Good Wednesday to you and yours, Rob.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:03:25 PM
Howdy, Jon!
environmental justice 5:08:28 PM
omg
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:09:05 PM
YIKES about the surgery, Jon. I'm glad you are doing well, and that the glue is holding up
donutage 5:10:17 PM
Hello, Jon & chatters!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:10:54 PM
Still England 2 2 Croatia
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:10:55 PM
Thanks, Rob! Hey EJ and Donutage.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:11:06 PM
I got to media tiempo and had to press stop.
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:11:08 PM
Hi EJ and donutage
Amy Lee 5:11:10 PM
Glad you're ok. Scars make good stories.
donutage 5:11:20 PM
I'm impressed that you're on the radio when you are literally coming apart at the seams!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:12:08 PM
Thanks, Amy. I don't think I realized that they would cut me open as much as they did but it was a very large (harmless) lipoma. Bigger than the surgeon expected even.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:12:29 PM
We will NOT talk about the moment checking into the hospital where the admin mistook my daughter for my wife.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:12:35 PM
OK?!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:12:37 PM
At least it's not England 2, Columbia 0 (RIP Kirsty MacColl)
donutage 5:12:44 PM
Eeep!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:15:03 PM
Time will tell if this is a scar. I suspect not ultimately.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:15:21 PM
Donutage, I may have to borrow that.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:16:58 PM
While asking for updates, please do let me know when your drive shirts show. Add 5 and Mystery Pack folks, thank you for your patience (the pins should be here early next week).
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:17:16 PM
Also the new WPRB Bluesky account is https://bsky.app/profile/wprb.com!
Dale Hazelton 5:18:18 PM
a fine afternoon to all.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:18:49 PM
Hey Dale! England back up 3-2 I see...
Amy Lee 5:22:03 PM
Without talking about it, that could say something about your daughters character in that she's caring & concerned and/or her father is just that ..youthful.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:22:24 PM
The admin's view was also, to their defense, obstructed.
Dale Hazelton 5:23:19 PM
i missed the lipoma discussion. did you take it home in a jar or anything like that? donate it to the mutter museum?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:23:31 PM
But there was certainly a silent "did that really happen?" moment shared on our side of the desk.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:23:56 PM
I did not get it as a post-op prize, Dale. I do have a detailed .pdf about the various colors it contained though.
donutage 5:25:38 PM
I was visiting friends (who are maybe 10 years older than me max) while they were having some remodeling done, and at one point the contractor looked at me & asked my friend, "So is this your son?" Everyone involved was somewhat horrified.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:26:10 PM
Always wise to never ask someone "is that your child?" or "when are you due?"
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:26:26 PM
I've seen both go wrong!
donutage 5:26:28 PM
Now we have a running joke where I refer to him as "dad" and he refers to me as "son". So, I guess it'
donutage 5:26:45 PM
…it's a net win.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:27:01 PM
My buddy Stephen was mistaken for my son at a local restaurant but to be fair I am 20 years older than he is so not crazy. I think he felt worse about it than I did!
donutage 5:27:54 PM
Anyway, time is fake and age doubly so.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:28:09 PM
Indeed.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:28:42 PM
How have YOUR weeks been?
donutage 5:29:12 PM
I like this track! "Brutalist with filigree" is a delightful title.
donutage 5:30:09 PM
I saw Universal Girlfriend (& a bunch of other bands) at the FU Church last weekend. It was a good time!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:30:44 PM
Oh nice! I saw NOUN are playing in New Brunswick this weekend but I am not 100% sure what my calendar holds.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:31:03 PM
Might try and go see The Breeders on Sunday.
donutage 5:31:53 PM
(Universal Girlfriend is Marissa from Screamales/Noun, Augusta Koch from Cayetana/gladie, & 2 others. Philly supergroup!)
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:32:21 PM
Yes indeed. This is what reminded me!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:32:35 PM
My week has been slow. Though I did see a couple of hiummingbirds
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:32:59 PM
That is not nothing!
donutage 5:33:20 PM
Lightning bugs are back.
donutage 5:34:16 PM
I'm sure you'll say in the next break, but is this another new Fela reissue?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:34:51 PM
It is not! It is a track from one I already played I forgot was still in the "as yet unaired" folder. I was one song short and this slotted in nicely...
donutage 5:35:26 PM
Ace!
DJ Tenderloin 5:37:10 PM
Greetings Jon Solomon! Greetings chatters! Hard to pull myself away from the very exciting England vs Croatia match happening presently.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:37:31 PM
DJ Tenderloin, would you rather listen to me or Alexi Lalas? Multitask!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:38:07 PM
(I have been following the text updates since I went on the radio.)
DJ Tenderloin 5:38:21 PM
You always Mr. Solomon! I said it was hard to pull myself away - and yet here I am!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:38:38 PM
It, like you, is appreciated.
DJ Tenderloin 5:39:22 PM
Got my T-shirt today - really nice. super soft, great color, really nice screen print ink. quality. And I love a good one color print - simple.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:39:44 PM
You are the first person to confirm receipt of a shirt! That's amazing!
DJ Tenderloin 5:40:10 PM
Also I saw Los Mirlos from Peru at Harbor Park and it was sublime.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:41:28 PM
I was very sorry to miss Uranium Club there. Free shows with Pissed Jeans and Titus Andronicus (among others) just announced!
DJ Tenderloin 5:42:07 PM
did you hear about Repo Man screening with Circle Jerks live performance and q&a with Alex Cox at the Keswick? I have no idea how much $ - tix go on sale tomorrow
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:42:19 PM
We dropped the swag off at the mail depot on Friday so I am delighted with this turnaround.
DJ Tenderloin 5:43:01 PM
Titus Andronicus for free would be kick ass - I gotta look into that
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:43:17 PM
They were GREAT when I saw them in Atlantic City (also outside).
DJ Tenderloin 5:44:26 PM
next week i'm in new orleans so no show for me. excited! wife has a conference and I'm going just cuz
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:44:57 PM
Excellent. Best kind of trip.
jimbooooo 5:45:13 PM
Tooooooody 🩷
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:45:29 PM
I had no idea about this EP prior to yesterday, Jiimboooo!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:45:44 PM
I did snag a pair of tickets to see her for free at Union Pool in August though for Summer Thunder.
jimbooooo 5:48:34 PM
Cool!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 5:54:55 PM
England 4 Croatia 2 in minute 90
DJ Tenderloin 5:56:02 PM
Ishtar gets a bad wrap. Not a great movie, but not as bad as people make it out to be.
DJ Tenderloin 5:56:22 PM
hey that's me!
DJ Tenderloin 5:56:59 PM
I think I'll need a cut for that free copy!
Joe M 5:57:05 PM
My shirt arrived today too!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:57:42 PM
The first 22 minutes of Ishtar remain a delight.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 5:57:48 PM
Oh that's wonderful Joe.
Joe M 5:58:57 PM
Just checked and Elaine May is still going at 94 yrs old
Joe M 5:59:28 PM
She's a legend and it's a bummer how she got treated after directing Ishtar.
DJ Tenderloin 5:59:36 PM
it's only cuz ishtar cost so much and expectations were very high. like heaven's gate.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:00:29 PM
There's a screening of Ishtar in NYC soon with Carol Kane doing an intro. Tempting...
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:00:48 PM
I believe May never directed a movie again. Which is not right.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:01:19 PM
DJ Tenderloin, also if you look at the movies each lead were in prior to Ishtar I think people expected something less stupid (in a good way). Reds for one, Tootsie the other!
Rob from Maryland 🦀 6:01:40 PM
Looks like the game is over. England 4 2 Croatia
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:02:15 PM
Kane stops a third Croatian goal from going in and that's that. Onward to Ghana and Panama at 7...
DJ Tenderloin 6:03:04 PM
yes, and the joke that they kept trying to play of hoffman being the ladies man and beatty being the dork. kind of a one beat joke that got flogged throughout the movie
DJ Tenderloin 6:05:59 PM
but again - the fact that it got saddled with being the worst movie - and it's far from that. the worst movie i ever saw, i think, in a movie theatre, was The Flintstones. It was just horrible. I'll never get that 2 hrs. back. I mean I wasn't expecting much to begin with - I mean, the live action flinstones for chrissakes - but it was so just so mind numbingly bad in every way.
DJ Tenderloin 6:06:35 PM
Anyone wanna chime in with The Worst Movie I Ever Saw?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:09:16 PM
Worst movie I paid to see in a theater?
DJ Tenderloin 6:09:22 PM
We have time - this being Water Damage I'll just assume this will be going on for the next 30 min. or so.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:09:39 PM
Spawn or End of Days. The latter I sat on the floor for the final act because I felt I no longer deserved a seat.
DJ Tenderloin 6:09:40 PM
Yep - paid to see in a theatre
DJ Tenderloin 6:10:40 PM
Also that 2nd wonder woman movie I thought was awful. I liked the first wonder woman movie.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:13:32 PM
That was fine as something to watch one afternoon on TV, but yes.
maggie s 6:14:13 PM
unsecretly but sort of ashamedly looooove the spawn soundtrack over here
maggie s 6:14:39 PM
movie was not good but my brother was obsessed with the comics, whatreyagonnado
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:17:02 PM
I still have one of the toys in a box in the basement, maybe? The clown perhaps?
maggie s 6:17:20 PM
the worst movie for me, or maybe just because i got the maddest at it, was signs. how dare you trick me into watching a movie about faith that is also filled with bad science
maggie s 6:17:53 PM
violator! my brother had a LOT of the figures, never took them out of the packaging.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:18:10 PM
Friend of the show maura.com and I saw Signs at a Lehigh Valley drive-in. Perfect situation for such a thing.
Dan Cohoon 6:18:46 PM
Just what the doctor ordered.
DJ Tenderloin 6:19:12 PM
Maggie S - I feel like each M. Night movie is kinda worst than the last.
maggie s 6:19:33 PM
i can't remember if we saw it in hamilton or in some bucks county theater
maggie s 6:20:30 PM
anyway HELLO sorry to jump straight in with two feet in hot takeville
Mats Sabbath 6:20:39 PM
Jon, lovin the W Damage! waza, champ
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:20:42 PM
Make an entrance!
Joe M 6:20:42 PM
Years ago when my wife and I were dating and living far apart and we met half way at a movie theater. The only two movies that were playing when we got there was a Bollywood movie called "mere baap pehle aap" and another movie called "The Love Guru"
Joe M 6:21:05 PM
For years we talked about how we should have gone to mele baap people aap
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:21:41 PM

Dale Hazelton 6:21:42 PM
i DO enjoy the long droning instrumentals on this fine program.
Mats Sabbath 6:22:10 PM
one of the more complex WD moments
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:22:25 PM
My heart and the length of this track are both full.
Mats Sabbath 6:22:53 PM
well said
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:23:59 PM
The Love Guru was definitely a "put it on one night because it was on streaming and realized even *I* have my limits" movie.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:24:42 PM
Dj Tenderloin, around 1998 I lived within walking distance of a movie theater that had $1.50 Mondays so I saw just about everything that came out eventually.
DJ Tenderloin 6:24:42 PM
Forgot about the Love Guru. that was bad.
Dan Cohoon 6:25:21 PM
I saw Cabin Boy in the Theater. People walking out saying "That was the worst thing I ever saw" as we were going in. I loved it.
DJ Tenderloin 6:25:36 PM
Jon Solomon - $1.50 Monday movies is what this country needs!
Joe M 6:26:01 PM
We started a "bad movie club" with some friends, put the love guru on for our first meeting, turned it off after like half an hour and disbanded the club.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:26:05 PM
I saw Cabin Boy opening weekend. If memory serves there was a blizzard that weekend too? Three of us (maybe four) and maybe two other brave souls.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:26:35 PM
I'm trying to remember the triple feature. Titan A.E., The Skulls and...would Final Destination also have been out around then?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:27:03 PM
Yep! All released in 2000! This tracks!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:27:24 PM
Ajay Saggar of The Ex guests on this jammer.
DJ Tenderloin 6:27:33 PM
you know what was bad - The Radioland Murders from George Lucas that noone remembers
Dan Cohoon 6:27:38 PM
This track is the bomb. I pretend it is 1995 when I listen to Jon.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:28:27 PM
It is a name your price download, linked in the playlist.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:29:36 PM
I pretend it is 2027.
DJ Tenderloin 6:29:45 PM
Also - in the category of movies that one loves despite being maligned, i.e. Ishtar, Heaven's Gate, etc. I would like to submit the following 2 films: Spielberg's 1941 & The Coen Bros. Hudsucker Proxy. I stand by them both. saw them both in the theatre.
Joe M 6:29:49 PM
Yeah this is great.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:30:36 PM
Love Hudsucker Proxy. Talk in the same podcast about going to see The Big Lebowski opening weekend, my mom and I laughing the whole time and crickets from the rest of the theater.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:31:07 PM
Here's the episode if you want to listen when I'm not on the radio...
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:31:09 PM
https://maryvsmovies.com/2026/06/11/episode-237/
Joe M 6:31:22 PM
There was one of those cheap theaters near us in high school. My friend went to Crocadile Dundee 3 like 20 times.... as a joke? Dumb bored high school stuff. I saw it with him 3 times.
DJ Tenderloin 6:32:15 PM
I'll check it out Jon 👍
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:32:41 PM
Over in Morrisville, PA there was a beat down dollar theater for ages. Loved going to see nonsense there. Not Another Teen Movie? Sure!
Mats Sabbath 6:33:30 PM
Ann Magnuson of Bongwater in the Cabin Boy
donutage 6:35:00 PM
I also like Hudsucker Proxy!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:36:51 PM
My daughter and I alternate picking what movies we watch and maybe my next pick will be Hudsucker Proxy. Though I was leaning Defending Your Life.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:37:15 PM
Mats, I saw a guy in Brooklyn a couple Mondays ago in a Bongwater shirt. I gave him "the nod."
donutage 6:37:25 PM
For worst movie, maybe one of the later Matrix movies? Also, this is maybe an unpopular opinion, but Royal Tenenbaums really fell flat for me.
DJ Tenderloin 6:37:36 PM
I love defending your life and pretty much all albert brooks movies
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:38:01 PM
Our previous movie was an Albert Brooks movie (indirectly). Out of Sight.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:38:22 PM
I think she's deciding between The Holdovers and American Graffiti for her choice.
DJ Tenderloin 6:38:50 PM
donutage! blasphemy! I love Royal Tenebaums - which may be my fave of his movies. :)
donutage 6:39:31 PM
Independence Day is pretty terrible, but I watched it on a plane while getting tipsy on complimentary scotch, so I just laughed uproariously at it.
DJ Tenderloin 6:39:37 PM
American Graffiti is a brilliant film. And in a strange way holds up way better than star wars
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:40:18 PM
I saw ID4 at an advance screening at the biggest theater in Chicago. Crowd was going banananananas. Excellent experience.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:40:37 PM
My old roommate Jeb saw it elsewhere and had it ruined in exceptional fashion. Hear me out.
DJ Tenderloin 6:40:40 PM
Tell her I vote American Graffiti. The scenes with Wolfman Jack are poignant I think.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:40:59 PM
I met Wolfman Jack in high school. He was unpressed I was also a DJ. Where was I?
donutage 6:41:17 PM
Sorry, Tenderloin! It was an odd situation where my wife & I saw it as a kind of couple-date with some people we didn't know well, and it just made everyone even more uncomfortable.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:41:19 PM
Critical moment in ID4. Heroes on alien ship. About to upload virus. Everything is tense.
DJ Tenderloin 6:41:32 PM
You met the WOLFMAN??
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:41:49 PM
They cut to a shot of the virus uploading and from the back of the theater a single voice says flatly "you've got mail."
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:42:11 PM
There is no longer any tension.
DJ Tenderloin 6:42:31 PM
donutage you are forgiven! perhaps in time you'll give it another try. great movie i think. not everyone's favorite to be sure.
donutage 6:42:32 PM
hahahah
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:42:35 PM
I wish I'd been there for one person to ruin everyone else's experience with three words like that.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:43:21 PM
I went to a summer program in Chicago after my junior year in high school for radio / tv / film and one of our field trips was to a broadcasting museum where we met Wolfman Jack. Alas, don't think there are any photos.
DJ Tenderloin 6:44:02 PM
wolfman jack was a presence in the 70s when I was growing up. pretty cool you got to meet him, even though he was unimpressed.
donutage 6:44:14 PM
Two great stories, Jon!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:44:49 PM
This is the second time meeting Wolfman Jack has come up in as many weeks, after not sharing this anecdote for years.
DJ Tenderloin 6:45:09 PM
you can't stop the WOLFMAN
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:45:43 PM
He was only 57 when he died! Which means I'm older now than he was when I met him. Please excuse me for a moment. I need to be alone.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:45:54 PM
Ok. I'm back. Everything's cool.
donutage 6:45:57 PM
If only the Wolfman had known that one day, you would be the ILLUSTRIOUS Jon Solomon!
Joe M 6:46:20 PM
I met Wolfman Jack at Yankees Fan Fest at the Javits Center in 1995. I still have no idea who Wolfman Jack is but his line wasn't as long as David Cones.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:46:29 PM
New short-term goal: outlive Wolfman Jack.
DJ Tenderloin 6:46:35 PM
wow - he was only 57. christ. i'm 60 in november.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:46:44 PM
Joe he died in 1995. Do you have an alibi? Does David Cone?!
Joe M 6:47:22 PM
Could have been a different wolfman?
DJ Tenderloin 6:47:45 PM
RIP Wolfman Jack! "here, have a popsicle"
donutage 6:47:52 PM
It was probably Cone. I never trusted that guy.
Joe M 6:48:27 PM
It was before the season so must have been a few months before he died?
Rob from Maryland 🦀 6:49:56 PM
The Fall! The Fall. The Fall
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:50:00 PM
My search for more information kicked back a fever dream of Wolfman Jack being on the radio in the Yankees clubhouse during a perfect game that feels like a total AI hallucination.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:50:35 PM
This "new" Fall song is very divisive I've seen.
DJ Tenderloin 6:51:19 PM
I have a cool xmas wolfman jack radio ID if you ever want Jon...🧑‍🎄
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:52:18 PM
I might have that one too? Can check from home...
maggie s 6:52:22 PM
i got roped into looking at new lights for the dining room and buying birthday present concert tix. cheapo second-run theaters are the best we need them back
maggie s 6:52:51 PM
my mom took us to see the land before time at our beloved second-run theater and the film MELTED within about 90 seconds. tragic.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:54:55 PM
I went to see the Star Wars special edition with a band I was on tour with outside Pittsburgh and the movie kept going in and out of focus. Every time I got up to complain the problem was fixed. They offered free passes but I kept explaining that we lived in Chicago and were never coming back. Eventually I won.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:55:45 PM
It really felt like the projectionist was messing with us.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:56:20 PM
I just had another Star Wars special edition memory come back but it is slightly blue (unlike Max Rebo who is completely blue).
DJ Tenderloin 6:57:08 PM
I've never had the film melt on screen (though that is such a classic film thing I kinda wish I had) nor had focusing problems but I have been to movies where they've put the reels up out of order. also a "free tickets" situation
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 6:59:06 PM
I once purchased tickets to a midnight screening and the tickets said 12:01 am ET when they really meant 11:59 pm ET the same night. A lot of angry folks in that parking lot. Had imbibed in a energy drink called something like BONECRUSHER prior but had no movie to watch so I just stayed awake mad until sunrise.
DJ Tenderloin 6:59:35 PM
BONECRUSHER! ha ha
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:00:24 PM
Actually, the tickets might have said 12:00 am ET and a bunch of us tried valiantly to explain to the theater manager when one day changed to a different day.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:00:32 PM
RIP AMC 24.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:01:40 PM
Let us see if this summons Dan Wade (2) to the chat...
maggie s 7:01:46 PM
oh my god what a nightmare.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:02:12 PM
So I had to wait 23:59 to come back and see...

You rang?
Dan Wade {2} 7:02:47 PM
Such nice boys
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:02:48 PM
This is the best.
maggie s 7:04:33 PM
some friends of mine put out a couple eps that sound like chat pile but probably drunker.
maggie s 7:04:52 PM
one of them is now in a surf band.
Classy Pat 7:06:34 PM
I went to Aarhus last year
Classy Pat 7:07:11 PM
oh weird i was in Aarhus during this festival. I did not go
Dan Wade {2} 7:08:30 PM
Oh man I missed Winter Damage
donutage 7:09:45 PM
I visited Aarhus in… 2001, I think. It was for a conference at the university, where everything was brand new and beautiful.
Classy Pat 7:10:07 PM
nice. I really loved their art museum
donutage 7:11:05 PM
I don't remember much about the city, but I did insist on a sidetrip to Bilund to visit Legoland.
Zach 7:12:24 PM
You keep playing water damage, I'll keep drowning in it.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:12:31 PM
That's the spirit, Zach!
michael gudgeon 7:12:34 PM
love mm and mm !
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:12:56 PM
Good to have you both here.
Alex from Media 7:14:00 PM
Hey Jon and all! See what happens when I try to have a life, I miss the Water Damage. Let that be a lesson to me. There is no life but Jon Solomon.
Zach 7:14:02 PM
Thanks Jon. I've pushed through like 60 pages of novel edit notes today so the inside of my brain kind feels like a water damage song to begin with
maggie s 7:14:28 PM
i've been to denmark twice, but not to aarhus. the second time was a theme park tour that did include legoland!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:14:50 PM
Alex, that's exactly how I feel.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:16:03 PM
I went to Denmark as a kid and my sister got terribly sick. So a lot of trip was spent with her at the hotel watching their version of MTV. The videos we saw those days on repeat are etched into the insides of my eyelids.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:16:31 PM
Dancing In The Streets. Running Up That Hill. A band called King that never made it in the states.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:17:01 PM
Good work on the edit notes, Zach.
DJ Tenderloin 7:17:02 PM
alright seriously how is it that everyone has been to DENMARK? When can I go to Denmark?
maggie s 7:17:51 PM
the first time we went, we were also watching mtv and really enjoying the subtitled episodes of pimp my ride
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:17:53 PM
I've been more than once. The second time we drove over from Belgium and someone stole our car radio. My mom yelled "the whole car is gone!" when she saw the broken glass and missing tuner. This remains funny to me.
maggie s 7:17:59 PM
"jeg pimpen hans ride!!"
donutage 7:18:14 PM
I'm sorry you had to find out this way, Tenderloin!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:18:22 PM
Driving back to Belgium with plastic where a window used to be, not amazing.
DJ Tenderloin 7:18:23 PM
I have been to other parts of europe - but none of the scandinavian countries. I was young - and they were expensive.
DJ Tenderloin 7:19:36 PM
donutage - it has been alot to take in. Is there anything else you want to tell me? Has everyone been to NORWAY too?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:20:28 PM
I have been to Norway, yes. Again...not in 40 years or so.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:21:24 PM
Pat informs me he's delayed by traffic so you get a little bonus post show show tonight. Clamour Club soon!
maggie s 7:21:43 PM
i have been to norway!
donutage 7:21:48 PM
We also made stops in Odense (birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen!) & Copenhagen on that trip, and spent an unscheduled night in Malmö, Sweden when we discovered that we'd stumbled on their annual "Krabbenfest" ("krabben" being something like crawfish.)
maggie s 7:22:16 PM
i'm a big baby who hates heat so i demand northern europe if we're doing that kind of thing
donutage 7:22:24 PM
But no I haven't been to Norway. (I have also been to Iceland, which is the THE BEST)
maggie s 7:22:39 PM
iceland really is the best
DJ Tenderloin 7:23:31 PM
I haven't been to "the old world" since I was 18. So 1984. I went with a backpack, a Eurail pass, a copy of "Let's Go", and a song in my heart. England, France, Italy, Greece, East Germany, West Germany (there were 2!), Belgium, Holland, Austria, where else... and Ireland.
donutage 7:23:37 PM
I went to Iceland 3 years ago, and I'm still sad I had to come back.
Classy Pat 7:23:48 PM
that sounds excellent. does anybody have a boat? we could probably do a group trip
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:24:03 PM
I have a recurring dream about going to a record store in Iceland that I think I have created in my mind.
donutage 7:24:07 PM
I hear WPRB has a barge?
DJ Tenderloin 7:24:23 PM
Iceland is a big one on my list. I want to do the whole Ring Road!
Classy Pat 7:24:25 PM
perfect
maggie s 7:24:27 PM
we went to iceland in 2011 and in 2017. my husband went again last fall for a strongman competition
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:25:12 PM
Maggie, did he win?
donutage 7:25:27 PM
The thing about Iceland is you will encounter ALL the weather. Possibly on the same day.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:25:40 PM
Iceland incredible. So many sheep veering into the road.
DJ Tenderloin 7:25:51 PM
WPRB Cruise to the Caribean! Meet your favorite DJs! Jon Solomon will be at the piano bar hosting a 25 hour Christmas sing-a-long!
Classy Pat 7:25:52 PM
disqualified after he beat up Múm
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:26:11 PM
Múm's the word.
maggie s 7:26:35 PM
he won by making friends along the way
donutage 7:26:44 PM
I am anti-cruise ship, but I would get on that one, Tenderloin.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:26:50 PM
A WPRB Cruise is an exceptionally bad idea.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:27:10 PM
100% chance we return with fewer DJs than we started with.
DJ Tenderloin 7:27:15 PM
It is!
maggie s 7:27:20 PM
(he co-runs a strongman wiki kind of site and has been friends with the guy who runs the iceland competition since the mid-90s!)
donutage 7:27:32 PM
lololol
Ryan Hamilton 7:27:47 PM
This is Ryan from Coyote. Thanks for playing this. A buddy just texted me about it.
donutage 7:28:07 PM
: O
Classy Pat 7:28:22 PM
Hey Ryan, ever been to Scandinavia?
DJ Tenderloin 7:28:23 PM
I see these theme cruises all the time - there's one with X and the Damned etc. - I abhor cruises. I've been on more than one, sadly, and they are a drag for sure.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:28:25 PM
Ryan, incredible. Been playing these sessions in reverse order of airing since COVID broadcasts and tonight your number was up!
Ryan Hamilton 7:29:07 PM
Awesome! I’ve been to Denmark once, does that count?
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:29:07 PM
It holds up nicely, cussing and all!
Classy Pat 7:29:27 PM
yes very much counts
maggie s 7:29:27 PM
DENMARK HIVE EXPANDS!
Ryan Hamilton 7:29:33 PM
Haha. Little kids with potty mouths
donutage 7:29:47 PM
One of us! One of us!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:29:49 PM
Were you one of the members of Coyote who later helped me move?
Classy Pat 7:29:57 PM
tenderloin better be booking his trip now.
Classy Pat 7:30:04 PM
enjoying this set
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:30:10 PM
Or I should say, were you part of the moving service we hired that turned out to be Dudes From Bands?
maggie s 7:30:29 PM
was that the moving service that used to include members of ween in some capacity
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:30:53 PM
I was able to talk said movers to help me push a couch through a window we took the frame off of because it wouldn't fit through a doorway.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:31:13 PM
When the time came to replace the couch, we had to saw the legs off to get it out of the same room. I'm full of stories tonight!
Classy Pat 7:31:16 PM
you wanna do a wprb live session, first you gotta do chores for Jonny
Ryan Hamilton 7:31:24 PM
Oh must’ve been Mambo movers. I did work for them, but I don’t think i was on that job
maggie s 7:31:42 PM
*rip torn voice* IF YOU CAN CARRY AN AMP, YOU CAN CARRY A COUCH
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:31:43 PM
Mambo! Totally. This was post-recording (by 5-6 months).
Classy Pat 7:32:01 PM
Mälmo Movers
michael gudgeon 7:32:03 PM
what a banger
donutage 7:32:06 PM
So much Lore dropping in the chat tonight!
Ryan Hamilton 7:32:12 PM
I bet it was Trevor our bass player
maggie s 7:32:39 PM
oh shit i think i used to live like two blocks from mambo movers
donutage 7:33:16 PM
Ugh, I can't believe I have to leave early, but the dinner bell is ringing.
DJ Tenderloin 7:33:21 PM
sawing the legs off the couch! Wow I am here on a good night...
Classy Pat 7:33:28 PM
later donut!
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:33:31 PM
That tracks. I remember (vaguely) that there was someone from Coyote (a fact I had not thought about until you joined the chat) and at least another dude from a band I'd recorded who showed up that day. They were cool with trying the couch trick since we already had a sense of each other's deal.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:33:36 PM
See ya Donutage!
donutage 7:33:38 PM
Goonight, y'all!
Classy Pat 7:33:41 PM
Mambo moved me once, the crew included a Mazarin guy and... maybe and Aspera as Astra guy?
Joe M 7:34:08 PM
You guys I don't think I met wolfman Jack. Thumbing thru scrap books for like an hour and coming up empty.
Mats Sabbath 7:34:20 PM
new Chat Pile! Reason to live. For stoners they are productive.
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:34:22 PM

Mats Sabbath 7:34:28 PM

Joe M 7:34:52 PM
Almost certain I did see Coyote with Man Man at the cake shop back in the day tho. Hope I am not lying about that too.

That would make sense Joe M. We shared members
Mats Sabbath 7:36:04 PM
Coyote reminding me of Dirty Old Man River (who Albini recorded)
DJ Tenderloin 7:36:16 PM
Jon - had a sense of each other's deal is a very 90s thing to say ! Lots of good stories tonight. Goodnight Donutage

Mats Sabbath 7:51:48 PM
DJ Tenderloin I sent wprb a postcard from a x-country train trip in which I wore a battleworn green wprb shirt thru these united states. I love trains.
Joe M 7:52:02 PM
Awesome. That was a cool band too. That guy rules.

Mats Sabbath - I love me some trains too. I took a train once from Baltimore on to NY through Chicago to Montana
Jon Solomon 🐧 (host) 7:53:46 PM
Took a train from Chicago to Philly pre-Internet and only discovered I had missed a big sports moment when I got in the taxi and found a newspaper in the back seat.
Mats Sabbath 7:54:14 PM
