We begin our broadcast day.

I’m feelin good. How’s bout you, DJ DaveTheObscure?!

Greetings and Salutations!

I've had better days.

Tell me your troubles.

Irrelevant. Music is the only thing that matters.

We’re in the right place! Let’s enjoy!

It is an honor to have you joining us at this odd hour, Mr. M.

I’m honoured to be here with you, DJ DaveTheObscure! Cheers!

The British spelling?

I’m just so f’n fancy and proper and shiz.

Good morning ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ and -ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀

Good morning, TAndy.

This muggy spring weather gives me the terribles 😴

Keep calm and carry on, TAndy!

Some more rain expected this morning, then windy conditions in the afternoon.

Oh, WorriedWaltzer. I’m not familiar.

He retired from broadcasting about 3-4 years ago.

Doesn’t he know I’m here now?!? A couple of special shows maybe?!

Many have pestered the Worried Waltzer. He has so far been resistant to the idea.

Send him a note and tell him “For Queen and Country and MrMalcontent!” That should be the tipping point.

PERFECT station ID! Helloww fellow Freaks.

this song sounds so familiar

Good morning, Jimbeaux.

Mr. M, I think EVERY show on WPRB has played Al Doum and the Faryds.

It’s pretty good.

Great vibe going ǝʌɐꓷ! Happy Friday all!

Good morning, Roffle.

Good morning jimbeaux and roffle

You've played Ozric Tentacles on your show before, right, Dave? The name rings a bell.

Indeed I have. Sometimes Tim played them as well.

DAVE STEWART?!?

Not THAT Dave Stewart...

Because no one replaces Sweet Eurythmics Dreams, Dave Stewart!

Totally different Dave Stewart.

The Canterbury Dave Stewart is on this Bruford track.

Play all of’em! The Dave Stewart Set!

I have planned in the near future a special show (2 shows) on the Canterbury scene. Loads of Dave Stewart.

Uriel, Khan, Egg, Hatfield & the North, National Health.

That was just awesome!

that last set was gold

Glad you were awake and able to appreciate.

Barely awake, as soon as the show's over when I'm in bed I'm buying what I have in my cart on Bandcamp then passing out

The rest of the show is not exactly conducive to sleep.

Oh awesome

That sounds like a good formula for this morning. More tea it is!

Bruford has a great sense of humor (and humour). You can download his thesis "Making it work: Creative music performance and the Western kit drummer " . Instead of an honorary doctorate from Univ of Surrey he put in the work. Read some but not all. Very interesting. Have to put his books on my list too. 1 bio and one more drum/ music focused

Colourful humour!

I missed it! 😞 and Roberto Cacciapaglia.

1 day i found all 20 some parts of the Yes documentary on YouTube and bonuses. Binged it all. Really interesting. Bruford interview segments were some of my faves.

Good morning Brian & Christine!

Good morning DTO & all! Can't believe I turned my alarm off & fell asleep again. 😢Time for tea.

Yeah, what TAndy said.

Brain D., I still can't figure out how you have been able to hear every song, read every book, and see every film. And go to work, too.

MAB

Hey, Chef.

That was a fun little ID! Good morning fehC

APRIL FOOLS ITS ME EMERIL! BAM! Appreciative of how every morning supplies a totally different, unique soundtrack from wprb. Thank you @dave for my weekly Friday sounds!

Brain, I cannot even keep up with my required listening to all the CDs I purchase.

📚 📖 📕

Really good 📚 are for later, now is for The New Abnormal.

Chef 🍳! That was you?

@christine ha ha ha! The whole kitchen is cracking up over my fool!

Well off I go to refuel my automobile and then meander back on home. See you guys in a bit!

TAndy, steal the petrol ⛽️, don’t get caught! Stay tuned in to the music!

Again with the fancy talk.

This show has me completely ChuffedBits, is all

Good morning everyone

And happy April 1

Good morning, Rob.

Ya I am years behind on listening to music in my archives. I blame this radio station on the east coast somewhere... I have not seen many more films than i have seen ha. Reading is for night time and maybe a weekend morning or 2 here and there.

As I ponder the veracity to MrM's egregious statement, I recall that it is, in fact, the first of April in accordance to the modern Gregorian calendar. Therefore, I may be safe to assume, perhaps even be correct, in the following statement: MrM's suggestion is a Farce and is merely obeying the unofficial rule of "April First", which we should all be aware of. To this I say... Ha! Perchance.

Currently reading bio on Robert Fripp / King Crimson. Good stuff. 50 Shades of Crimson by Pete Tomsett

I can't even find the time to read traffic signs.

TL;DR TAndy msg

Reading is great & all, but I prefer it in book form. And the chatroom.

tl;dr MrM is funny :P

No texting whilst driving, TAndy!!

TAndy I only go by metric time. 10 or 11 days off for old Greg and his fancy calendar

Old Greg and his anti instrument all male vocal stuff... chanting about this and that.. changing calendars... odd bird that ol Greg

Old Greg chanting about this and that 🤣🤣🤣

@MrM I'm at the petroleum byproduct dispensary!

Reading like exercise. Gotta keep up and do y every day. Do word and number puzzles daily too. Keep the thought muscles flexed

HA!!! @Dave

Metric time..... Brian this may be a radio show without national borders but we use Freedom Units™ (brought to you by McDonalds™)!

You got us.

Deciday. Centiday....

I got you?

"Dancing is forbidden! " - Master Shake

who let them dawgs out?!

Your humorous back-announce, @DTO.

You must have fallen asleep again and missed some tunes.

Sadly I did do that from 7 to 8, but I also heard your April fool's!

Billy Ray Cyrus Chestnut

That's a mashup the world needs now.

That and copied from my Pumpernickel chat "Carlheinz Stallinghausen "

great stuff today. Good morning to be stuck in the car an extra hour.

Good morning, Earth, Wind & Mok! Time is on your side.

yes it is!

That's the way of the world.

Good morning, enjoying the music

Thanks, Rob F., good morning.

Rudresh played a free concert at Princeton U back in the Fall I think. It was fantastic

Another great show I missed.

Godd morning Dave. Loved that Rudesh song. Trying to get to brain to boot up this morning is proving a challenge.

Lol Godd

Godd morning, DSM.

lol

How do I keep missing certain songs?? 🤔

Did you nod off again and miss something?

It must be that.

🙃

@DSM, here have an emoji doughnut 🍩. I understand your struggle.

Did you fall asleep and forget to put the same songs on the playlist?! 🥸😫🥺😭

Thank you Christine! Emoji doughnut certainly helps!

Must be some glitch in the playlist this morning.

Who’s MrHilariousPants now!?!

YOU arrrrrrrr.

Haha snort haha!!

🇦🇲 ❤️💙💛 more music from ARMENIA, please!

Good morning everyone I may have missed in the past ???

weir here

Top o’ the morning TANdy

🎭

😵‍💫

Water Babies!

Recorded in 1967-68, but somehow not released until 1976.

Love hearing anything from Miles From India as well. So good

I was wondering why it sounded more jazzy than fusion

I too love hearing anything from Miles

MILES DAVIS ♥️

Maybe because he recorded so much music at the time, they decided to meter out the releases so he didn't flood the market.

Like that question and answer part here

Or Call and response.

Or TOOT and HONK

20 fingers of Chick and Herbie

Hootin' and hollerin'.

maybe Screech and Sqwonk

They stole all their material from Cheech and Chong.

I chortled out loud

Got Sqwonk?

... don't look at his neck maaaaan

FINALLY That Heavenly Bodies LP is fully released! All 25 minutes 💙

Final Ten Mins?!

NO CRYING!

Hope we get RickRolled for the final track!

Thank you for the excellent show on this scrumptious April Fool's Day, Dave!

Love that mid 1960s- early 1970s period Miles

What the BEEP

Sir Neville Bleepin' Marriner.

Haha

Hey girls , bring rusty pliers to pull this tooth...

F***ing language 🤬

Thankfully, WPRB has AI technology that automatically censors such language.

epitaph on the gravestone for Sir Neville "Follow the beat". 92 years. Good run in the fields

Very fine bleepin' show, Dave. As usual, it made more morning meetings much more tolerable!

@ TAndy - thanks.

DJ DaveTheObscure, many thanks for the great show and fun foolishness! Big cheers and kind regards to you!

Hey, Bud! Thanks for checking in.

Great show Dave! Happy Friday all

Thanks, Mr. Hilarious Parts. I mean Pants. (Autocorrect...)
