Chat is archived.

oh boy

꧁ We begin our broadcast day. ꧂

Good morning, TAndy.

I am aware that there may be some issues with our playlist this morning.

Uh oh

But if you are reading this, either it is fixed, or you are braving the risks.

Seems fine to me

I think Jon said something in Flex's chat about an issue being fixed but I didn't notice anything

Mike & Co. have been working on it since 4:30 or so. I was getting warnings earlier today. Looks like it may have been fixed. :-)

TAndy, I saw a brief "test".

I assume it's for the playlists.wprb and other relevant URLs having a site certificate issue, as I got one. But I don't use any of those links so it doesn't affect me.

I just use https://spinitron.com/WPRB/ since it's a direct Spinitron link rather than a WPRB redirect

Ah, a clever workaround.

Morning! :)

I think the playlist link on the WPRB homepage went straight to the spinitron link so I just use it out of habit. Also GM Guelo!

Good morning, Uncle Guelo.

Good morning! I did not have problems this morning accessing this playlist.

Good to hear, Rob. Good morning and welcome.

Oh, wait, I get the warning message when I paste the url for this playlist into a private Firefox window.

Good morning Rob

G'morning folks. Yes, website problem is still in effect, but hope to have it resolved soon.

Thanks for the update, Mike.

Thanks Mike! In the meantime we will be uncertified chatters

Dave I don't know how you do it but your musical choices match perfectly with however the weather is outside. You and DJ Pup the only DJs I know of with the pre-selected lists that are ALWAYS on point.

Thanks, TAndy. But that's sure to change.

Watch DTO have a post-prog nu-free fusion jazz song playing during an 82 degree 78% humidity hazy morning rather than the more appropriate chicago deep-dish hard bop inspired subway jazz song playing instead.

And I was looking for my chicago deep-dish hard bop inspired subway jazz songs while preparing for the show, too. They got lost in the stacks...

Eh the new craze is Chicago tavern style anyway, you shall be forgiven. (Never had it though!) I do apologize, the deep dish genre is meant to say "jams" at the end, not "song". Forgive me

I'm always several years too late. And $10 short.

Good morning Dave and TAndy. It's a nice, sunny, cool morning here in Maryland.

Thanks for the update, Mike

NJ is still a bit hazy/overcast. We can expect clearing by midday.

this song is doing it

Lulling you to sleep?

Nah putting me in a great mood. This one too

Good morning. Wild we have to paypal some dude $20 to get in the chat now?!

LOL, DSM. I got in with only my SSN and mother's maiden name.

HA!

I just signed a contract for the rights to my flesh and the red colored man let me chat.

I got in by typing in my last two life birds

👹 Wasn't me...

Good morning DTO, TAndy, DSM, Rob, Guelo & all 🌅

GM Christine!

Howdy Christine

Good morning, Christine. Any difficulty getting into the playlist?

Too bad I missed the Malcolm Jiyane Tree-O; it was tough waking up. No trouble getting into the Listener Lounge™!

Sleep is more important.

OMG, I just woke up to this and my first thought was, 'ut oh, I"m missing ǝʌɐꓷ!' Panic and relief ensued! lol

Good morning Christine

Oh ya, Good morning everyone!

Good morning, Craftist Augmented.

I'm off for a half-hour(+) walk. Later!

hey roffle!

Enjoy! Great weather for a walk.

Have a good walk, Rob

have a good walk!

Is sleep more important, though? 🤔

I would say yes it is.

BAM those background sounds were reminiscent of last year's brood x cicadas 🤘👨‍🍳🤘 also adding to the chorus saying I got a warning from the world wide web for this page

Oh dear, I totally checked in on the wrong account. Wow, what a panic indeed.

Good morning, Chef.

Good morning Chef 🍳 & Roffle

Good morning CHEF!

Morning everyone.

☺️

Mok too good morning! And WHO was it who sent DJ Flex Luthor the teeth in the mail??

Welcome, MashMokhan!

Mok! 👋

😬 I've still got all of MY teeth.

Yeah!

Good morning, Brian D.

GM Brian

Alan White! Very cool.

I hope you caught Readie's excellent Alan White retrospective a few weeks ago.

Yes. Liked hearing Alan's work on her show. Looks like Steve Howe is the only main 70s member left in the current version.

YES

Good morning DTO & gang

Good morning, Stevie p

The P is silent

Good morning Stevie! All we're missing is MrM for the party to really start.

Like the silent p in swimming pool?

precisely, as you had pointed out

I saw the Yes is a Buggle tour at the Spectrum as a kid. lol

😞 MrM needs to rest up.

My first ever concert: Yes, doing the Fragile tour. It was at the Shippensburg State College (as it was known then) Field House

I was still in high school

Poor dear looks like death warmed ovvr for bone broth.

I'm jealous, Stevie.

Needs a nap for sure.

And The New Abnormal is certainly not for everybody.

Wow!

What wow?

I beg to differ, ǝʌɐꓷ

I can't imagine a single sentient being not being enhanced by TNA

If you ask around, you'll quickly find them, Stevie.

Zappa at Glassboro. Good lord those college shows are awesome. Avoid the big venues whenever possible.

Wow at Stevie being at a Yes concert way back then. Just wowing at the perspective of how young I am.

I was 16 in 1971. So I'm still very young, see?

That transition into the Zeuhl was obscene, DTO! @ Stevie You're getting younger by the day!

🙏

@TAndy, yes! That was seamless. I was still thinking demo tracks? Okay...

What's all this about teeth??

LOL, Cheif, your gonna love this one....

@Chef Check out DJ Flex Luthor's chat from last night 🤣

Okay, bottom line is Jon Solomon got to open some mail from the PO Box and there were teeth. YIKES!

What the what...

I wondered where I left my teeth!

LOL, I hear Jon still has them somewhere ѕтєνιє ρ. :)

OMG I only wish that I thought of that

Y'know, there are many DJs out there who HAVEN'T received teeth in the mail.

Very weird running gag from about a year ago. But, just wow.

Chef Emeril Lagasse says, 'Love my food but brush your damn teeth fool' . lol

Listen to the Chef, kids. I missed the whole Sonic Bloom yesterday because I was sitting in the dentist's chair for over 2 hours.

Getting teeth removed for future mailing?

No, I was just relaxing while the dentist looked around to see if I left my teeth there somewhere

TWO HOURS! I would have told them anything they wanted to know...

Brian, did you catch that ululation?

He kept yelling "Is it safe?"

Yikes. Teeth should stay in one's head. 😬

LMAO ѕтєνιє!

ULULATION YESSS. Emulating those sounds is one of my favorite activities. The only activity I like more is blasting the new obscure to my job… which I am about to do.

That was some fine ululation

Careful, Uncle Guelo. In my experience, most people do NOT want The New Abnormal imposed on them.

Nektar @ Sellersville Theater 11/27

Uncle Guelo whispers good taste to the teaming minions.

This rhythm...

I'm absolutely loving this song by the way

Glad you are able to appreciate it.

South Indian rhythms are the most complex.

Syncopation squared sometimes for sure.

Website update for those of you getting the security warning each time you load a playlist page: Everything is in order on our side, just waiting for one switch to be flipped by an outside source and then things should go back to normal.

No normal, only abnormal all the time

Thanks, DJ Mike

Hello btw

Thanks for the early morning work, Mike!

Dave, do you have a link for me to listen to this? I can't find this song on YouTube. Hey Captain Ahab! Also thanks Mike!

Morning, Cap'n Ahab!

Good day, Cap'n. How are things at the base?

You are streaming via my phone into our car as we drive south from said base

The train station ambience is elevating this track absolutely. My goodness.

They get Fridays off usually after morning PT so long weekend

Hey TAndy! Nice new pic

>:)

Tandy, I bought Sparsh's CD at his concert in 2019. Not sure of its availability.

Captain I can't comment on your show yesterday, I'll need to wait for the rerun next week. But I can guarantee I'll love it. Also I hear that Dave, I'll look around more after the show.

PT and out on a Friday!?! Awesome Ahab! Don't remember that happening to me. :)

This vibe right now 10/10

it looks like Simon Cowell

errr he

A bit, in that photo.

Brilliant set this is, Dave.

Thanks TAndy. 🙏

!!!! My Master Boot Record album came in the mail!!

Today is a good music day.

The best mail.

Better than teeth, that's for sure.

I disagree. Each tooth gets you a fresh quarter from the tooth fairy.

Taking this on the road now, will still be listening but I’ll say thanks and have a great weekend now. Laters!

Thanks for keeping us company, DSM. Enjoy the day.

See you DSM!

Safe travels DSM.

Have a good day dsm!

I feel like i'm in an 80's cop movie

Thanks y’all!

TAndy, that sounds like something the mob might be involved in. :)

No mob just a fairy

Okay, gay mob...

Drive safe, DSM

LOL Roffle I mean it is pride month after all. But I can guarantee you that I'm not associated with the mob

Hehe...

Abbie from Mars ♥️♥️♥️

Screeeeeeaming online 🗣️

We love Abbie From Mars!

We do indeed ☢️💛

Nice.

I'll scream something alright

😮‍💨

HAL!

Indeed, Christine, it was HAL.

Open the pod bay doors ǝʌɐꓷ!

I'm afraid I can't do that.

>:)

Fine, then we'll remove HAL's teeth---I mean memory cards...

I feel my mind slipping away.... 🤖

Speaking of Abbie from Mars, I was listening to "My Second Debut Album" on bandcamp last night. Nice!

Daisy, Daisy...

"Daisy" What did he mean by this?

I don't know, but I don't think HAL did either.

That was HAL 9000's song that he sang at the beginning of his life: "Bicycle Built For Two."

Time fore to enjoy a nice bowl of Walmart brand froot loops. Must be better than the mustard pizza

This kind of deep-dive information is why The New Abnormal is not to be missed. Wake up, sleepers! Thank you, DTO.

🙏 Thanks, Christine. Appreciative listeners make doing this show worthwhile.

@Christine - It's a challange, but I get lucky sometimes. :)

You Spanish speakers out there can appreciate this group at a better level than me, since I don't understand the lyrics.

Dave, if more people tuned into your show for the AM commute rather than their favorite window-sponsored talk personality *COUGH*, I can guarantee they would be happier.

The certificate issue is solved. The problem was not on WPRB's end.

Thanks, TAndy. But I still disagree.

Thanks for the update, and all your efforts, Jon!

Thanks Jon but do you still have the teeth??

Hope y'all didn't have to pay through the teeth to fix that...

Cool, thanks @Jon!

any chance you have time to play Yello Oh Yeah? It's our traditional start of summer song and we're packing for the beach!

it's "sort of" abnormal

Sorry, unoclay. The show is already in the can.

darn i wanted my wife to be like "HOW IS THIS ON THE RADIO?"

Thank you, Jon!

Saw Mörglbl in a bar in Kendall Park years ago.

Holdsworth' esk

@ unoclay, Tobias might be able to comply after 10:00.

Holdsworth certainly has had a wide influence.

yea good idea! But he might say "no" because i am always begging him to stop playing the Tobias Name Song

LOL

I love how him and Eric Johnson noodle around in that scale form.

maybe Tandy can be all like "hey um i love that song that goes chicka chicka bow bow, i think its by Yello?

>:)

I'll see what I can do

and i'll be all like distracting him by complaining about the name song

@Craftist, where was Eric Johnson?

Website issue should be fixed now. Can folks confirm they are no longer getting the security warning when loading playlists.wprb.com?

@ǝʌɐꓷ - Not in anything here today. Just love the Holdsworth approach and how others use it.

All good Mike!

Never got any notice ever personally.

i know what he means, it was popping some weird screens. Not happening now.

No more warnings for me either.

thank you for calling the starlight lounge tech support hub

I am not getting an authorization error. 👍

Hi, DJ DaveTheObscure!

Good morning, MrM! Glad you could drop by.

Well bleach my bones! Good morning -ᎷяM.

I received the Security Warning ⚠️

MrM, hasn't the warning gone away?

Hey MrM!

I just had it pop up twice!!

Greetings and Salutations to All Y’alls!

Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy.

MrM was it you who sent teeth?

😖 Mike & Jon have been working at that for hours. We thought it was all fixed.

That sounds like an issue with Google's end

Garage Mahal too goooood.

MrM, are you using Chrome? If so, two requests:

1. Try another browser to see if you get the same warning.

2. Try opening playlists.wprb.com in a private browsing window

Uncle Guelo, I am in the process of acquiring more Garaj Mahal for future shows.

Not Chrome. Received message from that link first.

Clearing your browser cache/cookies may help but that will kick you out of every logged in session on your browser though.

Garaj Mahal is an awesome name. lol

Hmmm... Perhaps try logging out of whatever account your Spinitron ID is attached to (FB or Google) and start from scratch? Clearing cache as TAndy suggests is also a good idea.

🕌

Google

MrM this is no time for a jungle adventure, it's time for gathering of stage materials!

So sorry, it’s Safari

🚜

🖼

Great show. Enjoying this last set. Thanks DTO!

🙏 Thanks, Rob F.

Glad I got the final 32 Mins! Great stuffs! Cheers, DJ DaveTheObscure!
