My #radio assistant Percy. On #WPRB last night. I'll be on again Saturday 8-11pm esstern!
Soundtrack: Cocanha, Los Sara Fontán, and Tarta Relena - El trap de la passeta
#WPRB
i decided to do a theme and promised to do it during a mic break on my fill-in show last night and then i realized i ALREADY DID IT! this barely ever happens! but whatever. the theme is TEENAGERS and i'm gonna do it again, there are so many songs about teenagers, they are a staple of the genre of rock. and the last time I did it was 9 years ago so i've learned about a lot more music since then.
requests welcome, tune in 8-11pm eastern this Saturday on 103.3fm or wprb.com

The gauntlet has been laid down by Uneasy Listening's Western Mass sister show Poison Ivy of the Mind so I will be doing a theme this week: songs whose titles are full sentences! 8-11pm eastern this Saturday oh hey it's February 14! S I'll probably play huggy bear too. On WPRB 103.3 FM https://www.wprb.com
i should be picking out the last few songs for my #radio show tonight (#wprb! 8-11pm est! 103.3fm! wprb.com!) but instead i'm listening to this completely unplayable-on-the-radio song. #chumbawamba-related, natch.

Hey it’s winter break and as usual I’m on the #radio a ridiculous amount! Here’s the schedule for the next week on #WPRB, 103.3fm or wprb.com. Requests welcome for any of these!
Tomorrow, New Year’s Eve I’m on 3-5pm eastern playing SONGS TO DANCE TO for all your afternoon dance party needs. be in bed by 9! Happy New Year.
Thursday Jan 1 I’ll be on 7-10am. Right now I’m thinking about doing a totally ephemeral show (you miss it, you miss it, no recording) with the theme of songs that go OH.
Saturday Jan 3 is my end of the year show, 8-10pm I will play one song for every theme I did this year, 10-11 I will play my last(?) bit of favorites of 2025.
I’m still really slow to get shows online, sorry, hopefully in between prepping for all this radio this week I can get up to date on that.

Where else than #WPRB — NJ's only radio station — could you tune in for a three-hour all-Star Wars show on May the 4th?
@glecharles @Daojoan That is AWESOME.
#WFMU is one of our local #NJ stations, along with #WPRB! My fave station online is #KEXP
And we are going to go to the #PrincetonRecordExchange to build back the collection, slowly.
Super interesting archive find from DJ Commie Francis: Evidence of a late 70s DJ calling himself "Johnny Roxx" who hosted a late night show on WPRB called "Crest of the New Wave".
There were definitely some outlier hosts playing punk and punk-adjacent music on the station circa 78-79, but for the most part WPRB was still pretty prog and AOR-focused at that time. And while the idea of a rogue DJ with a punk show isn't so unusual, the evidence offered by a short archival ("3 AM closing") mic break found on Reverb Nation reveals that he was going *much* deeper than the standard Sex Pistols/Buzzcocks fare. (He backannounces tracks from Teenage Jesus and the Jerks and the Desperate Bicycles -- both extremely fringe acts at that time, whose records were not widely available or easy to come by.) Listen here:

The WPRB fossil record has very little info about Johnny Roxx, apart from this most excellent photo.
Now on the air: Jon Solomon's most excellent 25-hour holiday music marathon on 103.3 WPRB and online at https://marathon.christmas/
Happy birthday to WPRB, New Jersey's ONLY radio station! (First came on the air 12/15/1940.)
Unsurprisingly, https://c.im/@mlupica is way too cool to post an article in which he is quoted, but I'm not: https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/12/princeton-features-wprb-community-radio-station-away-music-explore #wprb #nj #radio
