Happy Anniversary!!

Hi, Liz!! Thanks so much!

Great to be a part of the PRB fam, of which you are an important member!

Epic start with this Michiyo Yagi piece! Missed you the other night at Nomad Pizza! I headed over there after my show and caught up with Tim, Dan R and Mike. It was already 8:30 at that point!

oh yeah I know you have your show so it is hard to be in two places at once.

Glad you like the Michiyo Yagi!

It’s tricky (to quote Run DMC). This Thursday is the Sweeping Promises show and I love their music, so I’ll see it if I can make it back to Philly before they go on stage! I’ll probably miss Mesh and most of Zillas on Acid during my drive

I'll look for ya!

I'm going

I’ll be celebrating the next big Doubleplusgood anniversary (25 years) during the Spring drive most likely!

doors open at 8 so I think you have a fighting chance to see SP and maybe another of the bands.

@Esoterica - Should be a great show!

oh yeah

ah the mighty Swans, nice

yes, mats!

Howdeeee peeps 🐥🐥🐥

wipeout beat! (puts on ultrathin New Wave dayglo sunglasses, shifts clutch -- remember clutches?)

jimboooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Howdy, jimboooo!

yes mats - super thin

super dayglo

spiked fingerless gloves, collar up

gets a meal at Taco Bell for $3.16 and is super full

Oh I drive a clutch

gets in a fight with Billy Idol

jimboooo what!! I miss clutches.

the punk rock turning point

Fun, but annoying at times. Taught one of my kids to successfully drive stickshift

WHOA TEN YEARS YEEEHAWW YOU THE BEST

Congrats dj! GUMPTION! That's what ye have, is gumption and dedication!

congrats! you deserve a pork roll with ten candles!

jimbooooo nice, I learned to drive on a clutch. Good skill.

Aw, Thanks Erica! Yeah, the final Halloween in the old studio went out with a bang!

dj Killbot wazaaaa

Hi Mats!

the mighty scrapple

Pork Roll > scrapple! (Not a big fan of either, TBH)

woot woot happy anniversary erica!!! big love from all the bacon lovers in philadelphia!!!

Maybe you need to make it cali style. Add an avocado to the pork roll

ween's "porkroll egg & cheese" song on The Pod is a banger

My pledge is in the mail.

Thanks, Dustin!

@Esoterica - You’re in Pork Roll Land right now! It’s made in Trenton!

Hi Travis!

right, liz!

i love both but i’m from new jersey so im biased

6 pound tube of porkroll from Case, at Costco. Basically a weapon of mass destruction.

Scrapple???i tend to stay away from foods with the word CRAP in their names

haha carlols

Carlos! Forgive my many typos

Carlos LOL

scrapple has crap and pp in its name

What about shitake mushrooms, Carlos?

Congrats on 10 years at PRB and all the SoCal tales you tell back in the day. Hope to say a quick hello to you and PBR gang on Thursday nite!

turn up your receivers bbs!!!!! #milestone

My maternal grandmom loved all the weird local meats. She was a German immigrant and I think scrapple and pork roll reminded her of Germany’s various schnitzels and sausages. I just cannot shake walking to the [unpleasant to me] scent of scrapple cooking in the pan whenever she babysat my brother & I overnight.

yeah for HBODS too! @Dustin! Thanks for the shoutout

Killbot, the SCRAPPLE CHILDHOOD HORROR !

Hey IConJohn! Thanks!

Hope to see ya there

Travis…the mushrooms are fine with me..during my working career i compared myself to a mushroom..kept in the dark and fed shit

Scrapple Childhood Horror needs to be a grainy, greasy, grindhouse movie. With a trailer with a deep voiced narrator.

Pork roll with a fried egg on English muffin is a once every 5 years Jersey shore breakfast for me. Used to get it at the Chicken or the Egg in LBI,

haha. wounds like a great lifestyle!

hahahah mats

the best in the biz 😘😘😘

:) awww man

Pork roll? Excuse me, TAYLOR HAM

@Mats Sabbath sez pledge - Scrapple could and SHOULD feature in a horror movie! And I suspect its ingredients are akin to soylent green

"ham"

jimboooooooooo nooooooooooo

"ham"

Don’t do it, jimbooooo! You don’t want this fight!

STAND DOWN JIMBOOOOOOOOOOOOO

lol

Jimboooooo throwing down the meat gauntlet

Look, I’m mostly vegetarian, but last I checked, ham does not look like a bright red plunger!

Ham doesn't usually appear IN A SOCK

maybe some fine smuggled jambon do appear in a stocking

Love this song (generally the Patsy Cline one but any version will do)

yum jamon!

jamon de serrano! from spain or portugal, now we're tawkin jimbooooo

hey Zach - oh yeah that is a nice version

waza Zach !

Any oldheads remember Cope’s corn, the corn pudding the Amish markets sold along with scrapple? My mom remains loyal to Cope’s. I used to just skim the creamy part on top off as a kid and eschew the corn chunks on the bottom, but all in all, it’s pretty gross.

Used to bike by Case, Taylor, and a third pork roll purveyor regularly in Trenton and WHIFF ☠️

A few years ago my son was in Spain and gifted me a shirt with the Ramones logo but it said JAMONES and listed the Spanish ones

Killbot CREAMED CORN FROM THE SOCKET OF DAVIS

jimboooooo that smell is intense in the Taylor hood, houses are cheap(er) LOL

Is this haunted Surf Rock?

Carlos yessssssssssss

haha love it, Carlos! I once dj'ed at a bar in Madrid in 1987, an impromptu-like and pronounced the Ramones Los Ra-mohn-ays

@mats..great cover on that album

@jimbooooo - when I had a free place to stay in Madrid with my good friend who’d moved there, I was fully vegan, which was not an easy thing to be in Spain in the 90s!, and everyone loved to taunt me to go try the Museo de Jamon! Ham Museum is more fun to say, though!

not easy, liz!

Esoterica, that's absinthe territory! The real stuff. With the wormwood innit.

Killbot, have you heard Solomon's "spanish crustpunk" tale? It's hilarious and queasy.

oh yeah - I mostly had beer, wine , sherry and port

@mats - all deish

dish! would have loved some absinthe with the wormwood. does it make you trip tho?

KIRKWOOD BROS. IN DA HAUS TURN IT UPPPPPP

YEEESSSS

@Esoterica - for real! Were you studying abroad in Madrid? I went to a lot of club nights there but there were still a lot of clubs very entrenched in the 70s and still a lot of discos! I found a good twee night though!

all the way up

Eso, I had a trippy experience with real czech absinthe. Driveway turnt purple, Einstein was in a tree. Thujone is the active ingredient.

@Mats Sabbath sez pledge - I have not heard said Spanish crust-punk tale…Intriguing!

Killbot, it requires a strong stomach, but is hilarious.

@Mats Sabbath sez pledge - By the sound of it, it may make me blow Cope’s corn chunks.

LOLOLOL

@Liz Bot I was there for six mths in 1987 my junior year

Me encantaaaaaaaa Madris

Madrid

@Esoterica / @Mats - A bar [that recently shut down for good] across from my favorite old movie theater made a great “corpse reviver” I’d like to get before movies. I suppose I’ll have to resort to getting some absinthe and making it at home

Corpse Revivers yummmmmmm!

Congratulations Esoterica on 10 years! It's always great to hear your voice and insights on the greatest radio station ever!

yo, bob! Thx!!

I appreciate you

@Esoterica - Nice! Haha, I didn’t do JYA, I just crashed at my friend’s places! My friend who did JYA in Barcelona moved back there from Philly after graduation for a boy, he pretty much immediately broke up with her, and she wound up teaching in Madrid for the ensuing dozen years, so I visited her a lot and got to know the Chueca neighborhood very well!

Lizbot if you could make absinthe that'd be rad. Wormwood grows wild in some areas. Key ingredient, and of course anise. Moonshine! 'SintheShine.

SING IT DJ

oh no! Liz about your friend, but sounds like all was fine as it turned out.

Your cracking me up Eso!!! 😅😂🤣

Hi! Inspetor. My singing will do that to people.

Inspector

Sounds Gerate!

Bulletproof Nothing!

such a gem

this song

@Esoterica - Same friend ended up marrying a Basque guy. Booziest wedding I have EVER been to! They served drinks before and DURING the ceremony! A friend’s Finnish boyfriend crashed through a decorative screen

Lizbot I made Strawshine once with gleaned strawberries from PA. And supermarket yeast.

haha poor Finnish bf

@ Mats Sabbath sez pledge - oooh, that sounds good as long as it’s tangy and not too sweet!

Lizbot, the Fins will do that. Viking ancestry.

Ty Seagull !

Had basque neighbors in Laguna Beach LOL

Happy 10 Esoterica! Pledge pledge!

@Mats Sabbath sez pledge - He was a Finnish metal head named Nupi and his partner was pregnant so he announced he would not be drinking in solidarity with her. Fast-forward three hours…

NUPI

Lizbot, was Nupi into reindeer-grinding black metal from the frostbitten realms?

Hey Esoterica! Was that you at the pizza place? Someone was DJing and I didnt get to say hey but we all took that fun photo

I loved the Museo de Jamon in Madrid! (bar/restaurant, name translates to The Ham Museum). One of many places that had the big ol legs of Iberian ham hanging up with the yellow plastic conical grease cups attached to the bottom. Deep maroon/wine colored ham. Studied in Madrid too, summer of 1991 for about 2+ months.

GREASE CUPS

@Esoterica - the wine was SO good in Madrid! I ate a lot of tortilla española and champiñones at bars and restaurants because those were often the only option when I was still vegetarian in Spain!

I was by no means complaining about The Duprees, btw

@Lizbot, we were in Sevilla in March, the Spanish wine is definitely underrated

Brian D that reminds me of the baby prawns in District 9 being fed beef juices in a shantytown shack.

Hi Brian D! Ham Museum still haunts me! My cheeky friend bought me a deck of Iberian ham playing cards in Madrid!

Hi Zach - I’d love to go to Sevilla! I don’t normally drink much wine, but I drank loads in spain!

there's a great movie free on Tubi called Mutant Blast. Very fun and humane. In portugese.

portugese sounds like slurry spanish LOL

Oh yes we did say hi, and I heard your off-air name and completely blanked that it was you! That was such a fun time, and a whirlwind of fun people

(drunken slurry)

@Mats Sabbath sez pledge - I always remember the name of Finnish Nupi & partner’s subsequent baby because he was named the very metal MAXIMUS

Lizbot yessssssssssss

Anyway, you can imagine all the good things I would have said. You rock, thanks for everything!

prawntological grease cups, sabbbath

What I mean to say was Something Wild! (Demme)

The Feelies are in Something Wild (1986)!

great movie

awesome, thx, tyler

@Tyler B - I missed almost everyone at Nomad, including you and Esoterica, because I couldn’t head over there until after my show ended and by the time I closed up the studio, it was 8:15, so I got there at the very end of Tim K’s DJ set. I saw some photos after the fact!

we missed you, liz!

@Esoterica - I love Something Wild so much. That movie had a huge impact on my mid-Atlantic Jersey / Philly / NYC childhood and The Feelies made for a perfect road movie soundtrack!

jimboooooo prawntological!

liz bot - it does go dark with ray Liotta tho - lol I love

One of my movie lists is "dysfunctional families" and Demme's Rachel Getting Married is in the top 5.

@Esoterica - Something Wild is one of those movies that shaped my idea of what New York was. That and Susan Seidelman’s Smithereens and Desperately Seeking Susan (she was from Philly but went to NYU where she started her film career and my mom was from Philly and taught at NYU so I used to hit up record stores I saw in those movies!) and of course After Hours - So basically your standard zany misadventures in condemned warehouses in the Lower East Side type of movies! With good soundtracks!

if memry serves, Ween stole a snippet of Robyn Hitchcock for their song "Alone" on The Pod. They cop to it. Fairly sure about that but always a lil fuzzy.

IConJohn I love Rachel Getting Married

THE DAMNED

mats I didn't know that!

@iConJohn - I love Rachel Getting Married. More movies like that, please!

what about after hours and NYC, liz?

The Damned are mentioned lovingly in GREEN ROOM.

@Esoterica - haha, see my screed below! Mentioned in there! I wrote that whole thing and accidentally deleted it and retyped it during the Hitchcock snippet!

https://ourfriendben.wordpress.com/tag/copes-dried-corn/ amish corn puddin recipe

cool, mats!

yes now I see it, liz!!

Buzzcocks!! Dj Jen was my Buzzcocks mentor. I learned much about 'em, on the best radio station to learn stuff from! WPRB

Demme - Seidelman - Scorsese : The Holy Trinity of directors with early/mid-80s New York downtown screwball comedies with epic soundtracks!

Did i just hear the S word??

Carlos: SLAYER ?

fukn SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYER

Bet some mummies would fit this set well!!

@Mats Sabbath sez pledge - There’s a whole song about corn pudding in the Cinco Paul/Julie Klausner parody of musicals show Schmigadoon! And let’s not forget “Jerry Likes My Corn” from the insane musical adaptation of the Maysles Brothers’ doc Grey Gardens!

and BOOTY CLAPPIN BASS BEATS TO ROCK THE BARRIOS OF RIO

@Mats Sabbath sez pledge - These are merely the corn-themed musicals I’ve actually seen. I am aware there’s entire musical called Shucked entirely about corn, but I fear it.

Lizbot nice! I just went down a Beyond Vaudeville and Mtv Oddville rabbithole last night!

Lizbot let us not forget Erik Estrada eatin creamed corn straight from da can in a Butthole Surfers video!

Erik Estrada post-CHiPS career: Butthole Surfers video. Chupacabra Alamo CGI movie. Namechecked in MANDY.

@Esoterica - Re: The Troc from yr earlier mic break - It was one of my favorite venues ever for so many reasons - proximity to many trains, right in Chinatown by a ton of great pre-show restaurants, great bookings, memories of friend’s bands playing there, myself and other Sugartown DJs DJing the Balcony Bar upstairs and one time Ari Up from The Slits joining in! My mom remembers it as a burlesque house, which it was for a long time early in its life. It makes me so sad to see it just rotting!

omg ari up, liz??!! so cool

The Slits!

Liz… a few troc memories. You probably didn’t see it, but there was a trough in the men’s room. First place I took my kids to see real concerts in either first or second grade. Son, the Aquabats. Daughter, president of United States of America. I remember being in the balcony when somebody held up a lighter right underneath one of the fire spri

Sprinklers and order came out and got soaked with it and who knows how long that water has been in those pipes

Liz/Esoterica The Troc, when Angelo of of Fishbone was blatantly hitting on my GF before the show! (1993?)

Carlos Lol! The piss trough at Eli's Mile High Club in Oakland CA is legendary.

what, IConJohn. musicians lol

@esoterica - She was so cool! I’m glad I got to meet her and see her play with the slits when they reunited. When she died I went up to NYC for a tribute Kathleen Hanna and Ana da Silva and Gina Birch from The Raincoats put together for her. The Raincoats covered Slits songs and Kathleen joined them on stage and DJed. It was a really great tribute

@iConJohn - hah, my husband loved and saw Fishbone a lot in the 90s! I wonder if he was at that show?!

Liz, And of course Angelo climbed up to the balcony.

I remember a fish bone show at the troc with NOFX.. It felt like the floor was shaking so many people jumping up and down.

@Carlos Ramone - Oooh, I heard about the trough…and I can swear I even caught a whiff of it when walking by the men’s room!

@Carlos Ramone - yikes! At least those sprinklers worked!

yeah yikes, Carlos!

Carlos those are the best shows Had that happen at a haus show with Diesel Dudes in Oakland. House with no plumbing LOL

@Carlos Ramone - When my daughter was little she loved the original incarnation of Yo Gabba Gabba tv show and The Aquabats were frequent guests! One of her first shows was The Dead Milkmen at the Troc!

happy ten years DJ Esoterica!

Hi!! Russell! Thanks so much:)

Lizbot yes! My boy's first show was Flipper.

Russell, thx for the sound bite!

@Carlos Ramone - The Dead Milkmen always used to do their Halloween shows at the Troc. Those were the most crazy drunken DM shows, and yeah, I remember feeling like that floor was gonna give out! These days the DM do their Halloween shows outside in Laurel Hill Cemetery and I go when I can. Also, so many bands climbed that balcony! It’s amazing more people didn’t get hurt but it was great! I loved the Midnight Movies there in the balcony too back in the late 90s/early 2000s.

dj these soundbite 10-year shoutouts are rad

britpunk luminaries!

@Eso - Is there gonna be a list of every shoutout? I hope so!

thx, mats!

I will post one! liz

I just emailed folks that I had contact for.

@Esoterica - Excellent!

@Esoterica - You should make a supercut of them!

Good idea! @Liz Bot

dj, do a supercut and slip in Cronos yelling YER WILD MAN WIIIIIIIIIILLLDDDDDDDDDD

hahaha you crack me up, mats!

WPRB FOREVAH

FOREVAH like he said!

SIR CAN YOU PLEASE DESCRIBE THE RUCKUS - John Bender, Breakfast Club

@Eso - My mom and her Jersey neighbor friend / record dealer love Ben Vaughn! She’d get a kick out of hearing him on PRB. Maybe she has the station on right now!

there is a Ben Vaughn - Ween connection too if memry serves

the mightiest of the tighty whitey undergarments, WPRB

“Empty-bunned” sounds like the burger slipped outta the roll!

haha I hate when that happens!

Watt’s rambling storytelling style is entertaining though!

Eso, I interviewed Les Claypool by phone in the 2000s and it started off horribly, like really bad, but we were tightbros from waybackwhen by the end, since we both love Mad Max 2/Road Warrior in the theater.

@Liz - I didn't know the Raincoats were in NYC in 2010. I did see them at Maxwell's the day Kurt Cobain died.

nice! sometimes it happens that way:) mats

crazy to hear Watt's voice! San Pedro, Ca!

Pedro!

double nickels on the dime deserves to be in the Voyager gold record

I swear I just heard a turlet flush

one of the best albums

Eso I love when that happens interviewing musicians LOLOL

yes it is entertaining liz!

TURLET. South Jersey shout out! NJ aint nothin without South Jerz!

that's sweet, liz! @Eso - My mom and her Jersey neighbor friend / record dealer love Ben Vaughn! She’d get a kick out of hearing him on PRB. Maybe she has the station on right now!

the Deep South begins in South Jerz

mats - ben vaughn produced twelve gold country hits

@eso - He’s jumping all over! It’s almost free association but it all ties together! I met him a couple of times and he seems to always be ON

yes it does tie together

we had the CREEPIEST PITTSBURGH turlet in my Bergen County house I grew up in. (shudders)

MARLON BLANDO

lol

MARLON BLANDO AND THE BROTATO CHIPS, band name

Haha, now he’s on to Rocky Horror! Richard O Brien doc about the history of Rocky Horror is worthwhile!

yes and history of glam

Marlon Blando & The Pun Rocks!

Eso this is crazy. When I interviewed Claypool he talked about Rocky Horror as well. Lol!

haha great name

Lizbot haaaaaaaa!

Hey Es, happy 10th!!! 🎉🥂

Tandy, hi! Thanks!

*TAndy

ugh punk rock spitting. Matt Pike of Sleep/High On Fire spits like a motherfucker. I saw deftones in 1994 and the guitarist spit on the singer as a prank.

WELL SAID MIKE

ugh

Haha, I happily got a lotta bruises at Lightning Bolt shows when I was young, but I have no patience for getting kicked in the head by crowd surfing dudes!

well said

you are right mats

Hi TAndy!

now he is assessing jersey

love it

Hey Liz!

Lizbot Lightning Bolt! Those early LB shows were nuts. No stage.

A stage musical version of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan comes to Philly this weekend. I saw its run in NJ. The villain is played like Tim Curry's Frankenfurter instead of Ricardo Montalban's Khan.

David S nice! Star Trek 2 is basically a horror film.

LAMBERTVILLE BONER BAR

yeahhhhh Lambertville!

I bought rusty boltcutters from a woman on the street in Lambertville for $3. Still have em and use em. Prized possession.

"Carry boltcutters." - life advice from Werner Herzog

COOKS ALL DAY WHILE THE COOK'S AWAY/ CROCK POT !

@Mats Sabbath sez pledge - Yeah I love how Lightning Bolt always set up at the back of the room on the floor! Everyone in the crowd became one undulating shoving mass!

@David Shortell - That musical sounds memorable!

yes yay, lambertville, Zach!

I can't believe I mispronounced Leipzig

the home of rusty boltcutters

Lizbot I love how Lightning Bolt dont decide on tempo until the drummer starts spazzing out and the bassist just adjusts

Zach haaaaaaaa

LIEPZIG shoutout! The Liepzig Crazies

LIEPZIG - and i misspelled it

also it must be said that Lightning Bolt owe their existence to the mighty godheadSilo

I seriously respect his approach to collaborating with other musicians

wow, that is horrible, Liz.

@Esoterica - I had seen Jarboe perform a couple of times post-Gira breakup and she had a lotta Swans gossip, but the main story I remember wasn’t directly to do with M Gira but with a bouncer who didn’t believe she was in the band and kicked her out of the venue when she tried to come back from getting food after sound-check and before the show began! I guess he thought she was so sort of goth groupie?! I would be so pissed about that if I were her!

how was she performing, Liz?

Jarboe

wow, David, that wrath of khan musical sounds wild

Panos Cosmatos has a great story about seeing Wrath of Khan as a kid.

SARTRE shoutout

yes indeed

Gira read Being & Nothingness! What!!

yup!

https://sidequesttheater.com/show/khan-the-musical

@ Mats Sabbath sez pledge - so good! I had an interview lined up with the Brians of LB after a Melvins / Lightning Bolt show on my birthday but I had a party planned afterward back at my old place in South Philly and the Brians were backstage hanging out with the Melvins and kept being about to be ready to do the interview and I finally had to bail because people were literally locked out of my house calling and calling asking when I was getting there!

https://khanthemusical.com

Sartre took mescaline and had lifelong flashbacks of lobsters following him.

@Mats Sabbath sez pledge - (this was like 2005 or 6, Starland Ballroom)

Lizbot what! Rad! The Brians LOL. Them artschool kids.

I dont take Sartre too seriously, knowing about his lobster fixation.

Sartre in Zippy: https://i0.wp.com/arnoldzwicky.s3.amazonaws.com/ZippySartreXmas.jpeg

Eso you went deep with Gira! Nice.

Zippy the Pinhead!!

I tried:)

I think it was Alfred Jarry who walked a pet lobster.

TEN BAMS FOR YOU ESOTERICA!!! BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!!!!!!!

Lololol

oh chit never touch a biker's bike

aw thx, chef emeril!

But Sartre's "The Condemned of Altona" did concern crabs.

Chef! AMISH CORN PUDDIN UP CHEF (ding)

def do not do that unless you are sonny in a bronx tale

@mats

Hunter Thompson got stomped by multiple bikers in strange little Cloverdale, Ca.

In the jammed crowd at Altamont, the bikes were bound to be touched.

yeah that book hells angels is so good

David S, Sartre was obsessed with crustaceans. Crustaceans, the OG crusters.

true what a tragedy altamount

@Esoterica - Did you just bring up City of Quartz? Read that for an urban studies class.

Donald Sutherland played Homer Simpson.

Altamont

Aw thx, liz!!

double DJ super show! the mighty Killbot and Esoterica

Then 21 years after "The Day off the Locust" played in cinemas, Donald acted in "The Simpsons"!

wow, thx, mats!!

oh yes, david

@Mats Sabbath sez pledge - You must have a really big pile of sofas!

I had fun trying to keep up with the chat!

Lizbot I get sofas from the BACKROOMS

Mats' sofa picture reaction made it to a Running Redlights flyer

On insta

The androgynous boy stomped to death by Homer Simpson in that movie was played by Jackie Earle Haley.

Zach haaaaa! Crom powerviolence fans are crazier than the band itself.

ha! love it

David S excellent lore!

There's a band named after Conan's god?

@Mats Sabbath sez pledge / @David Shortell - I made a newish station ID a couple months ago with a snippet of Conan dialogue. The part about the “lamentations of the women”. Went to a ridiculous amusement park special effects live stage show of Conan the Barbarian in the late 80s, I think ar Great Adventure
