Chat is archived.

just saw the show name, love it haha

Oh nice new chat and everything!

so shiny

hope everyone makes it over ok!

here for papir

Shiny......................................................................................................................................

@zach ;)

@dave!!!!

did anyone meet their 2025 goals/resolutions before the epic-for-the-heck-of-it-end?

if i made any 2025 resolutions, I've since forgotten them ;)

Still here.

@richard outstanding!

@Zach, Big rescheduling event earlier this year. lol

thats a good one

true, survival was a good goal this year

Digi till you drop Richard!

i've missed my christmas deadline i have set for myself for many years running to finish my novel. I did not miss it this year!

@roffle :D

you finished a NOVEL!? as in writing one? amazing!!

I've made the switch!

yay, @jon! that was relatively seamless!

yes i did, just the other night during Jon's Hannukah show

Though I need to go find a shirt with buttons and some better slaaaaaaacks for a Hanukkah party.

@zach and what nicer timing. That show was very awesome, btw.

SLACKS

75,500 words and almost ten years later....

Congrats Zach, greetings all

@zach congratulations!

thanks!

@guelo welcome!

Way to go, Zach!

thanks jon, been listening to wprb the whole time so a real group effort

💥

🖤🔥📻🎶

are we having fun now?

YES WE ARE

rage, rage against the dying of the light

i cannot WAIT until days start getting longer

hang on for a few more days. you can do it

Good music…homemade pizza in the oven..cold cheap beer on table=FUN

@chris i'll make it!

mmm pizza

friday nights are sacred.

with good reason

i really hate the fact that everytime i refresh the play list i have log on to the chat again.

Love this song so much

oh geez, that's super lame, @chris....not sure why it does that :/ Maybe 2 diff browsers are in order.

@kelly yeeeeeeah!

@Chris..I get the same thing

@jen that's a genius solution to re login thing and ive never thought of it

dbl browsie!

@zach right on, glad it's helpful! the other option is I think to sign into the browser itself (eg, if you're on Chrome and using google login)

@Chris Geary, https://spinitron.com/WPRB/

End the redundant log in issue, but it lacks links.

Some links, that is

also i dont want to sit at my computer. i just spent all day doing that. hence why im always listening but seldom here

Yeah, makes everybody nutzo. That's why I go to spintron on chatty days.

Hey Chris… Good to see I'm not the only one that has problems with the way things run on the website. This is no reflection on how I feel about the station still my favorite but when the "upgrade" happened to the stations website things went downhill. I complained on a couple chats, but it pretty much got crickets. So what the hell I just moved on. But there's a plethora of problems that weren't there before they "fixed" something that was never broken in the first place.

Dragnet record is super good.

@chris just happy you're enjoying listening!

@jon better every time i hear it!

@g jax i'd be interested in hearing more! for sure we're not optimized to perfection, but it'd be helpful to learn about bugs! if you have time, maybe you can send notes to manager@wprb.com ?

This is going to be a stellar best of season.

@roffle, so much great music arrived this year. And I can't wait to hear from the other DJs. I'm sure they have a million things I never heard.

Copy the Json code from Spintrons's site and just cut and paste.

January is the month I really unload on getting music. You wonderful people do all the research.

it's a good plan! post-holiday shopping for self ... :}

Righto! Me time!

Yeah, Jen that's a good idea. I probably should've done that back when the change happened instead of bitching about it in chats.haha really what it was more than anything was the redesign is not as user-friendly, especially if you're listening on the phone. I don't think there's problems would be there at all on a laptop or desktop.. And yes, having to log back on after you refresh the playlist is just ridiculous.

ehhh i like it. i think its neat

right on, thanks for letting me know. I can see why the login is super annoying! On the phone, do you use the mobile website or the radiothink app? I find the latter far more usable....

I can make my home AI buddy code anything I want. Just ask, but I need to be spicific.

Unfortunately it won't do my laundry.

darn AI needs to clean bathrooms, too

IKR?

my least fave home cleaning job

Just lost power had to go to mobile. Easy peasy lemon squeezey.

@zach oh no!

Well, part of the problem is for me. I'm always listening in the car. That's why most of the things that I actually do put in the chat is all jumbled up because I'm speaking into this. But it really is difficult on the phone compared to the way it once was. It was a noticeable difference when things changed.

It was a quick one but the internets gonna take a minute

gotcha, @G Jax (and I love when people are listening in the car! the best). if you have a moment to send us notes on the specifics, it'd be awesome so we can try to troubleshoot.

I mean, I can get by with the way things are it's not like it's at the top of my priority list. But it was easier before and it's more like a minor annoyance now.

thanks for sticking it out anyway!

The fledgling early chat was a different animal.

i'm still tickled that we HAVE a chat!

it's fun times

Ultimate realtime feedback

exactly! how else could we conjure entertaining ideas like sth and the sth songs

This chat is awesome. I get so much info it's insane.

me too!

as I've said here before - WFMU has an awesome chat feature - lets you save favorite songs on y our profile.

The funny thing is, I used to bust the balls of some XPN jerk off because their website was worse than this one and still is. It's terrible and I used to say to him you have like 18,000 times the budget of PRB yet when I stream your station, you logged me off every 10 minutes and then every time I come back on I gotta listen to your stupid commercial. I'm not a big fan of XPN really but I do like waking up on the weekends listening to their sleepy Hollow program but it's more trouble than it's w

ohhhhh i have never noticed the favorites thing!

and you can see other peoples profiles to see what songs theyve liked

@g jax seriously if we had the web budget... :}

@francis that's cool!

That is interesting.

the cost for that little bit of data is likely nominal for saving users favs

Not sure if I want that. lol

Actually I left off a zero, XPN probably has 180,000 the budget of you. Money can't stop you from sucking. I really can't stand him ha ha . I like that sleepy hallow show and I like Ben Vaughn that's it.

hahahahaahah

clicky starred that one

oh yah this is nice

okay my laptop speakers are a thousand times better than my phone speakers, that was like two different songs

Sleepy Hollow used to be very nice on a morning after. Now it has really fucked up volume levels for their dopey commercials. No that's.

phone speakers are near pointless

loved that psych porn crumpets song! thought it was king giz for a second

that record is really growing on me! totally King Gizz adjacent. Also I keep thinking of Primal Scream.

i'll check it out

Is this At the Drive-In dudes?

@kelly i don't think so? I always mix them up with Desaparecidos, who have Bright Eyes peeps...

By the way, Jen, why are you here now? I'm assuming filling in really nice to hear you at this time my drive home from work have sucked ever since ready left

Looked it up and, nope, no ATDI dudes

Great show..thanks for the extra music.good night

Yeah, great stuff tonight

Without music right now, I don't I don't even wanna think about it

@kelly 👍🏻

@g jax Agent Emi couldn't make it today, and I thought 5 hours in a row sounded fun! and it IS FUN

@housewife FOR SURE

@carlos you are more than welcome :}

Yeah, I wish this was a regular thing five hours of running red lights. Sounds like many collisions.

hahah thank you!

geese is my #1 of the year, close seconds are oklou - choke enough and the new yeule album. also liked the new barker and oneohtrix point never. curious what other ppl recommend from 2025

right on, i haven't even heard of most of those, cool! thanks for sharing.

digging this set thanks! also weirder compliment- the cadence of your voice is really engaging lol but yeah loving dancing to this

MY 2025 recs are "Flight to Dubai" and "Royal Headache" even though they came out 10 years ago

@cedar thank you for the kind words! glad you're enjoying the show!

love the chat here. listening in pdx or. yes especially in a war ravaged area, music - and prb, chatting listeners, gets me thru the days of our demise!

@francis all recommendations are good recommendations! right on

oh and jen, you really get to stretch out today! 5 hours? you might even dip into the record library!?

@kristin thanks so much for being here! and I am streeeeeeeeetching for sure!

sorry about your war-torn 'hood ;)

Ground Zero!

Whoa- thought this was Wire at first

they are certainly nodding in that direction!

Be safe and well kristin!

wire plus a dash of the fall...

thanks kerr... and good luck to us all trying to stay safe these days.

at least they haven't killed the radio yet

SURVIVORS

Every generation gets a weird ride.

crazy that this cover is from '66

Oh wow - you're right - sounds much newer. Also never realized How much of the Jams sound comes from that Beatles song

influences all over the place here!

Buzzcocks cover!!!!

Such a good cover, too!

I remember reading about Poster Children

Poster Children were truly fantastic

WPRB favorites!

This song speaks to my inner child.

@roffle your inner child is very naughty

I just show up. :)

The funky drummer appeared for like 3 seconds just now

and then it went away

Yeah, that funky sticks guy.

oh geez

get that guy out of here

The seconds is funny, three minutes is all hands on deck. lol

😬

i walk away for a couple minutes to get a sandwich and i miss doomfunk! oh no

Never fear Zach, He is on high rotation with an occasional instant reply.

hahah no more funky doom

sound is ok now, yes?

Very good! Just the hiccup.

no issues for last 30-40 min

stupid drummer keeps thinking we're saying funky when we meant little drummer boy

HA!

Honest mistake.

surely someone has made a funky version of little drummer boy. we'll have to ask DJ Jon when he's back

That would be golden!

This Band! Yes!

I love their energy

can't wait to see them again. they are so darn tight.

I would even stand for this band, and that gets old as one gets older.

hahah i hear you!

Digging this PLOSIVS

it's really great. i think i like it more than the first one.

I think "Death Kicks in" is just bonkers cool.

the drums on that last bit.....

They know how to hold back on the symbol crashes until it counts.

speaking of cymbal crashes....

I hear Beatles 'She Said" in this mess. This is a compliment by the way.

interesting!

it's a wild mess

The beauty of music is everything is influenced by everything in some way. And I'm always dissecting things and hearing things that not everybody always hears, but sometimes they do…

This song makes me want to go to the copa cabana

And I have to admit I might be hearing things that aren't even there. Haha

Yeah going to the Copa with Napoleon dynamite

i love hearing connections other people make in the music...

hahahah

Jen fun to hear eggs - i've been on a teenbeat run recently since mark robinson was in portland the other week for solo show at a small club. lotsa fun.

and eggs are so good. i played them the other day on XRAY fm

oh super fun! they have always been a blast. I didn't know Mark Robinson was playing around! I did get to see the Tsunami super group with Rob from Eggs whenever that was ... springtime?

Here's that BBC-TV special: https://youtube.com/watch?v=_tKE-hDDgZQ

What was playing behind you just now? I was Shazaming it, but nothing was coming up. Shazam is pretty amazing. I can't believe the stuff that it gets right. Like really obscure stuff this played on the station it gets often.

yes, @david! thanks!

I do miss the NW scene so. I've lived all over western Wa. and a couple of Years in Longview. Rainbow Room was good.

@kristin do you know the Macks? I think they are from your neck of the woods.

@GJax I speak over Kinski "Daydream Intonation"

Thanks

you bet! awesome record

I saw the Macks six years ago in Highlands.

oh wild, i didn't know they have been around so long!

love the latest record

were they good?

https://www.facebook.com/david.shortell.1/videos/10211879149094075

oh cool will check that out later!

jen no didn't know the macks - will look further into them! and iirc mark r. is touring with wedding present next year...

oh right on! that'll be fun

Solemn Brigham🔊🎶

so groovy

this has been an amazing afternoon of tunes!!!

thanks Jen!

thanks so much, @richard! I appreciate the company! :}

so much more to come! Dana K is up next!

perfect friday!

so much fun, as it should be

yeah jen sets been great!

Man, I loved the whole 5 hours! And weirdly my laundry finally comes out of the drier at 8:03pm.

thanks, all of you! it's been a blast!

Thank you, Jen!

fun stuff, thank you!

you are welcome, @rob and @milkbuff! thanks for hanging out!

have a great weekend, everyone.

Have good holiday times Jen. Appreciate this. See you.
