I know right?? I'm trying to ignore all of my notifications for my wallet's sake

I absolutely love this

@Tandy the siren call is too much:)

I found Resavoir's Boiler Room set on youtube, the music got compliments but one user's comment had me giggling.

"The mix was awful. Who ever was running the soundboard needs to be fired."

Unfortunate when good music doesn't get a proper recording

Great set this morning, Dave

Hi, ChristineBoo! 👋 👻

DJ DaveTheObscure, thoroughly enjoying the show! Curious what inspired these selections, thus far?? #PureMoods💞

Greetings, MrM 💀 Boo! 👻

No particular inspiration beyond the desire to broadcast music that others probably have not heard elsewhere

Except L'Rain gets lots of airplay here. Because she is fantastic

Good morning, Mok

🤘

Yes, Derek Trucks, one of the all time greats already

Saw the Tedeschi Tricks band a few times. He obviously stole the shiw

Trucks *

still in his teens

never thought of them as doing a psyche freakout kind of jam. always thought they were just blues based allman bros style music. maybe that's just with his wife....i

yeah his early stuff is more jazzy, still blues based

POWAAAAAAAH

Indian metal
