WPRB Membership Drive show tonight!


Ok, everyone. Tonight is the night. We’re going to all help make WPRB history.

Starting at 7:00 pm ET, I’ll be hosting a special five hour show for WPRB’s first ever Membership Drive. There will be lots of one-time specialty gifts available only during my show, from DVD box sets (“Freaks & Geeks,” anyone?) to signed records (quadruple lp version of “Daydream Nation” autographed by Thurston Moore and Steve Shelly of Sonic Youth interest you?), plus brand-new live performances from…

The A-Sides, Jennifer O’Connor, Adam Arcuragi, Steve from The Swimmers and other surprise guests. Jennifer will even be playing covers in exchange for your pledges!

The entire show will be made up of recordings that were engineered at WPRB. It is an evening of exclusive performances that you can’t hear anywhere else and that wouldn’t exist without WPRB, just another reason why WPRB is unique, providing 14,000 watts of free form community-supported, community-created radio.

also…

IF I CAN RAISE $25,000 DURING THIS SHOW, I WILL ADD A 25TH HOUR TO MY 2007 24-HOUR XMAS SHOW. Donations to aid WPRB’s operating costs can be accepted at http://pledge.wprb.com or by calling 609.258.1033. While WPRB is located on the Princeton University campus, the school does not provide WPRB with a single dollar of operating support.

WPRB has never attempted something like this before, and it should be a crazy night.

Please make sure to mention my show when pledging.

…If WPRB was the first place you heard your band on the radio.

…If WPRB has ever played your request for a song you couldn’t find anywhere else.

…If your band has ever played live on WPRB and gained new fans in the process.

…If you’ve ever won tickets to see a show (or ten) on WPRB.

…If WPRB was the first place you heard your band played on the radio.

…If you’ve ever stayed up all night listening to WPRB’s 24-Hour Holiday Radio Show.

…If you ever let your car idle waiting for a DJ to finish their break.

…If WPRB is the only radio station that comes up when you Google your old band from twenty+ years ago that you see is still playing your songs.

…If WPRB has ever helped you track down that out-of-print record or helped you find a band based on a lyric you heard while tuning in one day.

…If you’ve enjoyed any of the 200+ live performances on WPRB over the past five years.

…f you’ve ever encountered unfamiliar music on WPRB that has since become one of your favorite things to listen to.

IT IS TIME TO DONATE!

Thanks for listening,

Jon Solomon

Jennifer O’Connor plays covers for pledges.


See the nice lady above these words? Her name is Jennifer O’Connor and she had a record out on Matador last year that was one of my favorite releases of 2006.

Jennifer will be coming back to WPRB on Wednesday, October 10th to play live on-air during my 2007 WPRB Membership Drive show. She and I were instant messaging yesterday and Jennifer said she would be happy to try and play a slew of covers in exchange for listener pledges during this special program.

However, Jennifer needs some advance warning to try and learn these songs!

So…

If you pledge $103.30 at pledge.wprb.com, you’ll not only get a WPRB shirt and your choice of tote bag or hoodie, but you also can ask Jennifer to play a song for you. Make sure you contact me about what cover you would like to hear.

She’s game.

I’m game.

Are you?

Yrs,

Jon Solomon

Ps. Anyone want to pony up for Jennifer to cover “The Death Of Pop” by The Rub?

The 2007 WPRB Membership Drive.


Starting on Sunday, October 7th at 7:00 pm ET, 103.3 fm WPRB will be holding its first ever membership drive. The drive will run until Sunday, October 14th.

Wednesday October 10th will feature a special five-hour edition of my radio show show starting at 7pm, with live guests The A-Sides (Vagrant Records), Jennifer O’Connor (Matador Records) and Adam Arcuragi (High Two Records). I promise to have surprise guests in store, too. Here’s the big news: If I can raise $25,000 during this show, I vow to add a 25th hour to the 20th edition of the 24-Hour Holiday Radio Show on Christmas Eve.

WPRB operators will be standing by at 609-258-1033 to take pledges during all hours of the broadcasting day. Listeners can pledge with all major credit cards or with PayPal using pledge.wprb.com. Show your support for WPRB’s unique and varied programming.

Thank-You gifts available to pledging listeners can be seen on pledge.wprb.com and were designed by Ed Moorman (edsdeadbody.com), Greg Pizzoli (doctorpizzoli.com), and Tim Gough (timgough.org). Special premium gifts given by over 25 record labels, distribution companies, and artists are available to listeners who pledge with a credit card at specified hours which are to be announced over the air only. Specialty gifts range in value from $5 to $200 in retail value.

Founded in 1940, WPRB is the oldest college FM radio station and can be heard on the airwaves throughout New Jersey and most of the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The station’s Board of Trustees decided in 2007 that a membership drive was needed to strengthen the station’s future. Though located on University property, Princeton does not directly fund WPRB. Donations pledged during this drive will be directed toward station operations. The staff of WPRB hopes the annual membership drive will increase support for independent radio in the community. WPRB can be heard on FM frequency 103.3 in the Philadelphia area and throughout New Jersey, or listened to worldwide via wprb.com or iTunes Radio.



Interview: Government Issue


This is a May 1989 interview with Government Issue on WPRB, recorded on the eve of what would be the band’s final show. GI is interviewed by Eddie Mosh of the great hardcore radio show “Decline & Fall.”
