NO BOPS FOR YOU!

Hi, DJ DaveTheObscure!

😶‍🌫️

Good day, -𐁕Ʀ ᮋ₳𖼘𐐣𐤈ꛘ₮ⵟᜬ𐠙-☠️

FYI @Mr.MalContent: https://www.indiewire.com/2010/10/the-feelies-not-down-with-carlos-but-olivier-assayas-still-has-a-killer-soundtrack-to-epic-122142/

Good afternoon, TAndy 🫥

Afternoon, ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ! Happy New Year to all...again.

@ MrM, maybe some mild bops.

Hello, iamthelabhras.

HeyOoo! Cheers, iamthelabhras!

Hello Dave!

mild bops. curious!

curiouser and curiouser

DTO, do you know the Canterbury-style Greek group "Axis"?

I love when the new abnormal gets a 3 hour sub spot

@ Triquelli, I am not familiar! But I will investigate immediately after I am done here. Thanks for the tip!

Not gonna lie, kinda boppin' to this

🎩🐰

Same, this is fitting beyond perfect with the beautiful weather today

Longing for summer

I find myself discretely tapping my foot under the table as well

happy new year Dave and TAndy and MrM and Triquelli and iamthelabhras and anyone who comes post this message

3rd and last album S/T (1973) highly recommended!

Filling in for Bani, I resisted going too far into dark zeuhlish territory. Canterbury is generally light hearted.

@Triqulli, am looking into Progarchives now, and Axis sounds like exactly what I would enjoy.

HNY DSM

UGHHHHHH Dave you're going to make me cry with this Fusion, I have such a soft spot for this music

No crying during The New Abnormal!

Just grim stoicism

Contemplative Twerkin, today only

And good day, DSM!

TAndyTwerk isnt something any of you need to see.

Thanks mrm and dto!

Happy 2023 DSM!

THX DSM

Sounding perfect for Sunday afternoon

hell yeah TAndy!

Good afternoon, Rob F. Glad you could join us.

Phat 2023 to you, TAndy!

Dirk Quinn Band performing live this Friday in Phila.

Rob F I think we're gonna be saying that for every song in the show today

and its' over

Still good!!

TAmdy, no relation.

TAndy, that is

Heheheh

Dave when I grow up I want to have impeccable music taste like you.

TAndy, since you are always listening to WPRB, you ALREADY have impeccable music taste.

🤩

For MrM!

ErrMahGawd

AHDHDHSAAHGS

Is this a bop?

An extreme bop

It is if you want it to be a bop.

Sweet Dreams are made of CHEESE! Who am I to dis-a-brie?!

Cheddar the world and the seven cheese. Everyone is looking for Stelton.

DSM, any option is acceptable.

💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟

💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜

Also, EURYTHMICS ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

ANNIE LENNOX ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

So now you can't say I never play Eurythmics

DAVE STEWART ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 (the best one)

🤣🤪🥸😎

🧯

DJ DaveTheObscure, you never play enough EURYTHMICS. IM CRY

I said no crying!

From laughing!

HeeHeeSobHeeHee

This. Is. So. Good.

this Bop is a BANGER

And it uses the drumming from Byrne & Eno.

Help me somebody

Help him, Rhonda

Super banger

Good afternoon, GueloLove.

DJ DaveTheObscure, what are some of your favorite artists/bands that you would never play on either The New Abnormal or SANGEET???? I hoping for at least four. 💟💜💜💟

Not sure. I find ways to slip in a bit of everything. I try to avoid the overplayed groups, but will work them in if they serve a theme.

I want the stuff like PAULA ABDUL and BLIND MELON and KE$HA and RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.

LET'S GOOOOO

first thing I ever heard by Mathias. so much fun

¡‘La Bamba’! ❤️

@MrM, you asked about favorites. I certainly have a long list of stuff I dislike that I would not play on the radio.

Good afternoon, Brian D.

Hahahaha. I do want favourites. Just the secret list. I guess your collections are true to the programs you host.

I saw DTO at the Aerosmith concert a couple years back, had the VIP badge and everything

Zactly DSM

it's ok to "walk this way", as a treat :)

Not me. It was one of those DTO wannabes that have been flooding the streets lately.

THIS

@DSM, now I want to see "Mok This Way".

lol that is a good one for Mok!

You gotta like the way the host leaves no spaces between tracks.

I've got to squeeze in as much as I can in the 3 hours I have available.

Time to hit the road. In case I don't see you before the show ends, thanks for the show!! It's so much fun today

Thanks for hanging out with us, TAndy!

Yeoooooooooooo DTO 💥💥💥

Hey, jimboooooo! Happy New Year

Happy Newt Year! 🦎

Guud Stuffs 🎵🎶

Thought I'd change it up a bit

Thoroughly enjoying all these nice selections! Cheers, DJ DaveTheObscure!

Aster ❤️💛💚

Glad to hear it, -𐁕Ʀ ᮋ₳𖼘𐐣𐤈ꛘ₮ⵟᜬ𐠙-☠️

Does anyone recognize this melody from a western pop song? I can't place it.

No. However, I heart it so much.

I'm certain Brian D. would be able to identify it.

Yeah, Brian D., get in here, gosh.

His brain is like Shazam.

I think in some cases, he uses Shazam. L0LZ. Srsly.

I find these melodies too similar. But it bugs me that I can't figure out if they borrowed it from some western hit or not.

Or do they just listen to a lot of Cambodian psych in Ethiopia?

Love this one.

and it's over.

Good afternoon/evening still wendy

This GEM 💎💙

Hello.

Thanks for checking into the chat.

This is like.... cloudwatching on a rooftop greenhouse in Philly kind of music.

That's some good imagery. ⛅

And quite specific.

🤠

Dude, this whole set since the last mic break and the Cambodian song is so good. So so so so good

It's fine

Lula & Sailor today?!?

Sadly, no, MrM.

Darn phooey

It's more than fine. This is fancy.

I had my one shot to impress you MrM. And I failed,😞

Every show is impressive, DJ DaveTheObscure! 💟

That's very kind of you to say, MrM.

It’s sincere and genuine! 💜

DSM suggested "Walk This Way" as a treat. So I thought I'd satisfy that request next.

You're a good man DTO

Whaaa?!

Maybe not the version you expect.

Is it instrumental like that SADE?! 😤😫😝🤓🥳

🧀🧡

I honestly luv to eat cheese and this cover is amazing

I honestly luv to eat 🧀

Hahahahaha

We are ONE

💟

Well, this is a bop.

Hey Christine!

OMG LOL

Hey TAndy!

No bops for you! Good evening, Christine!

Thanks Dave

Thanks for the suggestion, DSM!

Happy New Year, ChristineBoo! 🎉 👻

Hi DTO 😶‍🌫️, MrMalcontent 💀, DSM, TAndy, Wendy & all...happy Neu! Year
