"Bone Machine" by Pixies. Circuits Tue Jun 9 with Mike Lupica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Good morning, young people.

Good morning, Dad

No Brigitte Fontaine records for you until you clean up that room.

Comma damnit.

Already sent a bitchy email to the staff and removed what very much appeared to be a pube from the console. Translation: OH I'M IN A MOOD TODAY.

Peas in!

Wasn't there a WPRB show about 15 years ago with a title along the lines of clean your room?

Gross, wasn't mine!

Very much so, Rob! Hosted by Art and Julia -- they are missed dearly.

Hey Mike and pitcrew!

I am older than you. But Bonjour anyway!

RIP Areski who passed away a week ago.

Yvang! You found me!

I dit. Glad to hear you doing radio again!

I am the chronic rash of broadcasting in that I simply will not go away.

Art and Julia did a show or two last year iirc?

Julia did a sub within living memory, but Art has been in hiding for years now.

The OTA signal seems kind of week this morning, must have not fully woken up yet.

And good morning Yvang, Alex, Number 6

Ah, thx for that info, Mike

Hi Rob, Alex, Number 6 and all!

Reported to engineer, thx #6.

Hi RFM!

Hi Rob!

Bonjour Yvang!

Good morning number6!

I believe the delaney cards are now in order.

We have a quorum. Quick, let's vote on something.

Mike, it may amuse you to know that there is a KALX dj whose name is Your Mom. Her show is called Pick Up That Sh*t!

Clean Your Room and Pick Up That Sh*t are amusing names for radio shows

Nice. That must really come in handy during pledge drive season because who wouldn't pledge to Your Mom's sShow?

Exactly. I think I pledged to her show once because of that. And, it cracks me up that Your Mom has or had a formal role at the station (ops or programming)

On "or bourbon "Are you aware of the bourbon theft in philly. 1080 cases.

I am not aware of this. And I have a great alibi.

Top shelf or bottom?

Top shelf. Forgot the brand. Gonna be hard to move.

a fine morning to all.

Hey Dale!

Grocery run time, bye for now! Loved the Land of the Loops song btw

See ya Rob!

What happened to the Pixies?

What happened to Morissey? (Just kidding,I know what happened).

Yours is not the first story of teenagers and 20 somethings who are seeking refuge in vinyl and boomer music.

Teenage nostalgia has a 25-30 year lag.

Greetings & Salutations

You MrM. I'm sorry you missed the Pixies.

*Yo, not You

Great selections to start the show! Cheers, DJ MikeLupica! I missed nothing! PIXIES 🩷🖤♥️

The chat and first mic min threw me offfffff

Diggin this!

PSA: The José James--->Little Barrie segue will be the most suggestive of this morning's program.

Alex, this record rules.

also… THE SMITHS 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Turns my morning Septa ride into an Oceans elevel montage

CICCONE YOUTH ❤️❤️❤️

Seems that Oceans eleven refernces are outside the pale. I shall confine myself to boggy creek from here on out.

I gotchu, Alex. I like those movies but I've only seen parts of a bunch of them, so have a very convoluted understanding of the plot. But. the suggestive vibe reference is spot on.

It is how i relate to music. Communication of an emotional state.

As it should be.

Somebody post an obit?

I have zero Oceans Eleven experience. Keep on posting, Alex! Sometimes it’s a risk you take.

Mike Lupica! Listening you talk about the Smiths and your daughter while driving my daughter to school: she also discovered the Smiths this year and was surprised that I know them and have their records.

@Marcus, although we are handing our kids an utterly torched planet and failing society, we are at least also handing them a decent soundtrack to save them to.

Anadol's real name is Gözen Atila. She's turkish (at least partly) and the Anadol & Marie Klock LP was recorded in Istambul.

Thanks for the realtime correction, Yvang. Consider yourself hired!

Great! And I am happy it's not a nightime job...

THIS

RN AF

I agree & concur

Ha, this song is amusing! Made up language.

You have it on a 45⁉️❣️

MrM I know a guy.

Dang.

You've all seen it but I recommend the video where he's playing kind of an english(?) teacher.

Yup!

WEEN❣️

pretty chill for maniacs

It's a project of the same guy (Terry Allen) who does that amazing song about getting carjacked by Jesus.

What Would HeyZeus Do!?!

Clearly, He would ask Sister Irene O'Connor to lead a Tuesday morning mass. With keyboards.

Wow. This is the original mix? From 1972?! By a Sister!?

How many singing nuns were there?

ALL OF THEM

This record is NUTS.

Thanks for the affirmation MrM! You are the shrink I always needed.

🙊

Um........have i missed the rapture?

Yeah, gotta wait for the next one

Somebody quick remix Jules speech from Pulp Fiction

eat your spinach, Eugene from Media

@Tandy LOL

You know you're from old school NJ when you remember how nobody liked Ween

Sister Irene has a Julee Cruise retro vibe, obviously,... with a touch of Soeur Sourire?

@ MrM thistles only diet.

That was amazing hahaha

Luved it 🏆

I wish for more manupa record turning sounds on wprb

Manual*

"Manupa Record Turning" sounds like some ancient religious practice

It's how we summon the spirit of the good Doctor Cosmo to bless us all and smite our enemies

And more mid song construction updates!

manupa = male fupa

@Dan, indeed it is!

LOL Marcus

@Tyler, my hope is that there will be a construction guy right at the window whom I can put on mic.

Jeep! & Cheers! @Alex

this Set 🏆💎❣️

Well, this song was maybe the last place I expected a verse from Aesop Rock

Q: If Aesop Rock is everywhere, is he also in the toilet?

A: We are Devo?

Omg Mike we are heading on site soon but I will stay tuned in! I swear if we hear that we are going to flip shit

😅 @Erybody

Fore! ⛳️

To quote one of yous from a playlist chat of long ago: piano player just kicked over the bench.

I'm just glad you were all here on the morning I mixed an 80s Dion track with Venom soundbytes.

DJ MikeLupica is a Real ONE! 🖤💀

reminds me of Jade Tremba - Love The Way You Dub

Hell-ectrician

@Yvang, I'll take it!

Not a rock star but kinda Keanu Reeves in Feeling Arizona. I think I consciously went for that look when that movie was out and then subconsciously kinda kept that to this day. Wish I looked like the dude.

That's a good look!

Of course for all my talk of Richard Hell, I just realized that today I look more like Wolfman Jack in American Graffiti because I am wearing a Hawaiian floral print shirt over a black T promoting someone's long-ago high school production of "Grease"

The OTA signal seems to be okay now, was sounding more like AM before.

Good morning Mike, all others. My favorite video store story, Crowded video store, Saturday afternoon. A middle aged woman in winter coat, while looking over most recent arrivals, loudly squirting whip cream from can into her mouth. I first heard it faintly, upon entering the store. It would have made a nice short video itself.

I’m always some variation of dishevel really. It’s funny when the Seattle flannel thing caught on. I’m like I’ve been doing that for years. My wife laughed at the pictures of me in like fifth grade and there I am in the flannel. But yeah, when that feeling Arizona movie came out I was trying to clean myself up a little bit, but still be cool looking. I kinda already had.

@Dan, that's fantastic!

Feeling Minnesota??

I don’t remember either movie 🙃😂

Work anxiety dates to a summer job packing up electronics in a warehouse in Long Island City ca 1979. Forklift driver used get high on PCP and try to catch us in boxes mounted on the front.

Did you know that Yamaha made a (short-lived) tape recorder/player, that used VHS tape? Nutty.

Like I always say, I should Google shit before I say it not after

if you add -ai to your google search it will not use it. My new rule of thumb.

Man, I love forklifts. I miss driving them things. I always say if I ever won the lottery, I would just buy a warehouse for another reason to just have a forklift in there and drive around in there and move shit

Would you move microwave ovens and color TVs?

THE SOFT PINK TRUTH 🩷

When I was like 17 I worked at JCPenney. And they had these new things out called microwaves, I was the package pickup guy. I moved a lot of microwaves. And back then the idea of microwaves was like to cook a whole turkey so they were huge

The “science oven” from “American Hustle”, hilarious!

“Science oven“ is actually the only thing I remember from that movie.

Really?!? Soundtrack is one of the best.

On another note, “Science Oven” is actually the name of my new ELO tribute band

Perfect! Christian Bale’s opening comb over from hell is reason enough to rewatch it.

I have terrible movie recollection. I can remember the most trivial thing about any band that’s ever been in existence, but movies are not my strong smoot.

I saw Suzy Quattro open for ELO, 2nd album tour in Chicago.

I used to have the David Lee Roth isolated scream from running with the devil as my ringtone. I gotta put that back on there that was hilarious.

I'm sure that was a hit at work.

The best thing about that ringtone was when it would go off like you were in like the checkout line or something at the market. Everybody looks at you like you’re a nut job. I’m cool with that.

My current ringtone, which I gotta get rid of actually is part of Kraftwerk “Pocket Calculator”. The part right after pressing on a special key plays a little melody. I’ve had that on there forever from Back when I used to run machines I had to have something that would cut through but now I’m in an office. Even though I’m annoyed by my own ringtone now. Gotta get the Dave Lee Roth one Back. Just as annoying, but amuses me at least

Assuming you’d never answer the call.

I remember a flash game where you had to press the vocal clips from "running with the devil" at exactly the correct times. There was a list of the 30 some different "yeEeaAh"s

Dance The Herb !?!

La Pest is a great name.

What’s better than bourbon, vodka (unflavored)?

Wargames montage scene soundtrack bed music?

Nice catch, Fran! It is indeed.

Fran! Only you would know this. Why my ihome Alexa won’t restart. Is Alexa now Amazon pay only?

45 at 33.333333

This entire show has been TopShelf! Big cheers to you, DJ MikeLupica! Here to hear the final selections!

Sluggish

this is perfect

I love that this is what qualifies as a "cover" now.

As in: Adding space synth sounds over a slowed down 70s pop 45

The Sanka version

LOL

Thanks Mike! Work is being incoveniently insistent. Will lurk out.

Prediction: you will ALL have Gilbert O'Sullivan stuck in your heads all week.

Thanks?

For Realz

I thought YOU just slowed down and it added the noises and such

Nope. That's a real release - it's on Bandcamp, I believe!

I often have Gilbert O’Sullivan stuck in my head, even without that. Them a.m. radio hits was my formative years. It just sticks.

Have you heard Melanie live starting I gotta brand new pair of roller skates, you gotta brand new key, she starts in wrong key (ironic) and has to stop, start over, out of her range. Surreal.

One hit wonder in wrong key. Category of one.

Hey Hey Mr. Lupica. A Wednesday artifact here. Where have you been. What was that name you had for the wed. loyal?

Hey Paula! Wednesday Night Pitcrew?

Is this Beck at slower speed as well?

Worry not, your membership card is transferable here.

Had to look up to see if Melanie was still alive. She’s not. RIP Melanie. Anyway, speaking of old people that are still alive my wife just got tickets Herb Alpert in Delaware. He’s 91. We’re also seeing Tom Jones. For the second time in a three year period. Tom Jones by the way kicked ass or I should say his band, but his voice was phenomenal too when we saw him two years ago.

Not Paula: I woke up at my girlfriend's. I remember when you had the video simalcast. I think that is what alerted the aliens. (kidding = I Hope!0

Ahh yes, the old Starlite Lounge days of deep Covid.

Tom should have teamed up with David Clayton Thomas, two most parodied singers.

I believe you used your daughter's computer until the battery died. Social contact in the Covid Regime

BoneMachineDrumCircleOfLife

I need to hear What’s New Pussycat? Slow speed

@Dan = Hilarious!

To me this sounds like deconstructed “angel of the morning“

Wo, wo, woooooooooo

OhHoHoHaHa

With mythical obscene lyrics!

Poor Dan, he tries so hard to be serious. How does his chats devolve in zany, madcap adventures???!!!

Tom could have sold vials of his sweat, like country stars did, do.

Volume UP @TYLER! Erybody!!

Peas out and BCNU!

Unhinging coming.

What pop stars would you guys like to see magically melded into one Mythical Pop Star? I nominate Cher & Bjork....

DJ MikeLupica! Another Gem of a Show! Many thanks and kind regards to you, Sir! Cheers Dears!

Great show Mr. Mike. So glad to bump into this by accident!

Thanks all, see ya next Tuesday at 7 AM!

Thanks till next time!
