calling it now e is edm and f is folk

hmmm... guess youll have to stay tuned to find out

do i win a prize if i’m right

yes!

so exciting i’m going to keep guessing to increase my odds

e was definitely right!

for g… maybe grunge?

another really good guess

stumped on h though. any hints?

hm. you could dance to it!

hip hop?

no...

for i i’m going indie

shoot……… hdance music?

you got it

just kidding haha, indie is good though!

what about 🏠🎶

buzzer beater yay!

yep!

j for jazz?

yes!

omg i love this song

it’s really i for (bon) iver

great album

hah!

you should listen to his live cover of babys… one of my favorites oat

📝 noted

with absolutely no hints, i think k will be kanikapila

no way

l is lo-fi?

yes

m… motown?

no....

mariachi?

nope...

streak broken! almost had half the alphabet

very nearly!! well done

Modern classical for M?

and hi

hah. no it ended being just metal (rarely heard on this show)

we onto P now!

M=metal, duuuuh. Can you tell I only just tuned in to your show?

whaaat no i had no clue haha!

Are you playing these alphabetical genres right now?

yes

P=polka?

post rock!

So p is not polka

my love for sigur ros demanded it

not polka. i feel like i could do half a dozen of these shows with wholly different lineups of genres hah

P = post rock, of course. Too bad it's not punk ;-)

it crossed my mind, but ive dying to find an excuse to get some post rock on for this time slot

This Sigur Rós piece is nice, I'm not familiar with them

they are like a fundamental post rock band imo

stunning vocals, lots of strings, beautiful albums that feel organic

I'm glad you did choose post rock

thanks!

OK DJ Bohr, go on with your bad self. She's also featured on "Computer Love" by Zapp

sup dj bohr!

hey MG!

marcus; will do! haha. ill have to check that one out, see if we can get it on air sometime!

sigur ros is like a core band for my buds, so always excited when they get played! My buddy and his wife saw them in Iceland for their honeymoon if i remember correctly like 3/4 years ago.

The Quiet Storm! Also part of the late night programming on WBLS NYC in the 80's

@mg oooh wow im so jealous. next time they are on the east coast i will be making it a point to go see them live

@marcus yes! (not a lot of q genres out there) but thats great to know... maybe if i ever go back to an early AM slot ill bring out PRBs own rendition of quiet storm

other all sample bands: M|A|R|R|S, The Wiseguys

I remember occasionally listening to The Quiet Storm on WHUR back in the day

ill check those bands out... PBS's album on the space race is my favorite

errr PSB's lol

thats sick rob

MARRS: "Pump up the volume", Wiseguys: "Start the Commotion"

Hey DJ Bohr, what is the genre for that Frank Zappa song?

art rock!

@marcus, illl give a listen on my way home!

here are the genres so far:

Art rock, durrrr

Art Rock Blues Country Disco Electronic Folk Grunge House Indie Folk Jazz Kanikapila Lo-Fi Metal Neo-Psychedelia Orchestral Pop Post Rock Quiet Storm Reggae Sample-delia Trip Hop UK House

"W" could be Western Swing: Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys or Ramblin' Tommy Scott

Bohr, thanks! Marcus, yes!

I think you all will like the choice for W...

@DJ Bohr, if you do another show, maybe you could do Cumbia for "C"?

ill make a list now!

Welcome to the Quiet Storm (sounds of distant thunder)

Y=yodeling?

yacht rock....

Oh gawd yacht rock.

lol

This is not Yacht Rock. Yacht Rock is 70's Top 40 AM radio

ah i was lied to!

i shoudlve gone with my gut and played steely dan

K=Kulning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulning ... "Kulning features in the music of some Scandinavian folk groups, for example Heilung, Gjallarhorn and Frifot (featuring singer Lena Willemark)."

This is more like the music at a TGIF on a Saturday night in 1988

I've seen some live Scandi folk bands incorporating kunling in their performances. It can be stunning

Steely Dan: definitely

Steely Dan: avoids

hah

well thanks for tuning in guys!

stay tuned for a future redo of the theme!

I'm looking forward to a redo!
