We begin our broadcast day. Welcome to the chat.

Good morning Sir

Good morning, TAndy!

The weather forecast seems to have improved, storm-wise.

Another soupy humid morning! Still cloudy where I'm at, and I'm past the time of being able to go to the beach before it closes. I think I'll pass on the flea market too, honestly, and just go home after work. I'm itching to rewatch Pulp Fiction for the 53593th time in a row

Sounds like a more comfortable option.

Tomorrow may be more active. If I even wake up early enough I may brave the shore. On the busiest day of the year. Depends.

If I wake up before Habitat Enrichment begins, I'm good. If not, 😔

I shy away from traffic and crowds.

I like the gentle yet furious percussion on this track.

I dislike overly crowded places, but whenever I go to the beach alone I choose a spot way near the fence before the dunes. Everyone wants to camp 20ft closer to the water to save a few seconds of walking. Hah!

Gentle yet furious is a correct statement. Though not at the forefront, I could still feel the bass through my earbuds. Excellent mixing there

This Dhafer Youssef is doing it

He can hit those high notes.

I regognized that soundbyte

I have used that one many times.

Taken from the Minecraft meme.

Never noticed it before!

I was going to comment that this sounds like the back or the buildup of an old style Progressive Trance (EDM) track. I search and add it on my youtube playlist, whaddaya know. It had another release in '98 as a Progressive track in Germany.

Even this original version sounds like it would fit in well with a Sasha or John Digweed DJ set.

Maybe they used it.

Quick search on a couple of tracklist database websites, nothing :(

Well now I've got goosebumps at this part. Wow.

This will sound very cliche'd but this is a perfect song to trip out to haha

Oh I am sure it was used for that purpose many times.

Well that fired me up

GM DTO! 3 days, can we make it 4?!

The Ashra album Correlations is one of my all time faves

Good morning, DSM! I've reached my limit at 3 days.

Heya DSM!

Howdy TAndy!

Good morning DTO 😶‍🌫️, DSM 🍩, TAndy & all

Good morning, Christine!

Good morning Christine :)

That Taras Bulba track was interesting

Good morning Christine 🌞

It was newly received at WPRB, and getting some attention from several DJs.

It's going on the List. Thanks for playing them.

That List of yours must be extensive. WPRB might be a bad influence.

I'm here hoping WPRB makes my new list hit the limit like the last one lol

This list needs to be broken up into to smaller lists, but it hasn't hit the limit yet!

WPRB has teams working around the clock to assure that happens.

I have every confidence.

"Go ahead, keep honking, I'm organizing my WPRB list"

I have a list for each DJ I listen to. So far Ameena, Dave, Sara, Rosasolis, and CJ are well over 100 tracks. Rosasolis and CJ under 150 while Sara's is real close to 200.

@DSM Hah! I would rock that bumper magnet, facts.

deirdre is off the charts.

Love the guitar/horn playing off each other in this

If I was awake for Deidre's show that list would just be too massive. The one sub show I remember last autumn had me adding nearly every song on their list!

🇨🇲 🎶🔥

I was surprised to see Mensy released only 1 EP.

...that Discogs is aware of at least.

This was added to my list last time you played them. I really gotta go over the list.

*smashes clay tea cup*

Hahaha SMASH

Yes, Maneige is great. And is the least "edgy" of progrock groups.

SoftProg

✨Friday morning feels✨

My goodness. I just parked in a spot at Walmart next to an island and it's brimming with big fuzzy bumblebees 😳

🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝

A group of bumblebees? I wonder if they're carpenter bees...

They're literally shaking in excitement from all the flowers! I've never seen bees that happy before. A few honeybees and those tiny pollenating flies too!

Got them on every side of my home as well. Usually see them solitary, and not swarming, though.

Bees are so cool 🤩

There must be some nice pollen there! 🌼🌻🌸

Get ready for some Zeuhl.

I'm a Zeuhl fool!!

Cool.

Screeeeeeaming online 🗣️

Howdy, Dave. Don't think I've heard Corima before, but this is excellent.

Good morning, Bud. Corima is another overlooked band - from Texas of all places.

If you gave me 49 guesses as to which US state this band is from, I'd get it wrong.

I love this.

Good segue, DTO

Thanks, Christine. I thought it was an unusual juxtaposition, but somehow works.

Not unusual at all. Just abnormal. >:)

🙏

Yeeeoooo DTO!

Good morning, Jimbeaux!

Yeaux Jimbeaux. Dave. My guy. this STANKY bass. Love it

This song deserves all 30mil views on YT.

Another cool band from Texas.

Aaahhhhhhhhh here we GO

Hey, Chef!

Hey! One of the SPICIEST solos of all time! If anyone hasn't seen the video of this, check it out asap! CORY HENRY

Chef, I think that fried egg in the pan would make a perfect avatar instead of the "R". It being round and all.

BAM

oh wow, smooth transition

🙏 Sometimes I put in a little effort.

Woo!

@chef, that Corey Henry solo elevates that song to a whole new level. I love watching the video just to see the reactions of the other musicians to what he's doing.

🌕🗜️

Another cunning use of emojis Christine.

@dave but the R creates such mystic and mystery!

Fair enough, Chef.

@bud YES! Another prime example of that is them doing "Something" with Lalah Hathaway and everyone's heads exploding when she sings two notes at once

Geez, thanks for the sub ǝʌɐꓷ. Needed this.in my silly world that loves waking up a bit to listen to the ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ.

Good morning folks.

Good morning, Rofflestomp. Glad you were able to catch some of the show.

I still have open tabs to catch the tunes from your older shows. lol

I just wish you could sleep in more.

I do apologize for this time slot. I know sleep is important.

Yeah, I like it a bunch.

But realistically, I am minor league. I will not presume to take a prime time slot away from the powerhouse DJs.

I'd like a late night slot, but work hours and sleep get in the way.

in my humble opinion, your show is what WPRB is all about.

Of course life gets in the way of a bunch of shit. Oh well.

🙏 Thanks, Rofflestomp, for the kind words.

DTO you ARE a powerhouse DJ!

Yeah, DtO is the powerhouse DJ!

Don't be so modest. The New Abnormal is worth waking up for!

You're too kind.

@Christine - Exactly!

I try!

Or get lucky. :)

These vibes plus David's voice and the percussion are amazing.

Loved the Sylvian/Fripp stuff myself.

A one-off collaboration. Edited for the FCC.

Hey Roffle! Dave, thanks so much for the show this morning. So much fun.

Hey TA!

Thanks for listening and keeping me company in the chat.

Get set for a bit more Zeuhl.

Thanks Dave, a real treat to get a bonus The New Abnormal this weekend!

HAL!

Afraid...

You demon! The pod bay doors need some work.

Thanks for this one-off New Abnormal gift, Dave the Obscure!

Onboard with Christine.

🙏 Happy to provide excellent customer service for our valued clients. 😬

It was good to hang out in the Listener Lounge™ with everyone. Have a good rest of your weekends!

Casey is up next.

Thanks Chistine, Backatcha, You too!

Thank you ǝʌɐꓷ, made my day! :)

Thanks Dave! :)

Until Friday...
