"Hateful" by Young No. 1. Running Redlights Fri Feb 6 with Jen on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Hi Jen again!

Hello Jen! The Clash did this song on SNL

howdy, @roffle and @marcus! i did not know that!

Hi Jen, Marcus, and Roffle!

Furniture is pushed back in case a one person mosh pit or pogo will take place

hi friends! @carlos perfect! hahaha

Whoops. Set an alarm before the show started yet I spaced out for three minutes checking emails before pressing play.

Carlos gets it

And here is a video of them performing it (btw I didn't know that either) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8crblHMX7Q

Jon focus champ

Hi Carlos and Mats

And Jon

Jon let's tighten up focus babe, this is international

happy Int'l Clash Day!

@jon glad you made it!

love that you set an alarm. :}

Hello! I am focused now AND in front of my radio unlike the past two Fridays...

The Clash feels especially right this year.

Yes! I've been listening to KEXP and International Clash Day all day long. But now I am here.

Hi Rob! Happy Clash Day everybody!

Rob is true school! Nice!!

The theme for this year is Know Your Rights, and so far each KEXP show has played that song at the start

They are WISE. That's brilliant.

Very wise!

you have the right not to be murdered. At least you used to...

Marcus, yup

Jon there exists footage of two kids busking a Clash song on the street ... and a dude from the Clash walks up, it's great

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

This I have seen!

A favorite Guns of Brixton cover for ya: https://thedownertrio.bandcamp.com/track/guns-of-brixton

Richard nice! Jon excellent, babe

@Mats, I think this is it, or one of them https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6FkMk36-5KQ

aha! filing away!

Rob yessssssssssssss

(Since I can't play it on my own show for Reasons.)

Beats International sampled "Guns of Brixton" for "Dub be good to me"

isn't there a famous pic of the Clash at the NJ boardwalk? Seem to remember a colleague had it in her office

Earlier I was crying when the studio version of Straight To Hell started up and I wasn't certain if it was The Clash, or M.I.A.'s Paper Planes which I also love.

Happy International Clash Day, all!

Rob awwwwww..Good to feel things.

@Mats https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/xffge8/the_clash_on_the_asbury_park_nj_boardwalk_may_1982/

The only band that matters

!!!

Rob dayum you are on it! That's it.

SUP Lizbot

@Tom Bell, the only holiday that matters!

Hi Liz Bot and Happy ICD!

yay, Lizbot! hi, @tom!

Terry Chmes or Topper Headon? Should we vote?

@Mats, I'm a loser with a laptop

Tory Crimes!

@rob Ha!

Rob Lolololol you're like Link in the Matrix

Jon that record store day live Ween you found is a helluva thing. 3x LP!

Earlier on KEXP the dj (Kevin Cole) played The Day the Nazi Died (1993 mix) by Chumbawamba & Credit to the Nation and I thought of Commie Francis immediately

Love this Capital Radio cover!

It is good!

me too! super fun!

Hi Jen!

As an Ivy League connection to you Princeton people I saw the clash at penn’s class of 23 rink in 828

82

Tom Bell nice!!

@tom nice!!

I never saw the Clash and am a poorer person for it.

I know combat rock isn’t everybody’s fave but I remember a great show

@Tom….was there both nights!!..who opened..Burning Spear, Black Uhuru?

Carlos what!! rad show

I believe burning spear

WPRB ad from when The Clash played Rider College in 1984.

https://www.wprbhistory.org/commercial-the-clash-at-rider-college/

hahah i was going to play that soon

@ Carlos I’m jealous I was only at one of the shows

The Clash played Rider in 1984? I would have gone if I knew about it

That's service!

;)

ai im back

welcome back!

I saw The Clash at Ritchie Coliseum in College Park Maryland in 1979. That was a good show

Jen, Michael G just requested I'm Back ... by Moss Icon

Rob wow! '79. Dayum.

@Marcus…they played some college shows when they did events with the Who..most of the who shows were on weekends ..there was $$ to be made..I think they may have played Villanova

the world needs more pregnant pauses

cmon mats! i've never and will never request anything!

hahahahaah

Good stuffs

Michael G it's a great song! Not radio friendly, but punk af. Good to have ye here.

Jen I get Murdered by Robots and Captured! by Robots confused LOL

https://miro.medium.com/v2/1*9Oulbs7i51H4oSeR3lDjhw.jpeg

my punk radar is always on, but admittedly lacking since i don't live with my punk buddy anymore !

just peeped kexp and they are playing my favorite rage song ever, how about that gc!

I was asked by a member of this household recently "who did those mash-ups in the early 2000s?" and my first best guess was Go Home Productions.

requests are always welcome! if i can help, I will.

ah! I bet it was. these are at least the best ones.

This Go Home Productions KYR is so fun!

Charlie does surf….surf music tribute album

Catlos haaaaaaaa bout time we had an Apocalypse Now reference

*Carlos !

Hi Jen!! Hi everyone! That was an awesome cover!

Debbie! DJ Jagannath did a great sub show forya. All russian depressive black metal, twas great.

hello, @debbiewebby! the whole gang is here!

Orchestrated Rock a Billy! Who would miss this?

Hey Matt! Hell yeah.. Jagannath is a quality sub 🤘

I get in the car and my song is on!

MIND MELD! perfect!

Fun set today

thanks, @francis! glad you're here!

and so am I TY

Jen speaking of Mind Meld, good band https://mindmeldusa.bandcamp.com/album/mind-meld

dope guns and fucking in the streets! legendary comp

legendary indeed!

I love all these Guns of Brixton covers!

haaaaaa that radio ad

"dont let it clash with yer other plans"

Haha, amazing. I love the dorkiness of that ad!

1984 show, only one original member I believe?

I think it was the Paul and Joe show by then

Jen's command of french remains untouchable

Yeah, there you go Carlos.

Can’t remember what I had for breakfast but I can remember that!,

I had a fresh-baked english muffin with mustard, spinach and faux turkey c/o my daughter. It was DELICIOUS.

fuk , i missed a $ 12 show , that ad waz perfect

I already washed the dishes…couldn’t tell you..yours sounds much better than mine would have been

@mats hahahahah did i massacre it?

Jen not at all, you nailed it

@aiffrig you may have attended some $12 shows, say, 25 years ago

@mats ;) 🇫🇷

Hello, WPRBians! I was driving around & listening to WPRB (as you do) & was elated by today's Clash Day show!

Mustapha Dance, the dub version, was a big club hit back in the day as was "The Magnificent Dance" which they played on WBLS (Black Liberation Sound, NYC)

Love this Rachid Taha! So good

Marcus excellent

@liz bot i wouldn't have even played this song if I hadn't found this cover. so darn good.

@donutage hello! thanks so much for listening! Glad we pressed your buttons!

married with kids , didn't get out much

alas!

April 1984 my brother was at Hightstown High. I'll have to see if he remembers them playing

Jen I wuz tellin Jon about This House and WuW from yer show

I was surprised though because I have tomorrow on my calendar as Int'l Clash Day. Is this one of those "first Friday of February" deals?

We’re they ever the Washington bullets or did they change to the wizards after moving from Baltimore?

Carlos, the owner changed the name after the assassination of an Israeli politician

@donutage…tomorrow is national ice cream for breakfast day..indulge

Who was friends with the Bullets owner

@CArlos: there's a holiday I can get behind!

Went to many punk shows that were $10 suggested cover 25+ years ago. Not so much anymore, though there are still orgs in Philly putting on suggested donation shows, like Fire Museum, Chilladelphia, Germantown Kitchen Garden, etc, and of course there’s still West Philly basement punk shows. I don’t want to live in a world where those don’t exist! But yeah, for most shows these days, including many I go to, $12 doesn’t even cover the various transaction fees!

@donutage, I think it's maybe yesterday but observed on the Friday? I followed KEXP's lead, candidly. And my show is on Fridays. ;)

@mats oh nice! Those were both so great.

Well, KEXP invented it, so I guess they are the authorities!

Ah, what @rob said!

Liz Bot does the Philly Unitarian Church still welcome punk shows?

@donutage, International Clash Day is on Feb. 7 unless the 7th falls on a weekend

I saw Ween for $12 exactly in 1993. I agree with LB that affordability is key to punky scenes. Economic justice.

Love the Nutley Brass….both kids have instructions to play their Ramones CD at my going away party

thx, Rob!

@carlos hahahahahhaaha

that is awesome

@Matt. ..yes to the FU shows

Woo Weddos!!!

most punk shows in norCal back in the day were NOTAFLOF, which was nice if times was tight

I've seen people pay with coins to see bands Lol

Definitely at Fugazi shows

CBGB All Ages Shows were like $2.50

Carlos that Unitarian Church had crazy stuff, like Leftover Crack! At a church! That's openmindedness!

Matts….daycare during the day, punks at night

@Mats Sabbath - Definitely, but R5 tickets are not as cheap as they used to be!

Carlos wild!

what did other punk bands have to say about fugazi , poor little rich boyz

Liz Bot I heard about those Rush ticket prices. Lordy.

I love this Hinds cover!!!

@Mats Sabbath - First Unitarian Church shows were all ages and $10 / sliding scale back in the day - and including when R5 booked The Rotunda and 4040 Locust, which was the old UPenn Video Library

kind of perfect, Spanish gals singing about Spanish bombs

How big of a cut is the Rush drummer getting ?

think I saw Soul Asylum in their punkier days for $12. It's a magic number!

Liz Bot ah, gotcha

Rush is so wealthy they should play for free. But big bands become big machines with big payrolls.

@Liz. One of best shows I ever saw was at rotunda..rocket/ crypt…..international noise conspiracy and explosion

My workaround was tabling for Food Not Bombs. Sean A always let us set up a table. I remember once though Ian MacKaye grumbled that he didn’t want anything merch sold at his shows, when all we had weresuggested donation pins and FNB patches and shirts, 100% of it being donations for Food Not Bombs operation, and then he was selling merch on stage after the show, so whatever!

@Carlos Ramone - I love The Rotunda. Fire Museum / Steven Tobin books a lot of the shows there. Gina Renzi has kept that place operational for over 25 years running on spit and tears! Penn gives her a pittance to keep it running. She is awesome.

Jen THAT'S PEP

My favorite The Fall show was at the First Unitarian Church. Predictably, Mark freaked out at the rest of the band and ended the show early. I went with my friend after to see her boyfriend, who was tending bar at a dive on Spring Garden St. The place was empty, save The Fall, all of them drinking at one table except for Mark, who was off by himself at a different table across the room! We ended up drinking with the rest of the band for the rest of the night!

Liz Bot LOLOLOL!

Asbury Park, New Jersey was the first place that the clash ever played in the United States

@andrea !!!

dive bars are the best

Jen Pierre Poutine! You got this.

@liz bot hahahaha i love that he was banished to his own table but STILL WENT WITH THEM

@aiffrig WORD

Thank you for all your musical history, knowledge and schooling who ever listening

@Jen. I placed a future’s bet today that nothing from Cut The Crap would make it on air…looking good!!

aiffrig I spent decades in em, they are the best (my liver does not agree, but fuck that guy)

@andrea it's a team effort! the magic of radio. Thanks for listening!

ameture drinkin

Is there going to be a screening of "Rude Boy" later?

Andrea P, Paramus was first place the mighty Black Sabbath played in the US! NJ has it going on.

@carlos hahaha pretty sure I don't have anything from that one, actually

@Carlos, I think once KEXP played something from Cut The Cr*P on International Clash Day. Once.

Just read that Rachid Taha’s parents immigrated from Algiers to Lyon for work. Visited Lyon last August - It’s got an impressive punk scene and long history of Labor Rights activism. Big industrial town for textiles especially

@liz bot wow, right on! sets that in more context - thanks for sharing!

I found out a few years ago that there really was a Janie Jones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janie_Jones#The_Clash. I think KEXP played the song mentioned at the link and if so that's how I found out. I always thought that she was fictional

Liz Bot nice!

@Jen Redlights - Very cool city. I want to go back. Band leader and activist Catherine Ribeiro, of whom I’m a huge fan, was from Lyon. Did a tribute to her on PRB when she died a couple years ago.

@Rob…never heard KEXP before but downloaded their app…will be straying after this show…Muchas gracias

And this is one more reason why Liz Bot's show is required listening.

some great doom coming outta France lately: WuW; Hadewijch

@Carlos I still think This Is England from Cut the Crap is a great Clash song.

@Liz Bot, when was that Fall show you talked about at 4:21?

Hi jen

hi, @ossy!

@Carlos, I'm glad! I used to listen to them A LOT

@John. I will find disc and revisit..hopefully it doesn’t get played and I win bet..electric bill is due soon

but then I fell into the WPRB orbit

@Carlos Reserve the rest of the knight and check out the live performances on KEXP on Youtube.

@Jen Redlights - It’s quite literally the end of The Silk Road. Silk were the big industry there. The Jacquard loom was invented in Lyon! My sister-in-law married a French guy whose mom grew up in Algeria. Learned a bunch about that war from her while visiting this summer.

wild stuff!! I love learning history like that - thanks!

Rob you fell into wprb's Megaton orbit, as Sleaford Mods say

Liz Bot, Jacques Derrida was one of those algerian french. Interesting subpop.

@Carlos, I second John Coffey. The live performances on Youtube were what sucked me into KEXP over a decade ago

@john coffey may I put up the Clash photo you sent me last year?

@Mats, Megaton orbit, Megatherium orbit, yup

I did NOT know Poster Children covered this one!

wakin up the neighborhood

Start with this, unfiltered Lambrini Girls.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7BfivzIreo

@jon so good too!

Lambrini Girls!

working for the ICE

@Jen Absolutely! Thanks

All the Reagan era stuff punks complained about in '82 is back with a vengeance

Rob Megatherium! Nice

Marcus H Nietzsche calls it the eternal recurrence

@John…gonna tough to make the human pyramid with only one audience member

Mats, well I am from the Ice Ages. Marcus, you are so right about that

Mats, in math it's called a "stationary process", things change but they don't change

When I die, I hope I am remembered for more than having once booked an Alvaro gig in NYC.

Marcus ah

Great show today, Jen. I would be commenting more, but I am deep in the weeds of setting up Barge 2.0

Breaking WPRB Shop news: AS OF YESTERDAY THE PORK ROLL DESIGN HAS RETURNED!

@mike you are a hero in many ways, not just setting up studios and booking Alvaro ;)

https://shop.wprb.com/products/87410746-wprb-pork-roll-t-shirt

Northern Butchers! nice!

PORKROLL BACK IN DA HAUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSS

Taylor , the tru pork roll

great shirt!

That pork roll shirt 😍

Thanks to listener Chris for cleaning up the design so we could offer it again.

Jon the people need those Water Damage Oreo stickers!

Got several Christmas gifts from the WPRB shop, and got myself the zebra mug! My teen loves the anime girl shirt

Loooovee that Los Carniceros Del Norte track!

The Water Damage stickers were made by musical genius / Xmas contributor Neal Markowski. Let me see if he has any up.

I love all the covers today. The Kensington Hillbillys and Los Carniceros Del Norte covers were particularly awesome

RIP Delroy Wilson

I would like to enter my two wprb shirts in the Most Thrashed wprb Shirt Contest please. I got blood, coffee, snot, sweat, dirt, train soot, New Orleans scuzz, desert dust all on those poor things. Battle garments.

Jon that'd be fanatastic, grazi!

Mats, can I throw a sofa at those shirts?

@liz and rob, I'm glad to introduce a couple of hits! awesome!

Rob yes please I wuz just think that LOL

*thinking

I would send him a message here, Mats.

https://nealmarkowski.bandcamp.com

The Most Thrashed WPRB Shirt Contest is an unexpectedly fun idea for a series of social media posts...

i love it!!

Marcus H ah yes, Jamaica lost a good one in Delroy

@Jon Solomon - oooh, I like that idea!

Jon I'm on it! Thank you

Perhaps the winner gets an assortment of new WPRB shirts in a size of their choosing to ruin.

since i wear but take care of my shirts, perhaps we can include photos of shirts in the wild...

;)

Now it's really snowing around DC

@Mats Sabbath - Looking forward to that!

Jon haaaaaaa!!

I heard a heartwarming story that the Dr Know band dude gave a fan his shirt off his back. (not Dr Know of bad brains, da udda guys)

@Jen Redlights - I love spotting PRB shirts in the wild, and bumper stickers. It happens quite a bit in Philly. Sometimes I compliment them on their shirt!

Rob, they say it might snow in Princeton tonight

thankful clearwater has a ban on snow

Marcus, hopefully it won't snow much. The last I saw, the weather service was saying no more than 1/3 inch for m

I was introduced to a listener by a mutual friend in line at a funeral yesterday. They went out of their way to say "I give every year!" I was fine just saying "Hi, I'm Jon!"

Jen and I are polar opposites LOL with shirts

@liz bot that's great! The very, very rare moments when someone recognizes a short I'm wearing (usually a band), it makes my day!

@jon hahahh that's nice!

It was an interaction I won't forget for a while.

@mats well i do immediately cut off most of the sleeves and neckline, so maybe that still counts

I got in big trouble for wearing a corrosion of conformity shirt to a master's degree ceremony (shrugs)

I'd love if the Barn Owl on the fall 2025 sticker made it onto a t-shirt

Mats, you are awesome!

hahahahah

@jon Dan mcquade’s?

Jon !!!

I got the Schrodinger's cat shirt for me kid. It gets serious props

Mats! CoC rules!

Marcus nice! Love the Schrodinger

Since I'm tired and full of honey mustard pretzels I can let you all in on the fact that Radio Destructor is the design that will return from the archives next!

They got their C.O.C.M.A.

Jon drunk on honey mustard! Spillin the tea!

Or maybe it was an MSc.o.c.

HAHAH

Jen this was an AWESOME show. I love all the cover versions you found!!

Jon haaaaaaaa! MSW ceremony. Oooooof I got dirty looks.

That's a very German Industrialist vibe pic of the Housemartins

@rob thanks so much!! it's always so fun to dig up all the covers. Fwiw I'm toying with a show of all Damned covers in the near future... :}

@marcus those haircuts!

Awesome show today, Jen!

makin me spend money just to see if spring breakers can relate

thanks, @debbie! thanks for listening!

Have a good weekend, everyone!

you too!

The Hinds was my favorite but it was all awesome

Jen all Damned sounds damned great

The Damned survive TWO rounds of Desert Isle Band in the punk horror Green Room to be #1 DIB

Rudie can't fail: the only song I ever learned to play on guitar

Loved this Clash send-up, thank you Jen!

Marcus H nice! That's focus!

grazi Jen!! Fun

Great show thanks jen

Thanks for in case of emergency, break out the Clash Stash Jen.

@Jen, that will be cool. I'm not all that familiar with The Damned so I'll learn

thanks for being here, friends!

That was great, Jen!

Thank you great show

Excellent show. So much fun!

thanks, all! I had a blast!
