TAndy 3:16:52 PM
I need to find and buy this GAS already. It's been a mainstay for the station since before I even started listening, it seems.
TAndy 3:18:04 PM
Chewsday innit
Lili (host) 3:31:59 PM

TAndy 3:56:23 PM
This is beautiful ❤️
Richard of Rocky Hill 4:09:40 PM
@ Lili (host) Fitting theme today: With temps in Greater Princeton nudging 60 F, it almost feels tropical compared to the past month. ;-D
Lili (host) 4:10:53 PM
hahah yep! i love it
Lili (host) 4:11:02 PM
i was sitting in the sun outside yesterday! wild
Alex Crowe 4:27:34 PM

Lili (host) 4:30:11 PM

Lili (host) 4:30:18 PM

Lili (host) 4:47:28 PM
thank you WPRcrew! 🙏
Liz Bot 4:48:05 PM
Hi Lili! Did you see the Brazilian movie “I’m Still Here” about disappearances during the fascist regime there in the 70s? It had a great soundtrack - Lots of Tropicalia! (Also a good movie!)
Lili (host) 4:49:18 PM
I did! I cried rather hysterically in the Garden Theater...
Lili (host) 4:49:44 PM
but they played Fora da Ordem!! a little easter egg for the listening crew
Lili (host) 4:50:02 PM
and of course talked about how awesome Caetano Veloso is!
Liz Bot 4:50:02 PM
Maybe you mentioned it earlier in the show. I couldn’t catch all of it. I love Gal. I did a tribute show to her when she died. Readie and I saw Caetano Veloso in Princeton a year…two years? ago!
Lili (host) 4:50:15 PM
yes! I can't believe I missed him :(
Liz Bot 4:50:47 PM
Yeah, I thought about Caetano’s song “London London” he wrote during his exile there when the eldest daughter gets sent to London
Lili (host) 4:50:58 PM
can y'all hear the berimbau in this song?
TAndy 4:52:51 PM
Time for me to hit the road but thank you so much for the show!
Lili (host) 4:53:13 PM
radio love ❤ thanks for tuning in!
Liz Bot 4:54:07 PM
@Lili - He played one of the two nights of my Spring Membership Drive shows! I high-tailed it over to MCCARTER immediately after I got off-air!
Alex Crowe 4:54:46 PM
Wasnt listening for it but I got the sound down after searching it up. Thanks for the show and the insttrument intro Lili!
Liz Bot 4:56:24 PM
I don’t remember if you were at the Tropicalia doc screening PRB hosted at Princeton Public Library. It was a buncha years ago, as a double-feature with the Big Star doc. Both are great. The Tropicalia one was hard to find at the time I remember. I hope it’s streaming somewhere now
Lili (host) 4:56:25 PM
an honor as always to serve the airwaves of NJ, Delaware and PA!
Lili (host) 4:56:43 PM
No I didn't make it! Would love to track that down...'
