Running Redlights Sat Jan 24 with Jen on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Daytime listening, sup Jen!

whoa, @TAndy!

welcome to the light!

So delighted to come after Dan today! It's a good day.

Opening with GY! <3

They were speaking to my mood this morning 100%

There was some seriously heavy music at some points during Dan's, it was such a treat.

oh that's great! He's a king among DJs!

we can definitely manage more heavy this afternoon. how's the weather?

Jen I bear two recs forya: Beta Voids (on bandcamp), and Perra Brava (Mexico City, on bandcamp as well). Smart 'n' punky.

oh awesome, i'll add those to the must check out list!

I'm running a 98.95 quantum odds you'll dig 'em both. Check out "Baby's in Detox" by BVs.

Perra Brava has a female drummer who gives me chills she reminds me of the Spitboy drummer now professor.

oh neat -- thanks for the tip!

It's 8 degrees F, What the F?

I live in a cold valley always 5 to 10 below surroundings. Gonna go below zero. I cant wait. (Viking blud.)

EIGHT DEGREES

oooof that sounds rough, friends

Keep it locked yall -- Jen into DebbieWebbie. We will witness the great crossover.

it's a huge WPRB day!!!

I do my best thinking in subzero weather. I connect with the Old Ones. The primordial ones. The cosmic leprechauns.

the cosmic leprechauns were cold?

GODSPEEEED - hi JEN TNXX for subbbbing !!

sup matt and drezner

hello, and you're welcome! always a treat to hear some Godspeed. I hope someone on the turnpike right now just lost their minds.

aaaaaaaaaand the chat is unhinged in first twelve minutes. Mission accomplished. We will be fine.

SUP TAndy. I summoned ye yesterday during this DJ Jen chick.

Wait oh shit DJ DebbieWebby is on at 6?? NICE

It worked! I'm just slow :)

TAndy I recommend a nice hybrid with pine terpenes.

haha i love the conjuring of chat friends.

I challenged Debbie to play the brutal Weeping Sores band. We'll see. WPRB DJs meet the challenge, and exceed.

Lololol

hey what a coincidence, the live resin cart i'm using is a hybrid with hella myrcene terps by nature

Weed coffee and WPRB through da artic blast.

i chose red bull because the quick chek near me never refills their cappuccino machines. only the one at the train station does that lol

ah good intel TAndy

Jen this goatbell moment recalls a crazy moment at the end of a song by israeli dissident band Emok. (Wrong Records, very rare)

Hi everyone!

hey rob!

howdy, @rob!

@mats i don't know if I have heard them! writing that down too.

I just wonder who drew the short straw to go use a baseball bat to knock ice off the transmission tower.

Ice birding today Rob?

hahahaha @roffle

TAndy I always admire a dude who knows his terps. Well played. Enjoy.

Jen, Emok was insane. Played at Pianos in NYC in the 2000s. 3 israeli dissidents and the music is full of middle east tension. Heavy af.

I look forward to checking it out!

Hi TAndy and Jen! It's warmed up to 19 degrees in my neighborhood. Which is like more than 20 degrees colder than the same time yesterday. And the snow fun starts tonight, and the frozen water show starts tomorrow afternoon

Roff LOL! My fave is when transformers explode. My grandpa was a lineman after WW2. Never blew himself up somehow.

@Roffle, no birding today of any sort. Too f'ing cold. I am working on compiling some bird surveys though

Pure magic blue when they blow Matt!

@rob that's crazy!! always fascinating to really FEEL a front coming in , though

Rob yer dedication is hella impressive.

good point Jen

If only thay were not chock full of PCB's

I am SURE someone on the turnpike right now just lost their minds - -

Bird book keeping is on another level Rob. lol

@a drezner i love the image so much! someone's music awakening just happened

The Turnpike is a compromise of sanity just to be on it.

which is why spiritual awakening would be so perfect

drone drone boring boring drone OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS

Jen, once I stood outside with a thermometer when a front came through and I watched the temperature drop 5 or more degrees in the space of maybe 10? 15? minutes.

What up Roff!

Jen, a spiritual awakening via the Australian band Spiritual Mafia?

@rob that is so neat!! I seriously regret not having studied meteorology sometimes. That and linquistics.

@Roffle, it is indeed on another level

or linguistics, even. Spiritual Mafia would definitely jolt the unsuspecting driver!

Johnny Thunders! Dayum that is true school punk.

Hey TA! Watched any cool plane deicing this week? :)

@Mats, this radio show is helping my dedication to compiling the bird surveys

@mats so punk that I have to cut off the beginning of the song to be able to play it on air

@rob 💕 🐦‍⬛

dammit roffle you made me look up how they do that on youtube, and the narrator said "And then comes the green stuff" andd I busted out the ugliest chortle.

Jen that guitar recalls Fu Manchu circa Clone of the Universe

the wah-fuzz as FM say

or, fuzz-wah. At the Wawa.

Matt Fuzz-wah

hahahah

fuzz at the wawa is sketchy

we gotta summon that crazy bastahd Ossy/Ozzy

haha do it

o snap it's the fuzz

TAndy lol! The fuzz, the brass, the heat.

TAndy... lol

Ah, good ol' Charlie Duda.

Sucky Beach !!!!

hahahah good ole shitty beach

Sucky Beach & the Piss Shivers

Jen is there any Sleaford Mods in yer magic hat

Jersey has the best shitty beaches going.

Sleaford Mods always a voice of reason in these times.

i love the NJ beaches! And yes to Sleaford Mods, good idea.

I had a dream last night of a big hairy Orangutan with wings sitting on the very top of the Pine trees over on Basking Ridge. I miss Manasquan.

Roff haaaaaaa. The early 1900s shark attacks off NJ were wild. NJ in the early 1900s musta been like da wild west.

Lester THAT WAS NO DREAM

Those beaches are not for swimming, they are for trash collection.

I will admit that the last time I swam there, it was with many jellyfish.

What did ever happen to the Jellyfish Apocalypse?

My cousin got Red Eye From a Red Tide. Go figure/

oof!

Where the Seven Seas are mostly dead, and its Jellyfish all the way down. Plus why are they so poisonous?

When. And when does the news cycle go back to that Red Tide? Has 17 phases I am told.

Getting stung by a jellyfish is an incredibly unique pain. One got me on the Cape Cod. Total stealth jellyfish. Pretty good for no brain and no organs (the jellyfish).

hahahahah

Texas is the same, jelly fish and bull sharks lurking all over the place. Yuck!

oooogh i have my radio and the webstream on so that delay was crazyyyy

more important, the south has bugs that fly and are the size of toddlers. way worse.

@TAndy both! wild

TAndy I have experienced that. Glitch in da matrix!

Jen haaaa ye olde palmetto bugs. Those things are beyond punk. They seem drunk half the time.

i am certain they have opposable thumbs

NOT INTERESTED

Jen haaaaaaa!!

Palmetto bugs are like gym-going June bugs who got into moonshine fumes.

and carry clubs and flip you off as they land

Pretty sure all palmetto bugs huff model car glue. They have that huffer/ether energy.

oh my god imagine living where toebiters dwell

haaaaaa!! Where Toebiters Dwell, speaking of Lovecraft

Boxelder bugs (Boisea trivittata) are true bugs. Heartfelt bugs, sincere bugs, Valentine bugs. My kind of bug. Nat an Ambush Bug at all.

nice segue there DJ

Feets were made for walkin' and that would do it for me TA.

Ambush Bug!!

Your feet are gonna get ambushed

Ambush Bugs

Saw Palmetto bugs can go forever without urinating

ambush bug vs xyloprawn, the battle of the decade.

Do they eventually explode?

Well then feets don't fail me now...

G Jax haaaaa!

#xyloprawncore

bad video, but local philly group. They were actually pretty good all in all. Rocco sacco on the Mic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gWaKPMp4io

I hate her!

helluva comp title there w the Chandra

That comp rules. Who are we hating on?

excellent use of hyphenation

Mike T comin out the corner swangin! Throwin roundhouses! I love it

KATE!

Chandra!!! Fuck yes

hahahaha NOT FAIR

@jas welcome!!

Literally what I needed in this weather

I think Chandra is doing stuff now that Mike Hunter and Number 6 would play.

I am so glad to provide. I think anyone with an ex called Kate is also pleased.

and no shit, I think she recorded this as a pre-teen

teeny boppers

fock my sperghetti sauce done froze

doh

plan B: "sketti" (southern version of spaghetti, catsup, butter)

ha if you have a pan, you can defrost sauce

oh chit Jen you get 3 hours today, just realized

YES I DO

Catsup is the betterer way to spell that condiment..

You even have time for "You Suffer" by Napalm Death, at one second long.

catsup started as a joke but i actually like it better now

G Jax thanx!

Is also the way cool felines greet each other

delightfully named!! LOL! Reminds me of when Jon S played "the unfortunately-named band" John Cougar Concentration Camp

Chandra has a sad story, from WIkipedia:

In 2009, Chandra began experiencing symptoms of what was eventually diagnosed as burning mouth syndrome, as a result of which she is unable to sing, speak, laugh or cry without suffering intense pain. She has thus been rendered effectively mute.

Nothing unfortunate about that name though

I think that's a different Chandra.

Kate's Chandra is from Britain.

John Cougar Concentration Camp. Hahaha

Maybe I'm wrong.

Think so.

I so admired Jon for playing that band. That is true grit. G Jax

@g jax catsup hahahahah

I worked at a place for a while printing CDs and a lot of indie bands had namesthink names like that started with Brian Jonestown Massacre

@mats, it's true, no one wants to say that out loud.

saw the Orcutt Shelley Miller at Pappys here in Caly was xtremely good whata TRIO !!!

i always wonder if they regret those names later

@a drezner oh nice!!

I love names like that though

a drezner NICE! I visited Pap & H's once but ended up at the other bar. Great town. They banned drones.

i sadly missed Bill doing teh LOUIE LOUIE here .. that is MASTERFULL

What I hate are XPN type bands that have names like First Aid Kit. C'mon

Pappy & H's is a tiny place, but they draw big names like Fu Manchu, Melvins, Paul McCartney, and have been especially influential in bringing stoner rock to the masses

+ MNTL

YES pappys is xcllent @mats

armitage!!

up the shanks

phenoinal setting as well [in the desert for those that dont know] - def recommend

i've been there for lunch only!

the food is FANTASTIC - jen when were you there, it was sold a few yrs ago + menu is not the same but still good BBQ ..

oh good to know! ya it's been a minute for sure

1959 spooky rock! Huwhat!!

it's like johnny cash meets some current surf horror band

they had the BEST!!! chocolate cake .. ..

i really feel like a road trip now

desert town disappearer

#DOIT

driving to the desert is the BEST

i love a desert road trip best! hahaha jinx!

it's a TRIP for sure ..

i have a hard life memory of speeding through the mojave at night listening to Trail of the Dead. Maybe time to listen to some.

LOUDAAAAA

we just made someone drive off the road

yes: Trail of the Dead.time !!! headlights on --- he we gooo

TAndy lolol

nice some CPPPNG ...

CLPPNGGG

good clipping, not bad, DJ

Jen the great and troubled state of Mississippi appreciates the love the last two days

Oi up the Mods then

i want to play clipping at the government

Thanks Jen!

🤘🏻

YES MISTER [stylish] JASON W.

thank god someone did this editing for me. that's intense work.

hahah he is!

Love how Sleaford has boiled down punk to its bare roots, absolutely no room for BS

he's OBSESSIVE w clothes ..

Damn….I thought it was Sunday at 3..going to be my soundtrack for football game

fock me sardines froze too

Carlos out there in the Mopar Chevy! Locked to wprb.

yes the new CLPNG release lyrics are really poignant //

Clipping is pretty amazing. kind of perfect for the day.

Oh new Sault!! Nice

the new Sault is particularly great!

@mats did you put your food outside?

Jen haaaaaa left it in the trunk o' the car

this song has the funk

disco party funk!

o_O creep disco -------love the dissonance <3

also <3 <3 <3 for mladic earlier !!

Lucy C we creepin

@lucy haha creep disco!! the title alone is a little creepy

we're always all for Godspeed

i used to be soooo obsessed w/ gybe maybe like a year or two ago

don't stop!!

their live shows also rule for the films, which are pretty darn cool

YESSS i saw them live this past May I think? Played their last album in its entirety and then some

NIIIIIIICE!

I used to be totally into their live bootlegs, 2002-03 era was unmatched

ooooh ok that i would like to hear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-9e4AjwwKY https://archive.org/details/gybe2003-05-14 these are two of my favs

taking the notes, thanks!

l'echangeur is great and super heavy, l'olympic is also great and has recordings of mladic (albanian) and we drift like worried fire (gamelan)

which is sick cuz they're both pre-hiatus

HOT TIPS this is awesome thanks!

I'm pretty sure it's actually one of the only recordings of live Gamelan we have (and it's great)

ofc !

🤘🏻

TRAIL O THE DEAD 👌

love these guys so much

strobelight party!

sounds like a good time!

Took the dog to the park. County worker was there clipping some variety of a Honeysuckle. Claimed it was an invasive species. Saturday afternoon. We had a semi long conversation about the clean up of the Schuylkill liver. These are the county workers I love.

we in Ahab territory! Those sprawling desert rabbitholes

Big love to Dr. Capt. Ahab

Yas!

I try to summon her, but this will have to do.

@lester trimming in the cold?? wild

This current track is reminding me of something from Gong's "You" or "Angel's Egg" album

Call me Ishmail. Call me Tandy, call me anything, except late for dinner.

@rob oh right on, i don't know that one

Check them out Jen, 70s prog!

I am ALL OVER that

Lester is in the Cold As Fuck Clipping Club. I am, however, founder of the Cold As Fuck BBQ Club of Outdoor BBQing in Wintertymes.

Yup. he was there trimming what he called 'invasive species' Very thoughtful person. We both knew the history of restoring the Schuylkill river. 'Culm' had accumulated.

so many good audience tips in this chat! thanks, friends

And still faves of mine, something that The Clash, Flipper, Minor Threat could never wash away

Rob MD Lol! That which remains

@lester my best friend is a botanist, so I have been schooled on invasive species -- they infiltrate! made me feel better when some big trees near me went down, though. Apparently they were naughty .

@rob speaking of prog

also speaking of Clash - we are doing this! February 6th on regular Friday RR.

@Matt…outdooor grilling now..gas or charcoal?

Say that again Mat. Say it again. If you do- we may nominate you for a ZZ Top prize signature gs grill. Golden.

Jen I have to find that footage of child street buskers playing Clash and a dude from the Clash walks up

2/6/26. Noted on calender

Lester LOL

@ Jen I kinda thought that too. My Tamarillo plant is dying.

@Jen I will do my best to be here for your International Clash Day show! It's on my calendar

wonderful!

the Brown Acid comps are wild and worthwhile

Sweden? We drink troll blood to get that (this) way, filtered thru volcanic rock.

they are amazing

Zorn: (consults notes) okay folks this song is gonna start with a woman screaming

the comps. likely also the swedes.

Jen is Joey Baron on da drums here?

Alright, Zorn on Running Redlights!!

I wanted to drive down that Botany path. Ah finally John Zorn. We always knew him as JZ. Jazzy Jeff. Isn't this his birthday today?

i didn't know zorn got so spOOky 👻👻👻👻

not sure! and this record is seriously the best thing ever.

How do I even know if this is real?

Lester I'll fire up the Resonator and tell me if you see the eels and such

As we say in the market. GLTA. Good luck to all. and all the best to others. And let me say this as well.

If you find yourself in a hole. start digging. There's gold down there.

Lester I'm more into GTA 3: Vice City

eels!!

@lucy the zorn filmworks, also amazing

Wheels? Eels? Feels? Kneels? I don't mean to be contrary, just Congealed.

Love all serve all But Sever Alt takes.

Jen, enjoyed driving around listening for about an hour. Only able to say so via chat now!

Solomon out there like Max Rockatansky

I'm definitely mad today, which he and I have in common.

@jon so glad you're here! thanks for saying hello.

Stranger Than Paradise. It was quite a snowstorm. Shoplifting is quite sophisticated.

@Jon I always knew you were Mad. but more in a mercurial sense.

I think Jon leans more saturnine, Lester

I just wanted to use saturnine in a sentence, it doesn't fit Jon at all actually.

hahaha

This is as legendary as Dopesmoker now

TAndy LOLOLOLOL good point

ha already?

Mike Donofrio and Jennifer Baron are pretty Saturnine.

WZRN all Zorn (whispers) all the tiiiiimmmeeeee

given today's world there prolly is an all-Zorn station somewhere

I mean, if Ween Radio once existed 24/7/365

if there's a just god

he certainly has made enough music to populate one!

struggling to choose between all zorn and all zeuhl

HAHAH why choose?

a very niche audience, I'd imagine

An Abnormal set of listeners!

TAndy at the precipice of the human condition, as Rush explore on Hemispheres

Brewin coffee so I can go straight into Debbie Metal in linear, euclidean fashion

Wild choice Jen! Keep em on their feet. Great to hear Zorn. I always enjoy the Naked City and Zorn variations.

it's a beautiful thing to have 3 hours at my disposal ;)

thanks for hanging out today, friends!

An awesome show today Jen, thank you!! Without it I wouldn't have compiled the bird surveys so quickly. Hopefully I'll be listening on the 30th and the 6th and beyond!

that's so nice to hear! congrats on finishing your surveys! See you soon then

Ah, that time already. Thank you so much for the show, Jen!

time flies, friend. thanks for being here!

so inspired I'ma start a punk band name of Strippers on NyQuil

very nice ending, Jen, cider punx 'round the campfire imagery and whatnot

Jen, Walter on line 1

🚥🚦🚥🚦🚥🚦🚥🚦🚥🚦🚥🚦🚥🚦🚨🚨🚨💥💥💥

yeooooooooooo

Jen I had it happen too, in ye olde Oakland LOL. The invisible bike blues.

Thank you Jen. It was a rare treat, lately, for me, to hear your show. Stay Well!

It is ridic cold out there. (Goes outside)

hi @mike - I'm so glad you were here! thanks a bunch!

@jimbooooo!

@mats dude, get those sardines

I ate the sardines and spaget sauce, am ready for da big blizzahd

you can beat this thing!

breakfast/dinner of champions

I got 5 gal diesel for my tractor and a gallon of kale bean stew

Jen enjoy the Beta Voids and Perra Brava, and have yerself an adult beverage. Well done.

which is essentially also diesel for your tractor! love me some kale bean

i shall indeed! thanks for the tips!

jimbooooooo out there like Max Rockatansky

jimboooooo, Carlos has a Chevy Mopar cam
