Running Redlights Fri Oct 9 with Jen on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Redlights!

we are ready!

Dishwasher is empty! You nearly have my full attention!

wonderful! Welcome, friends!

I’m painting trim so you have like 75% of my attention. Hi Jon

You don't sound a day over 116.

hahahaha

@zach, careful on any ladders, friend

I’m not allowed on ladders still, laying on the floor, now danger but smudges

No danger

perfect! then we can play as fast as we like.

Jen, I hope you feel better soon! happy Friday!

thank you! music always helps!

We’re heading out to play a fest in Ohio and our Bluetooth broke and this show is getting us through a long stretch of NJ and PA he’ll yeah

So So Sick by Unrest perhaps...?

Great choice here. Mudhoney. Feel better!

@jon good call! will look for it!

@ross oh no !! glad I can help!

thanks, @brian!

What fest, Ross?

Also, what band Ross?!

you're still one of my three favorite DJs even though I never get to listen at this time of day, I hope you feel better.

getting me pumped up to go skateboarding in West Philly

@jon. I’m in Sunrot and the fest is Emissions from the Monolith. I had to come here and check the playlist cause it’s been so killer haha

@uno thank you, that is so kind!!!

you guys are all already making me feel WAY BETTER

Oh cool! If you meet Ian from Kowloon Walled City or their sound person Mac tell them both I say hey!

Also, way jealous you get to see Torche...

@jon hell yeah we’re tryina get there before Kowloon plays. We’ll def say hey! Yeah Torche/Rwake back to back is insane

holy crap, that looks fun! @ross, bring us along!

I'm going to see KWC on Monday in Philadelphia, hopefully.

sick of it all, the germs, death, cannibal corpse (thats just sick) , vomit coffin

Hell yeah @Jen. You got it 🫡

🤘🏻

@uno hahahahah that is totally sick. how did i not even come up with Germs!

Jen! With a themed show. Love it!

hahahah @marcus i didn't have much occasion to plan it out well given i was in bed all week, but giving it a shot ;)

(at least for a few more mins)

Thanks, Jen!

i totally forgot this song existed, thank you!

It was part of the 60+ song medley I saw Mark Robinson play on Labor Day.

terrific!

Hey! This kicks ass

Alright. 18 months after I installed these floor my bedroom trim is all done. I’d like to thank Wprb for getting me here.

hey @kelly! i agree! @zach, congratulations!

This is a pretty rockin' show for someone who claims to be sick

Whole set has been great

haha thanks, you guys. Nice to funnel all the energy I don't have through records instead. :D

Slow Blues Fever reminded me of Tenor Saw "Fever"

ah i don't know that!

love the hot tips

We got enough Tenor Saw DJ's Jen, we need you to Rock and Roll

hahahahaha ok love it

Mudhoney! Unrest! Good stuff, dj!

COWBELL

Love this Fu album

bangers galore album

The Action is Go also so great. Those 2 are the peak

i KNEW this would summon @mats

so good

couldn't resist the fuzz and wah !

you can't escape us, dude

pulled in like a tractor beam

haaaaaaaaaaaa!! soundin like Bongwater!!

perfect for today

Chipmunks

blue tile is a skate reference from the 1970s-80s southern california skatelord scene

Skating empty swimming pools!

Sorry you're not feeling well! 🤒😷hope you get better soon! I liked the lil elves

dj yer a real trooper! that's the spirit

@bryce @mats hahaha thank you!

Jen you need the Hot Toddy Matt Pike Special for that flu. ONE HOT TODD PIKE SPECIAL, Lloyd! Order up (ding)

Pike had hot toddies after ruining his voice singing. Hot toddies! Silliness.

A friend was losing his voice on tour recently and Thalia Zedek recommended gargling with bourbon. Fixed him right quick!

(Can not condone.)

ahhhhh, Jon, that is the David Yow Treatment! Jen do ittttttttt

hahahahah maybe with honey!

Good afternoon Jen! I'm sorry you're feeling sick

and hello everyone

SUP

Rob!

Mats and Marcus! ¡Hola!

Rob, I might have found the location of the old PLO, it was either a shwarma place in Upper Georgetown or Georgetown Cafe. On Wisconsin, above Q, across from the 7-11

Whisky, honey an' chili powder. Gotta sweat it outta ya innit?

Marcus, nice! (And what does PLO stand for in this case?)

Jen just watch out for Tenafly Viper. Bad batch.

The owners were Arab

A late night after Tracks spot

One o the best covers in decades. The middle eight is like a middle eight hundred

Malcolm in the Middle

I was a D.C. hotspot post-club in the early 90's

Perfect time to re-share the Rick Nielsen auction in the chat...

https://www.juliensauctions.com/en/auctions/the-rick-nielsen-collection?fbclid=IwY2xjawUzWDBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mBWJyaWQRMTJOTDdEQ0hJZGdDN1ZTdklzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeBwQLPMtsZpLfq2yQhZ5fVlNxrkk1VzS-moc23nc3_l0pmmhG8547STbWJY4_aem_0O7QMcHWnDjcyKNxednEpA

Look at those sweaters!!

Jon, I said I wanted a Dream Police Ice Cream suit and Jen magically plays this song. the persecuted me right here in Princeton, NJ!

Marcus Lol

now you have my christmas list

Ice cream cake. Fudgie da Whale.

my daughter did this song (without the crazy bridge) at a talent show in high school with a full band made up of students and teachers and it was amazing. she sang and played guitar, and kept it secret from me until the performance

OH MY GOD THAT IS AWESOME

@Marcus, I see, thx. I used to volunteer at the Audubon Naturalist Society bookshop on Wisconsin Avenue near Q Street in the early 80s, until they moved it to their HQ in Chevy Chase MD. So not terribly far from PLO or that 7-11?

Andrewgtb what!!

Shut the chat down for the night, Andrew just won the chat.

@andrew's daughter won the chat. tell me they did claps too!

Jon Lol

@Andrew Gtb, wow!

They didn't include the Rapping?

there were a lot of talented kids at that school

songs with handclaps rule

Andrew, your kid ROCKS!

i dont know if there were claps. ill find the video!

this hardcore screamo band The Jon-Benet has a really brutal song that has a handclap break section. Always cracks me up.

the jon-benet omg

the mighty HR! Nice!

she also surprised me when she did a barbara manning song at an open mic a couple of years ago

https://thejonbenet.bandcamp.com/music

This New Age Doom record rules.

Andrewgtb yer daughter is punk rock!

@mike it gets better every time i hear it. so good.

@andrew i hope your little listens to WPRB too! we need more of her.

there is a hilarious video on youtube if I can find it of Daryl Jenifer of bad brains talking about HR's scream-induced hernia in the 1980s

omg that sounds painful

THIS MY JAM RIGHT HERE

Related: Jen already knows about this, but there were actual crustpunks in my local supermarket last night.

THEY LIVE

crust-tastic

For the permanent record: https://c.im/@mlupica/117410594061728446

String breakers

Lupica yessssssssss the crustpeoples

Homo crustlordicus, offshoot of sapien

I texted Commie Francis while I was asked her if I should try talking to them and she replied: "No, they'll think you're a dork". To which I replied: "I AM A DORK"

Lupica LOL crust documentation

*While I was there

A band from CA walked past my place, and after a few words invited me to their show. What a bunch of studs...

hahahahahaha I bet they'd think you're a dork AND listen to your show

Holds up phone in grocery store: "My friend Commie would like to talk to you."

What band, Roffle?

Roff !!

And vest

LOL Jon

I believe this song is what the kids call a "trigger warning"

the best is when the crusters have little pets in crusty battlejackets

Had to check the lyrics to make sure she was saying "cut" (she is).

😅

Oh so THIS is Piss? Not what I expected from that name. I like it!

NSFW

Marcus I grew up with a lotta yellin so it is nostalgic LOL

They played a few blocks away. I forgot who they were. To be honest, but when I get home I will look them up Jon.

Mike can you please make a Oh so THIS is Piss? graphic in the Now That's What I Call Music font?

evoked Instant Girl for me. which never would have been on sub pop??

@Mats: Trigger Warning: The Greate Santini

That was intense

Stand by, I'm fixing the tech problem.

Marcus the Great Sabatini https://thegreatsabatini.bandcamp.com/album/napoleon-sodomite

Nausea by JP Sartre

To quote Mr Malcontent: THIS RN AF.

this band is so fucking cool. i can't wait to see them someday.

21 BUM SALUTE

I think they were warming up for Amyl and the Sniffers on their most recent US tour.

Amyl! Some dogs can't be muzzled, as A & the Sniffers say.

winter jacket activated for this crisp weatha. And shorts.

that must have been fun! Amyl tickets near me were stupid

If you’re referring to Party Dozen, I saw them open for Lambrini Girls at Ukie Club in Philly.

oh NICE!

Lambrini Girls rule

There's a video of PISS doing an in-studio at KEXP in Seattle. It was very very intense, we only watched the first 7 or 10 minutes of it before we skipped to the dj talking to the band. We will watch the rest of it soon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk1VmJkS3KA

KEXP! They have hosted some amazeballs bands.

ROLL OUT THE WIZARDS!

First heard Lambrini Girls on Running Red Lights. Thank you Jen!

Mats, heck yeah. That's how my wife and I and everyone else it seems found out about Angine de Poitrine earlier this year

I love that, and you are so welcome, @iconjohn!

Jen, I feel this show in my bones

@marcus you and me both :D

@iConJohn, did you ever make it down to the Outer Banks?

the KEXP show with Mark Lanegan (RIP) is haunting

this song just makes me want to run around yelling, "FLUUUUUUUUTE!"

Jen 1) gargle bourbon 2) run around yelling flute

I've discovered several bands on this show, possibly including Lambrini Girls. I'm pretty sure Itchy And The Nits was a Running Redlights discovery

i hope many more to come!

this show=Running Redlights

i learn lots from y'all too :D

@Jen, me too. Like maybe MSWOG?

Mats, I visited Lanegan's grave at Hollywood Forever a couple years ago. Hit me hard. Was on a tour led by Chaki who guested on this week's show to tie it all back to WPRB...

Hi Rob MD, steaming the show on Hatteras! Back to Maryland tomorrow.

iconjohn nice!

Jon, that is beautiful.

iConJohn, hooray! Have a safe trip back to Maryland (just in time for the rain from Hurricane Isaias on Sunday)

Jon, great pic!

Rob MD, hauling ass out of MD by 9am. Just checking in on the boat for the night.

summoning Capdoc Ahab

Jen the new Weedian monthly comp is out. Lotsa stuff to dive into.

Hard to keep up with them Weedians.

ah! love those, usually at least a few good tracks

re: Lanegan, check out his performance of "I am the Wolf" on KEXP. Cinematic and spooky and amazeballs, like a QOTSA song circa Songs for the Deaf.

Swervedriver?

I used to listen to Screaming Trees flying between coasts growing up. On the plastic airplane headphones plugged into the seat. They had Soul Asylum, Suicidal Tendencies!

Jen, another Alameda band: Cornelious Aspergers and the Bicurious Unicorns. Supergroup of Fang singer. Good solid punk.

@Mats (4:45), that's great!

Marcus NAILED IT

@marcus thank you! that was spot on. I just saw Swervedriver in August, actually. They were so boring.

there is beach at Alameda! Fun lil town.

@mats good to know!

Alameda beach is great

@Jen, the new Exbats cd come in an ejector case. I'm tempted to buy it on those grounds alone

Jen, thank you for an awesome show. Thank you chat for recognizing my genius I swear it won't go to my head

Jen, did Swervedriver gaze at their shoes?

Marcus LOLOLOLOLOL

@rob ha!

when you gaze into the shoe/ use caution, as the shoe gazes back - nietzsche

@mats they gazed. But I had gone to see The Life and Times open. They were spectacular, so nothing was going to make that gazing seem interesting.

her voice on this record is so killer

@marcus I'm glad you've liked the show! thanks for being here!

I saw Jesus and Mary chain at the Ritz in '86 and they never once looked up. I was used to stage diving at Fishbone shows so I was like "what's up with that?"

Jen, awesome dedication to tha punk rock! Feel betta. I send ye good vibes from my crystal transmitter. (amesthyst, obsidian, jasper, unknown space rock crystals)

@Jen, I enjoyed what I was able to catch of your show. Thx for playing Exbats! (And PISS too)

*And feel better soon!!!

thanks for being here, all, and @rob you're welcome on the ladies!

Marcus LOL. Fishbone is so fun.

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

that scream hit the spot

yeah jen! can't wait to see sweeping promises next month

Bandcamp tells me that if I like The Exbats I may also like ... Sweeping Promises!

Bandcamp rules

bandcamp shows up way too much on my credit card statement

@Andrew, I hear you!!

thanks Jen!!

@andrew I saw them last month, and it was awesome.

have a great weekend, all. stay healthy! buy records!

Hey Jon, they played at Ortlieb's and were walking around the block. Looking them up now late as ever... lol

Thanks Jen! Hope the Flu fly's soon..

thank you! i'm getting impatient.
