Let's go AWOL

Hey Mats! Thanks for joining!

I been AWOL since 1973 and have no plans to return. WPRB forever. Soundin good, dj!

Creep in the Cellar! yesssssssssssss

Yeah, I thought that would be a fun Halloween adjacent song!

Love the Wilco Krautrok moment. Love it when the power chords kick in soon....

Always a great climatic live moment in the shows

I haven't seen them play in so long. I bet they still put on a great show!

Yes!!! Saw a rager up in Bethlehem a few months back. Most intimate little outdoor show. Steelstacks is a great backdop for a show. The old Bethlehem Steelworks is behind the relatively small stage. Basically you park and walk up a city street and there you are. Barely any security. A long "Evening With..." no opening act show. They did it all. Loud ones, screaming effects, southern rock 3 guitar epics. So much fun!

Amazing! I gotta try to catch them when they are in the area again. That Bethlehem show sounds really unique!

Wow 22+ years since Ghost is Born

Yeah some Pink Floyd cover band should do a live performance of the album Animals at the Steelstacks outdoor stage. Would look great

Time really flies! YHF is 25 years old now!

Brian, great idea. Mickey and Aaron of Ween covered Echoes once-- they should reunite and do Animals at Steel Stacks...

Ty Segall! He and I went to same high school, though years apart. We be proud of him.

Oh that's so cool!

Fantastic set so far, dj!

Thanks so much Mats!

Love the Halloween spirit.

speaking of Twin Peaks, Kyle MacLachlan's (Dale Cooper) memoir is amazeballs. I cried at the end.

I saw him interviewed on the Daily Show. He's so cool! I'll definitely check it out thanks for the rec Mats!

The Cramps! If I could only take one band to a desert isle, would be them.

I def need to check them out more. They have a huge catalogue!

Did you catch Miriam Linna's show on WPKN yesterday? Commemorating her old band's 50th anniversary (their first show was November 1, 1976), the several guests included Lux Interior's brother Mike and Bryan Gregory's sister Pam Blam--who was the Cramps' drummer before Miriam!

David S wow! DJ, check out The Cramps at Napa State Mental Hospital. Yes, The Cramps played a loony bin once. It's documented on video.

Pam Blam !! We need more female drummers. Awesome, David S.

Miriam's show rebroadcasts tomorrow at 8 PM. https://wpkn.org/

Thanks for the tip David!

@Mats that's really cool that The Cramps played the Mental Hospital. Reminds me of Cash's prison performances!

Exactly, dj.

Miriam already archived it! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/kicksville-23/id1851489997?i=1000798597590

ah the mighty Joy Division

dj, another banger set! yer on fire dude!

Ugh guys Patrick Stewart died

Zach, I heard. Bummer. He was so good in ST TNG, Dune, Green Room. Saddened by the news.

He was a voice of reason in crazy times.

Sad to hear that, he definitely seemed like a cool dude. Amazing actor!

TNG and XMen. Great actor, better person.

ah that's right! He is amazeballs in Logan

Patrick read the Green Room script, had a strong drink, and put his house's alarm system on. Rattled him (understandably).

I know him best as Sejanus in "I, Claudius".

David S nice! Helluva shakespearian actor.

Star Trek: Acid Party is also a fun one.

Also as Captain Ahab in the two-part 1998 TV movie "Moby Dick".

oh chit! the mighty Moby Dick. That novel was written longhand (!).

Da Boogie Man! https://www.indiewire.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/sinister-2.jpg

Hell yeah!

DJ you knocked it outta the park. Many thanks. WPRB is da best.

Thanks for tuning in Mats!

Walter Koenig "Ensign Chekov" just passed earlier in the week eh. Rough week for the Trek universe

Big trees falling, tis sad.

Like 2015, when Grace Lee Whitney died shortly after Leonard Nimoy.

Thanks for tuning in everyone!
