now it's my turn to play some songs :)

America's Mayor Frank Rizzo

Hi again Dana Bash the Front!

Hey Ossy! I feel like I was just here!

May not the 4th be with this day of July

Haha yeah

Desperate Bicycles: the official soundtrack of Hoagiefest 2025

Thank you for playing The Mice.

You should see if LL Cool J wants to stop by The Barge, since he is now free.

Hey Dana!!!!!!!! Been lookin' forward to this show all week!!

Hey Alan! Hey Jon! Yes, Cool James is here with me

Labor Loves Cool James

Happy Whiskey Tango Foxtrot 4th!!

We are all LL Cool Jay today

happy Dana K double shot!

Dana: Grill up some Bologna, same thing!

I could go for some pork roll

hi richard!

Yoni - And philly's Jazmine Sullivan, who's not also performing at wawa for America

mac cheese, fried fish, funnel cake, sundae, barbecue for me

Hi Dana. Can I request "Born To Die" by MDC?

And hi everyone

I forgot to mention that this show overlaps a little with Jen's!

Hey Dana!

Hi Rob! Hi Marcus!

Overlapping with Jen is totally good!

Hi Rob! Catbirds are wearing out the birdbath, but haven't heard a wren at all this year...and you???

Hi Alan! Our catbirds are fledging and acting even bolder than usual. We have a House Wren nesting across the street, and Carolina Wrens are almost as close. When we visited my MiL, an adult Bald Eagle flew over us

Bald eagles! AMERICA

Greg Norton’s new band (featuring Scott Reynolds of ALL) will probably play a bunch of Hüsker Dü when they appear Monday at TV Eye (1647 Weirfield St, Ridgewood, NY). Also on the bill: Christy Costello (of the Von Bondies), The Dracu-Las and Shane Shane.

This was my first July 4 Bald Eagle in many many years. Clearly I need to get out more

🤘

I heard another DJ play that same Sado-Nation song two hours ago.

Wasn't on WPRB

As well as that Hüsker Dü song!

Who's stealing my show?

Yes yes, y'all. Don't back the front! Ever!

That's right!!

It's A Philly Green Thing 💚💚💚💚

Dot Dash Mixed Vol. 3 slays hard

It's really good.

I get so wound up with this show. I love it so much. Thanks @dana

Hell yeah, you're welcome, Chris!

Did anyone here get to see Kilynn Lunsford in Flemington last week?

I saw her at PhilaMOCA last month...or was it two months ago?

"smash the Mac" by Crass is one of my favorite anti-American punk songs but it's kind of impossible to play on the radio because of all the cursing. It's also one of the most comprehensive anti american punk songs since it has a million lyrics.

Woo Culturcide! And thanks for playing the MDC!

@Scooter - that's a GREAT one. I really struggled with weeding out songs with curses for this one - had to edit a few.

You're welcome, Rob!

Wave that Flag!

Hello folkster

I’m Uncle Sam that’s who I am aka Dad

Thought that might be you, Dad!

I haven’t seen Bratmobile’s Alison Wolfe since she was in Partyline two decades ago. I saw them thrice, each time opening for Hunchback!

I stole this song from Pethie, who played it on Wednesday

Kenny Larkin's first record was "We Shall Overcome" sampling MLK's speech

Just chillin after grilling got a new Charcoal Weber

I'm jealous of the grilling

Intriguing band name, kneeling in piss and accurate 100% of today

Remember that “new British Invasion” X sang of 42 years ago?

But no 4th of July by X?

And speaking more https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/02/disney-backlash-075.jpg?w=1024

They were specifically slagging off Depeche Mode

I think 4th of July is kind of a boring song. This one is better

WHOA-OH TIME

Okay fair

Yesssss

🔥🔥🔥

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa whoa oh

Hell yeah, Naked Raygun. Whoah-oh!

@Merryfolkster 1 Back to back, chickenshack.

I kind of just want to play more Naked Raygun now...

we just found out that a bunch of fighter jets (F2s and the like) flew over the immediate DC area making lots of noise ... during Jen's show. So of course we didn't hear them ...

Do you have "American" by Pure Hell in the queue?

Lol

@Yoni, I can add it

Death and Pure Hell on the same show is legendary

Great back-to-back

Agent Orange and Saccharine Trust: it's like the Bones Brigade Mix Tape. Now I getta get my deck outta storage

Hiiiii

it's my american hero Commie Francis

I'm playing "fuck the USA" by the exploited in my heart where the FCC can't touch it

I think this is the first time I heard a Saccharine Trust record. Not bad. The two times I saw them in 1984, I thought they were horrible.

fuck yeah commie

Home of the Brave = first song I played on WPRB!

Likewise "bring it to ya" by Paris

(don't play that)

Fuck the FCC specifically

Glad to hear The Avengers, and Eddie & The Subtitles :-))

amazing show, Dana K!

Hi Commy!

Hi Commie!

F the smelly FCC and fascist USA for real, as Taylor Swift song "I Hate It Here" says it

Labor loves clll.

Dang it you get the idea

And hi everyone!!!!

Hi Commie!

Another great back-to-back!

Thank you!

Loved that Billy Bragg track!

Thank you to the Brits

got to drive on the turnpike flanked on both sides by all the fireworks and this soundtrack.

this Country Joe brings back some really bad times memories...

love this song, my parents used to play it on the hi-fi when i was akid

Oh my god the lyrics are haunting. This is such a great show tonight 💙

Hey Colin! Hey TAndy!

My dad was in the chat earlier. I hope he's still listening.

(big John Prine fan)

For fire real ❤🔥

Hi! I've been listening, just haven't had much to say. It's been pretty difficult keeping positive this week, but the feeling will pass.

my dad has called john prine his favorite as well.

No worries. I struggle having anything to say, too. Luckily I have the opportunity to just play music.

I am

That's my pa!

Here's to the State of Mr Poodle

i like to focus on these little pockets of positivity. wprb has been a hot bed of protest and resistance music all day!

I couldn't be more proud to be a part of it.

Hey there, Mr. K!

thing is, when you "drain the swamp" what you're left with is.....scum...

Sonny Terry!

Same, protest/ resistance is love

Now all I need to hear is Utah Phillips and I will be cast a drift in folk fest Bliss.

a lot of those folk selections were staples on the hi-fi for me growing up.

That was awesome

RIP Mick Hobbs (also in Family Fodder, Officer!, Lo Yo Yo, Momes, 1/2 Japanese)

this is awesome

Awesome theme! Precisely how I feel about this country and the world in general!

Thank you, FME (MJ)!

YW, Dana! :D

I find it hard to talk about how I feel about everything. It's all horrible. So - I'm glad I get to just play music about it.

Cool folk set

Thanks, Space Cowboy!

America, fuck yeah! 🤣 We should play that song from that Team America movie. 🤣

Yeah, politics = MANY TICKS = many bloodsuckers!

Fantastic selections Dana

My friends and I sang the Team America theme song a lot on our trip to the UK in high school.

That's FANTASTIC, Dana!!!

Nothing better than this show on the OG Brexit Day!

Now gonna watch Disney's Proud Family episodes, "I Have A Dream" and "Juneteenth" especially with their song that got fascists insane mad "Slavery Built This Country"

Ha! Thanks indeed for the show, Dana! Much appreciated feeling solidarity.

FME - Oh yeah, smelly bloodsucking ticks in the political fascism!

Thank you Dana for a truly Epic show. ☮️ & 🧡 take care and safe drive home..bcnu!

rest in power Jamie branch

Oh hell yeah! Jaimie Breezy Branch FOREVER

Yep, Ossy...I see flea and tick poop everywhere too!

thanks everyone for tuning in tonight!

@ Dana K (host) Thanks for a hardhitting show. Yes, as Pete Seeger once sang, "There Are Mean Things Happenin' in This Land." (Maybe that's a good selection to play next week ..?) God bless America ... and ALL Americans ... in the best, most equal way! :-D

💯💯💯

Thanks Richard!

Goodnight all!

FME - Yesterday was at a community independence-ish park party that was rainy on and off and the place smells like fish from the river and the seafood vendors that relates to the fleas waste you said HAHAH

thanks for the amazing show, DK!! been listening the whole time

LOL Ossy! It's definitely FISHY to me! 🤣

Safe drive home, sweet sock dreams getaway from this stinky wasteful toxic shameful excuse for an independence USA day, Dana

FME - as well the muddy marsh areas from the rain made the park place more smelly!!!

And I know how you are with smells, Ossy!

I'd pass out almost instantly if I were there. LOL.

amazing show, Dana K! will ths be on mixcloud? thank you!

Well, the land of the free has never been really free anyway ...

@Richard, I stopped uploading shows to Mixcloud in general but I might be able to upload this one - gotta check with a few things

Goodnight again all! I am in my car ready to drive home

🖤
