Don't look at the weather for a week from today! (Listen to WPRB while walking around outdoors instead.)

I can't help but be certain about the future!

wazaaaaaaa

Afrorack!

Whats-up Matt, the Afro Rack Track was killer!

blasting da show in the NJ hinterlands

is ti warm up there as well?

summa day. Was bizarre to see snow on ground and have it be 80 degrees yesterday

whoah thats crazy, was it all slushy?

The giant piles haven't completely dwindled down. Saw some on yesterday's park run.

thats crazy, I hope there's no more snow to pile on 2 blizzards was way too many

the rains are warshing all the demon salts away which is lovely

tons of deer carcasses emerging from icelock, which is beautiful

creepy, but beautiful

smelly?

Nyege Nyege Tapes! Love that label. Treasure trove of goodness

DJ Twizzy haaaaaaaaa! smelly carcs for sure

dude I can imagine lolll

we haven't had any snow in my neighborhood since like Sunday. of course, we got nowhere near as much as you did. no dead deer in sight

on the other hand, we are on the eastern edge of a Tornado Watch.

And hi everyone

Hi Rob!

Any crazy tornado stories?

Hi DJ Twizzy! No tornado stories (crazy or not) at the moment. No Tornado Warnings anywhere in the country at the moment, which is good. A Tornado Watch means be alert.

Scheki a few years ago when I was still broadcasting from home I had to do the final hour of my broadcast from the basement due to a Tornado Watch. Was wild!

Though, wait, I have a crazy tornado story. One time a few years ago I was watching both the DC and Philly weather, and there was a Tornado Warning for the Princeton area. I was feeding Jon information in the chat, supplementing what he was seeing

Jon I think I've heard about this, wasn't there some kind of movie watch party cause everyone was stuck here anyway

haha reporter rob!

Yes! Here's a photo from that evening.

And as Jon said, he went into the basement. And then a few months later there was a Tornado Warning for my suburb and my wife and I went into the basement and continued listening to WPRB

thats a great picture jon haha

opposite side of the spectrum for you rob!

That is a great pic, Jon!

There were four of us huddled in the basement as I played music, did weather updates + relaying info from listeners. A memorable broadcast indeed.

did the tornado hit eventually?

Alternate angle. We cleared up the cardboard boxes soon thereafter...

Something definitely went overhead but didn't touch down thankfully.

I did sleep through a tornado around the corner many years ago. When I got up you could see exactly where it went and where it turned by following the downed trees.

no casualties I hope (besides the trees)

Here's a story about the damage.

https://www.nj.com/weather/2021/09/nj-weather-tornado-hit-princeton-during-idas-wrath-boosting-total-to-7-twisters-in-region.html

Just hopping on to say great set. Thanks again. Missed you last week.

Dj Twizzy, punk writer Aaron Cometbus has a crazy true story about walking across America and sleeping in storage sheds and one-man moshing in a hurricane he got caught in

Thanks John, sorry about last week!

that's rad Jon

the weakest tornado still can cause a lot of carng=age I guess

Matt that kind of sounds awesome

Matt, that is amusing! (Of course I'd love to know which hurricane since I am a weather nerd)

it's in Cometbus' essay 'XXX', craziest thing to get caught in a storm and just go with it

@Rob I'll check my notes but I believe he was in the midwest or south

I was gifted a zine today that has some Cometbus content therein.

we had a tornado come down the fukn street in Ramsey NJ in the 70s or 80s, like it targeted that street, went thru the open windowed-house like a strong ghost

Jon awesome! Me n Aaron are penpals. He is one cranky mofo but the most dedicated punk I have ever met, unequivocally punk to the grave. He sends typewritten letters, total old school.

Ty Matt!

It is about Pensacola in the 1990s. Have it downstairs, will check the title soon.

I've taught Aaron's writing at the university level and the students are always surprised that true punks dont look/act like Hot Topic mannequins, that punk is internal.

ah yes Jon, Aaron was on front lines of the Florida punk scene, Gainesville, Pensacola etc. No Idea Records! Radon!

DJ, awesome show! Jon batter up! Thanks wprb for being awesome.

Radon rule.

Thanks for tuning in Matt glad you enjoyed the show!

My mistake it is about Sarasota not Pensacola but I found the link...

Great show!

thanks Jon! good linkage

Ty Jon!
