Yay, more beautiful weather to coincide with my show.

Uncle Bob Pollard will shower all with beer... no extra charge

While Tobin looks on...

Ebi Soda!! This is very nice

honk

This Ebi Soda is an interesting lp! Cool textures. A great 22 offering

As promised - a good jazz transition from DJ Tobias. 🙌 high five

I did see another Ohio singer do something bad with a friends baseball hat and then stick it back on his head. No charge.

Dave, doing it on the end for Jerry, as well.

Best song

TOBIAS TOBIAS TOBIAS TOBIAS TOBIAS TOBIAS TOBIAS TOBIAS TOBIAS

TOBIAS

Unoclay does not agree

TOBIAS

I thought you'd play "The Guy..." singing "The Jerry Song"!

J-E-R-R-Y Jerry!

Dave, I don’t think I would do that without written consent

Ebi soda? 🍤🥤 Good morning, everybody

Morning to Christine and the masses

FRANKIE!!!

Frankie is a groove master

Sorry, neighbors... 🔊

Frankie!

Some of the Frankie & The Witch Fingers songs have elements of math rock, imo.

(not this song, though) They will be playing Asbury Park on 7/30 🌠

I’m not very good with math but I’ll take this

The Saint, right?

Yes!

Bring hearing protection 🎧

Always

Enjoying all these Nice Noises❗️❗️❗️

Cheers, DJ John Tobias!!!

I read people say chk chk chk for some strange reason

Almost forgot about Ambulance Limited

Lots of great new stuff to choose from, Nr M

Yeah, it’s that. chk chk chk ❗️❗️❗️

Brian, that was my third choice for pronunciation

I like vowels. I’m old fashioned that way

I agree and concur

abt vwls

Ambulance Ltd kinda disappeared, but that album has some nice cuts

Everyone is a TACO 🌮

Mr M, I need all the help I can get

The Late TVT records. Ambulance LTD was opener for Guided by Voices on the 2001 Isolation Drills show i saw. Back when GBV was briefly on TVT .

Brian, must have close to zero hearing left

Ya that Ambulance track had some nice Bee-attles like moments. I have to look into more of them

That piano was reminiscent of Oh Yoko to me

No never really got bothered by loud sounds at a GBV show. They have it dialed in nicely usually. I hear Dinosaur Jr is the ear killer

Hey Floyd! Nice! The heaviest Floyd tune maybe

One of their most PRB esque tunes

Dino Jr was too loud for me. I went all the way back to the venue for that one.

Oh, nice

More Soundtrack is great! Really experimental at moments. Backward cymbals and such. Some little acoustic gentle ditties. And this....

Agreed

I have read My Bloody Valentine is up there with Dino Jr for decibel damage

I saw them together

Was late for most of MBV though

Reminds me of Cocteau Twins’ milk and kisses era.

what are all the instruments here!?!

I just read this is their singer

Hodgepodge of instruments

Some might be backwards?

Singer from COCTEAU TWINS?!

"More" is a bore. (The movie, not the score!)

Never saw it

💜 Sudan Archives

I only know this track

Not rushing out to see it after that review

I just read that Sudan Archives will play World Cafe Live on 10/11.

Than off to Europe

Going more upbeat at 11

Congratulations! 🎉

Everyone needs positive reinforcement

No! Studies prove that is completely False! L0LZ

It works for my plants

🪴🌱 THEY ARE ARTIFICIAL! 🤪

Now I’m just embarrassed

the world is funny. We just adopted a dog who's name was allegedly (not sure, but) "Toby". we're probably modding it to Toblerone for fun, since it sounds the same and is a funny doggie name. Maybe there is a name song for that?

I bet Toby has one. Congrats on the dog.

This song is great for getting chores done. A compliment.

he's hilarious. Im presuming Toby is a shortened form of Tobias, right?

It can be

i bet you are not a fan of "Toby"

Correct

we were calling him TuBe, as in TuBe or Not Tube (as we evaluated him with our other dog).

A childhoods memory has me doing something stupid and someone reacting by calling me Toby, like I was Potsie fromHappy Days. Thanks for asking.

No correction of typos. I’m over it.

it just seems less regal than Tobias

It depends on the person/dog

he's not regal. He's a friendly doufus

Sounds like me on a good day

lulz i love asbury, was there last weekend. If i'd be there we'd be competing for "man without tattoo". Im the only one in philly i think

Why did they call that character Potsie anyway? I never saw him smoke pot.

If we’re at a same gig we can give each other a nod. Like I see bikers do on the highway

Just got back. Wow! Ebi Soda, Frankie & Fingies, !!!, Bodega, Floyd, PUP, Grassy sound! Loved those!!

Also was that REALLY Pink Floyd?? That was WILD.

IDK, but one time Joanie said to him “Potsie, you’re such a Potsie” . So cruel, even worse than Sit On It.

TAndy, you snooze you lose.

I was not Snoozing, I was Driveing ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ

L0LZ 😎

I guess Hot Water Music got their name from the Charles Bukowski book.

We’ll, you can catch 30 second snippets on the playlist

Most likely,David

Horns, whistling, choirs

my dad calling being drunk "being pots'd". It might be a central PA thing, or dutchy, im not sure if it was widespread....

Could be local

“Days last longer when I’m with you@ he means it as a compliment , right?

@MrMorb ರ_ರ

No worries Tobias I had the stream going, then FM when I passed exit 8 on the turnpike

Too much interference up there. We go for miles on the PA Turnpike

i think this song might be a little corny

Corny fits in the Total Tobias experience in small doses

wasnt you, as much as the lyrics about the mirror. made me wonder, is he being funny?

Tongue in cheek, I hope

this is my new obsession. this guy deserves a million views. Check him out if you like mysteriously odd maybe funny

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gd1iu1TgFk

I’ll check it out post show

Good thing you weren't Asleep at the Wheel, @TAndy

Agreed

No sleep yet! Maybe later 😎

Thanks for the show Tobias, great selections today.

Thank you, DJ Tobias!

DJ John Tobias! Many thanks for sharing all these nice and never corny selections! Cheers! Kind regards!

@ John Tobias (host) Yes, many thanks from me also.

Thanks all. It was a fun late morning.

Good time John. Delvon L is great

I like that they’re wearing their merch in the picture
