I guess saying it's cute is out of the question

sometimes it’s pretty fugly and that’s when it’s at its best

This is The New Abnormal. We don't do 'cute' here

>:)

The New Abnormal = Delightful? 🤮

Yabba dabba doo

The New Abnormal = Adequate? 😇

Unremittingly grim

🤔

very curious

ello guv’nor

This is very g🥚🥚d

Okay, checked out the songs. Farah Sir provides only a few seconds of wordless atmospheric vocals on "The Threat Is Real" and "Poisonous Shadows".

Yeah, Chef, a cool jam

sooooo… pass??

Not enough Farah Siraj to justify airplay

They wasted that opportunity

Are you surprised?

Few seconds. Pfft

Kinda 🥺

Is Megadeth known for their cross cultural explorations?

Is MEGADETH known?

Kinda

Almost accidentally sounded like Rebel Rebel for a second there

These guys probably grew up listening to Rebel Rebel

Bill Nelson makes for the best background music. Those synths!

State of mind

I'll make sure you get there

No screaming

ONLY SCREAMING

🗣 🔊

I honestly luv to be SCREAMING

I prefer to holler, bellow, and trumpet

you snore me

honk shoo

honks hoo

honkin' on a bobo

Time for some Zeuhl gruel? 🥣

Pochakaite Malko barely qualify as Zeuhl, but I suppose they are

That would be keuhl

Please Sir more Zeuhl

Be ceuhl, feuhl!

Batboy reuhls, batman dreuhls!

Bathboy?

That is some fun album art for Alco Frisbass. Thanks for posting it, DTO 😶‍🌫️

Have an abnormal day, Stevie. 🤣

@DTO 👁️

DSM, I forget. The last headline I saw was about batboy escaping government captivity

🤣

morning folks. Busy day but popping into to say hello.

Good morning, Mokley Crue

I'd love the collected articles of Batboy as a coffee table book

Sup Mokley Crue

howdy Mok

I am BathBoy. So filthy.

@ Christine, yes, the cover art is often worth posting in larger format.

deirdre and rosasolis do the same

We appreciate the enhanced playlist. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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

Rosasolis is one of my favorites

Rosasolis' selections are like a neural re-set. I mean that in a good way.

I save rosasolis's playlist from 3/17, 1-3 am during the show subbing for navi

I had to get up early that morning, but I couldn't stop listening.

neeeeewommm

I demand a shrubbery 🌲

Not too expensive.

I have a book of slang published in 1934. Shrubbery is slang for sauerkraut

That seems to have fallen into disuse

I'm on a mission to revive it. Please, fellow New Abnormals, henceforth refer to sauerkraut as Shrubbery

sauerkraut is slang for… never mind

I hope Chef is still in the chat. He'd be such a force for change in this matter

MΔᏞᏨØM, yes, unpleasant german

Chef Emeril is a real influencer. He could craft a daily special with shrubbery.

I remember posing for this album cover #DarkKnight

Could I use shrubbery for coleslaw?! 🧐

🤔

MrM, I gave you a first name: MΔᏞᏨØM

MΔᏞᏨØM MΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ

Is this MIRANDA SEX GARDEN ❤️‍🔥⁉️

Perhaps an influence

No Stevie P. I give you a time out

Have you played them before, DJ DaveTheObscure?

😒

Stevie P, it’s only ᎷяM or ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ, if yer nasty. Delete all of your nonsense please and thank you.

Can't delete nonsense. I'm in timeout

Alright, you two, 🤼 opposite corners again

And someone let DJ Pup know too. He keeps changing my name every time he types it 🤪🥵

lolz

And check out DTOs website too

Yeah, @RobF 😂

😶‍🌫️

DSM deleted it 🤑

Thanks ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ, Unremittingly grim as always! Dour...Tasty even!
