Don't Back the Front Fri Oct 30 with Dana K on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

mischief night 😈

Heyyyy Dana!!

Hi Alan!

Come one come all to the radio show

Dana! Through Being Cool are we?

Rotten eggs R us!

Dana: Been a real bad week for Trekkies...

AWFUL week for my people

Walter Koenig, Patrick Stewart...

Hey

Hi Steve!

Hey all

I think they will be embraced and loved wherever they go Alan. I just think that.

Welcome, Zach!

Heya Dana!

Roffle!

If you haven't seen this, maybe after the show, it's been out a while, Trek Tribute.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wcwHd_OTi4&list=RDcABJKo9uqbI&index=10

..and Hi to Roffle !

Hi everyone!

Big Rob!

Hi Rob! expert Birder..

I refuse to cry for them after a good life result. I really prefer to celebrate it.

We alla re going there...

howdy! ready for goth halloween 🎃

With Patrick Stewart I read it was after a brief battle with Alzheimer's and Lewy Body dementia. In which case it was a blessing, honestly.

Hi Richard!

@ RofflelectricDyslexia: I'm with you on that, best to be remembered..

Yes! Leave with some faculty

What a coincidence: I have BADD COLD tattooed on my knuckles

Devil's Night

You looked fine last month! lol But you probably don't remember me, when I felt like crap. Silly world.

U2? Whazzat?

Let's toilet paper Dana's house for Mischief Night while she's at the Barge.

Flu...Oh Krap!

These guys are from England and who gives a HOOT

I'm a Sisko guy.

He's finally enjoying a book on the shores of Risa.

Sleev

@Roffle you were at the Memorials show right?

Yoooo!

Hi Tyler!

I sat in a lab at the University of CalPoly and watched the first next gen with the nerdiest people ever! It owns my heard. RIP mon capitaine

Read that in Q's voice...

The episode after Picard was rescued from the Borg is one of my favorites. The one with his brother at the family vineyard

Owns my heart

That one's definitely going on my list for tomorrow. Other suggestions welcome!

Roffle, you from Cal Poly? That's Weird Al's Alma Mater

Hi Dana, thanks for toughing it out to be on air! Can't wait for all the fun events upcoming

Thanks Tyler! Soooo much going on.

@Marcus, CalPoly SLO. I love SLO!

I was just a weird resident. lol

Sorry to hear about your awful sick week Dana. Glad your feeling better and looking forward to an edgy dark show tonight!

Thank you, John!

I'm glad I got through that mic break without coughing

Cough buttons bloom!

Dana, we're sorry you were sick and we wish for a speedy recovery! <3

Mute is your friend

Thank you, Rob! I already feel a lot better than I did earlier this week.

And since you've got the microphone to broadcast to hundreds of thousands of listeners thanks for for referring to tonight as "Mischief Night" and not what any other area may call it.

I was an adult when I realized that other regions didn't have Mischief Night

Dana: Walter Koenig has a pretty funny and good part in "Star Trek IV The Voyage Home" would recommend that one..

Voyage Home is my favorite Star Trek movie!

@iConJohn, That is the nomenclature from my part of NJ as a kid.

Dana: the "Nuclesr Wessels" etc..

1980's Punk Rock Götterdämmerung

You can watch Kirk die in Generations...

That's what they called this fatalistic style that replaced the anarchy of the late 70's

@Steve Keane, they got that one wrong! lol

Steve: But it seems that they keep Kirk alive in a parallel universe....maybe..

I knew "Nuclear Wessels" was going to be the funny thing as soon as I read Walter Koenig and The Voyage Home in the same sentence.

Alan gets the square!

@Roffle Isn't it called Devils Night in other areas? Or just not a thing anymore? Or do we see Mischief Night every day/night of the year now?

There are also punks in Voyage Home

Or a punk, rather

Spock: "I see, the Greats" :LOL

The punk was also the associate producer.

I am selling coffin nails next week. I think I am gonna make bank at this rate of stupidity. Perfect season for it.

If y'all haven't been on the WPRB website recently I have a little piece up: https://wprb.com/whats-on-my-shelf-dana-ks-post-punk-and-uk-diy-7-crown-jewels/

Including a very flattering photo of myself

I always forget to listen to 1919. I should do more of that.

@iConJohn, I guess there are many names in many places. That seems wide open. :)

Just read it. You're a good writer.

Thank you! Means a lot

Great article. Learned a lot.

Thank you Stefan!

Good essay!

Dana: love vinyl for the album art, nice!

sending maximum sympathy

what do they call a jersey slide in the midwest ? genuinely dont know

NJ is a "Special" child of America.

I actively suppress my Jersey accent out of shame.

BLUE TSUNAMI can't wait.

:taco: :taco: :taco:

I'm PROUD to be from New Jersey but I might only be saying that because I moved to Philadelphia

Evannnn

My mom talks like a Jersey City Jew. I sound mid-Atlantic. Always have, I might have been homogenized by PBS.

Dana, do you consider Men Without Hats "Antartica" goth?

I have to admit I've never heard that song

Thank you for your service. (Salute)

Hi Fran!

I don't think I have an accent. What do you guys think

I mean I obviously have an accent, everyone has an accent

One time I was in line at the deli with my mom, behind this lady who said "oh look, they have dried sausage" in the thickest tristate area accent I ever heard. Me and my mom both snickered. But now my mom talks exactly like that. It grew on her and I fear that will happen to me.

Cupcakes were brought - but you were out sick, and cupcakes were refused. Sadly, I was forced to eat them myself.

Oh no! Not the cupcakes!

Yes. Sad but true.

You are quite mid Atlantic sounding Dana. Do you order a soda or a pop?

A soda. I had a Minnesotan ex who drank pop...

You know! lol

His parents sounded straight out of the movie Fargo

Dana: ex-girlfriend once said I have a Philly accent, said I run my words together I said "Whaddaymean"??

Too funny!

Dana, how are you able to know and access virtually unknown bands and records from the 80s and 70s? You've gotta be under 30. I was into the punk/underground scene at the time yet I never heard most of what you are playin!

In college, in the 80s..., I learned the Haddonfield NJ accent for a news broadcast class, as it was considered the least accented English in the English speaking world at the time.

I'm pushing 40! And...well, the internet.

I'm in Haddonfield/Collingswood now

Dana K has the best ear in radio

Ah, internet. What's that?

Dana: sure don't look like no forty in that photo tho..

It's this newfangled technology!

I lived in Collingswood. Cool town. I found a cool Ultraman toy there in the 90s.

Haddonfield! Yea, I lived in Glassboro for a while and went to HS there. They speak Philly accent big time.

I spent a lot of time in Collingswood as a teenager, would catch the PATCO there to Philly. But I haven't been back in a while.

10 minutes from Haddonfield.

When folks make money in Phila, they move to Collingswood with accent in-tow

Dana is mistaken for my daughter when we're out there in the accursed world. Probably because I'm one of those people who looked 50 when I was 20

@Ed Jones, they destroyed endless acres of peach trees to make a bedroom community for Philly there in my part of SJ after I55 went in.

Meanwhile I was told at a Wegmans when I was 25 that I couldn't have any cheese samples unless I had a parent present

You should called me

I will meet you there and say I am your estranged dad any day. lol

I'll help anyone scam some cheese

I was an adult!

But my first thought was "My parents aren't here, how do I get this cheese?"

What was your solution?

I told her I was 25 and she was embarrassed lol

..worst thing for a guy is to have some chick say "Please don't touch the merchandise SIR"!!!

Let there be chese! lol

..when you get to THAT age..

I told someone recently that I'm not in the army so they don't have to call me sir.

Steve: I like to say " I've never been Knighted"

Rest assured there are plenty of peach, cherry, apple trees south of Glassboro

@Steve Keane, when I disrespected someone in the military I called them by their rank, never sir.

Steve:...but Elton John was, first time a Queen knighted a Queen..

Pepper, tomato, pumpkin, corn, soybean, asparagus fields too. They have to have them in the Garden State

Iggy Pop almost beat Elton to death at a Stooges shower in 74 (ish).

Asparagus fields I have seen in central WA. They have them here too? Good!

Dang that Iggy/Elton story is crazy. Had no idea. Almost as wild as John Lovitz beating the shit out of Andy Dick.

South Jersey Accents Tells: Water, Radiator

There's a Stooges/Miles Davis/Miles' cocaine story.

I lived in TX and WA and CO and CA. My accents are as confusing to me as anyone else. But my underwear has no particular preference so far.

When I was a kid we wandered through apple orchards in Clayton gathering asparagus that grew in the spring amongst the trees

Edible asparagus is the young shoot before it matures into a woody plant. They are perennial

In Germany they cover it with a mound a dirt and it grows into white asparagus

Hammonton NJ is still the blueberry and cranberry "capitol" of the US

When I die throw me in the cranberry bog

@Ed Jones, I would wander upon old homesteads in NJ and find abandoned crops from 100 years ago. That is disappearing everywhere.

They do the white asparagus mounding here too. You have to mound to get good leeks too

Squash plands the dear would take bites out of.

The old homesteads are gone as land has grown in value. And as people flee Philadelphia to buy houses in South Jersey

https://youtu.be/UWWLwtMLWCI?is=KelDH7XIVSbh--bK

Sorry. That's important.

The cranberry bogs are flooded only during harvest time, so dress well as your body will be visible most of the year

It seems this new fangled internet thingy is good mostly for bikini photos and cat videos

...and rare punk records from the 80s

My internet is almost entirely cats.

I got to be Punk in the 70's, but I preferred New Wave due to the stupids.LOL

What the funk is up folks?

Big Jim

beeg jeem

Knup life

Are you going to play the March Violets?

Don't have 'em cued up but if you have a song you want to hear by all means request it!

Children on stun

I'd like to hear "Flat of Angles" by The Fall but I'm not sure it fits this format

evening scary dana bash the front!

They opened for King Crimson when I saw them. I remember liking them

Dana, Halloween is the only holiday affiliated with Satan, who gave us Rock and Roll.

And Satan loves children.

I knew playground bullies with the devil on speed dial!

Just like Gamera.

Hell yeah sax post-punk. Maximum Joy all the way bb~~♡(°•☆•°)♡

You get it, Anna!

Ugh this is phenomenal

I was playing this at the record store earlier this week and a customer actually recognized it as Drowning Craze

This is really from 1982

Thanks Dana!

Did that customer then buy Fleetwood Mac Rumors?

Danceteria First Floor

Good tip. This comp came out in 1993

It's spelled RUMOURS, Steve

Records Forever 2nd Anniversary RAGER this Sunday 11-6pm! I will be DJing 80s indie pop from 2-3

Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

Just to remind you Pretty Poison covered No Tears by Tuxedomoon

Oh wow they did?!

not a request

That will be relevant later though.

They were goth back in the day

I've heard one of their early EPs. Not bad.

Good evening

Hi Carlos!

Men Without Hats tried to go Goth with "Antartica" but they wouldn't quote leave synthpop behind

It's two genres fighting inside one song

I have a 90's synth. Very cool, but why would anyone want to sound like the 90's is sorta dopey.

Hey Dana, would any of the wacky goth the Damned did fit in here or is it too goofy?

THE WHIP

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I might be able to fit some in

Watch me whip

Let it whip - dazz band!

Whip Appeal

Da Whip

Babyface

lol @ Spinitron tagging the Glorious Din as being on "Murder Dog Magazine"

God turned out to be rather goth. I mean look at the churches and the weirdo Gregorian stuff.

I know you are short and what you look like.! lol I live a rich life!

Haha Yoni I didn't even clock that

Big time hip hop magazine of the 90s run by Murder Dog aka Eric Cope aka ???

lots of hip hop heads have no clue about his post-punk past

but there was no crossover in terms of who put out Glorious Din albums in the 80s. And I'm pretty sure they weren't repressed until recently, right? So definitely Spinitron pulling out FAKE NEWS

Very limited reissues in Spain ten years ago

Of that album at least

I just looked up Glorious Din, never heard of them but yup, he'e a Hip-Hopper, Punk Rocker. That's my sttez

steez

Not Murder Dog. Black Dog Bone. That's his real name

In the 80's Hip-Hop and Punk rock were like brothers

good lord yesss this rn

da1

da!

Chicago's own!

This band is so cool

That Belgrado was so cool!

I prefer earlier Belgrado. Their more recent albums are a lot more synthpop, which is fine, but eh.

DK, the GOAT

Glad you got better enough to be on the air tonight. Lots of soup and sleep for you

But you play the best of stuff, and man I do appreciate it. You go off the chain, but that's fine too.

Me too! I'm going to be out next week too so the thought of being away from the radio for three weeks straight was too much

THIS.

Brains!!!

🧟🧟🧟

🎷

like redead zombies (legend of zelda) that paralyze you with their ear piercing scream!!!

Forgot to say hi to you earlier Ossy, hi Ossy!

Redeads used to TERRIFY me as a kid

As the Zombies say in the movies, "MORE BRAINS!" Love this holiday!

Brains are optional these days me thinks...

Yoni where are you

This is another band I associate with Yoni

😋

Banger upon banger 💥💥💥

Bangerama!

Yes hello

Red Temple Spirits

Rad Temple Spirits

Ok big hit coming up everyone lock in

SoM or GTFO

Flame on! = The human torch from the Fantastic Four

That was fair enough! Thanks Dana. See you around shortly I guess? Be well, I hope you have enough eggs to ever express thyself toward your foes on this magickal night upon their houses. Be well!

On the west coast…good to hear most of show without falling asleep..

Sweet socks scary nightmares dana after your safe long journey home

Dana: Thanks for the Edward Ka-Splel track, and the show.Take care, get Well & bcnu!

DBTF just crashed out

This is not according to my calculations at this time....

I have a maths book

Oop! Gotta get Mike on the task

as long as it's not the funky drunker song

what was that last song you were going to play?

Nick Cave Mercy Seat!

Please go listen to it!

Alan, Drummer dude makes a living here on royalties! LOL

Another fantastic show! Bangers start to fnish

Thanks Dana, see you there where ever that is..

There's the mercy. How odd!

This is curious

I love curious

Totally banging curious here!
