Helloooooooo

hello!!!

Sparklesynths ✨

Bring on the space vibes!

💙💙💙💙

Hello Anika!

Hi TAndy and Christine! What's up!!

✨very sparkly today

Ooh, this is a nice version of this song.

Hi Anika, Christine and TAndy.

Sounds like a good track to roller skate to 🛼

Absolutely🛼

I need to learn how to roller skate

I'm loving how well the start of your show flowed into the end of Hanna's show

Pillow Talk, cover of Sylvia Robinson from the 70s and I hear that sometimes on WDAS's Wide Wonderful World of Butter! 🌙 💛🧈

This has got me dancing in my office chair

I think it's worth it! You have to experience gliding along to great music like this. Mirror ball!

This is definitely mirror ball music

And Silk Sonic's cover of Confunkshun's Love Train!!

Weird transition sorry! Minor mic issue

Mirror ball music!!!! <3

No worries 💙

Sounds a bit like the opening of Goapele's Closer 💛🧡

I don't know that song! What is it?

Oh my god this is fantastic

💚🌿

Maybe if I played this for my houseplants they wouldn't die

Do it

Closer is one of the neo soul and rnb songs, from the early 2000s. It's a undeniably beautiful and dimensional song :)

Also, love these video game, space sounds. Lovely blend! 💚🧡💛💙💖

BB64!! 💙💙

I feel like this show is gonna lead in perfectly to From The Notebook soon

I will listen to Closer Ossy💙

I've been getting so into from the notebook lately

@ Anika (host) I loved "Music to Soothe the Savage Snake Plant" by Mort Garson -- both the composition AND the title! :-))

Be sure to listen to SLOP tomorrow if you're not busy too, similar vibes.

You won't regret it, Anika! The Summer Connection of Auras!

I'm going to stop flooding chat with my track reactions, just assume I'll be going 🤯💙 for every song henceforth

🤯💙 :D

@TAndy, is PAX subbing for someone tomorrow? Falling asleep listening to SLOP is something I aim for every Wednesday.

Also, how is it that your cat avatar seems to groove in time with every song?

Technically, she's on tomorrow at 3am, PAX, which most of us will be in bed.

@Christine you're right! I forgot that she's Wednesdays now. The old schedule is still fresh in my mind hahah

Kitty Craft, just fell for her Faultered song, played on Dylan's Saturday show and its a perfect fit of this weather!

I meant the good ol PAXbah days. Pool-PAX?

@Ossy, true! I forgot about that 3 am broadcast.

Pool Pah with Pax and Paige! The two Ps!

I like pretty, spacey music

🪐🥺

The Psychologically Ultimate Seashore is a pretty remarkable title.

I listen to that track every night when I fall asleep

It is lovely!!!!!

also good mic break music for sure

The slow jam R&B show I had my first time slot after used to play the Environments "Thunderstorm" album as their bed music.

Environments 4: The Psychologically Ultimate Thunderstorm!

https://numeroenvironments.bandcamp.com/album/environments-4-the-psychologically-ultimate-thunderstorm

That one is GREAT too

Their show was called The Quiet Storm, so it worked.

And gentle rain in a pine forest <3 but there are too many animal noises in that one for me to fall asleep to

Jon thanks so much for that link, I'll need that tonight.

Also on WDAS??

HOW COME NONE OF YOU TOLD ME THE ENVIRONMENTS RECORDS GOT RE-ISSUED.

(He says, an hour late.)

Oh no it's the boss man!

Heavy rain/thunderstorms headed your way.

Hide yr stash

😮

Tandy - The Quiet Storm WDAS, love their classic quiet storm lyrics on their setbreaks in the 2000s. Tony Brown the legend and big ups to the new current host, Adimu, keeping it alive!

& clean yr room

Ok I'm breaking my rule from earlier: Candy Claws!! 🤯💙⛈️

yesss!!

🚪🌌 thanks for the Arkestra!

Can't be a space show without it! 🌌

EXTREME jam alert

🕺

Oh man huge gusts of wind outside

Oh boy yeah what's the weather like out there

Seems dry so far but that wind is going

Time to check AmericanWX

🌬️ 🌀 🌪 'tis gusty!

Line of storms at Trenton's doorstep, temps dropping behind it from 70 down to 56-59

The winds are scary treacherous, as if they'll blow your car while driving

If i lose power I'll riot

@ Anika (host) We just had a major thunderstorm front roll west to east through the Princeton area. It was fairly fast and the worst of it seems to be headed off the coast.

Oh WOW that's always crazy

It feels like it's coming out of nowhere

It's a shower out there!

That's the magic of cold fronts in unseasonably warm weather!

obsessed with this playlist

Perfect scary driving in the rain tunes

Big love from BK

@ Anika (host) Thanks soooo much for the Lizzy Mercier Descloux and Taeko Ohnuki tracks. IN FACT! I have a Taeko CD in my car's player right now. :-))

Sideways rain in Trenton now, can't see much beyond my front steps!

Hey thanks Haley!!

Richard that's awesome! She's great

aaaand it's gone

wow given the NJ weather this is so spooky

stay safe everyone!!! spooky music aside

No, I think I won't :)

@ Anika (host) Yes, indeed, Anika-san. It's been a frustrating - and surprising - experience for me, finding so little of the best J-Pop singers' recordings available on digital download, although I can find many of their CDs.

I've heard this on here before!

@ Anika (host) And here's a good example: "Dress Down" by Kaoru Akimoto is only available on Amazon.com if you subscribe to its Music Unlimited. Any suggestions Anika & fellow listeners? Should I be checking over at BandCamp or another (legitimate!) digital download site?

Kaoru from before brought Japanese Breakfast vibes!

If I'm looking for stuff, I look on rate your music and then usually use youtube or something, but I'm not sure about downloading stuff! Anyone else?

If a song isn't on Bandcamp for me I usually either buy it off Amazon or DL off the 'tube

sweet trip 💙💙💙💙💙💙

Love Sweet Trip. This is an awesome album.

And this is my favorite song on it btw... :)

So many diverse generes and range songs like LOONA / ODD EYE CIRCLE Girl Front LOONA / ODD EYE, sounds exactly like an anime end credits and something in Kirby anime!

My rule from earlier is dead and buried

KKB!!!! 🤯🤯

This song is SO good

Addicting!

@ Anita (host) Small point, but I think the actual title of the LOONA / ODD EYE CIRCLE album is "Mix & Match" ...

Oh! Oops! Typed that in wrong in my playlist and then read from that on accident, thanks Richard!

@ Anita (host) No worries! Hey, good news, I found it on digital download at smileamazon.com .

Awesome!

@ Anita (host) Wow, this track "Trampoline" by Kero Kero Bonito is just so charming and emotionally (as well as rhythmically) upbeat. That's on thing I've noticed about many of the most loved & successful K-Pop and J-Pop groups, their encouraging lyrics and overall vibe. .

@ Anita (host) Refreshing in our fraught world today. Thanks again so very much!

Yes! So fun and light

Bouncy

Anika please if you keep airing more jams I'll die

Sure real! From spacey to rave k-pop!

@ TAndy Me, too, but what a happy way to go! ;-))

Don't want you to die TAndy but this song is definitely a jam

I'm die

Oh my god not afx please no no nononononnoo

🕺💀

Time for the cool down

Take a breather kids

Blue Lights In The Basement- from Philly's Patty Jackson on Wide Wonderful World of Butter, in shifting to relaxing songs!

I need to check out Wide Wonderful World of Butter!

Okay I'm a bit late but: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Macross 82-99

So many old school warming classical motown, funk and jazz, every Sunday night from 7-12!

Afterglow, I heard this before last semester on a beautiful cold sunset! Also another song played after that Frozen Bluberries by some African singer! Saved on playlists of course!

thank you ✨✨✨

Frozen Blueberries✨ I'll check it out!

Thank you so so so so so so so so much for the show tonight!

Thank you all so much for tuning in! It was a ton of fun today

✨✨✨✨✨have an amazing week

You too!

@ Anika (host) Well, this week has started with an amazing Monday evening! Thanks again so much. I know you and the other WPRB hosts put so much thought & planning & creativity & love of music into your playlists. And it shows and we enjoy them.

Thank you so much Richard! Have a great week ahead!

bye bye everyone ✨

Like Wonderful World of Butter last night, this has been exciting, spectacular and chilling! Gratitude for all the songs to know and learn, especially the k-pop!
