Oh hi.

Did you have a bon voyage?

And bonjour

Rob! My voyage was pretty bon. Been home almost a week, finally caught up.

Sadly missed Dana K.'s fill-in as I returned to NJ but caught almost all of Captain Ahab's!

Cool! You went all the way to Thailand!

Well...we'll get to that.

They were both awesome

Two of the best of the best, for sure.

herro dere.

Yep! In other news, fortunately for us but not for the people affected, the Flash Flood Warning is about 5 miles to our west rather than centered over our neighborhood

Hey Jon. Keeping you in my regular rounds as promised. And being well rewarded..

Oh good. The storm tonight (first since I returned) should travel mostly north of the Barge.

Alex! Great to "see" you here tonight.

Here. we. go.

I see a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for that storm, and a Flash Flood Warning for near Lancaster PA

And omg I just realized exactly who Bill Chamberlain is/was :-(( Sheeeeeet

Yeah, I didn't feel it was fully my story to tell (as I alluded to before I left) but terrible news.

In this video: The Knicks Xavier McDaniels aka The X-Man

Nobody name-checks The X-Man more than Czarface!

I heard this song coming out of a vintage store in Toronto and was excited to rap along with the first line...

I had a girlfriend who had two vinyl records, this and “hey, hey what can I do” by Led Zeppelin

Hey, Marcus!

Welcome back Jon Voyage Charlie Brown

Great to be in the driver's seat again.

Hi Jon! Hi everybody!

jon voyage sounds like an international double naught spy.

Heya Dan!

Dale! Hello!

CCR preached nonstop chooglin

They keep on keeping on.

we used to go chooglin' down by the crick when we were kids. white bread balled up on the hook was a good bait.

My Summer of CCR has been very enjoyable so far. Also discovered I have a bunch of covers in my library I need to review...

Habibi-in' down the road 🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻

sweet lords of the deep I just caught in the nor'easter like a drowned rat

you can find the best fishin holes on Choogle Maps

Jimbooooo in the hooooouse.

*got

Choogle Maps! Lol!

Choogle Street View only shows you Corners.

matt sab, where are you? i'm wonderin about this coming global superstorm

Matt!

Only if you're Fortunate, Son

sky's gettin dark here in philly

Patrick R northwest Dirty Jersey near PA border

Fortunate Son lyrics are incredible, right?

thanks!

Looks like storm is north of Barge until later this evening?

Damn, bring on the rain mah crops are thirstin

Jimboooo exactly

I missed the crazy "nobody go nowhere" storm last Thursday but boy were the alerts alarming.

Guess it turned out to be not much.

i wonder about that jon voyage. i'm south a you and there's a bad cloud on the rise

Which always makes me worry people won't take the next one seriously.

We found yer car, Dude, but no hope for the Creedence tapes. - LAPD

lovin this ryan davis track

Just announced he's coming to Johnny Brenda's in December. Seeing him at Jerry's the winter before last was a special night.

greetings Jon Solomon! greetings chatters! looks like some rain is movin' in

DJ Tenderloin! I have many mixes of yours to stream!

Loved the excerpts you shared but I want to go DEEP.

that you do sir. sorry. ha! hey - can i post a link here?

Duh of course, you've more than earned it.

Jon let's go as deep as the deepsploitation movies of the 80s and 90s. We're talking Peter Weller in that godawful Leviathan movie.

DJ Tenderloin - i owe you an email. time for me to record some Wheels

What was the other one called? Deep Sea Six? Something like that?

DeepStar Six! Great poster.

Jon there are a bunch of 'em. Twas a "thing" as you remember. Early trending pre-internet.

DW - sure man. i'm gone sept. 13 - sept.28 - otherwise good.

https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMDcx/z/TpwAAOSw-CpX9Bcm/$_57.JPG?set_id=8800005007

the world went bananas for undersea monsters in cinema

that is a great poster Jon! I remember it on greazy VHS at ye olde mom & pop vidshoppe

"I can barely tell the cattle roads from the chem trails of our past lives" --- now THAT is songwriting!!!!

dolla dolla billz y'all

Ryan Davis can write a lyric for sure. Sadly, can't make a clean edit of my favorite from new album yet.

whiskey with hail is LITERARY! Biblical! Cormac McCarthy territory!

so for anyone who's interested - 5 - yep, count em' - 5 Planet of the Apes inspired mixes - with a few tendy tracks in there as well DJ TENDERLOIN WANTS YOU TO GO APE https://www.mixcloud.com/DJTenderloin/

(yes, bourbon is in the bible, trust me)

DJ Tenderloin awesome! POTA!

Every time they talk about grain, they really mean whiskey

Jimbooooo LOL

new 75 Dollar Bill album: WHISKEYDRUNK WITH MOSES ATOP THE MOUNTAIN

Pre-ordered.

is he related to that two dollar bill guy?

LOL Jon

I hope everyone had a nice couple of weeks while I was driving around. Please remind me next break to tell two tales related to WPRB that are remarkable in different ways...

Jon dont forget the two tales

i haven't had a good road trip in forever. need a blue highways kind of adventure, stay off the interstates....

Dale H I hearya

When I crossed into Ontario at Port Huron I had so much stuff in the car (picked kid up from a five week summer program) the border dude said "you aren't actually trying to move here.....are you?"

Dale always wear your wprb shirt when on the lost highway

Jon LOL! I remember Dean Ween saying somewhere they've had some issues crossing the canadian border

that last blue prb shirt has become my go -to fave of the moment

It was surprisingly chill coming and going.

Which was a relief.

it should be easy to cross into canada - but of course now i couldn't really blame them for telling us to go f ourselves...

I've had to sit for ages trying to get in / out so to be only a car or two deep was a huge part of it.

wprb shirts are well designed. always get a comment.

I was wearing my WPRB hat at the farmer's market, saw someone in a WPRB shirt, went up and said "nice shirt" with very little reaction.

RAIN.

my fmu 'eat flaming death fascist pigs' shirt gets the most reactions of any tee i've ever worn. well, i had a farrah fawcett tee in high school and i got ridicule for that so it wins for the most attention.

the most reactions to a shirt - my wife got me a Mr. Softee ice cream shirt with the crazy ice cream cone man logo. folks just seem to love it

chooglin!

Farrah Fawcett!

mr.softee evokes something in everyone. except commies. they don't like mr. softee.

YES!!!

it is incredible

LOL Dale

i ran into a girl i knew in college five years later in brooklyn. we ended up having sex. don't tell my wife.

LOL

WPRB tees have RFID tags embedded that cause them to steer towards each other

i hadn't even met my wife yet so don't look down on me.

Lol

I hope I captured how wild and random this run-in was. Man, I wish I had some leftover pizza.

Speaking of WPRB merch, I submitted my artwork for the Fall offering

Oh nice.

was it thick crust?

Someone around here suggested "hey why don't you ..." then I saw the Call For Entries and felt obligated (thanks everyone)

Caramel crust deep dish.

wow this is super cool

I think everyone will enjoy this: https://youtu.be/8kVYdLjoyPE?si=sEX1Jur2_aR5jtfN

@dale https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/28681/mister-softee-jingle-has-lyrics

Mike, I keep meaning to listen to this. Think you sent it to me? If not, please do!

Maybe, on your IG? It's an amazing Kenya Guy singing Warpigs.

Mike & Randy - both excellent links! bookmarked for later

If you can please email me the link tomorrow?

who knew Mr. Softee had lyrics?

Sure thing!

RZA did the new Good Humor song.

i remember that band in the 80s that did a punk version of the food emporium song.

what!!

googled - the sea monkeys.

Sea Monkeys!

https://www.reddit.com/r/punk/comments/2i7apb/the_sea_monkeys_food_emporium_laid_over_the/

Leonids! I looked for comets on fire last night but too moonbright

nice chune Jon! Ozzy

Planet Caravan is a groover too

Black Jazzath 🎷🦇

Get yr Perseids on, stargazers

Saw some impressive lightning in the sky just now, east of here.

nice! I miss the heat lightnin of Georgia (silent)

Tuluum Shimmering also does a Planet Caravan that's 2-3x longer than what we heard...

ooooo nice!

Nihilistic bastards!

haaaaa Mike T

Really enjoyed the Psychic Temple.

1000 homo djs!!!!

This might be the best (Black Sabbath cover there is or otherwise).

Chef Patti yessssss

I once heard this played at a San Francisco Giants game to pump up the crowd. It was...unexpected!

Zappa loved Supernaut

Thanks, all. Hello, Chef!

By all accounts, Charles Bradley has recorded the greatest Sabbath cover of all time

It is so good I've had many around me not know it was a cover.

missus dale and i are discussing how this should be used in a commercial for menopause meds....debating which female artist should sing it.

dayum

RM - agreed. this might be the best BS cover. does sweat loaf count?

@dale THAT is brilliant!!!

listening to this as a thunderstorm goes by overhead, ironically this song is making it feel almost a little peaceful haha

It came down to Sweat Loaf or the next song for the set closer.

Stay safe, Hara!

No Xmas Sabbath? Alas!

December for sure.

I can hardly wait!

yesssssssss

Great cover set!. You maintain your Eisbaer champion belt.

randy - i worked in advertising. you steal shit when and where you can.

@dale "debating which female artist should sing it." For my own amusement I'm working up a re-envisioning of the AARP log, and looking at Punk/Pop-Punk artists who are 50-60 y/o; I might have to look into some more female artists who may be in the peri- state of things --- how old is Gwen Stefani? Brody Dale? Kathleen Hannah?

Sweat Loaf is awesome too

there's a bunch of Ozzy xmas station IDs and PSA's too. I can send to you - but you probably already have

@dale - so did I!!! That's why I have a therapist LOL

https://tuluumshimmering.bandcamp.com/album/planet-caravan

Sweat Loaf!! classic

DJ Ten nice!!

I shared this a couple weeks ago...maybe Jon didn't see it https://images.app.goo.gl/4U6jHcKakHmrZHfB9

gwen is mid 50s, so just perfect.

Dj Ahab went to Mapledurham Mill !

Totally off topic, but funny https://images.app.goo.gl/e2t4U4ptDQCuQunw8

I had *not* seen that, Mike. Appreciate the re-up.

Believe I have both years of Ossy IDs / PSAs, DJ Tenderloin!

nice!!

654 PM EDT Wed Aug 13 2025 The National Weather Service in Mount Holly has issued a * Flash Flood Warning for... Northwestern Burlington County, Southeastern Bucks County, Southeastern Montgomery County, and Philadelphia County

well thats not good

Off to dinner - great show Jon - everyone have a safe, enjoyable evening - cheers - stay safe!

... until 11 pm tonight. Some locations that may experience flash flooding include... Philadelphia, Bensalem, Willingboro, Florence, Burlington, Bristol, Mount Holly, Riverside, Palmyra, Jenkintown, Narberth and Bordentown.

oh chit I have a cousin in Mt Holly

Your cousin may be ok, but, ...

Thanks for the update, Rob.

Skies have lightened here, actually. Still raining.

the storm's a little louder (and harsher in general) than i expected haha

Sure thing, Jon. After witnessing what a flash flood did to my local stream park a few Saturdays ago, I am even more conscious/alert when a Flash Flood Warning is issued

Looking at the Delaware from my perch in West Trenton happy to alert no where near floodlevel

That's reporting!

😇

@hara, be careful! @Inspector, the flooding could affect every-day roads and highways as well as rivers.

And good that the Delaware isn't at flood level

Knocking it out of the park w/ strange indie! Ty!

You're welcome. Hope the show I had to miss was a good one!

It was really fun! There was WPRB love expressed and also a WPRB representative at the show!

Is that Jandek-talk?

The Representative from WPRB.

Right, i got it! Lol

I was confident that if *anyone* would get it...

Instead of a fedora and cufflings the repsentative was wearing black/bleached tye dye

Trying to guess who it was by the 'fit is a dangerous game.

Are they on the current schedule?

DJ Czar. We're talking turkey rn abt some sorta dj/band collab.

I don't think I've met them in person yet.

Sorry I let the cat out of the bag b4 seeing yr last msg, keeping the guessing game going

You saved me hours of work. Is OK!

We heard the show a couple times. It was cool. Also fx on the mic breaks is really excellent.

@dale "gwen is mid 50s, so just perfect." Ashley Tisdale from High School Musical (and Sea Girt) just turned 40; let THAT break your brain for a minute

"Me please"

Chris, the tickets are YOURS.

Another superb show, Jon, thanks!

Please email me tomorrow and I'll send your info to the band. Thanks so much!

Yay! Thanks!

I got my first WPRB swag in 1982, I think: a copy of the Psychedelic Furs' first lp, for having sent in my list of top 10 records of 1981

I won so many tickets on WPRB / WTSR to shows I couldn't go to.

No driver's license when I won all these tickets didn't help!

And I hope everybody stays dry!

Then there was the show by Steve Albini's post-Big Black band I won tickets to but my mom wouldn't let me go because it was Shabbat (oddly, the band name wasn't the dealbreaker).

@Chris: my favorite song on that Furs album "Flowers" - thanks for reminding me

Not going to a show is sometimes more memorable than going!

I did get a poster, at least.

Thanks Jon!

You are all quite welcome.

thank you jon! have a lovely rest of your night (-:

You as well. The slog home begins shortly....
