Order up!

Whatup!

Light up!

hey now. got a tee shirt in the mail. it is VERY purple.

THE POGUES ❤️

Great new, Dale! It is indeed very purple. I would say an 8.5 on the Purple Nurple index.

*news

goofy grape purple, at least.

I'm up.

All the best people are, Yvang.

all the most purple people

@Mike- I had a bunch of dreams about your show this morning. In one of them I was listening in a house that I haven't lived in for 25 years.

THAT WAS NO DREAM

Ha!

I am purple due to heatwave.

In another dream I wanted to listen to your show outside, but the old vacuum tube radio was vandalized, so I went to get another one, but got waylaid.

What's the local temp, Yvang? I was in France 20+ years ago during the crazy heatwave and people were FREAKING out.

Bruh

BROHHHHHHH

Sorry I had to find a converter from C to F... So today it's 107,6 F around Bordeaux ,slightly less in my area.

Braahh 👙⁉️

Stay hydrated, pal. And thinking back on it, that was a crazy trip. I was the best man at a pal's wedding in Annecy. We were up in the mountains so the heat wasn't so bad, but the cities and lowlands were broiling. At the same time, there was a massive blackout back home in NYC (which I missed.)

Over 105°F is just rude 🥵

Hard agree, MrM.

Good morning Mike and pitcrew!

Hello Alex!

We famously don't have A/C in Fr... so yes 23 years ago a heatwave killed around 15000 people mostly elder people.

Ouch Yvan!

Yep, that's what I remember. Really awful. Last time I was in Paris, the AirBnB had a portable AC unit not unlike the one here in the Barge studio (which I discussed having to to do inappropriate things to last week.)

I remember years back in Philly several 100 died during one.

Hello Alex, Number 6, Malcontent, Dale, Mike and all.

Hi Yvang, stay cool!

I am always cool. Ok it's not so easy...

Greetings & Salutations, DJ MikeLupica, DJ Number6, Dale, Yvang, AlexFromMedia, Erybody!

THIS RN AF

Excellent selections to start the show! Cheers, DJ MikeLupica!

B.A.D. was underrated (and also inconsistent), but I always thought this song was great (and weirdly sad.)

Hello •ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ•💀 on this early morning! Still getting the sand out of my eyes.

Thanks MrM!

High fiving down the bar, yo to yvang, mrm, #6, dale and all the anonymous and sullen down the far end whom i shall not disturb from their reveries.

Hi Alex, I'm in Wildwood today, almost the far end of NJ.

Look around you - Look down the bar from you - At the faces that you see - Are you sure this is where you want to be?

I wake up screaming; glad to know i'm amongst friends

@ mrm. I have this unsettling feeling that some of them might be the last i see.

somewhere i have the little vial of joe strummer beer backwash i won during an fmu marathon many moons ago.

@Dale, I still have mine too!

A lot of libraries are getting rid of mucho books in favor of more computer terminals.

You’re cut off @AlexFromMedia 🚫🥃❌🍷🚫🧉

Mikelupicaontheradio mikelupicaontheradio

Say it three times in a dark bathroom and then look in the mirror

I listen to the radio screaming

If its from the Joe Strummer backwash they serve round here its all for the best.

I still the Mike Lupica zine library that I bought at the FMU yard sale.

Hahaha, I'll let you know when I am ready to unload Volume Two in the set. Sort of like encyclopedias.

Which reminds me to add: Funk AND Wagnalls? In THIS economy??

Funk WITHOUT Wagnalls?! Not in this Economy!!

And the cherished Dog So Large I Cannot See Past It.

General question. What is the first instance of the "no wave sax"?

I want to start a social media feed called "In This Economy?" and just have it be posts like that.

"Lo AND behold? In THIS economy???" etc.

Good morning Mike, all…libraries around here have LEGO clubs, monthly meeting, competitive project, display, etc. kind of took the place of boy, Girl Scouts.

Good question, Alex. My best guess would be something involving James Chance, but that's a rookie wager at best.

Sturm AND drang? In this economy?

Exactly!

‼️PYLON‼️

Saw Pylon at Tramps in 82. They were delayed by traffic and didnt start till 2 am

Wow, nice! I'm sure it was worth the wait.

w/ Tramps?? 🧐

tramps was a club in nyc.

Hello Mike!

Indeed it was

I can has jokes! Even in this Economy$!

Hey Marcus!

I always liked Tramps. Unlike most NYC venues, it was big and wide, not small and skinny.

Tramps nightclub with that awning. They had a strict door policy. Fake IDs not generally welcome

“I always liked Tramps”❣️

Well, tramps like us, baby we were born to run

LOL MrM.

I do love a club with a good awning.

Was that the place with pillars in the middle of the mosh pit?

@Jim, yes, Tramps was pillar-heavy.

I had better luck where the door was an industrial fire exit propped open witha 2x4

This has been a great morning set.

Thanks Pengy!

Saw the Pietasters there.

Wetlands had a good awning, if I remember correctly?

Maybe at one time.

Wetlands had a marquee jutting out. Down in Tribeca

I met Ian MacKaye and Lloyd Kaufman at the same event at the Wetlands.

I think I liked Wetlands most because shows ended pretty early there and you could walk to Chinatown for food drinks afterwards.

this JAM!

I think it was zine related. What the hell was it?

I knew I turned the corner agewise when I walked past Wetlands at 7 pm and asked the kids on line who was playing: 7 Seconds

I went on my way to dinner with my wife

Young til ya die

If it had been Agent Orange I would have changed my plans

Belgium, man

Belgians yes!

I thought that but can no longer drink.

the station needs a kars 4 kids style jingle.

What exactly do you mean when you say "needs", Dale.

Guud Stuffs 📻🎵🎼🎶💙

Thx for confirming, Yvang!

As someone who's existential dread and fatigue hit a bit extra hard when i woke up this morning, it's really nice to feel validated. And to feel the magic.

Right on, Pengy. I live to serve.

I wake up at 8pm, this is my middle of the day.

mike, like the apex tech guy always said, 'now i can't call YOU....'

Driving my kid to school, I turn on the radio and sing along with Cymande. That song was also featured in the Spike Lee film Crooklyn with a subplot about the 1973 Knicks

@Dale, when the toolbox is full, it's yours to keep.

The "Fresh Air Fund" sends (sent?) city kids to summer camp

my sally struthers vcr repair course never paid off.

Marcus, Homeboy Sandman is an interdimensional oracle

@Dale you mean it hasn't paid off YET.

this is quite lovely.

U-Roy is your ace from space!

Or perhaps you meant the Blood Sucking Maniacs? (Also quite lovely.)

Gem 💎🎶🎵💙

JAWBREAKER 💚

Thanks Mike! I have arrived at my place of employment, where i shall be grinding up bacteria today with all the attendant aromas and mess and ppe. Will listen through.

I think I forgot to backannounce a song in that last set -- that was Blackbird covering the Kinks' "I Need You" -- between U-Roy and the Blood Sucking Maniacs.

Grind that bacteria in glory, Alex!

Down with ppe, yeah you know me! Peace out!

Maybe too late for the trend, but maybe some WPRB-branded PPE would be a good thank you gift for the next fundraiser.

As a fellow whimsical scientist, i'll also be rocking one earbud to this set as i keep going about my day. Rock on Mike!

Though an idea currently gathering steam is for a pair of WPRBooty shorts.

Oh, just picked up Prb swag at the PO. Nice purple shirt. 😈

🐛🦋🚑 that cannot be correct

Raul Seixas: this guy is a God in Brazil

And deservedly so.

@Jim, glad your swag arrived. The system (sometimes) works!

Him and Cazuza

PRINCE 👑💜🎸

wendy and lisa got shafted.

APOLLONIA 💖

Purple Nurple Reign

MrM don't forget the Vanity 6

Vanity got strung out on blow, got cleaned up, found Jesus and died of Kidney failure anyway

Yeesh. That's awful.

Are you sure this isn't the Lambrini Girls?

Never! Sad!

@Marcus, definitely some similarities!

This record, however (to my knowledge) doesn't come with a fold-out birthday party hat with the c-word printed on it. (As the Lambrini Girls record did.)

C U Next Tuesday!

MrM That's what I said last week!

It's also the movie in "American Werewolf in London" where he sees his victims

That’s right! Ahaha! Happy Birthday!

MrM you mean she bearded DLR

Oh boyyyyyeeeeee

c.f. MJ and Lisa Marie Presley

I mean Brooke Shields

both of threm

I think these are unfounded allegations and we should move on

I’m deleting a bunch of this hawt messsss

The York Motel Rt 3 outside the Lincoln Tunnel and Beautiful My. Airy Lodge

La Peste: Albert Camus

Hi and bye

Rob doing his Patterson-Gimlin film impression

🫈👋

Hahaha!

Great show Mike, I'm Audi 5000!

Peas Audi!

Leaving the room to this Gary Numan song is a pretty gangster move, Marcus.

People will be talking about you all week.

GARY NUMAN 🤎

Oh so three hours of Bangers and Bops and Jams. I understand now. I get what you’re doing here @DJ•MikeLupica #FunTimes

Mr Malcontent, you UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT.

📋📊📉🧮📈🤓

Malcontents are Beautiful 💀

HERE. WE. GO.

I’m BathBoy 🧼☠️🫧

So DIRTY 🏴‍☠️

There's one!

Stone warm to hot jam.

Heard the damned!

This is like a WPRB seance. "Is Selecta Jerry in the room with you right now?"

Lmao it does sound like Jerry is about to hit that between-songs wah wah effect

Is it filthy? Both are accurate.

Bath Boy 🛀🏻🔥🔥🔥

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Summoned you!

DJ SelectaJerry❣️❣️❣️

I’m your bath boy dammmit 🤣

selecta jerry!

Celebrity DJ sighting.

rewind: Jason Lee was not quite in the Jay and Silent Bob universe in 1993. But he was soon to join the force.... at the mall

Mallrats?

BAAATH BOY (ha, I'm never on here but I had to come in to say this). I think I'm the only person in suburban Maryland with a copy of this record on my phone

bath boy reminds me of jim e. brown.

Lisa, please run for governor. I will move to D just to vote for you based upon that fact alone.

move to *MD

Big ups to all the wprb massive! ✌🏼

I have digital album. Need it on CD and VINYL! LFG!

Gaah I just voted for someone else for governor so I can't do it

what's up dj mike!

I also have this on my phone so there may be many others

I wonder if the members of Spiritual Mafia have any idea how important this song is to the WPRB community.

Please play this again next week!!

A song that got us through the long dark of lockdown. A song that ends wars. A song that would never turn your reflecting pool green.

SPIRITUAL MAFIA ❤️❤️❤️

Elf Boy - the JS Marathon parody song of 2021 that never wuz. Missed oppo

Ha!

Well done, DJ MikeLupica! Entire show! Many thanks and kind regards to you, Sir!

My Derrière is approving what ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ just said.

Eerrrrrr Uuuhhhhhh

cunning stunts - ha ha!!

Great show Mike L. Finally remembered you are TUESDAY. Keep shattering the algos

What was my name scribbled on?? Fiber biscuits??

sick set mike!

Thanks for the freeformage mike!

See yas!

Thanks, BCNU!

Quote about the new Sleep song with no Matt Pike on board from an online forum. I like this take: "I actually like the new tune. It sounds like glossy refined cocaine Iommi ala Technical Ecstasy/Never Say Die era instead of dirty couch cocaine Sabbath from earlier days."
