Jon Solomon Wed Sep 16 with Jon Solomon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Chatty chat chat go.

I'm here. I may nap while here. That's just the way it's gotta be.

Gotta rest up for your big show!

Hey Jon and all!

Hey Alex!

I had some great pie last night. Wait, is a semifreddo a pie?

Whatever you do, please don't tell me about the death of pop

2 shows, 17 hours apart.

I once saw Gaunt play 3x in 24 hours. It can be done!

Wanting some anarcho pie though

They had to be a bit younger at the time?

We all were!

Let me tell you of my new musical obsession: https://fling2.bandcamp.com/music

Oh remind me to listen when I'm not on the radio please!

How is it all going, gang?

Going well. Very happy with some JS inspired purchases. Pissed Jeans "Why Love Now" and a couple of Oren Ambarchi "Ghosted" and "Ghosted III".

Heck yes, Alex. The system works!

If Chrome was 71 and this record came out in 1977 he likely co-wrote it as a teen when in Rocket From The Tombs. Wild.

I really dig a lot of those Oren Ambarchi releases.

Hey all. Great song to start it off, Jon

Recommend the Ghosted albums, Andrew.

Zach! Good evening! It really is eternally excellent.

I recommend the Ghosted albums.

good evening, radio friends!

Also: Shebang

Thank you, Andrew.

Hello, Donutage!

@ Andrew Chaffen. I like the way they use interference patterns to make musical statements.

it may shock you to learn that I'm enjoying a donut this very minute

I am shook.

What kind of donut?

it's a rarer occurrence than you might think

honey glazed, Zach

I saw Rocket From The Tombs at Maxwell's. 2003, I think? I forget who opened.

Sonic Reducer yessssssss nice one dj

I like the sound of "they use interference patterns to make musical statements." I do not know what that means.

👌

Immersion Scriber soundin good!

Immersion Scriber drops a new track every month. I don't always get the chance to press play but this one is outstanding.

Favorite donut? Go!

Mats! David!

Apple cider donut at an orchard.

For me, maple frosted.

Earlier I saw Rocket From the Crypt at Maxwell's, but that's quite different.

Cider donuta rule!

Purchased and consumed on premises

RIP Cheetah C in Nashville.

I only saw Crypt, never Tombs.

weed donuts

maple is a good one, dj

Toasted coconut is an underrated donut.

rhino bass! (Albini-ism for aggressive , upfront bass guitar)!

All one guy from Philly. Respect.

something called me...

dayum, dude is talented

Honey crueler if there’s not an orchard available

OMBG!

@ Andrew. When two different waves intersect they can interact with one another causing enhanced and reduced sound where the peaks and troughs meet. It creates a wobbly pattern to the sound. Its used in tuning guitars. When the wobbling disappears the notes are the same.

Zach with the cruller! Yessssssssss! That's my fave line from Wizard of Oz, about crullers.

hi jon.

Alex: Jah Wobble

@ Mats. Only when I'm drinking.

John Belushi once guest-drummed for Dead Boys. 'Tis a pity he couldn't get them booked on SNL, as he later did with Fear.

I tried to teach students once about accelerationism using the analogy of the skateboard speed wobble (society wobbling, getting more fragile, falling apart while accelerating) but I dont fink they got it.

David S, and the Belushi movie Neighbors is very punk rock with a punk character! Belushi was punk af.

Alex LOL

a pleasant afternoon to one and all.

Heya Dale!

There was a deadly sports car incident many years ago when the car entered a wobble phase and fell apart. There was a trail of parts for miles. They estimated the car hit 120mph - all happening uner an elevated train French Connection like.

going back through the chat imma put in my vote for bavarian cream.

Wobbling is horrible on skateboard but as per Alex it makes for good musics!

Dale, a quality choice. My dad is a jelly donut man.

Belated greetings and salutations to all from out yonder on the Pacific Rim

Agree 100% with Dale Bavarian Cream.

El Patricio, good afternoon as far as you are concerned.

mrs. dale works at a bank and customers bring the tellers donuts and gifts. she brought home some leftover donuts once and a maple cream with a thick piece of real crsipy bacon on top was pretty fine.

Jon, dj Rosasolis busted out some Water Damage on Monday which was of course delightful; I pointed the illustrious dj toward the WD show with King Coffey on drums, which is one of my faves: dark, lysergic, urgent, loud. (a PsychFest live recording)

You're doing the work, Mats.

Dale yum!

The same "wobbling" effect brings down bridges....https://www.britannica.com/topic/Tacoma-Narrows-Bridge

dang. that hits the spot, still.

I am not a bacon guy so I'm always happy when there's maple as a stand-alone option too.

I watched Speed Racer over the weekend, so I've got Racer X on the brain.

.....and for what it's worth Mark Trombino from Drive Like Jehu has one heckuva doughnut shop out here

Yes! Racer X!

US Maple

i bought the 12" and blased my tape of in my car

dont tell Al Jourgensen but he lifted Ministry's "NWO" from this BB track

YOU'RE JUST A BAD PENNY (sorry for shouting but Big Black does that to a man)

jon, i try to stay vegan but it was there.

Love how Albini took listeners to depths of bass and heights of treble.

Dale, you sound like me looking at a plum mascarpone semifreddo last night!

the 12" is mixed super loud, it really slams

re: speed racer, has anyone figured out how much the solid gold car weighed? wouldn't it have blown tires?

I meant to try Donut Friend when I was in Los Angeles last but I only remembered it existed just now.

Jon - I want to hear your thoughts on Speed Racer.

an Alice Donut is sometimes good

Yhat's a very good question, Dale!

Speed Racer rules. It is even better then when I first saw it. "Not the monkey parts!" made me laugh out loud.

Speed Racer is maybe the most cartoony live-action movie I've seen. Which I meen neither positively or negatively. It was just striking.

The 4K version I streamed was almost more than my TV could handle.

speed racer and jonny quest fueled a young boys imagination. plus jonny quest had an amazing theme song.

Yeah, I believe that, Jonn

They did it! Three actual, physical albums in one calendar year.

Those crazy bastards!

February, July and November. Like freaking quarterly reports or something.

King Gizzard Lizard Wizard

i am sure that lizard gizzard band has done that and more

also, Weedian puts out amazeballs comps monthly, often with upwards of 30 bands

did we say the same thing at the same time?

ha

OBMG we did LOL

bruthurrrr

CREEDENCE, 1969

Jon, my son got a degree in Film, 2026! Very proud of him.

excellenT

We found yer stolen car, Dude, but no Creedence tapes.

i want to hear that shellac song about high fives now.

Buckethead and Sun Ra for proliferation!

A punk at 71 is almost unheard of! Good for Cheetah C. We generally have a shorter lifespan, natch.

I second OBMG re Shellac.

Jon gettin loopy on rut beer.

Slipping into lurk mode now, but rock on my friends!

Respectable Trouble- solid band name.

Love the Lambrini Girls.

Mats, congrats. Just starting our journey over here.

And the band Trouble is a criminally underated progenitor of doom music!

Hi everyone. Lambrini Girls are good indeed

'it's an eye for an eye, bitch....' - words for today.

Dale H I caught that too! Great line.

Slip away, Donutage.

Sun Within gettin luminiferous

That Tembo album is really amazing. One of those musicians who creates their own world.

I hadn't heard that one prior. Thanks, Mats.

Google should name a web browser after Cheetah Chrome.

a web browser for punks LOL

This piece is lovely

And now crazy lol

crazy lovely

Mike Meanstreetz is a great name.

Maybe the greatest name of the entire show and we were just talking about Cheetah Chrome!

alliterative names rule

Jon this is like the hard jazz in LOST HIGHWAY (btw I am at yer house, call me)

Can you empty the dishwasher, please?

Lol

A dude in two places at once: Lynch telling us about quantum entanglement in his, well, lynchian way.

Think my buddy Ike tipped me off to this one. Thanks, Ike!

Thank ye Ike!

I like Ike.

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS_BARXSjZWeknwfU0tLAy1z-T7ksLCOmxg1ODSWL6jeA&s=10 Thrown. If it gets even better, I might jump in the pool fully clothed.

Alex stay frosty, friend. Stay frosty.

Just jagging. Withdrawn.

https://moviemezzanine.com/wp-content/uploads/aliens-stay-frosty.jpeg

Love a good jag now and again.

I would like to thank Pat from Clamour Club for minding the store so I can duck out early tonight and go see something I did not think I would be able to go see. More on that next week (if not sooner).

This all came together this morning / afternoon and I am appreciative.

sounds like yer headed for a hoot, Jon

Shellac at Action Park, RAAL at Punishment Park

speaking of punishment, under the radar yet excellent Chat Pile song (I'd wager one of their best) https://chatpile.bandcamp.com/track/punishment-box

I saw Patti Harrison repping Chat Pile yesterday. I hope they become friends.

By Jon, thx for the show, have a great time tonight!

And we're heading out too, bye everyone

Bye, Rob! I will brief you on where I went after it hopefully happens...

take care Rob

Oh boy! Just don't get on DC or MD 295!

B̴̧̞͑͌R̶̮̾Á̸̮I̸̭̅Ṉ̸̛̥S̷͙̐!̵͎̮̄

Thanks Jon! I always appreciate the selections.

Zombologist, no brains to be found here. Sorry!

Zombologist HAAAAAAA!

Just saw a great zombie movie from Troma called Mutant Blast (2018).Surprisingly good. Big heart, funny af, fun gore.

and it's in Portugese which is a trip

Man this is great sounds like water dropping on shattered glass

I like it, Sean.

I'm in tune with this spooky music

TAndy!

Yo Jon! Chat!

Yo yo.

sup TAndy, howzit brah

The new Toxic Avenger wasn’t as good as I’d hoped with the all star cast but worth few laughs.

Zombologist I was disappointed in it. I love Macon Blair, but it's a misstep.

Zombologist, I did like the Street Trash remake set in South Africa.

Haven’t seen that yet but it’s on my list.

Street Eaters! @jon

DOPESMOKERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR jk @jon

I made it 10 minutes into the new Toxic Avenger and realized it wasn't the right night for me to watch it.

Ok! Off I go! Thank you, Pat!

have fun Jon

This is way cool to drop in on...

You guys are on the pot!

lol

Someone in my office called it reefer a term I'd totally forgotten about and absolutely love

Historical movies are the information we need these days...

Should I pop a tab for this music? Damn

A Tab, Pepsi Free, Fanta... whatever you're feeling

Thank you for helping me find my center of balance today Jon. I am a drumstick away from nirvana.

Two tabs away from 1977

It's currently just me in the studio and manning the board while I prep for my show but I'll send him yr best Roffle

Just do from zero too loudy jams. :)

I gotta go buy some evil thing turned into a sandwich. See ya later...

adios roffle
