Recherché Thu Sep 4 with Readie Righteous on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Respect, mi queens and kings! Chat is open!

🇯🇲🇯🇲💚💛🖤🇯🇲🇯🇲

....must remember to clock into work tomorrow... it is not Fridee... it is not 5pm....

right Brian D! welcome, 1st in!

lunch not supper! lol

i am converting SGML technical documentation to XML (S1000D) format

that patois pidgin parlance is just so wonderful

Hey Larry , I am duly impressed! Sounds like fun!

I'm planning to have lunch at Pho 75 in Rockville in about 50 minutes.

I love the patois! But then, I love all languages/dialects!

Paste options.... Paste without formatting.... Paste Formula Only.... Paste your face into the desktop and leave an imprint...

BAM! MY BRAIN IS CONFUSED WHAT TIME IT IS!

we are very fortunate to have three Pho places within a 10 minute drive

Pho! yum!! Rockville, Maryland, Larry?

.... Paste Pho into mouth ... Paste Chili Paste on top of Pho...

yes, rockville, maryland.

Hey Readie!! Chao Readie!!! (Today's Vietnamese word is Chao, Alina'a show) :)

Bri - 🤣🤣

i heard alina speak of "Chao"

Hey Chef! welcome to lunchtime IRIE VIBES!

YES Chao everyone!! very cool!

My life is many spreadsheets, conversions, pasting without formatting and communicating with my great distant co-workers in Southeast Asia (and other nations). Sadly the translate feature removes (most of) their original words in Vietnamese, Korean, Thai etc....

Selecta Jerry ripping up the podcasts of late. I have hit up the past 9 outta 10 or so... saw he popped into chat yesterday. Always a good time. Tradition to get in the car for a Jersey Shore road trip (or any destination really...) and have a pre-downloaded SoTC podcast ready to blast in the audio player on the phone

Sadly, I hear that, Brian - nice, though, to have overseas connections!!! Time difference a big challenge, yes?

i have a spreadsheet open to track personal progress... to amuse myself i find obscure unicode characters to use instead of check marks and bullets 🐈

Yes, Selecta Jerry is a weekly download for me as well...great to be able to pause and not miss any chunes!

THURSDAYS!

Time to wake up!! 📢📢📢📢📢📢!!

Not too bad to get used to the time change. You know that certain things will be answered / resolved (hopefully) the next business day. But ... many times those late-nighters over there are answering my emails sent at 8-10 am Eastern Time... I am amazed they still respond at that hour(s) over there....

Hey Alan! seein' ya!!

A Righteous surprise! Could be mistaken for either a Friday afternoon or a Selecta Saturday show from the past!

Hey Jon Solomon! welcome to u & Thursday Crew!

Respect to Jon in the chat..🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

@Travis, so true mi bredda! ganjarado bless up!

@Bri- work ethic around the globe!

Check out the sweet new Fall WPRB schedule with art by Helen Huer! Gorge! www.wprb.com

Hail up Helen!

@Larry - are you considered a "tech writer"?

no, readie, i am a software engineer, i'm working a pilot conversion project that will eventually be handed off to tech writers.

Larry- Ah! cool! I used to be on the tech writer end of the physicists & engineers at the Physics lab...one of my fave jobs!

Fall skedge artwork: Very nice! Fall skedge font and font size.... oh well can't win em all

i suppose you have used LaTeX then?

@Brian - where are those pharmacy magnifiers with the animal print plastic frame-age?!?!?🤣

Right! Except readers and computer monitor screens equal headache for me. CTRL + mouse scroll knob to rescue....

heh... just checked and the zoom did not help. Still a muddy font that maybe does not need to be BOLD and... some questionable lower cases but hey I do that too so oh well.

@Larry - not familiar with LaTeX. I was involved in process management mainly- which involved clarifying procedures used in the field, step-by-step, corrections & clarifications and re-writing via Google docs for collaboration.

@Brian - tech solutions to the rescue....being somewhat familiar with the WPRB fam, context will help, indubitably!

dub my good friends, in-DUB-itably

Gwaan Readie Gwaan! 🔥🔊🎶 dub it

AHHHH! Hail up Selecta Jerry!!!! "welcome. on. in.!

There he is! Welcome SJ!

Selecta J. summonization complete!!

Greetings Readie! Brian D big up

Yeah Readie! Big up on the Slackers Dub version

Selecta Jerry in the chat!!!!

I hope they did not print up glossy mailer schedules with that font and the text they have on the skedge so far...I think the tech team proof read team needs a look-see

Yeah! Slackers!! hiya Big Jarret!

Sup Jerry! Are you still Dj’ing these days?

Good morning, Readie! (Still morning here in Green Bay 🤣). Just having a chill day.

Selecta! Guelo!

Thanks Jon S! So nice of you too check. I love the artwork on the schedule. And a fine schedule this season it is

thx Jon!!

Repo Man Station ID!

Such beautiful recordings down that Jamaica way. They know how to layer the audio cake

I still marvel at the production prowess of Lee "Scratch" Perry blending the sample of a crying baby into perfect riddim with the song, not just a sample, but another "instrument"

I have been going down the Lee Perry rabbit hole lately. Thanks to your show recently and also recent compilations of his producitons and his own solo releases.

The song - "People Funny Boy" - amazing!

That was the one that got me diving down the hole!

Jenifer Lara 🔥

@Bri- very cool - that song blew my mind - 1968 vintage!

a sublime bashment jawn!

I remember Selecta Jerry's tribute to Lee Perry back when he was on this here station. Driving through backroads of Jerz on our way to the King Crimson show at the Holmdel NJ Space Ship venue. Early Sept 2021.... good times...

Trying to find the article I read recently about the person who programmed the keyboard sound that was sampled in a ton of reggae tracks.

Found it!

https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-topics/g02027/

indeed, Brian D - great times!!

Okuda Hiroko: The Casio Employee Behind the “Sleng Teng” Riddim that Revolutionized Reggae

That's her! Jon was quick. Found this NYT article as well.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/arts/music/sleng-teng-wayne-smith-reggae.html

so cool, Jon - I used to have a Casiotone, a little mini version of what Hiroko is holding! wish I still had it!!!!

Read about that and loved hearing her story about that famous Sleng Teng sound

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/best-reggae-riddims-1234951483/

Read about that riddim in this article too:

Readie: You mean this casiotone??? here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/226668963995?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=226668963995&targetid=2299003535955&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9007178&poi=&campaignid=22606598097&mkgroupid=180833411032&rlsatarget=pla-2299003535955&abcId=10333153&merchantid=6296724&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22606598097&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8eTFBhCXARIsAIkiuOwuUFR-s0lHjg_1MRETW-Ej9ewwgW-Lq4jrnOMRhTowH1fiB6TuTroaAslBEALw_wcB

Horn lines in this are just so beautiful

@Alan- lol, no, it was a bigger version, the keys were way bigger... but those Casiotones are so fine...Love Love Love

( I still have mine 'cause I almost never throw anything out LOL)

(still works BTW)

I'll have to do some research to see if I can figure what model it was. so cool yours still works!

Beep beep beep, no chords tho has a memory!

Ahhh it is this! That first line sure sounded like Even More Than Yesterday... lovely

I have an 88-key Casio noe with an awesome cathedral organ sound...fun, but really I miss the lil' guy1

Jackie Mittoo is a treasure.... talk about keyboards whew....the true Champion in the Arena

Jackie Mittoo- organ king!

*one*

Spear! 🔥🎶

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Heard this track for the first time on wprb in the late 80’s

Blew me away

Wow! SJ that is going back a ways in WPRB history!

Yeah I’m old

Jerry Gordon alert! Nat Birchall 🎷

nawwwww, never, SJ! this music keeps us young 4-evah!

Used to tape the shows on cassettes and carry them with me all week.

Yes, JG shares my love of Nat Birchall!

A DJ named Bear maybe? .Then there was Rich the Rude boy

maybe Jon remembers those guy!

*guys*

A guy and girl were also on Sunday afternoons back then too can’t remember their names

I never realized WPRB had a reggae history before you Selecta Jerry!

have had that Dubbing in the Front Yard... comp on my phone for a long while now

Yeah there was quite a few through the years. Proud to add to the list

I used to listen to Miss Claudette on WTSR - Trenton State College back then as it was known. And then some WPRB Reggae DJ before Selecta Jerry who was on in the late 90s early 2000s. I called in to the station, answered a question correctly about Toots and the Maytalls to win a box set of Bob Marley. He said, no prob it is on the way, took my address info etc. but.... no dice. After many many many calls to the station I gave up. Never got the prize. Oh well. The prize is listening to WPRB!

I am bad with pulling early 2000s DJ names but if one comes to me I'll drop it in the chat!

@Brian D! 😭

Got turned on to a great reggae song that is not from Jamaica thanks to one of those "Cult Cargo" series comps on Bandcamp / Numero Group label. "Cult Cargo: Belize City Boil Up" track 6 "More Love Reggae" by Lord Rhaburn. Really beautiful groove on that. A bit like the classic Book of Rules groove. Great vocals. Read a bit more about Lord Rhaburn I guess he is quite the Belizean music legend! Highly recommend that comp.

Good recc, Bri, thx

Not just reggae on there, there are some fun "70s cop chase" grooves too. Good cover of Backstabbers and Godfather theme too.

Great timing! I'm off the Supernova ska next week

Errol dunkley, Lloyd parks, The cables

Hey DAM! noice!

I hope mother nature is in my corner 🤞

So I learned of this Carlene Davis tune from you Readie!

Looks like the Slackers will be there!!

When I played it in my show I gave you full credit for turning me on to it

All I learn I learn from stone

hey, Jerry! cool! Love Carlene!!! And I am still high from your awesome shout-out! 😌
