deirdre dionysiac... this might be my first time listening to your show. i think. anyway, loving the tunes!

we've been dodging each other! good to have you aboard. that kate nv track has been goof-ifying my mind all week
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 9:17:52 PM
@ stevie p, don't get up early for The New Abnormal; stay up late to listen to deirdre dionysiac.
DSM 9:19:52 PM
this is going hard rn
TAndy 9:19:54 PM
Or work night shift so you can enjoy both
stevie p 9:20:03 PM
ǝʌɐꓷ. please. hehe
stevie p 9:20:43 PM
The New Abnormal is my weekly antidote to The Boring Normal.
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:21:19 PM
the new abnormal is the antidote to the living ritual.
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:21:42 PM
this one comes courtesy of my partner, who says it is, and i quote, "funny"
stevie p 9:21:49 PM
it's the un-ritual
TAndy 9:24:17 PM
"The antidote to the living ritual" rivals "the next rotation of the radio sun" and "many have lived full lives blah blah blah" in terms of trademarkable DJ epithets ,
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:25:06 PM
haha, the radio sun is dj pup right? potentially embarrassing myself here
TAndy 9:25:57 PM
Yep, and the latter is our own ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:26:21 PM
but of course
TAndy 9:28:29 PM
Oh. And the Dr. Cosmo quote that Mike Hunter always speaks at the end of his shows.
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 9:28:48 PM
The full quote: Many have lived full lives without listening to The New Abnormal.

Dr. Cosmo: fly low to avoid the ever present radar that's only out to get you

Ossy 9:30:31 PM
Mike in Space is the astronomical best to end Friday nights and music for bedtime
TAndy 9:30:45 PM
I like the blah blah blah quote because you actually did that a few days ago hahah. It's impossible to enjoy life without being abnormal
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:32:40 PM
that could be construed as uncouth, dave. it's ears though, was doubting myself but says so on his dj page
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:33:04 PM
how we feeling about härte 10's proximity to the space between the left and the right cheeks?

deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:41:06 PM
i can picture these strings being plucked with beeks, probably no way to work one around a saxophone though
Ossy 9:43:42 PM
Speaking of beeks, encountered this random duck like creature in Mario Galaxy that lifts you high in the air with its beak! https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&sca_esv=567469796&q=cataquack&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj7irS_i72BAxWCD1kFHbcFAWUQ0pQJegQICBAB&biw=375&bih=683&dpr=1.92

And hello autumn 🍂 🧡❤💛🍁🍊
TAndy 9:48:50 PM
Autumn is the best season hands up am I right
DSM 9:50:45 PM
I'll raise em up to that TAndy
Ossy 9:52:04 PM
Falling leaves, breezy weather and pumpkin harvest are the way to celebrate!
TAndy 9:52:48 PM
Specifically the period between September and early November
deirdre dionysiac (host) 9:53:35 PM
I'll have to agree, though summer has grown on me as i've gotten older. Spring is disqualified by my allergies. I tell myself i like winter but know deep down that i'll just be depressive
Ossy 9:54:28 PM
A world called Click Clock Wood of Banjo Kazooie, has four seasons and autumn one is my fave there
TAndy 9:54:57 PM
The funny thing about autumnal seasonal depression for me is that I'll be so out of my head that I tend to pay more attention to my surroundings and hold a lot more value for whatever experience I'm having at that time
Ossy 9:55:02 PM
Where also autumn is Halloween season 🖤🧡💜🤍
TAndy 9:56:17 PM
I am also begging everybody to go outside right now and look to the South for the orange flavored moon setting

@Ossy, if you’re up early on Monday, I’m subbing for Reina, playing 3 hours of African music, 7-10 a.m. one hour of Alté after 9:00
Ossy 9:59:59 PM
This sounds kinda Lisa Stansfield's "Never never gonna give it up"

Listening but not chatting
deirdre dionysiac (host) 10:16:03 PM
original sound track. though these weren't exactly ost's but image albums (music for printed mangas as i said on mic)

deirdre dionysiac (host) 10:38:44 PM
hm, it was public access music, so maybe!
