For the record, I would choose space.
Mary Jones 5:07:58 PM
Still think I’d do better at sea though.
DJ Tenderloin 5:08:11 PM
YES!
Mary Jones 5:08:39 PM
I have a telescope, love astronomy, and space scares the heck out of me.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:08:41 PM

Joe, it is inspired.
Zach 5:12:49 PM
Yeah this cover's a wild one, way to start it off
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:12:58 PM
Yesterday Wilbo did a show alternating between Beatles and Rolling Stones covers and it was thrilling.
Travis in Ganjarado 5:13:18 PM
Hola folks. Built to Spill does a great job at Cortez the Killer, too!

Zach 5:15:26 PM

Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:15:55 PM
Travis, I think I played the Built To Spill one on a prior TNiY. Liked the challenge of going all new tonight.
Zach 5:16:07 PM
assuming the space ship gets wprb
Michael Youngkin 5:16:10 PM
I'm with Liz Bot, at least at sea there's oxygen!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:16:12 PM
Hope you're on the mend all around, Zach.
Patrick Rapa 5:16:26 PM
at sea, everything that can hear you scream wants to eat you
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:16:31 PM
Hey Michael! I saw you when I saw Neil Young!
Michael Youngkin 5:17:04 PM
Haha yes, Neil has awakened me!
Liz Bot 5:17:35 PM
@Carlos - Maybe, but at least I have air! And maybe I waterski on two sea turtles back to shore
Michael Youngkin 5:17:52 PM
It's hard not to pick up a guitar and play along when I hear all these Neil songs, like "oh man, yeah, THAT one too!"
Liz Bot 5:18:00 PM
@Michael Youngkin - Yes, air takes priority I think!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:18:08 PM
Yep, Built to Spill was on TNiY 3 - https://keepingscoreathome.com/?p=4995
Alex Crowe 5:18:11 PM
Sea! I never liked The Robinsons.
Liz Bot 5:19:08 PM
@Alex Crowe- Robby the Robot was right. There was “Danger, Will Robinson” in space
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:21:12 PM
I did consider Cortez the Killers, an evening of all Cortez The Killer covers.
Alex Crowe 5:21:34 PM
Thanks Lizbot! I was afraid nobody would get that!
George Korein 5:21:58 PM
I'll be in class 6:30 to 8 but I'll try to catch the show 'til then. I dug the first few songs!

Liz Bot 5:24:40 PM
At sea, you might happen upon a floating garbage patch from which you can find items to fashion a raft, maybe even add some flourishes, like an old Odie the Dog tied to the mast. If Hooper & Brody could paddle all the way to shore with just some boards and a couple of barrels, I think I’d manage
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:24:45 PM
In the sense that I would like Guy Fawkes to visit their HQ, I am a Barstool Guy.

Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:27:33 PM
Wilbo's show was fun to discover. It was only the fourth song I heard that I realized what was up. Super concept that would have been lesser in other hands.
George Korein 5:27:48 PM
Liz and I were just listening to this song (the album version)
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:27:53 PM
Matt, I don't think there's a single Cinnamon Girl on deck tonight.

George Korein 5:29:53 PM
when I first heard this song I didn't see the title and I thought every time he sang "natural beauty" he was saying a proper noun I didn't recognize, and that it was about a specific place that should be preserved, like "Atura Butte should be preserved as a monument to nature"
Patrick Rapa 5:30:32 PM

My dad listened / listens to Sinatra and big band jazz. I think my mom liked The Kingston Trio. The only "rock" record we had growing up was a live Wings LP someone gave them. I brought it to kindergarten show-and-tell for reasons I can not explain.

there's something about live music on vinyl that makes my head itch
Patrick Rapa 6:04:17 PM
whoa
DJ Tenderloin 6:04:21 PM
omg - Jon - thinking about you telling the story of how you asked your parents for Butthole Surfers Rembrandt Pussyhorse- on cassette mind you - for your bar mitzvah. which still may be the greatest sentence ever written.
Brian Kijewski 6:04:31 PM
Hey hey! Frustrated I’ve not yet seen NY live. Was so close in 2024 when he was supposed to play with Crazy Horse at Rock The Park, a festival here in London, Ontario. The rest of that tour got cancelled though. His replacement was Bryan Adams? Ha. Needless to say I didn’t get tickets for that.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:05:24 PM
I think I just asked anyone to get me that tape. Which someone did!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:05:46 PM
Hopefully he + band will return your way in 2026, Brian.
DJ Tenderloin 6:06:04 PM
I have never forgotten that - I love that so much, more than words can express
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:06:28 PM
Real crucial cassette for me.
DJ Tenderloin 6:06:53 PM
I saw NY at the Spectrum in 2008 and it was f'n awesome.
DJ Tenderloin 6:08:01 PM
btw Jon the first album I ever bought with my own $ was on cassette. sorry to tell you that it was The Stranger - Billy Joel
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:08:09 PM
I saw a guy wearing a Magnolia Electric Company shirt at the Neil Young show I went to a couple days after Steve Albini died and I wonder how they're doing a surprising amount (for example, now).
Readie Righteous 6:09:33 PM
Took my Mom & sibs to see CSN&Y way back...and I'll never forget she said - "that Neil Young, he's my favorite!"
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:09:48 PM
I remember the first CD I bought with my own money but remembering my grandma buying me a tape of Hall + Oates at a department store is equally fond.
Readie Righteous 6:10:18 PM
Mom also introduced me to the Kingston Trio, BTW...
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:10:35 PM
(I think it was Voices.)
Patrick Rapa 6:11:10 PM
My Aunt Sissy bought me Han Solo in Hoth gear at the Woolworths
Ears 6:12:09 PM
I don't remember buying my first cassette, but I sure remember getting butsted for shoplifting a cassette. What a psychosoma that was!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:12:19 PM
Important figure for me. Gave an extra Hoth Han to a friend who was dying because he mentioned he always wanted one. Went to my basement and came up with a spare. When he passed I went to his home and it was on his bookcase.
Ears 6:12:56 PM
Heh. Psychodrama
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:13:22 PM
I'm an open book tonight!
Patrick Rapa 6:13:29 PM
Ears laughing at your story
Patrick Rapa 6:13:48 PM
(jk jk)
DJ Tenderloin 6:14:16 PM
ears - once shoved a poster down my pants and walked out of spencers as a young teen.
Dennis Lingg 6:14:29 PM
My first record I bought with my own money was a K-Tel record with H&O’s “You Make My Dreams” on it.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:14:57 PM
Incredible, Dennis.
Patrick Rapa 6:15:18 PM
nice
Patrick Rapa 6:15:53 PM
need to know what poster DJ Tendo stole.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:16:16 PM
Yes, this is important information.
DJ Tenderloin 6:17:02 PM
I'm not kidding - it was a black light poster of a panther! hell yeah!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:17:21 PM
THIS WAS IMPORTANT INFORMATION INDEED!
DJ Tenderloin 6:17:27 PM
as a kid I was fascinated by black light
Ears 6:17:37 PM
I remember it!
Richard Lyons 6:18:03 PM
🖤The Walkabouts! great show, Jon!
Ears 6:18:15 PM
We had the one with the two buzzards framed in our home
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:18:23 PM
Hey Richard!!
Ears 6:18:44 PM
'Patience my ass'
Patrick Rapa 6:19:02 PM
It will surprise no one that 'panther black light poster' turns up many results
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:19:22 PM
When I was a kid I was friendly with the manager of a local Wawa. He told me if I found any packs of baseball cards that were open I could keep them because the gum might be tainted. I opened a few packs that were definitely sealed so I could collect more cards. I was racked with guilt and confessed to my mom who made me go apologize to the manager. I wonder what he thought of it all.
DJ Tenderloin 6:19:26 PM
also where I grew up - in Wheaton MD - there was a bakery and they would put stuff on racks out back on the alley so they would cool faster and we would sometimes ride by on our bikes and grab stuff. f'n hooligans.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:19:30 PM
My life of crime was over.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:20:21 PM
DJ Tenderloin literally stole a cooling pie off a windowsill.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 6:21:40 PM
Scott the Hoople is a wonderful band name
DJ Tenderloin 6:22:33 PM
Jon - sadly, my life of crimes was not over and there are more sordid tales. kids. they do stuff.
Dan Wade {2} 6:23:54 PM
Hi Jon! Hi everybody!
Dennis Lingg 6:24:11 PM
Yo Dan!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:26:52 PM
Welcome on in, Dan!
Ears 6:27:05 PM
I got my bike confiscated by my step-dad because I did something bad. Then I told people on my paper route that my bike got stolen to try to fix that situation...it got worse, I ended up having to apologize to half the borough. Good times!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:27:24 PM
Wow, Ears!
Dennis Lingg 6:28:25 PM
A friend stole a tape for me out of a tape player at Kmart that had the first 2 Police albums on it. I said I liked it and he snuck it in his pocket and gave it to me outside.
Liz Bot 6:29:05 PM
@Ears - Oh no! I’d read your paperboy memoirs. My bike got lifted by the kid next door and I just stared at it in his yard 5 feet away
DJ Tenderloin 6:29:19 PM
That's a good friend Dennis. And I can say that because I don't have any children.
DJ Tenderloin 6:31:12 PM
My mom - yep, my MOM, had occasionally sticky fingers in certain situations. It's truly amazing I have any moral compass at all.
Dennis Lingg 6:31:35 PM
Liz, that’s when Steal Bot needs to be activated.
DJ Tenderloin 6:32:17 PM
My sister once said she liked this display hand they had at Woodies - long gone dept. store - and my mom just picked it up, and said Kerri let's go. And she walked right out the store with it
Ears 6:32:26 PM
You're right Liz Lizbot, I really should write it out
DJ Tenderloin 6:33:01 PM
thx boss - but really - not me, just a super cut of other mashes and remixes. enjoy!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:33:12 PM
I believe...and correct me if I'm wrong...a supe...yes!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:33:43 PM
(It works very well as a stand-alone thing too.)
DJ Tenderloin 6:34:06 PM
I listen to 17 min. of mashes so you don't have to! it's like a service
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:34:23 PM
It is very much appreciated.
Dennis Lingg 6:34:46 PM
I had friends who worked at a music studio that seemed to steal more equipment than a studio could hold, including a DAT recorder and mixing board. It seemed like everyone that worked there did it.
Ears 6:34:46 PM
😍
DJ Tenderloin 6:35:12 PM
thx again Jon - truly honored to play a part in the thing. cheers!
Ears 6:35:34 PM
The result is very sweet!

Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:37:43 PM
"The Gold Experience" cracks me up.
Liz Bot 6:38:03 PM
@Dennis - Ha, I was tempted, but my parents ended up talking to his parents. We were maybe 7 or 8. I’ll never forgot his name because it was Pierre but he said it like “pear”. Things from our yard always somehow found their way into his yard. But he only lived there a couple years and then he moved back to France.
DJ Tenderloin 6:38:34 PM
I put that in. and the spandau ballet snippet
Liz Bot 6:38:41 PM
@Ears - Do it! Publish online. You could use the old Nintendo Paper Boy game art as a cover
Matt Sabbath in the NJ lim zone 6:38:53 PM
Jon I sent ye the Nomeansno doing NY sawng
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:39:53 PM
My old roommate Brett and I went to watch a WCW event on TV at a bar and while there were only 8-10 people there including us the "contest winners" for various giveaways was clearly rigged in favor of the host's friends' table. So...
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:40:29 PM
...at the end of the night while we were leaving Brett in stride grabbed the life-sized cardboard cutout of Bill Goldberg, put it under his arm and started running...
Matt Sabbath in the NJ lim zone 6:40:45 PM
haaaaaa!!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:41:22 PM
...I did not know where he had gone and he was worried he might get caught so I found him hiding behind a card with a six+ foot cardboard wrestler next to him. I believe Goldberg is still in my parents' basement. Spear! Spear! Spear!
Brian Kijewski 6:41:35 PM
I'd never actually heard this song until last week. David Pajo picked it in a piece from stereo gum where 80 artists select NY songs. Really great deep cut.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:41:38 PM
*car not car.
Pickled Eggs 6:41:43 PM
Ty 4 th' air Jon! King Darves just msg'd me. We're gonna bring that back into th' Adult Band repertoire :)
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:41:54 PM
Brian, that piece was useful prepping this week indeed.
Matt Sabbath in the NJ lim zone 6:45:08 PM
ha dis mix is nuts
DJ Tenderloin 6:47:16 PM
man i love this song. and this version is really cool.
Ears 6:47:23 PM
Wow
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:58:16 PM
One hour to go!
DJ Tenderloin 7:00:31 PM
heating up my dinner - thanks for the plug boss! greatly appreciated. only an hour left? I think you should do a 25 HOUR NEIL YOUNG MARATHON! kidding.
Zach 7:00:47 PM
Been waiting for this one, great version
DJ Tenderloin 7:00:55 PM
But def you gotta do NY5
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:01:10 PM
Always, DJ Tenderloin.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:03:42 PM
Really appreciate everyone who sent something they found or made something for tonight's show. You make this program special.
DJ Tenderloin 7:06:56 PM
I am but your humble elf - ready to serve! christmas is a' comin'....always happy to make something for you boss!
DJ Tenderloin 7:07:17 PM
Pica's!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:07:22 PM
Yes, we could make this an annual thing.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:07:31 PM
Or every two years.
DJ Tenderloin 7:10:06 PM
you need time to acquire new stuff (and old - some of the older tracks tonight have been hitting especially hard). but I gotta think there's heaps of NY covers. tonight's show has been amazing Jon. really good mix of all kinds of stuff
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:11:13 PM
I have a few tracks in reserve that too many people do well.
Liz Bot 7:15:32 PM
Hrmmm. This voice is familiar.
DJ Tenderloin 7:15:54 PM
hey George this is awesome!
Liz Bot 7:16:23 PM
More chiptune action. I actually am hearing this for the first time. I only knew George was recording it, and knew which song he chose to cover and that’s it.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:16:32 PM
Amazing, Liz.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:16:45 PM
Love a (good) surprise.
Liz Bot 7:17:01 PM
@Tenderloin - Alas, he is in a class right, performing a monologue from Barton Fink!
DJ Tenderloin 7:17:26 PM
I want to make blip blip crazy sounds like this!
Liz Bot 7:17:44 PM
But I DID take that photo of him in hypno-glasses! That’s in a toy store in Austin
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:17:47 PM
Please relay our compliments.
DJ Tenderloin 7:17:56 PM
LizBot pls if you see him - tell him I love this. omg. ping ping!
Liz Bot 7:18:46 PM
@Tenderloin - Will do!
Liz Bot 7:19:33 PM
Glasses photo was in Toy Joy, 2nd St, downtown Austin. Good place! 🕶️ now I want a Porchy’s taco…
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:20:23 PM
I have been to Toy Joy!
Liz Bot 7:22:37 PM
@Jon Solomon - Nice! Also went to the much larger Austin toy store Terra Toys, but Toy Joy was much more conveniently located and concentrated with good novelties! That trip was exactly 10 years ago this week. My phone sent me a memories notification. We were there for a wedding.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:23:37 PM
I went to Toy Joy in...1999...2000? Still have the dogbot I bought there.
Liz Bot 7:25:10 PM
@Jon Solomon - You might have been the one to recommend Toy Joy to me! I absolutely solicited recommendations on social media before that trip. Also hit up the pinball museum, The Broken Spoke, and many, many taco trucks
Liz Bot 7:26:43 PM
@Jon Solomon - I have a Tomy SpotBot robot dog 5 feet from me right now
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:28:09 PM
This was one of my favorite discoveries this time through. Need to go back and listen to the full comp!
Liz Bot 7:28:43 PM
@Jon Solomon - Oh yeah, and an awesome costume store, Lucy in Disguise with Diamonds, which I’m sad to learn has since closed
Alex Crowe 7:29:36 PM
Oh I really love the Lung
Liz Bot 7:29:52 PM
This is a great cover!
Kelly Nielsen 7:30:21 PM
Incredible show, DJ Jon Solomon. I really enjoyed the George Korein and the Spleen piece!
Readie Righteous 7:30:35 PM
This is great- and benefitting Raices - such a great organization!
Zach 7:30:39 PM
This might be my favorite for the night so far, this gets in all the good parts of my brain
Liz Bot 7:33:03 PM
Fun Fact: The aforementioned Michelle Lordi and George Korein have recorded songs together
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:34:02 PM
Wild, Liz.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:34:09 PM
Hey, Kelly! Thanks!
Zach 7:34:11 PM
BONUS SET!!!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:35:13 PM
So it appears, Zach.
Zach 7:35:49 PM
I felt like that needed some game show styled emphasis, obviously
Zach 7:36:34 PM
Thanks for the show tonight Jon, happy drive everyone
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:36:44 PM
Ha.
DJ Tenderloin 7:37:38 PM
Or you could trade the bonus set for what's behind curtain #1.....
Liz Bot 7:37:47 PM
@Jon Solomon - Michelle sang on a couple of George’s albums, but ALSO on George’s version of O Tannenbaum for yr holiday marathon a couple? of years ago. She sang the German lyrics.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:38:48 PM
That's wild! I appreciated her sending me what she did.
Alex Crowe 7:45:12 PM
Thanks for the great show Jon! And to everyone who shared these great covers.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:45:50 PM
Really fun night. Thanks for supporting WPRB however you choose, even if it is simply spreading the good word.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:46:10 PM
This has been a wonderful show, Jon, thanks!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:46:32 PM
Glad you were here for it, Rob.
Readie Righteous 7:47:14 PM

Thanks so much, James! Really enjoyable evening on this side of the microphone.
Dennis Lingg 7:51:29 PM
Thanks for a great show Jon! We’re close to halfway through our friends quest!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:51:51 PM
I did my evening Duolingo mid-show!
DJ Tenderloin 7:53:21 PM
I was doing Duolingo for a while - that little f'n owl was on me like a blanket!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:53:45 PM
El bujo es muy...como se dice "needy?"
donutage 7:55:15 PM
Hey y'all! I'm back for the big finale.
DJ Tenderloin 7:55:24 PM
Si!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:55:26 PM
Wow. Ok. No pressure.
Liz Bot 7:55:42 PM
@Jon / @Tenderloin - I willingly signed up for Duo the buho to harass me via emails and pop-ups
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:55:55 PM
I just get ominous knocks on the window.
donutage 7:55:55 PM
I see I missed Five Eight. Glad you liked that one, Jon.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:56:05 PM
It fit well, Donutage.
DJ Tenderloin 7:56:18 PM
seriously I just couldn't stand him crying at me all the time.
Alex Crowe 7:56:31 PM
talk about unsearchable band and track combos "Popular Music Philadelphia"
Liz Bot 7:56:38 PM
I’ll grant Duolingo this: My French pronunciation of artists / song titles over the air sucks considerably less these days
donutage 7:57:11 PM
Alex C, 100%
DJ Tenderloin 7:57:16 PM
Liz Bot - Ha! yes i guess it is good for DJs especially
Ears 7:57:22 PM
This was an amazing experience 👏
Liz Bot 7:57:41 PM
@Alex Crowe - That’s just gonna turn up The Hooters over and over again!
Brian Kijewski 7:58:15 PM
thoroughly enjoyable show. have a good night all.
DJ Tenderloin 7:58:18 PM
This. was. FANTASTIC. Really great show tonight Jon - and thanks again for the spins.
Li Maria 7:58:50 PM
Great show--thanks, Jon! So many great covers and mash-ups!
DJ Tenderloin 7:58:55 PM
Have an excellent evening everyone!
donutage 7:59:33 PM
Bravo! Great show as always, Jon!
Liz Bot 7:59:37 PM
@DJ Tenderloin - It started because my sister-in-law married a Frenchie in France and I wanted to say some basic stuff to his relatives there, but bonus side effect is my improved pronunciation! I have so many beloved French albums, so…dear god, Duo JUST popped up on my phone! He KNOWS we’re falling about him
Alex Crowe 7:59:40 PM
@ Lizbot Truth!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:59:43 PM
We did it! Thank ya, Li Maria. So many awesome chatters in the chat tonight.
Liz Bot 7:59:52 PM
Thank you, Jon! This was such a great show!!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 8:00:49 PM
