"Check (Please)" by The Macks. Running Redlights Fri Nov 21 with Jen on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Jerry G told me hit da peace pipe so I followed commands

right on, then you're ready to relax and/or party

we will plan for both

we're gonna crash or crash through - mad max 2

sounds like a plan!

Just clicked in. Happy to have you in my digiteria. I hope you have a great show.

@richard, prompt as always!

Not sure how active a chatter I can be the next two hours but wanted you to know I'm tuned in!

we in da punk cafeteria

Afternoon all

thanks, @jon! glad you're all here. hi, @rob!

we are doing all new music today just for kicks

and i'm up to my neck in new stuff!

sounds great Jen, altho this song would segue beautifully into Bull in the Heather

Saw Chris Corsano & Bill Orcutt open for Tortoise last weekend. It was serious business!

Wild Bill Orcutt!

wonderful!!! I saw Chris Corsano at some point recently. Orcutt is next, darnit!

coffee & weedmelk, check, wprb lock, check

might just make it thru today

what else do you need, really. Snacks? a sweater.

sweater song

OK Jen - I'm relying on youto set the tone for the weekend

Social Climbers! The tristate area's philosophy. Just sayin.

I am up for it, @francis! something for every mood today.

I like going downward socially

I do that every day.

Nearly an "I'm in the Mood to Move" intro on this one

Well - everyone is crashing out here in L.A. since it's drizzling, so have at it

HAAAAAA fr1day that's a request

I'M IN THE MOOD TO HUHWHIP YER BOTTOM WITH A TIRE IRON - I'm in the Mood to Move

@francis I can help!

fr1ayafternoon with a ween reference in the first fifteen minutes. Punk roke.

Restart this Social Climbers son and try to tell me it doesnt have a nearly identical beat at the intro

hahahahah well played, friends

fr1dayafternoon I heard it, dude, I'm a believer

(I call everyone dude)

fr1day I'm impressed, helluva ear. Protect yer hearing! And yer neck, Wu-Tang

what's funny is this came out originally in 1981

Already pledged and paid.

Hail the Boognish. We can only hope he rises again someday (by Ween)

Richard M thanks dude!

@richard, way to represent!! thanks a ton!

Hail Boognish.

sup gang!

COOL HUHWHIP !!

hallo, @michael! welcome to the chat party

SUP

Gudgeon's Dungeon in da hauuuussss

What are you trying to say Jen?

Lol

influences are vast, and i love it.

this song interestingly sounds a lot like a sahel song called "enchanted carnivore" from subsaharan africa, I forget the band name, but it's rad

Haha fair

;)

fri1dayafternoon, Moistboyz never retire.

oh neat, @matt, no idea but i can see how that guitar sound gets to it. This record was an awesome surprise.

seems like the enchanted carnivores have piked up to Sydney then https://twistedsandshoe.bandcamp.com/album/the-science-of-sand

@Matt may Tinariwen, Mdou Moctar, or Bombino

The sub saharan rock scene is aewsome music. Incredibly transporting and vibe filled

Francis I agree

Twisted Sandshoe Band, heard em on a subsahara comp on the bandcamp

nice find!

summoning Capdoc Ahab wit dis one !

always my hope!

Ah - good to know. Always looking to give my money to Bandcamp

I love da bandcamp. Superior sound than YouTube and no ads, so much good schtuff.

another great use of dollars! like pledge.wprb.com

Yes! "superior sound and no ads" can also describe the mighty WPRB

hold her beer, Jen's going in the funk pit

I saw Etran Del Air last year and they were awesome. So tight

hahahaha, @matt

@fr1day they are SO FUN to watch

These Yoo Doo folks know their Pink Floyd Meddle!

nice groover!

Hi Jen

hello, @tony! welcome

Can I request a song?

This song rules

You certainly can. I can't promise I have it with me but love requests.

@matt thought you needed to get your funk on

What if it's only on Spotify?

Tony E lay it on us

I think it's local? Says Trenton, NJ

funk-thrash

https://open.spotify.com/track/0e4Vh3clhoc1dZjAgfzpvd?si=51e06fed9881456a

stoner swedes, salt of the earth

OK - pledged monthly. Total of $16.66 Matts name inspired me

PUNK-uation

HELLO

BONJOUR!

This sounds like Royal Headache. Me like

awesome, tony! And i can't play off Spotify but will check it out later!

bonjour Tony E, oui oui

@francis HOLY MOLY, that is amazing!!! You are a radio hero!

lol. no

Francis what!! Nice!

seriously, we are all so grateful. Thanks so much for your support!

I just wanted the cool T-shirt

haaaaaaa!! coolest shirts ever

and now you'll get ALL the shirts! forever!

ALL

Bill of Descendents: dude how many fish you plan on catching? ALL singer: ALL.

Loved the first 2.5 Descendents albums

hey there

@andrew, howdy!

This Bee Bee Sea reminds me of Straight Arrows.

Whats the deal with Bee Bee Sea? I feel like I've been seeing their name a lot?

i don't know them! will need to check them out, as I loooooove Bee Bee Sea.

love that new tee vee repairmann single!

i have been playing them...sort of frequently. They also just released a new album.

@andrew same!

This Dumbells song has a very retro feel to it. Reminds me of Feargal Sharkey/Undertones, or something like htat

Yesssss Team Trust with the Albini-esque sound

nice and raw (say raw like a deep New Jerseyian)

I love all the connections you guys are making! always super interesting to hear other people's ears at work.

this Team Trust record is another fun discovery!

On it! They have that 90s math rock vibe with a bubblegum pop side too, sweet

40 Winks!!!!

hah that's why i have on my own notes: sweet but not saccharine

Saccharine Trust

sugary trust

Trustafarian mon, big ups

Liiek know their Flipper! Soundin good!

LET'S GET SCUMMY, TURN IT UP

PA NJ Delaware EARTH LFG

hahahah scum set commences

there is no crust without scum

Speed Week! Sleaford Mods meets Joy Division! Good-soundin album

it's so darn good! I will have to listen again with that in my head. wild!

Sleaford Mods have a new record out, too!

Sleaford Mods are so good. And so odd. It shouldn't work that minimal, but it does. I love how the SM dj just does random things while he runs a laptop beat, like check his phone, eat, laugh. Etc.

I saw them play out once, thought it would be so boring. It was decidedly NOT BORING.

sometimes I think Sleaford Mods is punker than a lotta stuff in the punk section LOL

their videos are hilarious, too

there's a great tension at the core of Sleaford Mods, like in that bonkers movie Sexy Beast -- uk inner city tension that they tap into so well

Hello Jen!

hi, @marcus!

Matt: The guy from Trio eats an apple while playing

Da Da Da

Marcus H LOLOLOLOLOL

Stewart Copeland of the Police at watermelon with one hand and drummed with another. That man is not human. His drumming is completely next level.

This show is the shiznit Jen!

*ate

The dj of Sleaford Mods has the sweetest job in the world. Hits play, eats, reads, checks phone.

Pete Nice from 3rd Bass sits in a chair and holds a cane

Clearly the genius of the herd.

Marcus H HAAAAAAA!! 3rd Bass. They are legendary.

@marcus glad you're liking it!! i am having a blast!

holy guacamole that Alix Fernz has early ween drum machine brown qualities

fucking banger, DJ! What!!

i like when bands just have a dancer or hype man. like the Avail guy who would just dance around and whip everyone up. Or (more or less) Guy Picciotto in Fugazi.

Early 80s Synthpop forevah!

Jen yes! the mighty mighty bosstones official dancer onstage, dude was amazing and in suit and tie

so funny

Rankin Roger just jumped up on stage and started dancing and became part of the Beat

sorry folks have to do it: the BUTTHOLE SURFERS NAKED DANCER WIT DA SPINAL DEFORMITIES AND HYDROCEPHALUS sorry folx

!! really? hahahahah

@matt NOT the same thing

:}

I tried it with Fishone, didn't work, they didn't kick me off the stage, which is a a plus

Marcus haaaa!

Marcus H did they do the holy fishbone oath taking part?

Voyage to the land of free-dried godzilla farts

Fishbone overwhelmed my synaesthesia. So much going on onstage and they are so tight.

freeze

Marcus LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

"Godzilla was too drunk to destroy Tokyo"

Jen Alix F into Applejuice was epic

So, Jen , I went to see Playboi Carti at the Prudential Center a few weeks ago. The mosh pit was insane. I did not have floor access but what I saw was primal

ahhhhh awesome, @matt!

the rhino bass (as Steve Albini, RIP, said)!! Love those chainsaw bass nice and low in da mix

@marcus !!

Marcus LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Free tickets but a good show, lots of darkness, smoke, fire, energy

sometimes medieval, vicious pits crop up at the oddest places (Cardi B; the supermarket; in dust devil winds)

Marcus H sounds like you saw nin!

Playboi Carti is not rap, it's Metal+Techno

last time i saw a band with smoke, it was Corrosion of Conformity, and it was hilarious.

CoC! I love them

speaking of Ween, Pure Guava-era tour had fucking moshpits in the clubs (small, like The Whiskey, etc). I wuz like PEOPLE, IT'S WEEN, CALM DOWN

I don't know them - sounds fun/terrifying! the kind of show i used to take off jewelry to attend.

CoC and Prong!

150k years ago

Jen NICE

no Crumbsuckers?

I'd give away one of my children to see CoC and Prong.

But I do miss the OG CoC drummer, Reed. RIP.

Wish I could've seen the Pure Guava tour

Marcus you must find the CoC guitar tutorial on youtube where Woody Weatherman can't remember his own riffs. It's hilarious.

fr1dayafternoon it was bonkers, noisy, chaotic. They'd bounced back from mono and had all this energy.

STEVE PEPPER

peffer but yes! the guy is kind of a nut

oh chit Peffer. Yer still a lil stuffed up and I have hearing loss from the punk roke life. Lol!

HAHA

@ matt - saw CoC in Newark back in the late 80's/early 90's - great show. Never saw Prong though, but did see the guitrarist when he was in Sonic Youth

PEPPER STEVE PEPPER PAGING MISTER STEVEN PEPPER

Francis dayum!!

Jen I just ordered you a bourbon & ginger ale and a wasabi Bloody Mary, all paid for.

it'll heal the lingering ickies

Bring that country geetar: Long Ryders, Green on Red, Old 97's

hah i thank you, @matt

Marcus H DOO RAG

Punkest band ever, the mighty Doo Rag of Tucson, Arizona

Cowpunk they used to call it

Nape Neck!!

Pylon is a band often heard on WPRB

Jen, NN and Wax Chattels together would rattle my cortex

haaaaa a nod to Holiday in Cambodia is part of that NN song

Definite Dead Kennedys bass line nod in this Nape Neck.

yes, @marcus, I think that was probably intentional!

Ha!

@jon and matt JINX

Jon jinx you owe me a root beer

Settle for a Sarsaparilla?

the jamaican jerked lamb I made and ate is giving my ears back their powers

Sioux City Sarsaparilla. Jon, you only know the best

Jon hell yeah, sarsaparilla rules. When life gives ya SARS, make sarsaparilla.

I just went for a run and I could go for a Sarsaparilla. Time for a shower! I deserve it!

There is an anarchist/libertarian sausage place in the East Bay called Top Dog who once had "Railroad Rootbeer" on tap, I always found that a nice lil touch.

it was good too

What popular song mentions Sarsaparilla?

Radium Dolls! Oi! NJ PA DE Earth turn it uppppppppppp

"Cold Lampin' with Flavor" by Public Enemy

@marcus is winning the chat today

Marcus H ha! What Jim Jarmusch movie features the song?

Like chocolate, even vanilla Chocolate, strawberry, sarsaparilla

Marcus is slaying today

there have been some fucking whipsmart people in the chat lately, it gives me such hope

Matt: which film?

Digging this Radium Dolls! Old punk silliness at it's finest.

Marcus. Ghost Dog. A mafioso sings the song, it's hilarious.

@john totally with you! that song actually makes me laugh out loud. so good.

Great film!

Maraudeur!

Lordy the french love their vowels

Dope song!

i'm telling you, so much new music to love!!

Yeah this new music two hours is inspiring. Finger on da pulse and all dat yaknow innit

Jen is rocking the house!

hahah how can we go wrong just playing lots and lots of great records

and if you're having fun, tell your friends! pledge.wprb.com

every little bit helps!

Jen I just had a rando memory of Hamms beer in clear plastic cups at Cattle Club Sacto (RIP) for $2 LOLOLOL

pour one out for $2 beers!

and 7 Seconds telling the crowd not to be destructive meatheads LOL

A "pulga" is a flea in Portuguese

ah that's right! it so fits the band

the Cattle Club also offered a $3 beer for the more affluent, also served in a plastic cup

the easier for crushing on foreheads

Jen, just thought of a request for next show if ye feel it, anything by hardcore band Missionary Position ("Coronary" is especially good)

noted! i'll see what i can do!

It's kinda rare but findable. For some reason my search is turning up "mormon hardcore band Tartar Control." What? Lol

HAHAHHA

maybe they mean a Positive Dental Outlook

Crest! The Cavity Creeps

Jen, I did hear a new band I liked, Hedge Burners

those oddball hardcore bands are great, like the krishnacore band 108. Total niche hardcore.

Love this Dead Moon tune!! 🖤

oh cool, @marcus, will check that out! @richard YESSSSS
