Pretty good signal via the Fair Hill, Maryland, SDR ...

2252 UTC: "Oh Sherrie" by Steve Perry.
2256 UTC: "Glycerine" by Bush.
2259 UTC: Transmitter hiccuped off for a moment then returned.
2300 UTC: "If You Leave Me Now" by Chicago.
2304 UTC: Male computer voice saying twice "my speaker amplifier is overheating," then "Road to Nowhere" by Talking Heads.
2308 UTC: "Mambo No. 5" by Lou Bega.
2312 UTC: "Baby Don't Cry" by INXS.
2315 UTC: Sounded like an OM voice in there just before and during "If You Leave" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD).
2319 UTC: OM saying something as the song ended, wrapping up with "... all major credit cards accepted. Thank you." That was followed by "Live to Tell" by Madonna.
2325 UTC: "The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley.
2329 UTC: OM speaking again during the music, maybe with a shout-out, then "You Belong to the City" by Glenn Frey (back-to-back songs by former Eagles).
2334 UTC: OM talking during the song, but not understandable.
2335 UTC: "Love You Down" by INOJ.
2338 UTC: Short transmitter hiccup off then back on.

Thanks, Pirate Radio Pittsburgh, for the music on this snowy afternoon here in the Pacific Northwest!

SINPO=45454

2313- "Baby Don't Cry" by INXS.
2315- Deep, slightly muffled OM voice saying something briefly, over end of song.
2315- "If You Leave" by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. (2316- Same OM voice, over music, saying "Sassy, sassy, sassy," I think. And later, same OM voice at 2320 with HFU shout-outs, adding "...accepts all major credit cards, thank you.")
2320- "Live To Tell" by Madonna.

Very happy to have caught your maiden voyage, PRP!

Via a recording.  35454 at 2230, but 35453 later as the noise picked-up.  Bandwidth seemed to be 2800 Hertz.  Pleasant listening.  A few short interruptions, which I presume are what the YL who gave the ID was referring to.  The tone of "My speaker amplifier was overheating" was reminiscent of Stern Radio.
