Hey everyone, welcome back to the Untranslatable! Got a bunch of cool folk(ish) stuff lined up

Good morning DJ Jagannath! Avant-folk!!?? Um, we are not leaving the house until 10 am

Morning Rob! Not exactly morning for me but I'm glad to hear that you'll be tuned in

It's not morning bc you're still awake? Or bc you are in India?

The latter, it's afternoon here

I appreciate being able to sleep in on Monday mornings lol

Oh cool! Good afternoon then :-D Here the sun hasn't risen yet though it is getting lighter. And the temperature is 22 degrees ... F not C :-( (another reason we will be indoors until 10 am)

Honestly I would take that over the 30 C winters

good morning...digging the eliza doolittle enunciation exercise.

That does have its advantages ... the humidity isn't a factor in what the temperature feels like at 22 F

@Dale, that's wonderful!

Morning Dale! That's a great way to put it lol

This is the most out-there track on this album, it's a mix of Slavic folk with modern minimalism

This is the stuff.

Morning jim! It really is

great set of music!!!

Thanks Dale! This song especially is so good

Recommend checking out the rest of the Auvergnat folk scene (esp La Tene) if you like this

For a half minute, FM was just broadcasting the funky drumming

I think that was a connection issue - we're back now right?

Hi! The funky drummer music was on for almost a minute and then I couldn't log in to the chat for another 2 minutes.

But everything is okay now!

Yes, just a brief glitch

okay great sorry about that

*Except that it takes 15 seconds or more for my comments to appear

For some reason the same with me

Or no longer

Test

15 second comment delay is over now

Yeah very odd

Mornin

Morning TAndy

Morning TAndy (and Dave the Obscure)

Good morning, folks

Morning Dave and thanks for the funky drummer catch

morning folks

Morning Mok

I love this week. It's so quiet at work I can blast PRB and not bother anyone.

You should get everyone else listening to WPRB as well

I fear there are no other music heads like me at work.

I have just clicked in. Happy to have you in my digiteria. I hope you have a great show.

Morning Richard and thank you!

Powerful show on this early tired morning, DJ J.

Ty TAndy, pretty much everything here was new to me so it's been fun putting it together

Every time I do one of these I realize how many cool genres are out there I've never really listened to

Ive just sent this to a friend who has a bit of interest in the music Out There

Hope they like it and ty!

I'm loving the gradual increase of intensity going on

That's why I picked this one, the more avant shift at the 9 min mark is really cool

I have just clicked in. Happy to have you in my digiteria. I hope you are having a great show.

Moves more into free improv

Anytime I hear something mystical sounding with a banjo I gotta send it to them

Very understandable

I am a bit gutted I missed the first hour or so, but I woke up in the middle of the night and needed that extra couple hours of sleep 😭

Haha of course! I'd recommend checking out the Toad track most but the Opus Posth and the ones in cyrillic are all great

Oh THIS is sinister as heck. Love this.

Ty for the recs too!

Senyawa is an Indonesian experimental band, this is a fusion of traditional Javanese music with drone which I find fascinating

A heavy drone can make anything sound darker than it would otherwise

And better!

@TAndy, we enthusiastically second DJ J's recommendation of the Toad track and the Opus Posth track

this is wild. entire show has been a delight - a dark delight.

Thanks for the tunes, and have a great holiday!

Thanks Dale and TAndy! Happy holidays to you as well and see you next week

Thank you DJ Jagannath for this wonderful show!! We wish you happy holidays and a happy new year!!

Ofc Rob! Happy holidays to you too
