Awake!

Tuned in during YO LA TENGO 🤎 Which was your first selection?

Hello, DJ MikeLupica!

Anything since around 6:20 was me, MrM.

Whatup?

Also, good morning. You know it's bad if I'm drinking tea. And I am drinking tea.

a fine good morning. which is redundant....

gotta get some #TastyTea 🫖 is there one that tastes like coffee?! 🙃😂😭🤑

Top o the morning me droogs!

Good morning all

Say it ain’t so! I love that dead moon floor mat!

Hi Mike and pitcrew!

@Dave, it still exists, but it's in multiple pieces beneath the beveled glass mat.

And good morning to everyone else. Consume your caffeine responsibly.

Folks ought to have treated that with respect

💟

💜

Why is it in pieces??

Elder abuse, MrM.

Curious as to whether you recieved a proper drenching in Philly lasr thursday.

😒

The glass cover was pushed around, by some, without also shifting the mat underneath

Oh. Yikes.

And chair wheels shredded it

Aww no!

@Alex, we got about ten minutes of monsoon weather about 1 hour in, but beyond that it was cool. Twas a great night! More on that later.

Really like this Baby Cool

Show seems to speak of a dreamy summer afternoon thus far. Which there have been lately.

Cool Baby

Yes late summer all over the playlist.

@Amy, they are new to me but seem to have been around for a spell. New album on Greenway Recs (same label as Frankie & the Witch Fingers). From Australia, which is always a win for me.

Definitely feeling the late summer vibes here. Who wants to pig out on Jersey corn and then go shopping for school supplies?

Originally from Brooklyn. So mummer means knishes, nathans fries and spots of tar all over my bod from dipping in the ocean.

*summer.

thought this was loudon.

Alex, it may please you to know that I once stepped on a burning cig on the street at Coney Island and I didn't even feel it because of the thick callouses I'd cultivated by walking around barefoot for years.

@Dale, I hear it

Why ain’t the Mummers in the Summers!?

I would take Mummers all year long.

I see Philly is in the haus.

Never

digging the midding.

@Dale, you never need to twist my arm for psych rock from Cardiff

@ mike and cig firewalk, let jimmy buffet sing about that one.

Oh god, is that a parrothead thing?

More of a dare

Re: Parrotheads, I find myself with a strange and uncontrollable urge to watch episode 11 of the old comedy webseries "Yacht Rock". (Put a pin in that for later, everyone.)

I’m on a boat, muthaF*er 🛥️

Cousin Brucie!

Middle of Night 🖤

stevie wonder, BIG si-TAY dude.

Oh yeah, good one Dale!

Definitely clapping along. Good morning WPRB.

Howdy Pengy!

Can’t get enough of this Womack Sisters!

Hey Readie, yes for sure. Great record!

The Creature 💚🖤💚

Errant soundbytes are nice when played twice.

Played TWICE?! In this economy?!!

LOL

All these Great Records to start the show! Cheers, DJ MikeLupica!

Thanks MrM. Yes, lots of great stuff in the bins today. Something to drown out the horrors of the world for a bit.

The guitar is crazy on this Caetano track!

Mike..I feel the same way about bad company albums

@Carlos, are those also on Swan Song?

Ahg, I'm always missing something important.

@Jim it's a tale as old as time itself.

Yes..original ones were..dint Page form a short lived band with the singer from bad co?

...which I almost typed as "a TOE as old as time itself".

Kinda gotten into the morning shows.

@Carlos, if he did, I have blocked it out of my memory. I should ask my wife, she has that horrible Jimmy Page solo record from '88

Such a banger. I would miss my train for Ouagadougou if I was at that buffet.

Truth, @Yvang. The lore claims they played seven days a week for EIGHT HOURS a day. No wonder they were so good.

HOT TAKE: this Los Bitchos song should be A HIT. Make it so, internet.

I don’t doubt she is, not for one moment

Popping out to deal with equipment in alarm state. Thanks Mike. The show is a "shaft of gold while all around is dark."

@Alex, that sounds vaguely "China Syndrome"-y.

THIS rN Af

Smash Your Head Against the Noise Punk Rock, MrM.

Funny you should mention that... gday all. Duck and cover.

"The shudder, the damn shudder. The vibration I felt during the turbine trip. It bothered me. But it sure didn't bother anyone else."

The unmistakable sound of a dead-string guitar

Exquisite

I had to look that one up, Dan.

Dig that cover art too

Down with the sane hours of the day! The chicken people will rule!

Hahaha, speaking as a chicken person, I resemble that remark.

Love this new (to me) music ML

My new neighbors on the corner have a few chickens

Dirty Harry too!

It is a funny word, truly!

Like corn hole

“Cream corn from the socket of Venus”, can’t top that

If Texas wants to leave I will sign that petition…2 for 1 and take Florida too

Los Beechos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

Here is the Los Bichos

@Brian D lol!

Brian, you have detention for the rest of the year.

I wanted to go to Eastern State Pen after I went to the record shop, but it was closing.

Que up one tubular bell

Cold beer and Indian pizza? Little Sicily 2 on Columbus ave in Philly?

Not sure where it came from, but it was great. And I am perhaps New Jersey's biggest proponent of Indian Pizza (which I first sampled and became hooked on at Zante's in San Francisco 30+ years ago.)

Three, to get reedy

Readie

@BigJarret, that seems pretty far from where I was (Records Forever on Fairmount Ave.), so I think it must've been someplace different.

"Bich" is actually a word in some other languages. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Bich

have u seen Beldar?

I wonder what kind of merch they sell.

LOL

Kool Aid?

Perverts in White Shirts is certainly an odd one.

As I often like to say at times like this, I am available to DJ children's parties, barn dances, and church socials.

How about, "Perverts in White Sheets"?

feelin the needs some jezus wafers

this is oddly a wonderful segue.

And now for some lighter fare.

Behold, Dale: "The Tex Ritter Palate Cleanser"

Father of Jack Tripper.... Down at our rendezvouuuuuuuus..... THREES COMPANY TOOOOO!!!!

I'll have 3 fingers of 2 cents plain.

was hoping he's mention 'petting' in that monologue. heavy petting for extra points.

always a good day for Ivor Cutler

I wish he could narrate my dreams.

Steve makes my day

Positive activism set to euro trance music was not on my bingo card for today but i am so glad this exists

Indeed, Steve saves the world.

I think, such as, such as, some plants don't have maps like, such as all the plants and the Iraq like everywhere such as

Steve, opening up for Perverts in White Shirts, Tex Ritter and Ivor Cutler. Doors at 5... yes 5, a more civilised time.

Surprise RollUp from RICK ASTLEY❣️

Steve voice creation is the best part! John Waters film inspired?

Suzanne Ciani features in Sisters with Transistors, the documentary from 2020 about women pioneers in electronic music. Heard about that one a lot on prb back when it came out.

Interesting

Trans resisters, sorry

What if killing the vibe IS the vibe?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

THE VIBE IS CALLING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE

Raucous

Trailer for Sisters w Transistors:

🌠

Do I hear a metal trash can

@Dan, almost certainly

THIS is how I find out it is Tuesday?!

@Jon, it's either this or going to vote.

Humbucking pickup mount inside lid, clever

Mercy

t-resistor excellent

Spiral Galaxy, not to be confused with Spiral Jetty

Bob Smithson, love his work! Rocks!

nice space rock!

Yeah this is wonderful

Hawkwind - Dungeons and Dragons

GROOVIE GHOULIES 🧡🖤🧡

Totally had the Hawkwind seasoning spice packet thrown in the mix.

Thank god Hawkwind doesn't come in powdered drink form.

I know a kid that swallowed Hawkwind powdered drink form mixed with Pop Rocks and Bubble Yum and he was transported to a system of spider egg planets.

Hahaha

#hero!

DJ Mike! He Likes it!

(DJ pauses to tend to expldig inner organs)

*exploding

Oh tut tut laddie, methinks you can just grow another spleen or pancreas or other odd bits and bobs down below. Carry on...

powdered pop

Cool breeze blowing through the window on a sunny August morning and these fine sounds. Not much better than this it git

You are describing the exact vibe of the Barge studio right now, Brian.

BLOOZ SPLOZHEEEUNNN!

Fuzz bass makes it

I kinda thought this Jon Spencer record sounded more like a return to the Pussy Galore vibe. Which is fine by me.

good mornin'!

Good Morning @Mike & fellow Circuit Plug-Ins! BIIIIIGGGG fan of Jon Spencer I am! He hasn't slowed down much for someone my age. I'm still enthralled. And yeah, I agree that the new solo album has sort of a more loosey-goosey messy vibe of the Galore.

Good day to you, DJ Esoterica!

Good day to you, Mr. M!

wait! i have able tasmans in my playlist possibly for toinight - weird minds think alike.

Esoterica! Teresa! Hello!

Howdy! Hi, T, too!

IT IS INTERNATIONAL ABLE TASMANS APPRECIATION DAY

oh yeah

Typos are easy to overlook for you, DJ Esoterica! Cheers for the edits! Haha!

Aw yeah.

Cheers, Mr. M! I took your advice on the moniker here, btw...

Yes! Glad to see it!

Goodest Morning, E! & Mr. M! & Brian! & Yvang! & Jon! & Dale! & Dan! & Aiffrig! & Jim! & #6! & DTO!

DJ MikeLupica! Many thanks for another SuperDuper Show! Nice chatting with you and your swell listeners! Big cheers and kind regards to you!

Cheers, Mike, gotta scoot! Great show.

My pleasure, MrM. See yas next week for the last Tuesday mornin' show.

Thanks Mike for the good vibes and the Kool Aid!

Calendar changeup time once again.

TeresaPeacock! Hope you are Healthy and Happy!

Great choice here. Leo Co forevo

And if times are tough you can always get flavor aid instead of kool aid

LEONARD COHEN ♥️♥️♥️

Thanks for another fine show for the record books, BCNU!

Aw, Mr. M! Getting there... got lotsa follow-up doctors' appts. in the next few days. Wonderful show as always, Mike! You set the tone for a stellar Tuesday every single week! I'll miss you at this time-slot but I'll follow you anywhere ❤️

that keyboard tone for LC is shiver up the spine for the teeth of me ears to sink into
