Circuits Tue Jul 28 with Mike Lupica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Hello, humans.

Don't treat that like a threat.

Greetings!

Salutations!

interesting version of cut the cake?

Hello!

morning.

Smells like radio.

Good morning Mike and all!

Morning all!

@Yvang it does indeed. Which oddly enough, smells like vegetarian sausage.

Good morning, Tuesday Pitcrew.

@Dale, I thought it was "Pick Up The Pieces" not "Cut The Cake"?

need some of that lumi - for pits, privates and beyond.

dug the picj up the pieces. Todays wirkplace theme

rob, you are correcter than i was...just not 100% alive in my brain yet.

@Rob, @Dale: I made that loop 20+ years ago (when great audio editing software was abundant), and indeed I believe it is AWB's "Pick Up the Pieces"

* keyboard skills sufferibg from train tossing. Please infer.

@Dale, no worries, it took me a while to figure it out. @Mike, it is a cool loop

Alex, delighted that you listen while commuting by train.

So which is worse, dreaming that the world blew up, or having your pipes blow up?

@Number 6, yes

Agree

Digging the blues.

Both bad, but in different space/time continuum realities.:(

Jonathan Kane's version of it swings with downtown NYC avant flair.

@Alex, watch the video for this song later. It's hypnotic and awesome.

Head nodding like a schizophrenic on meds now

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Homer is in the air

Still haven't seen the new movie. Not entirely sure if I want to?

was this used in the odyssey?

mike - if it doesn't have ray harryhausen effects it's crap.

@ Dale 100%

Amazing the weird names that people can come up with for groups.

The variety of experience.

True, dat.

Animal Piss, It's Everywhere and Stan Clear and the Closing Doors, they've put the bar high.

@Yvang, those are two great recent examples for sure!

I always liked Home Lobotomy Kit and Sexy Leper.

I have devoted whole shows to weird name groups.

Those are all great band names!

Love my tuesday morning void scream 😎

Nano bots can clog diverter pins in case you tube didnt cover this

How about a yurt sale?

mike, you make my morning, thanks

@LOL Alex

Thanks Gary, glad you are here!

@Pengy, you can set your watch to it.

All it takes is listening to the Fastbacks for the first time in years to remind myself how much I love the Fastbacks.

Good morning everyone. I'm digging this Nina Winder-Lind

Hey fr1dayafternoon, she's from the New Eves -- who are also great!

Maybe it was the sound of her piano but kind of reminded me of Lael Neale

Kalt! Theres my mood music.

This Kælan Mikla has a lot of horsepower!

I was so convinced today is Wednesday that I had to check the schedule to see why Marvin isn’t on. It’s Tuesday. Good Morning Mike 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sounds like the Boomer Bible, or something.:)

gabriel....cq....cq.

good morning 🙏

It's hard to imagine being so passionate about a single job that one can be nominated as the patron saint of it.

I type that from my desk, earning my pay.

Yeah, is there an application process I can get in on?

Hello @Zach and @Ears

Alright kids, I gotta run. Mike, as always it has been great to hear your show. Especially the Fastbacks!!

Right on, thanks Rob. Have an excellent day!

did he rhyme diarrhea and chick corea?

Otoh I hadn't completely left, saw this New York Gong on the playlist, so here I am

@Dale, of course he did

There's no application. But having a strong network of connections to god on LinkedIn helps, but isn't recommended.

The skeeters are out in force this morning, in the 2 min. it took to set out the trash, I got bit several times.

@rob - poetry!

@Dale, heck yeah!

@Dale, he did indeed. Daevid Allen was a hip-hop prophet.

Ok, bye for real. Chau for now

@fr1day, LinkedIn is some bullshit. I can't stand the self-aggrandizing nature of social media, but LinkedIn takes that to whole 'nother level.

@mike - i wonder what he could do with jean luc ponty.

Great update of the Gil Scott Heron classic!

Okay, sorry about that.

100 percent. It's my only social media at the moment bc I desperately need a new job. Look at the job listings, get off app.

@Dave, indeed. I was skeptical, but if anyone has the right to do it, it's (GSH collaborator) Brian Jackson.

"The revolution will not have a discount code in your junk email." I think I'm going to tattoo that on my hands to help stop me from online shopping.

Hahaha

I don't have any tattoos.

YET.

I don't use Amazon. But many record stores are in business bc of my internet access.

Well done!

Been meaning to look up that Panda Bear / Sonic Boom album... and now I will

That Sonic Boom story rules. How recent was the interview?

This was late 80s I think?

I heard Sonic Boom and Panda Bear DJing on one of those dorky satellite radio channels -- both sounded very wooden/out of sorts. Haven't listened to all of the new record yet, but I admit that's where I first learned of it.

Good morning.. I recently bought a new car and got three months of dorky satellite channels for free. even on the very few channels that I listen to it’s the same songs over and over again. In less than two weeks into the service, they were already hitting me up for an extension

Apparently it was released this month. Thought it was a few months ago. Must've just been an announcement i saw.

Carlos, I think that's their whole business model.

Regardless of WPRB's 80s interview or satellite radio today, I dont imagine Sonic Boom being a great interviewee. Aside from his trash can moment, of course

My wife has it in her car -- I like the 40s Junction station because that music was all my parents listened to when I was growing up.

@fr1day, considering his famously athletic appetite for the heroin, I am always amazed by how healthy he looks.

When I rent cars equipped with satellite radio I find a miserably unlistenable station and set it to all the presets. Good luck to the next patron.

Good work

30ish years ago, a pair of especially nuts WPRB student DJs would routinely drive out to one of the big box electronics stores on Route 1, set all the display stereos to WPRB, crank the volume, and run out.

Cool!

Krista just told me that Spotify is experiencing a global outage. THIS WILL HAVE ZERO EFFECT ON TODAY'S PROGRAM.

Now that is good work

The revolution will not have a global outage

Send the listeners over here!

All these AI song probably hacked their host

Anyone read Mood Machine by Liz Pelly? Recommended reading if you need any more fuel to throw on your burning hatred of Spotify

°songz

So Big Stick has other songs besides "Crack Attack"?

Yes, **great** book. I've never used Spotify, but that gave me a million reasons not to start.

It'll make you never want to describe anything, especially music, as chill again.

#6, many! This whole record rules.

I should check out his other songs then.

They're a duo! Can't discount Yanna Trance, who has the best stage name ever.

Somewhere I still have "Crack Attack" on cassette.

I like that Mesh album. Though, most Feel It Records releases, I'm not sure why, but I can't figure out.

Smells ripe in here

Also, get off my lawn. Fist, cloud. ✊️☁️

Get to control the music!

That Mesh record is super catchy. Hoping to see them soon.

@Adamgoget, hey don't make fun of the problem with my shower.

Hey Christine!

Sorry mike had to do it

We get old man angst instead of teen spirit today

ELM used to play a 10 minute cover of Deep Purple live..to many people at a punk show this was confusing

Highway star

GM Mike! ☕️ Hello, Tuesday morning Pit Crew!

@Carlos, I endorse this with all my being. Bring back confrontational "Highway Star" covers

I was onboard with it..I had Machine Head in my collection

Mike! I went to siren for the dead milkmen and met listener Carlos!

A totally fine record. I love watching the arc of Ritchie Blackmore's increasing boredom with his work over time. By Rainbow's pop era, he looked practically miserable -- good thing he found out about the RenFaire.

@Tyler, amazing! WPRB CONNEX!

And I met Tyler..he was the best dressed one there

What does it really mean to be the best dressed person at a Dead Milkmen book signing. Cosmically, I mean.

Hahaha the b

Station T shirt

Jon Solomon told me that someone at the Pavement show mentioned going to the book signing thing because they'd heard about it on PRB.

Wazzat You?

Typing with gloves on sorry! The wprb shirt was a hit!

Not me at the pavement show must have been a covert listener there

Heard there were quite a few PRB shirts at the Pavement gig.

Also found it super weird that in 2026, I found out about a Pavement show from a flyer on a telephone pole in Princeton.

"I've lost my cat, meet me at the Pavement show"

😄

@Yvang, wars have been started over less.

i hate people they hate me

Not sure I realized The Gun Club covered CCR...

They do! And handily!

I'll add it to the list (of CCR covers I just started).

Yummy Fur channelling Waiting Room...

Dr Lupica! I knew someone who understands quality was on the decks. Time for Arcwelder?

@Jon, I can almost certainly add to that list!

If Im not saying "what the hell?!" Once per show...

Hey Pete! Don't have any Arcwelder in the bins, but I am thinking *really* hard about them right now so perhaps you can sense that from across the spacetime vortex?

@Alex, good, good. My work here is done.

Now I know when to find you. Good stuff!

🦂♏️

THIS RN AF

Oh shit -- major power outage here. Are we still on the air?

This is a fun rendition! 💕

You're still on the air, yep. Or on streaming. 👍

Streaming AOK, Mike.

I find it rather unprofessionnal of this person at the bank to show disgust at what the client says. But I am not surprised.

Just came back up here. Thank Jah for backup power.

🙏

Any sense of it is the building or the block or...?

radiorethink platform of the future

I can feel the power.

FM 103.3 strong as ever

No idea -- everything shut down for about five seconds, then slowly crept back to life.

Had a major blink-out here, but came back immediately

Woah. As per usual, I blame Wilbo.

Barge Wi-Fi is still out. Probably takes a few minutes for that to come back to life.

Back up now. I'm sure it was the POWER of Mickey Jupp.

Thanks for todays un nameable experience Mike. Always the best kind.

The Circuits are connected. Cheers, Mike for a great show! I have to few more bands to look up this morning.

Cheers Dears! 👋👻, 💟, 🖤💀🩻☠️🏴‍☠️

cute

It's been a powerfull show. My batteries are charged! Thanks Mike!

Another good hang, BCNU!

Another great show, Mike
