With DJ Jagannath

Blood Meridian: or, The Evening Redness in the West

He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

Morning everyone and welcome back to the Untranslatable!
𓀠 ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 𓀡 7:11:23 AM
Funky drumming on FM
DJ Jagannath (host) 7:11:53 AM
Oh what
DJ Jagannath (host) 7:12:44 AM
That is not intended
𓀠 ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ 𓀡 7:17:22 AM
Ok your music is on
DJ Jagannath (host) 7:17:24 AM
Okay we are back
DJ Jagannath (host) 7:17:46 AM
Sorry about that! Hope this is somewhat better than the funky drumming
TAndy 7:23:16 AM
Mornin
DJ Jagannath (host) 7:23:38 AM
Morning TAndy how's it goin
TAndy 7:27:00 AM
Pretty alright, just chillin
DJ Jagannath (host) 7:31:10 AM
Small error on that last comment, this is still the String Quartet (last movement) and it will be followed by Black Angels
Rob from Maryland 🦀 7:32:26 AM
Good morning, DJ J and TA and DtO. I just woke up, am happy to hear Kronos Quartet
DJ Jagannath (host) 7:33:01 AM
Morning Rob! They're so good and this is a really cool composition by Schnittke
TAndy 7:36:13 AM
Good morning Rob
Richard Mitnick 8:37:53 AM
I have just clicked in. Happy to have you in my digiteria. I hope you have a great show.
DJ Jagannath (host) 8:39:28 AM
Morning Richard! Hope you enjoy today's picks
TAndy 9:08:51 AM
Alright NOW I can chat a little more. Had to go out to the shop, just waiting to get some new brakes.
DJ Jagannath (host) 9:09:39 AM
Haha no worries I'm just out here studying anyway
DJ Jagannath (host) 9:10:50 AM
Hope you've been tuned in
TAndy 9:12:29 AM
I have! Loved that LG Olsen a little while earlier
DJ Jagannath (host) 9:13:28 AM
That is a really cool album but listening to it through is a little painful
DJ Jagannath (host) 9:13:47 AM
4.5 hours isn't as bad as NSB's Daughter of Darkness though
TAndy 9:17:54 AM
As long as it's not an obnoxious drone hahah
B Farar 9:18:44 AM
Hello! Having grown up on the Texas/Mexico border I am particularly enjoying your playlist.
TAndy 9:20:01 AM
Welcome!
DJ Jagannath (host) 9:20:05 AM
Hey B Farar! That's exactly the vibe I was going for and high praise, thank you!
DJ Jagannath (host) 9:23:03 AM
Stick around till 10 for some more cool stuff although less directly in that theme
TAndy 9:42:47 AM
This rules
DJ Jagannath (host) 9:43:34 AM
One of the classic black metal bands but this is a lot more melodic than their usual stuff
DJ Jagannath (host) 9:44:00 AM
Directly inspired by Blood Meridian! The phrase "they rode on" is super commonly used
TAndy 9:48:22 AM
They rode on, but to where
TAndy 9:51:23 AM
Also, thanks for the tunes!
DJ Jagannath (host) 9:53:10 AM
Usually to nowhere! There's a lot of riding around for no real reason
DJ Jagannath (host) 9:53:19 AM
And of course, thanks for tuning in
