"Drought" by Pelican. DebbieWebby's Diabolical Delights Sat Apr 4 with DJ DebbieWebby on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Hoppy Easter Weekend!

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK

WE SALUTE YOU

this Gojira is a perfect opener, DJ, wellplayed

Gojira has conquered Pelican?

And hi DebbieWebby and Matt

Hello Matt!! I mean Fleshyheaded

Rob, we are talking about the "Whale God", Gojira, Godzilla, here

Hello Rob! Never... the Pelican will fly later

Ah, right, the whale god can off a pelican just like that

wprb has gone CINEMATIC SATURDAY. holy guacamole djs playing some cinematic stuff! Wonderful.

what's that in the distance? what do i hear?

Rob there's a band called Godzilla Was Too Drunk to Conquer Tokyo LOLOL

Winter Wren, Purple Finch maybe, if these birds are North American

I hadn't heard that Gojira song, good find, Debbie

I am hearing a Song Sparrow out my own window, it's pretty close to the house

Matt, quel gruppo musicale è italiano! Di Genova

Easter is pretty metal

Cinematic in honor of the... Holiday weekend I guess... maybe too jelly beans, Matt. We gotta cerebrate somehow.

@Debbie, my NJ birding friend tells me that the first couple of Brown Pelicans have arrived at Cape May ... spotted Thursday, not yet reported since

Hi Zach! I agree...Easter is pretty metal. I believe on the Saturday before Easter Jesus was in hell ...kicking the demons' butts.

Oh! Pelicans in Cape Mays, I need to visit there soon. I saw a cormorant on the way over. it was near the bridge by Trenton.

Black metal bunny!!

Cormorant, nice!

I saw a cormorant drown and eat a snake one time. That was also pretty metal.

whoah! what a metal event!

sad though...

Hahaha

I’m pretty sure the snake started it. Jesus kicking demons

they can stay under water for over a minute.. so hopefully he was just fooling you.

Cormorants are so metal.

or fooling the snake.... or so i am telling myself. Team Cormorant!

Oh no the snake very much lost that fight. Cormorant was fine

Hey there everyone. Allergies or whatever this bug is has had me in bed all day, but the metal is waking me up lol

OH OH! I thought both ended up dead, Zach! I missread!

TAndy!! Feel better bud! There are a lot of trees blooming so that might be it :(

Hi Zach and TAndy!

Still out there birding around to this day allegedly

Hey Rob

phew! glad to hear..

When I walked up to the studio... i heard a crow.. or raven. not sure the difference... but I think it was saying hello. I didn't see it though

Temple of Void remind me of that horror movie The Void

There's been a starling making a very loud piercing whistle at odd intervals. It's across the street, we can hear it through the open window. In between the window and us is the refrigerator, which made a similar whistle this morning because the 'bottle chill' setting was not functioning

So our fridge is metal too

Bottle chill!

Crows are friendly, ravens are metal

apparently crows have names for us humans, individually, in their language

It's a new fridge, I didn't even know it had that setting. Btw the starling is whistling again.

maybe the crow called out "my name" to let the crowd of crows know

... my show is starting soon

.... not anything bad .... HA

UH OH! it was nice knowing you all

Anyhoo, KEXP dot org has a live at the station video of a metal band called Castle Rat which I listened to for a bit of an hour ago

They were amusing. They are known for their "medieval fantasy doom metal" aesthetic, and were amusing to watch

What a unique sound that must be, Rob. I got to google that bird sound. I heard a weird bird earlier... i can;t even describe what it sounded like. My property attracts a ton of birds. I have a lot of trees and bushes. In the morning, it sounds like 200 bird are chilling near my bedroom. it's pretty sweet... very different from my Philly homes.

HEY CROWS LEAVE DEBBIEWEBBY ALONE!!!

Starling is going off again! It sounds like it really could be in our kitchen, but it is in a tree across the street! It is so so metal

Castle Rat is fun, good stuff

crows at wprb: kark! kark! kark! [here comes that metal show lady]

Debbie's birds are metal too, beyond the crows

Cryptic Shift wit da space metal! When science majors start metal band s

Castle Rat is cool! Awesome look. Fun music. Did you like it, Rob?

@Matt, speaking of Temple of Void and The Void, there was a Maryland hardcore punk/metal band in the 80s called Void, who were awesome

ah yes, Void is legendary. I know they are very respected and have aged well.

I did like Castle Rat, Debbie & Matt, the five minutes I heard & watched. And their look, heck yeah! Here's the KEXP in-studio video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQixE9aPd0w

HAHA!! I hope they heard, Rob. I really like crows so I assume they can feel my positive crow loving vibes.

What's the most metal bird?

Most metal bird is the Uganda bird that lives on garbage. Totally metal. Basically a dinosaur again. Can eat anything. Yuge scaly m'fuckers.

Nihiloxica has an album about this nutty bird https://nihiloxica.bandcamp.com/album/kaloli

from Nihiloxica: The album takes its name from the Luganda word for the Marabou stork. Kaloli are carrion birds that can be seen amassing in areas of festering waste around the country, particularly in Kampala, with its heightened levels of urban pollution. Freakishly large in size and riddled with amorphous boils, growths and tufts, these toxic creatures thrive on detritus. Rising skyward on huge air currents, however, their wretchedness is softened as they effortlessly glide above the city.

AND LIFE IS GOOD. - DJ DW

Was Big Bird from Sesame Street based off of the Uganda bird? I think I heard of this bird before.

Haaaaaaaa!!

These birds sound amazingly adaptive, like they are living in a post-apocalyptic future before it drops for everyone.

WHOAH! Matt, that is a good find and what an album cover!

in other words, these birdbrains are actually prepared for the future better than anything

Debbie, check out the Nyege Nyege Tapes label, they have some metal bands. Very dark, well-recorded african diaspora stuff. I love Nihiloxica.

you are right! They ARE metal. THEY WILL outlive us all!

I love how they are covered in strange boils and lumps and are just very chill

Ashen Tomb! Look at that song title. Look at that jawn!

LOL!!! Matt! I had to take a positive spin on thing, Speaking of quotes. I watched the Weedeater bus tour thing. LMAO! My fav quote "I had to give up drinking OR driving.... so I gave up DRIVING"

LOLOLOLOLOL. That is Dixie Dave Collins. He is a fucking lunatic, but also a southern gentleman. He did bass and survived being in Buzzoven. That dude is the marabou stork of humanity. Haaa!

Dixie Dave in the Bus Invaders: I got a paper here, I dont know, it's shot glasses and hats from different places.

Glad you liked it! Weedeater has grown on me. Wanna see em live. Prolly loud af.

NOW IS FOREVER

IN

THIS

REALM

(Klingon war cry)

We just returned from watching the rest of the KEXP video with Castle Rat. Good stuff!!!!!

Show's over already?

The most metal bird is the Shoebill, which is probably what Matt mentioned at 6:55

Never mind, Shoebill is most definitely not the bird Matt was talking about

And now, Pelican!!

I enjoyed the Ashen Tomb. Everlasting Spew Records!

Blue Jays are hella metal. They are ready for the postapocalypse as well.

Blood Inc! Nice! There is a lot to explore with this band. Deep ol' fuckers. Good selection, Selector.

@Rob, I just got back from the river and saw my ospreys are scoping out nesting places. :)

Nice Webs!

Roff nice! I have an osprey tattoo! Love them marsh hawks.

Hi Mike! Nope still on..... just dealing with some in studio issues so i threw on the Pelican

Hello Roffle!!

well that escalated quickly (song) LOL

@Matt seriously! Too fucking cool!

Birds and feathers

@Roffle, hooray! Hopefully they'll stick around all summer. And @Matt, how cool is that!

got the osprey in the great state of PA to commemorate a fallen friend who loved tracking and nature and hawks

*tattoo

Blood Incantation and Clouds Taste Satanic and Kal-El are metal bands who still have their memories and can do long involved changing songs

@Rob, the Starlings showed up yesterday, and now occupying.

@Matt, that is lovely (and sad) about your tattoo

@Roffle, those starlings are real quick sometimes. I think the loud one across the street has finally stopped/flown away

people got hawk tattoos and kinda customized to their taste, it was a very cool healing moment

Also Rob, my guys have a spot on the river with a nest. Gonna get interesting.

Horror director Panos Cosmatos (Beyond the Black Rainbow, MANDY) is a yuge Blood Inc fan and wore shorts and a Blood Inc longsleeve at a red carpet movie premiere. And Vans.

The nest is old

@Matt, ❤️

Many, many years old.

aw thanks RobMD

Roff that is awesome, how those heavy duty bird nests last as ghosts

The ones who started the build surely are.

tis a powerful image

Nothing ever wrong with a little Pelican.

Blood Inc used up all the notes

With Salt and pepper.

Mike T the brown pelicans are back at Cape May, reports wprb roving reporteres

Roff LOLOLOLOL

Blood Inc to Cattle Decap be still my heart

The Gulf of Mexico is infested with pelicans.

ah Debbie I needed this barking brutal massage, been climbing back to life after covid. My thanks.

hey sorry for the lack of chatting. weird in studio issues tonight.

yer doing fine champ

I didn't know they were heading back this way on the current tour.

They got any brown acid?

Lol

@Roffle, old nests are good nests

Cattle Decapitation, what a great metal band name

Matt.... ugh... i won't have time for your song requests tonight. I got 2 for you. I will play them next week.

well.... this is was one crazy night with my laptop. MY GOD!!!

Debbie no prob! Merely suggestions from a servant of the lord out in the fields here. WPRB rules.

well i somehow saved the day with my handy dandy PELICAN songs HAHAHA!

RobMD I agree, and Cattle Decap has been around, no spring chickens

Haaaaaaaaa Debbie in the DJ booth at the roller rink! What!!

Good list building

Pelican again!!

WE GOT CHICKEN STRIPS AND RC COLA IN THE SNACK SHACK AND NEXT UP IS COUPLES SKATING WITH THE CARS

Debbie you had an awesome echo on yer voice last break, like an old school echo

@Matt, it looks like Pelican and Cattle Decap have been around for a similar number of years?

Could be be bad too. Love that.

I ain't fallin for this agin!

Show ain't over.

Thanks so much for the show! I've managed to get to the corner store for some oj and a snack, had a little sesh during the walk too.

RobMD indeed! Nothing wrong with new bands, I'm just admiring the OG pioneers like those bands

Venturing out into the wilds sunset with a sick soundtrack
