Good morning humans, as well as other superior life forms.

Greetings!

Questionning my life form.

a fine morning to one and all. well, most anyway.

Hi DJ Mike and *

Also inferior life forms.

...*PRB Ears!

Yo pitcrew. As if that break didn't make it obvious enough, I am somewhat over caffeinated today.

Can't believe my ears are up at this hour.

Coffee in the ear perhaps...

Enema for your brain?

What has ears and cannot hear?

a grecian urn. but how much does a grecian urn?

Goes with the colonoscopy last week. All good.

I dare not ponder #6.

Ear of corn.

Riddle is as old as the hills.

That pops

What has eyes and cannot see?

I can name names

A moldy tater.

Hey Mike and crew!

Howdy Alex!

Going hard on the GMO's #6. :)

BTW, good morning early birds.

Lookout worms, here we come.

Good morning fellow whimsical void screamers

this is pretty delicious.

Hey Pengy. You only missed a little bit of screaming.

They are selling brain worms up in Kensington I hear.

I also want you all to know that I washed this Smiking 007 45 in the Barge sink with (with dish soap) aboiut 10 minutes before showtime. Picked up in a dollar bin recently and it was pretty grimy.

*Smoking

Preservation is an art

Clean cuts are the best.

BactineCore

I can hear some bubbles...

Smokin' O.P.'s.

@Yvang RINSE AGAIN

Add sucrose to your paraformaldehyde for better preservation of tissue structure. This is a message from your local pathology department.

is there nothing dawn can't clean?

@Alex, you know my brand!

I feel so seen right now.

Isis! PRllels to my life story.

Listening to this, we are all seen me thinks...

Good morning everyone

Hey Rob, welcome!

the drummer is moving this along quite nicely.

Mike, after this song is finished, maybe you could play "One More Cup Of Coffee" from the same album ;-)

Two For Tuesday!

Well that segue sucked rocks.

Or maybe you could just spend some time in Mozambique? The sunny skies are aqua blue if I remember correctly

Uh oh. Executivespeak

I'll fire someone later.

driving wheel? tom rush?

"It's good to be the king!" -Mel Brooks

"Run over by a fleet of delivery vehicles" is now a part of my vernacular. Thank you.

Met one girlfriend at a tradeshow. I was dispensing beer, she represnting a zoo. I invited her to watch the show, with beer in hand. So she grabbed a falcon and with beer in hand and falcon on arm we watched an Elvis impersonator. True story.

artisans make tie dyed tee shirts and whimsical birdhouses.

One too many beer in hand. Story of my life.

@Alex, I swear I know lots of unintentional Elvis impersonators.

And a few intentional...

Artists play the guitars artisans have made.

@roffle. Mutton chops are comi g back round

Got some in my freezer Alex. Waiting for our time.

Sup Mike, it was a pleasure getting to meet you Saturday!

Likewise, Tyler!

The sunburn was definitely not the best part.

Loving this!

That was great!

Weird horn solo makes it!

Good morning, Mike and all. That Simply Saucer song reminded me of Shirese from Connecticut. It was exactly what I wanted to hear this morning, too

Yes, very much appreciate what a sax solo can do for a dour post punk jam. Missed opportunity for Joy Division.

Right on @fr1day. I don't laye claim to much in this life, but I remain very proud to have booked the very first Simply Saucer show in these here United States. (This was a long time ago.)

"Laye" = the olde english spelling of "lay".

Laye O' the land is the Irish spelling I think.

LOL

Here comes that crow recently added to same playlist as the donkey doesnt listen.

"Joyous" isn't a word I use often, and something about using it to describe music that isn't black southern gospel feels wrong, but that Leenalchi record is pretty damn joyous.

Yeah, I cant describe what box Leenalchi ticks in my brain. But it somehow always feels right.

Have you ever been to a southern Gospel church? A friend of mine used to ask me to go when I lived in Texas, but I was to dopey because I don't generally approve of church antics.

There are black towns in Texas. It's crazy down there.

Alas, no, but would happily go.

That is now my position as well.

Love this song

Tagging out for a cage match with an intractable problem. Thanks Mike, peace be upon you.

@Pengy, Exum or Mallory Hawk?

See ya Alex!

@Roffle.. I do not approve of church antics myself, but I would request a front row pew to a service where the members grab snakes.. i would be cheering for the snakes

That was fucking great! I want more of that band!

That Mallory Hawk was very cool too

Need to find that interview

Damn Carlos, no way I want a front row snake whatever. lol

Gorgeous morning to you, sir; y'all.

How do, Jim. Indeed, the sun is shining brilliantly upon the Barge this morning.

Here you are, again, reminding me to check out this Panda Bear/Sonic Boom album

I've still only dipped into it, but I like what I've heard. And that's coming from someone who never really got into Animal Collective.

Here's a song for our times.

Agreed

Same, Mike.

You're closer than you can know. We are the animal collective.

Preaching to the choir

Being as subjective as I am that is.

I love it! I am sure that is why I am here and staying for the after party.

At the Yart sale, I got a zine about The Art of Talking Sh*t.

An invaluable tool for the modern age.

Step 3 is, "Add confidence or caffeine".

I just want to go to yard sales and find $50 guitar that were forgotten in a closet. 40 years ago.

Fuck my grammer, you get it.

Roffle, it's early, this is a sympathetic space.

I'm impressed I was able to dive for the dump button when that Kids song dropped an F-bomb I'd forgotten all about.

Thanks for such kindness.

NSFR.

Too much light in the sky for the FCC.

Lmfao

Took me a second to realize

Yeah -- kind of amazing, right?

that was amazing

Pass the dutchie

Ha, the inside of the zine has a Certificate of Sh*t Talking, so I am now a Master of Shit.

I had my cassette collection in a storage locker in Texas for over ten years. My stupidity spans years at this point.

Not shit, I mean sh*t. :)

Clutch Dutch?

Love it. :)

Thou mayist playis playlist backward anytime in my book of cool. But you do you , I'm just a witness. :)

That Peter Sellers tune made me think of "Be My Girl Sally" by The Police.

@Roffle, consider yourself spared because I was half tempted to stop the Bobby Gentry song (again) to lick the headshell contacts, since it seems like we were only getting it in one channel. My good taste prevailed and I instead just swabbed the contacts with rubbing alcohol. Let's see what happens in the next set.

@#6..not that it comes up very often but i consider that my fave police song

A true man of the people! LOL

@Carlos- yup!

Your efforts are appreciated.

@Mike that Exum song hit so nicely on my drive to work; the whole set has. But now i'm comfy with my earbuds in ready to enjoy the next hour

Glad to hear it, Pengy. I shall endeavor not to screw this up.

#6..if i remember correctly..buried on the second side of the first album

I could play that song sometime, but I'm not sure, maybe NSFR?

Outlandos D'Amour, first album.

I love Beth Orton!

Yeah, she's rad. I haven't kept up with her records, but I really loved everything on that "Other Side of Daybreak" album from 20ish years ago. Roots Manuva, Four Tet -- I have catchup work to do.

Did not see that one coming over the horizon either. Thanks for sharing. Love being here. You guys are great with stuff. You sus the stuff I simply have no time for.

Sus 'R Us!

I enjoyed re sus in school. Let'er rip!

Re sus monkey.

Sus pend reality. Go to a show. Now here we are. :)

Monkey business...

Good morning, y'all. I'm unusually awake at this ungodly hour.

Donutage! Good to see ya here. It's just like old times, but the drinks are different.

@donutage, I feel ya

The after starlight lounge is open.

After after Starlite Lounge. It's like an all night diner that only serves oatmeal.

Dang, I missed out on the Billy Squier!

My very first concert was Def Leppard opening for Billy Squier at the Philadelphia Spectrum

I now believe I may make some oatmeal to go with.

I have butter. Life is good.

@Donutage, that is a good bill!

Great tunes for a great Tuesday morning

Word to that, Bibim! Thanks for listening.

Second errant sax solo of the morning.

Gotta watch out, those can become invasive

Turn it into a morning drinking game: have another double espresso every time I play something with a bad sax solo.

Great set! College radio is where it's at, and wprb is at the top of that list!

I'm just doubling down on green tea.

A few songs by FLIPPER with sax solos

Right on, Sam. And we're not even a college radio station! (We are college adjacent, but not college-run or college-owned.)

Princeton is my safe zone. They have no idea the asset loss at the university. Not as smart as they say they are.

Onw of a zillion reasons that we are preparing to strike out on our own: https://wprb.com/wprb-in-search-of-our-new-home/

Yes! Thx for the Sonny, Mike - more hooks 🪝 than…because happy times

I get it.

Right on, Readie! Did you go to summer camp at Drug Lake?

Drug Lake? That is just way too funny.

We’ll have to wait for the memoir😉

Better that than a Netflix series. Mine would be an ABC After School special.

😄

Hi Readie! Publishers dauttle.

lol Roff

Plumbers are your friend.

Re: Steve Wynn, I know him mostly from The Baseball Project. I should probably do a dive into his earlier stuff

@Donutage, definitely check the first couple Dream Syndicate albums, they are modern LA noir psychedelic godhead.

And by "modern", I mean 1980s of course.

Just remembered the name of my summer camp in the Poconos- Stony Acres - I kid thee not

skunk! right on!

@Andew! I''m a huge Skunk fan -- glad someone else remembers them

they helped me come out of my dumb hardcore kid shell and expand my musical horizons in like 89 or 90

#same

as did barbara manning/world of pooh!

Thanks for a lot of songs that I never heard before, BCNU!

Thanks for playing "Cure for Pain", I could use some morphine as I am experiencing the start of a menacing toothache.

Great show!

Going back to bed. Science says so. Thanks for this mornings stuff Mike. Vrey, very good.

And thanks for that whole show of course!

Thanks pitcrew!

This was a fun morning treat. Take care Mike & Pit Crew.

thanks mike et al!
