Happy Friday everyone

Hi John! The station is not streaming right now

I'll tell the powers that. be

And I'm too far away to get into my car and listen to it :-(

yeah the stream is down. looks like im headed for wfmu

Try back soon

I will too. I'm listening to the last song that Jen played, then I may head for WFMU, or to KALX

It's back up. When Jen's last song is over, I'll switch on WPRB for real

Working on it

Hey team, does anyone know around when the stream died?

(I see that it is back now.)

Great work...thanks

4:54 I believe

Jen’s last mic break

that song was so rocking it must have knocked us off the internet

Thanks Mike! It started streaming here about 4 minutes ago

Shattered the series of tubes

That is what happened. Our power flickered while I was playing it on Bandcamp ;-)

OK, thanks.

You got it!

I loved the Mudhoney, and the Lesibu Grand sounded like it could possibly be a Bad Moves song from their first album that I haven't heard

yeah, I see the similarities,too.

Just my luck, the 1 in a hundred times I decide to stream PRB it went out. Back on my 3rd floor with the FM band!

What’s the best way to stream WPRB? So far I’ve been using Safari browser on iMac and iPhone. Too many ads on Tune In.

We are back on the internet. I just follow our website's directions and go there on my phone.

@John Coffey, on my MacBook Pro I stream on Apple Music formerly iTunes, installing it or transferring it from my previous laptop 5 years ago. 1/3

On my laptop web brower I use https://player.streamguys.com/wprb/sgplayer/player.php 2/3

lor https://www.radiorethink.com/tuner/?stationCode=wprb&stream=hi&listennow 3/3

thanks Rob

streamguys stream, radiorethink also says what song is playing

My wife listens to radio sometimes in the car on her iPhone, on the $10 per month version of TuneIn /end

so many ways to enjoy WPRB

Thanks Rob MD, I just dumped Apple Music. It was wrecking havoc on my library files. I'm just gonna listen to stuff on Youtube and if I like it' I'll buy in on Bandcamp.

tobias Tobias TOBIAS

This is tempting to play mu former theme song. It's been awhile. Thanks for tuning. Oh, It's too late to play it tonight.

Thank's J Tobias, website browser seems easy enough. I feel so lucky together PRB on an FM stereo.

Sure, I just mention the various ways during the next DJ break.

just = should

The tour on TV…WPRB on speakers..good way to start weekend

New one from Automatic nice. Like that 80s keys sound

Sept 26 Foundry in Phila just saw on Automatic's website. Love that lp from few years back "Excess"

Sgt. Papers is great too

Thanks, Brian I'll mention the show on air. I'm a fan of their stuff.

Sgt Papers Only Smarts Cub Bland

SOunds like a night, Carlos.

Jimboooo, I'm sure it came up at their band meetings.

John Coffey: on phone I entered the actual radio station's stream url into my Poweramp music player app. On home pc I enter the stream url into good ol Llama whupin' Winamp player as a "playlist" entry. For finding the actual stream url that can be tricky (it is not the website url). For wprb it is https://wprb.streamguys1.com/live

I like using a digital music player app because you can get an equalizer going. Helps a lot with the diff levels that diff stations put out.

Carlos, I will watch highlights later tonight.

I think I forgot to mention NRBQ, oops, next time.

Ya great NRBQ tune that. Guitar tone love. Big AL. Never got to see them back in the day. A bit too young for them in the heyday

Thx Brian D, am no longer in radio airwave range, so struggle to get a reliable stream

they are newish to me, but I like what I've heard.

@John Coffey, bummer/yay. My non-radio music listening is generally discover/listen to something on YouTube and maybe buy it on Bandcamp. I've never used Apple Music except to listen to radio stations.

emo second wave-ish

Pinkshift tour dates here: https://www.pinkshiftmd.com/tour

Damn, thanks Rob.

Asbury Park (Asbury Lanes) on October 10, Philly (First Unitarian Church) Nov 15

Nothing in NYC

No prob John. My neighbor likes them and I've been this close to getting their music and seeing them. So I zoomed over to their website. Maybe I will at the Atlantis in November?

Sad lyrics with upbeat music

Last cola...

Cool song

Agrred. I ilke it, too.

Dead Bars. I gotta look 'em up. Sounded a little like the singer from Sponge. Remember them? 90s band.

I do remember them. Dead Bars other songs are in the same vein of what I just played.

Will always LOVE Sweet

Same

Haha When I was in third grade, the teacher would like play records on rainy days when we couldn't go out for recess. And this song she could never play because all the kids would be bouncing around the room like going nuts.

Teacher of the year

Oh yeah Miss Powers. Every kid that went to Sharpe school and Cherry Hill, New Jersey's first crush. She was something…

Early to mid 70s

Perfect is the perfect description for that song.

yup, it's full of rock and roll joy

Ballroom Blitz is a wonderful song indeed

agreed

In the 80s wall-to-wall sound, the music store would have a cut out bin of cassettes and I bought Desolation Boulevard for like $.50. I had a van a customize van and a really bitch and sounds system. It was like the 80s but I was like a throwback to the 70s somehow and we'd be driving around blasting Sweet.

the pride of cherry hill

Haha. But then I had pretty much escaped Cherry Hill.

escaped with Sweet on 11

Tune in Monday at 3 pm

Great show, John, ty

Thanks, Rob
