welome to the chat! last one of 2023 together

Good morning 😶‍🌫️

mornin' ǝʌɐꓷ! how goes it after the storm?

Storm? It was just some rain. No troubles. Not like Superstorm Sandy.

Aye. There was a storm, though. Or perhaps I just mistook the incense smoke as heavy clouds.

all about perspective I suppose. good morning TAndy, and welcome

any best of 2023 shouts we should all be knowing about?

Good morning Leafy and Dave. I will be sleeping soon, but I'm going to enjoy what I hear anyway. Won't be my first time dreaming along with PRB

hey now. nice way to easssse into the morning.

rest well TAndy, and welcome Dale! some more soft listening to come this first hour

this mary lattimore reminds me of warren ellis a tad.

mm, that is a nice shout

lovely South African harmonies from Abel Selaocoe

Nguyên Lê 💜

Sounding good, Leafy 🍃

Hi Christine, and thank you!

oh good morning, Christine

DJ Leafy! Excellent selections! Many thanks!

cheers, thank you very much MrMalcontent :)

Big CHEERS to you DJ Leafy! 🎉🪅

𝒪𝒽 ℊℴℴ𝒹 𝓂ℴ𝓇𝓃𝒾𝓃ℊ

Hi! 👋 ChristineBoo! 👻 Oh!

oh look who’s here 💟

-ᎷяM🐻‍❄️ 💜

Greetings Dave the Obscure 😶‍🌫️, Dale 😸, TAndy 🚩🐈‍⬛️,

And MrM 💀 Boo 👻!

SLeepITOFfTAndy 😵‍💫

Happy days to you Dale!

Dream along 😴💭

Morning folks. Took me a second to place this cover!

‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ 💖

WHITNEY HOUSTON 💔❤️‍🩹❤️♥️❤️‍🔥

herro dere christine and ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ

That was a lovely rendition

yes agreed Christine, just soft and nice

and good morning to you iamthelabhras!

Morning, iamthelabhras ☘️

look at.the freedom of freeform punctuation: and dare I add; sentence.structure in the description.written by DJ$ԼзαᏐᎽ • to whom,do I address this/letter¿¡ 🥵

hahahaha

i usually write in lower case for safety, but not sure where all the extra punctuation came from this time

safety? I am literally DEAD. please.explain. before. my,burial

Ay Miho

a lot of sharp edges on upper case letters... too easy to get scratched

6am is too early for belly laughs so just don’t right now

Seriously cannot believe you found all these gems from 2023!

it's been a great year for music! the show was surprisingly easy to put together

Especially from SIGUR RÓS 🩶 and AROOJ AFTAB 💗

any absolute faves this year anyone? like, life-course-altering kind of music?

MrM, 🩶💗 to both

This playlist is rocking my world. 🫨🫨🫨

I really like Decisive Pink's Ticket To Fame album from earlier this year.

@Leafy 9:27: I didn't have any life-course-altering musical discoveries in 2023, but I *did* have plenty of great WPRB finds. Ed. Maciel's cover of "It's Too Late". Jonny Kosmo's "How High". Asha Puthli's "Space Talk". And many others besides!

I outsource a good chunk of my musical discovery to WPRB DJs. Esp. now that AKA Music is no more!

like this m83.

M83 💙

@iamthelabhras thanks for the shouts, will be looking those up later on :)

This M83 track has some nice Lanterna vibes baked into it.

This M83 track is 💯

outsourcing to WPRB has the benefit of not compromising on quality

glad y'all like the M83 track, super great build in that one

@Leafy 9:49: For real!

GRMA for some great tunes, @Leafy. See you next year.

DJ ԼеαғᎽ, kudos on the end of days spectacular! Happy New Year! 🎆 Kind regards to you! 🖤💀

Excellent picks for the best of 2023, Leafy. Cheers!

Happy New Year 🎆

thanks so much everyone! happy new year to all

Michael Cleveland is amazing. Played down the road in Doylestown a few months back at a concert my friends put on at the Moravian Tileworks

Cheers to all the Dears, especially those with Big Ears!

Used to see him when he was in Rhonda Vincent's band then later in his own solo band Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper

and here's some of that for you Brian D!

Congratulations 🎊🎉

yes yes Micheal Cleveland is one of my favorite finds of 2023 for sure

thanks everyone, good day!
