Music

Shake off the week, oh Righteous Ones! It's everything from Acid-Folk to Ziglibithy. Light the candles, drape your scarves; this is your time! I bring thee ambient, Afrobeat, international, Tuareg, Tuvan throat singing, queercore, gnawa, pop, disco, post-punk, jazz, soul, R 'n' B, obit-core and more. Opportunistic singing-along with your DJ is de rigeur. Your lagniappe: historical perspective, social consciousness, irreverence.

Celebrate Bofill, Chance, and the birthday of the Gay Rights Movement.

Nice to be be back, missed you guys!

This Paul Beaubrun piece is freakin AMAZING 😍😍😍😍

I love it too, TAndy - the new album is great!

Wishlisted! Gonna need to give it a good listen later

Glad you like it!

This as well. Just nonstop jams from ya every Friday evening 💙

This atmospheric Pablo's Eye is another fave...gives me an early Pink Floyd-esque vibe

Hi Readie and Righteous Chatters!! HAPPY FRIDAY all !!!

Thanks, TAndy! Glad to have you on board!

Hi Alan! good to see ya!

Ur so right about this! I knew I felt something familiar about it.

Paul Beaubrun and Pablo's Eye!!! Off to a Tremendous Start!

Hey Alan!

Glad you approve, Alan!

Hi TAndy!

Lots of good new stuff this week!

Spacey, Ambient without boredom...Nice!!

Can't wait for the new Sonny Singh coming in September!

Great for Friday Groovin'....

Oh yeah!

I just want this track to keeeep on goooooing!

Readie: BTW many thanks for the TMWIR updates.... also Thank You WPRB for your FM signal, just flip a switch!

Okay!!!

(Had some trouble with the laptop last week..Whew!)...all good now :)

You are welcome, Alan, and glad the laptop is all better!

Love the doombia! I was so close to playing this song on my set this morning but ran out of time. Glad I get to hear it on the air waves still!

Hey Jt Reiss! this is so great! Couldn't resist! Glad you dig it!

Sup JT!!

Bass is insane

Is that ur MX-5 in the profile pic?

Is that the Atco Speedway in the pic JT? 😛

Hey tandy! And yes that is one of ‘em lol. One of the cars in the picture isn’t mine but I do own two of them as well an 86 body style Toyota Camry. I mentioned on air today I was looking at a 4th car which funny enough is another Miata……

More like the dominos parking lot speedway readie xD

All RIGHT! Cool, JT!

When I first moved to jersey I delivered for dominos in my Miata haha

Always loved the MX-5

You're the fkn man JT

...cars can be addictive for sure...wish I had that DeLorean from Back to the Future... do some time travel on the side..

I wish I had a Lexus GSF or LC500...

Wish I still had my red Nissan 1984 200SX - what a car

Ooohh love them old Nissans! Cars are definitely an addiction. And I’m a a sucker for the Lexus is300 and ls400

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_200SX#/media/File:Mark_I_s12-200SX.jpg

Readie can you do me a huge favor though! It’s off topic but I ran into a long time listener and contributed of the station, Sasha, today in Somerville at his work and we had a fantastic 2 hour conversation about WPRB among other things. Y’all might have chatted with him before. But if you could, I would like you to shout him out on air and thank him for being so kind to me and sharing so much of his life. I’m so thankful to have got to listen to him today and I know he’s listening right now

Cool!

I believe that Nissan is also referred to as the s12 or the precursor to the popular s13/180sx/240sx. They’re pretty rare now

I own a '77 Firebird, needs a new paint job and some work but I love the Futuristic styling here: https://www.onallcylinders.com/2019/11/14/rare-bird-jim-elicks-nautilus-blue-1977-pontiac-firebird-formula-400/

@Jt- it was also called the Silvia

Wow Readie, you were a live wire with that 200SX!

You know it, TAndy! Digital instrumentation - and she would say "Fuel level is LOW!" or "lights are on"

You’re right! Nissan loved femme names for their cars. The z series cars are also called Fairladys in japan

Cool Firebird, Alan!

Love the firebird alan! I’m a sucker for American muscle and pony cars as well

Readie: Thanks, right now it's a bit like more looking like a "Road Warrior' tho..

Ahoy mateys!

I can highly respect the Z car, shame that it's so expensive now, and with dealer markups. Especially when the 86/BRZ exist. Hey Addie!

Addie!! Hi from me and my Invisible snake..

RIP the GT-R 3 unobtanium even moreso now.

My first car was an 85 coupe deville. What a cool car.!

My first auto was a 1994 Geo Prizm. What a pile that was, I miss it dearly <3

Heya TAndy and Alan! Hello from me and the chickens! I’m in the yard with them.

Trouble is that a lot of these new cars all look like "water beetles" to me LOL

Haha I used to have a 93 prizm. My buddies and I painted at all up before it gave up

I'll never forget driving and listening to the cassette player.And suddenly my tape got really slow and scary sounding, Right before everything went dark in the car

I'm a sucker for the first gen LS400 too. Absolutely beautiful styling on that vehicle.

It was danzig 3

Can't believe Danzig killed ur car

Tyler: I think DJ Lizbot owned a Prizm..

That’s sick! I feel like I derailed the chat to talk about cars now instead of more serious topics xD and geo prizms are the shit. I’m a big fan of “water beetle” economy cars

Hi Readie Rainbow! Yeah, sad to hear Angela's passing. It was a beautuful cute tribute hearing on Wonderfull Butter two Sundays ago, and caught songs of Bofill never heard before, aside from I Try and Sweeter

Like "Baby I Need Your Love"

I can deeply respect the Mitsubishi Mirage as the only true econo shitbox still in existence for now. Shame it gets so much hate. It's just An Car™ for people who desperately need one.

Ugh as soon as the corners started getting round around the edges it was all over. Those boxy cars Are so cool

RIP Yaris, Rio, Accent, Fiesta, and maybe even the Versa at some point.

Love that, Jt- Fairladys!

Hey welcome, Addie!!!! BWAWK BWAWK!

Hi Tyler B!!

Hiya Readie!!!

music made with nothin' but your voice and hands...Love It !

@Alan 😂

Many years ago in college, I took some courses from an ethnomusicologist who had devoted years to studying and preserving the music of the Sea Islands. It's cool to hear it again!

Hiya Ossy - Angela- very underrated and underplayed!

Sounds like Tandy is a fan of dank pods/garbage time with the an car terminology lol

Hey Bud- glad you liked that! It's a great collection - in one track she teaches the audience how to clap "in tune"- it's very cool

Angela indeed underestimated and cute! I wonder if Angela got an Unsung episode, like singer Shannon!

I need to look into that record. He also played us recordings of the preachers who had a sort of talk/sing delivery.

I love the boxy cars - the old boxy BMWs & Benzes

Readie: My Uncle had a white cadillac with fins...back then Rockets and Fins! 1961..

Whoa, that was a BEAST!

@Alan

....and the Space Race...

Yesterday i bought a copy of LIFE magazine's special on the 55th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing..

@Jt - my brother has a 2000 Mustang Cobra SVT - beautiful

He has a couple of pony cars

Cute image of Angela

Happy Friday Readie! Angela Bofill - haven't thought of her for a while - really nice -

True, Ossy! I loved that one of her!! CUTE!

...I still wanna Back to the Future DeLorean with a "Fusomatic" drive, powered by beer cans and other recyclables LOL

Hiya vildachaya1! Glad you like it- more coming! Good to see you!

@Alan - I think Neil Young rigged his car to run on used French Fry oil -or something like that! 😂

Lol @JT Originally an RCR fan but I am also a fan of Wade as well. Savagegeese absolutely warped my perception about cars. Made me realize that I like refinement with decent handling over total compliance or harsh "sporty" feel.

Speaking of which, RCR meetup at Too Many Games tomorrow morning!

Francois 3 .....

@Alan- yep - didn't get to this one 2 weeks ago...love it!

Readie Rainbow - I think I heard Angel Of The Night in Patty's tribute, beauty song!!

SooooBeauty, Ossy! Her voice is sublime- 3 and a half octave range!

This current image of Angela, kinda looks a little like a younger Eartha Kitt. She also looks like Tessa Thompson

True! More Angela coming in the next set!

Yeah, so naturally honeyful sublime like Phylis Hyman and Teena Marie!!!

Minnie Rudolph too!

Yes, Ossy, I was thinking of Phyllis today...

On Patty's tribute of Angela, she played an hour of Tina Turner in the "Gone But Not Forgotten" summer series!! Exploding double!

Wow, sounds great, Ossy! Tina the QUEEEn! Her birthday is same as mine!

OMG, that's soooo legendary!!!

Woohoo!

Heya Readie from a parallel universe! Hi's guys.

Ehhhh, Roffle! welcome!

I heard a little of Tropical Love via IG music selections

Oh, okay, this one feels like Florida to me

Like when it was so humid recently

Yeah, feels like Hawaii as well

Love her voice on this one...so expressive

Humid is what aircon is all about.

True, Roffle

Like Natalie Cole's "La Costa" song (another by the shore sunset and tropical song)

oh yes, sunset colors!

I can sorta even like desert heat, but humid is no bueno.

agree

Night desert winds rule!

That has me thinking Nights Over Egypt - Jones Girls

I swear Ossy, I wish I could hang in the lands in and around Egypt for a while.

Evenin' Readie O'Righteous!

Ebenin' All!

Ah, helloooo, Bo! Welcome in!

Justin Time for the Pride Dance Pahtay!

Missed me chance to hear James Chance ...R.I.P. James and Angela and Arthur "gaps" Hendrickson, (The Selector)😞

Speaking Pride, Mario trans girls! 💙🩷🤍🏳️‍⚧️ https://www.deviantart.com/ryusuta/art/Vivian-and-Birdo-The-Pride-of-Nintendo-1066325998

Cute, Ossy!

Like the cute gloved ghost girl, Vivian! 💜

Hot track this toooo tough..

Told friends of the image of Angela, brings some Phylis Hyman vibes

Roffle - Egypt is a great place to travel and venture there!

Dance with me, WPRB FAM!

Get 🎵 Lost in Music 🎵

🎸🪘

that bass

I am in North Philly on my Chinese friends steps, and all the local folk seem to approve of my radio choices. Lol. Lots of black roots here. Magic.

Woohoo!

Funkay BASS!

Oh yeeea, black gal magic!!

What a world...

Don't get me started Ossy. Lol!

Cece Peniston like Cece Winans 🌈🌠🎵❤️‍🔥

CEEEECEEEE!

Charli!! Plus The Farewell Concert of Frankie Beverly Maze rising up July!

Have a great weekend, Readie! Thanks for keeping me company while I put my wine rack together! See you next week.

See ya next time !! Love you!!! THANKS Jeff!

stay butter, nothing beats the classics and Patty and Butterball, never lie!!!

Thanks Readie! Take care & bcnu!
