Good morning, Mike, and congratulations on your new role!!

Cheers Rob, and thank you!

Ignition sequence start.

Congratulations Mike!

Welcome all, and thanks Alex!

morning. that last robo tune was pretty dang fine. and huzzah on your new position of station grand poobah.

Thanks Dale. In a grotesque display of my newly-acquired and unchecked power, I have posted a bitchy sign in the studio about not touching the thermostat.

baby steps....

I agree with Dale re that last robo tune

Ok, Tuesday morning grocery run. Bye for now

@Rob, @Dale: The Lucifer Rising soundtrack (and film) is one of my most favorite things ever.

@Rob, don't forget the silken tofu, Crisco, and rat traps.

@ mike given you newfound loftiness, will you now be upgrading tge Starlite lounge and franchising it? DJ Mikelupicuddies perhaps?

Ha! I wish... I the Starlite Lounge equipment has actually been dispersed to a variety of other PRB jocks. It lives on in quiet anonymity.

mike, i never heard of it. having a prison band and recorded in the slammer makes it worth a dive.

Oh yeah, that Wikipedia page is a worthy read.

Hello, DJ MikeLupica! Big cheers on your Promotion and Appointment!

Thank you, MrM

Hi!

Hey Yvang, how's the temps?

We've got three days of 100F+ degrees on deck

Way cooler, I've heard parts of USA will experience soon what Europe just experienced.

Yep, Everybody hold onto your icepacks.

I'll be riding a steam train for the next few days, luckily I'll be in one of the few AC cars.

Hello Mike! congrats on the new role!

A similar heatwave is announced to be back in about a week.

Band Name‼️

Thank you Marcus

So you are Ken Freedman now?

Oh yeah. Double shifting today against the possibimlity of septa being disabled by the heat. There is precedent.

@Yvang, that made me spit out my coffee.

Ooops sorry! And congrats!

The record just skipped because I banged my head on the console table while retrieving someone's keys from behind the turntable.

reading on about beausoleil, didn't see the manson association on the film's wiki. bonkers!

I did notice the skip, and was pleased to know an actual record was being played!

@Michael, we play LOTSA vinyl here.

nice country cover!

California?? Never heard of it.

So pleased you're back on for the summer, Tuesday morning is now appointment radio

Asshole sun!

Asshole sun, won't you come, and wash away the rain

Very nice of you to say, Michael. Thanks!

Coffee is a laxative. Half informed speculation on my part - the mechanism involves floodibg the large intestine, thus causing thirst from the water imbalance. Medical persons may know better. But this would qualify for a podcast post.

Thanks for the PSA, Alex!

Behold the magic of the internet. Speculation to truth in less than one minute.

Hahahaa!

DJ may be concussed. Don’t nap or go swimming for 100 hours.

I'm drinking a seltzer with my other hand and feel better already.

gotta run outside and unload a bunch of firewood from my truck while it's cool. hopefully i'll be back for the third half of the show.

No spicy foods, either

Good luck, Dale. Bring water.

PERE UBU 🤎

"There is no Houlihan's located directly inside the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan.If you are looking for the closest or most accessible location, the Secaucus, New Jersey Houlihan's is just a short bus ride away from the Port Authority."

This has been a public service announcement from me.

ChatPSA is incredible

LOL

Digging the Coleen Green.

I always take the HighRoad. And not, just because, I’m HIGH.

MESSER CHUPS❣️

Sounds like something i heard years ago...some magical formula. Big fish little fish?

ProgPushers‼️

I’m always pushing that prog

Ha! 💟

THIS

WPRB Potato Gun would be a great membership drive gift

Ahaha

THE SMITHS 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

I remember hearing tell of a potato cannon (which would shoot whole potatoes instead of just a little nub), but cannot confirm if this was a real thing or just some awesome dream I had.

‘Hand In Glove’ 🖤 a 45 🖤⁉️ Awesome❣️

Gifted to me by an uber WPRB listener

#CatchWithMouth?! #PotatoCannon 🥔🤑

What’s on the flip?!?

Live version of "Handsome Devil"

Good morning..I need a futbol game on soon so I know when to hydrate

I hear that, Carlos.

Nice! 😈

Thanks Mike! Time to earn my pay. Later all.

See ya, Alex.

Thing that was definitely not on my 2026 bingo card: new record by Some Velvet Sidewalk.

Though in fairness, I don't think anyone is really crushin' it with the 2026 predictions.

MrM predicts more Immaculate Vibes from WPRB

Good morning, everyone. Killer "2nd band set."

Second band is selling t-shirts and copies of their demo in the back of the club.

Every time I hear the words "crocodile tears" I think of Dan Melchior. And now I can't think of what song(s) he uses that line

Melchior has a pretty athletic release schedule, so you're work is cut out for you.

Speaking of buying a suit... I'm getting married later this year. Where in Philly does a fella buy a new suit for his wedding? Suggestions welcome.

Damn DJ!?! Where’d you find this?!?

Snatch? Super great record! Its out there in the wild -- look for it!

Treat yourself to a beautiful suit @fr1dayafternoon! Congratulations Fella!

Thanks, Mr. M. Pretty exciting for sure

That sort of ephemera is exactly what I hope to find in any record I buy

Yes, no suit recs for the Philly area, but congrats on getting hitched!

When I got married, my Hugo Boss suit was financed with the sale of a bunch of old punk records.

There's that other Joey K drum intro with a slightly different beat here and there

Looks like Steven T is rocking a russet in his pants on the cover

Oh and speaking of things being stuck to records, I've got a story about this Aerosmith LP in the next break. SOMEONE REMIND ME OR ELSE I MIGHT FORGET.

@Carlos, LOL, I can't unsee that now

"Rocking a Russet" -- a phrase that will haunt my imagination for eternity.

Way before Spinal Tap too

#JamAlert

#HereWeGoYo!#

Great Selections! @HeadlinerDJ•MikeLupica!

This song is so fun. 14th Street summer jam for sure.

And by that, I mean: a perfect song to get doored by a taxi to while biking up 14th Street

Whoa 😳

I HOPE YOU ARE ALL PROUD OF ME FOR THE FIVE MINUTES IT TOOK ME TO MAKE A CLEAN VERSION OF THIS SONG FOR YOU

14th Street? Never heard of it

Worth It! 🏆 this Bop is a Banger❣️

Sorry, my New York ass is showing.

We may have different streets but it sounds like we have the same motorists

Aye. The struggle is real.

Whaddap guys, gals, and other pals.

Mike, this is your Aerosmith LP story reminder

Gather ‘round erybody… AEROSMITH StoryTime! ⚠️⛔️‼️

HaHa w/fr1dayafternoon!

We're on the same level this morning, Mr. M

Hot town summer in the city, getting gritty, and all that jazz

Tough to find that tipping point when sip of beer is…warm

It wasn't Bud-Lite-Ice-Dry eh?

Yessss!! Nosebleed Weekend & Watch Your Back!!!!!

Beer labels stuck to an Aersomith album? Sounds so appropriate it can't be real

Genny cream..first beer stolen from parents and still in regular rotation in my fridge

Hugo Boss…Norstrom’s?

I actually bought my suit at Saks 5th Ave! Had the credit card (which I never used again) and everything.

Coathangers is probably the best Ortliebs show I've seen to date

No trouble believing that. They're awesome.

Sounds romantic

TIME TO STAND UP AND THROW SOMETHING

Dan, adding to those to the list, which is only Men's Wearhouse, at this point.

Smack Dab!

I threw my back out twerkin to that. And THIS!!

Well done, MrM. You get a gold star!

I thought they were storing men

IKE & TINA TURNER ♥️♥️♥️

Good morning all! Oh please tell me that Dead Moon has covered 'Nutbush City Limits'!

Would pay good money to hear that, Teresa!

YES

Wow, I really need a fresh copy of this 45 -- sounds like someone drove over it with a truck,

Feelin GOOD?! @TeresaPeacock!? Hope so!! 💗

Ashley Peacock lives near me. The Campers cover this nicely with violin. Key Lime Pie album I think.

READIE HAS ENTERED THE CHAT

Chopping fruit in the kitchen and this is perfect accompaniment

Bout time

Gimme guitar

DJ ReadieRighteous❣️ Cheers❣️

Safety first, cutting glove left hand

Cheers MrM!

One hit wonder?

Very much so, Dan.

Hey Dan- cutting glove?!?

I was college prep cook, knife won’t cur it. A must!

I have those. It's like chain mail for your hand so you don't cut your fingers off.

Curling fingies at 2nd knuckle

Cut it

A must for guitarists…fingers

Fartzy synth time!

You know it! Last week's Gary Numan track came and went without anyone taking note. For shame, pitcrew!

comp of severely deconstructed "Louie Louie" covers 💖

Didn’t Congress deem Louie Louie obscene, or try to? Dorks

Congress loved the Fish Cheer however

👻💨

@Dan..condemn what you don’t understand

Folding fitted sheets

Yes, there was an FBI investigation into the lyrics of Louie Louie.

“I felt my phone, high in her hair” shocking!

ZUT ALORS!!

Fetch me some pearls, so that I might clutch them.

Note to self: don’t comment on this album cover

It’s THAT good

🙊 whoopsie

I love this radio station so much. 100% undiluted locally sourced chaos

LOL MrM. That is so on-brand for Marie Klock

back for the thrilling conclusion of the program. staying in the rest of the day.

Right on, Pengy!

Wise decision, Dale.

The grass won’t cut itself unfortunately

1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣4️⃣⁉️ Totally Tubular❣️

the spotted lantern fly nymphs are in abundance around my house.

Halfway through the Orwell novel now.

I can't helpbut sharing this https://plyric.com/marie-klock-boule-et-bill-english-translation?__cf_chl_f_tk=88Sm_DqtjRLux1ZxZukD_0CNhHyvG1qx9kaxLykocbs-1782825909-1.0.1.1-ZVWPh7Z51jY_52TeLcBXCpvmAbyc6aRhO3FiZgOkfHw

Hydrate the mouse on the wheel

Shwetty balls…sorry

NYC 25 cent first pay toilet, this day in history

Sounds like a student project to put a hose into the cap to let it self drain.:)

Nice! Bone a fied

Seems like put it on a riser of sorts and drain it into bucket. Carry bucket to turlit??

Yvang, what did I read?! Why you do that to us!?

Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine

Acetaminophen! 💊💊💊

Amazing. Why isn't this a national holiday.

Burdock’s Blood Bitters claimed to cure everything, like Geritol.

aphrodite's child NEVER disappoints me.

Try to find a porta pottie anywhere on the national mall…dare ya.

@Dale, I love that after almost four sides of totally bonkers pagan/drug/psych, they finish off with the best song the Beatles never wrote.

could john or paul write the four horsemen? i think not.

True dat.

ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ•💀 I have to admit it's not a great translation. For example PQ stands for TP (Toilet Paper). And Monop is the typical grocery store in Paris (Monoprix).

This is great! I’d only heard Stiffs Live! version.

Yes! It's extra sleazy sounding.

🎭 @Yvang!

Now I want to hear studio version of I’m A Police Car.

young and snotty

Syd! We miss you terribly

I've heard a different version. This one is musically paying homage to early Pink Floyd.

Song about Syd Barrett?! In this economy?! 🥵

Yvang, there's a more psych-folky version. Also a great cover of it by an Italian band called SixtyNine and the Continuous People which might be my favorite version ever.

SixtyNine and the Continuous People is already a great name for a band!

This here's the ULTIMATE heat wave record.

The one not left melted in the car.

Love Carsie !!❤️❤️🌟

Same. One to keep close to your heart for the upcoming holiday.

Thanks for the start to the day…let’s go SWEDEN !!!

Okay, back to reality, BCNU!

Yes💥

Thanks Mike!

Many thanks and kind regards to you, DJ MikeLupica!

Ciao, bellas!

👏🏻

Toodles! Great set!

thanks, man!!
