Hello TAndy

Greetings & Salutations, Erybody!

Hey ǝʌɐꓷ! Happy Friday y'all!

good morning, Roffle

That album art looks suspiciously Roger Dean 'ish.

Mornin

eberhard haber the pencil people

pencil graphite is a guitar string's best friend.

faber. meant faber. also rubbing a key with pencil graphite helped it slide into an old dirty lock better.

Graphine is a form of skywriting in my humble opinion.

@Dale, hadn't thought of graphite. I had used coconut oil

No, Rob. Not really. Delete delete

Dave, check out the new André 3000 album

I just noticed the pleasant Cowl up top. Very nice.

@Rob F, I have heard some on other WPRB shows. Sounds good

But really, it does beg the question. WTF is up with #3 pencils?

Hi C!

Loving these last 3. Missed the begin. Cheers Friday

@Roffle, yes the album art, inspired by Roger Dean for sure, just like their music was influenced by Yes

Heya Christine and Brian D

Roffle - 25% better than a number 4.

Cheers Brian! Friday indeed!

Morning Christine

Hi, ChristineBoo! 👋 👻❗️

@Dale, I remember having a #3 pencil. Certainly inferior to a #2 pencil, but far easier to erase.

Dale too, good morning. Nice chat today

Greetings MrM 💀 Boo 👻! I missed you.

ChristineBoo, you were missed too! Weird, we are rarely in the same chats. We are busy these days! 🖤💀

WestSiiidddeee!

@MrM, Work has been crazy, but it should be calming down by the end of December. I've missed a lot of WPRB shows.

morning TAndy and Chrsitine. Chirstine - how do you do the gothic font thing?

@Dale, I go to Yaytext: https://yaytext.com/styles/

Thank you I just discovered your show for the first time this morning. Really wonderful. Perfect, Saturday morning radio. I usually don’t listen to the radio but sometimes I’ll turn on my old friend Chuck’s show sleepy Hollow on WXPN. Are used to host that show back in the 80s. Anyway, this morning it was awful. I couldn’t listen for more than a minute. Sorry decided to see what was on WPRB on a Saturday morning and discovered your show. Thank you for the wonderful program.

Good morning, Marc F. It's Friday btw

Glad you found the show though, even if by accident

Except where Mark is located! SATURDAY!

thanks Christine. i'll monkey around with it. or whatever monkey hybrid this show has for it.

Thanks for helping me find what day it is. I’ve been really sick with bronchitis and I was just prescribed codeine, cough medicine. I’ll blame my fogginess on this drugs.

Tomorrow you can enjoy FRIDAY! 💊 💊

Also, maybe take less codeine! 🤓😇

Making a strong case for another cup of coffee.

re:wxpn - i miss wnti.

I’ve been miserable for almost a month. The codeine has really helped. I can see why people get addicted.

got that over the air up here in new york, i liked the sunday sinatra type thing.

Welcome, Mark 👋

Tylenol 3 with codeine is available over the counter in Canada and they pay less for it too. :).

Take yer drug addictions to Canada, Oh Eh! Got it!

Need clue #3

nope. game over. all are winners

No seriously. Keep it goin!

Take off, eh 🇨🇦

What’s this warped Mr. Bojangles?!

That Causa Sui was great. Morning Dave.

Sounds normal to everyone else

Hmmm 🤔

Must be the purple drank

Take that ish to Canada Eh Oh! 😵😵‍💫

Oh BOY

Mornin Rob

putting on my seatbelt

👉💀👈

Howdy TAndy! How are you holding up vis a vis sleep?

🎶 ‘Oh Vienna’ 🎵 🩶

I'm going to take a walk right now. Sorry to miss Difficult Listening Hour. But, closing out my listening with the nice Hedningarna song is a nice transition into being outdoors for a while

enjoy the fine weather, Rob

Later Rob, enjoy the walk!

Still really enjoying your program. I can’t believe I’ve never heard your show before. Half the music you’ve played is in my collection and the other half has been enlightening. What is your name? I’d be surprised if we don’t already know each other.

I'm Dave the Obscure, an unknown entity

But I'm glad I'm able to turn you on to some new music

"new" for you, anyway. A lot of it is old and forgotten.

kind of like Dave the Obscure

Coincidentally I was listening to this Szobel album just last week! Everything old is Bojangles again

amazing for a 17 year old kid

Truly

That Hermann Szobel record has been getting a lot of attention lately. I also recently just listened to it. I bought that record when it was new.

great acquisition

ha ha

And I’m cry

no crying during The New Abnormal

just grim stoicism

Quite the exemplary show! Big cheers to you, DJ DaveTheObscure!

Mine is a vinyl LP on Arista records. I think it’s a promo copy.

Amazing he got onto that major label. Must have been his uncle pulling strings

Intense and difficult for 9:30 am, love it!

we're all about difficult on The New Abnormal

Well I'm going to try and get some rest, hopefully. Have a good day, everyone. Nice to have you aboard, Mark!

For anyone who is interested, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum will be playing Philadelphia's Underground Arts on 3/16. 💤🦍 🏛

sleep well, TAndy

Night, TAndy 💤

Final Fourteen Mins?! I’m still cry 😭

not allowed

hold yourself together, man!

I’m over it

I may cry a little. Excellent show today, DTO! 😶‍🌫️

Thanks for another splendid show, Dave! And Christine, I’ve already got my SGM tickets!

Thanks DTO!!

Hey, Bud Thanks for dropping by

Thanks DTO, always appreciated

☠️

Nice, Bud! I was happy to see that the concert will be happening next year.

Cheers, Dave the Obscure. It's a honor. 🎖

Thanks for listening and keeping me company in the chat this morning.
