See, I don't want to corrupt anyone else's message outside of my disignated message rectangle.

I, on the other hand, have no such inhibitions.

Corrupted as I am.

That's because you're a boss

Minor league boss.

Hello, DJ DaveTheObscure!

Why look who it is! MrM 💜

Good morning Mr. Bone Boss

💟 Nice to be here to hear this nice start!

Welcome. Welcome. Don't sacrifice your sleep, though.

I've got some Sade coming up in about 15 minutes. Just for you, MrM.

Awkward? You're a boss, and you're made of bones.

I’m here for at least an hour!

|:)

I see Mike Hunter did his tribute to Manuel Göttsching last night.

I was literally just typing out a message to inform you of the fact!

ZERO 7 💗

💓

Le Bruit Des Origines and Lotus were absolute rippers. Also, UK Downtempo <3

I'm glad to see Mike selected some deep cuts, and not many that I picked.

MrM, can you guess the Sade track I picked?

Nothing Can Come Between US 💟💜

Nope.

Smooth Operator obvi

Not ever.

Haha

Tell me!

Cuz I’m a merman 🧜‍♂️?

You knew it all along.

SADE 💜💟💜

Gotta get the vinyl box set!

DJ DaveTheObscure - many thanks for the Special SADE Song! Looking forward to reading the dedication in the playlist!

Cocteau Twins <33333

Whoa, three favourites in a row!

I want to make the show worth your time.

Sade originally wrote it for me as "Sweetest Jimboo", but the record company made her change it to "Taboo"

LOL

Sing it in your head... you'll see!

Chill morning, Jimboo

You always do! Appreciate all your very fine efforts at curating such excellent playlists! Big cheers to you, DJ DaveTheObscure!

😝😂🤣 @jimboo

Good morning, fair people!

We got 5 degrees Fahrenheit here in central NJ.

good morning jimboo

5°! I would die.

Again.

It's a dry heat...errr...cool.

This area is not as badly affected as many other parts of the country. Like negative temps and 10 foot snow drifts.

NIИ 🖤🖤🖤

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

On a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to discuss the existence of ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ to a friend or relative?

Ah, MrM, it's so sweet of you to think I have friends and relatives! ♡⃛

Ahahahaha …to an imaginary friend or dead relative?

I’ve told all my imaginary friends and dead relatives about ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ!

My imaginary friend and I are no longer on speaking terms.

Good morning DTO. Nice to hear you 2 days in a row. Great music for a chilly Saturday.

Chill morning, Lance. Glad you are able to catch the show.

Wind chill in the negatives, so bad that walking from my car to shop rite made my hands red. Please fully cover up if anyone is going outside!

Oof, sounds rough, TAndy

Is that the mandolin??

the deep repeating chords are mandolin

ShopRite have gloves??

Was there a cello also??

Yep! They have a tiny rack with some gloves and hags

Hags!?

I mean yeah

Gaga! Buy some gloves! 🧤

Everyone needs a nice hag to keep them warm

No worries sir, I have a pair of good work gloves from the car. Forgot my scarf though, something that may finally muffle my mouth 😂
