Total Tobias

Aug 18, 2026 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Music

Total Tobias is mostly newish indie rock in many of its’ forms while genre hopping, decade hopping and language hopping sometimes all in one song

Happy to be subbing today.

The first set will be a bit jammier than my usual fair and that’s a good thing.

Third set hassome wonky sax by Total Tobias standards.

Hello all global masses

Hello Total! Am I hearing Fran's voice doing your intro?

Yes, Fran was kind enough to make a few for me.

I subscribe to her YouTube channel, so I know the voice!

thumbs up emoji

Another Total Tobias ahow!

ah the mighty Shjips

Hello all!! @Mats Sabbath -- I must apologize to you. I just found my RPM ticket a home with none other than our own Captain Ahab! Sort of "...and speaking of Shjips... "

Yes, they are mighty and yes it's another show.

Teresa PERFECT! The good Captain. Excellent!

@Mats -- Oh I'm so glad you're not too disappointed! So now our Capt. and her crew -- Dr. Husband Ahab and Baby/Toddler Ahab (who gets to go gratis). 🙂

...have heavy music campout plans for the Labor Day weekend! (I realized I didn't finish that sentence)

now that makes sentence

So great to have several doses of Total Tobias this week -- really any week!

let all the slobberings of matty begin

Teresa, I hope Baby Captain has a battlejacket like mom!

Always the perfect baby accessory!

I remember when L&R's video for this aired for the first time on MTV!

Good afternoon everyone

Hi Rob

rip matty 3:33

That Panic Shack song makes me even more sad I'll be out of the area K Bridge Park show.

That's sad. They have other dates, but nowhere near here.

We liked your show this afternoon, John! Feel/sound better, and hopefully we can catch you on Thursday.

Thanks for the great show!

@ John Tobias (host) Great show, as always. Special thanks for the Rolling Stones' "Off the Hook." It's super interesting and plain fun to hear early examples of Jagger-Richards hitting their stride as songwriters,

Thanks all
