1st hour was great

I wanna hear all of it

Oh! The original melody!

Good morning, Rob F

huuuge discography

Good morning to all the fine people

so many good sounds.

Lundsten was unique

This ambient piece is superb!!

ambient?

Yes

Loving this Hall o mirrors amusement park fun house ride of sounds

I'm a philistine so this is ambient to me

Mmmm Philistine adobo chicken... no wait..

These Ludsten LPs have lots of liner notes that explain the story, which helps the music make sense.

Good morning DTO!

And good morning Brian. Tell me you've heard of Lundsten.

Good morning, Parrscream

I heard about him on this lil radio station in the Jerz. Cool show on Fridees innit

Froidee

Frois aujourdeee pas

This is heavenly. Wish I had it on headphones and it was late at night in a remote setting, foggy lake, full moon etc

the perfect environment for Lundsten

This set legitimately made me drive home a lot shorter, every light was green and I was stuck behind no slowpokes. Excellence in sound!!

all the slowpokes are at home taking notes on Ralph Lundsten, searching websites for overnight delivery of entire discography

Good morning Mr Obscure. Digging the show at work. Thank you.

I hear "youiyee"

Good morning all I missed during my drive!

Good morning, Joe. Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the feedback

Imagine the sheer number of worldwide acid trips taken while listening to Ralph's music

Or just trips to the local IKEA

Ikea has some great food. Love their Spürdo brand seat cushions, a delicious bold flavor reminiscent of pine nut

edible seat cushions? very ecological

|:)

Does Greta Thunberg personally sit on each one prior to sale?

No but Greta Gerwig has a special pink flavour edition for the Barbie™ movie.

Approximately 6% of those who consumed the Barbie™ edition Spürdo have gone missing.

it's always stormy in Philadelphia

wish i had my koss headphones circa 1977.

That reminds me, I'm looking to see if Mike Hunter mentions Ralph Lundsten's passing

It's extremely likely

He did not last week

I only accidentally found out while doom scrolling

Nice Noises! Swell Selections! Terrific Tribute! Very well done, DJ DaveTheObscure!🫥💟

😳🫣😵‍💫

Sorry voice, I'm laying in bed now.

I think Mike pre-plansnhis own show to an extent as well

That's a pretty nifty typom I think I'll keep it!

🥹

that makes sense, TAndy

thanks for all the lundsten. really nice landscapes he painted with those sounds.

I'm glad you were able to catch the show, Dale. And glad to hear you also enjoyed the selections

The real FZ

A rare appearance on TNA

His appearance is an Abnormality.

Black Page. Black Napkins. All that. Love this take. That crunchy 80s hard rock rhythm gtr power chord thing going on repeat in background. Sounds like the tone he had around Them or Us (1984 ish)

Good ears, Brain. This is from the notorious Geneva concert in 1982, just before the audience threw the last trash on stage

Zappa hits the spot this morning- DTO!

Heya Readie!

Mornin' TAndy!

"He even admitted that he only wrote lyrics because all-instrumental music couldn’t hold an audience and referred to his own lyrics as “stupid.”" Funny how true this still is for general audiences 🤣

Good morning, Readie. Nice to see you in my chat

Ya riot in La Suisse crazy of all places. When i hear your show outro i hear a person very upset about the safety of his band and the crew (a person who had seen it all and then.. ). But the dry sound of just his mic makes it less intense. When he's telling people not to throw trash on stage it ain't just trash going on..n he's trying to protect everyone from a bunch o bad apples in audience etc

But the riot in Italy maybe a year later was even worse for Zappa and band. Crazy. About ready to read the Real FZ Book again for 5-6th time

Nice to be here, DTO- this French fits in parfaitement as I prep my Bastille Day Extravaganza lol

👁️👁️

I legitimately do not know, Brian D, how you find the time to hear every song, see every film, read every book, and attend every concert. I am in awe

That's grounds to be a PRB community DJ!

Ah yes, Bastille Day is today. Marvin did a great French show the other day.

more French music coming up next

Brian D you are a Renaissance Man, bien sûr

Ah, sorry I missed Marvin's show- will check his website! Thax, DTO

*thx*

This drummer is sick

the whole band "ni" is kinds sick

Fête nationale française! Le 14 juillet! This that is why we we can't have nice things with kings around.

WRAP MY HEAD IN PLASTIC

FROIDEE INNIT

Good morning, Rofflestomp

Lolz

Good morning folks! Loving this ǝʌɐꓷ!

Mornin Matt and Roffle!

Hello Matttster, Please do not wrap your head. These are professionals with medical personelle on standby

@Roffle- certainment!

"Wrapped in plastic" was my favorite line from Twin Peaks.

Didn't realize that was Ni before. I dig into some of their stuff after hearing them here before! Thanks for introducing me to so many cool bands, Dave!

Thanks, Joe. That is my mission here at WPRB. I try to avoid the war horses that have been overplayed.

I wanna ride the horse.

try 101.5

🚧🏇🚧🏇🚧🏇🚧🏇

Dave I said horse not a rotting corpse 😭

don't ride the white horse

>:)

ǝʌɐꓷ, Between this and some Saturndays, you seem to find actual notes that may not have ever even been played. :)

Bad spell day

Sometimes ya gotta keep the typos

Saturnday is the actual root of that name

True TA

Thanks for the show, Dave! Much appreciated sounds for this Freud Day morning.

NEW WMOJI ALARTA 🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨
