Hola again!

Greetings & Salutations!

Up the dial! Down the dial! Here we go again!

Mimosa! 🥂

Even old, fermenting OJ will do!

Iced lemon water!🍋

Iced lemon water definitely in the lead as of this moment!

I think I have lemons on-hand, too. Which I will look for as soon as I figure out who bent the headphones beyond usability.

I always BMO headphones, so as not to share anyone's earwax.

Dust for earprints!

Great tracks to start the show! 📻🎶🎵🩶

WTTMF MRM.

SONIC YOUTH ♥️

Something something something mutha fooker 🧐

I don't know if it's lore or fact, but I love the idea of Sonic Youth rolling up for their BBC session on John Peel's show and doing a set of all Fall covers w/o telling anyone of their plans.

MRM, it's on Urban Dictionary.

Heck Yeeaahh!

I use it a lot.

BRB NGL TBH CDC NBA

I got the best bit!

Is it just me or is the RIBS guy singing from Mark E Smith's Big Book of Pronunciation Styles?

Two things can be true

Book-ah.

oh girl, you have no faith in medicine

HAWKWIND‼️ guy calling you yelling L0LZ

HAHAHA, NO PHONE AT THE BARGE. DO YOUR WORST, HAWKWIND GUY

WHAT THE H!LL WAS THAT? play it again

Ha!

Lol I had no idea about the station bat!

I believe the WPRBat was a bat I got at Bat Day at Yankee Stadium as a kid...

rusty tire iron 🥸

Whoooo new time slot!

KILLDOZER 💝

WHAT MRM SAID.

Good afternoon. Years ago I found a cricket bat during a walk. Serves the same purpose as your baseball bat . Never used

you may hold hands as the lupica advised, but also cross your fingers that the spicy california roll i just consumed from wegman's will not make me sick.

I've never once enjoyed this song until this moment, when I heard this version

...and calling mike "the lupica" was in error although it is kinda catchy.

@Esoterica, I too just ate something fairly suspect for lunch. Let's see how many WPRB DJs can puke at the same time?

Krista, Killdozer is GREAT for that. Listen to their cover of "Unbelievable" by EMF.

great game!

Speaking of odd covers, Klack did a cover of Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

W/O really planning for it, I have a bunch of weird covers racked up for today's show.

Weird Covers 🩷💝💖

0! DEVO ❤️❤️❤️

Did you know the mayor of Stockton, CA is named Christina Fugazi?

Love gogol bordello, one of the coolest acts and one of the worst smelling shows I ever attended

LOL Tyler

FUGAZI 🖤🖤🖤

WhutHaHa @TylerB.

I think the stinkiest shows I ever attended were Buzzoven (sludge metal) and Trad Gras Och Stenar (hippie psych band)

2010s when unwashed beards and the no shampoo movement were at their height was a rough time but nothing beats the pokemon tournament where my dad threatened to break a man's arms in the parking lot

In terms of stink anyway. Being a 9 year old girl and winning the tournament meant the most unwashed of the unwashed tried to square up with a little girl before finding out my coal plant dad was there with me

KRISTA!!!! WHY ISN'T THIS THE FIRST THING YOU EVER TOLD ME WHEN I MET YOU????

omg krista - what a story

Trying to think of which WPRB DJ I would have suspected if I was told "one of us won a Pokemon tournament."

Jon, is this what Draftkings is for?

Isn't this Jon Solomon's program?

All of this is Jon Solomon's Program, we just live here.

Mike, if this is indeed my program and I am unwashed at home you have successfully unlocked one of the worst DJ anxiety dreams and I salute you (from a cold sweat).

I have what is probably a clueless query:

@Jon, the song is almost over and you only have an Angry Samoans record at the ready.

...and somehow every track on said Angry Samoans record is Ballad of Jerry Curlan. No matter where I cue.

I was listening to Richard Hell's Betrayal Takes Two -- something I'd never (knowingly) heard before. Is there an "ur" source to the guitar? I recognized in it a later song by Rob Buck's League of Blind Women: Tom Dooley. Where does this specific music come from?

@William, the Voidoid's Robert Quine was the band's guitar player and much ink has been spilled on his style and influences. Dig deep, I can promise quite a ride.

Yeah Aja Monet!

@Readie, she's amazing!

YES

Appearing at. the Dodge Poetry Festival next month. (At NJPAC)

It was a pokemon tournament on the old gameboys, the original red and blue connected by cable. Defeated them with Clefable

🏆

I’m packing as we speak for my transatlantic crossing, and me brother and I were bonding over the packathon theme: WHERE’s Me Jumper?” Courtesy of Sultans of Ping FC.

Mike had you heard the MC Sensational passed away? Believe you are a fan and I keep forgetting to share that sad news with you.

HOLY SHIT< WAIT WHUT???

I do love Sensational!

https://ra.co/news/85764

When Jon Solomon wakes up, will we all disappear?

The news didn't really seem to get out there.

Oh man, that's awful. I know he was homeless for a long time. There's a great documentary about him on YouTube.

This gets into some of that.

https://www.zensounds.de/p/style-wars-over-stockhausen-in-memory

Most of his stuff usually requires a lot of editing to make it FCC friendly, so I'll have to pay tribute next week.

oops

Me accidentally playing the first 20 seconds of a Sensational song over top of David Crosby will have to pass for this week's remembrance.

this is great

@Michael, Any similarities to "The Pusher" by Steppenwolf are almost certainly intentional

A pal turned me on to this Crosby solo record just in the last year -- it's great, often turns up in the wild for two or three bucks, so if you like that Easy Rider vibe...

Hello Mr. Lupica! Hello class. Sorry for being tardy.

Hello, Donutage. Worry not, we hand out hall passes like halloween candy here.

* whew! * I can't afford another detention

was really diggen that gogol bordello before it's been some time since listening to them

FREAKY PEOPLE! FREAKY PEOPLE! FREAKY PEOPLE!

Cowboy Movie is top shelf! The whole album is wild.

Thanks good to hear that euro culty culty al doum and the faryds. First heard them on your show Mike back when that lp came out. Grabbed their latest last year too and some other older one. Join a cult, grab a horn, don a colored robe, move to a hillside in ItaloSwitzoFrancoSpano area. Press record.....

Velocity Girl! Nice! I was so into these guys 30-odd years ago.

@Brian, heck yeah! They are really wonderful -- would love to see them live, I'm sure it's quite the show.

@Donutage, I hope you were listening to PRB cira 1991/92, as they were topping the charts here back then.

@Roffle, I'm diggin' it! Better late than never.

Ya back in the cassette days then later in the lovely 00s-10s free for all innernette (THE INNERNETTE! THANKS CINCO!) era there were some great big ol boot legged comps of the so called S.N.A.C.K. musicians (Crosby, Neil, Jerry, Jorma, Jack Casady etc) containing many outtakes from the Wally Heider studios especially the Crosby ....Remember my Name sessions. Some gems there

I probably was, while I worked as a stringer for the Burlington County Times

@Brian, I refer to those musicians as "Weapons Hippies" -- i.e. hippies who are into guns. Quicksilver Messnger Service, CSN, the MC5, etc

Yayo was a gateway drug to guns ya

They were all pretty far out.

Jackie Mittoo just kills it errytimes

A-yup!

He da champion in de arena

did tool have this in one of there albums this seems famil

their

Do you mean the alien conspiracy samples?

EXENE CERVENKA ♥️♥️♥️

That was open mic boss level. :)

yes mike! mb

TopNotch Show! Start to Finish! Well done, DJ MikeTheLupica! Many thanks & kind regards!

And the wind began to howl...

At the skating rink.

Huh?! THIS❣️

Cool sets, THX!

He does "Pretty Vacant" on the flip

Spin it!

Cheers to all the Dears, especially those with Big Earz! 🖤💀

Big CHEERS to you, DJ MikeLupica!

Thamks for the show, Mike!
