Delighted to know you're listening! We'll have some fun today, less talk since i'm losing my voice.

Redlights!

it's on!

the yoo doo

doo rag

the Yoo Doo is SO rewarding

🤘

squeaky cheese

gettin' this party started - what's up guys?

the only squeak here is potentially my voice. I am also currently drinking soup. let's see which one wins.

@Jen Redlights always a Friday highlight! 🪨 🚦🛑🛑🚦🚦🚦

hello, @ears and @richard and @matt and @bike r!

thanks, @ears! :)

Total highlight of the day!

Soup *always* wins

thanks, @bike r, and yes on soup!

Mike, calm ur dog down

aiffrig LOLz

Bike R well said

LOL

Sup? Soup?

SOUP

Lol Rob MD

i should have pulled out Soup to play today

Sup Matt Suppath?

the hoo doo and the yoo doo is brewin

Hat tip for first Soup reference of 2025. Probably 2024 and 2023, too.

SOUP THE BAND I MEAN

Matt Soupath

Lol Lupica

hahahahaha i conjured mike again

Lol Matt! Just don't be a Soupopath

Mike Soupica!

awwwwww cold voice Jen is adorbs. Jen is watchin Price Is Right and keeping her punk immune system on its toes

HAH

MIKE SOUPICA

Jen, you're voice sounds fine. I hope you get over your cold soon

i got push button radio ,

thank you! it's not too bad, just hard to talk :}

There's a great remix of "You Doo Right" on this Can remix album https://canofficial.bandcamp.com/album/sacrilege

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK79 Jen, the sheer existence of AK79 will heal you. Auckland NZ punk 1979 WHAT

oh nice, thanks, @john! I'll start there

John Harden nice!

AK79 is an amazing comp

haaaaaaa Jen knew you'd know it :)

and good idea, maybe we can get that on!

i occasionally know a thing. love hot tips on awesome comps always, though.

I'm just a primitive Black Flag punk hesher from NJ. I learn from WPRB. Jen is the SOURCE for the full story of post punk & early punk & smart punk!

🤘🏻 you are too generous, dude, but thanks!

just spittin facts

;)

John Harden with the Can jam, man (as Deaner sez)

The Afghan Whigs!

PANTS ARE ON AND CAWFEE A BREWIN. I might just survive another day in the Dirty Jerz l, thanx to wprb

(Dirty Jerz I being a typo, or a rasta way of saying NJ)

For some reason the Radium Dolls song made me wanted to listen to White Trash Party, which I did not have on hand...so Big Top Halloween!

this is a pants-off-only show typically

but you do you, man

Big Top PeeWee

at least with pants on I have half a shot of making it thru today

pants optional but helpful

hahahah

also everyone stop what you're doing and listen to Snooper

POBH - old military slang

PANTS BACK OFF, CAWFEE PAUSED, LISTENING TO SNOOPER

hahahah

Star 6 9! Remember that wacky shit?!

This is putting my enery drink in overdrive Jen! Cool...

Dig the Snooper. Recalls Free Refills (2-person Los Angeles petulant computer punk)

you bet, on both! Does *69 work anymore??

Roff + energy drink + hyperscooter

Your reading me like a book Matt. lol

Roff is just a vague punky blur thru NJ

@Jen reading us all like books.

we're just all on the same wavelength today!

Roff can get from Egg Harbor to New Brunswick in negative time, arriving before he left

@bike, I think you should know that i'm planning an all-bike special show soon.

Daily time paradoxes are3 a thing Matt.

@jen can't wait!

Jen scanning us all, a la Scanners

ooooh creeeeepy

speaking of, what do we need to hear next week? It's HALLOWEEN, OMG

LOVE TRANSFUSION

Groovie Ghoulies!

always!

45 Grave! Ministry! Samhain November Coming Fire

love it!

meantime, the set is rocking

all-bike songs sounds rad

BAM!!!!!

WPRB LISTENERS CRASH NJ PA DE TELEPHONY SYSTEM AFTER URGING FROM DJ

Chef!

Chef I need those bison bites and dipping sauce stat

Yes chef?!

think it was Rick yeah Rick James , cocaine , it's a terrible drug figure i'll just do the fentanoyl. free state of florida

@bam! emeril, it's been a minute!

@jen your voice sounds fine, imho

RICK JAMES

fun fact: computer hacking began when a dude blew a Capn Crunch whistle (in box) into a phone and hacked system (mimicked 2600-tone)

nah, before that, then the operator eavesdropped on your phone conversation ;)

so, in a way, our techno dystopia began with Cap'n Crunch

The parents and kids at school pick up today were treated to the Afghan Whigs, Maddam and Snooper. :-)

@matt nope

Jen Lol. Calling the Operator rudely wuz a gen X rite of passage

Bike R LOL

Snooper at school!!!! YESSSS

yessssss ParrScream

ParrScream, the finest wprb field soldier ever seen

ParrScream is chief ambassador

seriously. this show is rocking. more snooper and more *69

Dan Drohan!

thank you, @bike!

re ParrScream, haven't seen a more focused and stealth field soldier since, well , General Washington did that thing with the icy river

Jen I just followed you on Mixcloud. You're from SF! I'm listening from Santa Rosa CA

oh cool, thanks for the follow, and yes!! hello, Santa Rosa!!

terrific town. i'd love to know how you found WPRB!

@John Harden wprb is a special radio station, because of DJs like @Jen Redlights

💕

Fourth try. Hello?

@jon!

John nice! John do ye know the crazy lore about Triclops! playing Last Record Store in SR? Legendary

hello, operator

Oh phew. That Yoo Doo Right collaborative record knocked me out. Added the jammer you played to my running playlist.

it's so great!!

that's also why i was yammering about Population II coming through...they are rad on their own

Jon we have received yer transmissions good sir

Sup Jon (and Jen and Matt and everyone)

Matt I do not know of the Triclops show

@rob howdy!

but have been a LRS shopper since the'80s

Crap wave! Meat wave! Jen I sense a theme

hahaha short trend

John, it's wild. The singer strapped flashlights to himself and crawled out almost into SR traffic, singing, in daylight, playing a LRS in-store

(with a long mic cord)

Jen, not only 3 CA-NJ peoples in chat but Santa Rrrrrrrrrrrosa! Chances?!

my hand , arm , body hurts , the final solution should be at hand but somehow it continues ,

Lol aiffrig today LOLOLOL

California and NJ are sister states, obviously

Ha ha Matt! I love spreading the greatness of PRB everywhere I can. It is my favorite Friday afternoon tradition since my buddy and I used to blast "Workin' for the Weekend" around 4:30 every Friday for those of us who were low enough on the corporate ladder to still be left in the office at that time.

Jen I have a big spreadsheet of college radio station URLs and have WPRB bookmarked

stellar show, Jen!! 🖤📻🎶

well drop us into the community/independent section instead of college, but HECK YES, so glad you are here!

Matt this chat needs a "like" button

thanks, @richard!

Hail Mary!

ParrScream from Loverboy to punk, love it

@Jen obviously your show gets things going, haha!

💥 🤘🏻

Matt - No one is safe from my loud music on Friday afternoons. Punk before Loverboy, Punk after Loverboy... Punk forever

Ah gotcha, saw "Princeton" and assumed...

Here's that spreadsheet, enjoy the rabbit hole folks https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HN9VBZw16vBShsQC4AEnIdWOEIREetIeqN25ZWtI7Kw/

https://www.filmonpaper.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/MadMax_onesheet_UK_TomBeauvais-1.jpg ParrScream. Hope he's out there in a world gone mad.

all well, and that's an awesome list!!

Thanx John H! I sure do miss the mexican food of Santa Rosa and CA music scene!

PRAY THAT PARRSCREAM IS OUT THERE SOMEWHERE

Hell yeah Jen. AK79 rules.

I wish I could thank the person who made the list, no idea

Matt - I'm cracking up ;-D

fr1dayafternoon I'm lookin forward to dig into it

hell yeah Jen. AK79 rules!

Hey everyone, I haven't said hello in a while. And this is exactly what I needed to hear right now.

Great list John! What are a few of your favorites AFTER WPRB, of course. ;-)

Bike R echo

imagine being punk in Auckland NZ 1979. Oof. The pioneers!

Proud Scum! Lemonheads covered 'em!

wavecore minitheme

@John Harden, I see that WOWD as well as WMUC is on that spreadsheet :-))

Jen needs appajuice

*both are located less than 6 or so miles from me so I can pick them up in my car

sending Jen a gallon of Red Cheek apple juice and Motörhead-sized handle of bourbon

hi, @fr1day!

wavecore hahahah

Shout out to the chat regular I finally met in person before the Solaris screening yesterday...

that mini-wave was awesome! crap, meat, then oblivion

Jon I heard that planet was sentient or sumpin

@jon damn, I missed that screening!

oooooh fun, @jon!

Wprb showing Solaris for free is just one of the examples of awesomemess. Had to pay for my Tarkovsky when I was young.

*awesomeness

If they wish to ID themselves they can! Gotta go for a run, back soon...

sounds like it was a blast!

Next week.. Misfits, lots of Misfits!

Back in my day I had to walk miles to the vid store with 300 pennies in a backpack and HOPE they had Tarkovsky films

always, @michael!

evening jen, and this experimental show like mustard and eggrolls with cheesecake pumpkin lasagna pie

AND PUMPKIN SPICE

egg, chain, PSL PUNK

i wonder if i have any PLT songs for halloween

I second Michael M re Misfits

still my favorite thing https://youtu.be/-LhEf6hWAIE?si=dfa0qQCHYHhAvdMS

Just learned PSL is american for Samhain

hahah

LMAO

(uses tiny cheese grater to dust PSL foam with nutmeg)

Oh yeasss!

The Tee-Vees!

@michael i love that you've got a playlist going !

I had never heard of it before! It so good! Yup listening in from Philly!

Sleepytime Trio <3

and that's why radio is fun! @jas https://flyingnun.bandcamp.com/album/ak-79

@parr YESSS

lovitt just reissued that album!

yeah have like a liked song playlist thats been running for like 5 years it's in there somewhere, also been archiving anything that calls to me while prbing, and been making playlists every 4-6 months with stuff i get from here depending on where life is taking me at the time!

such a great idea. My playlist is a lot of notes in various places + buying wishlists + my own show archives. ;)

Rye Coalition with the Shellac love !

so darn good

playlists like that are so fun. i have one that I've been adding a song to every day since 2018. love going back in time and listening to what i was into a few years ago

if anyone wants to make a donation to the Letters Charity (benefit from this record), you can still buy the digital single https://ryecoalition.bandcamp.com/album/paid-in-full

Sleepytime and Rye Coalition.... You are making me cry Jen! This reminds me of the best times! 90's shows all over Philly and the East Coast! :-)

@andrew that is awesome. it's so easy to forget about records.

rye playing my favorite shellac song 🤎🤎🤎

@parr 💙

yeeee, i wish there was a prb wrapped at the end of the year, last 14 months have been like an 80/20 split back to prbs favor. yeaaaa andrew when i listen to my masterlist i can always identify what year and feelings according to where i am the the list!

Andrew G nice

ParrScream love it

my end goal is to get a masterlist of all of my like TOP Albums, but honestly i don't even know where to start, like i feel like i need a masterlist of bands so i can then just like start going through and adding albums from said bands

michael g you got "the french toast man" by Fred Lane on there right

lifetime top albums is so many, im always thinking if i had the list complete how many albums would actually be on there

Cheers for the link :) yes this is the best station!!

unfamiliar matt sabbath!

this is great radio!

@Jas kiwi! Nice! Thanx for tuning in. Jen play Wax Chattels for Jas! or next time. NZ!

although the albums that come in as like all timers for me has been declining for about 5 yrs ! but always down to add new stuff!

Michael G get it, it's a punk classic LOL

@bike r thank you!! and @michael the delightful part is that we don't have to pick favorites. every day can be a different favorite. :

Jen with the APPALACHIAN SNAKEHANDLING PUNK (ASP)

Have always wanted to attend a snake service, only one church left in Appalachia that does it. Wild!

have you listened to that record? it's wild!

it's a recording from that church

Jen it looks out there. Pastor Chris! WHAT!!

it's good listening

Jezebel!

Witness Inc have that Music Machine proto-desert vibe!

so fun

Ears' Halloween suggest: Skinny Puppy- Human Disease or, if less dark fits better, anything from TooDark Park

ooooh creep-o-rama!

awesome

Ears yessssssssss. SP Rabies in its entirety!

Jen, The Cramps always hit nicely on the 'Ween

🔨 yes!

Jen, we heard yer playing Skinny Puppy Rabies in entirety, and Sleep's Dopesmoker, next show

this is going to be a spooky show!

as well as "You Suffer" by Napalm Death (1 second)

hahah so if i just scream into the mic, we'll call it a cover?

haaa

Candy-Ass Records LOL

Jen is powering thru her cold with the ragged vocals punky YEAHS! Yeah!

always! how do you think i lose my voice! ;)

Jen the 3:15 - 3:25 songs next week have to be EXTRA epic for the Running Redlights Halloween Edition School Pickup. :-)

Jen, re Halloween -- NMN "my roommate is turning into a monster"

yessssss to both!

Jen, ParrScream is going big next week!

i guess i'm on a BIT too early to ruin trick or treating

ParrScream at 3:15 pm, Friday https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQzXdK2v7kgJEyZF5paKG6oLEispw9lVJGkp8icTknM47d4Slfyu7R2Zi40&s=10

Maybe, but you can ruin someone's innocence anytime 😈

One Halloween I learned all the Halloween themes (horror classic) on guitar, then decided not to entertain/host trick or treaters Lol

ruined innocence, the beginning of wisdom

@ears hahahahah

Jen THANK YOU for soldiering thru and delivering the goods! Hope ye feel betta soonly.

thank you! I'm sure this will help. Thanks for hanging out today!

before the chat closes, I would just like to say this show was awesome, I look forward to it always. Totally rocked out!

@bike thanks so much for being here! that was a blast.

Jen: hold my NyQuil I'm going in (the pit)

and don't forget: Halloween party next week!

🍻

total blast!

Please come in costume: you must dress as a concept from Solaris

Bike R cheers

Spam Reubens, anyone?

Ears is lightbulbin! Love it! russian tinned spacemeat

NJ State Trooper: yer name sir? Me: Spam Reuben.

@jen oh yes i know! but the other night i heard a song from an album i hadn't listened to since i was like 12, 26 years is a wild hiatus from something that meant so much to me! shoutout dj go ! and just a big file of michaels all time albums. i started getting cassettes for stocking stuffers as early as like 7/8 i'd say !

michael g whhat!! tape stocking stuff?! awesome

silverchair frogstomp, bush sisteen stone are my earliest visual memories of that so whatever year that was poppin!!!

@wprb I’m not like everybody else is by Dave Davies, of the Kinks, chocolate watch band is a cover.

@michael that is so fun!! you'll have to start sharing some of your deep-dive finds

sixteen ston * so prob 94!

@joanna that is accurate! and i'd argue punkier but i didn't even mention it!

michael g, careful, punk is potent stuff, brother (kidding)

will do catch ya next week jen!

I mean a good one but kinks are earlier as punk goes

wprb forevah

it's a fair point!

Joanna good point

Junx :)

and lots of arguable punk from the 50s too!

Jinx!

;)

🤘🏻
