SHEEEEEESH strong opener and following it up with AN INSATIABLE HOGH

*high. The vibes are IMMACULATE rn

Hi TAndy!! Thanks haha this album is one of my all time favs

Another banger. Damn bro I'm glad I'm recording the show today

Oooh would you be able to share that with me later?

Great start DJ Joppa! I have a query - are you sending these great vibez from the Barge today or the "Mothership"?

Absolutely. I have some other shows of yours recorded as well.

Hey Readie!

Woah hey Readie!! I'm at the Barge today

@TAndy could you share them with this email? joppafallston@gmail.com

Ok - I'll be rolling in to take the helm close to 3 pm!

Hey TAndy!

Sweet, I'll be here! Idk if you're driving, but princeton has free parking on the meters today, and there's one right outside

Ok, are you in the DJ spot?

No I never applied for it haha

HAHA! Thx for the info on the parking- I'll pass it on to Esoterica who'll be following me at 6 pm

Loved that Takanaka

Sure thing bud, I gotchu.

Thanks TAndy!! And thanks Readie, that whole album is super fun

Def stealing! 😉

BASS

bass solos are the best solos

indeed!

lovely!

Hey Ossy!

MACEO

FRED!!!!! FRED!!!!!!!

hi readie rainbow!

Hi Ossy!!

and hey joppa!

love this <33

joppa i will miss having you as my radio neighbor :'(

aww :( I'll miss listening to your show on my way in!

Joppa - this was my fave show of yours! great covers!!!!

Epic

aw thanks readie :) you are a long time fan!! I found this cover fairly recently and knew I had to feature it somehow before the end of the season, and this was the perfect opportunity

It is soooo great!

Hiya Mirey!

hi readie!!

I enjoyed your set today!

Joppa- 404 alert on No. 14!

hehe thank you readie <3

of course! 😘

thanks, readie, just fixed that erroneous link!

😁, @Joppa

@joppa, I heard about the video game couple days ago on our local npr https://www.npr.org/2025/05/16/1251782085/bullseye-with-jesse-thorn-keita-takahashi

Nice! I didn't know he was still making video games, I'll have to check that out

I love this song 💙

advantage Lucy is so good. one of the many discoveries I found through WPRB !

Did I miss the Letter R show?

I don't know if I actually ever made a show for that idea haha

Maybe you just talked about it

@Joppa, do you have any video games or any recommendations for absurdist humor/satire or plain silly..

Haha yes, definitely Katamari fits that bill, as does Earthbound, the WarioWare series, Ace Attorney has silly moments, I also was into Chibi-Robo last summer which is very silly and cute

I love this song 💙💙💙 my best friend put me on Dr. Dog.

They actually had a live performance at the PRB studios way back!

Oh sick!! Yeah, I love Dr. Dog and especially that song. That was the first record I bought haha

@Gautham: Earthbound as suggested by the DJ is a pretty long but wonderful game. The sequel, Mother 3, is heart wrenchingly beautifully written and is probably one of the most important video games ever made in my opinion.

Of course you also have LSD: Dream Emulator, an essential classic for absurdist video games.

This song rules too. We're well into the period of time when I started going out of my way to catch your show 💙

Haha yes this is the "TAndy" era of EMR :D

Holding the bell button every time you play a certified Jam Alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

gonna need to hold that down for the next hour at least....

The transitions and song selections have been so amazing!!

thanks karolina!! and thanks for stopping by :D

Figured we couldn’t get out of here without some Beach Boys lol

it isn't an EMR retrospective without beach boys...!

Omg hi Karolina!!

Hi Karolina !

Hey Debster too!

Marshall's home recorded demo!

Such a gem!

Hey Debster & Fran!

Omg hi Fran!

Haha I remember this show! During the last pledge drive, it was so much fun.

Howdy Readie hey TANdy <3

FIVE HOURS of video game music and somehow I didn't play Big Iron...

Nick drake!!!

Yay nick drake!

Much love for not just playing the typical title screen then 1-1 style of playlist. It and every playlist from your shows are intensely personalized, you've done a wonderful job showing us your taste in music.

aw thanks TAndy. I try to dig deep in my personal stash of stuff every week, so I'm glad that came through. And appreciate you appreciating it! big kudos to mirey for everything she played that day too, I knew almost 0 of it lol

Yay Nick Drake!!!!

Mondays are so fun this season!! The synergy between u and Mirey (and Scheki during that other drive show) has always been really cool.

It ain't gonna be the same with you gone, but I'm excited to see who takes the reign for such a prime spot on the radio.

Me too!! They won't tell us until just before the season starts, so I'm excited to see the next lineup

Thank you so much for doing this for these past few seasons, I have a feeling that you'd be welcomed back at any point if you applied for another show.

Indeed.

💙💙💙💙 indeed, Jon.

Thank you again, take care! I'll send you that stuff whenever I can. :)

cool, thanks TAndy!

thanks for listening everyone!!! I'll be back at some point....

❤️❤️
