Hello.

Howdy!

Is the shirt actually a Large?

(I have since tried on the shirt.)

Hello

Roffle + Rob!

Great stuff today GM.

@Jon, did the shirt fit you?

It was certainly one of the three different sizes it claims to be!

locked in, volume boosted.

OMBG, hello!

So much to talk about, so much to play tonight.

This reminds me of a JC Penney brand t-shirt I once purchased. It was supposed to be a men's Medium, but it was kind of short. It was also kind of wide for a men's Medium. No wonder it was only $5 or $6.

I was asked if I purchased this shirt just for the photo.

Hello Roffled Feathers and oldmotorbikeguy

hello all!

Difficult part that comes with being a tall guy. And the head dinks on low ceilings.

Our swag arrived Monday (me) and this afternoon (my wife; she is wearing her shirt right now)

Hello Jon. That’s classic nearsucker I assume it’s one size fits everybody like “the mask”

The Kramer vs Kramer would be wild

Greetings Jon Solomon - greetings chatters - this batch of t shirt, sticker, and pin - are all excellent. Good job!

And Jon, when did this storm happen that blew you off the road?

Mochi and Richard, hello!

So glad everyone is getting their swag. Very annoying that the delay was completely out of our hands (and not caught prior).

Hiya DJ Tenderloin and Richard and Mochi Studios and everyone to come afterwards

Rob, this was on Thursday night? Straight wind pushed through PA / NJ and I don't recall getting caught out like that before. Branches and trees down all over the place.

Howdy Rob! Howdy er'body. Good swag this time!

Mochi, I like the way you think...

Listening to Monie Love freedtyling gangsta rap on WPRB in ‘95 realizing she’s too full of the milk of human kindness

Ha.

Check out this wild video of a tree going down outside Jammin Crepes during said storm!

I have a great seersucker suit I can no longer fit into. sad. must be replaced.

https://www.instagram.com/jammincrepes/reel/DLGehPDRHSg/?hl=en

I must admit, I love driving thru intense weather, mostly.

I don't mind it, Roffle but this was next level.

DJ Tenderloin I did not greet you! Until now!

I always assume you have greeted me in your heart...

Yes, the "hello!" should be assumed always.

BTW - so close now to finishing that POTA mix project. 5 mixes. like the movies! Anyway you'll be first on the list

waza

Yo Matty.

SUP

This new TFS album might be their most cohesive yet? I liked it a bunch.

just back from chopping sweet potatoes, what did i miss? got my stuff today, wore my hat to walk the dog already.

I have been wearing the hat proudly as well. Going out of town for a few days and bringing with. We'll see if anyone notices...

TFS! Fitting for these melty days

What's the endgame for these sweet potatoes?

Yeah, way melty record come to think of it.

Hat? There's a hat? Cool

Jon, yikes about being pushed off the road. We had a similar storm or similar storms go through the DC area before dinner on Thursday... our neighborhood lost power for 5 hours. A tree fell on our neighbor's roof and he was walking up to his house and saw it happen live.

Wow.

Why is D.C. the monsoon capital of America?

roasted with herbs and butter, maybe on the grill cuz its too hot to run the oven.

Delicious. We had some great corn done similarly last night.

Also, how did I forget to mention today marks SIX MONTHS UNTIL CHRISTMAS?!

i still wear the old green hoodie all the time.

hey jon, can i ask you a question?

You can certainly ask!

do you ever play Silkworm? seems like never if ever. Is it an ethics thing?

That's a great question.

I can't play any of their records I have any sort of financial stake in per station rules. So, that takes a few off the board. I think if you check past playlists I do play them a fair bit. I need to spin my recently acquired 2xLP of Firewater while I still can!

ah, so it is a Station thing. Got it.

this band sounds like mogwais

i can bug all the other DJs though....

Oh for sure!

Looks like I last played them (non-Xmas) in July of 2024.

https://keepingscoreathome.com/?p=5523

Pat!

i was able to discover them due to you and the EA forum, and I thank you very much for that. I am so sorry I missed them in the 90s.

I always start my show with a Silkworm song when it is the program closest to when Michael died. Will be 20 years next month. Jeez.

seems like just the other side of COVID

Sun City Girl, Singularly

Jimboooooo!

Jonboooooo💥💥💥

My other life is all about Markov processes. The past does not inform the future in Markov time series

I'll read up on that, Mochi.

No grandfather paradox for time travelers

SlugWeed! Thanks Jon! Youdabest. TURN IT UP NJ PA DE EARTH

This is another Matt Sabbath special!

slugweed, huh? kilslug meets weedeater. i dig.

Hello...sorry for not emailing you Jon. Hope it was a great show!

Lol

Weedeater!! bonkers band, oldmotorbikeguy

No need to be sorry, a good time was had for sure. Will talk about it next mic break.

Gettin' deep in the sludge.

damn right Roff, fits this sludgey heat

That tracks

wprb forevah! this heat shall not last but wprb will. MUSCLES.

stankfacing

Play the heavy one.

Coming right up!

DubNP LOLOLOLOL

now that's a transition...

yeah my guitar seeking nerve is gasping for breath

Minor vibe shift

woo, thunder west of the boro! dark clouds!

oldmotorbikeguy yessssssssssssss

the b&w photo makes it look like a 1982 hardcore show.

Ok, Jon. I want to make sure I heard you correctly, the running advice was to eat pizza. I usually go with ice cream but I’ll try this new regimen. Also heading to see pro darts at MSG this Saturday. Any food suggestions in that area?

I am ready Jon. I have my Kraftwerk Xmas Mashups done. Mostly done.

afternoon. can't wait for a cooling storm up here in new york.

so much great stuff outta Australia

Hey Dale! Hey GW!

GW if you want quality pizza the best slice in NYC is right by MSG.

ow, my neck

https://nypizzasuprema.com

My niece lives above a pizza place and she is often worried that ever article of clothing she puts on

Reeks of pizza

This seems like a blessing not a curse.

she probably has a lot of guys following her around.

I read this article that said there was a study and the number one scent that attracted men was....cinnabon.

No so much for the dating scene. She opens her gym locker after working out and gets blasted by pepperoni!

very hungry all of a sudden

I wish Hoagie Haven would sell their olive oil / vinegar / spice blend as a perfume. Just a dab behind each ear before you go out...

@DJ Tendeloin…Sal Goodman was a ladies man for sure!

@GW Carbo - so where is this locker? I could kinda use a pepperoni blast. God I love pepperoni.

I like the good pepperoni that curls up and becomes little cups of grease. now i am hungry

sven has this one note down fairly well.

brief rainstorm has ended in hw boro, look out lawrence, you are gonna get a sprinkle

the pauses in this piece make it the special thing that it is.

I love that is all part of a longer piece.

Great stuff

I over-did it on Saturday morning / afternoon (South Jersey funeral -> very sunny Juneteenth cookout with a pizza + ice cream in-between) and feel asleep listening to this before I went to the show in Metuchen.

good point Dale, we call those "gone" moments in the meditative practices

Descartes the puppetmaster

the pineal gland madman

Dehorse.

meanwhile in NJ https://www.moriareviews.com/rongulator/wp-content/uploads/Body-Melt-1993-poster.jpg

Thanks, Starburst Magazine!

Lol Jon

Descartes always was puttin Descartes before da horse, dat fukn guy

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francine_Descartes Descartes built an automaton of his deceased young daughter. Only the tip of the bonkers iceberg in Philosophy.

Annabelle Part 9: Descartes' Daughter

Woah.

always look forward to hearing yer engineering chops, Jon, champ

Listen for the moment at some point during this set where Amy's keys fall out of her pocket. We left it in because it felt like a moment worth keeping.

(I don't specifically know when it happens, exactly.)

Lol!

like the strong winds picked up on Bonnie Prince B's "Love Comes to Me"

barbara dane had that great husky voice.

There go the keys!

Ooh, I know this as a Robert Plant song-digging this version!

Pethie in the chat now, Pethie on your radios soon!

Eek!!!!

This was a great show, Jon. Have a great trip out west, we'll catch you next month!!

Thanks, Rob. Pethie is next. Be well, all.
