Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 10:28:33 AM
One pledge / tentacle down, seven to go!
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 10:29:05 AM
The only AI that WPRB recognizes is Altered Images.
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:34:23 AM
I suppose we'll also make an exception for Allen Iverson
Percy Pledge 10:45:51 AM
I need to grab that new Chat Pile release.
Percy Pledge 10:46:16 AM
well. re release
Percy Pledge 10:47:08 AM
hate to have an incomplete vinyl run
Dan Ruccia (host) 10:51:53 AM
Ooo, what's the new Chat Pile reissue???
Percy Pledge 10:54:04 AM

Dan Ruccia (host) 10:55:25 AM
Yeah, that looks awesome! I know what I'm listening to after I get off the air... (Other than the Clothesline)
Percy Pledge 10:57:42 AM
😉
Percy Pledge 10:59:02 AM
this also blew my mind > https://hitiderecordings.com/products/ladanzadelcamaleon
Percy Pledge 10:59:38 AM
never heard of Combo Tezeta but they sure hit the rigth notes
Brian D 11:02:40 AM
Wide tie or die
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:03:19 AM
Body Shirt would make a good band name
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:03:55 AM
A downtempo Body/Head cover band perhaps?
Brian D 11:14:43 AM
Wide Tie, Body Shirt open for Body/Head. Doors at 8
Percy Pledge 11:17:14 AM
sounds like Alice Cooper
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:17:55 AM
The New Wave of Finnish Heavy Metal contains multitudes
Percy Pledge 11:20:10 AM
Live music toss up. Which show would you attend: 06/14 - Rev Horton Heat - Frenchtown NJ 06/14 - JD Pinkus - John and Peters
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:22:29 AM
Hmmm, maybe the Reverend for the 90s nostalgia?
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:22:44 AM
But I don't have a strong opinion on this one
Percy Pledge 11:23:56 AM
Ive seen JD a few times..never the Rev. I think that's where im headed
Pickled Eggs 11:31:41 AM
Mem of Magik Markers are playing as Spectre Folk July 30 @ Soupcon Salon, Lambertville
Percy Pledge 11:33:48 AM
too sweet. I can walk to that...
Percy Pledge 11:34:57 AM
is that a public venue?
Brian D 11:36:18 AM
Then there is that one little Velvet U/Modern Lovers Radio on chord change... for just a split second or 2... LIGHTLIGHTLIGHT
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:36:35 AM
The chord change in that song cracks me up!
Pickled Eggs 11:37:19 AM
Yes soupcon is a public venue. Behind Bucks coffee. But it's a small space and will probably sell out. Mountain Movers and Human Adult Band also on the bill
Brian D 11:37:22 AM
Yep. Great little insert. Ready for the cue? Hit it!
Jon "pledge.wprb.com" Solomon 11:38:26 AM
Been dealing with some (good) chaos the past 90+ minutes, which your show has provided an excellent soundtrack to.
Pickled Eggs 11:40:23 AM
Same. Great show. Awesome sets.
Brian D 11:46:02 AM
The "Children of Ween" just did a little surprise duet set there at Soupçon. 1 Ween rarity (Long Beach Island) and a fun cover of Wesley Willis's "Rock and Roll McDonald's" in the set.
TAndy: Monthly Doner🥙 11:49:57 AM
Hey hey. Great stuff today, Dan. Thanks for playing one of my favorite King Gizz songs too.
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:50:38 AM
Thanks, TAndy! That whole album is fantastic
Percy Pledge 11:53:57 AM
man this and Wilbo are like 5 hours of music class in a row. Glued to the radio. Cheers
Juan Buret (John Borat) 11:55:23 AM
Billy Here! You got Me with that Last One! I love every DJ in here! So you deserve it All!
Dan Ruccia (host) 11:56:46 AM
Thanks so much, Billy! It's really a privilege to get to share these airwaves with so many other awesome DJs.
Brian D 11:57:07 AM
