Don't Back the Front Fri Jul 17 with Dana K on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Hey!

Mystical greetings!

hello!

I have you on with family and another family down at the Folk School, although I don't know if they're aware of it.

Hello Dana K and everyone!

Hi Richard! Hi Rob!

How is the folk learning going

I finished the thing that started as a fork, lost a tine in the fire and became The Motivator. A poker to get humans out of your way.

Can you spear hot dogs with it

Of course!

Hello Dana K!

Whoa abracadabra...love me some wooo eee ooooh sounds

You sound different.

congrats Dana K!

Yay Dana I'm glad your recovery is going well!

love dogbowl tunage

Yeah, I feel great!

Hi everyone!

Did it make you taller, too?

Yes

I am no longer weighed down by polyps

Outstanding

yay!!!

Dana, that would be an interesting t-shirt logo

No Longer Weighed Down By Polyps?

Due to FCC rules I am not allowed to announce this on the air, but in a month we are having a WPRB DJ NIGHT at RECORDS FOREVER in Philadelphia! (aka my day job) Thursday, August 20th, 4-8pm!

Mike Lupica and Robin will be spinning discs! There will be refreshments!

I get to meet Mike?

Yes! He's just as charming in real life.

Boss Mike?

Big Boss on the ones and twos

2 years ago you played "New Jersey" by Fair Game. This feels like one of those shows

W Mike and Robin!

2026 Sunshine Pop? I'm in there like swimwear

My biggest influence on tonight's show was Broadcast, for what it's worth

I saw orange skies this morning :/

🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍💍

Congratulations to the rabbits on their wedding

This show is already on fire and you sound great

Yayyyy

No wildfire skies in the Smoky Mountains yet.

When are you coming back, Steve?

We're making the 11 hour drive back tomorrow so I can sleep on the couch so the cats can normalize. A cat parent's job is never done.

You'll be back in time to enjoy our toxic atmosphere!

Hey what was that sunshine pop song that got cut off after love?

Twice As Much - The Spinning Wheel

evening dana bash the front, in amidst of the smelly, toxic, distant wildfire haze air

Oh, I LOVE this Broadcast song -- it uses my absolutely favorite chord progression!

Hi Ossy!

Hi Teresa - SO sorry to hear about your collarbone!

Valentine and I are listening! He loves Broadcast and especially their song White Cat

Curiouser and curiouser

Oh thank you, Dana!💚💜🧡

I do miss girlflop with cailyn

Goodnight, everyone. 11 hour drive tomorrow so going to bed.

Safe travels, Steve

Signing in late, been busy not backing the Front

Chris! Welcome!

Thanks! I read the chat about WPRB DJ Night on August 20 to my wife, who thought it was about someone named D.J. Knight. I need to work on enunciating better!

DJ Knight will NOT be in attendance

Glad to know about Hen Ogledd. I _thought_ that sounded like Richard Dawkins

bands ending in wolrd? Jimmy Eat World, Juice WRLD

Third World

Nice!

https://www.minaretrecords.com/artists/outsideworld

There's also The World

Marcus- socksflop cailyn is so one of the coolest best! Much faith sent of her future endeavors, following miss her, music twin!

The Wonderful and Frightening World will be my Fall cover band someday

Oooo Space Lady Susan ✨

The Harlem World rappers

omg only and pus left and i'm only now getting to the chat?!?! howdy everyone

hour plus....

i've been listening but doing stuff that will allow me to function in the world.

The "wandering thumb" is the plot of "Even Cowgirls Get The Blues"

Hi Colin! The chat has been waiting for you

i've been the unintentional naked roomate... :/

that is great that the healing process went well.

I had a ... Rhino? Could have been a Rhino comp that was freaky 60s stuff including "I Had Too Much to Dream" and "Pictures of Matchstick Men" and a bunch more. Very important to my musical growth.

Probably Rhino!

I got it at Costco, which is the only reason I was thinking not Rhino

There are a million 60s comps with those songs on them. The "Nuggets From Nuggets" CD was my first introduction to all that stuff.

But that didn't have Status Quo on it

Yes but this comp was like YOU LIKE THAT FREAKY SHIT?!? DRUGS?? HAVE WE GOT SOME SONGS FOR YOU!

Yoni was that one of those mad lib title A _____ _____ of ____y psych!" ones?

i wash just doing some reading about too much to dream. never knew it was a cover. don't think i ever heard the original. also space lady's story was interesting too.

and hi all

Hi Jim!

🖤🎶

Costco does seem like an unlikely vendor for Arf Arf Records "Lethal Dose of Hard Psych" I guess

Hi Dana, glad you're recovering and feeling better!

Too Much To Dream Last Night was written by Annette Tucker and Nancie Mantz!

https://www.discogs.com/master/1201711-Various-Psychedelic-Pop-12-Spaced-Out-60s-Classics BMG! Which makes more sense as to how I found it at Costco when I was 15 in 1994

i just noticed this is a new song! good stuffs.

100 early 80s cold british isle vibes man

s p a c e d o u t

@Colin, it's actually from the early 00s. I think 2001? But it was just reissued.

I was just telling Jen about this band a few weeks ago

They're soooo goooood

One of the things in my parents stacks we listened to as kids

you can hear their influence in broadcast's music

Absolutely!

love them both

New Order influence suspected

anytime i hear sax, i think about the coming show. Ruccia played a new release song today that had some solid sax.

Oooh I have to figure out what that is

It looks like my WPRBirthday show this year is going to be on 9/11

i just looked at the playlist and about 60% of his show was 2026 songs :/

I'll ask him!

Dana K: Sax to the Future

i have no idea what time it was....

9/11 is my friend zach's birthday.

i need to know. it was a bopper! i shazamed it but no results

I was gonna request some Native Cats a while ago but forgot. I am sure that by now you have the next 25 minutes planned out. Next time!

Next time!

loved the show, thanks Dana K!

Thank YOU, Richard!

We have enjoyed your show, Dana K, tysm. Catch you (hopefully) next week!

Thanks Rob! I'll be here!

The taco percent is a bit low here. Could use extra.

oh this is a good one!

lot of good ones tonight but this is one that I've listened to hundreds of times and have fond memories around

i'm already wondering where i can get a breakfast taco before work tomorrow.

That's so nice! Glad I can trigger some good memories

I want a taco NOW

Especially these lately peace and ambient noises

i'm in the burbs. breakfast taco dessert

I only played two songs from the 80s tonight. I think that's a new record for a non-specialty show.

best possible soundtrack for my ride home from work

hell yeah bingo

neu #1 backing track for post-shift schizofriendic rhythmic rambling

Safe travels home, Dana. Sweet socks dreams away from the hazy unpleasantness atmospheric smells

HELL YEA KEVIN AYERS

Thanks Ossy! I'm actually recording this show in my bedroom so I don't have very far to travel :)

Sleeve

Great show Dana!

Sleeve!

Goodnight everyone!

thanks dana!
