Jon Solomon Wed Sep 23 with Jon Solomon on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

I have opened this "chat" you all keep talking about.

That is how I heard of it. Bla, bla, bla... :)

Hi Jon!

People tell me good things about "chat." Figured I'd give it a try and see how it goes.

Bought this ticket, lets take the ride.

🎟️

You juggle so much stuff, you clearly have a season pass.

Can hear a crying baby across the street. We'll see if the mic picks them up.

Great show open if it does. :)

Hi Jon! Hi audience! It's the fall....

Ha. I guess I do have something for that...

It's wet leaves season which scare me a lot Dan.

Althhough I love the weather.

Hello!!

Hi Jon and everyone

hello!

I dont KNOW Janet

My wife and I are getting ready to head out to see Cabaret Voltaire and I Speak Machine this evening. I will be wearing a WPRB t-shirt, my wife will be wearing a Horse Lords shirt

Hi Rob! Shouldn't that crab be a Callinectes sapidus, i.e. blue crab? :)

Pushups are crab like...

Hello Jon! If both me and my kid show up to the WPRB booth at PorchFest in WPRB T-shirts do we get a door prize?

Rob! I still have Drinking Gasoline. Enjoy the show

afternoon.

Marcus, I would certainly hope a photograph or some stickers or both would be in order!

Oh MAN of all the Wednesdays not to be able to catch your show, Jon

Hope I can help you pre-game at least!

Roffle, Dan, Rob, Richard, Marcus, Dale...hello!

How much would minor threat charge for a show in 2026 would it be $5 adjusted for inflation ?

Hi Roffle, yes! But that's the only crab emoji in emojipedia

Greetings Jon Solomon - greeting chatters - lovely evening!

Carlos, and would it be a all-ages straight edge show?

Carlos! DJ Tenderloin!

@Rob, that's what I figured. :)

@Marcus, cool! Our friend is really into them, we not so much

good evening Jon + chatterlings

I'll look at this playlist when we get home and cry, or smile! And I really have to go see Salad Days

So bye everyone

Have asked this question before but what is the largest venue a reunited Fugazi could sell out? I continue to argue a single show would fill a major league sports stadium.

Enjoy Rob!

Hey Andrew!

Jon, depends if it's wheelchair accesible at this point

In what town Jon?

For (the) argument's sake, DC.

And how far parking is away from the venue for us, solar fans

Solid!

I didn't expect such specific questions while I look up that the DC United stadium holds 20,000.

And it would be a matinee show, of course

And the parking overflow? Logistics...

L.F.G!

Mats in the chat (dubs in the chat).

(rasta growl) Big ups! Nice Fawl day in the dirty olde Jersey :)

I have again completed my Ethiopiques collection with the additions of discs 31 and 32.

LFG = Lettuce Feels Great

Jimboooo!

Great showing tonight.

I think the Chester soccer tedium would work..down 95 for NYC crowd..up 95 for Balt and DC fans

Jon nice; jimboooooooooooooooooooooooo

Rob is gonna kick himself for missing that one.

Stadium

recorded one year after the death of Haile Selassie

Apparently one of the last vinyl records released in Ethiopia, according to the liner notes.

Marcus nice intel

The Lion of Judah

(Rob's wife moshing in living room rn to ADP)

Angine de Poitrine's Philly gig is on YouTuber now.

Places I have seen Fugazi: Czech gymnastics hall and university student union

It is thanks to Pat from Clamour Club that I was able to hustle down and go to the show, Roffle. It was...great?

Now Rob will be a bit sad.... LOL

Roff, shall check it out. Good ol' Angine de Poutine.

There are multiple locations in Chicago I saw Fugazi that are now condos. Like, at least three?

One of which, when they played, was a dilapidated roller rink.

I saw Fugazi's 3rd, maybe 4th show ever? At the old 9:30

I think that is exactly how I might feel too Jon. Happy, but not sure why.

I wasn't much for Embrace or Egg Hunt - and then my buddy was like "Ian's got a new band - and they discovered GROOVE!"

Love Fugazi's $7 show rule. Saw Failure in 1997 for $7.

Fugazi played in Princeton in 1988 and the band did not realize it was a private show. They were less than pleased.

Sorry, 1989.

Oh ha, I left a comment on this.

...14 years ago.

ah, before the world went meshuggah

There's a live clip of Fugazi in Salad Days with the crowd going ape that made me a bit teary.

I can't believe they named a band after the inzenelyrejected meme

Jon, on DBTF we were talking about songs that made us cry. Mine was Dag Nasty

I wore that tape out, Marcus.

Arpeggiator brings tears to my eyes like an onion.

Marcus, love it.

Genius!

WTF is this?!?! LOL

Agnostic Front's "Pauly the Beerdrinking Dog" gets me the weeps.

My friend Hench is a genius, Roffle. That's my only explanation.

Wow

Slip It In the Love Shack

I shall not question genius.

Name your price download if you want to snag it. Tell them where you heard it!

Not our only mash up of the night...

Sabbath :0

HOW DO I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS JON

Roff, question everything, especially genius.

That was so clean

DJ TENDERLOIN I ONLY FOUND IT BY ACCIDENT ON MONDAY.

My wife just left the room and said "I AM NOT DOING THIS" in response to mashup

STOP YELLING YOU"RE NOT MIKE LUPICA

Mrs. jimbooooooooooooooooooo

OH BOY

Ha, Jimboooo! This reminds me of an Xmas marathon shirt idea I had today.

How did I not know there were two famous Don Cherrys?

how many notable Don Cherrys are there?

@Mats, I generally do, but I will roll with trusted suggestions. :)

Woah. Jinx.

lol

First by a hair

Great minds, etc.

Marcus..i already miss mike lupica yelling at 7am

Roff attaboi

Carlos LOLOL

I am now super excited about PRF Monthly Tribute Series, which I knew nothing about. And now it's my FAVORITE THING.

Marcus I put the Elite Squad brazilian movie in my queue! (I use Cormac McCarthy's lowercase convention for ethnic adjectives.)

It is ending in December, DJ Tenderloin. Have played stuff from past editions (esp. the Neil Young one) but a band is picked for the month and then people make songs / covers / whatever they like. The winner gets to select the next band.

Mats, it's a great moview

September submissions are still underway.

Who's going to be DJing PorchFest?

Why must it end in December??? I just found it. God damn.

Marcus, I do not know the answer to this question beyond "not me."

Urgh! A Music War on USA and WPRB on the radio is how so many of us got our music back in the 80's

Sounds familiar...

I remember preppies on the Lacrosse team singing "The KKK took my baby away"

Got my musics at Crazy Eddie's, and Rush's Caress of Steel smelled funny inside (in the 1980s).

I remember seeing URGH at a midnight showing for the first time

If i am correct the DK were in the movie but not the soundtrack

Here's the info on the October screening in Philly...

https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/74363386/urgha-music-war-screening-presentation-philadelphia-philamoca

I gotta hop off - s'pizza night at Cartesian Brewing - CJ&D pies - Solomon knows what's up! Will have to take a deep dive into this PRF Tribute series later on. Have a wonderful evening all!

That's really the only legitimate excuse for leaving the chat.

Jon, i have seen Chaki before, he is worth the price of admission by himself

I have also seen Chaki. He gave us our tour of Hollywood Forever Cemetery!

@jon, I have a few versions of 52 girls, I got the Gimme 52 Girls because it fits, but could not credit the inspiration for my purchase. I just wander onto Bandcamp once in a while and don't know where the map is taking me. Somehow I get there anyway...

Bluetip does a good 52 Girls cover, if memory serves.

Keep'em comin'. :)

Were DJs from Mars the first to go pro with the mashups?

Good question. There was certainly a Go Home Productions resurgence.

this don cherry is pretty damn groovy.

Agreed, Dale. I'm very glad the digital version includes the track split between two sides of the double LP in full.

Gonna go ride the river trail and listen along the way for the next hour or so before sunset. Catch ya's later.

Travel safe!

Ride safe!

Cartesian Brewing! Descartes! He wuz more dutch than french! Sacre blue!

Any good viewings this week? My Intro to Film assignment was Days of Heaven.

this singer's voice reminds me a lot of alvarius B of sun city girls

I would not be surprised if SCG were inspired by Peter Jefferies' past bands.

heLLO!

OMBG!

woooouyahhhha

the raygun!

I bought CDs by Naked Raygun and Carter USM at Tower Records in Cherry Hill one night

Raygun Busch of Chat Pile

excited about the Peter Jefferies release

Classy Pat, classy move.

Jon, Mutant Blast (2018), from Troma via Portugal, is funny af..Free on the Tubi. In portugese.

just hear angine on cbc radio 2 this morning, they won a polaris music prize. the song was pretty prog/math rock for cbc 2.

https://www.cbc.ca/music/events/polaris/angine-de-poitrine-polaris-music-prize-2026-recap-9.7354360

I am also obsessed with Alexandre Aja's 2006 remake of Hills Have Eyes, brutal, and lotsa commentary on US and A. Has James, Jamie, Jame Gumm from Silence of the Lambs.

I'll check that out, Mats. I re watched Clockwatchers from '97 and 12 Angry Men

Rush needs to open for ADP.

Richard, ah, Clockwatchers takes me back!

i don't know the size of rooms. i might just quit my job and follow fugazi though.

OMBG do itttttttttt

Your move, Fugazi.

I have approached a local movie theater about screening We Are Fugazi From Washington DC. Fingers crossed.

Jon out there doing the Lord's work. That would be cool.

Since you were in doleystown for the movie, did you hit siren across the street?

great mashup!

Carlos, I did wander around Siren for a while.

Apparently before he died MES was working on a cover of Material Girl, which inspired someone to make what we're hearing now...

I promised multiple mash-ups!

movies: anyone see "eye of god" saw on criterion the other night. i thought it was very good, surprised critics didn;t think it better. thanks for the tunes John

Mosh it up.

Hey Gary! I don't know that one.

Written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson??

Russian Circles still at it!

yes

Was just watching Madonna in Abel Ferrara's Dangeous Game (1996). She does surprisingly well.

i just saw desperately seeking susan with her. i liked it

Dean Ween has the biggest crush on Madonna, and I always thought they should "collab," as the kids say, musically.

Madonna did, after all, launch Deftones on her Maverick Records label, when Deftones were learning how to steal everything from bad brains and make it more commecial.

Mythic Sunship! Paging dj Capdoc Ahab to a white courtesy phone.

Hello Jon! Got a lot of chat to wade through..

Amy! It has been a good night so far...

Leviathan! Cartesian! What's with all the Philosophy tonight?! This is America.

Speaking of DC, saw that the very first Bad Brains recordings from Inner Ear in 1979 are going to finally be released.

In honor of Angine de Poutine, I made a pile of purple potato fries smothered in brie gravy and tajin

hey fam! I've been lurking. Hope everyone's having a fine, autumnal evening.

Hello hello Donutage.

No polka dots for you, Jimboooo?

More dots, please!

Jon nice! Gary/Dr. Know of bad brains should not be working at a grocery store in Woodstock NY after all that his band have given to the world. But life remains, alas, unfair. Nice find, dj!

jimboooooooooo omw

jimboooooo you took poutine to new directions! Salivating OVAH HEAH.

Microtonal vegetarian gravyyyy

jimbooooooooooo is in the ZONE (the poutine zone, a great place to be).

Had surprisingly authentic poutine in Berkeley, CA, once. Of course, found some crusty crusters who gladly took the leftovers.

In the p'zone, as it were.

is misty rowe in she haw?

Mythic Sunship going OFF! I can smell the generator fuel and creosote of the desert.

She-Haw was Amy Pickard and Beth Case (RIP).

Phasers ON

Nothin like a good phaser rip. Turn that dial (on the phaser; keep yer radio dial superglued to WPRB)!

huge sound from a duo.

It is time. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS_BARXSjZWeknwfU0tLAy1z-T7ksLCOmxg1ODSWL6jeA&s=10

Dale H sometimes duos are the most ferocious! (godheadSilo forever)

I do not believe Mythic Sunship are a duo?

that Mythic Sunshjip took me into my own medulla oblangata

From Mythic Sunship to 1980s Lebanese city pop in one move!

I hear Maximum Minnesota, I am summoned

https://subpop.bandcamp.com/album/maximum-mn

Mudhoney! yessssssss

No one's got pipes like Mark Arm.

Neal Markowski! The brilliant force behind the best Water Damage sticker to date.

<3 She Haw!

Neal is a serious Fall fan. I thought he would have been familiar with what I found but he very much was not.

She-Haw were Philly's Freakwater. This is high praise.

Ps. Hi Krista!

Here's The Foul.

https://thefoul.bandcamp.com/music

Back from dinner and I missed Eleventh Dream Day 😭

Marcus. Tv goes off during meals. Music can stay on softly in the background

I forgot about them. Time to update my permanent playlist

Gotta split. Take care y'[all

Good to have you here for a spell!

This set is gorgeous and heartbreaking, Jon. Thank you for recording it and dusting it off.

I am, if I am allowed to say, quite proud of the engineering job here.

nicely done. it's how i think of them, warm and intimate and simple, but not stark

This is a great recording.

Thanks, y'all.

Mythic Sunship made a great riding vibe and this literally brought it home. LOL Thanks again for lovely music Jon.

I feel, to this point and no point further, real good about this one!

I reconized you the other night because you walked into the boardroom. Go figure. :)

Great show Jon!

you did your best Jon

We all tried.

All that DC hardcore does a body good

I liked the Soul Side side more than the Scream side here...
