Good morning, people.
TAndy 7:02:29 AM
Woah, good morning DTO
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 7:03:17 AM
Hello, TAndy!
TAndy 7:03:39 AM
Completely forgot you were subbing this morning, pleasant surprise!
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 7:04:37 AM
This show won't be another New Abnormal, though.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 7:05:00 AM
Mostly more chill on this gloomy morning.
TAndy 7:05:03 AM
Yeah it's nobody's birthday today
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 7:29:19 AM
TAndy, this first hour might lull you to sleep.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 7:30:59 AM
...might have already lulled you to sleep.
TAndy 7:31:48 AM
I'm still at work so that'll be Impossible
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 7:42:02 AM
On this track, David Parsons blends sampled gamelan with an Armenian vocalist.
TAndy 7:43:08 AM
This one is real nice
TAndy 8:56:48 AM
Whoops got caught up chatting with a coworker for the past hour
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 8:59:31 AM
Gonna have to dock your pay.
TAndy 9:01:34 AM
You can't do that because I quit
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:02:26 AM
Gonna need a 2-week notice.
TAndy 9:03:35 AM
I'm already on a plane straight to Zanuatu to hide
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:05:16 AM
You chose a good island. I believe they don't have an extradition treaty with the USA.
TAndy 9:06:17 AM
Good. I smuggled a board all of my Canterbury cream eggs as well
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:07:33 AM
Legal in Vanuatu since 1971.
TAndy 9:07:57 AM
😤
TAndy 9:17:42 AM
I. Love. This.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:19:00 AM
I also. New release.
TAndy 9:21:16 AM
This and the last song feel like the soundtrack to exploring a dead empty late 90s 3D city environment. That kind of aesthetic that inspired vapor
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:21:55 AM
Good imagery.
TAndy 9:23:29 AM
Like imagine downtown Manhattan to Wall Street but it's clean, completely empty, and the sky is an uncanny perfect blue with photorealistic rendered clouds on a repeating skybox.
TAndy 9:24:44 AM
I guess I just also described dead and forgotten multiplayer maps from old online shooter games like Half Life Deathmatch and CounterStrike. Kind of esoteric to mention, but those who get it would understand 😅
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:27:42 AM
Reminds me of Vanilla Sky when Tom Cruise runs through an empty Times Square.
TAndy 9:30:25 AM
Maybe Oblivion too, also starring Mr. Cruise. Loved that film
TAndy 9:32:14 AM
Yessss OT 💙
TAndy 9:48:18 AM
Thanks for the wonderful morning soundtrack DTO. I'm sure anyone waking up to this would be happy all day
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:49:11 AM
Thanks TAndy, my one listener.
TAndy 9:49:39 AM
I'm sure you had more! I'm the only one "awake" enough to chat this early on a Sunday.
TAndy 9:50:04 AM
I'm sure a certain skeleton is struggling to wake up, he's usually more active during the next show.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:50:04 AM
Perhaps.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 9:59:43 AM
Thanks for keeping me company, TAndy.
