Chat is archived.

here we goooo!

jedan, dva, tri!

let's do it

Hej, ho, chodźmy!

Hey Dana!

I don't know these languages

ME NEITHER

Hey Dana, Commie, Dan and chat folk!

Mine is supposedly Polish for "Hey, ho, let's go" according to Google Translate

And good evening everyone

Hi again Alex and Rob!

hi everyone!

I've been to the Czech Republic and Croatia and all I remember is "hvala"

Yo yooooo

Credit for finding ANy eastern European covers of the Bay City Rollers!

It's odd being at the Barge and not controlling the ship!

Let's gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Let me offer a testimonial to not-yet contributors in support of the fund drive. You are already listening because you want something new. But if you let your streaming service find “new” music for you, all you’re getting is something that’s similar to what you’ve already programmed in. When you listen here you get human selected music from places you never went and with sounds you never heard! Isn’t it worth at least as much as you give to the computers?

🔭 🦅 🦢

Alex, that's so true!

Yo! I'm back! And I'm punk, too!

Great show

Yes you are, ESO!

up the punx (in bulgarian)

Ha! Yes.

I wanna hear that Polish band with the oboe!

Detonator BN

i don't have that with me unfortunately! next eastern european punk show.

It's on all the streaming services. Bigger than Elvis.

i can't play streaming stuff!

Got it. Another time! Fun band. Would recommend.

i will definitely be checking them out!

This music you're using for the mic break is so awesome

I'm inferring from the last few comments that everything I'm hearing on all your shows is personal property hard copy? For real?

I'm here for infinite Wattie

It's Eastern Euro night. Become a döner.

wow

🍖🍖🍖

who in the chat has been to any countries featured on the show tonight?

Commie & Dana, speaking of birds, we saw Swans last night. They were absolutely amazing, and SO LOUD

I'm actually in Transnistria right now. WPRB is the biggest station here! Truly amazing

Where's the Transnistrian punk?? Nothing more punk than that place

I saw Swans once, my friend forgot to wear earplugs and nearly puked

Lucky

Nothing more punk than bribing police officers so you can take part in human trafficking!

Amen

i couldn't even find any moldovan punk bands!

Dana, I'm sorry about your friend at the Swans show. They certainly are loud!

Oh, he was being a dumbass!

Oh would anyone be able to tell me about the parking situation around Philamoca? I've never been to the place before and I'm going next week for a screening on Friday

it's not the easiest to park but you can usually find a spot on girard a block or 2 away

Hi all! Hi TAndy, I've never had special trouble around PhilaMOCA but I suppose it's like any hip part of Philly

Ahh gotcha. It's very telling that I don't go out much LOL

Hi friends! I remember my college friend Jakub talking in Polish to his parents on the phone and the word 'Dobrze' was probably the word he used most with them. After he hung up, I asked him what it meant and he said it meant 'shut up'.

TAndy, I usually don't have problems parking around there but you should head over early just in case.

Hi Teresa! Love that story!

Hi Commy and Dana again!

400 pledges!

401!!

I love the way this NATO song has that horn part that plays a kind of Slavic minor-key 'la cucaracha'

Can we get four more for a total of 10 pledges for the show?

Four on the floor baby

And this Crna Zuc is sorta like a Serbian Sonic Youth!

Thanks all!

I've been sitting in my car outside of work for at least the past half hour because this all hits so hard on the sound system

How close are we to 420 donations? 😎

I think we're 17 away but we don't promote drug use here on WPRB

Except during our stoner metal shows

You're right! But of course 4/20 this year is also Record Store Day, which is HUGE!

Bet

There is the 9 minute fassss version of dope sumacher.

1 more to go til 10 donations!!

But then ye gotta play that pitched up another 900% for maximal hilarity

lol tandy, the k9 community agrees!

1800x speed

That should be an incentive for 1,800 donations within the next hour

Thank you for doing your part, TAndy

my brain imagined 1800x speed to be steam powered slow jams

😁

🎷

tandy rn... https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/182/171/eb0.jpg

Hell yeah!!

All the money I don't spend on Sp*tify or Y*uT*be ""Music"" goes straight to WPRB.

We hit our goal! Can we get to 15 by the end of the show? Just 4 more!

This show is FAN-tastic 💥💥💥

that's right jimboooo

Gotta go. Glad you made the original goal. Thanks for the great show!

Big thanks to you, Alex!

You are the BOSS JOCKS 💥💥💥

Boss jocks > Robot Jox

jaque bourrage! (maybe, my french is awful at best)

And now I am Boz again

Robot Jones > Robot Jox

saturday night synthesizers only on wprb!

woooweeewooo

fire show tonight!

☭

What really happened to Robot Jones

Repsepti is sick

i'm so gonna dig into some of the comps from tonight

certainly not mtv's republica!

i do like republica

Amazing show...thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Shout out to me

Replying to Yoni earlier in the chat, Tianamen 89 did put out a 7" comp of Transnistria punk. I've never heard it even though I love that label. I just never got to that record.

Big stretch

long live talk of the town!

I love that NPR show Fresh Air Horn

did anyone make a Transnistria Sistria comment yet

OMG

Jim that pun is worth 1800 pledges

Jim offer🤣

HUGE show tonight, thank you so much!!

energia 80 rules!

Thank you all so much for donating!

Hey everyone, I have to apologize. Digging through the Tian Amen 89 discography, I realized I confused their comp of bands from the Russian Republics of Tatarstan and Kabardino-Balkaria with Transistria. So they didn't do a Transistrai comp. However, there is 1 song by a band from Moldova on their Last Call for Lost Scenes vol. 2. Sorry about that!

of course the last mic break makes me choke on my spit laughing

Hey Dana remember Show of Prague? That was the best

@Scooter, they do have a band from Transnistria on the label, but not a comp

This I found out by looking at Bandcamp right now

ah, so I didn't mislead anyone too badly!

Tatertownnnnn

yoni it's ska

Lol. That label is so wild in that they managed to put out any bands from Moldova and Transnistria at all.

Hep hep

I'm sad I sold off a lot of my records on that label. The comp of home taper electro stuff they put out from Tehran Iran was so good

it's cheap to re-get! i'm definitely getting a bunch of stuff when i can
