Tomorrow is an Octopus Fri Aug 14 with Dan Ruccia on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Good morning!

Talking over a Stooges riff = gauntlet THROWN.

Love that Beefheart song. And great background music! New WD album in October.

I appreciate the connection over the airwaves 💖

@Mats Frequency modulation couch elevation initiated. (Though my Columbus, Ohio-raised self thinks those couches should also be on fire)

have a great show.

I know I keep saying this, but the Death Valley Girls totally KILLED IT opening for Man Man in Philly last month.

@Stitching Pink Thanks for queuing it up! And for the great radio this morning!

@Mike I hope to see them at some point...

A worthy evening in a dirty rock club t'would be!

good toe tapping...hey now.

Saw these folks play maybe a year ago. Tatiana Hargreaves is a meeeeaaaaan fiddler!

Audio is back!

Whew

Also, hey! Cleaning is complete, finally ready to settle for the day

Woohoo!

it was like 10 seconds

When that Costanzo track came on I thought "I never heard this Klaus Nomi alternate take!"

@Fran He talks about it as an imagined Klaus Nomi alternate take!

ah the mighty Chat Pile

Super psyched for the new one! Looks like it drops in full on 9/4!!

Flow my tears, the policeman said

https://chatpile.bandcamp.com/album/who-loves-the-sun

Chat Pile in Sept, Water Damage in Oct, now that is a good spooky season

Repent Harlquin, said the Ticktock Man

Zach Lol

Water Damage show in Oct or the new LP?

new LP, with a Stooges cover!

the good dj's backing music at mic break

Hell yeah

makes me happy to see oddball bands like Chat Pile and Water Damage find success

riding the tangine poutine wave to success

and gives me hope when the listening public can handle intelligent dark musics

Speaking of which, Horse Lords tour this fall!!!!!!!!!

Zach haaaaa! good ol' Angine de Poutine

weird political tymes make for good music

Yeah queer youts!

Damn, just got off a long catchup phone call with a WPRB DJ who's presently hiking the Appalachian Trail and see I missed a buncha good stuff.

https://youtu.be/X7Y6bM5B5lQ?is=j1YjRXUDXTw4_KPf Chat Pile do Bulls On Parade. No setlist, just yell what you wanna hear.

Hello Cephalopods of the 'Morrow! @Mats Sabbath -- I've been meaning to reach out to you to inquire whether you'd be interested in a ticket to all 3 days of the 2026 RPM Fest happening over Labor Day Weekend in the usually peaceful hamlet of Montague, MA? I wanted to attend but can't risk it due to my illness and injury of late.

Teresa very kind of you. I haven't been to a show in forever. Montague, Mass! Lemmy get back to ya if that's ok.

I have to consult with my old buddy in Massachusetts and it is like herding cats with him.

@Mike What are the odds of a WPRB show from the Appalachian Trail????

Lol Zach

wprb show from the AT would be rad!

Absolutely! I put out feelers on the FB/Meta and ... crickets. But Monolord, High On Fire, Dopethrone, Whores, and Dwarves are headlining. My jaw dropped when I saw the poster for the event last month when I was visiting Greenfield!

@Teresa Daaaaaaaaamn, that looks like a festival

Right?!! It was going to be my 60th birthday present to myself and I was heavily invested in going but I just can't risk having a Fibromyalgia and/or broken clavicle setback.

Here is the Fest info.: https://www.rpmfest.org/

Teresa holy guacamole! I guess High On Fire found a new drummer. They have trouble keeping that slot filled LOL. The Dwarves are total nuts.

Hope you feel better Teresa. Happy healing.

Helluva lineup at that fest! Wow

@Mats -- Thank you🧡 Yeah, it looks so fun!! And I've emailed back and forth with the organizer -- I just have to redesignate the ticket, replacing my name and email address with that of the recipient. I have up to the day the Fest begins to make the transfer so there's still some time.

You are very on the ball, Teresa! I had trouble making microwave mac n cheese recently cuz my brain is battered from hard livin' and the punk rock. Lol. But again, nice of you to think of me. Great community via wprb. :)

Hooray for WPRB community connections!

Yeah verily! I don't know what I'd do or how I'd go on without them WPRBCCs!

This track feels like if Black Saint and the Sinner Lady was evil

very much digging hotel overture...losing my mind a little in a good way

Thanks Dan

Thanks for tuning in, y'all!

thanks dj!
