Running Redlights Fri Feb 27 with Jen on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Been waiting all day to rock with all y'all.

aw thanks! it's been a whole 2 weeks! glad to be back

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

awesome, @richard!

Praise the lord and pass the ammunition: Jen is back!

aw hello, @marcus! glad to see you!

I saw Das Damen?

heeeeheeee conjured before the vocals even started!

Wow, that was quick.

I saw Das Damen...open for Nirvana!

Don't forget the exciting sequel: I Saw Helios Creed?

WAIT, really??

hahahahaha

i really need to take notes ;)

I've got the flyer to prove it!

nice!

Das Damen and Helios Creed were in the closet making a baby. And I saw the baby. And the baby was looking at me.

Used to have more of these flyers but sold them individually on eBay during COVID for more money than you would imagine a photocopy would go for. In theory I could just keep Xeroxing them...

though my incredulity was actually about Helios Creed hahahaha

HAHHAHA

das damen!! 💚

@jon that is kind of spectactular

I did see Helios Creed at Lounge Ax. Who did they play with? No idea!

@andrew hello!

hello!

Wilbo has a winning idea for an indie rock board game called Das Damenoes.

AMAZING

Between Das Damen and the pronunciation of "Die Spitz" the German language is being butchered by Punk Rockers

or celebrated!

and die kreuzen!

"Die Cruisin'", as I thought when I was 16.

Das Damenoes reminds me that I am supposed to go to a party soon of mashups. Not all music, but could be terrible things like Salvador Dolly Parton or Knight Riders of the Purple Sage. Whaddya got? All I can think of is the not-my-idea Shirley Temple of Doom.

Mr. Mister Big Black Flag of Democracy is my go-to.

I KNEW THIS WAS THE RIGHT PLACE TO ASK

Consider it a gift.

On it. Now need to fashion the costume, which will clearly involve a bow tie and black flag bars.

Rapture Riders: Rapture + Riders on the Storm

we're on a roll!

Lil Jon Spencer Blues Explosions In The Sky With Diamonds.

I will just watch from the sidelines as I am terrible at these sorts of things.

@mike hahaha me too, taking 3 steps back

Lil Jon Spencer is amazing, and the costume would be SO BAD

What you both lack is the fact that you are not extremely stupid. This is my wheelhouse, baby! Dumb it up!

Danger Mouse: the Grey Album = Beatles White Album + Jay-Z Black Album

@jon HAHAHAHA

@marcus i love it

The Grey Album was in legal limbo for like 10 years

it's so quaint to think about how these were our concerns. Like Negativland ripping U2. Nowadays: do what you will. That album was really great.

Mr. Mister Big Boys II Men's Recovery Project X-Ray Spex?

hahhahahhaa big boys II men is amazing

I am altering the rules of the game somewhat, but still waiting for the supergroup of Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young, Smith, Wesson, Bartles, James, Loggins, Messina, Emerson, Lake, Bachman, Turner, Arm & Hammer Overdrive.

Andrew, well-played.

Crosby, Stills, Boss Nass & Young

@mike where does Oates fit in?

also, Mr Mister has to have been one of the worst bands ever.

Seconds ago I learned where Mr. Mister were from for the first time. I'm shook.

....

arizona?

also i am so into the guitar in this song

Yes! They're from Phoenix? I assumed they were from England, or at least the hairspray aisle of a local People's Drug.

hahahah and i can't blame the confusion, given both countries' proclivities to terrible hair

diggin this vibe 🎵

@rileymartin awesome! thanks for listening!

Songs that make you wanna mosh in Halloween costumes

@zach YES!

But in reality I’m painting my baseboards

hahah we mosh on the inside

Jen, I don't know if this works as a costume but with the right mold you could make a Wu-Tang Flan for your party.

omg maybe i can just bring dessert

https://www.reddit.com/r/food/comments/mna60/i_was_asked_to_make_dessert_wu_tang_flan_aint/

i love it!

kickin my own ass for buying this non-alcholic beer

IN MY WHOLE LIFE.

TIL Antonio Fargas aka Huggy Bear is still alive

RIP Power. Wu Tang Flan is for the children

metal circus lupus might work, but i bet my friends would be confused

This is a GREAT song to do the "cabbage patch" to.

hahaha i can't remember what that is even

Where were you in 1985 Jen?

It is the dance I was doing in my kitchen.

HAHAH the image is amazing

“The Devil Makes Three’s Company” A blue grass Trio that all live in the same apartment, starring John Ritter

@marcus dorking out like the rest of us ;)

@zach HAHAHAH

i misread that as "staring at John Ritter" which is also a riot...more deliverance mood

Hip-Hop and Punk Rock were like brothers in 1985

still ought to be

Fight the power, jen! One team, one dream

Move as a team, never move alone.

🤘🏻 everyone is welcome in our music party

well, except for whatever that stuff is they had at the grammys

This isn’t 80s but stuck on puns… Tupac Shakira

hahahah

Someone had indeed suggested Tupac-man

Great show again. I don't know why we ever go out Friday nights when we could stay in and listen to your show.

This is not the right audience for this joke, but...

Draw Rollins tattoos on your bad self, get a Dallas Mavericks jersey and go as Cooper Flag.

@joanna that is so kind! thanks for being here!

@jon i had to look that up :D

Hi all you Redlight Runners! @Jen -- I am soooooo excited for the new The Heads record! They seem to have gotten very underwhelming airplay/attention/kudos etc. for such an amazing band. So glad that you're a fan as well! <3

@teresa I have only been a casual fan but dove in hard after hearing those two new tracks! i thikn it's going to be fantastic.

I loved 'Socially Awkward' and I agree with your forecast!(-: I love that buzzy, sorta cosmic slinky guitar effect they use. Reminds me of Chrome while being implemented in entirely different ways/contexts.

i see that! way less abrasive. or i've developed thicker skin. ;)

Yeah, I think The Heads use it as more of a background than a foreground sound maybe...

can't wait to hear the rest of it!

waza. Been lurkin. Dead Bob!

Beta Voids!

haha hello @mathy!

Radium! Got lots o dat in the basement.

I am becoming such a fan of this band

very 'Mats-esque

Jen check out Virtual Limbs. Weirdo Texas duo doing cool math postpunk. https://virtuallimbs.bandcamp.com/album/big-time-crime

oh neat, i willl check it out!

This = good.

agreed! i find it very Ooga Boogas family

I have bookmarked their Bandcamp for further exploration.

Have a great weekend, all.

have a good one! thanks for being here!

Great show thanks jen

i appreciate that! good luck with the painting!
