Gᴏᴏᴅ ᴍᴏʀɴɪɴɢ, sɪʀ.

Good morning, TAndy.

no Bops for YOU! ☹️😃☹️

I saw that too hehehe. Sunday gonna be a fun one

Hello, DJ DaveTheObscure!

Good day, -𐁕Ʀ ᮋ₳𖼘𐐣𐤈ꛘ₮ⵟᜬ𐠙-☠️. You've been peeking ahead.

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne 💟

💜 Yes, I'll play Auld Lang Syne on Sunday.

Hi, TAndy ☮️

Oh?!

Good morning, s💀r.

Just before Pat-O takes over.

But Sunday's show will attempt to avoid my usual darkness.

Oh-Pat0!

Oh boy, Dave is going to play 3 hours of yachtcore just for us!

Bah Humbug! Stay in the shadows, shrouded by the darkness!

I have to respect the audience (a bit).

That’s what I’m saying 😂😇😈

This is very nice. Brian D knows what;s up.

And that's the best part of the chat - we all benefit from everyone's contributions to the discussion.

Hardly noticed that transition, felt like different parts of the same piece.

I try to assemble sets that flow well together. Plus this set features an instrument similar to the geomungo (koto).

And I can't resist the dan bao.

Super Swell Selections to begin the broadcast! Cheers, DJ DaveTheObscure!

Thanks, 𐁕Ʀ ᮋ.

Nice Segue DJ Dave the obscure!

Jethro Tull! They're crescent fresh >:) Good morning Brian D

Good morning, Brian D. Thanks for the tip on KEDA.

Great Tull track

O ya heard that opener. Cool

Stivell?

¡ɹɐǝʎ ǝɥʇ ɟo ןɐɯɹouq∀ ʍǝN ןɐuıɟ

Buongiorno.

¡ ǝuᴉʇsᴉɹɥꓛ `ᵷuᴉuɹoɯ poo⅁

After the opener oops

Bawnjurno, Christine!

DTO - are you all over the new Purbayan Chatterjee release?

おはよう

Jawnbiorno DTO, TAndy, Brian, Mok

And ohayo!

Morning everyone

Good morning, Mok. I am not familiar with it. I am generally not on top of new releases like Pat-o.

Although I really like all the other Purbayan Chatterjee CDs I have

Good morning to you too, Mok!

Hope Deirdre returns to mid day weekdays next season. Noon to 3 at work really goes well with their playlists.

Here you go https://purbayanchatterjee.bandcamp.com/album/saath-saath-2

Oh I didn't realize it's from September

Thanks, Mok.

@ Brian D, I suspect Deirdre D might have obtained (well deserved) full time employment, which may interfere with a daytime show

I feel like late evening before Mike's show also works perfectly, Brian. It's the only time I've ever been able to listen to their show :'(

(Although if moved to daytime I'd be down to hear rebroadcasts like last year)

Always worth listening to Deidre's show. Deidre operates at a whole different level.

You do too, DTO!

Very kind of you to say, TAndy. I'm minor league, I keep telling you.

I've been missing deirdre's show lately because of the timeslot. 😔

Deirdre's shows are unfailingly fascinating. And rarely do I hear artists that I am familiar with.

Oh Christine, I just remembered that I can send you a link to my personal archive when I get home in a while. Do you use Instagram, or Twitter?

Ooh! Love the Jazz Is Dead collective

Thanks, TAndy! Unfortunately I don't have Twitter or Insta.

Ah. The only other way for me to send you a link is via email though I'm not sure how you are with dropping yours here for a few seconds so I can copy it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This track is so good.

Sure; just a sec

Got it

I'll be at that shortly!

Thanks, TAndy!

All Traps On Earth sound quite a bit like Änglagård, which is no surprise since they are 3/4 Änglagård.

Like a wakizashi Änglagård.

One main difference is the bassist's daughter on operatic vocals.

That Sloche was really good

Good morning, Rob F. Glad you could catch it. Quebec had a thriving prog scene, but didn't get much attention.

Good morning Rob F. Just in time for your Zeuhl Gruel

Interesting, yeah I would not think of Quebec for prog

Hi TAndy and all

Prog in the morning, knew it had to be Dave

We should call slush "le sloche" now. Hi Rob F 👋

Good morning, Tyler B. Yeah, you know me.

Not sure if the Zeuhl or coffee is working better to wake me up today. Probably a tie

Zeuhl may be habit forming.

Chef-approved Zeuhl gruel 🥣

Good morning tyler B :)

More Zeuhl coming up after 9:30.

👁

@Christine you're in!

Thanks!

Joe Frank had a great bit about confronting noisy neighbors in the elevator and yelling in their ear "HELLO!! HOW ARE YOU!! WAS THAT KISS OR LED ZEP-AH-LIN AT 3AM !!" And finding a way to install an override remote control to their stereo system ha.

Neighbor's Philly accent makes it even better

It's a problem, to be sure, whether Dirk Quinn agrees or not.

The burbs and the country may be boring to some but .. house all alone w no neighbors nearby = prime practice pad

Apparently Dirk Quinn wasn't far enough.

I'm convinced that Midwestern-earnest-annoying neighbor was what the character Ned Flanders was based on.

That sounds right, Christine.

DJ DaveTheObscure! Thoroughly enjoyable show! How do you do that EveRy WeEk?!? Big cheers to you!

Thanks MrM! How I do it? I put in the disc and press play. Over and over.

whut kind of dark magic… 😱?!?

Disc? You mean I don't have little music performers inside of my speaker?

Obscure™️ magic ✨️

Great schedule coming up!

50 50 for Marvin Rosen.

"Pressing Play??!!" SORCERY!!

Ooh!! Banger alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Always with the screeeeaming, etc. Thanks, DTO 😶‍🌫️ !

Thanks DTO!

L-L in Roman times...

Thank you VERY mch for the show today, DTO!

Thanks, folks. I'll be back Sunday afternoon 3-6 pm.

Thanks for listening, and keeping me company in the chat this morning. Stay tuned to ‘PRB for 🏃🚦Running Redlights with Jen.

Pancakes?
