Total Tobias Fri Jan 9 with John Tobias on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Chat is on.

I created my own technical difficulties. Now corrected

I know, right

I have been clicked in all day. Happy to have you in my digiteria. I hope you have a great show.

Listening to SMIRK song, I was hearing “ I don’t care”

@John..what happened to that snappy opening song you used to play?

Intro I mean

whoa....extreme 80s high school nostalgia tune for me

Carlos,it had as detractors as fans

as many

tobias Tobias TOBIAS 💥💥💥

glad, I could help Andrew, I hope

Jimbooooo is a fan of that intro

This was my wedding song for my third marriage

Eveinin' John and HNY! Hello the Chat. Sounding great John.

Thanks Ambrose - HPY, too.

Thanks Richard...just seeing this now.

More buzzcocks in anyway shape or form

Buzzcocks -esque for sure

This was my wedding song for my third marriage J Beach boys' I get around?

What about your fourth?

I wish I could get a date. the WPRB chat has not granted me with my custard desert.

Howdy John and everyone!

Hello Rob

First and only weeding song..Joey Ramone and Beth Holly Vincent..” I got you babe”

Wedding

nice

Rob's here! {Quick hide the birds}

🐦

Had to bring the 45 to the DJ..he never heard of it

Good planning

Nice. Come out to my car for my drive home and it's the always elusive (for me) Total Tobias. Awesome, totally awesome

Lucky both of us. Next Monday at 6 pm btw

Cool.

I think the Hotnights may be Swedish..remember seeing them at Khyber with Flaming sideburns and Division of Laura Lee ..all Swedes tour..of course such things wouldn’t be permitted these days

yes, I think that is their homeland

get your ass to the kyhber pass.

been there countless times

Eventually Tina Weymouth hated him. I recently got a copy of Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & The Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream

My fav Swedish band are the Hellacopters. Well them and ABBA haha

Many to choose from

lots of drama like most bands, LW

Fear of Music is the best Talking Heads album. Sorry, not sorry.

Flaming Sideburns I think are from somewhere else over there right?

I could be wrong tho

unsure Jax

JC - it's debatable

@G Jax..from Sweden with singer from Argentina..one of their albums featured a goal call from a World Cup game as the opening track

What exactly is broccoli punk?

flaming Caucasians? I shopped on the Airport road South of Oakland. We wanted TTl logic chips.

Ok thanx Carlos. I really wasn't sure. Cool band no mater where from

unsure Ear

This is great, my fave version would be 13th Floor Elevators

also heat sinks. This was when the 555 chip was hot .. .... heat sinks.

Many of the bands from Sweden got exposure when the Hives broke thru

true

Flaming Caucasians??? What is Hawaiian Shirt Gonzo Friday or something

I remember the Hives but also don't remember the Hives.

The Hellacopters were heavier than the hives

yes they were

I just goggled Flaming Sideburns. Says they were from Finland not Sweden. But the singer is Argentinian. I honestly didn't know any of the stuff before I googled it. Anyway, speaking of Finland, Hanoi Rocks, baby

thank you internet

Hanoi Rocks was fanfuckintastic

at least their CCR cover

Nah every thing about them. Great band. I like their CCR cover though.

Gjax..thanks for the correction..singer from the homeland..probably how I came upon then

Thanks John for that Pre Wee Crayton, new to me!👍

yeah, it altered my opinion on some things

Yeah when I said I thought they were from somewhere else I just knew the singer was. But I really didn't know where. And then when I found out they were from Finland that just gave me an excuse to bring up Hanno rocks. I really love that band.

Sounds like a rabbit hole

Just do t look up Hanoi Rocks and Motley Crew link..not a happy ending

yes, I remeber

remember

And that girl of mine had this picture of Razzle holding her taken about a month or so before he died. I think they were at the chestnut cabaret, but I'm not sure if that's where it was.

this is news to me

I didn't say that girl of mine. The stupid thing I hate talking into it I said ex-girlfriend.

I'm here john!

Cool, thanks

Thanks for subbing! It's always an exciting surprise to catch your show

thanks, I'll be back Monday at 6 pm

For years I thought Psychotic Reaction was the Yardbirds. I remembered it from when I was a teenager hearing it here or there on WMMR so in the early days of Napster I downloaded it mislabeled as The Yardbirds. Probably an easy mistake to make though

similar territory

this is a literal banger

@Ears (5:37), I am still finding birds even though they are hidden. Even though they are Good Flying Birds

Or geese

it's all connected

Oh hey there!

hello

I didn't expect to turn on my Total Tobias machine and hear some techno. Great stuff tonight man

gotta keep you on your toes

Hi John, great show tonight !

Thanks, I'll be back on Monday at 6 pm. just sayin'

That Dry Cleaning song sounds a little different than their earlier material. My wife had already purchased their new record so we will be exploring it shortly

it sounds promising so far

Morre cowbella

that should be the tour name

is that where they got the name from?

got it

I'm sure they be happy when they see this chat

Kid Congo on my bucket list.

same

thanks for all the chatting tonight folks. Stay tuned for Dana K.

See ya Monday at 6 pm

Thanks for all the music tonight, John. Hopefully we'll catch you on Monday!

Thanks Rob
