Total Tobias

Jan 23, 2026 8:00 PM – 11:00 PM

Music

With John Tobias

Total Tobias is mostly newish indie rock in many of its’ forms while genre hopping, decade hopping and language hopping sometimes all in one song

Your Storm Prep Soundtrack

Still plenty of top 2025 hits to play along with a variety of PRB-style rock and roll.

Like or follow John Tobias Radio Host on Facebook for future show updates. It will probably be awhile as the new season begins.

I just left the tattoo convention in Philadelphia and I was very sad and that there was no one that was standing up for humanity and peace. It seems that people just want attention off social media but are not really serious about humanity and world peace I thank you for your music because it keeps me knowing that someone out there cares
Rob from Maryland 🦀 8:07:46 PM

@Rob Still no announcement yet, they're still in the "IF we do a hard close" mindset. It's just irresponsible.

David Shortell 9:12:54 PM
I'm sure the Hermits performed that live in America at the time when the Kinks were banned in this country.
John Tobias (host) 9:14:20 PM

Marcus Haupt 9:46:53 PM
"Die" is pronounced "Dee" in German
John Tobias (host) 9:47:14 PM
TAndy, I can't pick a #1 - so much great stuff. I couldn't even keep to three shows.
Marcus Haupt 9:47:49 PM
unless that's not German and they hate Mark Spitz
John Tobias (host) 9:47:57 PM
yeah, I'm no linguist. I struggle with English. Thanks, i hope I remember during next set break.

@John & @Marcus, I just went back to the live at KEXP video of Die Spitz and the dj/announcer pronounced "Die" the English way, not the German way
Marcus Haupt 9:59:38 PM
I guess it's Death To Mark Spitz then
Alan Parsec 10:00:43 PM
Hey, Hi DJ John Tobias! Just joining the chat now. Like you said at the beginning of the show...a Real Banger!!! 💥💥💥!
John Tobias (host) 10:00:45 PM
That was me actually trying
Marcus Haupt 10:01:00 PM
John, you said "Day Spitz" instead of "Die Spitz" or "Dee Spitz".
John Tobias (host) 10:01:02 PM
Thanks Alan
Marcus Haupt 10:01:18 PM
