SMOKING

Please save any and all meltdowns for 5:01 pm ET.

I can make it to the finish!

This is like a metal symphony

@zach 100%!!!

they are amazing

HA! if this is the end, I want it to be with 2 hours of music I love.

What other radio station will you hear Radio Birdman? Love it!

exactly!! welcome, @thomas!

tell your friends!

I always do that’s how I found out

OUTSTANDING!

hi jen!

hello, @andrew!

how goes the rock shows? I remember last week that you were seeing something great. maybe the sweeping promises show?

Hello Jen! I ate pizza for WPRB. Plus I'm a monthly donor. I'm doing my part

@marcus, you are a hero! that's is so great to hear! I heard you met Esoterica?

Esoterica is awesome!

Good afternoon

1000%!

howdy, @carlos!

Saw multiple chatters last night and on Monday for pizza. Excellent week and we're just getting started.

I will always eat pizza for WPRB

Jon, how was Sweeping Promises?

Did LDP play Phat Beatz?

Did you play Habibi Funk? So many questions

wish I'd been able to see SP! they are always so awesome.

Sweeping Promises was great. I did play one Habibi Funk record and LDP's sets were aces. They got to DJ in front of the absurdly long merch line after. Talk about a captive audience!

go, LDP!

All three bands ruled, actually. Loved seeing Zillas on Acid transform from DJs to a double drummer experience.

Good to see WPRB representing

LOTS of folks sporting their WPRB gear at the show.

AWESOME!!!

next time a family photo is in order!

Jon, someone took pics at Nomad. Do you have them?

Let me link to what I saw.

I believe this is what you seek...

Fantastic Jon!

Always a party at WPRB

THE BEST

you guys, it's already too fun!

pledge.wprb.com!

we have sweatshirts!!

LDP played a couple of bangin' sets last night!!! gonna have to start waking up earlier on thursdays

sorry I missed it!

This show takes me back to when college radio was amazing in the early-mid 80's

@mark good news is that great radio still lives! thanks for listening!

Heard that band PISS a while ago on this show and I was so surprised by them. I used to be a bouncer at the infamous City Gardens back in the day so I got to work with, meet and see all the great bands. Great times

oh right on! perhaps I passed you in the door many moons ago. the PISS full album is out now!

Speaking of the drive, is there a new station location situation yet?

I know, I need to secure a copy of that. That woman has a Henry Rollins intensity that is amazing.

not yet, but we're actively scouting locations. If you know any wealthy people who want to support indie arts nonprofits by, say, buying a building, we are all in!

@mark I listened once and loved it

SUPER intense

College radio (WRSU as well as WPRB) was apparently unaffected by FCC restrictions in the 80's.

ha! punks indeed

TRENCH is another band that I heard on your show and I tracked down a pristine 7" that the song you played is on. A 1995 release I believe...ALLIED recordings

that was before we upped our wattage considerably so maybe felt a little safer to flout the law...

Frankie is my favorite new band. So bummed I missed them last year. Hope they come back soon

@mark WOW, I'm impressed you found it!

@thomas and they are KILLER live. I bet they will be back soon!

Unfortunately all the rich people I know suck

@zach hahahaha

Let me know if you need the other tracks from it. I wprk on campus

@zach, then we'll do it the old-fashioned way and ask regular people

thanks for offering! I have the 7" but love that you liked it enough to track it down!

Good music is hard to come by now. So, when I hear something that is worth hearing and buying, that is what I do. Thanks for restoring my faith in hope....Ha

i love it! this is why WPRB exists!

you are so welcome!

There's nothing more fun than discovering amazing music.

second = buying it ;)

I might have to pull this one for my DJ night on the 21st...

which one, jon?

I think Frodus's cousin is Bilbus.

This thing on the 21st, it is local?

At Records Forever in Philadelphia! Free with complimentary beverages!

(The Ex)

sounds SO FUN!

@david HAHAHAHAH

Jon's DJ night will be a blast!

I love complimentary beverages…what nice green eyes you have..did you loose. Weight?

The Ex record pulled.

I'll be hyping it more next week but here are details...

https://www.instagram.com/p/DfZ97rWxDUZ/

@carlos ha!

@ Jon duly noted I shall be tuning in

Thomas this is IN PERSON.

you get to DANCE WITH JON

but mark your calendar for Jon's 25-hour holiday show!

Oh I thought you were on next

Carlos Lol

but Myshka, also spinning with Jon on the 21st, is up after me!

geez, @mats, about time - I wanted to thank you for inspiring the graphic for this show.

So much spinning it’s making me dizzy

Jen haaaaa I couldn't find me glasses, love

I am...apparently seeing Rye Coalition in Philadelphia tomorrow?

🤩

@jon WHAAAAAAT

I saw a video of them playing a Numero show on the street in NYC, died of jealousy already.

Clamm yellin like Simon Crab from the Bourbounese Qualk, dayum! Go Jen go Jen

They're playing some festival at Underground Arts I was invited to by old pals who are on right before (or is it after?) them.

Jon, I told Andrew P to find ye at F U Church and demand the spanish crust story AND an impression

@jon please inform them that the left coast is still chafing from missing them about 20 years ago... @mats HA

@jon that lineup is VERY WEIRD

I heard WPRB is presenting a Slippers show in Frenchtown tomorrow.

the CATS of wprb! They listen too! Cheers, cats!

David, you hear correctly.

https://studioroute29.org/events/slippers-hop-bj-armour-sarina-gullia

Jon I went down an Uzeda rabbit hole last night, love dat band.

mats, i forgot about the Spanish crust story

dj Jen bringin the intensity!

too many modelos at the taco joint

Andrew P LOL

sounds like a '80 punk record

i hope rye plays a few more shows! haven't seen them since 99

SAME!

Wankers! Yesssssss helicopter blades.

🤘🏻🤘🏻

Andrew P I been there. Yum tacos! Da best.

great GNW pick Jen! battlezone song

However, tomorrow is also when Radiator Hospital and Noun play at Wild Air Beerworks. (There's also a few good acts at the Melting Waves Music Fest, but I can't stomach the modern "Asbury Lanes".)

@mats it never ceases to please me

There it is.. YE OLDE PUNK ROCK BEAT SHALL NEVER PERISH

long live NBT!

Is this old school punk or just sounds old?

thomas 1992!

Never heard of New Bomb Turks but sounds good

I remember hearing a radio announcement of the New Bomb Turks' breakup as I was leaving Randalls Island after the conclusion of Little Steven’s International Underground Garage Festival (August 14, 2004).

Jen re nonstop music LOLOLOLOL. I have a tightbro from waybackwhen who does music 24/7.

David S good memory! Wow!

Neil Hamburger told a story about a car he had that had a broken tape player that would play but not eject a Kenny Rogers tape.

Eric Davidson must've moved to NYC shortly after. I'd frequently see him at clubs there (and once at the Film Forum).

David… did you see the lineup for Stevens underground garage boat cruise??

@thomas they are an older band and timeless, I'd argue!

(and no longer together)

@mats I have karp in the stack over here!

this russian circles song is similar in a totally good way to Zombi's Siberia II, whom I hear is playing with Sleep

KARP! the mighty Uncle Joe Preston

Russian Circles are rad

@thomas I love them so much

@mats right on! I need to check them out

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fmusic-is-the-best-thing-humans-ever-made-v0-5ohpqknuusv51.jpg%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D8ae7652e8b7dc0e6de606a346dd5d52cebcf7e79

hahahahh

I definitely needed like 4 hours for this show

MM! Red Bank NJ shout out! Cool town.

local heroes

thought we'd summon DJ Mike L with this one

I think they can hear Dave Wyndorf's cosmic howl in the Int'l Space Station

This is a great "is Nicole listening in the car" test.

Lupica will come with the Karp

hahah not sure i can fit karp! it may work!

MM's Superjudge is so good.

YUMANS yesssssss

i am a huge fan of Monolithic Baby! too

those Wright Bros on the loose!

Love Rob Wright's canadian carney barker baritone. SEE THE GEEK! SEE THE CHICKEN!

that would be a great concept album for them

friend reminded me the other night that we saw Hanson Bros together, and now I am wondering what happened to my T-shirt.

also: pledge.wprb.com

please chime in!

No, Carlos. As for the 2004 Fest, I briefly heard Nancy Sinatra as I missed the entrance from the Triboro Bridge and wound up in Queens. When I finally got there, I saw the Raveonettes, Bo Diddley, Strokes, New York Dolls and Stooges.

John loves to antagonize his brother Rob by wearing a MOM LOVES ME BEST shirt as much as possible.

Jen, Hanson Bros cracked me up live. Ramones love galore.

my kids have loved Humans their entire lives. they would ask for "the monkey song" all the time when they were little

FIND JEN'S HANSON BROS SHIRT, it is scared and lonely

@andrew that is the best story of the day!

Andrew P THAT!

Kids raised on NMN gives me great hope in us.

Grant Morrison created a Marvel Comics character which he named after that Monster Magnet song. Brianna Hildebrand played said character in the Deadpool movies. The day the first of those movies premiered, the Wall Street Journal printed an interview with Dave Wyndorf about it!

David !!

I saw a little guy at the Russian Circles show with his dad, and it also gave me hope for humanity.

The DJ promised Smash Hits and we got SMASH HITS.

CLOGCORE #Crocs

the kids never got to see NMN but we all saw dead bob together a couple of years ago

Andrew P fukn rad

We need more dads like Andrew P.

Apparently I saw No Means No in 1987 with Dag Nasty.

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS_BARXSjZWeknwfU0tLAy1z-T7ksLCOmxg1ODSWL6jeA&s=10

thanks for being here, friends! smash hits!

@mats A CLASSIC

DAG NASTY! Skatelords.

@jon hahahah amazing

@matt.. I have in the past done karaoke of blitzkrieg bop to the Hanson’s version of it blitzkrieg hops… I have to explain myself afterwards.

lucky!

Carlos haaaaa! Never explain!

someone at my work is having a karaoke party tonight. what should i do

smashing good chunes Jen, that's the spirit, thank you dj and thank you wprb

Andrew P the monkey song!

Cool show, but we were promisec flying couches, and all we got was great tunes.

Lol Mike T

flying flannel

Great show Jen!

ya gotta throw your own couch!

Andrew.. do an instrumental from Agent Orange and play the air guitar for it

flying flags of solid black

thanks for not melting down, jen!!!

What's strange is that I remember hanging at the Red Bank comics store in the late 1980's listening to Wyndorf express his dislike for Morrison's work. Many years later (after "Deadpool") the two pose for a photo at NYCC, real friendly like!

Thanks so much, Jen!

Carlos yessssss

David S !!

thanks for being here, you guys! I made it, no melting down. So fun.
