the living ritual Thu Jan 4 with deirdre dionysiac on WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

Heyo 😷. The virus-haver is here to make viral moments

I take it that you are also sick

But you need to take it easy with spreading these jams because they are just infectious right now

Frantic fun song!

Hey Lizbot. I woke up extremely late so I only caught the last half hour of your show while I was rushing to get ready for work. Really love that song that you played before the final long mic break

First-ever broadcast from my bedchambers, it's a rumpus room clearly

And yep, COVID by 2nd round TKO. Feeling fine, though. This "studio" has been my humble prison for the last 4 days

I have come down with whatever it is that gave me a sore throat and an extremely bad case of tonsillitis

ouch. there is a plethora of strands and fungal spores being spewed, i've had like 3 different things over the past couple weeks and everyone in my house is sick with different stuff. we're hygenic, we swear!

This is my fourth time being sick within less than a 12-month stretch and honestly I'm over it

I went the entirety of 2019 all the way up until last June without getting a single contagious illness

Yeah, it's been heavy this year. No hope for me for now while working in a school, hope it'll be out of everyone's systems when I return

Evening Dei

Hey Ossy! Can I ask how the voice level sounded with respect to the music? Could you hear me fine? Have a new software setup tonight that hasn't really been tested yet

Oh you have new software today? I heard you loud and clear before mentioning

Glad to hear it! And sorta, I had to upgrade it to new versions shortly before showtime and am getting used to the levels.

love the alien sounds behind the mic lol

Just the sound of your everyday suburb according to Richard Maxfield, apparently

a suburb with a win95 background in the horizon yea

Awesome space

I want this set to sound like the atmosphere of my room over the last few days, hearing occasional stray sounds from outside and signs of life going on

i know that feeling all too well

having gone from an extended downtime due to mental health into MORE downtime due to physical health i'm just ready to feel human again

I hear that. Monday will be my first day worked in 18 days lol. Ran out of things to do so I've been rearranging my living spaces all week. I'd like this to be a very active year so it's been a welcome time off I suppose

Ooh this is sick. I love Dub Techno in this style, I never knew where to look for more of it aside from BTS label

*BTC Label. (Back To Chill)

I like the serene suspense of this

Not a place i typically look but boomkat i think called this their release of the year or something. This track was described as a dialogue between noise and gospel music and i was in. like it a lot!

And yeah, seems that "Angels Never Expire" has 8-10 releases to look into for more of that vibe

Hello dudes

Sorry to see half this chat is ill. Ossy, how you feeling?

Thanks for the red, Deirdre. I'm familiar with Boomkat but their catalog is so massive. Hey DSM

This Kate Carr track is extremely Burial-esque, down to the use of samples and field recordings

She lets the city speak like few artists. Hey DSM! We

DSM, I'm good thanks. So cold chilly, however, especially in the house. Can't "wait" for the impending snow storm in the weekend ❄🥶

Well, not sure what i was going to say about "we." We here, we managing, we're thinking of buttered sourdough bread

That’s good Ossy. Excited for some snow as well, but the forecast for me keeps changing from snow to rain so not sure what will happen

Buttered sourdough bread is top tier toast for me

Unfortunately the storm is going to be a total bust for anyone around and east of I95. Imagine my disappointment in seeing the NAM and GFS go from giving Trenton up to 11 inches down to 4 inches, with indications of more wet snow/sleet than real snow :(

Ugh the sleet and ice is the worst. Just want a bunch of powdery fluff.

I was hoping for more snow so that I could bury the POS car parked in my spot thats been there unmoved for the past week.

Neighbor likes to get junk cars, fix them, and re-sell them. That's cool and all, but the guy lives on a completely different street and parked in a way that makes the other spot so hard to get into. Imagine my temptation to leave an insulting parking card on the windscreen

Been there, TAndy. Last week had a ticketed car sitting out front that was just filled with a mountain of old wires. Looked like a monster from Tetsuo the Iron Man. Then one day it was just gone

Estoy deprimido sobre la nieve.

This track freakin rules btw

Heck yea

Anyone know what the original Morricone song is called?

There was this dude in my neighborhood who lived across the street and a block away but INSISTED on parking both of his cars in the spots next to my apartment. I confronted him once about it and he didn't do anything. Left his shitbox posted up for 2 months, police refused to move it. I left a note on the door and buried it with snow a few times.

Night-driving into the apocalypse with this song

(Don’t worry, no longer driving…but I feel like I am with thissong)

Someone else must have been pissed because I went out one day and saw both rear-views smashed to pieces and a huge scratch on the drivers side door. It was moved later that day, bever seen again LOL

George just described that W’S song as: “ The Road of Endless Night… We March.”

Haha, glad i didn't send you into a cyclic somnambular roll with the car in neutral

Handless, face caved in by tow truck, WE MARCH

@deirdre - I was enjoying my defroster on high super toasty drive in a trance of HEGIRA MOYA and Klein “Schooled”

It's tense out there, TAndy

Heaven is most likely just a private driveway and a garage at the end.

This song's the musical true neutral of car relations

I’m so glad I no longer have to engage in the musical chairs of street parking in my old Philly neighborhood where parking spots were extremely rare after 6 pm and things escalated to a Battle Royale of “saving” spaces with broken chairs and old toilets once snow was on the ground and spots had to be dug out. 40% of the normally viable spots were nonexistent due to snow plow-formed mountains of snow and slush

@deirdre - where on that scale is Cars by Gary Numan?

God I wish I had an old toilet to mark my parking space LOL

Hm, feel like it's in the lawful column. Although nothing seems right...in cars

@TAndy - People get creative. The ultimate is something that looks super heavy and intimidating to move, but is actually hollow.

All Cars Are Sisters...chaotic good?

@deirdre - JG Ballard’s “Crash” is chaotic evil

@Deirdre - The Normal’s Warm Leatherette is lawful evil?

We'll have to reopen that case of that crash and examine the facts

Not sure if Alan's listening tonight, this one was in part for him

Great show tonight Deidre, thank you very much.

Well my car is sitting in jeapordy of a ticket, but this show has been a win for the bedroom wi-fi. No more dingy kitchen table shows on the horizon, I'm living now

Saucy synth sax carries us off into the night

Or maybe an ewi

Thanks Deirdre, liked that show a great deal.

I was just looking up that Limes song Die In A Motorcar only to have an article pop up that he recently Did die in a car crash 😳

We must abandon our motorcars like TAndy's neighbor
