Hello Running Redlighters. Allow me to share this lovely photo of WPRB's transmitter, which I took just this morning. https://c.im/@mlupica/116659394705098150

WONDERFUL photo! we are screaming out of that *right now*.

Jen didn't have to sleep this one off. :)

hahahaha ready to rumble!

LET'S GO

Mike, where is the one with you and duck tape climbing up that thing?

thought that was the mighty Buzzoven at first

OK, OK, that's the tower, not the actual transmitter, Not seen is Horace the gerbil, who runs around in the little wheel powering the whole station.

Hat tip for first Buzzoven reference of 2026.

that's a heroic tower shot!

LOL Roffle.

Mike L I think of them daily

Hire the guy who can use the pliers I always say.

did i hear a request for buzzoven?

yes please, and trout

delicious trout

#troutcore

not sewer trout?

not a lot of songs about trout

It is so much easier to tun up the music at this hour! Fucking love it!

SMARM

@roffle turn it up, dude!

On it!

🤘🏼

hi, friends!

start the weekend, "light the throttle" - Fu Manchu

i'm ready REV REVE REVVEVVVVVV

Hello Jen

I have 450 watts to go, but I am pretty sure that violates my lease.

hello!

let's see if we can take it to 11, @roffle

There are questions I don't want to answer at 3. :)

We have plenty of time

vast robot armies

But ya know what, my neighbors think I'm okay so far. I am not ready to break the building just yet. As much as it crosses my mind.

robots love loud music

Do they have the sensors? Once they do, Run.

Hello everyone

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b7/Neighbors_1981_film_poster.jpg

@Mats, as long as the neighbors sit on their couches and don't throw them, they can be my neighbors

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS_BARXSjZWeknwfU0tLAy1z-T7ksLCOmxg1ODSWL6jeA&s=10 RobMD CROM!

I will sit on the porch, but...

hello!

Marbled Eye !!

I will throw their sofa back at them

the couch image makes me laugh every. single. time.

this EP is so great!

great band name Marbled Eye

marbled rye

Someone in the chat has a stubborn mind *looks at Mats with a marbled eye*

HAHAH

RobMD LOLOLOL

These slam chords make me happy. So human.

@Mats, "CROM is a water infrastructure solutions provider dedicated to the innovation, design, construction, restoration, and maintenance of the nation’s essential infrastructure." ... see cromcorp.com if you don't believe me

If only we had marbled rye. I'll have to settle for plain rye bread

Multi grain is a better bird food I would think. But I'm not versed in Bird edibles.

bird edibles

Damn right! Those fuckers are actually flying around!

🐦‍⬛

I want that!

flying rye bread? sounds alarming!

Jen, I'm sorry you ate so much trout

Dig this Buzzoven

it was very delicious, I have to say

both the trout and Buzzov*en!

hi, @fr1day

If the trout was in the buzzoven then it would be really tasty

Hey, Jen and all. Happy to be back. Haven't been able to catch your show lately

then I'm especially glad you could join today!

@fr1dayafternoon, You have been rare sir.

I get life. That shit is all over the place. I avoid it like a passion whenever possible.

Hey a guy's got to work. It's tough out here.

RobMD Crom! https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQc6Bj0mkj75EFncDTvbppqIe_EfJPUBhOB5DpzWrP6fw&s=10 sitting upon his mountain

@fr1dayafternoon, EXACTLY!

Be well

Jen nice Buzzoven! 1994! Peak addiction for the lads. Thanks fer playin!

Silicone Prairie!

anytime, @mats.

Silicone Prairie has a cool indie vibe

@fr1day this might be a good time to mention that I archive my shows on Mixcloud. In case you need a boost on non-work hours.

@marcus check out the records! I'm fond of this one: https://siliconeprairie.bandcamp.com/album/my-life-on-the-silicone-prairie

(saunters into saloon) I NEED A MIXED DRANK AND MIXCLOUD ON THE NET, JEN REDLIGHTS PLEASE, LLOYD (Lloyd wipes bar with rag and eyes me with marbled eye)

hahahhaha

Mats: Purple Drank and Love Boat: let's get lifted Friday

OMG! Thanks for this inspiration. I am gonna tune all the guitars to standard or drop on my rack and see if they will all feedback in some clever way. You guys are the BEST!.

if yall are tough people and I knew ye are, check out Buzzoven shows circa 93, 94. Fights, hostility, self abuse, drugs, volume, it's brutal stuff. YouTube. Greezy and scuzzy proto-doom.

who doesn't need a little scuzz

Marcus haaaaaaaa!! Jen haaaaaa!

@mats has finally lost his marbles

or marbled rye

SCSI: (scuzzy) Small Computer Serial Interface

1990's Sun Microsystems Tech

Matt never had "marbles" per say...

Marcus Purple Drank! ooooff I was overserved jungle juice at Eli's Mile High punk dive in Oakland once. Rough night. I shoulda known from the SEVERED ALLIGATOR HEAD ATOP THE JUNGLE JUICE DISPENSER

Mats: we need to make a movie about your exploits

Roff true LOL. Caint lose what ye never had

That's bonus!

Marcus twould be a good read but hard to revisit some of the moments

It would be like SLC Punk except set in NJ?

Cyanide 1978! Another Jen deepfind

This puts me in Screaming Females territory.

i love this song!

Marcus: with interludes in CA and Georgia (Georgia generated some stories! like fighting possums drunkenly on railroad trax Lol )

Vermin Scum records!

I believe in Georgia that's pay per view. Mat.

@Mats, ty for the Crom info

Roff Lol pretty much

RobMD thank you! Good to know there are multiple Croms out there!

I just got a call from the Justice League, so I gotta go, but loving the show. Thanks Jen.

see you later, @roffle!

@Mats, yes! Though "my" CROM might end up washing up after your Cimmerrian Crom

HIGH NOON RUMBLE

bye Roffle!

Crom versus CROM

I AGAINST I

I against marbled eye

Ojo contra ojo protagonizada Mats Sabbath y Rob from Maryland

@Jen, that Cyanide song is a cover of a song by The Who from 1967

oh thanks, @rob! hadn't caught that!

oh hahah i had it in my notes to self. I guess I should read those sometimes. ;)

Jen, I get it, that kind of thing happens to me too

it's also fun to re-remember fun song trivia!

Chook! aussie for chicken

Jen LOL

oh hahah really?

PIKE UP AND AVE A STOUT YA GOBBER, CHOOK ON THE BARBIE THEN

I'm about to take on a horde of Flemington Costco shoppers with one of them hugeass carts! requesting something that suits the suburban version of the Mad Max universe

@andrew pantry hahahahahah that sounds terrifying

andrew p that is PEP ! God luck and good speed

Jen, yes, really! There's a bird, the Australian White Ibis, that likes to rummage in garbage & dumpsters. It has been dubbed "bin chicken" or "bin chook" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_white_ibis

I LOVE THIS

RobMD !!

@andrew pantry, I could sit in the front of one those carts and recited punk song lyrics

I don't know anything about this Dinkum thingy, but here it is, the Bin Chook https://dinkum.fandom.com/wiki/Bin_Chook

oooh, that sounds good. but I'm flying solo here so I'll just need to shout the lyrics at my fellow combatants

fair dinkum = the real deal, authentic, fair

the only times i've been to costco have involved headphones . then you can dance down the aisles.

fellow combatants!

Mad Max eats Dinkie Di dog food in Road Warrior

aaaand i left the shopping list in the car, but I will forge ahead anyway

https://www.stealthygiant.com/cdn/shop/products/91981310_10223261748839015_3418891583632703488_n_1_grande.jpg?v=1633447003

young pioneers were a lot more folky than adam's previous band

(born against)

haha true if we're looking relative to born against, they are basically easy listening

@mats what is that??

oh mad max hahaha

Mr. Knox! 🖤

Jesus Christ I go upstairs at the Barge to train someone for an hour and I miss Buzzoven, a Sewer Trout reference, CROM, Born Against, and who knows what else. That's it, I want a do over.

aussie fake dog food, but Dinki is an aussie way of saying "Max is really eating dog food"

Mike L haaaaaaaaaaaa!

@mike hahah welcome back, and we also know what Chook means now

Praise Jah

Mike L, lotsa good Buzzoven live vids on YouTube! Some hard to watch. Ah the 90s

CHOOK ROCK

hope training went well!

Somewhere on the internets, there is a photo of young, be-sideburned, be-goateed, and be-flanneled me watching Buzzoven performing in a dilapidated basement on the Lower East Side. Jen's playlist may be the last place on Earth where this delivers any social capital, so here we are.

Mike L nice!! Legendary!

@Mats, there's also a short YouTube doc about Kirk from Buzzoven which is sort of depressing but illuminating nonetheless.

there is a YouTube vid of Buzzoven playing to a violently hostile club crowd. YOU SUCK! they yelled. AND WASH YER ASS! they yelled. Where izzat spirit today

haha we need to conjure that photo stat

Mike L I saw that minidoc! Kirk is fugged up these days. Dixie Dave Collins! southern sludge !

Jen yessssssssssssssss sideburns, goatee, flannel!!

we must locate this Lupica Lore

Kirk of Buzzoven online: " organs failing, dont know how long I have got" that 90s heroin dont play

@Jen, my wife and I have both enjoyed your show today, ty! And, it has been great chatting with everyone this afternoon!

@rob thanks, and glad you were both here! cheers

RobMD CROM!

CROM STRONG ON HIS MOUNTAIN

CROMulent

Jen you rock! Many thanks! Weekend hijinx and hornswaggleing await

thank you, sir! have a great one!

Cromulent! Scrabble word!

the punky bedrock of Friday, WPRB!

thanks for the inspiration jen! the costco shoppers are keeping clear since i started yelling out the words to suspect device with my fist in the air

WPRB = Wayfaring Punk Records Blasted

OUTSTANDING, @andrew! hope your shop is fruitful.

@rob bumper sticker alert!

amazing show, Jen! have a great weekend everyone.
