"pond song" by Wet Leg. Jon Solomon Wed Jul 16 with Jon Solomon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Wednesday has arrived once more.

That's a good thing. Hi Jon!

Hello!

Rock it ignition

sup yall! mj if you're still here, we'll discuss next week! how's it goin jon

🚀

Hi Jon! Human Radio Station sets the tone!

Michael! Alex!

Why watch anything BESIDES "JAWS?"

I'm with you, Randy

Perhaps a pdf is needed to make this Jaws viewing regime a bit more clear.

Once saw a Planet of the Apes marathon in the theater. They went numerical order ("1-5") ending in Battle for the Planet of the Apes.

Do laser sharknados count?

Trick answer but likely correct answer, Randy.

Hi Richard, hi Randy, hi GW!

jaws the revenge wit Michael Caine

I was just thinking of a sharknado x pulp fiction Mashup (disjointed timelinewise)

There's a great quote from Caine about that movie (that may or may not be true).

Saw Dinosaur Jr. last

Basically "I didn't see the movie, but I saw the house it paid for."

night. Lead singer for opener Easy Action looked a lot like a cross between Nick Cave and Walton Goggins. Intense dude.

John Brannon, right?

SUPER INTENSE dude. How was the show?

Howdy Jon and everyone!

First few bars of this reminded me of "Woman's Got The Power"

Hey Rob! Great to see everyone checking in.

In Brazil ‘farofa’ is ground dried yucca seasoned used as accompaniment for meats and bbq

@Jon, on my morning walk I wore the 25-hour Marathon t-shirt I bought last December. It was so thin, so comfy, and so not July.

Excellent. My ticket said show at 6:30. I sent my girlfriend a picture at 6:54 as I walked in. Missed the opener! He sang last song with J. Very warm evening. J said it was effecting his pedals.

Then, after I showered, I wore the New Jersey "punk bars" tee I purchased on July 4. Another fabulous shirt!

Appreciate you reppin', Rob.

Waza! Jon I am seeking One Cut of the Dead; had a traumatic experience watching bonkers mexican film The Untamed (2016).

Sounds tasty, Mochi.

Matt, do you have Shudder?

I listened to Deirdre's show from 7/9/25 on rebroadcast and it's phenomenal. WPRB rules

Jon, I used to but I dont anymore....

I got it for a $1 rental from Xfinity when they sent me a "rent a movie for a buck" coupon. The re-make came from the public library.

a fine afternoon to you.

Jon NICE! this We Contain Multitudes hits the spot after yardwork and cooldown

Haven't thought about Walt Mink or Bitch Magnet in some time

Dale! Dale! Dale!

@Rob - New Jersey "punk bars" is that the one w/NJ staggered lime the Black Flag um, flag?

Love when the pedigrees that are posted contain all bands I never heard of. Like a super fun homework assignment.

Randy LOL

*like

Alex C good point! I just discovered that there's a punk rock database for Rapid City, SD, of all places. Treasures abound. WPRB is the miner.

Alex, I love to try and offer ways to connect dots / draw lines when I can.

That's how I learn/ed!

locked in. spacerock approved!

2,000+ flyers are archived in Ithaca, NY https://digital.library.cornell.edu/collections/punkflyers

jelly kneed

This drone is great

oldmotorbikeguy spacerock! yessssss @randy awesome!

OMBG!

droney, now doomy and gloomy. nice!

It's got a gone epic thread

I HAVE begun doodling some "things" for the WPRB Fall Drive, #JSYK

WCM going into Earth territory!

Great link, Randy.

punk rock flyers library would be money better spent than a presidential library.

Cometbus AND Kugelberg!

Dale H word

Jon S nice reference! Me & Aaron Cometbus have been occasional penpals. That dude is true school.

I love how Jon is good at playing slowburn tracks that blossom into pure awesomeness, like this one

There was a hardcore punk album cover a long time ago that was a compilation of flyers…was it Black Flag?

I appreciate that this is the album OPENER!

fuck yeah that's how to open an album

Mochi S sounds vaguely familiar!

First Four Years perhaps?

Randy M thanks for the link, gonna dive deep into that pit

You are correct Jon!

@Randy, yes!

Black Flag's most awesome flyer (and no disrespect to Raymond Pettibone) was for a show at Phillys East Side Club https://www.instagram.com/p/DFtQKxHSsg3/?img_index=8&igsh=eWQydnI3bHVzcTA5

I believe it was Sharpie + lunch bag

I laughed when I scrolled to it, Randy.

Sharpie + lunch bag manifesto

that typewritten show review!

Didn't General Washington write the Declaration of Independence on a lunch bag with a Sharpie after taking care of that hessian scum at Christmas?

Needless to say - I was there

saw minutemen at irving plaza in the mid 80s. i should have paid more attention but i was loaded.

Randy M NICE! True school. Dayum.

At the club, not Trenton w/GW

Not THAT old

Dale H LOL! I had the same experience after being overserved before hearing The Fall play. It happens.

Henry wrote about East Side Club in "Get In The Van"

Dale, if you can remember the 80’s you weren’t doing it right

Extensive ESC stories in Nancy Barile's book "I'm not holding your coat" (RIP Al)

LOL Mochi S excellent inversion of the ol' boomer mantra

this could be a lonnie holley thing.

Arthur Russell is whole notha level

Used to listen to Arthur Russell while painting a giant mural on my son's wall and getting progressively wasted. Ah, the days.

That's quite the short story.

Murad Najah! Nice find, Jon. That persian pink floyd cover you played still blows my mind

Whole comp finally came out on the 4th. Expect a bunch of it in future weeks!

londonbeat -istan?

Bitch Magnet is a great name. Almost as good as “up in it” as an album name (afghan wigs)

this song is gonna summon the great Dj Jen

Mochi S I recall a California band called 16 Bitch Pile-Up which also made me chuckle

I think Jen might be on vacation but I welcome a summoning.

I can't remember how or when I learned that "double nickels on the dime" meant 55mph on I-10

Randy LOL

(police officer raps his knuckles on the window, with calm superiority): OK then, keep it double nickels on the dime.

enjoying mr. adams.

I think is a radio debut for this song.

Great album description. Fock I remember those days

evening jon

Yo Ossy!

🔥🌟

Was Mike Adams a DJ at 104.5 or am I thinking of someone else?

This Bitter Wish is excellent drone a la Water Damage and Sunburned Hand of the Man

🤘🤘🤘!

Mike Adams does a show in southern Indiana I believe.

Mmmm...bitter, bitter wish

Did somebody mention John Brannon? Negative Approach play tonight at TV Eye (1647 Weirfield St, Ridgewood, NY) with No Idols, Who Pays and the Tarrys.

Then on Thursday, Easy Action play with Dinosaur Jr and Snail Mail in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Saturday, those same 3 groups play the Stone Pony Summer Stage (909 Ocean Ave N, Asbury Park, NJ).

Hi, Jimbo. Thank you, David.

this is nice, the softer side of the evening....

yesssssss Negative Approach. Check it out!

Second time hearing this Mike Adams (was driving joke from work), I’m gonna have to pick that up.

Thisss is nice

Hi chat :)

Mary, I got scooped by a day! Calling it a "radio debut."

Pup, totally cribbed this from a different WPRB DJ playing it last week. Serious jam.

Onyeabor never misses a jam

Such a great catalog of tracks

well-crated evening mr. deejay man.

curated. may be in crates for all i know.

Jon, I think that’s more than fair, terrestrial radio is still the gold standard in my book.

Agreed. Also, I was told I couldn't play it until after the 15th!

13 Songs is a Fugazi album

Just saw Easy Action, Snail Mail, and Dino last night. John joined Dino for an encore! It

ah a loud/quiet/loud band, a good challenge for an engineer, and I'm sure Jon performed admirably

GW was also there, Jimbooooo!

was in western Mass, so Dino jr folks all lived within 20: minutes of the gig

GW?

(GW from the chat earlier tonight.)

Well all right! I was pleasantly surprised...told my son I was hoping for at least 3 songs total from first three albums and I got 3x that

@Mary's comment reminded me that it was Mike JONES I was thinking of; evening drive dj at 1045

Aha!

As I said, been a while since I commuted; things got rusty upstairs in the noggin box

#solved

Good band, Jon, I like em

band name: Noggin Box

Foggin' Box

Hotbox

The Foggy Noggin Fraggle Rock Band

Box UK (Britbox)

Band name: cementHead; album name "Upstairs in the Noggin Box"

All the love songs on the new Wet Leg feel like they were written by someone who has only been in love once. I hope that makes sense!

great album cover pic

The listening party alternate cover art might be better.

Lol!

Nice selection selections tonight. Thanx

Thank YOU, Roffle!

Thanks Jon! I really must adjust my priorities to include this show more often.

I agree!

You too, Rob.

A nice relaxing one to finish on.
