Circuits Thu Oct 15 with Mike Lupica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Peas in!

Greetings! And Salutations, even!

Hello Mike and PR Bees!

Greetings, my lovelies.

This one is hitting real right.

these F0NKY V I B E S rN Af

we’re saying the same thing

\m/

sound kinda like a Friday morning 😺

HeyOoo 💟

(But devil horn gesture made with both hands, held aloft, while swaying gently with eyes closed.)

💜

@Dave, you should know by now that ripping off other DJs is my thing.

scratch acid and the sun never sets

Ah, but now it is I who will be ripping off

A good song to be found dead in a fountain to, amirite?

alright alright

And one more alright for good measure

Alright

Never know when Wooderson is watching

Halright

we all read that in his accent dont we?

Good afternoon

I read everything that way. Makes the news seem less bad.

Hey Carlos

Have a great show Boss. Have a great day chat fam 🧡

haha, good tactic. Noted

Great start wow

Later Blue

hell yeah!

i'll still be here. Got to focus on studying. Will chime in now and then

and filing my taxes on the absolute last day thank you very much

I will play some music to cry to

falsetto heaven

💞

Falsetto and fried guitars are a sonic match made in heaven

dang

CURTIS MAYFIELD ❤️

That Curtis Mayfield tune ruled

In the words of the late Cronos from Venom: "Indeed, indeed."

Yup Yup, very enjoyable start to the show!

Really digging this one

Super Mario Underworld Theme is my go-to descend a staircase soundtrack

Yep any Gitkin lp I've heard in past year or so is durn good.

The rare song title that's as good as the song itself.

@Blue, I frequently poll people on what their preferred Song To Walk Into a Room To is. For me, it's "Francene" (Spanish language version) by ZZ Top. I think Esoterica said "Jeopardy" by Greg Khin, but I could be misremembering that. How about all y'all?

Word to that, Brian.

Hard agree, Jon!

I hope to someday own the "lo fi" version of this 2xLP which is all different recordings of the exact same tunes.

Which is also different from the CD mix, IIRC?

That's a question for Damon Che (that I won't ask).

For the list

Peaches 'Boys Wanna Be Her'

Hey Jon! <3

LOL, nice one!

@Mike Lupica (host) Yikes! As you advised, vanhalening by the Speaking Canaries! Loved it :-D

yeah, Van Halen-ish

@Richard, there are parts of that record that straight up sound like "Eruption"

Brogue detector alert sounds are pinging like crazy

Is there an app for that, Brian?

Yo Blue!

Don't use the google for anything

The last one. The Canary tune. Hey do Canaries speak? I I thought they just sang. Where is the bird dude? Inquiring minds need to know.

I edited the holy living f*ck out of this Arab Strap song to make it FCC friendly and I *still* had to use the dump button just now.

AltaVista is OK, I hope.

Song to "poke one's head into room, check crowd, say meh/nah then think better of it and close door, retreat".

Have I shared my memory of seeing The Speaking Canaries open for New Bomb Turks and Teengenerate?

Jon, the floor is yours.

@Brian, if I made playlists, that would be a long one.

One New Bomb Turks or Teengenerate fan was NOT INTO IT and started unplugging Damon's (many) guitar pedals mid-set. I believe they were rewarded with a kick directly to the face from the stage.

Overreaction

That sounds pretty on-brand for Damon. And that dude deserved it.

Hmmm 🧐

Éire?! 🇮🇪⁉️

Intro song for a room..Fizzy Bangers, ‘short attention span “

Making digital playlists is a pain mostly due to obsessive editing of metadata, adding/removing artwork, getting the track order just right etc. Ya f that whole mess. Gimme the ol days of a cheap K-Mart 3 pack of 90 min normal bias blank cassettes , tuning in the fm station without static on shoddy ol mono boombox,pressing record+pause and trying to get the very beginning of a song without dj talk or ads and failing but still having a tape full of faves.

Symarip!

whoop ive seen Symarip perform this

This is a great'n. Skinhead Girl

@Mok !!!

Supernova Ska Festival is/was the ultimate gateway to reggae legends.

Recently having a crisis over not having collected all of the Trojan box sets.

Nice! Still glad I got to see the (by then very old) Skatalites perform in the late 80s.

@Jim, I gotchu coming up sometime in hour two.

There's like 70 of those things

And I wil play all of them at once.

I got 6 of them and I always figured I'd get like, the next 6, but no.

Those are killer boxes although some are better than others.

Checked out this Necklace song yesterday on the Slovenly Bandcamp. While I like it, I'm surprised to find it in the Slovenly catalog

I have to refuse that there is a substantive difference between Skinhead Reggae and Suedehead Reggae.

This record should be called Venus Luxure #2 Baby.

Neckface is still around I think.

Joooon Solomon

CHAKA

I didnt know you were fluent in French, Mike! Wow. Perfect pronunciation 10/10

There's always more lentils.

I can also pronounce the name of that band while suspended from a burning hoop above a pit of snakes.

We are the 1%

i think he said less than 1%.

glad to be here

Mike, have you ever staired into the toilet before you flushed it?

Doesn't mean I don't love and appreciate you all dearly for being here, just pointing out the vastness of the universe a la Neil Degrasse Tyson

Count your wealth not in dollars and cents but in radio comrades

Driving around while on the chat is not recommended.

@Luna, yes, looking for god.

MY TUNE

Eternal jam for the ages.

we are the privileged elite, -1% WPRB upper echelon of listeners is what he meant actually

↓↓↓↓

I usually stare into the toilet after I flush it to make sure everything went down.

🖤📻🎶

Sing

inner essence

Sing

every floor should be a Hardwood Honky Tonk Floor when you think about it really

Sing Sing.

Beware of toilet plume

TurlitTalkTime

Every floor contains possibility. You just need to believe.

How about let's not

true, true. thank you dear Sage

Seriously

busy fallin down the stairway to heaven

THIS

reporting for duty!

RN AF

THE PLATTERS ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Yo Donutage!

I only listen to Stairway to Heaven backwards 👿

Is this my crying music Mike?

Good afternoon, Mr. Lupica!

@Blue, it could be, but I was also going to play Discharge later on.

danke

ooo new Kristin Hersh!

Speaking of LedZep, heads up that this Kristin Hersh song has an awesome CODA coming up in a moment.

Hersh Realm

I do love me a good coda.

Protector of the Hersh Realm

I was waiting on a package expected to be delivered between 9:15 and 1:15, just updated to delivery by 8:35 PM, typical PO incompitence.

Another one has been out for delivery for over 2 weeks, lost in transit, presumably.

" In addition to the 69 box sets released by the label, three additional box sets were released in limited Japan-only markets in 2005-2007 and are not widely available in other markets"

Got a dub album w/ a Jeff Sarge song on it recently.

Die, Die My Donnergötter.

I asked the toilet thing because that's when I get my best ideas.

Coda = tail. End of Layla w that sad Goodfellas piano bit and bird chirpin Duane Allman slide guitar is a famous coda as well

6, my Tomeka Reid vinyl was said to be delivered Tuesday to a "Parcel Locker." Which I did not ask for. And no address for said locker given. USPS is erratic recently

so i feel ya

UPS and Amazon screws up sometimes also.

Tim Kerr is in Japan currently I think.

The record ain't called Dance! Ship! Hop!, CB.

the country

@Brian, that is the BEST coda out there because I really hate that song EXCEOT for the Coda.

*EXCEPT

damn Jon, so niche. so quick with the wit 😄

Rhys C "Die Donnergotter" is a very wprb thing for me as well.

Mike, I love my social media for people who hate social media site!

that is in fact the one I orderd

I remember dancing a little jig at the record store the day I finally found a copy of this Rhys Chatham record.

@Donutage, AMEN!!

Mastodon is the methadone of social media. It's just enough.

Well put, Jim! Can I steal that? (With credit.)

Sure. I still kinda have to use Instagram tho. It's an illness.

Round and around and around it goes, where the box is headed, nobody knows, box of confusion.

I don't judge, I just don't follow.

What would be the drug equivalents of other social media?

Twitter/X is something like PCP

Oh man, that is a good experiment.

Agree

Facebook is definitely some kind of pill

This is sadly the Twitter answer:

Insta is confusing but has good visuals, so, LSD?

"[Musk] told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it."

I have to use "Fooshbook", as I call it. Someone sends me bandcamp codes there. "Fooshbook" was a now deleted scam site.

@Jon, if only there was a way to give that guy tons of unchecked power.

Power or powder, Mike?

Swish

Won't top that, so I'm going for a run. Have a great third hour!

I thought of twitter as addictive, but I stopped thinking about it right after they kicked me off.

Running helps sweat out the ketamine, I hear

Good work, Jim

I changed my name to "Woke Token", that was really the reason. It's still there but I can't log in w/o "proving my identity".

The Rhys Chatham song sounds like a mild Glenn Branca composition.

This song too, kinda.

All from the same downtown NYC universe

ooh new Aksak Maboul - awesomeness

Prob. could make a mashup of them.

@Michael, yes, it's lovely. Vox from Veronique Vincent, who sadly passed away recently.

She of Honeymoon Killers.

Just starting this PISS song, I got that old feeling of having just started playing the song everyone was waiting on the balls of their feet to hear.

It's quite the show-stopper

all the drugs

Would #1 be an acceptable SFR name for this group.

😂🤣😂

?

A level of intensity which start at 100%

OMG.

*long whistle*

And there is an accompanying video.

PISS PISS PISS PISS PISS PISS PISS PISS

Just saw this news item: “POLICE SEIZE ROBOT THAT ALLEGEDLY GROPED TEENAGE GIRL”

“Berlin— German police have seized a robot after it allegedly touched a 16-year-old girls buttocks in an indecent manner and made sexually suggestive gestures toward her. Investigators were trying to determine Wednesday whether the robot's actions were deliberately controlled by two young men who apparently livestreamed the incident in the western city of Cologne on social media”

Mazel Tov, Lupicas 🥂

🎊

Thanks Blue!

Coincidentally also 20th anniversary of the Trojan Rockers box set...or is it?

pensauken mart ?

??

Charizma & PBW get 2 big thumbs up

yeah, what store??

Siren Records, Doylestown!

@Michael, yeah, this record rules

PISS is playing tonight in Bushwick. I think I'll be there..

Solid decision!

Pennsauken mart's been gone for years

Siren has been hosting some cool stuff lately.

I need to get out there more often.

Rockers music don't play.

cool about the anniversery

nice 👍

Tales from the hard side

The Talking Meat Puppet Heads

Gang Green in New Hope 12/19. Oh my.

The Grateful Meat Dead Puppets

MEAT PUPPETS 💛🩵💛

Perfect Pairing

NEIL DIAMOND 💙💎💙

Clarendonians! Trojan Story! <3

@Mok Sparrer, oh god, I think you need to unsubscribe from a few mailing lists.

Where on earth does Gang Green play in New Hope in 2026?

prob at Gene Weens house

LOL

John and Peters :)

Hi Mike--LOVE the variety of your purchases! $ well spent

Thanks Li Maria! I can burn money like a CHAMP.

@Mok - of course. We should all go. WPRB chat meetup at the Gang Green show.

I can walk there so I will be there without a doubt.

Happy Anniversary to MikeLupica & LadyLupica 💝💀

Remember when MarvinRosen was the DJ at your wedding?! 🙃😇🖤💀

#MyGuessWasSilly 🖤💀

Hahaha, I do remember that online poll and how it took people forever to get the right answer

on air, not online

Out of curiosity, what IS the crustpunk capital of NJ?

Kearny

badabing!

Wait, they were shopping? Shopping?

I'm just a simple South Jersey bumpkin, I don't know about your Kearnys.

highly recommend Camp Punksylvania for any adventurous punks.

My favorite anarchist podcast is sponsored by Hellofresh so what can ya do these days.

I actually saw a (different) crustpunk couple in a (different) grocery store around 10 years ago. They had their little kid with them, whom I was relieved to see was just a normal kid wearing a Teenage Mutant Turtle shirt, and not, like, decked out in studs and pins. The crustpunk toddler, though rarely seen in the wild, is a thing.

@Jim LOL

Gotta skip out early. Haven't had lunch yet & I still need to go to the grocery store. Who knows, maybe I'll spot some ultre-rare BurlCo crustpunks!

Give them my best!

Thanks as always for youur service, Mike. Godspeed, chat!

that Party Dozen was nuts. 👏

Nothing better than tuning in and hearing feedback! This day is looking good so far.

DEERHOOF 🤎🤎🤎

Party Dozen is fab -- check their other stuff. MASSIVE energy!

Right on, Roffle

Burlington has a pretty active hardcore scene, I've heard.

You played Die Donnergotter and I missed it? Did you play that backwards? I just got but it's funny to think about.

i interviewed Satomi from Deerhoof and had her guest host a show. She was awesome. The drummer was sorta mean to me backstage. Weird. So now that’s in my brain whenever i listen to Deerhoof thx guy 😆

I've always thought of Crust as Ultimate Punk but the hardcore kids are pretty opposed to this notion.

Greg is a bit on the spectrum I feel.

Deerhoof are all really disparate personalities and sorta weird to engage with, so yeah, totally get that. Still love 'em.

Very awkward interview w/ Eric Andre out there.

Is there another kind of interview with Eric Andre?

Package finally came at 2:31. (Not the wayward one.)

If I still had long hair (and I very much do not), this would be an exemplary song to shake it to.

I guess not, but he's trying out a new format that's just an actual laid-back chat but there's too many guest hosts, it's too laid back!

🧑‍🦲

Every time I get my hair cut, my wife calls me "jarhead" and asks when my infantry is shipping out.

DIVORCE

6, 👏🎊

Jody call

And the woman who cuts my hair is a total goth/metal freak. Super into White Zombie -- and she now also cut's our daughter's hair.

*cuts

the failure of the other 99 %

Risky

Jim, yeah perhaps. that would make sense

Not every hair gets cut quite the same.

Peas out, BCNU!

all my previous interactions with him were great so it caught me off guard

Roffle, woahhhh deep

Peas are lovely on the menu #6, be well.

Hey Mike! Top show today, thanks a million you made my day, catch you next week.

DJ MikeLupica, many thanks for another Great Show! Kind regards to you, Sir!

See you all in the soup

Great show. See ya Boss. Have a great day everyone

Thanks for all of this, Mike!

Bill Hicks!

Death?! IN THIS ECONOMY??!!

He died without regrets as far I could tell.

Later skaters

A funny death is a good one.

thanks, Mike--Happy Anniversary!!!

Thank you!

Oh wow, Happy you with over time sir! Just sayin...
