Hey, TAndy

I was so close

We at WPRB have a 15 second head start

I hot "Join Chat" just as your message apperated, I need to use a touchscreen next time.

Jokes aside I'm looking forward to this show. I re-listened to Dan's tribute to Mr. Shorter via rebroadcast earlier.

Or I could just be polite and let you enter first

Dan Buskirk and I have only one song in common

Wayne Shorter was that prolific with memorable compositions

Wayne Shorter material starting around 8:15

Good morning ǝʌɐꓷ, good morning TAndy.

This is the second tribute show that you and another DJ have had almost nothing in common with due to how much music there is. Good morning Rof!

Good morning, Rofflestomp

Who was the artist? Chick Corea?

Manuel Göttsching, you and Mike each did wildly different tribute shows.

Swing tabla :)

@ TAndy, oh yeah that's right. I checked out Mike's playlist and saw he aired all different material.

Though to be fair... Dan's tribute for Wayne Shorter was much more somber, and DJ TallTrees the night after, had a more Fusion focused tribute. Tis why I love this station, different interpretations of an artist's work from everyone.

(https://playlists.wprb.com/WPRB/pl/17089690/In-the-Forest?layout=1)

@TAndy, yeah I saw that playlist as well. I'll be playing about an hour of Weather Report, but no repeats there either. I made sure to pick exclusively Wayne Shorter compositions.

But mostly I air tributes to artists that are, you could say, 'obscure', and aren't generally recognized elsewhere

This first set is invigorating

Spring like

Obscure should be your epithet 🤔

Good morning!

9:30 is when the special new ID airs, right?

It's not a new ID, just the one inspired by MrM

Or rather the idea came from MrM

As a regular listener, TAndy, I'm sure you heard it on my show before

Heya Christine!

Hey Chef!

Bam Chef!

Morning, Chef!

BAM

Mornin' everyone!

Good morning, iamthelabhras. Welcome.

Jon Hassell may be gone, but we still have Nils Petter Molvær, and Arve Henriksen. 🎺

GRMA, Dave. Happy to be here! TGIF!

mornin!

Thst was great. Hail Queen Cly! 👑

It's an unusual recording from Arild Andersen. Not quite like his usual ECM jazz releases

Moo?

I misspoke - Kendrick Scott's release is called Corridors

Greetings & Salutations! Hello, DJ DaveTheObscure💟

Very odd thing going on. The main WPRB playlist landing page is showing DJ Fresco's show from 8-11AM. horse antics.

Mayhaps someone typed AM instead of PM

Good morning 💀

Good morning, MrM 💜 you're at the right place

Morning Malcontent! I second Dave's sentiments!

Yes, TAndy, it appears DJ Fresco has his schedule off and it will scramble time and space

I will attempt to notify DJ Fresco

Yeah, that is strange. Abnormal, you could say.

Obscuring the show, too!

Can't seem to locate his email address. Perhaps my guardian angel can perform divine intervention

What a great Carlos LP

Good morning, Douglas. Yes, it is a forgotten gem.

Hi Dave, first part of the show has been great. Looking forward to Wayne Shorter

It's happening already, Rob F. Good morning

This is Wayne with Santana

DTO, I see what you mean. DJ Fresco's email address isn't with the name on the calendar.

SANTANA⁉️ 🎸⁉️ 🆗❗️🆒‼️

Hey, MrM 💀! How are you, boo?

Hi, ChristineBoo!! I’m disappointed I need more sleep and had to miss the first hour of the show! Lots going on here and need to be awake now. How’s you, Boo?

WAYNE SHORTER 💔❤️

MILES DAVIS 💙

I am happy to be tuned in with all you discerning people, MrM 💀 👻

You gotta fix it when it’s someone’s name! Have respect! ✊

We love Miles Davis in this house

perf

Thank you for lighting the fire, MrM. Laziness toward names should never be ig kred 😤

But that typo will be ignored.

OMG HAHA

Instagram cred or krud?!? 🧐

Mmmmm krud

It is TOo EArly for TAndy! 🥴🤕🤑

whut up krud pups?

Howdy Dave and all

It's a miracle! The playlist has been fixed! Saints be praised!

Huzzah!

Woo!

Dat segue

Thanks, TAndy. But really, Miles to Miles is not that tricky

This segment of the show is So Sax-y! 🎷 🎶🎵❣️

Sax Attax

Awww Hellz Yeeaahh

Hey wait a second MrM. Who was it that always says "Quartney Barfnet"? What happened to the fidelity to names? 🧐

"You gotta fix it when it’s someone’s name! Have respect! ✊"

Can't delete that

Apparently, that rule only applies to people one likes 🫠

And respects

MrM has left the chat

Haha

It’s QUARTLEY BARFNETT! I mean… 🤦‍♀️

🤭

Q4 Barfnet earnings report

That’s all I’m talkin bout, DSM.

Never forget: MUTSKI 🙀

🕺🎉🎂

I honestly luv to eat cake

Haven't forgotten. Working on my proposal to create an all Mitski show on WPRB

Nice selections this morning ǝʌɐꓷ, Thanks, off to the dentist. Oh boy, oh boy :)

I can be "DJ Content" 🌝

Thanks for hanging out with us, Rofflestomp. Hope dentist goes well

Don’t make my guts hurt more from all the giggles 🙊

beautiful tribute (is that percussion I hear or squeaky drum throne, or live dj mic?)

Thanks Brian D.

Hope all goes well, Roffle🦷

Another TopNotch Hour right there! 📻🎶🎵

jello in the hat

Weather time!!

What did the DJ want us to say?!?

Hewwo

I have to constantly go back and read playlists and chats from last 3 years to get song/ album titles, tips etc. Great resource ya

Yeah, that's a great feature of the playlist - we can search years of playlists of shows we slept through.

Very few stations using Spinitron have active chatrooms

Saw Danosaur one time in another chatroom

#WPRB IRC server when

😶‍🌫️

Too late. I have made a screenshot

Love that percussion inst at begin there that clings and the whistles that come later . This one is chock full of sounds

Yeah, it's good to hear a variety of percussion

Several Species of Small Furry Percussion Instruments...

grooving with a Pict

There it is again! The scraping one!

I've sent this conversation to the FBI, CIA, and even the NSA

Actually I think I might have sent it to NASA by accident. Now the aliens will know the truth

As if they weren't already monitoring....

Funkadelic begin of Back in Our Minds from Maggot Brain I think uses that scraping squeaking instrument

My wife got her set of 7 Nepalese singing bowls this week. Making some great sounds. Put em on a wood accent cabinet & that kinda acts as an amp. Vibrations all over now

Can you identify what percussion instrument makes that sound?

I've got a pair of singing bowls. One of them inexplicably went dull, and won't ring out anymore. Can't figure out what happened.

It wasn't cracked

I've always been curious what the instrument is that sounds like a straw going in and out of a fast food cup, anyone here know the name?

I sent the conversation to Nasty. Ron Nasty.

@DSM, I thought that was rubbing the heel of the hand on the drum skin

DSM - Cuica?

Had to google that Rob, but yes that is probably it! Thanks!

and it appears as tho the sound is made by rubbing a drum head so you're probably correct too Dave

Morning, Dave. There’s an endless supply of great Wayne Shorter music!

Good morning, Bud. Yeah, with all the WPRB tributes, there has been very little overlap in playlists

My laptop at home decided to stop recording halfway through the metal show last night, so this show will be lost to the sands of time as intended

As it should be. We all must keep moving forward

✊

And yet nothing could stop you from looking back and calling me out for my past gibberish.

@DJ DaveTheObscure! Purple Heart BROKEN 😞

We can't ignore the past.

Just can't keep dwelling there

this guy right now

Am I this guy?

yup 👍

Don't want to be THAT guy

Yeah that's my job

The Funkadelic Back in Our Minds instrument is wild... maybe manipulated bell or metal chime or bowl like inst? Somehow they are bending the pitch in a wild way that suggests studio effects... kinda like the guitarist Les Paul and his sped up guitar tape effects

There it is!

UhOh Jazz

TOO MANY NOTES

Saw an instrument once that had something like a snare drum with a rope threaded through the head. When pulled, the rope caused a monstrous sound.

The special custom MrM inspired station ID is coming up soon.

ErrMahGawd!

😶‍🌫️

i am so curious

You must have heard it, DSM

"Too many notes, Your Majesty?. Exactly. Very well put. Too many notes. .... Cut a few and it will be perfect. Which few did you have in mind, Majesty? Well... there it is.. .

Spoiler alert, DSM:

💀

Morning 🌞

Hey, Mok! Another brilliant new name

Remind me not to stay out until 1:00 in the morning

💘 LULA & SAILOR 💘

this whole world is wild at heart and weird on top

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Dern it...

ohhhhh, MrM love Wild at Heart I see, I see

Thos is so good. Fusion might be my favorite form of Jazz, closely battled with Acid Jazz

I yelled that bit from LULA into a chat @DSM

I was busy that day

Palladium. Great Wayne here

😑😎

I picked up on that and realized it was a perfect Station ID concept

🤪

Everyone's a wise guy today hahahah. Chat at top form

Tis indeed a quality ID

Chat passes the vibe check this morn

I heart it soooo much. Cheers, DJ DaveTheObscure 💟

Thank you Dave and all for making this morning so bright!

Wow. Detail on this.

Surprisingly good mix from lonely musicians during lockdown

I've said it, the lockdown did wonders for music.
