Nice - thanks for the recs, Mr. Sabbath

heyo Matt!

Francis 💪✊ Turkish-sprinkled doom is the key to joy

Don't miss Flex and I hosting on Monday morning

Eat that spaghetti, Mary!

Did Titus Andronicus find that new New Jersey?

Captain I'll be there. Ever heard this song Dopesmoker? 😂

i might have heard of it

Titus A Monitor is just a darn near perfect record and this... anthem yea!

Time to show this dirty city how we do the Jersey Slide.

Also getting to eat that spaghetti, great show!

Sendin the shivers down the ol' spine Jon! 💚

This is the anthem I only realized I needed a couple years back.

Aye it's a jig innit

Jeez now that we have NJ pride I'm thinkin of the dark lord Danzig and them jokers from Lambertville, Ween

Heard this first on WPRB 12 years back & was hooked

First Trenton must make for the world to take.

This week's cuts for time = next week's show.

Ween = from Bucks County PA but yea... they lived on the ol HQ road there for a while up the hill from Lambertville

Brian I had good poutine at Triumph brewery in New Hope recently

I wish I could cancel my class Monday to listen to the FLexAHab DEsert SLudge program

Have not been down to town in a year. We usually go to that pool out back of the big hotel outside of town up the hill on 202 once the Mem Day weekend happens.

I saw there are now two record stores in New Hope I need to check out...?

Maybe I will!

Mike T DO IT

ah darn Mike! We're at it again the evening of the 18th

But I have been down to the old Apple Jack's location in Point Pleasant, PA (Dharma Bums) that has had some great shows. They use a New Hope address when looking it up but it's Point Plez

Would that be a bad thing?

you're the prof!

PRT: Trenton's Finest!

or you could stream it during class

GREAT 18th.

Marcus did you see the play about PRT? I did not unfortunately.

Mike T rule with an iron fist in a stonewashed glove

I'm more like a torturer

I did not know about the play

It was in Trenton. I think it has wrapped.

Cap Ahab 💡I would totally do that

https://trentonjournal.com/passage-theatre-reveals-cast-for-new-poor-righteous-play/

It was up in February.

Alas!

@Ahab did you fire back at the eclipse w/ yer laser eyes?

haha i did manage to borrow some glasses so I got to see it

loved it

Folks, wprb DJs are top notch. We're talking cybernetically enhanced.

I was standing in a field in front of a group of fourth graders genuflecting chanting "All hail the sun! All hail the sun!"

THE BOSS

lol cue QOTSA's "my god is the sun"

everybody act busy, the Boss is here

I knew Dj Ahab would do Under the Sun on eclipse day and she delivered

Petnoodle!

Jon Solomon puts the fun in Funyuns

Mmmm funyuns

Tandy I have clownstep recs forya

Capn Ahab!! Wooooooooooooooooooo

Nine pledges away from our adjusted goal! 34 minutes to go! pledge.wprb.com

Playing the long game here.

let's do this folks, nine more pledges!

I'll put in my lunch money if I have to!

Werent Naked Raygun on Alt Tentacles fer awhile ?

Jon, sorry to miss your show, as I had another engagement. Looks great! And thanks for playing The Fall!

I do not believe so. Homestead and then Caroline.

woohoo

Chris, thanks for being a donor and a longtime steward of the station!

Rally your fellow WPRB alums to give this drive!

Chris M I saw The Fall at a RIB FEST in Reno, NV. Takin that one to tha grave.

I'll try. Thanks for being a microphone fiend for decades, Jon!

Eric B & Rakim TURN IT UP NJ

I saw the Fall when Brix was still with the band. I think Mission of Burma opened up. Pretty damn good show

I am but a smooth operator operating correctly.

Francis nice MoB!!

I'm not scared of clownstep, I make it afraid of me

@Matt Sounds amazing! I've been to Reno and I've seen The Fall, but never simultaneously!

30 minutes left!

Thank you, Marcus! Eight away!

Lol Chris M small world! ✊

I drove through Reno - weird place. Every billboard was either Truck driving school, Personal Injury Lawyers, or cash settlement(I want my money now!)

You're killing again Jon. Quick with the slickness

And slick with the quickness (bad brains)

We've reached the "texting relatives to donate" portion of my drive show...

Francis and burning cars LOL

pledge.wprb.com

pledge.wprb.com

Six away!

Eric B. & Rakim 🔥🔥🔥

Tandy I'll share the 🤡 thumps n mooms during Thursday pm

I'm a proponent of running up to the barge and bombarding it with your bills. Give Jon your bills. Just give all of your money to the station. Right now. Do it.

Ozzy ✊ that song rumbles mountains

Tandy .... NICE

The Chills were such a massive WPRB hit in the late 80s. Reminds me of Mike Lupica's theory of alternate universes where bands and songs like this are massive hits everywhere not just PRB

⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 🤠 　　　　　💯💯💯 　　　　💯 　💯　💯 　　　👉　 💯💯　👉 　　　　　💯　 💯 　　　　　💯　　💯 　　　　　 🥾　　🥾

HE GOT VIVISECTED

Sabbath- 50+ years of hip hop for real. Makes lava erup!

Erupt*

Chris M cool theory!

Ozzy ...makes thunder appear outta nowhere

ASMR whispering on wprb! What!!

MUDHONEY. TURN IT UP DIRTY JERZ

Fuzz pedals to the MAX

WPASMRB.

FOUR AWAY

Four!

On another planet/reality, Mudhoney is The Beatles.

Their songs hold up so well.

"If I Think" gets me every fukn time

Few regrets in this life, one is not taking a picture of Mark Arm and my 9-10 year old daughter shaking hands.

HELL YEAH LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG LFG

Oh chit Jon! Awesome

Mike Patton in da haus 🎙️

Prince Paul

This is a journey

pump up the volume

The bassist of Mudhoney (current) is an EMT in Australia

I remember seeing Mudhoney in the early 1990s and Matt Lukin was acting (?) like the ceiling fans in the venue ceiling were choppers...

And the Godflesh bassist works with ex-cons & people recovering from drug abuse

Jon haaaaaaaa!! Matt L was a nut

TWO MORE

This song goes out to everyone with a piano lesson tonight.

DO IT FOR DRAMARAMA FFS

"The choppers, man. The choppers!"

"Uh, Matt. Those are ceiling fans."

Matt Lukin Does Apocalypse Now

That's Zeds Chopper

Lolololol Marcus

Give your diamonds and candy to the best station on the airwaves

Big thanks for the show, Jon!

🥂🎉🥳BE THE ONE

5-Star "Let me be the one"

I think this song sets SET IT AND FORGET IT, just like a recurring pledge!

Make an antennae with a Pringles can! It can be done! 📡
