Jon Solomon Wed Mar 25 with Jon Solomon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

RADIO AWAITS.

Yay!

How's it going, Rob?

Dang the buffet opened early

OFF AND RUNNING.

Rob! Jimbo! Away we go!

Don't go away, we just got here!

I am hunkered down, lit by the light of WPRB's new neon sign.

It's going well, Jon. Hopefully the same with you too!

Hi jimbooooo!

I had a great Wednesday away from the radio, now to try and match it on the radio.

Greetings and salutations all

Heya Patrick.

Sometimes I am right, it is the record player that is wrong.

When record players attack

It was cued up so beautifully, but that's also live radio for ya.

Hello Dan.

Jon, did you feed the squirrel that is inside and powers said record player before the show tonight?

There must have been a big gust of wind right before my show that shifted the needle further down the groove. Yeah. That's it.

this tune is worthy of a nice clean start. hey now.

Right, Dale?

Would think turntables get a pass on acting dizzy.

Hi!

Roffle in the chat! GW in the chat! Dale in the chat!

Glad to hear you're out and about with family today. Tomorrow is looking awesome too.

That was LAST Wednesday and it was cold! I got to do a bunch of stuff I can't normally do because DJ Pup was holding it down.

HORSE LORDSSSSSSSSSS

But yes the Comcast Sphere is worth a visit if you're downtown.

https://comcastcentercampus.com/universal-sphere/

You sit in it and a 360 degree movie plays for like 10 minutes. Then you leave.

I was starting to feel all polka-dotty listening to this song, then I saw it was Horse Lords

IMAX has evolved.

Our fondest wish is that Horse Lords and Angine de Poitrine appear on the same bill, and that we can get tickets

That would be wild.

Indeed! Just so long as we don't get chest pains, or get trampled

That's pretty much my goals for every day.

I've been wondering where they go next in terms of performance art. They are going somewhere, and I wonder if they will take the polka dots with them.

Hello Jon! I took my kid to the MOMA a few weeks ago. One of exhibits is a Marcel Duchamp's snow shovel

I may look around and see if there are any polka dot shirts I could buy

Ha

The photo tonight at the top of the playlist is from an exhibit about The Shakers at the ICA near Penn / Drexel.

Duchamp-ing at the bit.

Hey Marcus!

Hi Marcus!

That reminds me, I need to get a pitchfork.

Jon, that's a great photo

We were looking for a banana taped to the wall, found a length of rope taped to the wall so we got close

Hello Rob!

The Shaker exhibit was surprisingly moving.

Roffle, I just learned a phrase in French: "En rupture de stock". It seems like there are no polka-dot shirts available at a certain Quebec-based band's website

@Rob, that tracks.

Actually, one of them is available in Medium, but that is no longer my size

I am sure the is a reputable clown supply outlet somewhere with something.

It's almost like the Firesign Theatre thing about learning Turkish: Follow along as we learn three new phrases in French: chest pain, out of stock, sold out instantly

Kwame may have some spare polka dot shirts.

Reputable Clown Supply Outlet is a free band nae for the taking.

Marcus with the call-back!

oh hi! For once I get to listen while also near a chat mechanism. Good day!

They can network with Clown Posse

Science! Hi Jen!

Roffle, that would be insane

Hi Jen!

Jon, I went to a party at the Quadrangle Club. I don't see what's the big deal, the place reminded me of the Friar Tuck Inn in Cedar Grove.

hi, friends! just catching up on clown posse

Jen! I missed your entrance somehow!

A cover of an...unreleased Clean song??

Is that a zither?

Harp.

Gosh this is lovely

this is pretty damn beautiful.

Glad you enjoy, Kelly. Was quite surprised to encounter the painting on the cover at the new Princeton art museum.

Extremely cool

Photo added in the chat.

baltic birch wasn't a love song to cabinet-grade plywood i assume.

I can't say for sure one way or the other.

Baltic Birch, followed by a cover of Ween's Baby Bitch

I'm here all night

I'm only here until eight.

and we are better for it, DJ!

This Station Model Violence record is as good as advertised.

This works nice

Jon Idk if you saw the new Star Wars Bestiary book but they screwed Ghoel...again

I did not! My condolences!

Life Ghoels.

I mean, if a plasma-seeking pseudoslug who contemplates reality isn't a beast, Idk what is

But I'ma just Ghoel with the flow ya know

Shellac, Dude Incredi-ghoel

The Turntable Has Been Drinking - T. Waits

Incredi-Gohel!

Someone asked me recently the perfect album and that Shellac entry immediately came to mind.

That's a good one. Doesn't overstay any welcome.

Good evening to all

Pekojan funk!

Carlos!!

Prepare for a journey.

Where are we going?

That's for the song to determine.

Well I can’t go too far…haven’t had dinner yet

Hi everybody! Happy Annunciation Day - 9 months until Christmas

Could always grab some hummus to go, if needed

Dan I had a very intense Xmas anxiety dream two nights ago.

45 minutes until showtime, none of the CDRs were burned.

First Pitch of the MLB season tonight at 8. Yankees don't play the Jays until May

Oh dear

it's grind time, y'all

There was a lot of panic in said dream.

Really enjoyed your Cop Rock episode, by the way.

Julie was incredible

You're not so bad yourself.

i feel as if i have enjoyed this water damage on your show before. unless it was another epic water damage song.

Different epic from their live archives.

This is the latest and greatest.

missus dale gives it two thumbs up.

She's got fine taste.

Enjoy the ride.

i'm told it was 'reel 28' that we previously tapped toes to.

Ah yes.

Liking the Water Damage, hey Jon!

That Mike Adams at His Honest Weight cover is frigging beautiful

TAndy!

Is it a cover??

Hello Jon & chat. This Water Damage is a flood of greatness

Amy! Good evening!

Hi Jon! Enjoyed the start of Water Damage in the car at volume. Now at home with safe access to the chat.

Every time you play a long song, I remember the line about you putting on your "ascot bib" and having dinner.

Ha! That was more for broadcasting at home but I did heat up a black bean burrito...

Can I just say it is GREAT to see you all in the chat tonight?

Hey Jon! If Water damage has played two bars can it truly be said that I'm late?

Alex, you're right on time.

Water Damage and Mike Adams both "name your price" downloads.

Linked in the playlist for your convenience.

@jon - I heard you mention a T-shirt earlier; I want you to know that I recently got a small bump in pay, and adhering to the maxim " pay yourself FIRST" I treated myself to a purchase of the Albini/Breeders/Raiders shirt from the Official Electric Audio Merch Store, plus a pin for The Jacket

I also ordered Murakami's T Shirt book

Oh very nice all around.

I should get my wife the actual Breeders / Raiders one. I have the SA version as a sticker in my office + a print of him engineering someone gave me at the memorial.

Prepare for descent.

👍

This week's Wednesday Night Live Lookback Series session is shorter than usual which gave us a bit of extra time to play with...

the third hour is always the weirdest hour

Lean into it.

leaning.

The third hour is where the magic happens.

"That's what SHE said" ... sorry

the magic sounds like a mournful cat leading an avant garde ensemble at Solar Myth on a Saturday night

in a good way, obvs

Usually the reason for a very nice day

(Complimentary.)

You know I had this on the Technics 1&2 back in 84

Good evening, chat. I am tardy but in attendance

I picked it up last week, Marcus. Not sure if I already own it or not...

One the greatest rap song ever

First Def Jam release!

Produced by Rick Rubin aka the mountain climber who plays an electric guitar according the Wu-Tang

Ha. That's basically who ended up buying their one-of-one album.

@Jon, we LOVED that Water Damage piece

Oh no! I missed a new Sweeping Promises track?

I highly recommend Rick Rubin's book "The Creative Act"

Y'all are the best.

rank us?

Wu-Tang also dissed Cold Chiiln Records who signed and dropped GZA

Marcus is that because Cold Chillin' ain't had hits since you've seen Aunt Mabel?

That's the line, Jon!

A sign of stupid fools who stand in line...like EMI

The Sex Pistols did it first

You gotta read the labels.

New Bomb Turks have a song that is like GZA's "Labels" but for independent labels.

Never heard of New Bomb Turks, what's the name of the song?

Oh man I will try and figure it out.

There's also Graham Parker's "Mercury Poisoning" based on his beef with Mercury Records

You can dare fate like a matador End of the great credibility race Have sympathy for all the dropped combos End of the great credibility race Touch on jazz and go prove you're a honky white man End of the great credibility race Kill all the rock starts 'til you're a start for the act End of the great credibility race

I wasn't built to spill I ain't no no modest mouse I roar like a lion And I don't miss a drop Life's too short For all this fucking crap Before you know you're at your crypt Reading your epitaph

https://genius.com/New-bomb-turks-end-of-the-great-credibility-race-lyrics

Matador records...they're not to good guys?

I think it was all, like the band itself, very tongue in cheek.

Thanks for the show Jon!

Nanny State patreon tk

This one was wild. Hope it served you well.

Water Damage live in Sweden! Fokn rad. Jon thank ye for the show babe

Matt, great to have you here.

We enjoyed your show tonight, Jon. Particularly the Water Damage piece!

my Water Damage Neil M. Oreo sticker has gone into my Deep Memorabilia part of the archives

Rob, always good to have you in the chat.

Neal and Pat from Clamour Club are two of the biggest Fall fans I know. They were both in the same room in NYC last weekend and I didn't think to try and have them meet. I regret this!

and I slapped one up proudly in NJ somewhere for yall to find

Can't wait for that day.

Jon remember: no regerts, as the tattoo says

Meiko Kaji is "Lady Snowblood" an awesome Japanese film

The inspiration for "Kill Bill"

Also an excellent musician, I recently learned. This album is great.

Wednesdays on prb bring me back to life. Seriously. WPRB forevah.

Thank you Jon!

Shecki's show is especially great.

Alex, you're welcome.

Had to step away and came back to talk of Fall fans. Timing is everything

I learned a Buzzov°en riff today and got sun. Small joys add up.

LOL Chris that's the spirit.

Chris, they were both at the Four Louies premiere.

thx as always for tthe show Jon (even if I missed most of it). Be well these next 2 weeks.

Tomorrow I finish my taxes...OR ELSE.

👍🖖

You can do it!

Donutage, nice to know you're out there.

I believe in Jon Solomon.

Jo, be like Homer Simpson, wrap it into a football and throw it at the Post Office

Gotta finish many a spreadsheet first.

If anyone asks, you're all my dependents, ok?

Where do I sign?

<3
