Princeton Is Burning

Jon Solomon

I'm not sure whether newspapers can have sister stations, but we think of WPRB like family around here. Aw. It's true, the free-form commercial-free radio oasis up there in Princeton does so much we like — especially on Wednesday nights when Jon Solomon keeps score at home.

Solomon — who hosted CP's Local Support podcast, back when we could afford such a luxury — is always turning me on to new music, and setting aside blocks of time for in-studio live sets by artists from the Philly-NJ-NYC area.

Tonight, WPRB starts its annual membership drive. I recommend you tune in — Solomon goes on at 7 p.m. with guests/music by like Obits, Jennifer O'Connor, Danielson, Screaming Females, The Spinto Band, Caterpillar, Bitter Bitter Weeks, Rebecca Gates and Tim Midgett — and consider sending some money to keep the station rocking and pick up a sweet t-shirt.
