"Game One" by gushes. Circuits Thu Oct 22 with Mike Lupica on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Greetings once again!

Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee!

Bonjour, Hi, Holà, Namaste, Mike, pitcrew!

These rock concerts will be the inevitable glorious end to us all thanks for powering through Mike

PREACH IT, THOMAS

@Mike- You are an inspiration to me. Last weekend I went to Weirdo Fest, which also had Modular on the Spot. One of the performers was wearing a WPRB pin. I did not wimp out. I talked to him after the show. He is an avid listener, and I hopefully convinced him to try out to be a DJ!

STREET TEAM

Whatup y'all.

Me, but only barely. Regardless, delighted to see you all here.

Jimmy Bell's still in town?!

Chrissie Hynde's bro blowing free on sax

@Mats, It's like he never left!

Referencing the genre’s you list for this show, trying to figure out if this is Afro Hillbilly futurism or Micr folk turntablism

@Michael, indeed! Lots of amazing Ohio connex on this record.

@Thomas, it's Hillbilly Turntablism Fusion.

Staying out all night really wears ya down when you get older. 👎

As they say, it's not the years, it's the mileage.

Eons ago when I had Lasix surgery, they had something to keep my eyes open, but I'm sure that some type of painkillers were involved as well.

@mok sparred once those gray hairs start accumulating it becomes a dangerous game indeed

I saw JD Pinkus friday, Dead Mlilkmen saturday, emo show Sunday. My arse is draggin

@Mok, you get this week's paper plate award for service.

How about a Zirconium encrusted paper towel holder that was once used at the Barge?

Sold!

*Cardboard tube, that is.

:)

I expect to see you all at the Leenalchi show next Wed 😀

Brogue alert meter alarms are cheerpin like mad lad innit

It's just so dreamy, I could listen to him read the phone book!

I'm going to need the whole song recalculated for metric time. So if someone could get on that stat...

Hahahaha!

Just listen to it while driving on the other side of the road, Brian.

Always a good day when Huskers are playing

Aye, indeed it is. Just wish it wasn't so damn topical.

Oh my f gawd - why is it just about every time I turn on WPRB - I get blown into Shazam this and Shazam that hell - oh but god I do so LOVE this sorta hell - THANK YOU WPRB (you may use this as a red-hot testimonial )

LOL I hear ya. I did see Greg Norton at the restuarant I was eating in w/ a date. but didn't want to bother him. Still wass excited to see him

I could give you a few centidays to get it done but not like a deciday

Song rocked in headphones!

greetings mike and pitcrew

Ok I officially am signing up for the Mike Lupica fan club - I thinks the DJ right?? Bro I like hearing you talk about dad life radio life life life - and GREAT MUSIC - I can’t stop moving tho - help - no actually no gelp

…actually no help needed

Cheers all, glad you are enjoying!

Juana is another of those "dreamy could listen to them read the guia telefonica" voices

Stay unconnected to social media to truly connect more humanly

Co-signed

Ugh I was so locked in I only realized you were on at 12:30 and I missed Les Thugs in the process!

@Jon, unfortunate, they namecheck you like ten times in that song!

Proof that good music can come out of Switzerland.

As a great man once said, wprb.dammit!

I so badly want .damnit to be a top level domain

Is this song about me… lol

Felt like I was just now a passenger in that uber driver YouTuber tiktoker who magically concocts songs about his passengers during the drive

Some durn fine jud jud jud jud riddim geetar playin here

The mighty Kim Kane! He of impressive handlebar mustache.

I remember the Slickee boys. From Baltimore I think

Definitely someplace considered "Metro DC"

And Washing DC. I used to work at the NIH, and I used to see one of the guys from the band working in the library there. Also bought strings fromDave Grohl when he was in Scream and worked at some music gear shop there

Had a great band pracketice last night. Playing in a pumpkin patch on Saturday (this) Oct 24. Noon to 4pm. Nonsuch Farms Rt 263 York Rd Bucklinghamtonshire Pa. Aka Buckingham

@Francis, you remember Smash? (Used to be in Georgetown, now in Adams Morgan.)

Maybee? was there from 88-93 DC was fun Saw Fugazi soo many times

My pleasure, Mike!

What’s the track you are playing as the underlay of your talk…? It’s a vibe

That's a song by Spectre from his "Internal Dynasty" album. Can'r recall the title now, but I thinjk it's on bandcamp so should be easy enough to find!

Apparently listening to Mike Lupica on the decks at WPRB is a newly discovered (at least to me) effective form of brain training - LoveTheYogaGuy 🫡 taking off

@Francis, only time I saw Fugazi on their home turf was with some band called Nipplehead in Ft Reno park. Maybe 1991?

Actually probably 1990 -- that was a Sunday. More likely I'd have been tramping around town on a weekend.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.dischord.com/images.d/photo/image/3113/FLS0369_Natasha_Stovall_880.jpg

July 29. 1991.

Amazing! Super sleuth Solomon.

Fugazi Live Series portal delivers.

On the topic of meeting 'stars' in the wild, when I was 8 (1981), I saw Martina Navratilova at a college basketball game in V.A. I saw someone wearing pretty cool cowboy boots & looked up to say, 'I like your boots'. She was wearing the boots

That rules, Amy.

Nice. Did she say thank you, I hope?

@AmyLee Martina's boots! They will haunt my dreams tonight.

EXILE!

A great song to reconsider poor life choices to.

Yes. She laughed, thanked me, & gave a little chuckle as I scampered off (prob a chuckle of delight cause that's ALL I wanted to say).

Every time I see an unattended minor around this time of day I always wonder why they’re not in school

Omg hi Mike!!! Pure squee tuning you in!!

home schoolin tons of them here in florida

As your attorney, I would advise that you do indeed, go out again, tonight and continue to make bad decisions

Bad decisions create unique experiences

Are they...existing on this plane?

@Kiswick! Ladies and gentlemen and all genders between, beyond, and belabored, WPRB **rRoyalty** has entered the chat.

Well put, Thomas.

Brian, thank you for this affirmation.

* That's "royalty" with two Rs because of course it is.

Whaddup Mike!

Howdy Tyler! You picked a pretty badass song to wander through the doors of the saloon to, so well done.

Thursday afternoon’s the highlight of the week.

Ok here we go: about 34 years ago a station mate recommended the Sad and Lonely(s) but I never came across them. Don’t know why it popped into my head today but holy cow they are very much my shit, by which I mean a sub pop imperial era supergroup

I used to see that Sad and Lonelys record EVERYWHERE and had no idea what it was.

And by "used to", I of course mean "millions of years ago"

Just listened to the album this AM. My buttons sre well pushed.

This Gift Horse record be like the Sun City Girls broke into Kraftwerk's house and went buckwild on their gear.

almost heaven , eh

Camille O'Grady was great.

Yes! Excited to check out more of this -- mostly never released stuff.

Greetings Mike & Crew!

Damn, I've missed some great stuff.

Love it. Tengo in gear. Always reminds me of Val Kilmer singing Skeet Surfin in Top Secret (from the great ZAZ Zucker , Abrahams and Zucker that did Airplane! and Naked Gun) ... First wave (shoot shoot) Don't get tired. Second wave (shoot shoot) Aim higher....kindred songs

📻🎶

No!

We’re doing it again!

Ha! Wilbo played the 99 bottles other day and it makes the work day go by so smooth. Play the whole thang! Yes!

LOL, robots confirm we just lost a huge chunk of online listeners.

Ok I have to say something nice now, loved the long trancy number. Gift horse?

F 'em

Wilbo did this to us recently 99 bottles

Debbie, probably was Gift Horse!

I absolutely stole this from Wilbo.

If you can find Val K doing Skeet Surfing for a future show it's a hoot

In fairness to this version, the periphery of the song structure wanders a LOT, even though the core remains constant

That lil floating chord change at the very end of each line is dreamy. Love it

Yes! Exactly.

Bottles of Beer on the Wall, It's Everywhere

Didn't Chuck Dukowski's SWA once give us a version of this?

where do i find these elusive 99 packs

It's like Ween blew up Jimmy Buffet's Cheeseburger in paradise.

I used to get in trouble singing this at my Presbyterian kindergarten school

In Tennessee cause that was the best school option

@Michael, first SWA reference of 2026, congratulations!

Don't worry, if you're getting restless, there are only 23 minutes left to go.

The fact that the Bandcamp for this song offers an "instrumental version" instead of a "karaoke version"...

LOL

Ahhh reminds me of The Khyber Passv when it had the word Pass still in the name. Glorious Old City Philly bar with a weighty beer Bible menu. Tons of beer bottles on the wall amongst the lovely decades of dust bunnies accumulating more dust on their outer bunnies as you drank....

That Casio-like pre programmed lounge beat love it

Drink every time he says beer

I’m thirty now

Does brain testing require this hypnosis 😵‍💫

*training lol

Almost halfway there!

Zach, that's a lot of seltzer for this time of day.

BRAINS??!!??

Yeah I’m outta coffee already

Do they get a bathroom break?

liteweights can't hang

Put on Glengarry Glen Ross and drink every time they say "leads'

I was hypnotized into Shazamming this 🥴

@Thomas, by this point probably only between two parked cars.

I am cracking a beer. Fuck it.

If you have a long enough line to pass it around, they can just hand deliver to the bathroom

Well done DSM

I may use this in my next yoga class

The instrumental version would make great bed music.

I'm going to get a haircut, back in a bit.

Homer fridge portal option too Zach

Bed music… 🤔

This beats all those Lullaby rock tribute albums

PRB=wprb

No no, these are wall beers, not fridge beers. Nice and English warm.

WPBR

Take one down, pass it around... variant is so much better than "... if one of those bottles should happen to fall.." variant. No one wants to hear about a fallen beer soldier

Especially not 99 of them! Somethings wrong with that wall

Don’t forget to recycle kids!

This is my new favorite song and we got it twice in a week

It really is something special. God bless Wilbo for digging this out.

Cellar temp. Cooler than yer body and mouf (well... Hopefully... some of the bar denizens planted there are filed in the not sure but still serving folder)

Thomas: Poochie sez, Don't forget to recycle kids! TO THE EXTREEEEME!!!

They should be well drunk and hiccupping by now.

I lost my place.

Is the end coming … 15 🤞

How angry would it make people if I accidentally stepped on a rake here in the studio, rake flies up and whacks me in my face causing me to stumble backwards and trip on a bowling ball which rolls into a ladder that knocks a bucket off a high shelf which lands on my head and I accidentally set us back to like 74 bottles of beer?

Sort of like that Gentry's Gin comedy routine.

Physical comedy never fails

I wonder how many takes they had to scrap when recording this.

Yoga guy: Fortunately it never really ends.... as long as the ol deestrib is open

hello hello 👋

Yoga guy you should do that as a wprb fundraiser

Hey Blue... you missed... a lot of beer.

Into the top 10

gotts a cold case in fridge as long as it don't drink it

Lol that was faster than I thought it would take

This beats 1 shipment of dope by several miles.

i’m a lightweight

We are all again here for this moment....

How many seconds does it take to finish a bottle… 🧐

rube goldbeer

PRESS STOP AT TWO I DARE YOU.

One one one one one

Nah the best part of the song is the super long outro

Had to be sober to get to the end

PLAY IT AGAIN

I’m in for the fundraiser I like this stuff support your radio stations!

PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM

Tip yer server

I feel we went through this together thanks to all

You think the party’s over but its not

PLAY IT AGAIN, Mike!

That song is my Lindstrom Drummer Boy. Times 99 millions

play it again, mike

Lots of corpses

play *the song* again

Ya the outro is so wonderful

I dont know... i kept think you would stop somewhere in the

I'd like to hear Yo La Tengo covering it.

YEA ITS A DARE

DARE DARE!

I DARE YOU I DOUBLE DARE YOU

@JonSolomon - wonder if there is a Christmas variation of this?

THANK YOU

somewhere in the middle.....but then i found my self singing along.

I live to serve.

HAAA! LOVE YOU MIKE L!

At least we all know the words now, so we can sing along.

😅😅😅😅

That's freeform!

You mad bastard, Mike. You did it!

WE LOVE YOU MIKE

Amy, i was thinking the same

YES!

I need the vinyl - played it again ✅ but be sure to play it AGAIN at the WPRB Yoga with Beer fundraiser - coming soon

Just remember this come pledge drive time. :)

My wife just told me I need to stop maniacally laughing during her HR meeting

So you can crank that annoyance level up to 10

I 💖 WPRB

Let's all go out for a Diet Shasta to celebrate.

Now I can't wait for that Spanish open the bottle part

99 bottles of eggnog wouldn't quite cut it, I think.

best radio station ever

Yay Hadi!

#6, how about just "99 bottles of nog"?

Am I dead?

Ya Jeanine!

@Jon, yes, and this is heaven.

Great Moments in Radio!

@ c blue - which makes me think of Water Damage also getting in on the Christmasness.

There's quite a few songs on bandcamp starting with "99 bottles of beer".

Haha, @Jon Solomon!

In some of my songs I have casually mentioned The fact that I like to drink beer This little song is more to the point Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow I like beer, it helps me unwind and sometimes it makes me feel mellow (Makes him feel mellow) Whiskey's too rough, Champagne costs too much, vodka puts my mouth in gear This little refrain should help me explain as a matter of fact I like beer (He likes beer)

Modern equivalent of “War of the Worlds” on the radio. The public in shambles. The news is aghast.

I'm side texting with Wilbo RN and he suggested that I play Flipper's "Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" as a chaser.

Play it

War of the 99 bottles of beer.

TOM T HALL ♥️♥️♥️

we are all just a bottle of beer on the wall

Pasa la botella, todo el mundo

"...and this just in...the aliens ARE taking all the beer."

war of the beers

this is forever

99 billon bottles of beer washed up on the shore.

The 10 Hour Derp Song is another candidate... https://youtu.be/nQB4nAjZIdE?is=T-O6Qdwt4FMZBEzG

The playlist is not gonna update itself. 🙃

WPRBEER

Message in a beer bottle.

This is the song equivalent of Herzog's "Fitzcarraldo" in that we all pushed this boat over the mountain together.

99 Bottles of Beer, floating in the summer sky, panic bells it’s red alert, there’s something here from somewhere rlse

I found a Lone Star on the grouuuunndd...

Are these mega-remixes a new thing? This, Orcutt's "Four Louie's" and Lindstrom's "Drummer Boy"?

"reports are coming in... across the nation. They will not wage war if their demands are met."

And now, to further tease out the Werner Herzog / Klaus Kinski theme, I will eat Jon Solomon's shoe.

BUT WHY!

Mike, i’ve been nervous that i am accidentally going to say “WPBR” on my show tn. I wasn’t letting it phase me but then i tuned into your show. are you testing me?

You wouldn't be the first to do that!

Irving? You're in Miami Beach? Go ahead

Waiting for Fred Frith to do a 45 minute version of "Tequila", lol.

Hahaha!

Will the show end before the song?

i’m starting to get it though, first i take one down.. and then i think im supposed to… pass it around?

De-pour-able

@Jeanine, c'mon, I would never do that to you guys.

WPBR 103.3 Bottles of Beer

@Blue, I think you may be confused. Should I start it from the top?

As a kid singing this to annoy someone, I usu lost interest by 90 bottles.

I love the little sus chord before the verse ends. Really ties the jam together.

Thank you because you would have to finish it next time

The person who wrote this song had no idea that people would proceed to go for 198 bottles out of sheer camaraderie.

Ahhh DJ McSweden deserves a mention for the PBR mentions

And someone else would dare you play it AGAIN.

Wait...what are the instructions? I need clarification.

Where is McSweden?

Christopher T: that is the clincher... the rug that really ties the room of the song together

Mike, yes sorry can you repeat from the start? i’ll take notes this time

This song should come with one of those IKEA printed instruction books that features chubby/naked Scandinavians drinking beer.

Quite a few musicians apparently took part in the making of this.

god called said ur dillutin his influence

Amy, i think it involves beer bottles on a wall and then we like do something with them

I wonder how this would go over in an interrogation situation

Hiccup

werner herzog eating a shoe... as a fellow german i approve

I had exactly ONE beer at last night's Juana Molina gig and this song is making me feel like a chump today.

we all did push the boat indeed

Hadi, one of my favorite movies.

i still have to watch it ngl... herzog is the only new german cinema director i haven't delved into

but im a fan of him hes fun

Some great harmonies in the 30s segment

You can buy the individual tracks for $1.50 each, or the whole album for $10, go figure.

I have had zero beers in… 42 days and this song makes me feel nothing! Nothing I tell you!

In case anyone is into data, he's clocking one beer every 16 seconds.

Dude I love this radio station so much. That was the best thing ever. Running it back. I was in the car screaming. I was like let's f****** go.

Bravo Michael!

im so glad mike did it

I briefly forgot where I was, and by that I mean what planet I am occupying.

double time!

i entered another plane of existence and almost crashed my car roughly 20 minutes into this track

GREAT SCOTT

THIS IS HEAVY DOC

ayooooo

still gonna ty on a load

I tell people all the time they need to listen to this station, and this is going to be the given example going forward. This is electric.

Speed limit five beers per minute!

Arab Strap told us all about this time stuff early on in the show. All full circly

Only 1 person has bought this album so far.

@Jon - you're in the multi-verse.

Double time kicks ass

It really oughta get put on the playlist twice!!

Told ya ! You would have to cheat

Big cheers to you, DJ MikeLupica! 🖤💀

yaay

i feel transcendential

@Jeanine, if you'd had almost 200 beers your math would suck too!

iF YOU'RE SUPPLYING THE BEER - you can play this all day long...

Mommy I don’t feel so good now

We're all gonna wake up tomorrow singing this.

Make a beer float.

The new earworm.

this is probably what plays as you approach the gates of heaven

This has been unbeerably good

True. It would only take one for me tho

You did it! A great wprb moment

i don't want it to end

Since in heaven there is no beer.

Mike has 'crafted' a new definition of Happy Hour...

One more time!

Good job everyone! 👏 🍺 I need to lay down - savasana 😴

I'm not going to lie, I had an annoying morning. This last hour of broadcast has reinvigorated me. It's time to attack the day. Let's go dude.

we did it joe!

But why!?

That was glorious!

That was epic

Bye!

Let’s find a coworking joint that plays WPRB OUT LOUD - I’m in 🙏

Gorgeous outro is now show outro

Thanks for another fine show, BCNU!

Thanks Mike {burp}

10/10 Will Recommend

Great show!

Thanks Pitcrew!
