the GOAT

Amazing show! I have just heard so many new favorite artists!

Hey, Jeff! That's our mission here at WPRB. It's gratifying to hear that listeners appreciate the effort

OZRIC TENTACLESSSSS LFG

ofc

👉💀👈

I'm keeping it easy and slouched (⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)

👈💀👉

I love how the only video of this performed live is in what looks like a school's music department.

Ha! I did not know there was a video too

You mean they weren't at Budokan?

They sounded as good live as they did for their studio recording. Clearly having a blast playing their own music too.

🤪

DJ DaveTheObscure, thanks for all the brilliant music on this radio, I mean it!! 💟🖤💀

TARKUS!

Good ears, Brian! And good morning

thanks, MrM 💜

This is unreal dude

Ryoko Ono is phenomenal

This all sounds so familiar, but this is my first time ever hearing this.

it's only slightly similar to the Emerson Lake & Palmer original

relentless

impenetrable

Oh my god you're right I actually DID hear that before then. I heard it on DJ Bohr's show! Of which the next features him!

Does that mean every DJ has a high caliber of musical taste at WPRB? I do believe so, and that's worth pledging for.

someone else played Tarkus? I hope not, like, last week

DJ DaveTheObscure! Many thanks for the consistent TopTier quality of your every show! Get back on the radio before next Friday! Big cheers and kind regards to you, Sir! 💟🖤💀

You mean to tell me I can expect good music at ANY point throughout the week? Gosh, I'll even increase my pledge and be a monthly doner! Thanks for the show, Dave! 😀

JUICE NEWTON 💗

thanks for listening, folks! And thanks for supporting WPRB!

This is lovely.

ruined it

Was lovely...

My curse has gotten worse.

not my fault

it was broken when I came in

Not it

Auto DJ played that a few weeks ago and it threw me off.

rebooting
